Boot and Shoe Manufactory.  SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quan- tity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Seal and other Leather here—good workmanship —great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred fore- man—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnish- ed and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom.
He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an al- lowance made for that which is not; but the greatly en- creased price of all the materials, and the high price of la- bour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the same work generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibili- ty of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Heels, where gen- tlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of get- ting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE  For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run. April 15.

Boston, April 13. Yesterday arrived at this port the British ship Alexander, 35 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to the 26th February.
LONDON, February 28. By a telegraphic order issued yesterday, all the line of battle ships in the Downs were ordered to sail for Plymouth as soon as possible. On Saturday an order was received at Plymouth to send all the line of battle ships to sea directly; and yesterday the Centaur, Alfred, and St. Albans, sailed from Portsmouth to join Sir Richard Strachan off Rochefort, it being not improbable that the British fleet may be destined in the first instance to Rochefort, to get out the squadron lying in that harbour. But we hope that Lord Gambier will be able to prevent their reaching any port, except a British one as prizes.
There was not the least delay in communicating the intelligence of the sailing of the British fleet to Lord Gambier. Three frigates were left off Brest at the time that the fleet under Lord Gambier were obliged to relinquish their station and bear up for Torbay. These frigates informed Lord Gambier of the sailing of the fleet; they also spoke his majesty's ship Nassau and the Cuffnell's Indians, and gave them the information of the fleet having put to sea.
THE FRENCH QUITTING SPAIN.
French papers were yesterday received, which were brought by some vessels, the masters of which had either bribed, or eluded the vigilance of the custom-house officers in the French ports.
Some private accounts state, that Joseph Buonaparte, and the whole of the French troops at Madrid, were preparing to depart from that city. Marshal Lannes having received positive orders from Napoleon to march the whole of the troops under his command back to France.
We have observed, with pleasure, one or two traits in the German papers, which shew, that as soon as the French troops abandoned any spot, the ancient spirit manifests itself.
AUSTRIA RISING.
We begin to think that there is some truth in the accounts that have been received from various quarters of war having broken out, or being on the point of breaking out between Austria and France. Indeed the disbelief with which the accounts have been held, has arisen, not from any conviction that the moment was unfavourable for so vigorous a step on the part of Austria, but from the recollection that she has let slip opportunities of action almost, if not quite, as favourable. But cabinets are not always to continue impolitic or weak; and it may be that Austria had not during the Prussian war, sufficiently recovered or recruited her military strength after the fatal battle of Austerlitz. We understand, however, that her army is now complete, and that there is besides a very large Hungarian levy, as a corps de reserve. Grown wiser too by dear bought experience, we may hope that she will not fall into the same errors, which she committed in the last war; that we shall see no more Maeks, and that an Aulic Council of war will no longer retard or paralyze the military operations. At the present moment Buonaparte has no force in Germany capable of coping with Austria, and the latter could if she pleased advance at once, to the Rhine.
The French armies must be drawn from Spain and be made to traverse France, and the magazines on the Rhine which were emptied to supply the troops in Spain, must be completed, before Buonaparte could carry on the war with his whole force. The effect produced upon Spain by the renewal of hostilities in Germany, would be infinitely beneficial to the patriot cause. The patriots would have time to raise, and discipline men, to receive supplies of all kinds, to make depots, to choose positions, and to establish a more intimate co-operation and concert than they have yet been able to do.
Government, we understand, have received advice from the continent, which satisfactorily account for Buonaparte's sudden retreat to Paris. The following is, we believe, the substance of the intelligence thus communicated.
In December last the Austrian cabinet sent a confidential mission to St. Petersburg, with a view of exposing to the emperor Alexander the extravagant and dangerous ambition of Buonaparte, the injustice of his conduct in Spain, and the necessity he had imposed on the cabinets of Russia and Austria to unite for their mutual protection. The emperor, at the same time, made a frank communication of the measures he had adopted to meet the war which he despaired of being able to avert, and he invited the emperor Alexander to enter into such arrangements as might be necessary to oppose a barrier to the overwhelming tyranny of France.
This overture the emperor Alexander immediately communicated to Buonaparte in Spain, and to this circumstance his hasty and unlooked-for return to Paris is imputed.
We further learn, that the intentions of Austria, the hopes of Prussia, and the politics of Russia, have been exposed to France, by the interception of a letter from the Queen of Prussia to her father the duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. From the reports which have reached us, it appears that the suspicions of the French ambassador Caulaincourt had been excited by the frequent interviews which the Prussian minister of state Baron Scladen, (who had attended these majesties to Petersburg,) had had with the Austrian embassy, and that he had caused a Prussian officer of the name of Bruyer, who was entrusted with dispatches for Berlin, &c. to be followed, and it is said, murdered and his papers secured. Amongst these, was the letter from the queen to her father, expressive of her hopes, that the war which Austria was about to wage, in which Alexander had been strongly, although hitherto unsuccessfully urged to join, would tend to restore her husband to his former rank in Europe. The emperor Alexander is represented as being pleased with the preparations of Austria, and to be restrained from joining in them, rather through fear of Buonaparte than from friendship to him. The situation of affairs in Spain is mentioned as being favourable to the intended operations of Austria, which, it is added, would develop themselves early in the Spring.
