Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed is excelled by none in the United States and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing 20 acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice Milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removed rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

Alexandria Daily Gazette, COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL.
A young gentleman, formerly member of the Adelphian Society of Bacon Academy, Colchester, (Connecticut) has favored us with a collection of original pieces, performed at their annual exhibition in 1806. Among these we find the following, which breathes the attic spirit of Connecticut wit.— Pastime.
THE CUP OF TEA—A POEM.
WRITTEN AND SPORKE BY D. HUNTINGTON. Argument—Introduction—Allusion to Barlow's Hasty Pudding—Address to Tea—the Destruction of Tea at Boston, on account of the Duties on it—Praise of Navigation—Sugar—Slaves on the Plantations—Praise of Commerce—Cream—the Milk-maid's Process of making Tea—a Tea party—Dedication of the Poem to the Fair Sex.
To sink the soul, by vicious strokes of art, To drown the genius, ana benumb the heart; To make mankind in conscious virtue sink, Live o'er each cup, and be but what they drink: For this the tipling muse first trod the press, Commanding wine to stream through every mess; Toppers no more their sober nature kept, And friends to Bacchus wonder'd how they slept. But not to night prevails the drinking song, Nor Bacchus' sweets employ the fault'ring tongue: A sober theme the present hour employs— I sing of private peace, domestic joys.
O, Muse! who taught your Barlow's lines to flow, And all the charms of Hasty Pudding show; Who deign'd to help the yankey theme along, And kept the kettle boiling in his song— Now for a moment bend your beams on me, And guide my pen to sing the charms of Tea! The subject well deserves thy aid supreme— The poet humble, but august the theme— Made sweet with sugar and enriched with cream.
Hail, lovely Tea! with double profit grac'd, To follow fashion, and to please the taste. From east to west thy spreading flame has flown, And name is known.
T' advance thy praise the polished world combine, And belles and beauties bow before thy shrine. What'er thy kind, what'er thy title be— Souchong, or green, or hyson, or bohea: The same thy substance, and the same thy use, Thy taste as grateful, and thy sweets profuse.
Thy pleasing power the British tyrant own'd, When on Columbia's infant states he frown'd, And, bent to make an instrument of thee, For royal vengeance, laid a tax on Tea. O, day of loss! when first in Boston's port, Whither the merchants, with their fleets resort,
The tidings came; the colony arose, In words of wisdom, gendering future blows. Then numerous chests of ever precious Tea, Roll from their decks, and glut the gaping sea! Must, then, the fair support the nation's cost, And the sweet solace of thou lives be lost? Could the stern fates no lighter vengeance find?
Could nothing less appease the royal mind? Ah! no—the pride of China gluts the sea, And Neptune's court regale themselves on Tea! Hail! sovereign China! queen of every art! Who dost thy riches to the world impart; From thy blest shores the precious herbage came, Thine be the honor, thine the lasting fame.
See! the tall bark is welcom'd to the shore Laden with treasure from each foreign store. The costly cargo decks each smiling strand, With bales and boxes, to enrich the land. See the rich goods, the wealth of commerce see, Nor overlook the pond'rous chest of Tea, Hail Navigation! patroness of art! Who help'st all realms their riches to impart; Who help'st the world for common good to join,
And all the nations brotherly combine. Join, too, ye fair! Your votive voices raise, In charming concert, in the pleasing praise. Great good, by her, is brought to you & me, For you can sip, and I can sing, of Tea.
Yet not to Tea, alone, the song confined, For sweet'ning Sugar to the juice is joined: By this enriched, the grateful cup is grac'd, To help the flavor and improve the taste, Shall fancy wait us, now, to India's isle, To view, with pitying eye, the Africk's toil? See nature's riches in the sun-burnt plain, And watch the labors of the nectar'd cane. Sad were the task, ill-spent the poet's time, To sing of slavery in this cheerful clime. On such a theme, sad would the numbers flow, A theme replete with misery and woe. Ere now, the muse the tale of sorrow hears, And low'ry helicon is stain'd with tears.
Again to Commerce we our blessings tend, To us a favorite, to earth a friend, She spreads the sail that aids the bark to sweep, The foaming surface of the sounding deep. She guides, benignant, to the destin'd strand, And wafts her gen'rous gifts from land to land. She brings us Bacchus, god of grateful glee; She brings us Sugar, and she brings us Tea.
