SPANISH AFFAIRS.
From the North American. Extract of a Letter from Havanna, dated July 19, 1808, to a gentleman in Baltimore.
When I last wrote you, affairs here wore a different aspect from what they do this day, in consequence of the calamitous events which have taken place in Spain. The change, which has taken place in Spain, will, I have no doubt, turn the current of public opinion against that faithless nation, who now only exists on the plunder she carries off from other nations. Her last act of perfidy outstrips any preceding act of the tyrant, who rules the nation. On the 17th instant, a new intendant general arrived here in 35 days from Cadiz; who brought the accounts of the situation of Spain, and the declaration of war against France, which was proclaimed in the usual manner throughout this city on that evening; and on the following day, the 18th, peace was proclaimed with England in the same style and form. This day the coronation ceremony is to take place, and all officers, military and civil, are to take the oath usual on such occasions. The ceremony will take place in the Champ de Mars, and will, I expect, be awful and interesting. The Captain General has put all the strong places in the best possible state of defence, and taken care, by keeping up strong patrols night and day, to save the French from being massacred, by way of retaliation for their perfidy at Madrid and Barcelona.
"Many families have here lost their relations and friends at Madrid and Barcelona, and are so enraged, that it will be a difficult matter for government to restrain them. Not one dare appear in the street by night, and but few in the day, such as are known to be either American citizens or Spanish subjects. This gives the finishing stroke to piracy in these seas, and I hope that all the pirates in the different ports to windward, with their prizes and privateers, will be caught, before they get information of the acts of this government. Dispatches have been sent off by government to every port in the island directing all the cruisers to be seized and detained, with their prizes, and to make the crews prisoners. This port has already been opened to the British trade; we may therefore soon expect to see it filled with vessels from the windward and leeward islands, and stocked with dry goods, whilst you are locked up in the waters of the Chesapeake, by the happy expedient of a perpetual embargo."
HAVANNA, July 20, 1808.
Sir, Inclosed is the Proclamation issued a few minutes since, by the Governor of this Island—the Oath of Allegiance to Fernando S. Spiano , is to be administered to all the civil and military officers this afternoon. [Translated for the N. T. Evening Post.]
PROCLAMATION. Inhabitants of the Island of Cuba, worthy Descendants of the generous Spanish nation!
Know that I have this day received several manifestoes, proclamations, and edicts, published and printed by order of the Supreme Council (Junta) of government which has been established in Seville, in consequence of an act of perfidy, more infamous than any which the world has ever witnessed; papers which you will very soon see, appear not to be written by men, but rather inspired by Angels—in short, papers which must necessarily produce the vindication of insulted and derided Spain, and the liberty of all Europe which lies buried in slavery by the same hand which afflicts our brethren. It appears by them, and I learn by the relation of persons worthy of belief, who have been eye witnesses of the dreadful and horrid events which took place in our Peninsula in the months of April and May, that the French government assuming the false character of a friend and good ally, has deceived Ferdinand VII. the best and most virtuous of kings, abused his generosity and good faith, invited him to his territory by artful insidious caresses, and by similar crafty and treacherous proceedings induced his august parents, and the whole of the Royal family, to follow him, for the purpose of treating them, as they have been treated, with the most disgraceful contempt, and consummated at last their horrible design by compelling them to renounce the crown of Spain in favor of a foreigner having no other right than his insatiable ambition, at the same time that his executioners and
assassins were shedding the precious blood of the inhabitants of Madrid, as a return for the hospitality and fraternity with which they had been received and welcomed, as their own chiefs have publicly acknowledged. Our language contains no term adequate to characterize conduct so horrible, which has covered France with infamy and Spain with mourning, and which has made the most insensible and barbarous nations shudder with fear. But think not from this, that the sentiment of honor, the nobleness of mind, and the majestic dignity of the Spanish character, have been dismayed at the sight of such direful calamity. On the contrary, the virtuous and magnanimous sons of a heroic country, are determined to fight until the last man of its twelve millions of inhabitants shall gloriously die, to avenge their outraged religion, their violated females, their murdered children, and to rescue from captivity their adored Ferdinand. Yes, doubt it not, they will fill with dread the authors of such iniquity, and will exterminate them. They are animated with a holy rage, capable of breaking