The Prussian army comprises 40,000 effective men of which 3000 were cavalry, and 26,000 infantry with the rest artillery, guards, &c.
Reports of an approaching war between France and Austria were in general circulation in the north. The French army, under the orders of the duke of Auerstadt, which was cantoned in Hanover, Hesse, &c. was in motion, and the Danish paper, "The Dagen," of the 5th inst. observes that the Prince of Ponte Corvo had received dispatches from France, which had occasioned particular sensation at Hamburg. The same paper, however, contains an extract from the Westphalian Official Gazette , contradicting the report of an intended augmentation of that army, or an immediate movement of it.
We mentioned in our last number, that the Austrian government was forming large stores of grain from the neighbouring states, particularly from Russia. The foreign journals which have since reached us, contain numberless paragraphs on the same subject.
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
Spanish and Portuguese papers to late dates have come to hand. The extracts we have made will be read with considerable interest. They show that the enthusiasm of both nations remained unabated,
and were likely to oppose considerable difficulties to the progress of the conqueror.
It is said that accounts have been received by the Spanish ambassador, of another engagement in Aragon. The letter with the particulars, is, we understand, dated the 27th ult. The action was in the immediate vicinity of Saragossa.
The patriots were, after a severe conflict victorious, and the bodies of 7000 Frenchmen whitened the field of battle.
A vessel has arrived at Dublin, which sailed from the Tagus on the 5th inst. and at that time, no authentic account of any inroad of the French into Portugal, had reached Lisbon.
An extract of a private letter from Chasses, dated Feb. 1, says: "Within these few days, gen. Blake, with a small corps, and his military chest, entered this place, on his march into the interior of the province."
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, Feb. 16.— "The enthusiasm prevailing throughout Portugal, is beyond description. Every man, old and young, is anxious to be enrolled to fight in his country's cause. Messrs. Caldas and Frans. A. Machado, merchants of this city, have organized two regiments, one of cavalry, the other of infantry, paid, clothed, and accoutred at the expense of the individuals enrolled in them."
Two gentlemen who escaped from Holland in a pilot boat, reached town yesterday. It is said, that before they sailed, two French bulletins, of later date than the 30th were published in the Dutch papers. The 32d bulletin, it is reported, states that Saragossa had surrendered to the French besieging army.
The Oviedo Gazettes received yesterday, contain an animated proclamation from colonel Carroll, whose successful exertions in keeping up the spirit and vigour of the Asturians, in the midst of successful enemies, cannot be too much admired. All the men, from 18 to 45, are in arms. Colonel Carroll's letters mention the various reports of great successes obtained by the patriots in other parts of Spain; but he was a ware how little these reports were to be relied upon.
French and Dutch papers to the 10th inst. have been received. The most important intelligence they convey, is the arrival of Buonaparte at Paris, about the 20th ult. No reason is assigned for his sudden return; but it is by no means improbable, that his abrupt departure from Spain, where his presence was so necessary for carrying into complete execution the plan for subjugating that country, has been owing to the hostile attitude of Austria, and his perseverance in the organization of the military levies.
Various substitutes are now used on the continent for tobacco, the price of which has risen to such degree as to place that article beyond the reach of the generality of persons. We observe in the Drontheim Gazette a recipe for smoking cherry leaves as a succedaneum for tobacco.
Sugar was selling at St. Petersburg, at the beginning of the last month, at the rate of five shillings, British, per pound. Coffee was rather cheaper.
The banking house of John Baptiste Bonvand, at Augsbourg, failed some time since, for nearly a million and a half of florins.
PARIS, Jan. 29.
The measures taken to raise the conscription of 1810, which were adopted at the beginning of the month, have already been carried into effect through the whole empire.
A report was in circulation on Thursday, that offers of pacification had been made by the court of St. Petersburg.
His majesty the emperor and king, repaired yesterday to the Opera. His entrance into the Hall occasioned a burst of enthusiasm, which expressed itself by the loudest shouts and acclamations of Vive l'Empereur!
The Imperial Guard is expected back from Spain. It is believed that it will arrive here in the course of the following month.
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
CADIZ, February 28.
EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE OF THE GOVERNMENT.
TUESDAY, Feb. 21.
The Marquis de la Romana informs, in a letter of the 12th of this month, that the inhabitants of the Barco de Valdeorras, irritated at seeing the equipage of a French general pass through their territory, assembled, and attacked a detachment of 168 dragoons which escorted it, killed 49, and made 19 prisoners, taking possession of every thing they were conveying; that for that reason the inhabitants of the whole district of Valdeorras had assembled and armed themselves, resolved to oppose the enemy, if they should come to chastise them; and that their example would certainly be imitated by others, which promised the most favourable consequences.
He adds, that the soldiers who had been dispersed, were continually returning to their respective corps, and fresh volunteers joining the army, so that he has no doubt but that in the course of the present month his force will be considerably augmented, as the natives of the kingdom of Galicia, now that they experience more sensibly the evils that the enemy occasions, are in a state of insurrection, with which reinforcements, and the assistance which he expects from Portugal, Romana trusts that the enemy will repent of having penetrated into Galicia.
