the whole plain of Castile, which extends to Portugal, and of the province of Leon, detest and curse the authors of this war, and earnestly demand peace and repose. Twenty thousand bales of wool, worth from 15 to 20,000,000, which were seized in Burgos, have been sent to Bayonne.
Seventh Bulletin.
Burgos, Nov. 20.
By the 16th the van of the marshal duke of Dalmatia entered St. Andero, and found there a large quantity of flour, ammunition and British goods.
The bishop of St. Andero, animated rather with the spirit of the devil than that of the gospel, is always marching with a cutlass by his side; he has taken shelter on board the English frigates.
The cavalry of gen. Lafalle has pushed its advanced posts as far as Sorne Sierra.
The regiments of Zamora, and of the princes, which formed part of Romana's division, are almost entirely annihilated.
Eighth Bulletin.
The duke of Dalmatia is following his successes with the utmost activity.
A convoy of artillery, ammunition, and English muskets, was taken in the port of Cunillar, the very moment the ships were on the point of getting under weigh.
Gen. Surat, at the head of his brigade, continues vigorously to pursue the enemy. He has passed Montuna, and entered Asturia. The light companies of the 36th regiment have seized, in the port of Santilina, an English convoy, laden with sugar, coffee, cotton, and other colonial commodities. The number of English vessels, richly laden, which have been taken on this coast, already amounts to twenty five. The 7th corps of the army of Spain, commanded by gen. Gouvion St. Cyr, has also began preparations. On the 6th of Nov. the place of Rosas was invested by generals Reille and Feno, and the heights of St. Pedro were carried by the Italians. A large number of Miquelets and English occupied the port of Silva: they were attacked by gen. Fontana, at the head of three battalions of light infantry, and dashed into the sea, with the loss of ten 24 pounders, four of which were English, which they had not time to embark.
On the 8th, the garrison of Rosas made a sortie in three columns, protected by the guns of the English ships. Gen. Marchilli killed 600 of them, and repulsed the rest.
It is supposed that the head quarters will be removed from Burgos in the course of the night.
Ninth Bulletin.
ARANDA, Nov. 25.
The military system appears to have been as follows:—On the left was the army of Galicia, one moiety of which was composed of troops of the line, and of all the resources of Galicia, Asturia, and Leon. In the centre was the army of Estremadura, which the English corps had promised to support, and which was composed of all the resources of Estremadura, and the neighbouring provinces.
The army of Andalusia, Valencia, New-Castile, and Arragon, stated to amount to 80,000 men, occupied, the 20th November, Calahorra, Tudela, and the borders of Arragon. This army supported the right of the enemy, and was composed of the troops who formed the camp of St. Roeh, and of the whole force of Andalusia, Valencia, Carthagena, and Madrid. It is against this army the French troops are now manoeuvring; the rest having been dispersed and destroyed in the battles of Espinosa and Burgos.
The head-quarters were removed on the 22d from Burgos to Lerma, and on the 23d from Lerma to Aranda.
The duke of Elchingen marched on the 22d to Soria; the town was disarmed, and a committee of well disposed persons, appointed for the administration of the province. The duke is now in Medina Cell, and his light troops scour the road from Saragossa to Madrid.
On the 22d the dukes of Montebello & Corneigliano formed a junction near the bridge of Lodosa.
On the 24th the duke of Belluno removed his head-quarters to Venta Gornez.—Almost all the roads of communication between Madrid and the Northern Provinces are intercepted by our troops, whose light parties have picked up a great number of couriers and mails.
The utmost confusion seems to prevail in Madrid, and the whole nation anxiously desires the restoration of that tranquility and peace, of which Spain has been deprived by the puerile arrogance and criminal cunning of a few intrigues.
It appears difficult for the army which forms the right of the enemy, and is now on the banks of the Ebro, to fall back on Madrid, and the south of Spain. The events which are now preparing will probably decide the fate of this other moiety of the Spanish army.
For these three days we have had damp and hazy weather. This season is more hurtful to the natives of the country than to men accustomed to the climate of the North.
General Gouvion St. Cyr continues vigorously to push on the siege of Rosas.
Tenth Bulletin.
Is dated Aranda, the 26th November, and states the Spanish force at 180,000 effective men.—80,000 effective men, 60,000 of whom were armed, and composed the armies of Galicia and Estremadura, commanded by Blake. Romana and
Galuzzo, have been disposed, or put hors de combat.
The army of Andalusia, of Valencia, of Noxaville, Castile, and Arragon, commanded by Castanos, Penas and Palafax, and which likewise consisted of 80,000 men, viz. 60,000 armed, will soon meet with its fate as the duke of Montebello has received orders to attack in front, with 30,000 men, whilst the dukes of Elchingen and Belluno are placed behind it. There are besides 60,000 effective men (40,000 of whom are armed) 30,000 of which are in Catalonia, and 10,000 at Madrid, Valencia, and other depots.—Previous to marching beyond the Duero, the emperor has come to a resolution to annihilate the armies of the centre and left, and then to serve in the same manner that of the right, commanded by gen. Castanos. When this plan shall have been executed, the march to Madrid will be only a walk (promenade).—This grand design ought now to have been accomplished.
Eleventh Bulletin.