From Tea and Sugar, now another theme Attention calls—we sing the cooling Cream. To this the sweets of rural life belong, And honest industry improves the song. Our happy plains, remote from war's alarm, And bounteous beauties of the fruitful farm.
Soon as Aurora gilds the smiling scene, The merry milk-maid treads the dewy green. Daughter of innocence—whose charming face Ne'er felt the burning blush of dire disgrace; Whose modest eye deception never tried, Nor look'd a sentiment her heart denied; Whose breath, more fragrant than the rosy gale
That wafts the sweets of every blooming vale. Ne'er form'd a word that virtue could reprove, Nor swell'd a sigh but that of virtuous love. No pearls or gold adorn her snowy breast, The seat, serene, of innocence and rest. Her jetty ringlets act the jewel's part, Wave round her neck and mock the pomp of art, While the rich milk is foaming in the pail. The shining pan now decks the dairy's beam, And its smooth surface ripens into Cream. When Sol, descending, sheds a slanting light, And length'ning shades proclaim approaching night, Which absent, yet its peaceful pleasures lends, And noisy noon with sober evening blends: The busy maid, whom all the youth admire, Fans to a flame the cheerful kitchen fire; Then to the well she flies, with joyful glee, And fills the kettle with the future Tea— Soon, boiling, in the china is it pour'd, And then with Cream and Sugar decks the board,
See now the smiling family around The table plac'd, where simple sweets abound: Each friendly neighbor finds a vacant chair, And hearty welcome to the luscious fare. The tender tale goes round, the harmless jest. And mutual mirth improves the royal feast. Tea lends its soft, exhilarating charms, And sympathising joy each bosom warms; The sweetened streams all secret sorrow chide, And soon despondence in its trickling tide.
At eve the toils of industry may cease, And labor yield to sweet domestic peace. And joys to see the bustling business o'er. The willing farmer quits the teeming earth, And joins his happy household round the hearth.
The tumult ceases, all the world retires, To smiling circles round the cheerful fires; The evening hour from fretful cares is free, All grief retires before the cup of Tea, E'en boisterous beaux that love the noisy inn, And spend the day in fashionable sin, Contented leave the scene of joy and glee, To taste the pleasures of a cup of Tea. Ye Fair! To you I dedicate my song, To you my earnest services belong! Give me the joy while men the theme deride. To know that you espouse your poet's side; I ask but this—I ask it for my fee— Go, praise my poem—o'er a CUP OF TEA!
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
FEW events are more pregnant with important consequences than those which have lately happened in Spain. The French yoke has always been galling to that nation, which has felt it the more, on account of the ancient and deep antipathy it has had for the French. Towards the English, on the contrary, the Spaniards entertain strong sentiments of partiality, which will be strengthened and expanded by the useful and indispensable co-operation G. Britain can furnish in the present interesting struggle. Whether this will be effectual, and terminate in the repulse of Bonaparte and his hordes of cut-throats; or whether the country, after being swept by his proscriptions and exactions, will be quietly annexed to his empire, is an uncertainty which will excite the liveliest interest of the patriots of all countries. Heaven, which alone could have inspired so universal, ardent and brave an opposition to injustice and oppression, must be propitious to the cause, in which an agonized people are staking every thing for the preservation of their liberties.
It may be anticipated that the British orders in council will be rescinded as respects all the ports of Spain and Portugal, as a matter of justice as well as friendly accommodation. This measure, under different circumstances, would add to the extensive and profitable vents which are open to us for a trade perversely interdicted by ourselves, to the impoverishment of the nation, and the destruction of its finances. Spain and Portugal are among the most important consumers of our productions, and with
their colonies, which, if we were wise, would be immediately and unreservedly thrown open to us, would infuse such an activity into our commerce, as would soonest repair the losses we have sustained by the embargo. Great Britain will however be the only gainer; as, without a competitor, she carries on maritime commerce, and monopolizes the trade of the world. She will, therefore, pour in her supplies by means of her own vessels, and feel less solicitous about our non-importation laws, which were intended to reduce her to our own terms.
