ROMAN CATHOLIC PETITION.
The following is an authentic report of the Speech of the Bishop of Norwich, in the House of Lords on the 27th of May last, as it will be given in "Cobbett's Parliamentary Debates."
"My Lords—I rise, for the first time in my life, to address your lordships, and I rise with unaffected reluctance; not because I entertain the smallest doubt, respecting either the expediency, the policy, or the justice of the measure now under consideration; but, because, to a person in my situation, it must be exceedingly painful, (however firmly persuaded he may be in his own mind) to find himself impelled by a sense of duty, to maintain an opinion, directly the reverse of which is supported by so many wise and good men who belong to the profession, and who sit upon the same bench with him.
Important occasions however, sometimes arise, on which an individual may be called upon to avow his own sentiments explicitly and unequivocally, without any deference to the judgment of others. Such an occasion I conceive the present to be, and shall without further apology trouble your lordships with a few remarks.
I have considered, with all the care and attention, of which I am capable, the various arguments which are urged against the petition, in favor of the Catholics of Ireland, which has, this day, for the second time, been presented and supported by the noble baron on the other side of the house, with his usual abilities, and at the same time, with that well known regard for the real interest of the established church, for its peace, its security, its honor, and its prosperity, which forms, and has always formed so distinguished a part in the character of that noble lord.
These objections, my lords, numerous as they are said to be, may all of them I think, be reduced under four heads. In the first place, it is asserted, or rather strongly insinuated, that the religious tenets of the catholics, are of such a nature as, per se, to exclude those who hold them from the civil, and military situations, to which they aspire.
It is next said, that if this were not the case, these situations are matters of favor, not of right, and therefore, the catholics have no just cause to complain that they are excluded from them. In the third place, we are told, that if it were admitted, that the measure were, abstractedly considered, just and right; it would be highly inexpedient, to repeal statutes, which were passed with much deliberation; and are considered by many, as the bulwarks of the constitution, in church and state. And, lastly, there are some, who contend, that if there were no other objection, the words of the Coronation Oath present an insuperable bar to the claims of the catholics.
controversially true than an other, it is this: if an individual, or a body of men, will give to the government under which they live such a security upon oath, as that government itself prescribes; if, moreover, they maintain no opinions destructive of moral obligation, or subversive of civil society; their speculative opinions of a religious nature, can never with justice or with reason, be urged as excluding them from civil and military situations. The catholics, my lords, give this security; and having given it, the legislature itself has declared, that they ought to be considered "as good and loyal subjects; as such, therefore, in my view of the subject, they are unquestionably entitled to the privileges which they claim.
"But it is inexpedient," we are told, "to repeal statutes, which were passed with much deliberation, and are considered by many as the bulwarks of the constitution in church and state."
I may however be permitted to observe, that under any government, however free, though peculiar circumstances may perhaps call for statutes of a very strict, and even of a very severe nature, for any limited period of time, yet no wise statesman would, I imagine, wish those statutes to remain un repealed, a moment after the circumstances which occasioned them cease to exist.
and with respect to the Papal Power, not a single person present, apprehends, I am thoroughly persuaded, any danger from it; in truth that once gigantic power— magni stat nominis umbra —and nothing more. Where, then, can be the objection to granting the Petition of the Catholics of Ireland? A petition founded on the immutable principles of reason and of justice; a petition also which worldly policy loudly calls on us to accede to in the present very serious crisis—a crisis which demands the union of the wise and brave of every description and of every denomination; that cordial union, I mean, which is most assuredly the best support, and indeed the only secure bulwark of every government upon earth.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1808.
By Capt. Walker's Packet, from Baltimore, we received in a letter from a friend at that city, a Philadelphia paper of the 3d inst. containing the following important article:
Yesterday arrived ship America, Lelar, from Amsterdam. She brought out despatches for our executive, which she landed at New-Castle to be forwarded to the seat of government. On her passage September 11, in lat. 40, long. 36, N. was boarded by the English frigate Jamaica, and treated politely—September 17, lat. 50 N. was boarded by the English frigate Eurydice, 9 days from Lisbon, for Halifax; the boarding officer informed that Gen. JUNOT CAPITULATED TO THE ENGLISH AND PORTUGUESE PATRIOTS, and ALL PORTUGAL WAS IN POSSESSION OF THE PATRIOTS AND THE ENGLISH: AND THAT THE RUSSIAN FLEET lying in the Tagus, SURRENDERED TO THE ENGLISH AND WERE SENT TO ENGLAND!!!!