ARANDA DE DUERO, Nov. 27.
His majesty on the 19th, sent off the marshal duke of Montebello with instructions for the movements of the left, of which he gave him the command.
The duke of Montebello and the duke of Corneigliano concerted measures together at Lodosa on the 20th, for the execution of the orders of his majesty.
On the 21st, the division of general Lagrange, with the brigade of light cavalry of gen. Colbert, and the brigade of dragoons of gen. Dijohn, set out from Lagrodo, by the right of the Ebro. At the same time the four divisions, composing the corps of the duke of Corneigliano, passed the river at Lodosa, abandoning the whole country between the Ebro and Pampeluna.
On the 22d, at the break of day, the French army began its march. It took its direction to Calahorra, where, on the evening before, were the head quarters of Castanos; it found that town evacuated, and afterwards marched upon Alfaro, the enemy had in like manner retreated.
On the 23d, at break of day, the gen. of division, Lefebvre, at the head of the cavalry, and supported by the division of gen. Morla, forming the advanced guard, met with the enemy. He immediately gave information to the duke of Montebello, who found the army of the enemy in 7 divisions, consisting of 45,000 men, under arms, with its right before Tudela, and its left occupying a line of a league and a half; a disposition absolutely bad. The Arragonese were on the right, the troops of Valencia and New-Castile in the centre, and the three divisions of Andalusia, which gen. Castanos commanded more especially, formed the left. Forty pieces of cannon covered the enemy's line.
At nine in the morning, the columns of the French army began to deploy, with that order, that regularity and coolness, which characterize veteran troops; situations were chosen for establishing batteries with sixty pieces of cannon, but the impetuosity of the troops, and the inquietude of the enemy, did not allow time for this. The Spaniards were already vanquished by the orders and movements of the French army.
The duke of Montebello caused the centre to be pierced by the division of general Maurice Matthieu; the general of division of Lefebvre, with his cavalry, immediately passed on the trot through this opening, and enveloped, by a quarter wheel to the left, the whole right of the enemy. The moment when half of the enemy's line found itself thus turned and defeated, was that in which gen. Lagrange attacked the village of Cafcente, where the line of Castanos was placed, which had not exhibited a better countenance than the right, but abandoned the field of battle leaving behind it its artillery and a great number of prisoners. The cavalry pursued the remains of the enemy's army to Mallen, in the direction of Saragossa, and to Tarazona, in the direction of Agreda. Seven standards, thirty pieces of cannon, with all their furniture, 12 colonels, 300 officers, 3000 men, have been taken; 4000 Spaniards have been left dead on the field of battle, or have been driven into the Ebro. Our loss has been trifling; we have had 60 men killed and 400 wounded; among the latter is the general of division Lagrange, who has received a bullet in the arm.
Our troops found at Tudela, a number of magazines. The marshal, duke of Corneigliano, has began his march upon Saragossa.
While a part of the fugitives retired to this place, the left, which had been cut off, fled in disorder to Tarracona and Agreda.
The duke of Elchingen, who was on the 22d at Soria, ought to have been on the 23d at Agreda, not a man would have escaped. But this corps being too much fatigued, remained at Soria the 23d and 24th—He arrived at Agreda on the 25th, still sufficiently in time to seize a great number of magazines.
One named Palafax, formerly a guard du corps, a man without talents and without courage, a kind of insignificant monk, the true head of a party, which acquired him the name of general, was the first to take flight. This is not the first time he has acted in that manner; he has done the same on all occasions.
This army of 45,000 men, has been thus beaten and defeated, without having more than 6000 men engaged.
The battle of Burgos had struck the centre of the enemy, and the battle of Espinosa the right; the battle of Tudela has struck the left; victory has thus struck, as with a thunderbolt, and dispersed the whole league of the enemy.
This bulletin concludes with the Journal of the operations of the siege of Rosas, which is long and uninteresting.
[The TWELFTH Bulletin is dated at Aranda, November 28.—It merely states that General Mathieu, pursuing the enemy, arrived on the 25th at Borga. The French army had taken 37 pieces cannon, and made 5,000 prisoners, all troops of the line. No quarter was given to any of the peasants found in arms.]
Thirteenth Bulletin.
ST. MARTINS, NEAR MADRID, Dec. 2.
On the 20th ult. the head-quarters of the Emperor were removed to the village of Bouzealas; on the 30th, at the break of day, the Duke of Belluno presented himself at the foot of the Sono Sierra; a division of 13,000 men of the Spanish army of reserve defended the passage of the mountains.—The enemy thought themselves unattackable in that position. They had entrenched the narrow passage, called Puerto, with sixteen pieces of cannon. The 9th light infantry marched upon the right; the 96th upon the causeway; and the 24th followed by the side of the heights on the left.—Gen. Senarmont, with six pieces of artillery, advanced by the causeway. The action commenced by the firing of musketry and cannon.
A charge made by the Gen. Montbrun, at the head of the Polish light horse, decided the affair, it was a most brilliant one, and the regiment covered itself with glory, and proved it was worthy to form a part of the Imperial Guards; cannon, flags, muskets, soldiers, all were taken or cut to pieces. Eight Polish light horses were killed upon the cannon, and sixteen have been wounded: Among the last is captain Dzinvanoski, who was dangerously wounded, and lies almost without hopes of recovery. Major Segur, Marshal of the Emperor's Household, charged among the Polish troops, and received many wounds, one of which is very severe.