The fate of Portugal is decided in such a manner as will probably make room for the return of its royal family from the Brazils; insomuch, that it ought not to astonish, if that event took place within the current year. Junot's army is, cut off from reinforcements and supplies: and its diminutive force, after the subtraction of the Spaniards, must determine its extinction at the hand of the foes embodied against it by the change of circumstances in Spain.
That a loyal and persevering opposition to France will be maintained in both those countries, in which will be buried the feuds, which in less dangerous times, estranged them from each other, is to be expected; and that it will diminish the pressure of military coercion in other countries, kept down by the heavy hand of French despotism, at the same time that it will encourage and incite to an imitation of the example, is probable. Thus it may happen, that two nations, hitherto regarded as most destitute of a conservatory spirit and vigor, and sunk in the oblivious apathy, generated by corrupted institutions, may by being stunned into activity, never cease till they have set bounds to the career of the greatest conqueror of modern times.
It must, however, be confessed, that in vain will the British navy protect them upon their coasts, and the Pyrenees shelter them against a descent from the land, if they do not cherish an unanimity of acting, superior to every consideration, which could affect the general security and the common defence. It will be necessary for them not only to discard all perplexing questions of internal arrangement, which can be better settled in more quiet times, but to guard against foreign interpositions, and more especially the ever active, invisible, penetrating, fatal influence of France. They are not embarrassed with the presence of a Ferdinand. He may be endeared to the loyal Spaniards, but the country is of more importance than the prince. The heads and hearts which are to guide and to execute the measures of safety, ought not to desist from the steady pursuit of their undertaking, until they have attained their end, and fixed its accomplishment upon an immutable foundation. The absence of the Prince cuts off every cause of uneasiness and hesitancy, which could flow from the passions, the weakness and prejudices of an individual. Correctly considered, the concerns of the Prince, if Bonaparte does not indeed annihilate them by the treacherous destruction of his person and family—the concerns of the Prince are merged in what influences the condition of the nation; and nothing but the concurrence of the collective bravery and abilities of its patriots can uphold it under its trials.
It was to have been expected that the persons, who have aroused, and who lead the councils of the nation, would have re-established the title of Charles, instead of acknowledging the authority of the son. The crown appeared to have been usurped by the latter, and as the rights and pretensions of both reverted to the nation for its decision, it may seem extraordinary, that the preference was given to Ferdinand. But let it be considered that the Prince of Peace was a like odious to the nation, devoted to France, and the favorite who directed the measures of the late king. The latter could not have been reinstated without exposing the establishment to new dangers of the same kind, through the dangerous and insidious councils of the Prince of Peace. Nothing would have been gained by the contest; which would moreover have been impeded or perhaps frustrated by the jealousy and hatred entertained towards him by the grandees and the people. In short, the name of Charles the Fourth, identified with the Prince of Peace, would not have sufficed to rally the nation.
Whatsoever may be its termination, we ought to regard it as a struggle, in which humanity and our own interests are deeply involved. Though the Washington Monitor tells us that "resistance is phrenzy, where the contest is hopeless," and that it would be better for the brave king of Sweden and the Spaniards "to submit, and wait more favorable times," we hope our administration will not take a part against them by adding douciers to aid the French in their subjugating projects, and to purchase,
by anticipation, the Spanish territories which they wish to usurp. If there be induced hearts, which cannot sympathize in the general struggles for freedom or to maintain a neither honor nor neutrality will permit them to afford to the oppressor the sinews of war from our treasury. But as our political dexterity is never displayed, but under the exigencies which embarrass others—the season might be considered as inviting, the purse may be held forth to tempt, and the bargain be closed, though our own troubles are next to succeed.
FROM THE N. YORK AMERICAN CITIZEN.
"A round unvarnished tale."—Peace with all nations is undoubtedly our interest, if peace can be maintained without a sacrifice of our honor.
But we are told that we must have either the embargo or war, and if it be so decreed I say let us have the embargo. When a choice of evils is presented, wise men choose the least. Mind! I am no quid, although this election of a lesser evil is quid doctrine. I stick fast to the administration.—We adhere to the embargo (I mean a few of us) because it is said to be a less evil than war.
And we are right in doing so! There is an old adage that tells us, that "none but a fool scourges himself with his own whip."
