The Stages South of Alexandria. ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as fol- lows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia: Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning. Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account what- ever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger. An Accommodation Stage between Alex- andria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sun- days, and will travel only in the day time.— On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Staf- ford Court-House, and lodge at Frederick- burg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg. Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morn- ing, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria. The owners on this line too, have to re- quest that passengers will be a moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

From the thirteenth English edition, enlarg- ed and improved by the Author. Price handsomely bound and lettered, 1 dollar. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. " We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good inten- tions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. " The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with at- tention. The present edition of this excel- lent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804. " We have received the tenth and last edi- tion of this valuable work. The improve- ments made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this ac- count of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801. " On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, espe- cially to young readers, who love entertain- ment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
" The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exempli- fication of more than seventy remarkable char- acters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wander- ing; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

TO WILSON C. NICHOLAS, ESQ.
LETTER III.
SIR,
You seem to think that the president and our government, acted with great temper and moderation towards Great Britain—Why? Because during negotiations with that country, from which, judging from the dispositions of the Fox administration, and other circumstances, we expected great concessions, were suspended the operation of the non-importation act; of an act which though highly adverse to British interests, was not much less to our own. And is this, sir, the sole evidence of our pacific and friendly disposition towards Great Britain? Is this all we did to counteract the impressions which the British nation must have received from the non-importation act itself; from our refusal to ratify the treaty, without even submitting it to the consideration of the senate; and from the known anti-Britannic prejudices of our executive, and his friends? No, somewhat stronger evidence than this solitary act affords, must surely have been necessary to counterbalance the united weight of such considerations.
I might here endeavor to vindicate the treaty negotiated by Messrs. Monroe and Pinckney, if vindication were necessary, or if vindication the most complete, could avail. But surely, sir, it were waste of time, to attempt to make it palatable to you, and to those who think with you, and that "if Great Britain had thrown open all her ports in the East and West Indies, and in Europe, to our commerce, it (the treaty) ought to have been rejected." These few lines from the pen of the friend and confidant of the executive, and from the leader of the majority in congress, must prove to the world, and particularly to the British nation, that there is no hope of reconciliation with us; no hope, that by favors or concessions, they can conciliate our friendship, or moderate the bitterness of our hate; no hope, that by forbearance, they can mollify, or by submission appease us.
Yet what are the weighty considerations which would induce us, in despite of every concession that could be made to us, to reject the treaty? Were we in exchange called upon to surrender our sovereignty? No.—Were we to give them possession of some of our sea ports? No. Were we required to become their allies in the war? No.—Were we bound to confine our commerce to British countries? No. But Great Britain declared that the treaty should not prevent her from using retaliation for the French decree of blockade, unless France should either formally abandon, or tacitly relinquish her unjust pretensions; or the government of the U. States by its conduct or assurances, should give security to his majesty, that it would not submit to such innovations in the established system of maritime law.—And to what now, does this amount? It amounts to a declaration, that if we did not do what we were bound to do by every consideration of interest, of impartiality, and of national self respect; that if we permitted France to harass, and destroy British commerce in an oblique way, not having the power otherwise to effect her design; that Great Britain would not, in such case, resign the right of retaliation. But you affirm that this was forcing us into a war with France. I do not think so. I think it required us, as our duty to ourselves required, that we should do our utmost to induce France "formally to abandon, or tacitly to relinquish her unjust pretensions." And, if France obstinately or proudly continued to practice such gross and violent injustice towards us, ought we tamely to have submitted to it? Ought we to have quietly yielded to be made the instrument of France in the destruction of England, seeing moreover, that we ourselves were also the victims of our servile compliance?
You say that "more than a month before it was known in the United States that our trade with Great Britain was interdicted by France, the British orders of the 11th November issued." Strange indeed! The interdiction here spoken of took place the 21st November, 1806; yet this was not known, say you, in the United States for more than a month after the British orders dated the 11th November, 1807, issued.—I know that there was an unofficial declaration
made by France that her treaty with us should be respected. It was unofficial; because the minister that made it declared it to be so; and referred Mr. Armstrong to the prince of something as alone authorised to express the will of the French government on the subject; ought our government to have rested here? Did it not know, was it not told a thousand times, that France intended to gull us, that she only waited the fit, the propitious moment for to carry her decree into rigid execution? Were the circumstances of this affair unknown to G. Britain? Could she have any confidence in such an arrangement? An arrangement, which the event has since proved, was fallacious and delusive. The fact then is, sir, that Great Britain forbore retaliation for many months. She waited nearly a year, in the flattering but vain hope, that we would make some exertion worthy of us to vindicate our rights; or that we would at least do what it seems should have contented her, prevailed on France, "Tacitly to relinquish her unjust pretensions."
