FRIDAY, October 14, 1808.
Whole No. 489.
Terms of the Intelligencer. THE price of this paper is two dollars per annum, one dollar payable at the time of subscribing, and one when the year expires. Distant subscribers pay for the whole year in advance. No subscriber received for a shorter term than six months, and no paper discontinued until arrearages are paid. A failure to notify discontinuance of the paper at the end of the time subscribed for, will be considered a new engagement. The price of advertisements to non-subscribers is one dollar per square for three weeks insertion, and for continuance after that time 25 cents per week. Subscribers will continue to receive a reduction of one dollar on their advertisements.
A settlement of all the accounts with this Office is anxiously desired; the greater part of them have been standing open, from two to six years, and some as long as eight years. It is not our wish to oppress at any time, much less at a period like the present, when distress and gloom appears to pervade all grades of society, from the once independent farmer, down to the more humble mechanic and labourer; but justice to ourselves and others, requires, in a voice that must be heard, that a settlement should shortly take place. We are disposed to make every alleviation in our power, will therefore take in payment any kind of grain, wood, or any other useful article our employers have to dispose of. From those who cannot make payment in any way, at this time, we shall certainly expect notes for what is now due, before their accounts are encumbered. Many have expressed a willingness to settle annually, but from not being called upon, have neglected it and some have generously paid us in advance to such we tender our thanks. It is determined upon to settle all the affairs of this establishment by 'till the first of January next, after which time, if the Intelligencer remains in our hands, we shall endeavour to "alter the procedure," and have our accounts closed at the end of every succeeding year; this, we are certain, will be agreeable to our patrons, and more beneficial to ourselves.
For the paper on which we now print, we have been obliged to pay an advanced price of nearly fifty per cent, and cannot obtain it even at that rate, without advancing cash; the time is fast approaching when we shall want a supply for the winter; we hope our friends will not forget that their aid is necessary to accomplish this.
Prime Soak and Upper Leather FOR SALE.
THE subscriber now has, and will have during the fall and winter, PRIME SOAK at twenty-two cents per pound, by the single side; a generous reduction will be made by the quantity. Some well finished Upper and Calf-Skins, with part cash, will be taken in exchange for Soak.

Late and Interesting news from Europe.
BOSTON, October 4. The ship Mary, Fosdick, from London, arrived here yesterday, in 48 days passage. She brings London papers to Aug. 13, containing a few articles of
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. the brief summary of which is, that Don Joseph Napoleon, had found it necessary to evacuate Madrid, which he did on the 27th July after plundering the palaces and churches of their most valuable effects; that the inhabitants, incensed at this violence and sacrilege, pursued the rear of the army, and regained a number of wagons, loaded with plunder; that plans were forming in several quarters, for intercepting his return, and that upwards of 135,000 Spaniards were on their march towards Madrid for that purpose; that the movement of gen. Cuesta, with his flying artillery, was found out to be a plan, for intercepting Joseph Bonaparte's route to Madrid, which he missed effecting only by a few hours; and that the emperor Napoleon had arrived at Paris, and convoked his senate, for the purpose of sanctioning a plan calling out every man capable of bearing arms, from the age of 16 to 40, to join the French armies in Spain.
Extracts from the papers. Aug. 12. Dispatches received from Coruna, Aug. 5, announce that Joseph Bonaparte, and all the French, are preparing to evacuate Spain. This highly important intelligence was circulated yesterday in the form of a bulletin, conceived in the following terms:
"Intelligence was this morning received by government, from lieut. col. Doyle, dated Coruna, the 4th of August at midnight. The lieut. col. states that he had a letter, dated Madrid, 27th of July, which says, that on that morning the French commenced their retreat from that city; that Joseph Bonaparte had quitted Madrid, and had taken away every thing of value belonging to the court. Every Frenchman was following him, and they were taking the direction of Burgos. The writer of this letter is nephew to a member of the Junta of the Galicians. A letter from Arragon, dated the 27th July, states, that the army of Valencia and Murcia, which consisted of 66,000 men, had on that day passed through that town, on its way to Madrid. It is also stated, that Echervia, at the head of the smugglers, had advanced towards Madrid, and that he was within 18 leagues of the city. Private advices from Arragon state, that the patriots had again been successful in that quarter. Marshal Besiers has evacuated Benevento, and continued his retreat to Burgos. A division of the Austrian army, under the command of gen. Ponte, has made an incursion on the road towards Burgos, and had taken a French convoy, with eight wagons laden with plunder. Gen. Castanos was advancing to La Mancha."