How we should laugh at the man who would deliberately whip himself by way of taking revenge on his supposed adversary!
And to add to the ridiculous spectacle, the fancied adversary, in our present case, feels none of the blows which we so sagely inflict upon ourselves.
But it is not the threat of war, in case of a removal of the embargo, meant to terrify us into content with what we should otherwise be very dissatisfied? Is it not a scarecrow? Children and birds must some times be frightened.
Why should we have war?
With what nation shall we have it? We have differences with Spain, with France, with England. But I beg Spain's pardon. Spain and France are now one, "flesh of one flesh and bone of one bone." Boney has joined them!
If we must have war had we not better wage it against both France and England? If we must have war I'm for settling all our differences at once—the boundaries of Louisiana—the debt which Spain did owe and which France now owes to the U. States—the Berlin and Milan decrees—the British orders—the affair of the Chesapeake, &c. &c. &c. Would it be wise to settle our national accounts by piece meal? Why drub France first, and afterwards, when we shall have tasted the sweets of half a year's peace, drub England? Two wars might occupy us fourteen years, whereas, according to my plan, which I beg leave to propose, we might settle with both nations in seven. This would be economy of time—economy of treasure—economy of blood. And why, at the close of Mr. Jefferson's administration, abandon the ground on which it was commenced? I'm for economy, let apostates from the republican party say what they will!
But, as will always be the case in a free country, there are, as to the choice of an adversary, differences of opinion. The French partizan wants us to join France against England, and the English partizan wants us to join England against France. And thus by these base champions of two foreign nations, the U. States is made a foot ball for each.
A word to the partizans of France. Those whose bowels yearn for an alliance with his royal & imperial majesty against England, appear not to be aware that they are already gratified to the utmost extent of their hopes. We have an embargo against England. Is not that enough? If any answer that it is not, let me ask what more can we do in favor of France? Suppose war declared against England; suppose ourselves formally and comfortably in alliance with France, what, in the way of hostility, could we add to the embargo? In combating England, France wants ships. Have we any for her use? We cannot aid France there with a navy. But we are a "great land animal." Granted; but does France want an addition to her land forces? And if so could we convey one in safety to her European dominions?
But, we could take Canada. That is certain, and the conquest might be made with an inconsiderable loss of blood and treasure—Nobody doubts this. Yet, in catching Canada, should we not "catch a Tartar?" What use have we for more land? Do we want another Louisiana, and then New Orleans? Canada then is conquered; is ours, say so. What shall we do next? Rest on our arms? Play the game

Alexandria Daily Gazette.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 6.
Extract of a letter from a respectable merchant at Havana, received at New York, dated July 19.
"An express extraordinary has this moment arrived here from Spain, bringing the important news that the emperor Bonaparte no longer exists; that he was killed by the Spaniards at Bayonne."
A late Vermont paper says—"By a gentleman who passed through St. Albans, on Wednesday last, we are informed, that the militia who were called out to support the laws of the union on the shores of Lake Champlain, were disbanded, and returning to their respective homes."
There passed through this village on Friday last, twenty five waggons loaded with five barrels each, of pork, and two with potash, and we are informed by one of the drivers, that there were seventy waggons engaged in the same traffic, which will shortly pass through this town."
(N. Y. Western paper.)
A new market opened for American produce. —The late popular and patriotic revolution in Spain, the expulsion of the French from Cadiz, and the cessation of hostilities between Great Britain and Spain, will open in that country, and her extensive colonies, an immense market for the produce of these states. This great vent for our surplus productions would take off what is now suffered to rot on our own hands, thro' the wisdom of our embargoes. Our wheat, flour, staves, beef, pork, &c. &c. would find a quick and profitable sale, and our shipping and sailors full employment, now that Spain has declared itself independent, and shaken off France domination. We need not now fear the seizure of our ships and cargoes in Spanish ports after having been visited by British cruizers. Besides, it would be madness in our own government not to anticipate and prevent the blow we should receive from driving the colonies of Spain to the necessity of raising wheat, corn, &c. &c. for their own consumption, as well as to supply the British colonies.
[Commercial Adv.]