Will it still be said, as it has been said, that Great Britain offered to our government the alternative between the treaty and a war with France? Great Britain could not be very anxious to drag us into the war. She knew that we lay at so great a distance from the great field of action, that our war-like aid would be of small account. The only way, indeed, in which we could be useful to her was by continuing our reciprocally and advantageous commerce; this tended to brace her sinews, and this she was anxious to execute. But we too well knew this: we too well knew her necessities and distress; and we determined to bend her to our will, or to effect her ruin. Whether we shall effect either purpose, time only can discover. Great Britain is certainly powerful and magnanimous; but power and magnanimity may be overruled by physical causes. They may be crushed by innumerable foes, or may sink hopeless at last under the deprivations produced by the envious hate of nations basely conspiring in their own degradation.
I am, sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. B.

MADRID, August 24.
Yesterday arrived his excellency Don Francisco Xavier Castanos, with the van guard of the army. It is impossible to form an idea of the enthusiasm manifested by the people on that occasion, each vying with the other to express their admiration, gratitude and joy.
LERIDA, August 13.
We learn, that on the 6th and 7th inst. the French made a fresh attack upon Girona, but were repulsed with inexpressible valor by its inhabitants, who occasioned the enemy the loss of 13,000 men, carrying towards Perpignan 14 waggons of wounded; the miquelets and smugglers followed in pursuit, maintaining a well directed fire of musketry, which caused them much loss.
(Santiago Diary, Aug.)
LEON, August 22.
Yesterday orders were given to all the divisions of Galicia to assemble in that city on the 1st September and for the whole army to march the following day to Burgos; the French are in number from 35 to 40,000 men; the army of Galicia about 40,000 and that of Asturias will amount to 30,000. It is to be observed, that on the day of attack, of which day we are ignorant, though the 7th September is named, the greater part of our armies will join, in order to attack the French in different points, and surround them; the army of Spain, which will enter into action in conjunction with our allies, will amount to 70,000 men; consequently we expect that not a single Frenchman will escape out of Spain.
SALAMANCA, August 20.
The British general Doyle and our inestimable duke Del Infantado, arrived yesterday in this city, and have set out for Alva de Fornes, where gen. Cuesta has his head quarters.
GUIJON, September 8.
A gentleman has arrived here this instant from Santander, with an account of a victory gained over a body of French troops, near Pampeluna, by Palafox, who were defeated with the loss of 5000 killed and 1000 made prisoners. It is said that Palafox known general Blake was so nigh, he would have entered Pampeluna.
OVIEDO, Aug. 20.
The known perfidy of the French government, and the peculiar circumstances which rendered suspicious the arrival in this city of the Count del Pitiar, of the council of Castile, Don J. M. Valdes, Fiscal, &c. the Brigadiers John J. C. De la Lave, Commandant of the coast of Cantabria, Don M. L. De Guevera, Commandant of the squadron of the Royal Carabineers, and Don Carlos Fitzgerald, Col. of the Irish regiment, caused the Supreme Junta to order their imprisonment in the royal Castle. On the examination of their papers, and after a judicial examination of their conduct, they have been declared free from every imputation cast upon them.
Copy of a letter from don Pedro Cevallos, on resigning the office of Minister, to which he was nominated by Joseph Napoleon.
SIR,
"When your majesty had the goodness to continue me in the office of minister of foreign affairs, I thought myself obliged to make some remarks, on account of which your majesty could not have less confidence in me, nor I be less secure of the protection of your majesty; conceiving myself, as I do, jealously watched and affronted by the Emperor, your majesty's august brother, whose influence over the mind of your majesty is, I fear, by no means favorable to me.
"Your majesty persisted in your resolution, saying, that you wished to have at your side persons who possessed the confidence of the nation. As I desired nothing so ardently as to return to my beloved country, which had been denied me during two months, notwithstanding my earnest requests to the Emperor, I was forced to yield to the nomination, in order to put a period to my melancholy separation from my family and country; reserving to myself the right of conforming to the will of the nation, in case it should not be disposed to recognise your majesty as sovereign.