Our correspondent says, that the above ship left Amsterdam the 18th of August; the passengers state that the FRENCH ARMY HAD ACTUALLY MARCHED AGAINST THE AUSTRIANS.
We may daily expect the official details of the surrender of Junot, and the Russian fleet, as the frigate has no doubt long since arrived at Halifax. The Eurydice must have left Lisbon on the eighth of September. The second division of the British army consisting of 15000 men sailed from England on the first of August, and would have a passage of eight or ten days. The arrival of that force united to the armies of Generals Wellesley, and Spencer, must have made the British force in Portugal, upwards of 30,000 men, a force, which with the Portuguese, must have rendered resistance on the part of Junot, a useless sacrifice of lives.
This intelligence is highly important, and consoling to the friends of justice and liberty, in every part of the world. The deliverance of a whole nation from the iron yoke of despotism, cannot be viewed with indifference. This event will also have a powerful influence on the affairs of Spain, as nothing will prevent an army of British and Portuguese of nearly 70000 men from advancing directly towards Madrid.
A rupture between France and Austria is an event that has been expected for some time.
It appears that Buonaparte is not disposed to relax in the severity of his measures towards the United States.
Mr. Purviance, the bearer of despatches from France, has landed from the St. Michael, and passed through Richmond, on Wednesday morning. We have understood, since our last, that the St. Michael left L'Orient on the 20th of August.
The circumstance of this vessel going a second time to France, is calculated to produce some speculations. To us, one of two things it appears has been the cause— Some explanations have been made between our Ministers in Paris and London, at the instance of the British and French governments, relative to a revocation of the Decrees and Orders.—Or she returned to France, with a view that measures might be concerted with the government of that country, preparatory to a war with Great Britain.
The Democrats have gained a complete victory in the elections of Baltimore city, and county, which has been a subject of great exultation.
One of the members of the Monroe Corresponding Committee, being absent from this city for two days previous to the publication of the Monroe Electoral Ticket, and having but just returned, a general interview and conference among them, was rendered impracticable at the time of its publication. It seems that the committee committed an error by introducing the names of Dr. Lucas of Mecklenburg, and Dr. Mackie of Frederick. The error, however, has been rectified by substituting the names of Peter Bailey for the first, and Henry St. George Tucker, for the last mentioned county.
Editors who have published the Ticket, are requested to re-publish it corrected. [Spirit of '76.

We understand a vessel has arrived at Philadelphia, from London, bringing late advices. No Philadelphia papers have been received by to-day's mail. A letter from London by this arrival, dated August 8, repeats the intelligence before received from Cadiz, of Dupont's surrender. It states the number of the prisoners to be 12,000 of his own troops, and 8000 reinforcements. The probability of a war between France and Austria is also mentioned. North American.

OF SPAIN.
We this day publish a letter of Mr. Whitbread's with great pleasure. We hope that Mr. Jefferson is very susceptible of blushing, deeply blushing when he compares the glowing sentiments of a violent jacobin and opposition member of the British parliament in favour of the patriots, with his feelings and the open language of his party against their glorious efforts to emancipate their country.
N. Y. Gaz.
Mr. Whitbread's Letter to Lord Holland.
Mr. Whitbread has published a letter to Lord Holland on the present situation of Spain. The sentiments of this gentleman, in relation to a subject the most interesting that has come before the world, cannot but be deemed of considerable importance; and we therefore give them as far as we are able, that degree of publicity which they deserve.