We learn by two gentlemen, passengers in the ship Caledon, from the Isle of France who did not reach town until last Saturday, that a few days before they sailed, captain Mix, of the ship Sally, of this port arrived at the Isle of France from Batavia, and informed that general Daendels, a member of the Grand Legion of Honor, had arrived at Batavia in an American brig, after having encountered many difficulties and hardships, with full powers from Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland, to take possession of the Batavian government in the name of the King, which was delivered up to him without any difficulty; and that he immediately proceeded to organize the government agreeably to the instructions of his master, and had assured the American captains there, that every indulgence would be shown to the American commerce.
(E. Post.)
The expulsion of the French from the Spanish colonies in our neighborhood will pour upon us an immense number of turbulent and dangerous foreigners. According to the information given to captain M c Neal, a beginning had been made in sending them from Havana; and there can be but little doubt the same measure of precaution will be strictly followed elsewhere. It is probable, that New Orleans will be the place which they will generally prefer; though of all others, it is the most liable to be prejudiced by their presence.
We may presume, that the quiet and honorable Frenchmen settled in the Spanish colonies, will not be molested; and it is reasonable to suppose, that they will be the last to change their residence, if they should be at all compelled to do it. For a similar reason, the first deportations will consist of the worst and most unquiet characters.
(North Amer.)
The French since they occupied Lisbon, have proceeded to make great improvements in this city. The governor has ordered the cleansing and new paving of most of the streets. General Junot has ordered that the images should be melted down. A deputation of Friars waited on him, to procure a respite for a very large and favorite Saint. His answer was—"If the statue is of wood, you may throw it into the Tagus; if brass, you may break it; but if it is silver or gold, you must bring it to me, and I will melt it."
of Alexander, and "weep because we have not another world to conquer?" And we might weep on, for we could conquer nothing else. We have not faith enough to walk across the Atlantic to convoy us thither, and we have no ships in opinion might render a service by stating what we could render after the conquest of Canada. I know that we might suffer an embargo, a non-intercourse, until England would sue for peace, but when that would be God only knows. Our enterprising privateers could and no doubt would capture a few English merchant ships, but what would that do for the nation? The conclusion is that the power of the United States is already as completely thrown into the scale of France against England, as it can be.
The English partizan, who wants an alliance with England against France, has not considered that we can offer no inducement to England to such an alliance. What return could we make for that powerful aid which she could extend to us in a war with France? Her navy is strong enough, but if it were not, we could add nothing to its strength. She wants no land force, she has sufficient for her own defence; and she would not employ it offensively against France with the most distant prospect of success. In what then could we aid England? In nothing but a market, and since she has that at the Brazils, the probability is that she can very well dispense with ours. And as to an embargo against France, that would be nothing. We see that she cares not a jot for it. Perhaps it is because we can afford no aid to England that she is not prompt to do us justice. How easy it would be for her to involve us in war with France, if this was her object! Suppose France to adhere to her decrees, as she no doubt will—suppose England to recall her orders, adjust the affair of the Chesapeake, and make a commercial treaty with us; Could we, under such circumstances avoid a war with France? I think not. And yet, although this is entirely in the power of England, she moves not her finger to effect it. Can any cause be assigned for her indifference but the one which I have mentioned? We mistake the nature of our power; it is entirely defensive and as such, is equal to the world openly in arms against us. But what nation can guard against the secret means of Napoleon? By seduction nations are half conquered before the sword is drawn to complete their ruin. Mr. Madison would not resist until resistance would be useless.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, August 3.
Latest from London.
By the arrival of the ship Union, Jacobs, from London, (which port she left on the 11th June) the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, has received a file of London Papers to the 9th June, and Lloyd's List's to the 7th inclusive. Captain Jacobs had a paper of the 11th, but he gave it on his passage to the captain of a British frigate.
Doctor Heermann, a passenger, is the bearer of dispatches from our minister at London, and from St. Petersburg, to the government of the U. States. He informs us that the British orders in council, it was expected in London, would shortly be so modified as not materially to affect neutrals. The riots in Manchester, and the other manufacturing towns in England, though in a great measure kept under, were not altogether extinguished.