in pieces the chains which bind all the nations of Europe. They have adjusted an armistice with England, a name sweet and consolatory to the human race! to which henceforth must be added that of Shield of afflicted humanity , for the same just reason that Spain must be styled the delivrer of the world . Yes, they co-operate with the virtuous and magnanimous English, for though they have just been our accidental enemies, to whom it is unknown that this could only have been, as in fact it was, an effect of the violence and machiavellism of the French government? Do not blame me on account of the inconsistency between this sentiment and those expressed in the proclamation published on the 27th of January last—besides that almost every government labours under some systematic defects, and commits some acts of injustice, which gives room for invectives, more especially in a state of war, it was a duty of my official station, to accommodate my language to that of my superiors, as I do on the present occasion; but with this difference, that my soul is justly and profoundly indignant, and that I am ardently desirous to shed my blood as a sacrifice to my religion, my King, and my country. Be confidently persuaded that the other nations whose habitations and fields are yet smoking with the innocent blood of the flower of their youth which has been shed by an incomprehensible chain of successes combined by the genius of desolation, will recover from their dismay, will acquire courage to take off the yoke, and united with Spain and England, will concur in the greatest and noblest work which man can perform, with the same ardour that animates the lioness to rescue her young. The French themselves, that nation, illustrious, generous, and worthy of a better lot, will hasten to wash away the black spot with which their own hands have tarnished their lustre—compassionate them, and view them not with hatred, for they are our brothers, and will soon be our good friends. The Divine Creator of men, the arbiter of the fate of nations, is interested in this noble and august work, and we ought not to doubt his protection. I see you full of ardent zeal to try to take a part in it, but your situation at the distance of 3000 leagues unfortunately now deprives you of that glorious felicity—But it is of no moment.
Money to defray the expense of it is no less necessary than arms, and it is in your power to participate by means of an offering more salutary to men, and agreeable in the sight of God, than was ever offered in his holy temple. Imitate the Spanish heroines; circumscribe your expenses; renounce your superfluities; establish a Spartan economy; let there not remain in your houses, a single ounce of gold or silver, except what is absolutely necessary for religious rites. Will you have less virtue and less generosity than the Romans had, when they believed Hannibal was approaching the gates of Rome? Will you have more attachment to your property, and less disinterestedness than those Pagans, who knew not the true God? Will you have less respect than they to your Holy Religion, less loyalty and less love to your country, to your custom, to your laws and to your government, less affection for your wives and tender infants, and less horror of the tyranny and slavery, with which the hosts of the common enemy threaten you as soon as they shall have subjugated your brethren!—Will you prefer to reserve your riches entire to the end that the booty may be greater and more captivating to the eyes of their cupidity,
rather than sacrifice a part for the sake of objects so precious, which you may save at so little cost, preserve, unhurt, Spain, your glorious native soil, and redeem from captivity your king who has ascended the throne by the rugged road of virtue and heroism, braving the dangers of the scaffold and the enormous infamy of being reputed a regicide and parricide, when his object was to make you happy by the downfall of a perfidious traitor and despotic favorite! Pardon me if I offend your delicacy, your generosity, your well known loyalty and your holy ambition of true and solid glory. My imagination, disturbed by so melancholy an event, can scarcely allow me to articulate words—how much less to consider them! I am sure that you will do much more than I ask of you. I well know your virtues, and you are not ignorant how much I appreciate them, and what are the sentiments of my heart towards you and each one of you. Yes! This is the epoch in which America and her renowned sons, thro' whose veins runs the illustrious and most noble Spanish blood, will display their greatness of soul, and will acquire as much glory as was recently acquired by the heroic inhabitants of Buenos Ayres, a glory as much more true and solid, as the moral virtues and trophies exceed the martial and blood stained triumphs of Mars. The good which you do on this occasion will be common to the Spaniards, to all the nations of Europe, and to yourselves, but the sweet pleasure of listening to the blessings on you, which will resound from generation to generation, will be a most flattering reward derived from your beneficence, the most valuable which men can grant, and much more estimable than the equivocal distinctions and decorations which are bestowed by sovereigns, and not always upon virtue, and even sometimes upon corruption and vice.