"Since that period" (that is, since the passing of the appropriation act) "however short the interval, the face of affairs has greatly changed. News has arrived as cheering to the heart of man as ever was announced to an admiring world.—Every part of Spain, not absolutely occupied by the French troops, has separately, and without any possibility of previous concert, and yet, as if by common consent, declared itself against the injustice, cruelty, and oppression of the French emperor, and for the prince of Asturias, under the title of Ferdinand VII. The nation, in the absence of its government, without breaking forth into those furious excesses of sanguinary licentiousness which have disgraced the good cause of other countries, and bro't the name of liberty into disrepute, is now committed against the power of France. The publick discussion of the passing events can no longer be injurious, by fanning a flame which might have been kindled to the fruitless destruction of the virtuous and the brave; and cannot now render abortive the plans adopted for their success."
"After the communication made by Lord Castlereagh to the Lord Mayor, I firmly expected some application to parliament for an additional vote of credit; or at least some message from the crown. When such proceedings were out of the question, on the day of the prorogation itself, I expressed myself shortly on the subject, in my place—but the momentary expectation of interruption prevented my saying all that I wished upon any of the topics, and from entering upon some of them altogether.—From what then passed, I found I had been before misunderstood. Upon such a subject I cannot endure misrepresentation, the consequence of misunderstanding, and therefore I address myself through you to the publick."
"The whole undivided heart of Great-Britain, and of Ireland, nay, of France itself, and of the world, must be with Spain. Would to God the whole undivided strength of the world could be combined at this moment against the armies of her oppressor, in Spain!—Ministers had declared that no mixed interests should interfere; that all the exertions should be for Spain, and Spain alone; and I am happy to acknowledge that the part of the king's speech, which relates to Spain, bears out the professions which had been before made. It has my unqualified approbation. The policy is sound, and the expressions could not have been better chosen."
"Arms, ammunition, money, let them be poured in with a hand as liberal as can be conceived.—All they ask for! and nothing they do not ask for. If an army should be required, let no consideration of rank or favor interfere in the selection of the officer to command it. The stake is too precious to be risked in inadequate hands. The country has a high opinion of military talents, the gallantry, and the other qualifications of the officer, now in Ireland, ready to embark with a military force. May the appointment of a general for any larger force be equally judicious, and equally acceptable to the public.—Thus shall we render ourselves worthy of being the supporters of Spanish valor, and Spanish virtue. Thus shall we render the most effectual services to this empire and to the world.—This cause is indeed the cause of justice and humanity. If it prospers—stupendously glorious will be the victory. If it fails, their conqueror will have obtained any thing rather than honor; but the Spaniards of this day will be recorded to the latest posterity as a people deserving of better fate, and they will have afforded a noble example for the imitation of the inhabitants of these Islands, when their battle, the last battle, the last battle of the European world, shall be fought."
"I come to the other topic, on which I did not touch on Monday for fear of interruption, and on which I must explain myself. At the conclusion of my speech on the act of appropriation, I declared that I still adhered to the opinions I had down on the 29th of February last, when I moved a resolution in the house of commons, that there is nothing in the present state of the war which ought to preclude his majesty from embracing any fair opportunity of acceding to, or commencing a negotiation with the enemy, on a footing of equality, for the termination of hostilities on terms of equity and honour." I maintain that opposition now; and because I reasserted it in the house of commons on that day I allude to, it has been falsely and basely stated, that I advised the purchase of peace, by the abandonment of the heroic Spaniards to their fate. God forbid! a notion so detestable never entered my imagination. Perish the man who could entertain it! Perish this country, rather than its safety should be owing to a compromise so horribly iniquitous! My feelings at the time I spoke, ran in a direction totally opposite to any thing so disgusting and abominable."
"I am not, however, afraid to say, that the present is a moment in which I think negotiation ought to be proposed to the emperor of the French by G. Britain with the certainty of this great advantage, that, if the negotiation should be refused we should be at least sure of being right in the eyes of God and man—an advantage which, in my opinion, we have never yet possessed, from the commencement of the contest to the present hour, and the value of which is far beyond all calculation."