Spaniards—Our enemies have profited nothing by that manoeuvre; scattered over that immense country, they have formed their grave. The people of Galicia were deceived, but their eyes are now opened; thus it happens to all, who deceived by their deceitful offers, have had the weakness to receive them; but there is not one who, if he has endured them once, does not resist them a second time; a thousand examples might be cited of this truth, and a thousand others to shew that they have conquered none who have boldly opposed them. Courage, Spaniards, courage, and we are invincible; death is more certain in flight than in resistance, and death is better than the slavery to which the French want to reduce us. Europe has her eyes upon us; let us not disappoint her hopes nor the efforts which the nations are about to make in our favor. Courage and patience for a little time and we are safe.
Don Egregorio de la Cuesta writes on the 17th, that the enemy, who had advanced over the bridge of the archbishop, as far as the Mesa de Ibor, had retreated that morning towards the same bridge, leaving behind some muskets; and that at five in the afternoon, on the same day, they had also withdrawn towards the village of Almaraz, the pieces of cannon which they had on the other end of the bridge.
PROCLAMATION.
Our lord the king Don Ferdinand VII. and in his royal name, Don Felix Ibanez, field Marshal of the royal armies, and governor pro tempore of this kingdom, &c.
In consequence of the discontent and commotions which have taken place in this city, whose inhabitants have requested various things which they consider useful and necessary to their private and public security, and to the exercise of their liberty and of the national independence; and considering their loyalty and patriotism at all times, and particularly at present, as also the signal and important services which they have performed, and are now performing in favor of the just cause which they defend at the hazard of their lives and fortunes, it is made known as follows:
1. That the said governor, with the advice and concurrence of the most reverend father guardian of Capuchins, has resolved, at the petition and request of the people, to remove from their present situations and employments, Don Josef and Don Manuel de Heredia, the licentiate Don Josef de Castro Cubillas, and Don Juan de Dios de la Rosa; and if the people desire the suppression of the junta of government, on expressing their wish without disorders or riots, through their representative the Syndic, it shall instantly be done.
2. That the most vigilant endeavours shall be used for the discovery of traitors, in order to avoid the danger of collision with the enemy. That all personal injuries shall be redressed, and that every thing shall be provided for the defence of this place by its inhabitants or by national troops, without admittance of any foreign troops whatsoever.
3. That for the greater satisfaction of the publick, able officers of the corps of artillery and engineers of the British nation, our close and faithful ally, who so zealously assists us, shall be invited, for the purpose of examining and surveying the fortifications of this place and its dependencies, and shall be consulted in every thing relating to its defence.
4. That whereas the people of Cadiz, dissatisfied with his excellency the marquis de Villel, a member of the central junta, and its representative in this city, did, yesterday the 22d inst. arrest and confine him in the monastery of the reverend father Capuchin's, and earnestly request an examination of his papers, it has been determined to do so, and that a legal investigation shall take place.
5. That as the publick discontent appears to arise in a great measure from the reserve with which intelligence of publick events has hitherto been communicated, measures shall be taken to satisfy the people on that subject by announcing whatever may occur with the greatest punctuality and attention.
6. And lastly, that the enlistment of the inhabitants in the provincial regiment of Ciudad Rodrigo shall cease, until, after consulting the supreme authority, suitable measures are taken to garrison and defend this place; for which purpose the distinguished volunteers, the light troops, and companies of artillery, shall remain and shall not leave it, declaring that the reports spread by malevolence that is intended to disarm them, or to send them to the army, are absolutely false.
And that this may be known to and satisfy the publick, and that the confidence due to the authorities may be restored, and all disturbance cease, and tranquility reign, without which the laws cannot govern, it is ordered that these presents be posted up in Cadiz, this 23d February, 1809.

BALTIMORE, April 19.
It may be proper to correct the mistake, that a minister from the Spanish Junta had arrived at New-York in the British packet, as mentioned in the papers of that city. We learn, that one of the Spanish consuls, who returned in the packet, has been mistaken for a minister.
In 426 towns Mr. Gore has gained 5773 votes. Mr. Lincoln will therefore be in the vocative about 3500 votes.
THE WAR IN PHILADELPHIA.
Is drawing to a close. Gen. Bright has returned from Lancaster, and removed the guards from Fort Rittenhouse. The chief justice is to give his decision on this day on the habeas corpus to bring up Mrs. Sargeant. It is supposed, that if he shall decide the marshal's arrest to be valid, the money will be paid by order of governor Snyder.
Extract of a letter to the editor from an highly respectable gentleman, dated "Shepherd's Town, April 12th.
"I have the pleasure to announce to you the triumph of Federalism over Democracy in this county. And we have no doubt that an overwhelming majority will take place in this district for a member of congress, and the state legislature. Flattering accounts are received from all the districts back to the Ohio. We expect three federal members from that quarter."
From the Hampshire Federalist.
GEN. EATON'S SPEECH, Delivered in town meeting at Brimfield, April 3d, 1809.