The following is estimated to be the amount of the force advancing from the following Spanish provinces towards Madrid:
 Andalusian levies, 50,000  The Valencian, 45,000  The Murcian, 20,000  The Estremaduran, 20,000 135,000   Independent of the Asturian and Galician armies.  It is said that on Joseph Bonaparte's departure, the unhappy city of Madrid was given up to the plunder of the French soldiery, and they executed their orders with much exactness.  Aug. 13. There are several reports in circulation and among others, it is said, that Joseph Bonaparte was shot as he was preparing to leave Madrid, on the 27th ult.  The inhabitants of Tenerife, have received intelligence of the revolution in Spain, and declared for Ferdinand. The French consul and inhabitants were imprisoned.  Louis 18th has had an interview with his majesty at Kew; and is now visiting the several public institutions in the metropolis.
FROM THE SEVILLE GAZETTE.
To the Andalusians, after the surrender of the French army in the lower parts of Sierra Morena.
Valiant Andalusians! your breasts have caught the spark of patriotism, and in a few days it kindled the fire which has destroyed the oppressors of the nation.
You determined to be free; and, in a moment, you had a titular government, and an army eager for battle and triumph. Those legions of Vandals, which, for a short time, surprised some of your towns, and delivered them to pillage; those barbarians, pulled up with the victories obtained over illiterate nations, and who, loaded with the plunder of Europe, were marching to carry desolation through the beautiful plains watered by the Betis, have already felt the power of your loyalty and attachment to your country and religion.
Valiant Andalusians! yours is the glory of Marengo, of Jena and of Austerlitz. The laurels which wreathed the brows of those conquerors, are now at your feet.
May immortality be the lot of the hero, who has renewed in Sierra Morena, the exploits of Fabius Maximus. Our children will say, Cantos triumphed over the French, and his glory did not fill the houses of our fathers with mourning. May the wreath of victory crown those brave warriors who have overthrown the fierce oppressors of humanity! May the enlightened government be forever blessed, which has defended our rights, and prepared our triumph.
But you are not only Andalusians, you are Spaniards. Fly, sons of the Betis, fly to unite with your brothers of the Ebro, of the Duero, and of the Xucar; fly to break the fetters of the captives of the Tagus, of the Manzanares, and of the Liebregas!
Go and erase from the Spanish soil the very footsteps of these traitors; go, and avenge, in their blood, the outrages which, sheltered by a cowardly and feeble government, they did not hesitate to heap upon you. Do you not hear the groans of those who fell on the 2d of May? Do you not hear the complaints of the oppressed? Are you not moved by the stifled sighs of our Ferdinand, bewailing his separation from his Spaniards?
War and vengeance! Let the tyrant of Europe tremble on the throne, on which he has put the last hand to his enmities.
Valiant Andalusians! you will think no sacrifice too great by which you can recover your king, and your independence. Already you have a country; already you are a great nation. Follow the path of glory and of virtue, which has in the first victory been pointed out to you by the Lord of Hosts.
NEW-YORK, October 5.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated Aug. 26.