Sixteen pieces of cannon, 10 flags, 20 covered chests, 200 wagons laden with all kind of baggage, and the military chests of the regiments, are the fruits of this brilliant affair. Among the prisoners, which are very numerous, are all the Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels of the corps of the Spanish division. All the soldiers would have been taken, if they had not thrown away their arms, and dispersed in the mountains.
On the 1st December the head-quarters of the Emperor were at St. Agustin, and on the second the Duke of Itria, with the cavalry commanded the heights of Madrid.
The infantry could not arrive before the 3d. The intelligence which we hitherto have received leads us to think that this town is suffering under all kinds of disorders, and that the doors are barricaded. The weather is very fine.
CAMP, AT MADRID, DEC. 4.
The town of Madrid has capitulated. Our troops entered it this day at noon. [This intelligence is contained in the Moniteurs of the 13th and 14th inst.]
SAVANNAH, March 2.
On Monday last arrived here the French schooner La Fortune, from Dehay, Guadalupe, which she left the 7th February. A passenger informs, that previous to failing the French government brig L'Aventurer got into that port from St. Maloes, bringing dispatches for the commandant at Guadalupe, and French accounts to the 23d Dec. which stated that Madrid and Cadiz had surrendered to the French—the former, after a loss to the Spaniards and British of 40,000 men; the latter, with little or no blood shed, in consequence of a threat on the part of the French to storm it. An English and Spanish squadron, lying in Cadiz at the time, are said to have fallen along with it. Nothing official had transpired at Dehay—the dispatches, having been forwarded immediately on their arrival to the commandant at Bellerre.
LONDON, December 16.
Admiral Sir Samuel Hood is under orders for the Coast of Spain. The precise point is not known, as he is going upon a secret service. He will hoist his flag on board the Zealous, of 74 guns. His former and favorite ship, The Zealous, which was on her way to the Downs, to relieve the Christian VII. has returned to Portsmouth, and the latter is to remain upon the Flushing station.
GLOBE OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.
Mr. Shaw arrived in town this morning from France. The two ladies, nieces of Talleyrand, who failed from Dover with the foreign Messengers, arrived in Paris on Monday last. It was then known in that city, that the French Army was at Madrid, but it caused no sensation, being considered a matter of course.
Mr. Shaw reached Paris on Tuesday, and delivered his dispatches to M. Champagny, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, who received him with great politeness, and gave orders that every possible attention should be paid to him. He was entertained in the Minister's house until Wednesday, when he left Paris with the answer to his dispatches.
An English officer arrived this morning with dispatches from Mr. Frere, at Madrid, and our armies. The dispatches from our armies are dated the 7th. They were then in high spirits. They had not heard of the arrival of the French at Madrid. It was understood, on the contrary, that Bonaparte had not followed up the victory of Tudela, with his usual energy. He represents the Spaniards as greatly in want of cavalry.
A letter from St. Croix, (received at New-York) dated February, 5 days, "We have undoubted intelligence, that the British forces had failed to attack Martinique six days ago, and we momentarily expect to hear the result. So sanguine are our merchants of its success, that vessels are going from St. Thomas to Martinique to speculate on the event."
THE CELEBRATED, IMPORTED, AND REAL BRED TURF HORSE, DRAGON.
THIS justly celebrated and unequalled horse of horses, whose claim to superiority is not questioned, is now in my stable (in high health and good condition) where he stood the two last seasons, and will stand the ensuing under the direction and management of Mr. George Sourbrey jr. He will be let to mares at the moderate rate of Forty Dollars the season, to be discharged at any time before the first day of September next by the payment of Thirty Dollars: Twenty Dollars the lease, paid before the mare is put to the horse, and if she does not stand, by paying the additional Ten Dollars to insure a mare in foal, paid when she is put to the horse, the money to be returned if such should not prove to be the case, provided the mare remains the property of the same person, with one dollar to the groom, paid at the stable door, whether she is put by the lease, season or insurance. Attestation for 40 dollars the season, payable the first day of January next, will be expected with the mares. Any gentleman who puts his mare by the season, and she does not prove to have been in foal, shall have the privilege of putting her next season gratis, provided she remains his property.
No expense has been spared to provide the best pasturage, and separate lots have been fenced, for the accommodation of mares sent to the horse, which will be free of all charges, and they will be grain fed if required, upon moderate terms. Every attention will be paid to mares, but cannot be accountable for accidents or escapes.
DRAGON is a dark chestnut, handsomely marked, with a star and snip, and without exaggeration is fully sixteen hands high; he is descended from the best running stock in England, and is a brother, in blood, to the famous horse Diomed, of whose stock is so highly esteemed in Virginia. It is a fact well known to a number of gentlemen in this state, how desirous the late Col. John Hoomes, of the Bowling Green, Virginia, was to obtain this horse, and never could effect it until after the death of the late Duke of Bedford, who owned him in England.
DRAGON is a sure foal getter, and all information concur in proving the colts dropped from him to be more promising than any ever seen in America. A number of his colts may be seen at the stand during the season.