The Union has upwards of 3000 letters. We have also received by the Havana Packet a Proclamation from the Governor, and Council at Havana, opening the ports of Havana to the English, and declaring war against France in the name of Ferdinand VII. Intelligence of the recent revolution in Spain reached that island by the ship Dispatch, Singleton, of Philadelphia, in 34 days from Cadiz. She brought out a great number of Spanish officers, from the new government or junta at Seville.
A letter from the Havana dated the 20th July, expresses an opinion as current, that all French property would be confiscated, and all Frenchmen, not domiciliated, would be compelled to quit the island.

STANDING ARMIES.
PEOPLE —Have you forgotten how these democratic printers and other head men of the party, used to whine and cry about the danger of standing armies in Washington and Adam's times; were they sincere—or was it only because they were not appointed officers in it? Let their conduct now answer.
(Trenton Fed.)
Dean Jackson passing one morning thro' Christ church quadrangle, met some under graduates, who walked on without capping. The dean called one of them, and asked him, "Do you know who I am?" "No, sir." "How long have you been in college?" "Eight days, sir." "Oh! very well," said the dean, "puppies don't open their eyes 'till the ninth day."
REVERIE IN AN EVENING WALK.
"An undevout astronomer is mad."
"GREAT and marvellous are thy works Lord, God, Almighty; just and true are all thy ways, thou king of saints." Such is the warm and elevated language of inspiration. Such are the sentiments of piety and love.
The existence of a Being infinitely good, wise and powerful, is so strikingly displayed on all the works of creation, that to doubt it shows ingratitude, to deny it, impiety. "Every thing giveth proof of God; every thing, that proveth it, giveth cause of adoration." Let the bold infidel attentively examine the beauty and grandeur of the universe; and consider the constitution of his own nature, fearfully and wonderfully made. Let him reflect on the revolutions of the seasons and the charming diversity, they afford. Let him contemplate the lively bloom of spring, the rich splendor of summer, the ripe luxuriance of autumn, and the hoary face of winter;
"Or look abroad through nature to the range of planets, suns, and adamant spheres, Wheeling unshaken thro' the void immense."
Will not the survey of scenes, so beautiful, so wonderful, so magnificent and sublime, teach him to confess the existence, admire the wisdom, adore the goodness, and revere the majesty of the Most High? Will it not dissipate the horrid gloom of his thoughts, and diffuse the holy light of religion over his mind? He, who will not be convinced by truths, so manifest and impressive,
"Is lost to virtue, lost to manly thought, Lost to the noble sallies of the soul."
He has perverted the gifts of nature, and degraded the dignity of humanity. He is unworthy to participate the blessings of social intercourse, or to enjoy the esteem of his fellow creatures. He should be considered as an alien to society, an enemy to man, and an object of contempt.
Although a clear evidence of divine perfection may be derived from examining the wonderful structure of the body, and the noble faculties of the soul; from contemplating the lower orders of creation, and the delightful varieties of the earth; yet when we raise our view, and survey "the spacious firmament on high," where
"Orbs wheel in orbs, round centres, centres roll;"
Our belief is strengthened, and our admiration is increased. We cannot but exclaim with the Psalmist, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy work." He, who can behold these splendid objects of almighty power with indifference, must either possess the coldness of infidelity, or, in the forcible language of our motto, must be mad.
In contemplating the heavens, there is a pleasure, which, to a pious and reflecting mind, is far more pure and sublime, than any other employment can afford. It is a pleasure; derived from the sweets and most refined affections of the heart; from the affections of love, gratitude and devotion.
At the solemn hour of night, when every breath is peace, and not a cloud obscures the serenity of the heavens, who can behold the "blue ethereal sky," spangled with innumerable stars,
"Forever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine."
without glowing with admiration for wonders so magnificent, without feeling adoration for their great Creator?
"There is a noble pathos in the skies," Which warms our passions, proselytes our hearts."
The mind is exalted by their majesty and enlightened by their splendor. Imagination is awakened; and while our eyes are elevated above the earth, we seem to approach nearer to the presence of that Almighty Being, "who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and meted out heaven
with a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance."
The public are respectfully informed that Mr. O'Kelly is expected to preach in the old Methodist meeting-house, on Sunday at 11 o'clock, in the forenoon—when other appointments will be made known.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU- FACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Ar- lington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a con- siderable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands. And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