"The British ships of war in this quarter, and particularly off here, have received orders from the Admiralty to discharge all the American seamen on board of their respective vessels and in consequence a great many have obtained their discharge and come on shore here; this you may state as a fact, as I can vouch for the truth of it, having conversed with many of them since their liberation—this looks well. Our vessels navigating in this quarter are treated politely by the English, and no obstacle is thrown in the way of our trade, which is admissible. This port being now open, all neutrals are admitted to a free entry—the blockade is raised, and some of the British men of war have quitted this station entirely. Lord Collingwood leaves here in a few days to proceed to Barcelona in Catalonia, which place after being for a long time in possession of the French is at length and to be entirely clear of them. It is computed that the French have lost in this country 100,000 men in killed and prisoners. In all the actions with the French the Spaniards have behaved with great gallantry, and they begin to find that their enemies are not invincible; yet it is said they are some of those soldiers who conquered at Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena. The Spaniards have manifested their determination to conquer or die, and if they persist in this determination I really think the result will be favourable to their cause. The revolution in this country will probably influence the conduct of our government in a greater or less degree. The success of Spain England cannot but participate in—that government has seconded the views of this people and espoused their cause with that accustomed zeal peculiar to them. The Minorca British brig of war arrived here 10 days since with the British consul, Mr. Duff, who brought out upwards of a million of dollars for this government as a loan. Our mutual friend, Mr. — will probably detail to you some account of the military transactions in this country, and particularly the almost unexampled and obstinate defence of Saragossa, a city of Arragon, by the inhabitants of that rich city and province; these brave and loyal people deserve to be classed with the band of Leonidas who so bravely defended the pass of Thermopylae. After repeated attacks on this devoted city, by the flower of the French army, the Arragonians succeeded in driving them entirely out. The carnage has been dreadful—even the women there have shared in all the vicissitudes of the soldier's life, and have fought with an enthusiasm which nothing but a consciousness of justice of their cause and a love of their country could have inspired—more than 1500 of these females have been killed fighting in the ranks in the different attacks."
CADIZ, August 9. Lord Collingwood breakfasted with our Governor yesterday, and was received with all possible honors.
Yesterday arrived from England, a number of merchant vessels.
Biscay has declared for Ferdinand VII.
Many Irishmen have arrived, and intend to serve as volunteers in our army.
We learn, that the diplomatic characters at Madrid, such as the ambassadors from Austria, from Russia, and from the United States, have not acknowledged King Joseph.
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE.
Extract of a letter from Seville, Aug. 6.
By means of the Gazette, perhaps you are already acquainted with the most extraordinary incidents which have ever been, or heard of, in such limited time. I have had no opportunity to communicate them to you, since the last few lines I wrote you, forwarded by Mr. Young.
I shall limit myself, in informing you of what actually occurs, without reporting that which probably you know; comprehending the destruction of the Eagles, Owls, or Birds of prey, which had devastated our dear country. The Castilian Lion, tired of suffering, full of wrath and fury, has torn to pieces every thing within his reach; the enemy, overcome with fear hearing the roaring from the meridian, fly towards the north. The Arragonians will occupy, in the means of Spain, and of the world, a lofty situation. At Saragossa they have suffered seven attacks, and with those arms which were thought unequal, not being exercised in them, (shield and sword) they rushed upon the enemy, and destroyed them, leaving the field of honor covered with dead bodies. Valencia opened her gates to the enemy, receiving them with 24 pounders, loaded with grape shot; by means of which such a horrible carnage took place, that it is still in doubt whether Moncey (who being wounded) with hasty flight, had returned to the small remains of the French army who shamefully flew with the imaginary king, Joseph the 1st. It would require a long time to give a detail of the
BOSTON, Oct. 5.
Yesterday arrived in this port ship United States, capt. Harding, who left Cadiz the 23d of August, and brings the Seville Gazette to the 19th, which contains a confirmation of the account that Joseph Bonaparte, with the French army had fled from Madrid towards France, on the 30th of July! Captain H. adds that it was generally believed in Cadiz, from the various accounts which had been received there, that Spain was entirely cleared of French troops.
Mr. Wilson

Spanish heroism, brilliant actions in Catalonia, bloody and furious battles by Cuesta at Rio Seco, and the most memorable, as relating to humanity, was that at Baylen; 18,000 veterans laid down their arms, and not one Frenchman, out of 26,000 who were in Andalusia, passed again over Sierra Morena; to this day the loss of the fleet, and the sad and miserable plight of the French in Portugal.
Let your imagination carry you to Paris, and examining the pictures and statues, you will hear the French say, these are the trophies of our conquests.
More than 80,000 of those who have passed the Pyrenees have perished. I am very prone to think that the history of Bonaparte is at an end. I say no more, because I wish to muse awhile upon the result of these things.