JOHN W. HUNT.
Lexington, March 26th, 1809. DRAGON was unquestionably the best runner of his day—he won and received forfeit two and twenty times before he ended his fifth year, and in most cases for the highest prizes in England; among this number was the Whip, (which is known to be the highest object of competition ever established by the English Jockey Club,) & 200 guineas each, against two others, giving them both up a year's weight in riding, four miles; and the famous match against Clifden, four miles, carrying fifteen stone (225 lbs) upon each, in which he was rode by the Duke of Bedford, and Clifden by Sir John Lade.
Although Dragon was permitted to go to a few mares after he was withdrawn from the turf, yet the Duke of Bedford, who owned him, never relinquished him as a parade horse; and the number of his get which were dropped before the end of the year 1799, only amounts to thirty-three—one of these died young, one was sent to America, and several were never trained; eleven winners appear however, in England, from such as have been trained of this little stock, besides that one mentioned to have been sent to America, which, in the hands of Mr. Tayloe, proved a good runner, and has won several times in Virginia.
Mr. Cookson's Speculator, by Dragon, won 8 times one year, & 4 times the next, including the Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each, 26 subscribers; Mr. Lord's Finny Spinner, by Dragon, won 7 times one year; Sir F. Pool's colt Macreant, by Dragon, won 5 times one year; Mr. Howard's colt Creeper, by Dragon, won 4 times one year; Mr. Howorth's Tantula, Mr. Briggs's Phoenix, Mr. Lockett's Hospitality, Lord Milington's Fisherman, Mr. Cosiers ch. Filly, Sir F. Pool's bay Filly, and Mr. Paulton's ch. Filly, all by Dragon, have also proven winners from one to three times in a year.
W. HAMPTON.
Woodlands, 20th Feb. 1805. DRAGON was got by Woodpecker, (one of the best sons of King Herod, his dam Juno, (who is also the dam of Young Eclipse, and full sister to the dam of Diomed) by Spectator; his grand dam (sister to Horatius) by Blank; his great grand dam (Feather's dam, & full sister to the grand dam of Cygnet and Blossom) by Childers, out of Miss Belvoir by Grantham—Paget Turk—Betty Percival—Leeds's Arabian.
The following extract is taken from Col. Selden's advertisement of Diomed, for the year 1805—"To say nothing of the number of his colts that won in 1803, (the first season he appeared on the turf,) which greatly surpassed in number those of any other horse, although he came to America many years after several stallions of high fame. In 1804 we find Mr. Tayloe's Hamiltonian winning five times, Mr. Hoomes's Peace Maker four times, Mr. Selden's Lavinia three times & Sting four times; Mr. Wylies Mask twice, Mr. Ball's Florizel, three years old, winning two sweepstakes, which produced his owner 4000 dollars, and many other good races. "Mr. Ball has refused for his colt 5000 dollars—Hamiltonian was sold in May last, for 2000 dollars—Peace Maker was sold in October last for 2700 dollars—Lavinia in November for 2100 dollars, and 2000 refused for Sting.
PEDIGREE.
"Diomed was got by Florizel, (one of the best sons of King Herod) his dam by Spectator, (sister to Juno, the dam of Dragon, and Young Eclipse) his grand dam (sister to Horatius) by Blank; his great grand dam (Feather's dam, and full sister to the grand dam of Cygnet and Blossom) by Childers, out of Miss Belvoir, by Grey Grantham—Paget Turk—Betty Percival—Leeds's Arabian."
MILES SELDEN.
Tree Hill, January 5th, 1805. I certify that the facts contained in the above advertisement, respecting the pedigree and performances of Dragon, as well as those of his get, have been carefully extracted from the general stud books and racing calendars of England, and that they are strictly correct as therein stated and published—that Dragon has proved himself in my possession an uncommonly sure foal getter—and that his get, to the extent of my experience and information, are extremely promising.
W. HAMPTON.
Columbia, 25th October, 1806. Having been applied to by John W. Hunt, for information relative to the character of his horse Dragon, in the state of South Carolina, which state I have just returned from, do not hesitate to say, that it appeared to be the general opinion he was one of the best foal getters ever had been in the state; and I saw a number of his colts which were very promising—I was at the house of Judge Simpkins, where Dragon had stood, & made a point to enquire of him particularly, relative to Dragon's stock, and he spoke in the highest terms of them, and said if Dragon was sent back again, he would make a great season. Given under my hand this 25th day of March, 1808. ROBT. DUDLEY.
I was at the races in Charleston, South Carolina, last month; on the third day, a Dragon colt ran the two mile heats for the Jockey Club purse, where two others started—the race was a well contested one between the Dragon colt and Mr. Smith's stud horse Farmer; they were locked nearly all the way, and at the out-coming they were not clear of each other—it is stated in the Charleston paper the first heat was run in four minutes two seconds, the second heat in three minutes fifty-seven seconds—that is the only Dragon colt I saw whilst in the state, and I think him a very fine colt and of fine size.

Yesterday [Feb 10, 1808] a set of $1000 was run for over this course two mile heats, and was won by Col. Hampton's bay colt—catch upon each.