"If the emancipation of Spain, the enthronement of Ferdinand VII. and the amelioration of the government of that country, through the means of the legitimate organ of their Co'tes, or any other of their own choosing, could be effected without bloodshed; is there a man existing, who would not prefer the accomplishment of these objects by the means of the negotiation rather than by the sword? If Mr. Fox were happily alive, and had power commensurate with his ability, I see a bare possibility that his genius might turn this crisis to such great account. Nothing should be done but in concert with the Spaniards, and the complete evacuation of Spain by the French armies, the abstinence from all interference in her internal arrangement, the freedom of the royal family, might be the conditions of the negotiation. There is no humiliation in such a proposal. What a grateful opportunity would at the same time present itself of making a voluntary proffer of restrictions, which when demanded, it might, perhaps be difficult to accede to! What a moment to attempt the salvation of Sweden, and the reëstablishment of the tranquility of the North!"
"All this I had in contemplation at the time I said I should not think it improper now to offer a negotiation for peace. I should be desirous of conveying these terms to the world. If they should be accepted, is there a statesman who could doubt of their propriety, of their justice, or their honour? If rejected, is there a free spirit in the universe that would not join in applauding the justice and moderation of Great Britain, in condemning the violence, the injustice, and ambition of the emperor of the French."
From the Baltimore Federal Gazette. PORT OF HARWICH.
These are to certify, that the ship or vessel called the Sophia, of Baltimore, Samuel Carman, master, is a square sterned snow, no gallery, but with a figure head, and measures one hundred and thirty-four and twenty-three ninety-fifths tons, navigated by ten men (master included) and not mounted with any guns, bound from Rotterdam to Baltimore, with six puncheons, containing seven hundred and twenty gallons Geneva, on which his majesty's export duty imposed by act 48th, Geo. 3d, chap. 26, has been duly paid at this port, arrived here on the 12th day of July, 1808, in consequence of his majesty's orders in council, dated 11th Nov. 1807, and is now desirous of proceeding on her voyage, to the original port of her destination.
These are therefore, in pursuance of his majesty's said order, to authorise and permit the above named vessel to proceed with her cargo, accordingly, to the said port of Baltimore.

I, John Gill, Notary Publick, by letters patent under the great seal of this state of Maryland; commissioned and duly qualified residing in the city of Baltimore, in state aforesaid, do hereby certify, attest, and make known, that on the day of the date hereof, before me personally appeared Samuel Carman, master of the brig Sophia of Baltimore, of the burthen of 137 3/5 tons register admeasurement, and made oath on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, That he sailed in and with the said brig on the 9th day of July last, from Rotterdam bound direct for this port of Baltimore; having on board the said brig, six pipes of gin, which he had taken in at said port of Rotterdam, and no other merchandise, and sufficient sand ballast for the voyage, that he proceeded on the said voyage, and on the 10th day of July, being off the Isle of Schowen, having the same day discharged his pilot, he about three o'clock, P. M. was boarded by an English gun brig, the commander of which ordered his vessel to England to pay duties on his cargo, that on the 11th he arrived at Harwich, and there was compelled to pay a duty of 8 pence sterling per gallon on gin—and the amount of pilotage, light money, tonnage, &c. the same as if the said vessel had been bound for that port—and on payment thereof license was given him to enable him to pursue his voyage to Baltimore.
Of which an act having been of me requested, I have granted these presents to serve and avail as occasion may require. In testimony whereof, the said Deponent has hereunto subscribed his name, and I the said notary, have hereunto set my hand and affixed my notarial seal, the 30th day of Sept. in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eight.

Yesterday the President of the United States, arrived from Monticello. Mr. Madison, secretary of state, Mr. Gallatin, secretary of the treasury, and Mr. Smith, secretary of the navy, arrived last evening.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.
READ! AMERICANS. France declared we should not be neutral; Buonaparte declared war for us. But we would not agree to it. He then issued his decrees, prohibiting
our trade to Europe; he has admirers and friends here. We have given many instances of the outrages committed by France. Read the following; see your property stolen because a British cruiser happened to speak our vessel. Will you enter into ALLIANCE with these plunderers?
Extract of a letter from Mr. T. H. Backer, dated Amsterdam, 22d June last, to his correspondent in this city.