"I have shown your majesty that Spain has almost unanimously refused to recognise you as monarch; and wanting this title, there remains none by which you can be the sovereign of these kingdoms. I should, therefore, have been guilty of treason against my principles had I continued to exercise my ministry under such circumstances. I desire no longer to retain any influence in the government, but instantly to go into retirement, and there devote my tears and my prayers in behalf of a noble, loyal and brave people, whose evils I wished to remedy."
The Austrian and Russian ministers at Madrid have their dispatches forwarded by the Paulotic Junta.
Tudela, in Spain, 45 miles from Saragossa, was evacuated by the French August 18th.
British and Spanish troops have taken the castle of Mongat, with its French garrison.
The French have published an official account of the "campaign in Spain." They have smoothed over every thing as well as they possibly could. Dupont's troops are acknowledged at 20,000. He is pronounced unfit to command an army, or to negotiate a capitulation. The account states that king Joseph left Madrid on account of the heat of the weather, to concentrate his forces at Burgos, where he was August 22, and that the French held Saragossa and Barcelona.
Dupont may rejoice at his being detained in Spain.
French papers say, Austria and Russia have recognised king Joseph.
ENGLAND.
LONDON, Sept. 15.
Official accounts have been received of the capture of Junot's army and the Russian fleet at Lisbon. The whole number of vessels taken, including some French frigates, is 27. The soldiers, it is said, are to be returned to France, without a stipulation that they shall not serve again. The Russian sailors to be sent home—and their ships to be restored six months after peace. The terms with the fleet may arise from a wish to conciliate the Russians. The conditions however with them and the French are not relished in London.
It is reported that sir Hugh Dalrymple is to be recalled, and that a fast sailing vessel is to be dispatched, to prevent the execution of the convention, but this is probably thrown out to reconcile the public to the result.
Sir A. Wellesley is mentioned as being extremely dissatisfied with the proceedings which have taken place in Portugal, since he was superseded in the command, and it has been said even that he was about to return home in disgust.
The Moniteur has at length been obliged to notice what could be no longer concealed from the eyes of all Europe with regard to the political state of affairs between Austria and France, and to impress upon the minds of the people, that the Spanish ports must ultimately be subdued, though in the first instance the apprehensions of the French government itself is abundantly manifested by the observation, that no doubt can be entertained of the ability of France and her allies, to make war against Austria and Spain; though, in the very same breath, we are told there never was a more amicable understanding than that which exists in the present moment with Austria.
Meanwhile the French and Austrian preparations for war seem to keep full pace with each other.
The French statement says, the French general Duheame re-occupied Barcelona—it adds, that the rising in Bilboa had been suppressed.
Advices have been received from Compostela, to the 6th inst. We understand they state that the French have retreated from Burgos. General Blake had broken up from Astorga, and advanced as far as Rio Sequillo, on his march to Burgos. General Castanos, was approaching, with a considerable force. These movements hastened the departure of the French from Burgos.
The Spanish Grandee, Jovallanos, refused to accept an office under Joseph Bonaparte; and is said to be in favor of the patriots.
The American brig General Armstrong, captain Sinclair lying at the Motherbank, Portsmouth, waiting convoy for the Mediterranean, was on Monday night struck by lightning, which shivered her mainmast and topgallantmast to pieces.
At 4 o'clock this morning, Capt. Evans arrived at the Admiralty with dispatches from Sir J. Saumarez. We understand they state, that at the departure of Captain Evans, the Russian and English fleets in the Baltic were in sight of each other.—Another officer is hourly expected with an account of an action.
Captain Garnier, of the French privateer Foudroyant, sent into Portsmouth by the Linnet , says, there are few French privateers now in the channel, an astonishing number having sailed from all the ports in France, with provisions for the supply of Guadalupe. He left St. Maloes about ten days since. So ignorant are the people of France kept of the transactions of their country, that he would not believe, when told, that Bonaparte's intention in Spain had been defeated by the Spanish people, and that they had beaten the French troops. He said they had learnt there had been insurrections in one or two places, but Bonaparte had quelled them! When the English newspapers, which contain the summary of the French squadron, were shown him, his incredulity in a degree forsook him. This disbelief equally prevailed as to our success at Lisbon, among the prisoners at this port, till the prisoners which arrived from Junot's army yesterday midnight, related their adventures to them.

PHILADELPHIA, October 22.