Col. Hampton's b. h. by Dragon, 1 1 J. P. Richardson esq's b. c. by do. 2 2 These colts are both from the same sire, and of the same age—the race was one of the best contested that has been run over this course for many years past; the horses were scarcely separated during the heats, and the winner obtained the purse by hardly a length. They both bid fair to afford good sport in future.

INAUGURAL SPEECH.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 4. This day at 12 o'clock, his Excellency JAMES MADISON, Esq. President of the United States, delivered in the Hall of the Representatives, the following Inaugural Address, and was immediately sworn into office, amidst an immense concourse of spectators.
UNWILLING to depart from examples of the most revered authority, I avail myself of the occasion now presented, to express the profound impression made on me, by the call of my country to the station, to the duties of which I am about to pledge myself, by the most solemn of oaths. So distinguished a mark of confidence, proceeding from the deliberate & tranquil suffrage of a free and virtuous nation, would, under any circumstances, have commanded my gratitude and devotion, as well as filled me with an awful sense of the trust to be assumed. Under the various circumstances, which give peculiar solemnity to the existing period, I feel that both the honor and the responsibility allotted to me are inexpressibly enhanced.
The present situation of the world is indeed without a parallel; and that of our own country full of difficulties. The pressure of these too is the more severely felt, because they have fallen upon us at a moment, when the national prosperity being at the height not before attained, the contrast resulting from the change, has been rendered the more striking. Under the benign influence of our republican institutions, and the maintenance of peace with all nations, whilst so many of them were engaged in bloody and wasteful wars, the fruits of a just policy were enjoyed, in an unrivalled growth of our faculties and resources. Proofs of this were seen in the improvements of agriculture, in the successful enterprises of commerce, in the progress of manufactures and useful arts; in the increase of the public revenue, and the use made of it in reducing the public debt, and in the valuable works and establishments, every where multiplying over the face of our land.
It is a pious reflection that the transition from this prosperous condition of our country, to the scene which has for some time been distressing us, is not chargeable to any unwarrantable views, nor, as I trust, on any involuntary errors, in the public councils. Indulging no passions which trespass on the rights or the repose of other nations, it has been the true glory of the United States to cultivate peace, by observing justice—and to entitle themselves to the respect of the nations at war, by fulfilling their neutral obligations with the most scrupulous impartiality. If there be candor in the world the truth of these assertions will not be questioned. Posterity at least will do justice to them.
This unexceptionable course could not avail against the injustice and violence of the belligerent powers. In their rage against each other, or impelled by more direct motives, principles of retaliation have been introduced equally contrary to universal reason and acknowledged law.
How long their arbitrary edicts will be continued, in spite of the demonstrations that not even a pretext for them has been given by the United States, and of the fair and liberal attempts to induce a revocation of them, cannot be anticipated. Assuring myself that under every vicissitude, the determined spirit and united councils of the nation will be safe guards
to its honor and its essential interests—I repair to the post assigned me, with no other discouragement than what springs from my own inadequacy to its high duties. If I do not sink under the weight of this deep conviction, it is because I find some support in a consciousness of the purposes, and a confidence in the principles which I bring with me into this arduous service.
To cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations having correspondent dispositions; to maintain sincere neutrality towards belligerent nations; to prefer in all cases amicable discussion and reasonable accommodation of differences, to a decision of them by an appeal to arms; to exclude foreign intrigues and foreign partialities, so degrading to all countries, and so baneful to free ones; to foster a spirit of independence, too just to invade the rights of others, too proud to surrender our own, too liberal to indulge unworthy prejudices ourselves, and too elevated not to look down upon them in others; to hold the union of the states as the basis of their peace and happiness; to support the constitution, which is the cement of the union as well in its limitations as in its authorities; to respect the rights and authorities reserved to the states and to the people, as equally incorporated with, and essential to the success of the general system; to avoid the slightest interference with the rights of conscience or the functions of religion, so wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction; to preserve in their full energy the other salutary provisions in behalf of private and personal rights, and of the freedom of the press; to observe economy in public expenditures; to liberate the public resources by an honorable discharge of the public debts; to keep within the requisite limits a standing military force, always remembering that an armed and trained militia is the safest bulwark of republics; that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, nor, with large ones safe; to promote by authorized means improvements friendly to agriculture, to manufactures, and to external, as well as internal commerce; to favour in like manner, the advancement of science and the diffusion of information, as the best aliment to true liberty; to carry on the benevolent plans which have been so meritoriously applied, to the conversion of our aboriginal neighbours from the degradation and wretchedness of savage life, to a participation of the improvements of which the human mind and manners are susceptible in a civilized state; As far as sentiments and intentions, such as these, can aid the fulfilment of my duty, they will be a resource which cannot fail me.
It is my good fortune, moreover, to have the path in which I am to tread lighted by examples of illustrious services, successfully rendered, in the most trying difficulties, by those who have marched before me. Of those of my immediate predecessor, it might least become me here to speak, I may, however, be pardoned for not suppressing the sympathy with which my heart is full, in the rich reward he enjoys in the benedictions of a beloved country, gratefully bestowed for exalted talents, zealously devoted, through a long career, to the advancement of its highest interests and happiness.