"I had the pleasure to address you the 20th inst. and am sorry to be obliged to inform you, that late accounts from Paris, of the 16th inst. mentions, that by a decree of the court of prizes there, the American ship Aurora, capt. L. Dashiell, of Baltimore, has been condemned with her cargo; and that the lawyer who pleads her case, has immediately appealed from that judgment before the council of state: as yet, I have no accounts thereof of the claimants, Messrs. Dukamel and Guillon, of Morlaix, but must expect to get them ere long, when I shall be better able to judge, together with the other consignees, what is best to be done in this unhappy business.—I could have wished to give you more favorable information, and never expected the judgment to be unfavorable for you; but it seems to have been rendered in consequence of a general measure now newly adopted, as a number of American vessels have been confiscated in France."
October 3.
FROM THE HAVANNA.
We are indebted to the politeness of a mercantile friend for the following extracts from letters, written by gentlemen of the first intelligence on commercial subjects:
Extract of a letter from Antonio de Frias and Co. dated Havanna, Sept. 14, 1808.
"We enclose you herewith a memorandum of goods now in demand, and those most likely to answer after the embargo is off. How that impolitic measure is suffered to continue in the United States, is wonderful to the people of this country: although we do not want any thing from your states but flour and boards, we still might have carried on an extensive trade in other articles as well as those two necessities, which the British will now very soon enjoy, but for your foolish embargo, which it appears, from accounts per Osage, has had no other effect than to produce from the tyrant of the world another insulm, decree. The president of your states will shortly receive a communication from this government relative to that point."
Another letter, dated Havanna, 16th of September, to the same house, exhibits alarming testimony that our long protracted embargo will be productive of serious injury to the West India commerce of this country. The writer says, "Havanna having been opened to the English, considered now as an ally, we have already several merchantmen from Jamaica from Providence and from Halifax. The Spaniards begin to carry on their trade under their own flag to Spain direct; and several expeditions have been undertaken which will yield a great profit.—Thus you will perceive commerce has changed very much to the disadvantage of America." Upon this revival colonial produce appears to have risen considerably: Prices—Coffee, 16 to 18 dollars: Sugar, 3 to 5; Flour, 36; Claret Wine, 50.
We have been informed by former accounts, that in Cuba and other parts of the West Indies, the inhabitants were beginning to turn their attention, wherever practicable, to the raising of grain. It is also well known that the inhabitants of Canada and Nova Scotia are growing rich on the trade rightfully attached to these United States. We sincerely pray for the appearance of a Saving Spirit to protect and cherish the trade and independence of our country.
PHILADELPHIA, October 2.
Yesterday arrived at this port the last sailing ship America, captain Lelar, 42 days from Amsterdam. Captain Lelar left Amsterdam the 17th August, by special permission obtained through the agency of gen. Armstrong, for the purpose of bringing out Mr. Baker, the bearer of despatches to France by the St. Michael. Mr. Baker landed at New-Castle, and proceeded immediately for Washington. Gen. Armstrong had made repeated application to the French government without success, for permission for a vessel to bring out Mr. Baker. He had therefore to proceed to Holland, where after much importunity, this conveyance was allowed; the embargo in Holland being rigidly maintained. Capt. Lelar informs that the condemnations of American vessels and property by the prize courts at Paris were very numerous.
Nothing which came under their cognizance escaped. In Holland there existed a total depression of every kind of business.
October 3.
WARD ELECTIONS.
The following is an accurate statement of the result of the ward elections, held on Friday last, agreeably to law, for the choice of two inspectors of the general election, and of an assessor, for each of the wards of this city, to wit:
   Wards. Federalists. Democrats.     1. Upper Delaware, 187 223   2. Lower Delaware, 186 220   3. High Street, 226 48   4. Chesnut, 193 111   5. Walnut, 175 140   6. Dock, 132 37   7. New-Market, 238 194   8. North Mulberry, 80 190   9. South Mulberry, 205 325   10. North, 192 179   11. Middle, 139 83   12. South, 149 65   13. Locust, 122 182   14. Cedar, 128 219   Totals, 2443 2321  
From the above statement it will appear, that notwithstanding their opponents have exerted every nerve the result has been highly brilliant to the constitutionalists. They have lost it true, one ward less this year, but they have lost it by the most abominable villainy, and the citizens are determined to punish by legal means the perpetrators of fraud and corruption. The constitutionalists have reduced their opponents in Southwark and the Northern Liberties, to small majorities. Mr. Ross will have a handsome majority at the general election.