I have contributed as far as in my power for such a glorious result, and my last commission, was that of being commissioned to receive the British troops, but among my services I do not inform you of my having been in company with our mutual friend, who is in the next room; a terrible preacher, upon the indispensable necessity of there being a central Junta, to avoid parties, still more terrible than the war; the formation of which has been accomplished. The president of which presides but for one month, and the same voters will elect another each month, and believing this to be correct, and that this union will save the country, from the great evils which threatened it; my mind rests with the hope of seeing a new government created, which will make us happy. What greater misfortune could happen to us, than that of being conquerors, to become again slaves! This thought caused me much sadness, that even the laurels of such great actions could not abstract me from the centre, where our felicity consists. They do not speak of electing a king, neither do I think they will, neither of a kind of government, if in case they do not return us, our beloved king.
Let us assure ourselves, of a government that will be respected, and which will respect the laws.
I believe it will be Almagro or its vicinity, where two voters will meet of each province, and for the present, the other Junta will remain as auxiliary to the supreme.
I can say no more, as the ideas rise and flow without order. Many hours would be requisite to inform you of all. Let each of our friends inform you of what they know, thus the labour will be divided, and pay the tribute which friendship imposes on us.
In praise of our beloved warriors, I cannot omit telling you, that they have discovered one of the greatest requisites, and that which strikes terror into the enemy, and that is, that they become inflamed and far from being daunted where they find the greatest danger. It is thus that the corps of Cuirassiers have been destroyed. The squadrons which we have of Gaviochistas, [a kind of Spearman,] have distinguished themselves, piercing with their terrible spear, cuirass, horseman and horse, so much so, that Gen. Dupont said that they were unequal arms for war.
I have omitted detailing the booty made, being upwards of 80 waggons, 4 thousand horse, cannon, &c. Our artillery is the boast of Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.
The following is an extract of a letter from an intelligent gentleman at Cadiz, to his friend in this city, dated
Cadiz, August 25.
"Our government has as yet come to no determination respecting the ships and property detained at Algeziras. We are promised a decision from one day to another, and I really believe it will be issued ere long. Their time however has been much taken up with the movement of the army to Madrid, and forming a plan of Campaign.
The success of the Spanish armies has been incredible. Saragossa has immortalized itself. The number and obstinate attacks on it, by the French, who kept pouring in fresh troops, have been most extraordinary; and it is more so, that they should have been defeated in every attack, and finally completely routed, and almost annihilated.
King Joseph I. has united his forces at Burgos, after evacuating Madrid, and robbing it of every thing valuable that could be carried off. The Spanish armies under Cuesta, Blake and Castanos, are advancing towards him, and he must retreat, unless large reinforcements arrive from France."
Burgos is the capital of Old Castile, and is situated partly on a mountain, and partly on the river Arlanza. It is 117 miles north of Madrid.
Translated for the Philadelphia Register, from the letter of a Spanish gentleman formerly employed by the government of Spain in the United States to his friend in this city.
Cadiz, August 22, 1808.
"The French are beaten in every part of Spain, and are flying in every direction—God is on our side. There are upwards of thirty thousand French prisoners of war now in this city, among whom are several Generals, five of their ships of the line, and one frigate, are also in our possession. The treacherous tyrant will be compelled to restore our young monarch Ferdinand the 7th, who will have glory to give peace and freedom to Europe."
BALTIMORE, October 8.
The brig ST. MICHAEL'S, arrived at Newpoint comfort last Thursday in 43 days from L'Orient. Mr. Nourse, the bearer of English despatches landed in Hampton Roads and proceeded to Washington. Mr. Wilder, bearer of despatches from France arrived here this morning in a pilot boat on his way to Washington.
The St. Michael's left L'Orient 21st Aug. no news had transpired. The brig is not yet up, her letters and papers remain on board.
We have been favored with an interview with Mr. Wilder, the Messenger from France; to whose politeness we are indebted for a file of the Journal De L'Empire , Paris papers to 15th August inclusive. Mr. W. with an integrity properly attaching to a public officer, felt in honor bound to disclose no secrets of state (if any he held) so that we are confined in our verbal information to the reports by passengers, &c. The substance of which appears to be, that neither France nor England evince any disposition to relax their edicts against us.
Napoleon was at Paris. On a hasty perusal of these papers, we find them, as usual, utterly silent on all political points. The heavy chain on the French press
forever precludes all such matter as would most interest the readers in other countries. Not a word is to be found on the subject of Spanish affairs, nor a sentence relative to the troubles in the interior of France. Nothing of the Volontaire conscript, dragged in chains to distant fields of slaughter.