I hasten to give you this information, that you may instantly know the great object which ought to occupy the attention and the heart of every Spaniard, and of every man living who loves mankind. But at the same time, I earnestly recommend to you resignation to divine providence, which knows how to extract an antidote from poison, the virtue of fortitude and magnanimity never so necessary as at present; patience, prudence, moderation and docility, to repress your inevitable uneasiness, to shun all tumult and disorder, and to abstain from giving the slightest disturbance to the peaceable, laborious, and most useful Frenchmen, our fellow inhabitants and friends, who, driven by a revolution the most sanguinary and infamous of any recorded by history, have sought and found in your bosom the sacred asylum of a fraternal hospitality; understanding that if there be among them any one whose residence can be injurious to us, he shall be caused to leave the island, without oppression, protecting the others with Spanish humanity, and with the strong shield of justice who will know how to use proper severity towards all who shall attempt to offend them by word or action.
If you hearken with docility to the paternal advice which I give you, and observe it carefully, I trust in the mercy of God, in your loyalty and in your virtues, that you will very soon see the dawn of tranquility, of rejoicing, of prosperity, and of more brilliant glory for yourselves and your future generations.
THE MARQUIS DE SOMERUELOS. Havanna, July 17, 1808.
LONDON, June 16.
A Spanish gentleman of rank has arrived at Plymouth with dispatches from the patriots of Spain to the government of this country. This gentleman, we understand, left Coruna on the 5th inst. It gives us pleasure to find that the determination of the people of Spain to resist the usurper, and to maintain their independence, becomes every day stronger. The patriots of Oviedo and Biscay have joined the provinces of Asturias and Galicia, and on the line of coast belonging to these provinces, there are no less than 150,000 men in arms, resolved to resist the common enemy of mankind.
His majesty's ministers, we are happy to say, have lost no time in making preparations to give effectual assistance to the Spaniards in this glorious struggle. Sir A. Wellesley, we understand, leaves town this day to take command of the expedition assembled at Cork, which is destined, in the first instance, for Spain.
Some more intelligence has been received from Cadiz, by a vessel that left that place on the 19th ult. and at that
time no arrangements had taken place with admiral Purvis.
The Cork paper of the 16th inst. says—The expedition preparing to sail from this harbour, we understand, is composed of the 5th, 9th, 39th, 40th, 71st, and 91st regiments of foot, the 5th battalion of the 60th, and 4th Royal Veteran battalion. It is to be commanded by Maj. Gen. Hill, a gallant and experienced officer, under whom are appointed brigadier generals Fane and Crawford."
It is stated, on the strength of private letters, which have reached this country from the continent, that the Emperor of Austria is exhibiting the utmost possible vigor and activity in raising forces to throw his dominions; not even the nobles and most distinguished persons in the kingdom being exempt from the levy. The occasion of this sudden and powerful armament is indeed most imperious. Buonaparte has demanded a passage for his troops through the Austrian states, in order as he professes, to attack the Turkish empire. To comply with such a request, while the person who makes it is in the very execution of his Spanish treachery, would be a mere act by which the Emperor of Austria would conspire against his own crown and dignity, in the same manner as the king of Spain has done. To refuse compliance is almost equally dangerous: yet this step has, we understand, been taken. If the Emperor of Austria means to persevere in his resolution, dictated alike by necessity and honor, he will have occasion for all the forces which his kingdom can afford and support; and therefore his activity in raising and organizing them is by no means a premature, or superfluous exertion. A letter from Holland states, that the Emperor of Austria has no less than 300,000 men in the highest state of preparation.
LIVERPOOL, June 18.—The present situation of Spain is still the great object of political interest in this country: but tho' the reports which reach us from different parts of the Spanish territory increase in number and importance every day, there is yet a great deficiency of authentic and satisfactory information on this very interesting subject.