Give me leave, Mr. Moderator, to read an extract from a copy of a letter which appears in the National Register of March 29th, said to be addressed to Messrs. Daniel Wright & Erasmus Lyman of Northampton, signed John Adams—viz—"I always considered the whole nation my children—but they have almost been all unfaithful to me—You two gentlemen are almost the only ones out of my own house, who have for a long time, and I thank you for it, expressed a filial affection for me."
"JOHN ADAMS."
If this letter had been signed John Quincy Adams, I should not doubt its authenticity; as it is, I have doubts. But whether real or fabricated by forgery, it displays equal vanity in the author, and in the two gentlemen to whom it is said to be addressed.—What! have we but two gentlemen left in our nation faithful to the principles of a venerable revolutionary patriot? Revolutionary Patriot! On no other grounds can Mr. Adams claim filial affection from fair Americans; for, it is to be presumed, that out of his family, he would have too much respect for the reputation of the mothers of the gentlemen he here compliments, to mean any thing else by the term children, than politically made his. But his political children were all federal. These, therefore, must be illegitimate.
The colloquy between Mr. Adams, when agent at Holland, and visitor at Paris, and Diodati, Ambassador for the Elector of Saxony, is too ridiculous to merit its signature; and of course requires no comment. It is passing ridiculous to hear these, his children, agents of a political party, now hallelujahing the man by the epithet, "venerable revolutionary patriot," whom eight years ago, they denounced, for the same purposes, "a hoary headed incendiary."
There are indeed sentiments in the letter, ascribed to Mr. Adams, worthy an American. It opposes war with France, and war generally—it opposes a dismemberment of the union. All that is christian; and, as it respects us, good national policy. We can have no benefit from war, if we can maintain honourable peace. The God of nature has given us too much to make it necessary that we should seek wealth in slaughter of men; it is better policy to cultivate them. But, if pressed into war by the two mighty belligerents, I would rather league with England than France. France, did I say! There is no France. All which was, has become Corsican; and the little charity-school tyrant, who now leads Frenchmen to death, and who has made a Golgotha of all Europe, will by and by, leave as many petit tyrants on that devoted continent as he has brothers, cousins, bastards and generals. Like "Macedonia's madman" overrun the world, and leave that world to repair the injuries of his ambition. Since I saw his footsteps in Egypt I have hated Buonaparte. He wrested jewels from ladies' fingers; slaughtered prisoners disarmed; and prescribed arsenick for his own wounded soldiers. Subsequent events have
confirmed me in the opinion I there imbibed concerning him. Has he not wantonly burnt and sunk our ships when pursuing a lawful commerce? It is matter of indifference with him, whether he use treachery, steel, poison, fire or water, to bring him to universal empire.
But, to our subject—who is to be governor of Massachusetts? The competitors are the hon. Mr. Gore, and his honour Mr. Lincoln. I don't like either of them—Gore is too lofty, and Lincoln too servile—I would rather have a Strong, or an Otis. But as we have only an alternative, I am for Gore. The latter is neither a coward nor a sycophant. He has manfully supported our interests abroad, and done much to promote the wealth and prosperity of our country at home. He is accused of speculating on speculated on the doubtful credit of this country. So did every man at that time who had the means of speculating. He is charged of being the son of a toady; what if he were the son of a Musselman? He proved—your fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." "By their fruits ye shall know them. Mr. Gore has always eminently defended the rights of commerce and New-England states. Mr. Lincoln! What good thing has he done? While attorney general of the United States, in prosecuting a cause at Washington in pursuance of his official duty, he arose to the court and said—hem—and sat down and said, hem: That's all. I never knew any other great publick act of his. I was present at this exhibition of talents; and blushed for Massachusetts: Southern gentlemen laughed. Mr. Attorney Lincoln was superceded in office, or resigned for shame; I cannot affirm which; came home, has since been made vice-governor—sanctioned the enforcing embargo law, and ordered detachments of militia to enforce the measure without counsel and without the concurrence of the people over whom he accidentally presides. To amuse and cajole an honest populace he now talks of religion, violations of sabbaths, and other things. A lawyer talk of religion! Think rather of repentance. Let me ask that sanctified lieutenant governor if he always dined at home on Sundays when dreaming on his duty at Washington? If Gore has gone beyond a Sabbath's day's journey in his exercises, and infringed a statute law—Lincoln has more often, on the same day, committed sacrilege by worshipping an idol, at whose table he drank burgundy, and at whose table he received a tythe. I hate religious hypocrisy, sir, and will leave the disgusting subject to religious hypocrites. To the enforcing embargo law of January 9, 1809—it says our liberties—He, who tamely yields to it, must according to my understanding of it be a dependent on office givers and a political apostate. It yields to the control of an individual all that we, as republicans, ever contended for; and sets us down the drooping victims of our own misled confidence—the workmen and signers of our own destruction.