But the source to which I look for the aid which alone can supply my deficiencies, is in the well tried intelligence and virtue of my fellow citizens, and in the counsels of those representing them, in the other departments associated in the care of the national interests. In these, my confidence will, under every difficulty, be best placed; next to that which we have all been encouraged to feel, in the guardianship and guidance of that Almighty Being, whose power regulates the destiny of nations, whose blessings have been so conspicuously dispensed to this rising republic, and to whom we are bound to address our devout gratitude for the past, as well as our fervent supplications and best hopes for the future.
From the Boston Centinel, of March 1.
FURTHER SUPPRESSED DOCUMENTS.
The right which every Government possesses to keep secret its intercourse and negotiations with foreign nations, so long at least as they are still pending, has been most grossly abused by the present administration. Availing themselves of the privilege of secret debate, and of the right to impose injunctions of secrecy on the members of the two houses, they have published just so much, and no more of the correspondence of our Government with foreign powers as would tend to palliate the conduct of France, and exasperate the people against Great Britain.
It will be perceived by the Documents which we are now about to publish, the authenticity of which may be relied on, and we challenge Mr. Madison to disavow it, that the most important facts, in the treatment of France to us, and the most interesting opinions of General Armstrong, tending to show the necessity of a war, or of spirited measures against that nation have been purposely kept back, letters from Mr. Pinkney on the other hand, favourable to Great Britain, and to her views and feelings, have been equally suppressed.
It will be seen, that as the Government professed to take hostile ground equally against both, no honorable motives of policy or prudence, no rules of diplomatic delicacy required the suppression of these letters.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Madison.
PARIS, Dec. 27, 1807. "I forwarded by Mr. McElheny a copy of a second and very extraordinary Decree, [Milan Decree of Dec. 17] of this government, with regard to neutral commerce. Whether it be meant to stimulate Great Britain to the commission of new
outrages, or to quicken us in repealing those she has already committed—the policy is equally unwise, and so decidedly so, that I know not a man of consideration who approves of it. It is however not less true that it is as difficult to find one who will hazard an objection to it. T—d—"
who in this way is permitted to go further than any other person, dare not avow his opinion of it, nor (bad as he thinks it) do more than state that the present moment would appear to dictate some modifications. To this point he stands engaged to go, and I wait the result with much anxiety. The Emperor is expected here on the last day of the month."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Madison to Mr. Armstrong. February 8, 1808.
[To follow the paragraph reading with the words "pari passu with the enemy."] "Whether these imputations have any reference to the distinction between such parts of the French decree as operate municipally, on those, and such as operating on the high seas, violate the rights of neutrals, or to distinction between former restriction, and the late extension of the decree with respect to the United States, Erkine did not seem authorised to say. The probability is, that neither of these distinctions entered into the views of the British cabinet. But it is certainly neither less the duty nor the true policy of the Emperor of the French to vary his decree, as to make it consistent with the rights of neutrals and the freedom of the seas, and particularly with his positive stipulations with the United States. This may be the more reasonably expected, as nothing can be more clear as has been already observed, than the effect of the decree, as far as it can be carried into effect would not be sensibly diminished by abolishing its operation beyond the limits of territorial sovereignty."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Madison. Feb. 22, 1808.
Mr. Patterson offering to good a conveyance that I cannot but employ it. Nothing has occurred here since the date of my public dispatches (the 17th) to give to our business an aspect more favorable than it then had on the other hand, I have come to the knowledge of two facts which I think sufficiently show the decided character of the emperor's policy with regard to us. These are, 1st: that in a council of administration, held a few days past when it was proposed to modify the operation of the decree of Nov. 1806, and December 1807, (tho' the proposition was supported by the whole weight of the council) he became highly indignant, and declared that these decrees should suffer no change, and that the Americans should be compelled to take the positive character of either allies or enemies. 2d. That on the 27th of Jan. last, 12 days after Mr. Champagny's written assurances, that these decrees should work no change in the property sequestered, until our discussions with England were brought to a close, and seven days before he reported to me verbally these very assurances, the emperor had by a special decision, confiscated two of our ships and their cargoes (the Julius Henry, and Juniata) for want merely of a document not required by any law or usage of the commerce in which they had been engaged. This act was taken, as I am informed, on a general report of sequestered cases, amounting to one hundred and sixty, and which, at present prices, will yield upwards of one hundred millions of francs, a sum, whose magnitude alone renders hopeless all attempt at saving it—Danes, Portuguese and Americans, will be principal sufferers. If I am right in supposing that the emperor has definitely taken his ground, I cannot be wrong in concluding that you will immediately take yours."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Madison. March 9, 1809.
"The conversation alluded to in the copy of the letter—did not take place till the 8th inst. when the emperor declared that if means could be found to make an exception of the Nov. Decree, that such exception should have his consent."
Extract from the same to the same. March 15, 1808. "I stated in my last letter the substance of a declaration made by the emperor, viz. that if means could be found to except American property from the operation of the decree of Nov. 1806, without infringing the principles of the decrees, he would immediately make the exception. No time was lost in communicating this declaration to me, and I was invited to point out the means it required, and assured that they should be immediately submitted to his majesty. Little as I liked the proposition, and much as I doubted the sincerity of the declaration out of which it grew, I could not refuse any agency of mine in refusing so much of the American property sequestered in the ports of France as should come within this new rule. I accordingly wrote this note (a copy of which is subjoined to this letter) pointing out in a few words the property to which that rule would apply. This note was put into the Emperor's hand by the prince of Benevento, who, though six days have now elapsed, has not yet received an answer."