The substance of the latest intelligence which has been received is, that all the northern and some of the western provinces of Spain are in the highest state of ferment and dissatisfaction, in consequence of the attempts of Buonaparte to impose a new Government on the country, independent of the popular will; that in all these districts the people are ripe for a revolt, and in many of them, are in a state of actual insurrection. In these latter provinces, it is added, large bodies of men are already organized, provided with the means of warfare, and commanded by leading men of character and rank. In opposition, however, to all these statements, which it must be confessed, rest chiefly on indirect and uncertain communications, it is positively affirmed in the Monitor , that all the provinces of Spain, which are (except two) distinctly enumerated, are in a state of the most perfect tranquility, and that all the constituted authorities, as well as almost all the leading men of Spain have quietly acquiesced in the new order of things. The two provinces of Galicia and Asturias are omitted in the list, from which it is sufficiently plain, that with respect to them, at least, the accounts which have reached us are well founded.
Such is the balance of evidence as far as respects the public accounts which have been brought forward on both sides, and when we recollect the number, situation and means of the malcontents, and compare them with the immense mass of force which Buonaparte is preparing to bring against them, we are afraid that any man must consult his wishes rather than his judgment, who entertains any very sanguine hopes of effectual resistance.
But it is very probable, from the measures which our government are now adopting, that they are in possession of intelligence of a more decisive and satisfactory nature than any which has yet been laid before the public. Two Spanish noblemen have arrived here, who have, it seems, been regularly received as Ambassadors from the insurgents in Spain, and from their statements, (which however, as coming from professed partizans, ought to be received with caution,) our Ministers will be able to form a better idea of the actual state and resources of the country, than from the confused and indirect accounts which have come some before the public. There is a general spirit of sympathy for the people of Spain, diffused throughout this

country, and we have no doubt but immediate assistance will be sent thither, if it can be done with any chance for eventual success.
A confidential person, we hear, is to proceed without delay, in a frigate, to Cadiz, that he may have an opportunity of conferring with the authorities that have raised the standard of freedom, before the force which is to be sent thither shall arrive; and he is to have full power to act, according as he shall find the country to be situated—This is certainly at once prompt and prudent.—The urgency of the case is so apparent, that we trust no time will be allowed to any man who is to make a part of the expedition, to remain one hour beyond the date of his last dispatch.
In addition to all the above accounts, intelligence has been received that a negotiation has been entered into between our commanding admiral, and the governing authorities at Cadiz, for the surrender of the combined fleet to Great Britain. The information has been received only thro' indirect channels; but it is extensively credited, and a confirmation of the fact is hourly expected.
SEVILLE, June 4, 1808. —According to information received by the Supreme Junta, from his excellency Don Eusebio A. de Herrera, the people of Lebrija, Xerez, Puerto de Santa Maria, Pto Real, and Ysla de Leon, have proclaimed Ferdinand the VIIIth, as their legitimate sovereign.
The inhabitants of Cadiz have elected Don Thomas Mora, for their Chief, who adopted immediately measures to check some disturbances in that city. This general has given assurances that he will strictly conform to all the measures and instructions of the Supreme Junta; in compliance with which, he has ordered the regiments of Numancia, Pavia, and Paria, to repair to this capital, and they will be immediately followed by the remainder of the infantry. The whole force consists of 13,933 infantry and 17 squadrons of horse.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, rear admiral Don Enrique Macdonald, and the magistrate Pedro Creux, went on board the British admiral's flag ship off Cadiz to establish conferences—and at half past 8 P. M. they returned with the satisfactory answer that the forces of his Britannic majesty would co-operate with the dispositions of the Supreme Junta—and render every assistance that might be desired—among other arrangements a force of 5000 men belonging to the garrison of Gibraltar would be immediately landed at Cadiz.
The commissioners appointed to take possession of the arms and ammunition belonging to the French fleet, had found 8000 muskets, which were immediately sent by way of St. Lucar and Barrameda to this capital.