The late hon. John Quincy Adams approves of embargo laws and their privations; so he did approve of our inglorious treaty with Tripoli; I can account for his conduct in both these cases. Lear the negotiator of that treaty, betrayed his old master Washington. Jefferson profited of his treachery and rewarded his mission by a lucrative appointment; and though dissatisfied with the conditions of peace he durst not bring the negotiator to an enquiry lest he himself should in turn be betrayed: for he has philosophy to discern that the man who sells himself once may always be bought. The report of the transactions and issue of the war were correctly brought home. The people of the United States were universally dissatisfied with the premature treaty; Mr. Jefferson seemed to have the same sensibility for the honour of the American flag. A committee of the Senate was appointed to enquire, investigate and report on facts; did they report—and in terms which do them honour, condemned the negotiation in toto . Mr. Jefferson feared to call the man to his responsibility, whom he had once corrupted. Lear must consequently be kept in the back ground. The honourable John Quincy Adams, appeared on the floor of the senate chamber as the champion of this patriot of cowardice, duplicity and treachery—cast a stigma on the few starved Americans who had fought the decisive battles of the war; passed eulogiums on Lear who had made you tributary to a conquered barbarian; and denounced in philippics the only man who had received a wound in the expedition of 1805. All this patriotism and honesty from the honourable John Quincy Adams because he had received the promise of an appointment as minister plenipotentiary to Constantinople: but it was finally decided that no ambassador, at that time, near the Grand Seignor, was necessary. Adams, the younger (for I would always make discrimination between him and the venerable Revolutionary Patriot ) converted by ambition and hope from a thorough going federalist to a courtly democrat, stood on in expectation of a commission somewhere; approves embargo; denounces as vassals better men than ever came from his father's loins; and receives a nomination as minister plenipotentiary to the court of St. Petersburg; the event has been the same, through more formal, as the mention of him to the sublime Porte. If John Q. Adams, therefore, be legitimate, i. e. not out of the family, I would discard the race; they can have no influence here.
Much has been said and printed against Mr. Pickering; and much argument drawn reproachful to his name, from the circumstance of his being dismissed from the department of state. I know that senator well; he is just. And Aristides will be Aristides still. The cause of his dismissal was not political. As no cause has ever been offered the nation, we have a right to conjecture. It is more than conjecturable that his opposition to the appointment of col. Smith, son-in-law to the then President, to the high rank and important trust of Brigadier General and Adjutant and Inspector General of the provisional army of eighty thousand, provoked that hasty act of Mr. Adams. Col. Pickering had served with Mr. Smith. Though Mr. Pickering has too much independence of soul to give this explanation, it cannot be controverted. If these facts be true; and I believe them such, we cannot infer from them, that admitting the letter from which I have taken my quotation to be a true copy of its original, we ought to let it lie on the table.
It is matter of much regret that we, as a people, should fix our political reliance on men, and not on measures. But, unhappily, this I fear, has become almost a necessary situation; and I must take my part in it. I shall confidently give my vote to Mr. Gore; believing him the most independent republican of the two candidates held out here for our suffrages. I shall give my vote generally for the federal republican ticket. For I have belief, that if this ticket succeed, we shall have less of political concealment; less of political hypocrisy; less of political swindling; and more of broad day political truth and honesty, than we should by supporting the ticket which is intended to support Mr. Lincoln.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1809.
At a numerous meeting of the Merchants and Merchants, and other Citizens of the Borough of Norfolk, convened at Maingne's Garden's, on the 22d day of April, 1809.
JOHN GRANBERRY was unanimously chosen Chairman, and JAMES TAYLOR, JUN. Secretary.
On motion made and seconded, the following Resolutions were handed to the Chair, when being read, and the question taken on each Resolution—
Resolved unanimously, As the opinion of this meeting, that in the present situation of the United States, threatened as they are by foreign aggression, and intestine commotion, it is essentially necessary to the happiness, peace and honour of the country, that all party distinctions should be forgotten; and that merit be the sole standard by which the pretensions of different candidates for publick appointment should be tried.
Resolved unanimously, That the individuals composing this meeting, influenced by this consideration, and having long known and admired the firmness, independence, and talents of ROBERT B. TAYLOR (a true American both by birth and principle) will support his election on Monday next, not only by their votes, but by all the honourable means in their power.
Resolved unanimously, That whatever may be the event of the election, the members of this meeting, will never cease to remember with gratitude, the patriotick conduct of ROBERT B. TAYLOR, who forgetting all private and personal considerations, has yielded to the wishes of the people, and has proved himself willing to sustain great sacrifices to promote the interest of his country—Such conduct deserves, and must receive the plaudits of freemen, when party dissensions shall permit worth and patriotism to be seen through a proper medium.
Resolved unanimously, That JAMES WALKER MURDAUGH by his independence, firmness, zeal, and talents, merits and shall receive the support of the members of this meeting at the election on Monday next for the senator for this district.
Resolved unanimously, That WILLIAM MAXWELL shall also be supported by the members of this meeting at the election on Monday next as a delegate from this Borough in the General Assembly.
Resolved unanimously, That notwithstanding these resolutions are expressive of the opinions of this meeting, yet, as in a republican government it is inconsistent with the rights of the citizen, to bind him to give any other vote than that which his own judgment dictates, no person here present shall be considered as pledged to give any other suffrage at the approaching election, than that which he may then approve.