The constitutionalists have succeeded in 18 townships in Delaware county—the Carolinas in three. The new corps raised in the states eastward of the Hudson, are on their march for the north west frontier, under lieut. col. Whitting, of the regiment

of infantry from Massachusetts; the companies of which we have heard on that route are, Captain Easterbrook's, Limb, Hutchins, Whitney, Byers.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser.
HUMOROUS.
A Petition to remove the Embargo.
At a very numerous, patriotic, and truly respectable meeting of the BARBERS of New-York, in legal Caucus assembled at their Wig-wam, in Carling Tongs-Street, the following Address, Petition, Memorial, or Remonstrance, was (with very few dissenting voices) approbated, and agreed to be presented to his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, DESBORUS the FIRST, of all the Barbers, KING; Defender of PACKWOOD'S RAZOR STROP, and so forth—disapproving of the Embargo, and the late Measures of his Government.
MOST "PHILOSOPHICAL" SIR, Nearly twelve months have elapsed since it first pleased your most puissant MAJESTY to humbug us, for the amusement and emolument of our rival tonsors—during this gloomy interval we have, like true and faithful BARBERS, cheerfully submitted to many privations and sacrifices, in the hope that this, your Majesty's STRONG MEASURE, would ultimately have brought our enemies on their Marrow Bones and Haunches; but in this we have been woefully disappointed: "and to be longer silent would be criminal"—We humbly conceive that your Embargo is a Measure impolitick as it is imbecile; inasmuch that it has not, in any one respect, answered the end proposed: our barbarous rivals are excelling in a prospect of its continuance, while our Pomatum is growing rancid, and perishing on the shelves:
Our Powder is growing musty & Our Razors are getting rusty; And OURSELVES—CRUSTY;
While Shaving Boxes on Shaving Boxes remain in tiers, the eloquent, tho' silent pleaders against the infamy of commercial suicide—The arm of industry is palsied—"The mouth of Labour is closed"—The very countenances of our blocks appear to have an usual length: and every Hair of our Perukes stand erect!!
We have ever advocated the opinion, that the Shaving Box and Razor were like commerce and agriculture, destined to travel together hand in hand; but it appears as if your Majesty was determined to annihilate the Shaving Box and turn the keen edge of the Razor, thereby your brother BARBERS and Petitioners completely in the Suds.
We are really apprehensive, that should your MAJESTY be pleased to comply with the Prayer of your Petitioners (by instantly revoking the Death Warrant to our prosperity) that many of our best customers have been so long in the habit of shaving themselves, they will continue, through choice, what was at first dictated by necessity: and we shall have to mourn the fatal consequences of our cursed EMBARGO to the end of time. Your MAJESTY seems, on all occasions, ready to saddle the burthen of our misfortunes on the "TIMES WE LIVE IN." For our parts, we cannot see any just reason for quarrelling so perpetually with the "times:" they are as they ever have been, chequered with good and evil; and nations, like individuals, are left free to make their choice between modern French Tonorship, and the practice of the OLD ENGLISH SCHOOL: while we live in the world we must, in some measure accommodate ourselves to the prejudices and caprices of our Friends and Customers; nor can any just reason be assigned why we should insist on plucking two or three favorite hairs from the chin of Mr. BULL, of which he has always been so rigidly tenacious; that, as to parting with a single hair of them, he would as soon think of parting with HIS life, and will defend them while a Razor or a SHAVING BOX is remaining in his shop.
We do not hesitate to declare, that our embarrassments are not computable to the times we live in; but to a glaring predilection for French perfumery, and a rooted enmity and antipathy to British Powder, of which it is well known your Majesty was never able to support the SMELL—We therefore humbly pray, that your MAJESTY may not continue longer wrangling with the times, but will be pleased "to take time by the fore lock," and at least partially lift the Embargo; that we may be enabled to send our surplus Razors to the brave SPANISH PATRIOTS, who are now engaged in a similar contest to that which marks the most eventful period of our barbarous history, a struggle by which our ancestors hoped they had perpetuated our dear bought freedom and national independence.