From the Democratic Press. INCENDIARIES AND BRITISH AGENTS. Some days before the enemies of the laws of the Union, called a public meeting in this city, some traitorous incendiary, to feel the pulse of the Coffee-house, wrote and pushed up the following words: "THE POTOMAC THE BONA-DIARY, THE NEGRO STATES BY THEMSELVES."
In the Press of the same day, one hundred dollars reward was offered for the author. No information was obtained, and we had almost despaired of any clue to guide us with effect, when the articles we are going to publish, presented themselves to our notice.
The following extract of a letter, to a mercantile house in Richmond (Va.) dated Philadelphia, January 27th, 1809, is in the National Intelligencer, declared to be written by a Mr. JOHN GRANT, residing in this city. This John Grant, we understand to be a British subject and a British agent, not yet two years in this country. When our readers have read the letter of John Grant, and compared it with the notice which was posted up at the Coffee-house, they will perhaps be less at a loss with respect to the author of the notice, than they have heretofore been.
There is one other hideous feature in this letter of Grant's. We allude to the last paragraph, from which it would appear that this British agent and subject was perfectly, minutely and confidentially acquainted with the intentions of the Federal party, at a time when those intentions were known only to a few cautious friends. Four days before the day appointed for the federal Town meeting, a British agent writes to his correspondent in Richmond, and informs him what is intended to be done.
The people of the United States will do well to consider, what claims to public confidence that party can have, who, at a time like this, takes to its bosom, and consults in its caucuses, men who are notoriously the subjects and agents of that foreign government, who have plundered, impressed and murdered the citizens of the United States?
"I should be happy to hear from you before the separation talked of takes place. The potomac is to divide betwixt us and the N—e—roes. I am sorry you are on the Negro side. "You will soon see in the newspapers resolutions past here, that will make the Palace "V—a—g—b—d—tremble."
The following is a copy of the answer to the above dated Richmond 1st February, 1809. The writer has discharged his duty and need be under no apprehensions as to the wrath of Mr. Grant. It is highly probable that the letter just published will be Mr. Grant's last public epistle during his residence here, as we think it highly probable he will think it prudent to close his concerns in this country and embrace the first opportunity of returning to throw himself at the feet of that sovereign whose will he has been endeavouring to fulfil by the whetting the swords of Americans and provoking civil war in the U. States.
"Your favor of the 27th ult. was received yesterday morning. Mr. M***** being out of town, it becomes me to reply to your very singular letter individually, and I must observe, that my feelings were extremely mortified and wounded, on the receipt of such a letter from you. "Perhaps it may be proper to let you know who I am—I am an American, a native born Virginian, attached to my country; and feel for its honor and independence, a friend to the President and those gentlemen whom you are pleased to call "Palace Vagabonds."
"If you, Mr. G****, know of any design or plan to separate, and divide the United States, you ought, as an honest man, to disclose it. And permit me to tell you, that you will be acting the part of a traitor, if you do not. And I now call upon you, if you know of any plan, design or project, for such purposes, to make it public."
"What, sir, would you think of me, if I was settled in some town in Great Britain, was carrying on, under the protection of the laws of that country, a lucrative and profitable business, if I should, in writing to a true born Englishman speak of the chief Magistrate of the country as a Vagabond? Would you not say, at once, that I would deserve a rib roasting for my impertinence?—If you will just in your imagination, change sides for a moment, you would see the ridiculous point of view in which you have placed yourself."
"I must observe, in justice to my partner, Mr. M****, that if you thought by your letter, to please or gratify his feelings, you have mistaken your man; he is your countryman it is true; he is, nevertheless a gentleman, and one, who would disdain to participate in any of your rancorous hostile feelings, against this country or its rulers. The responsibility of this letter, I however take entirely upon myself; and I have only to observe, that there is but the way of settling the difference, which any expression in it may occasion, between you and myself."
The destiny of Britain is marked by Heaven—for in every instance they have been baffled. The blood of the American citizens who perished on board their guardships—the murder they have committed in all parts of the world—are now required at their hands by that God who will seek retribution for innocent blood. America also will be punished till this is obtained from the hands of justice. I will bring war on that nation which screens the murderer from punishment, says the LORD.

We understand, that the Senate of the United States, have unanimously rejected the nomination of Mr. William Short as minister to Russia. (Phil. Gaz.)
Col Wade Hampton is promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General in the army of the United States.
A London paper of Dec. 17, after relating the disasters in Spain, observes:—We repeat our wish, that we had still attempted a junction, and that ministers had not so suddenly countermanded the orders for the sailing fresh troops to Spain. "The Spaniards have been defeated! Let us send more troops to them, let us make fresh efforts—no despondence—no holding back; calamity only gives the Spaniards an additional claim to British aid."
Gloomy as the prospect is, no doubt, but it is not desperate; yet even were it even more gloomy and so desperate, there is one thing we should always keep in mind—risk every thing—ships, armies, blood and treasure; but risk not the British character. Amidst the wreck of everything; amidst disaster and defeat; amidst storm and tempest, let us have this proud consolation, the British honor, faith, and integrity, remained unsullied and unimpeached.