NEW-YORK, October 1.
The brig Minerva, captain Noble, arrived last evening from Liverpool. She brings London papers of the 5th of August, from which we have made the following selections:
LONDON, August 5.
Bonaparte has issued another decree at Bayonne, which was received in Holland on the 27th ult. directing that all American property seized under the decree of the 21st November, should be immediately sold, and the proceeds paid into the Caisse Descompte, there to remain until the final issue of the pending negotiation between France and America.
The latest advices from Lisbon, represent the situation of the inhabitants as truly deplorable. They are exposed to the daily vengeance of a suspicious and inexorable police. The discovery of any communication with the patriots among whom are included all who reside beyond the range of the posts of Junot's army, is sufficient to bring upon the parties concerned in it the punishment of death. Such a few days ago, was the fate of M. da Horta Machado, a man of most respectable character, who formerly was minister from the Portuguese government to the court of St. Petersburg. He was shot in the great square, by order of Junot, for having in his possession a letter from Oporto, detailing the proceedings which took place in that city on the 18th of June, and the subsequent days. The greatest efforts were making by Junot, to increase his stock of provisions. With this view the inhabitants were exposed to continual domiciliary visits, and strong detachments were sent out in every direction, in search of every article of the kind.
FROM DUTCH PAPERS.
Private letters from Holland state, that strong symptoms of revolt against France have lately manifested themselves in several districts of Germany, and also in Poland. At Dantzic the people are said to have suddenly risen up on the French soldiery and put numbers of them to death. The final result of this insurrection is not mentioned. Dantzic is known to be very strongly garrisoned, and therefore the conspiracy must be formidable, or the irritation extreme, that could prompt the inhabitants to insurrection.
FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.
Dispatches were yesterday received from Sir James Saumarez in the Baltic. Report says that they announce the commencement of hostilities between the Austrians and French. Whether this be any part of the contents of the dispatches we know not; but a letter from an officer in the Baltic states, that Sir James, while cruising off Stralsund on the 26th ult. was informed that hostilities had actually commenced, a battle having been fought in Galicia, in which the French were intirely defeated.
The loss of the French is stated at 12,000 men, and the statement is said to have been confirmed by several vessels from Pilau. We state these rumours; but though we consider hostilities at no great distance between those powers, we doubt much whether they have yet commenced.
HAMBURGH, July 29.
We are assured that intelligence was received at Copenhagen on the 23d that the Russian general Buxhovden had surrounded and captured gen. Klingpor, with 12,000 men.
A rumour was also in circulation that the alliance between Sweden and England is interrupted.
A letter from the most respectable quarter at Gibraltar, of the 21st of Aug. says—"The news had just reached us of the surrender of the whole of the French army under Junot, at Lisbon, to the British forces, and Junot himself a prisoner to the Spaniards and Portuguese, who attempted to escape from his army. Five thousand French troops in two bodies, that were marching to relieve Junot, have been totally cut to pieces by the Spaniards—not a single individual spared.
A letter received in this city from Barracas, via Havana, dated September 2d, says—"A vessel arrived here this morning from St. Jago, brings advices that the inhabitants of St. Thomas are evacuating the island, on account of the great scarcity of provisions."
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in Spain resident there, dated 26th August.
"The papers I have seen from the U. States give me no hopes of the Embargo being taken off till Congress meet in November, when I really think that our government will have to take some decided steps one side or the other. The extraordinary changes in this country must no doubt influence in some measure the decision which our government may adopt.—The success of the Spaniards has been singular, and indeed so much so, that we who are on the spot, and in a great degree eye witness to the business can hardly credit it, how much more incredible must it appear to those who have always considered the Spaniards as the most degraded people upon earth, to find that they have been able with numbers and only half armed to completely beat the conquerors of the world!