Gen Castanet has issued a proclamation, directing the cities within his command to acknowledge the authority of the supreme Junta.
Intelligence received by the Supreme Junta, dated Fuentes de Gento, June 1, states the surrender of 6000 French troops at Yelves, to the Portuguese.
SEVILLE, June 5. The supreme council received by express this morning, the following advice:
Lisbon, June 2. —For three days have been seen from hence at the mouth of this har, a formidable English squadron. Yesterday I myself counted 18 ships of war nearly within cannon shot, with 40 sail of transports, without reckoning others which appear more distant upon the horizon.
It is asserted that part of said squadron comes from the Mediterranean, where it destroyed in sight of Majorca the united French squadron which had got out of Brest and Rochfort, re-united with that of Toulon and five Russian ships which had joined them. It appears that there have been brought in tow nine vessels out of this defeat, and which are now with the squadron at the entrance of this port. French troops have marched for different places in Spain.—Those of Spain have defiled off for that quarter, some by orders, and others of their own accord.
OF SWEDEN.
The news from Sweden is not quite so favorable as heretofore. The capture of Sweaburg is described as a most important acquisition, and the invasion of Sweden is now confidently talked of by the Russians.
There are two modes or avenues by which the Russians, if masters of Finland, may penetrate into Sweden. The first is from Abo across the Gulf of Bo-
thnia, through the isle of Aland, to the mouth of the Meter lake or river, on which Stockholm is built. The distance across, from shore to shore, is not above a hundred and forty miles; but as the English fleet may appear there, it is doubtful whether the Russian flotilla will venture on so hazardous an experiment before winter. The Gulf of Bothnia may then be crossed on the ice. The other entrance into Sweden is much more circuitous, by re-mounting along the Eastern shore of the Gulf of Bothnia, to Tornes in Lapland, at its head, and then descending on the Western side, thro' the Keene and Umea Lapland, into the Northern Provinces of Sweden. For such a march the summer would be preferable to winter. It never has been attempted hitherto in any age, or by any people; but it is by no means impracticable; though the natural impediments are very great and numerous; particularly in the article of provisions. The march from Abo to Upsal, or to Stockholm, round the head of the gulf of Bothnia, would demand at least three weeks, even in summer. There are neither fortresses nor garrisons to obstruct the advance of an army; but the Lapland torrents would, especially if their banks were defended, impose arduous difficulties. After the Great repeatedly desolated and plundered the Isle of Aland, and he even landed at Geale in Geatricia, a town about ninety miles north of Stockholm, which he burnt in 1749. The whole eastern coast of Sweden, from Calmar to Geale, has little or no artificial defence against an invading enemy. Should the Russians be able to invade Sweden, at once, both by Tornes, and across the Gulph of Bothnia, the country must apparently be subjected.
Mr. Moore, the Astrologer, whose prediction last year, representing the Grand Seignor, made so much noise, not only in this country, but in Europe, has again made a lucky hit, in his predictions for the summer quarter of this year. He says with true oracular perspicuity, 'Let Italy and Spain look to it.'
The Captain General of Catalonia has written to the Junta of State, that he had published in the province under his orders the proclamations which he had received and that they had produced the most happy effects. The most perfect tranquility prevails in Catalonia. Government has received similar intelligence from the provinces of Arragon, Valencia, Granada, and Estremadura, the coasts of St. Andero and Castile. [Diario di Madrid]
ZARA, May 6. —All the Bishops of this Province are met here for the purpose of solemnly taking, the day after to-morrow, before his excellency the Providore general the oath of submission to his Imperial and Royal Majesty. For a long time we shall not have witnessed so noble and dignified a ceremony.
The greatest part of the contribution imposed by the French on the inhabitants of Dantzick has been levied, by military execution.
ALEXANDRIA, August 18.
The French Brig that has been for some time at the Navy Yard, yesterday dropped down to this place, and this day sailed on her cruise.