We are anxious to see the terms of the capitulation of Madrid. We trust that the troops who were there have retired southward. Of the effect which this event will have upon the movements of our troops we are not yet informed. The latest intelligence from Sir John Moore being of the 5th, he could not of course have
known that Madrid had capitulated. But as the information of the determination of the people of Madrid to defend it to the last extremity, determined him to suspend his retreat, the news of Bonaparte having taken Madrid will probably induce him to continue it.
For the Kentucky Gazette. LINES, OCCASIONED BY THE TEDIOUS AND GLOOMY WINTER.
O ruthless season, unpropitious weather, When will your gloomy days be past? When will your storms have ceased to gather And hush'd to silence your tempestuous blast? Four tedious months are gone and over Since you've been raging o'er my head, With unremitting shower on shower, Drenching the ground on which I tread. Awhile the plains are nought but mire, Much to the weary traveller's cist, Anon the bellowing blasts rise higher, Binding the earth in chains of frost. Thus wearied out with two extremes, I've past the tedious winter round, Still hoping fate would change the scenes, Alas! my hopes are yet uncrown'd. My cranium* is the seat of gloom, The duramater† a muddy realm, No pleasing thoughts can there find room In cerebrum‡ or cerebellum§. Come South West Winds, and on thy wing Send thy salubrious breezes forth, And usher in the smiling Spring; Drive these cold damps to regions north— Come with thy love-creating power, And clothe with green the landscapes over, Bring now and then a gentle shower, Belangle all the fields of clover, With sweetest flowers, to cheer our noses. Sweet Flora, come, with gentle hand Plant, in our back grounds, blooming roses, Spread joy and singing through the land. Hail, bounteous May, thou shalt inspire Our hearts with love, and passions strong; Our breasts shall glow with warm desire— We'll hail thee with our early song.

THE beautiful and complete native Arabian horse SELIM, WILL stand the ensuing season, to commence the tenth of March, and expire the tenth of July at my farm in Fayette county, six miles from Lexington, at twenty dollars the season, or thirty to ensure a mare to be with foal, or 15 dollars the single leap, to be paid at the expiration of the season. SELIM is a superbly formed Horse, fourteen and a half hands high, possessing more bone and muscle than any horse in America of his size, and no doubt can be entertained of his being a genuine Arabian. Pasturage for mares gratis, but no responsibility. B. GRAVES. Feb. 28th, 1809.
I do hereby certify, that I have bred two years from the genuine and uncommonly fine Arabian horse Selim, and that his colts are large and fine, and in my opinion not inferior to any ever foaled mine, both as to size and form. From the manner in which I have possessed of this horse, there can be no doubt of his being the best blood Arabian can produce, as he was presented by Mir. Bey to Gen. A. Herkemy, who intended him for England, where he would have been taken had the General not have died. After his death Maj. Ramsey, a British officer purchased him and sold a part of him to commodore Baron, who brought him to America. For the half of this horse I gave commodore Baron $1500. This horse I have sent out to Maj. Benjamin Graves, near Lexington Kentucky. Given under my hand, this 10th of November, 1808. John Tayloe.
Mount Airy, Virginia. We the subscribers do certify, that we have seen several of the colts gotten by the Arabian horse Selim, and think them in no degree inferior to those got by the most celebrated horses. Ephraim Beasley, William M. Montjoy, David Johnston. Prince William county, Virg. January, November 10, 1808.
I do hereby certify, that I put a small blooded mare to the Arabian horse Selim last year, and she produced me a very fine colt, both as to size, beauty and strength, and indeed far exceeded my expectations from the mare—I can further say, that I have seen other colts got by Selim, and think myself a judge of horse flesh, and do declare they are in my opinion fine and large. William Holburn. Richmond county, 10th Nov. 1808. I have seen the colts alluded to by Mr. Holburn, and agree with him in opinion. Given under my hand, this 11th day of November, 1808. Benjamin Baughton. I do certify that when I went to Hampton after Selim, for John Tayloe esq. that I saw a colt of Laurence Gibson's of Yorktown, Virginia, rising two years old, got by Selim out of a very small mare—it was uncommonly large, and among the finest colts I ever saw. Gibson had been offered $300 for it—and the report of the people in the lower country was, that his colts were uncommonly fine. Given under my hand this 9th day of January, 1809. James Evans.
I do certify, that I have a colt got by Selim, out of a small mare, which is large and handsome—and I do think equal to the get of any horse in Virginia. Given under my hand this 9th day of Jan. 1809. John Stone. The above mentioned colt was foaled about the 1st of June last, and is upwards of four feet three inches high. John Stone.

Notice. AFTER about three years' anxious pursuit and meditation, I have at length made a complete discovery of the Perpetual Motion in Theory, and have reduced it to practice. I will only observe that it moves by its own weight; that is to say, the more you load a waggon, the more the power is increased for as to move the waggon and its burthen. I expect to write a short treatise on the subject, which will more fully explain this most grand and important discovery. I am anxious that it should be put in practice as soon as possible, so that the public may receive the benefit resulting from this noble principle, before it is withheld for by them. Henry Fenk.