Resolved unanimously, That these Resolutions be inserted in both the Gazettes published in this Borough, and in Handbills to be distributed among the Citizens.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman and Secretary for the manner in which they have discharged their duties upon this occasion.

We had not known until yesterday, that besides Messrs. Taylor, Eyre, Breckenridge, Swoope, Stephenson, and Lewis, the federal candidates for congress, that there was a federal candidate for the Monongalia district, composed of the counties of Monongalia, Brooke, Ohio, Harrison, Wood, and Randolph. We know so little of the politics of these counties, as not to be able to form any idea of what will be the result of the election. Mr. Jackson, we understand, had expected a considerable majority in Ohio.
The important correspondence between Mr. Secretary Smith, and his Britannick majesty's Minister, near the United States, were given in a supplement of last evening.
Upon the prospect which is now before us, we do most sincerely congratulate our readers; the prospect of seeing the political relations of the country placed on a more permanent footing, is a circumstance which cannot fail to produce satisfaction to every real friend of the country. Thanks are due to those men, who by their votes in Congress, saved the country from the horrors of war. To the federalists, and the republican minority of the last congress we are indebted for the blessings of peace with Great Britain. Experience has demonstrated to both nations, the importance of a friendly understanding, and will, it is to be hoped, defeat the machinations of foreign and domestic intrigue when exerted upon future occasions to plunge the two nations into war.
These friendly arrangements may, and no doubt will give offence to the Emperor Napoleon, but we have nothing to fear from him. The affairs of Europe will be sufficient to engage his attention, if we can place any confidence in the intelligence from Europe.
We invite our readers to the perusal of the Speech of GENERAL EATON, as containing some matters of interest.
IMPORTANT.
WASHINGTON, April 19. Mr. Smith, secretary of state, and Mr. Erskine, the British minister, have been, we understand, every day engaged in discussions in relation to the two points of difference between the United States and Great Britain, which it seems, Mr. Erskine has been authorised to arrange in virtue of powers received from his government by the British sloop of war, now lying at Hampton, subject to his orders. The following Notes shew the happy result of these discussions.
NO. I. MR. ERSKINE TO MR. SMITH.
Washington. 17th April, 1809.
SIR—I have the honour to inform you, that I have received his majesty's commands, to represent to the government of the United States, that his majesty is animated by the most sincere desire for an adjustment of the differences, which have unhappily so long prevailed between the two countries, the recalcitrance of which might have a tendency to impede, if not prevent an amicable understanding.
It having been represented to his majesty's government, that the congress of the United States in their proceedings at the opening of the last session, had evinced an intention of passing certain laws, which would place the relations of Great Britain with the United States upon an equal footing, in all respects, with the other belligerent powers, I have accordingly received his majesty's commands, in the event of such laws taking place, to offer, on the part of his majesty, an honourable reparation for the aggression, committed by a British naval officer, in the attack on the United States' frigate Chesapeake.
Considering the act, passed by the congress of the United States on the 1st of March, (usually termed the non-intercourse act, as having produced a state of equality, in the relations of the two belligerent powers, with respect to the United States, I have to submit, conformably to instructions, for the consideration of the American government, such terms of satisfaction and reparation, as his Majesty is induced to believe, will be accepted, in the same spirit of conciliation, with which they are proposed.
In addition to the prompt disavowal made by his Majesty, on being apprized of the unauthorized act, committed by his naval officer, whose recall, as a mark of the King's displeasure, from an highly important and honorable command, immediately ensued, his Majesty is willing to restore the men forcibly taken out of the Chesapeake, and, if acceptable to the American government, to make a suitable provision for the unfortunate sufferers on that occasion.
I have the honor to be, with sentiments of the highest respect and consideration, sir, your most obedient humble servant, D. M. ERSKINE.
The Hon. Robert Smith, Esq. Secretary of State, &c. &c.
(No. II.)
Department of State, April 17, 1809.
SIR—I have laid before the President your note, in which you have, in the name and by the order of his Britannick Majesty, declared that his Britannick Majesty is desirous of making an honorable reparation for the aggression committed by a British naval officer in the attack on the United States' frigate the Chesapeake; that, in addition to his prompt disavowal of the act, his Majesty, as a mark of his displeasure, did immediately recall the offending officer from a highly important and honorable command; and that he is willing to restore the men forcibly taken out of the Chesapeake, and, if acceptable to the American government, to make a suitable provision for the unfortunate sufferers on that occasion.
The government of the United States, having, at all times, entertained a sincere desire for an adjustment of the differences, which have so long and so unhappily subsisted between the two countries, the President cannot but receive with pleasure, assurances, that his Britannick Majesty is animated by the same disposition, and that he is ready, in conformity to this disposition, to make atonement for the insult and aggression committed by one of his naval officers in the attack on the United States frigate the Chesapeake.
As it appears, at the same time, that in making this offer, his Britannick Majesty derives a motive from the equality, now existing, in the relations of the United States, with the two belligerent powers, the President owes it to the occasion, and to himself, to let it be understood, that this equality is a result incident to a state of things, growing out of distinct considerations.