The freeholders and other inhabitants of the town of Boston, qualified as the law directs, have been notified, to meet at Faneuil Hall, on Tuesday at ten o'clock, A. M.; then and there, upon a request of a number of the inhabitants, to take into consideration the opportunity that is now presented for removing in some degree the embarrassments and restrictions on the commerce of the United States, by a renewal of trade with the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal, and their provinces and colonies, and if the town should think proper, to prepare and present a respectful petition to the president of the U. States, requesting him, according to the power vested in him by Congress, to suspend an act laying an embargo on all the ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, and the several acts supplementary thereto; at least so far as may respect the trade of the U. States with the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal, and their provinces and colonies—Or to adopt any other measures, that may be considered by the town more proper for removing the embarrassments under which our trade is now suffering. The notice is signed by the town clerk.
Martinsburg, August 19.
We notice with pleasure, that in the states of New-Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, great exertions are making to elect men of different political sentiments and opinions from those who are now representatives; and we are further pleased to learn, that these efforts are likely to be crowned with success.—In New-Jersey a new congressional and electoral ticket will shortly be announced. Now is the time! every man should think the fate of his country depends on himself.
The London Morning Chronicle , of May 13, says, the British government have offered to the American ambassador to pass an act recognizing the United States as the most favored nation regarding trade to enjoy in all British ports and settlements the rights and privileges that may have been enjoyed at any time, by any other power, in amity with Great Britain; and some provisions as to the carrying of colonial produce to European ports, without touching in England; but we have not heard this part of the plan clearly explained. The right of searching merchant ships for British seamen will not be surrendered.—This is to be considered the British ultimatum . Mr. Pinckney could not give a decisive answer, but has sent the propositions to America.
Every one must recollect, the outcry which our democratic papers raised, when Copenhagen was seized.—Now they can scarcely be heard. Napoleon's injustice to his friend and ally, does not excite a sentiment among the whole corps, unless from the editor of the American Citizen . The official paper says, we ought to be thankful that we are so far removed from those scenes of violence. The Monitor says the affairs of Spain do not concern us; and the Enquirer says it will be better for the people of Spain to have Napoleon for their master.—The last observation reminds us of the Liverpool captain's defence of the Slave Trade—he insisted that the trade was humane, for if the negroes were not taken away they would murder each other!
If Buonaparte succeeds in destroying the British navy, (of which there is not much prospect at present) we shall find that we are not far removed, and that we have not removed in the seizure of Spain and her colonies, than we had with the seizure of Copenhagen. [N. Ledger.]
The head quarters of the commander in chief of the army of the United States, are about to be transferred to Carlisle a Pennsylvania, and it is supposed that either the whole or a large portion of the new levies will be collected at that position, for the introduction of the modern discipline.
Mr. Allaire, a French chymist, has published a new method of scouring wool, which consists in dipping it repeatedly into a lye of quick lime. The chalky earth forms an animal soap with the grease. The wool is thus speedily and economically scourged, and without altering its quality.
A London paper of June 7, says—Mr. HAMMARD, formerly pilot of the English man of war Saturn , has been arrested in France, as a spy, and shot by order of the French government—or, according to other accounts beheaded. He had been sent from the Saturn on board L'Aigle , captain Wolfe, to reconnoitre the French coast, and landed at a port near L'Orient; he had been on shore 13 days, and was preparing to come off in the boat, when he was arrested.
For the Intelligence.
TO THE PEOPLE.