"Saragossa has made itself immortal by its resistance against thirteen attacks of the Flower of the French army commanded by one of its boasted chiefs. Saragossa is defended by a trifling wall, more intended to prevent smuggling, than for defence. In the last attack, no longer able to withstand the impetuous ardor of the French troops, they let them into the city; and when about 8000 had advanced a considerable distance, fire was put to trains of powder leading to mines placed under the street where the French were, and above 6000 were destroyed—Above 1000 women fell fighting and the inhabitants came to a determination of setting fire to the whole town, in preference to giving it up to the French. After the last attack the few remaining troops fled; and we are assured that the province of Arragon is also cleared of Frenchmen.
"Joseph is at Burgos, having evacuated Madrid. We are this day confidently told that he has began his march to France; but that all Biscay being in arms, he has been obliged to return to Burgos, where he will shortly be surrounded, and if he does not take care, made prisoner.
"We have nothing from France; but the slowness of the French troops coming in, it is pretty generally supposed, that Bonaparte has got his hands full. Should the North of Europe rise, he may be made to regret his infamous conduct towards this country.
"We have no certain accounts from Lisbon; but we are very glad that we are not to have any English troops in Spain. The Spaniards in fact do not want any other aid than money and ammunition—they have more men than they can arm; and combined armies never have done anything. With the Spaniards the French cannot much intrigue, and alone they have no reason to fear any dissensions."
Another letter from Cadiz, says "On the arrival of Gen. Dupont at port St. Mary's, a town situated on the Bay of Cadiz, in consequence of the discovery (among his baggage) of some church plate, which had been plundered from Cordova, the populace assembled, and in a tumultuous manner, drove off the soldiers who had the charge of the baggage, which they completely ransacked, and carried off every thing which was valuable, and particularly a great quantity of gold and silver vessels, belonging to the cathedral of Cordova.
Dupont, in a letter to the Governor, demands restitution. The Governor replied—"I have received your letter of yesterday, reclaiming the baggage, &c, destroyed by the populace of St. Mary, and invoking the honor of the Spanish nation. I detest the conduct of the criminals, and I am anxious for the glory of Spain; but your own proceedings have occasioned it; and it could never have been my intention, or that of the Supreme Junta, that your excellency should carry out of Spain the fruit of your rapacity, cruelty, and irreligion. Is there in reason any principle, which prescribes
good faith and humanity towards an army, which entered the kingdom under the mask of friendship, and robbed it of its sovereign; at the same time extorting homage to a new one by violence, profaning the sacred temples, and carrying desolation into the royal palace, the towns and the villages. I will, however, endeavour to secure your personal safety and subsistence, and will take the most effectual measures for your speedy transportation to France, &c."
PHILADELPHIA, October 3.
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman employed by the government of the U. States in France to his friend in this city.—As the letter has been placed in our hands, we vouch for its authenticity. Let Americans reflect on its contents, and they must bitterly lament the hour when they confided their dearest interests to the guidance of men, who were neither qualified by political integrity, nor personal talent to direct them.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE REGISTER.
PARIS, July 24.
"Hopes were for a long time entertained, that an amelioration in the measures adopted towards the U. S. would take place; that hope seems now to be abandoned: and under the existing system, Commerce with this country must be relinquished; it having been openly and firmly declared, that any vessel having been visited at sea, under any pretext whatever, shall be confiscated. Those which are in any of the ports under the vast influence of this country have been seized, the greater part have been condemned, and the rest will soon share the same fate, the condemnations daily going on. Here they connect an idea of commerce with England, and the total annihilation of the first is determined on, as preparatory to the destruction of the last. Late events have, however, much disconcerted this plan; the massacre, which have taken place in a neighbouring kingdom, have estranged all hearts there as well as here; and as I suppose the Spanish Colonies will, under some form or other, become independent of the mother country, our commerce will naturally go into that channel, to make up for the one we have lost. In America it will be said, that the Continent of Europe will not be able to go without the produce of the Colonies: be assured, that the iron-hand which directs all here will make this possible. Already the common classes have abandoned the usage of these articles; and the consumption is so diminished, that prices are now lower than they were three months since; even when they shall become very dear they will be used by the rich as luxuries; and enough will be procured from the Levant, with some captures to supply them. Much cotton is procured from Asia, and it has been planted with great success in the South of Europe."