With this explanation, as requisite as it is frank, I am authorized to inform you that the President accepts the note delivered by you, in the name and by the order of his Britannick Majesty, and will consider the same with the engagement contained therein, when fulfilled as a satisfaction for the insult and aggression of which he has been complained. But I have it in
express charge from the President to state, that while he forbears to insist on a further punishment of the offending officer, he is not the less sensible of the justice and utility of such an example, nor the less persuaded that it would best comport with what is due from his Britannick Majesty to his own honour.
I have the honour to be, With the highest respect and consideration, Sir, your most obedient servant, R. SMITH.
The Hon. David M. Erskine, Esq. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannick Majesty.
(No. III.)
MR. ERSKINE TO MR. SMITH.
Washington, April 18th, 1809.
SIR—I have the honour of informing you that his Majesty, having been persuaded that the honourable reparation which he had caused to be tendered for the unauthorised attack upon the American frigate Chesapeake, would be accepted by the government of the United States in the same spirit of conciliation, with which it was proposed, has instructed me to express his satisfaction, should such a happy termination of that affair take place; not only as having removed a painful cause of difference, but as affording a fair prospect of a complete and cordial understanding being re-established between the two countries.
The favourable change in the relations of his majesty with the United States, which has been produced by the act (usually termed the non-intercourse act) passed in the last session of congress, was also anticipated by his majesty, and has encouraged a further hope, that a reconsideration of the existing differences might lead to their satisfactory adjustment.
On these grounds and expectations, I am instructed to communicate to the American government, his majesty's determination of sending to the United States, an envoy extraordinary invested with full powers to conclude a treaty on all the points of the relations between the two countries.
In the mean time, with a view to contribute to the attainment of so desirable an object; his majesty would be willing to withdraw his Orders in Council of January and November 1807, so far as respects the United States, in the persuasion that the president would issue a proclamation for the renewal of the intercourse with Great Britain, and that whatever difference of opinion should arise in the interpretation of the terms of such an agreement will be removed in the proposed negotiation.
I have the honour to be with sentiments of the highest consideration and esteem, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, D. M. ERSKINE.
Hon. Robert Smith, &c. &c. &c.
(No. IV.)
Mr. Smith to Mr. Erskine.
Department of State, April 18th, 1809.
SIR—The note which I had the honour of receiving from you this day, I lost no time in laying before the President, who, being sincerely desirous of a satisfactory adjustment of the differences unhappily existing between Great Britain and the United States, has authorised me to assure you, that he will meet with a disposition correspondent with that of his Britannick Majesty, the determination of his majesty to send to the United States a special envoy, invested with full powers to conclude a treaty on all the points of the relations between the two countries.
I am further authorised to assure you that in case his Britannick majesty should, in the mean time withdraw his orders in council of January and November, 1807, so far as respects the United States, the President will not fail to issue a Proclamation by virtue of the authority and for the purposes specified in the eleventh section of the statute, commonly called the Non-Intercourse Act.
I have the honour, &c. (Signed) R. SMITH.
(No. V.)
MR. ERSKINE TO MR. SMITH.
Washington, April 19, 1809.
SIR—In consequence of the acceptance, by the President, as stated in your letter dated the 18th inst. of the proposals made by me on the part of his majesty, in my letter of the same day, for the renewal of the intercourse between the respective countries, I am authorised to declare that his majesty's orders in council of January and November 1807, will have been withdrawn as respects the United States on the 10th day of June next.
I have the honour to be, with great respect and consideration, sir, your most obedient servant. (Signed) D. M. ERSKINE. Hon. Robert Smith, &c. &c. &c.
(No. VI.)
MR. SMITH TO MR. ERSKINE.
Department of State, April 19, 1809.
SIR—Having laid before the president your note of this day, containing an assurance, that his Britannick majesty will, on the 10th day of June next have withdrawn his orders in council of January and November 1807, so far as respects the United States, I have the honour of informing you that the president will accordingly, and in pursuance of the eleventh section of the statute, commonly called the Non-Intercourse act, issue a proclamation, so that the trade of the United States with Great Britain may on the same day be renewed, in the manner provided in the said section.
I have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) R. SMITH.
By the President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas it is provided by the 11th section of the act of Congress entitled "An act to interdict the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and their dependencies; and for other purposes"—that "in case either France or Great Britain shall so revoke or modify her edicts, as they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States" the President is authorised to declare the same by proclamation, after which the trade suspended by the said act and by an act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, and the several acts supplementary thereto, may be renewed with the nations so doing. And whereas the Hon. David Montagu Erskine, his Britannick Majesty's Envoy extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, has by the order and in the name of his sovereign, declared to this government, that the British orders in council of January and November, 1807, will have been withdrawn, as respects the United States, on the 10th day of June next. Now therefore I, JAMES MADISON, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim that the orders in council aforesaid will have been withdrawn on the said 10th day of June next; after which day the trade of the United States with Great Britain, as suspended by the act of Congress aforesaid, and an act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of
the United States, and the several acts supplementary thereto, may be renewed.
Given under my hand and seal of the United States, at Washington, the twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and nine, and of the Independence of the United States, the thirty-third.
JAMES MADISON. By the President, R. SMITH, Secretary of State.
BOSTON, April 14.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Since our last we have received our London files to the last of February.