And your petitioners further pray, that all those OFFICE HOLDERS, &c. who are so zealously attached to the embargo, as to approve of its continuance, may be immediately removed, in order that they may have perfect leisure to contemplate the embargo's sweets, and perfect freedom to enjoy, to the fullest extent, the rich variety of the delights resulting from our hum-bug's situation, and in the same proportion as those of our fellow citizens who have never had the misfortune to be burdened with an Office.
And your petitioners most ardently pray, that you will be pleased to dismiss forever from your Councils, those MANSONS of Diplomacy, who advised your MAJESTY to sanction an act so impolitic and oppressive as a perpetual Embargo: And we further pray, that your Majesty will cast forever from your bosom, Napoleon the CUT-THROAT, the most BARBER-ous of Barbers, and the SCOURGE of Man.
Signed and approved by ELEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED.
To his Imperial MAJESTY, DESBORUS the First, at his PALACE, No 92 Broad-Way—who has on hand, a large assortment of Patriotic Bands elegant Mandarin and Saragossa Wigs—and an endless variety of Perfumery, lately received from the Shaving Shop of JOHN BULL, the Embargo notwithstanding—where the second edition of HUG-GINIANA is now ready for delivery

The expectation of completing the amount of the Jockey Club Subscription, has prevented the advertising those races earlier: it has, however, been generally understood when they would be, and as that subscription expresses particularly that the races shall be on the above days, the prospects are such as to induce a belief it will be made up by the time. The Gentlemen Sportsmen are informed, that the Purses will amount to the same in either case, and the money hung up before starting. Good Stables and Litter near the ground found gratis, and every kind of forage at the lowest price.

For SALE, Little England Plantation, near Hampton, containing 100 acres of excellent land, about 300 of which are cleared, the remainder under wood, with a Dwelling-House, Offices, &c. This Plantation has many advantages over most others in the low country: There is a wharf within fifty yards of the house, with sufficient water for any vessel to lie at that can come into Hampton Creek, and the advantage to a farmer of having every thing conveyed to and from so considerable a market as Norfolk by water, is a circumstance of the first consideration. There is an excellent Pump in the farm-yard, with a well sufficient to water any fleet that may generally be in Hampton Roads; from this pump there are water ways to the wharf, by which a boat can load from 10 to 12 tons of water in two hours—It yielded the proprietor at one time 700 dollars in twelve months. The Plantation is most completely fenced by double ditches, staked, and wattled, with some hedges—in short, the House, Offices, and Land, are in such perfect neat and good order, that any person purchasing the place would not have a cent to lay out on it. Those who may wish to view the premises will please apply to Dr. Ward, at Little England—For terms or other particulars, apply to William H. Thompson. N. B.

Fifty Dollars Reward. RUNAWAY from the Subscriber, in Pittsylvania, Virginia, the 4th inst. a likely mulatto lad, named BARTELEY GUTTRIDGE, who was formerly the property of John Sutton, deceased, Pinetoy, Middlesex county, and sold to Robert Adams by Mrs. Ann Sutton, executrix of John Sutton. Bartelley is a very bright mulatto; his hair is black and very straight; he is from 17 to 19 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high, and inclined to be round shouldered—there is nothing more remarkable in this boy that I recollect. He was bred a sailor, and will no doubt attempt to pass as a free man and get on board some vessel, and by that means make his escape, as he once made the attempt when the property of Mrs. Ann Sutton, and was apprehended in New York, where he may attempt to go again, or to Baltimore, Philadelphia, or to some other port where he may get a passage to secure his freedom. This boy was seen crossing the river at Manchester last Tuesday. I therefore forewarn all masters or commanders of vessels from employing, harboring, or conveying the said boy away. The above reward will be paid to any person for apprehending and confining the said boy in Richmond jail, or any other jail, so that I get him again. ROBERT ADAMS. Sept. 15th, 1808. 3t