From an official account of the battle of Baylen, it is stated that Dupont's division that surrendered to General Castanos, consisted of 8243 men, with their arms, colours and eagles; and that of Bedell's division consisted of 10,000, with their arms and artillery. The French lost 2,300 killed on the field of battle, and 400 wounded. The Spaniards had 243 killed, and 735 wounded.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 7.
Mr. Manuel has just arrived at St. Louis, from the neighbourhood of the Rocky Mountains, with a valuable cargo of furs—he informs that the Indians up the Missouri are peaceably inclined; that the Richarees are sorry for their behaviour to Lieutenant Pryor, when on his way to the Mandane nation—We learn that a company is forming at New-York, with a capital of 100,000 dollars, to erect a chain of factories up the Missouri and down the Columbia rivers to the Pacific Ocean, to export their furs to China, from the mouth of the latter river.

There are other Counties yet to be heard from; the result is expected to be favourable to Federal Republicanism.
Philip B. Key, a Federalist, is re-elected to Congress by a vast majority.
At a Meeting of a number of Federal Republicans of the County of Hampshire, convened in the Town of Romney, for the purpose of taking into consideration certain Resolutions entered into by the Federal Republicans of the County of Berkeley, and forwarded to them by their Corresponding Committee.
Col. Moses Rawlings was called to the Chair, and
Samuel M'Guire appointed Secretary.
The following resolutions were submitted and unanimously agreed to:
Resolved , that this meeting do highly approve the proceedings of their fellow citizens of Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, respecting the selection of a proper character to represent this district in the next Congress of the United States.
Resolved , that it is the opinion of this meeting, that of the nomination to them submitted, "success being the object," Major James Stephenson from a variety of reasons will be the most likely to succeed in an election in this County, and that we will collectively and individually, honorably exert ourselves to ensure the election of the said James Stephenson .

Advices from the western parts of Virginia state, that Mr. Monroe's ticket of electors will receive an almost unanimous vote in that country. It is believed with common exertion Mr. Madison may find himself disappointed in the Virginia vote.
Mr. Nourse arrived on the ninth instant at the seat of Government, with dispatches from our Minister in England. Mr. N. we learn had a short passage, but he utterly refuses to communicate any intelligence.
The answer of Mr. Jefferson to the dissent of the Republicans from the town of Boston, relative to the embargo, puts the question of raising the embargo, until raised by the people, beyond all doubt. He declares, in so many words, that while the edicts of France and England are in force, "no American can ever consent to a return of peaceful intercourse with those who maintain them."
Mr. Jefferson says to the Dissenters of Boston: "The general capture of our vessels would have been war on one side, which reason and interest would repel by war and reprisal on the other."
Now it is a notorious fact, that for a twelvemonth past, there has been "a general capture of our vessels" by France; which, according to Mr. Jefferson himself, is war on their side. What has he done to repel it by reprisal on ours? He has given to French privateers facilities in our ports which were denied to our own citizens, and has made his reprisals upon his own people, by subjecting them to a ruinous embargo, and a prohibition cutting them off from a market, as well by land as by water.
HARTFORD, September 28.
CONNECTICUT ELECTIONS.
On Monday the 19th inst. the free-men of Connecticut met in their respective towns, for the purpose of choosing their Representative in the National and State Legislature, and of making out a nomination for which in April next, are to be chosen, the Assistants or Counsellors for the next year. The present delegates in Congress, viz. Champion, Dana, Davenport, Moseley, Pitkin, Sturges and Talmadge , are all rechosen without opposition, as the nomination from which they were selected, consisted entirely of federalists. The federal ticket for nomination of assistants has wholly prevailed, and with an increased majority. In the House of Representatives consisting of 199 members, there will be 149 Federalists and 50 democrats. Such a federal majority has not been in six years.
We again congratulate the county of Litchfield on a display of pure unmixed federalism. That large and respectable county, composed of substantial freeholders, has not chosen a single democratic member to the Assembly, nor had the democratic ticket for nomination, a majority in any one town. To such men we must look, and on them depend, if we would maintain a republican government.
A letter from Salem mentions, that on trying the constitutionality of the embargo law, before the District Court of the United States, in the case of a vessel that had been seized for a violation of them, eleven out of twelve of the jury, were in favour of the defendant. The jury not agreeing a new trial must take place.