We do not find much important information in the papers. With respect to Spain, our information direct from Spain, is much later, and already known to our readers. Two events appear to be corroborated—the sudden return of Bonaparte to Paris, and the ordered return of the duke of Montebello's (Lasnes) division from Spain. These events we had stated to us in our Spanish papers. At the last date, it was reported that Napoleon had proceeded to the States of the Rhine. This, however, we consider as mere report.
From Austria we had nothing authentic—reports from the North had reached England that she meditated, in company with Prussia, a rupture with France; and we know, that at Valencia, south of Spain, a similar account was received there February 20th, from Trieste. Though such an event, in the situation of Europe, ought not to be considered improbable; yet we had nothing stable to corroborate the report. Russia, it is stated, on one side, would remain a looker on, while others pronounce she would take a decided part in concert with France. It is a fact, that the anticipated conscription of 1810, in France, had been completed in January. When the decree ordering this conscription passed, if we rightly recollect, it was stated that these conscripts would not be called for, unless a new enemy threatened the empire.
The British fleet, of about 11 sail of the line, it was reported, had put to sea; and that the English squadrons were in pursuit of it. Conjectures on its destination are idle.
Hostilities between Russia and Sweden appeared to have ceased; and the good understanding existing between England and Sweden continued.
In Great Britain there appeared no diminution of spirit, resources, revenue or prosperity. The Parliament, for several weeks, had been occupied in examining witnesses on charges against the duke of York, as commander in chief of the army. The nature of these charges will be seen under our foreign head. No vote had been taken on the subject. There was no prospect of a change of ministers, though the minority in both houses of parliament had increased. Lord Petty moved in the Commons to censure ministers for the expedition to Portugal; but his motion was negatived. 3 to 138.
From letters and verbal information by the Mercator, to the last date, we are assured (and Mr. Pinckney is quoted as the authority) that all differences between the United States and Great Britain had been amicably adjusted.
Our letters from Liverpool, to March 1st, state, that notwithstanding the supplies recently received, all articles of American produce bore very high prices. Some cotton were rated at a dollar and a quarter per lb. The common cottons at about 57 cents. Flour, March 1st, was at 12 1/2 dollars the American barrel. There is no part of England in which the American embargo is so severely felt as in Liverpool.

The Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law; the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an unexpected moment, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this Institution; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1/2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3/4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1/2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended by circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
The Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and the various disorders of the same nature, are so exquisitely painful, and so difficult to be cured, that they have justly excited the utmost stretch of medical investigation. Some professional gentlemen have excelled in one department of the sciences; others in another. Dr. Tissot particularly has long been renowned for the superiority of his prescription in chronic diseases, and the length of time which elapsed during his sole attention to the nature and effects and cure of these affections, render the medicines which he recommended of invaluable importance. The beneficial effects of these drops, have been so often experienced, and their extraordinary efficacy has been attested by witnesses so numerous and so unimpeachably credible, that incredulity itself cannot doubt the virtue of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops. Large quantities have already been vendred, and the sale is now become so general, and their certainty in curing the disorders of their nature is so completely ascertained, that certificates of their unbounded utility are now unnecessary. Testimonies of their value, and a volume of attested cases performed by them, may be seen upon application at T. W. Dyott's genuine Drug and Patent Medicine Warehouse, No. 57, South Second-street, Philadelphia.
The price of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, is only two dollars per bottle, with copious directions.
Generous allowances made to those who buy to sell again.
Of the many respectable testimonies of the effects of the above Drops, which have been received by the proprietor, we beg leave to annex the following:
Certificate of General Ridgely of Hampton. I certify that having received a blow on my knee, which induced severe pain and swelling, I was advised to apply to Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, and on bathing the part with them only a few times, agreeably to the directions, they effected a perfect cure. Another time my wrist was affected with rheumatism to such a degree, as to render my hand for the time useless, when on application of the same remedy in like manner, the disorder in the course of twenty-four hours was entirely removed.
I therefore, from the experience I have had of the efficacy of said medicine, consider it a beneficial act to recommend it in similar cases to others. (Signed) C. RIDGELY, of Hampton.
Certificate of John Gibson, Esq. one of the Directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland.
I certify that about a year since, my foot received an injury by a fall; in a few hours after it was affected with a most excruciating pain, so that I was unable to walk, with crutching. I was apprehensive that this accident would induce a severe fit of the gout, with which I had been frequently attacked. In this situation one of my friends highly recommended and earnestly advised me to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops; I immediately procured them and made the application; in less than three hours the pain entirely abated, which had been so severe, as to deprive me of sleep for several nights. By a few further applications, a perfect cure succeeded. I have frequently since in other cases, both used them myself, and recommended them to others with invariable success. (Signed) JOHN GIBSON.
Certificate of Mrs. Mary Taylor.
I, Mary Taylor, No. 135, Plumb street, Philadelphia, aged upwards of seventy years, having been afflicted with very violent rheumatic pains for more than eight years, being recommended to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, on only using half a bottle every rheumatic affection was completely removed, and I have continued free from all pain ever since; as witness my hand. MARY TAYLOR.