Yesterday arrived schooner Fair Lady, Blake, 40 days from Falmouth, Jam. On the 17th of September, off False Cape, near Cape Antonio, spoke schooner Publican, Parsons, of and from Grand Caymanas, out 21 days, who 7 days before had carried away her mainmast, and was in want of provisions and water, which captain Blake furnished what he could spare—on the 6th of October, in lat. 32 22, long. 77 30, spoke the Swedish brig Mary, Hanse Linden, from Turks Island for Philadelphia, to whom captain Blake returns his thanks for a supply of provisions and water, and is sorry to hear from the pilots off our capes, that the Mary has since run on shore at Chincoteague beach, having 4 feet water in her hold—captain Blake a few days since had a hard gale of wind, after coming to anchor under the Capes, in which he lost three anchors and was obliged to stand out to sea again, until the weather moderated.
The Falmouth Mercury of the 24th Aug. received by the above arrival, contains the following article:
"The favorable rains have had very beneficial effects on the provisions, in bringing forward a plentiful supply, and affording an opportunity of planting an increased quantity, at a time too when our American supplies of every kind are nearly exhausted."
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25.
The following Gentlemen will be supported at the next election for twelve Directors in the Bank of Potomac:
Thomas Vowell, James Patton, Jacob Hoffman, Daniel M'Clean, William Hartshorn, Gullibert Powell, James H. Hoge, Robert Anderson, John Young, James Keith, John Roberts, George Taylor.
About the 10th of March last, the ship Ophelia, capt. Dunnette, which sailed from Bristol (Eng.) for New York, was met at sea by a French ship of war and BURNT. [N. Y. paper.]
VERMONT.
We have at length pretty correct information of the result of the late election in Vermont. His excellency ISAAC TICHENOR is elected governor of the state, by a majority of 816 over gov. SMITH, the democratic candidate; and 437 over all the votes. HON. PAUL BRIGHAM (demo) Lt. Governor. BENJAMIN SWAN, Esq. (fed.) Treasurer. HON. ELIAS KEYS, CHAUNCEY LANGDON, DANIEL CHIPMAN, SOLOMON MILLER, ZERAH WILLOUBY, SAMUEL FLETCHER, REUBEN HATCH, JEDEDIAH P. BUCKINGHAM, ASA LYON, DANIEL DANA, JOHN ELSWORTH, and NOAH CHITTENDEN, counsellors. [Those gentlemen composed the federal ticket for counsellors.] DUDLEY CHASE, esq. (demo.) was elected Speaker of the House, by a majority of 3. General Morris was absent, from sickness. Four of the counsellors were elected members of the house, and voted in the choice of Speaker. THOMAS LEVERETT, esq. (demo.) secretary of state. [Boston Centinel.]
FURTHER:
We have been assured, that the above statement is not fully correct. A gentleman in this town, has a letter from his friend in
Montpelier, stating, "That the choice of Mr. Chace, as speaker pro tem. was a circumstance of accommodation: and that there were but 3 or 4 democratic majority then in the house—that there were also four federal members absent." It also adds, "that the four counsellors who voted in the house were appointed members of that branch, as well as counsellors, the latter appointment being made by a general ticket; that they would of course resign their seats in the house and go into the Council; when precepts would be issued to the several towns from whence they were sent for making a new choice; and that the new members would probably be returned in about a week or ten days. This is the real state of our affairs, and you may rest assured that it promises success."
[Bost. Gaz.]
From a London Paper.
There is something remarkable in the names of the vessels which the Americans send to Europe on their state missions. It has already been remarked, in an American paper, that the rejection of the treaty of commerce was brought to England by the Wasp, but the tribute money to France by the Bee. After that time they sent us an angry message by the Hornet. After the disagreeable business of the Chesapeake frigate, they sent the Revenge to demand satisfaction. We hear now that they are beginning to use vessels of milder and more conciliating names, and that it is the Hope which is coming to Europe to endeavor to arrange matters with this country & France. [In addition to the above the Union is now on her way to Europe with dispatches. Gaz. U. S.]
New mode of Cheating.—The Portland, (Maine) Gazette, says, "A rock weighing 75 lbs. was found in a bale of cotton which weighed 268 lbs. The cotton was imported from a Southern port to this place, and was taken out of the middle of the bale in presence of several gentlemen who all attested to the fact. We hope our Southern brethren will not in future be quite so free in their slurs about "Yankee trick."