On the 3rd inst. the District Court of U. S. resumed its session in Salem, when his honor the judge pronounced the constitutionality of the Embargo laws. [ Nat. Int. ]
A gentleman of respectability who came passenger in the America states, that the British government had made a proposition in form to Bonaparte, to rescind their orders in council provided he would revoke his decrees; but that he peremptorily refused. The condemnation of American property continued to go on with increased vigour in France, and hopes were not entertained of the recovery of a single ship or cargo held in sequestration. [ U. S. Gazette. ]
Bonaparte has had the following return made to him of the number of Jews in all the different parts of the globe, viz. in the Turkish empire, 1,000,000; in Persia, China, India, on the east and west of the Ganges, 300,000; in the west of Europe, Africa, and America, 1,700,000; making a population of 3,000,000.
Elevated Warfare. —A singular species of duel has lately taken place at Paris. M. Grandpre and M. Le Pique, having quarrelled about a celebrated Opera dancer, who was kept by the former, but had been discovered in an intrigue with the latter, a challenge ensued. Being both men of elevated
minds, they agreed to fight in balloons. On the day appointed the parties met at a field adjoining the Thuilleries, where their respective balloons were, ready to receive them. Each, attended by his second, ascended his car, with loaded blunderbushes, as pistols could not be expected to be efficient in their probable situations. A multitude attended, hearing of the balloons, but little dreaming of the purpose; the Parisians merely looked for the novelty of a balloon race. At 9 o'clock the cords were cut, and the balloons ascended majestically, amidst the shouts of the spectators. The wind was moderate, blowing from N. N. W. and they kept, as far as could be judged, within eighty yards of each other. When they had mounted to the height of about nine hundred yards, M. Le Pique fired his piece ineffectually; almost immediately after, returned by Mr. Grandpre, and perforated his adversary's balloon; the consequence of which was its rapid descent, and Mr. Le Pique and his second, were both dashed to pieces on a house top, over which the balloon fell. The victorious Grandpre then mounted aloft in the grandest style, and descended safe, with his second, about seven leagues from the place of ascension. [ London pap. of July 24. ]
A certain cure for the Dysentery in the worst stages of the disease.
This remedy is very simple; and is communicated by one who has experienced its good effects, and known it practised on many others with like success, when given over by skilful physicians; and as this is the season of the year when its prevalency, is greater than at any other, it is hoped that Printers of newspapers will give it publicity. The receipt is—one gill of sweet oil, one gill of W. I. Rum, and one gill of W. I. Molasses.—Simmer these together, and stir them till well mixed. The quantity to be taken is, for a grown person one table spoonful every hour, and children a due proportion till relieved.
THE MORALIST.
The force of habit, and the extreme danger of fixing any bad habits, particularly that of Drunkenness , may be happily illustrated by moralizing the following piece of natural history:
"On the coast of Norway is a dreadful whirl-pool, called by the natives Maelstrom , which signifies the naval of the sea. The body of the waters which form this whirlpool is extended in a circle above thirteen miles in circumference. In the midst of this stands a rock, against which the tide, in its ebb, is dashed with considerable fury, when it instantly swallows up all things which come within the sphere of its violence.
"No skill in the mariner, no strength of rowing, can work an escape. The sailor at the helm at first finds the ship go in a current opposite to his intentions—his vessel's motions, tho' slow in the beginning, becomes every moment more rapid; it goes round in circles still narrower and narrower, till at last it is dashed against the rock and entirely disappears."
And thus it fares with the hapless youth that falls under any vicious habit. At first he indulges with caution and timidity, and struggles against the stream of vicious inclinations.—But every relapse carries him further down the current, (the violence of which increases) and brings him nearer to the fatal rock in the midst of the whirlpool, 'till, at length stupified and subdued, he yields without a struggle, and makes a shipwreck of conscience, of interest, of reputation, and of everything that is dear and valuable.
It should also be observed, on the other hand, that good habits are powerful as well as bad ones: therefore, no better advice can be given to youth, than the following, " Choose the most rational and best way of living, and habit will make it the most agreeable. "
OBSERVATION.
It is a better employment of the understanding, to bear the misfortunes that actually befall us, than to penetrate those that may.

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 scarce 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; he 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.