Bonaparte is now master of one half of the new world, one third of the old, and unmolested, except by G. Britain, in the high road to universal conquest! Great Britain and the U. States are disputing about a few sailors, while Bonaparte moves on with an hitherto irresistible step to the conquest of both. An impression is made upon the minds of the people of the U. States that Bonaparte is only fighting for the liberty of the seas and that the U. States are interested in his success—Give him a footing in the Floridas and in Mexico, and tolerate corruption in the U. States, and in five years he will take into his own hands the destinies of this country; for the same purposes, and under the same pretences, that he has assumed the government of Spain and her dependencies—
to preserve the integrity of the union against the insinuations of G. Britain through the medium of the Press! How alarming is the idea now held forth by the French partisans, that Admiral , as it is termed, is the cause of the perpetuation of the British orders. Mark this by countrymen to the first link in the chain of French domination! It is not doubted into the supposition that there may be some plan on the part of G. Britain to dismember these U. States. There is a such plan on her part. That such a plan does exist, is more than probable, but it is not at the instigation of G. Britain. Bonaparte is now playing off G. Britain upon the U. States, and the U. States upon G. Britain! Be not deluded by your partialities nor your prejudices in favour of this or that man; but decidedly unite in a determined and unqualified opposition to every measure of Bonaparte tending to secure to himself any portion of this continent.—As a preliminary step, close into your ranks all men known to be opposed, uniformly opposed, to the schemes of this very extraordinary hero and statesman. No combination or half-way measures will be adequate to counteract the vast schemes of this man! We are, I presume, too wise to abandon our independence and exempt ourselves from the whirl of any individual. Let us therefore assume a commanding station, and unite in the leading interests of our nation, and which is our natural and also constitutional position. Political canting is suspicious. Those who are incessantly harrowing up the fields of political discord, and disseminating the seeds of political dissension among us, dealing out delusion in the circles in which they move, no reason would check their advancement, they will step into the current of prejudice and flow down with the tide of the passions which they themselves have excited for their own promotion. They keep truth suspended between the enlightening and darkening emanations of the Press; and under this species of twilight communication we are compelled to act in our all important constituent character. The period is again approaching, according to the rules of the constitution, for the interposition of our constituent power. Let us rise superior to the cantankerous party spirit and continued warfare from action upon principle. Let each individual invite union and moderation, and avoid extending the breach of discord. We all profess political philosophy; but too frequently contribute to political animosity. We preach tolerance, but practise persecution. Let us drive from the fields of election the influence of delusion and abuse, and remember that insinuation is not the lot of humanity. If we are united in our opposition to the further advancement of France, the dignity and independence of our country will be preserved. Let it be remembered that neither Washington nor Adams ever committed the dignity of this nation, or shrunk from the conflicting storms of the political world.

PROPOSALS for printing by SUBSCRIPTION, The Armenian Skeleton, BY WILLIAM HUNTINGTON.
THE publisher has been induced to offer a new American edition of this work to the public from the scarcity of it, (it being almost out of print) and with the hope that its circulation will be a great public good, and have a tendency to point out to searchers after righteousness the true path in which it may be found. He trusts that it will richly repay those for its perusal who are in search after Divine truths; all who wish to see the glorious Gospel promoted and spread through our land, he doubts not, will feel a disposition to encourage this source and valuable work.
The publisher is not actuated by interested views in offering this work to the public; his sole object is the dissemination of truths necessary for every human creature to be acquainted with; his only wishes to obtain as many subscribers as will pay for the printing, his own situation being such as to put it out of his power to have it republished without the aid of others.
The work will probably make from 250 to 300 duodecimo pages; it shall be well printed on good paper, and the price, half bound, shall not exceed one dollar; those who wish them bound in leather can have them at the additional expense of binding; if the number of subscribers should be equal to his expectation, the price in all probability will be less.
The work will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to pay for the printing.
Subscriptions received at the office of the Intelligence.
JOHN HUTCHINSON. June 3, 1808.
BATH.
THE subscribers, appointed at the last session of the General Assembly, Trustees for the town of Bath, Berkeley County Virginia, are informed that a number of persons, who have been advised to use the waters of this place, are deterred from visiting it, from an apprehension of its unhealthiness. They deem it their duty to state to the public, that the mill-pond to which the former sickness of persons at Bath is almost exclusively to be ascribed, has been long since entirely dry, in consequence of the dam having been taken down, and that the inhabitants of the town have enjoyed their usual health for more than a year past, and of course, during the summer and fall of the last year. We are entirely satisfied that these Springs may be resorted to as formerly without any risque to the health of visitors, from the cause above mentioned.
The Commissioners have had the Baths repaired, and are taking measures for cleansing the streets, cellars, &c.—They intend, as far as the powers given them by law will permit, to fit the place for the comfortable accommodation of those to whom the use of the waters may be necessary.
