/ MARRIED, on Sunday evening, by the Re-
vercnd William Gibson, Mr.. THOMAS NJ pa
WIS, of Kentucky, to Miss SARAH DADE,
daughter of Mr.. Baldwin Dade, Of this city.
The legislature of Virginia adjourned on
| the 10th instant.
The wits remark that by late advices from
Washington Mr.. Jeferson's red plush breech-
es are becoming more of Rose color.
Tfe British papers announce that /" the
treaty between France and Austria was sign
>ed at Fontsinbleau on the 3lst of October"
This new treaty must unquestionably prove
| very important; and will lead, according to
all probability, to some great events, the dis
closure of which, subdued and resigned Eu-
rope looks for in silence.
Several letters from France say that the
CONSUMPTION for the year 1909, has been call
ed forth, and is to give 10000 men for the
armies. The military force of the French
empire compromising 100000 men, and the
allied powers with Italy, furnishing a con-
tingence of 100000 and probably above that
number; one can hardly conceive that Bona
parte should be under the necessity ofmaking
this new appeal to the nation. However we
shall probably soon discover from the march
Of his forces, the motive he has had for so
doing.
Capt. Williams, of the Sea-Nymph, from
St. Croix, informs, that admiral Cochrane
had gone to windward to blockade Martinique.
News OF the embargo was brought to st.
Croix'b by captain Sims from New York. 1t
excited much alarm among the inhabitants.
Flour rose from to IA dollars in one day,
and other provisions in proportion.

g have not, from my political standing,
access to the official fountains-it is not mine
acceders aid tontes-but information from those
sources has descended to me through such
channels, that can venture to assure you at
most beyond a doubt, that our differences with
Great Britain will be speedily and satisfacto-
rily accommodated Apprehensions of French
influence upon our counsels have been enter
tanned even by many of the republicanpalty-
But that danger is nearly oUcr, We shall
have peace with Britain. War with France
will follow and America and Britain will be
the only obstacles to the gigantic project of
Napoleon &Alexander to divide the world be-
tween them. Gloomy will be the prospect
horrible will be the contest Heaven alone
can save US, and let us confidently hope that
Heaven will smile on the cause OF Freedom
Alliance betz0cen France and the United St1tes.
