Circular address Of The Council Of Castle.
Most Faithful Spaniards
You have, for twenty years together.
ooeyed with unexceptonable LOYALTY, the
august monarch of Spain, ever treading in
the sseps Of our forefathers you have made
Su table returns to his paternal love, and
shared the just concern which the council
expressed to his majesty respecting his alb.
dicatIon, on the day following that ON which
1t took place. If we published his success
Sors accession to the throne, it was merely
to comply with his supreme commands.
we would have long continued submissive
and faithful TO his majesty, if we had un.
derstood that his abdication and resigna.
ton of the crown was not accompanied
with the requisite spontaneous freedom.
Ever since Charles Nv. made II known
thatthis abdicatiun.had been forced fromfim
and that he deemed himself fully entitled
to resume the crown, the board of govern.
ment, the council of CASTLE and the whole
hation, have been anxiously waiting the de-
cision OF question of such high Importance ;
and tile council have examined with the
greatest attention, che documents upon
which the powerful umpire who has been
appointed tor that purpose, has grounded

mon formed 10y the council, they have the
certainty that they have not deviatcd from

undoubtedly unfortunate that the union OF
the Fathers Of the people has not vet "a

less distressing TO their bene6cent hearts,

dent, by the state convention at LANCASTER
last winter, should be called upon, beic,r.
their election, to declare whether they wiz
or will not support the candidates put ia 10
mination in the usual manner; and il they
should refuse to support that nomination, or
refuse to make declaration thereupon,
that such persons, if any, should not be re-
tanned on the republican ticket; and that
the state committee of correspondence be
requested to call on them scvsrally for that
purpose.
Resolved, AS the opinion ofthis meeting,
that the nomination of James Ross, as can
didate for the chair of this state, is an
avowal, on the part OF those who support
him, that they approve of all those acts of
his public life, which lost him the conf
dence of the people Of this commonwealth
and that, as the odious measures of policy
in the general and state governments; the
dangerous and destructive measure which
he endeavored to carry mo effect, h Id they
been successful, must have undermined the
liberties OF the American people We re-
commend to the people of this common.
wealth, as they are opposed the destruc-
tive laws OF the reign o. terror, to the trail
torous schemes of Aaron Burr, and his asso-
ciates, and to the scheme proposed b. james
Ross, for taking tue election Of the presi-
dent from the people, and placing it III the
hands OF secret conClave--to come forth
III their might at the election i'll October,
and save themselves from their worst enc
mics.
Rescued, AS the opinion of this meeting,
that Simon Snyder, of Northumberland, az
man OF an useful and irreproachable pri-
waite life, and of an active and faithful cha
racter in public, merits the confidence and
the most effective and active support of the
people of this commonwealth tor the officd
of governor.

By traveller who passed through thiI

BY traveller who passed through this
town this week from New Orleans, we are
informed that the Indians are continuing
their murders. A gentleman from Gsor-
gia for Natchez was lately shot through the.
body and robbed. A company ctming up
from the latter place, was attacked and
plundered just ahead Of the person who gave
us the information, but whose party were
fortunately sufficiently numerous to deter
ne Indians from hostlites.
Some travellers from the Eastward who
lately passed through this town, and AS is
customary with such gentlemen, condeseen-
ded to instruct the stupidity of KeOtuckians
in the science Of politics, expressed a wish
that the Embargo might Continue twelve
month longer-purposely that Tom Je6er-
son might lose his popularity I'VE have
no objection at all 10 stake the popularity
of MIR. Jefferson, a tzS tUemont hence, ON
the mere credit of that act and not
withstanding it was a tory wish, we cordi-
ally join issue with it may il continue.
Some excuse, indeed, might be offered
for the zeal of these travellers their
heads were intoxicated with doses from
Massachusetts, from New York and Rhode
Island; but as there has been time for the
fumes to evaporate, we expect ERE this
"the Embargo is damn'd bad measure''

We have learnt in addition to former
particulars from Lisbon, that the French
General. whilst he confessed id his mes.
sage to Sir Charles Cotton that the peo-
pie had not more than fourteen DAYS
provision left, added, that he had secur.
cd the subsistence Of his army for six
rnonths--an assertion which we NAV be
permitted to disbeDiese. He stated too,
that if We refused to supply the country
with provisions, the scandal and dis.
grace Of starving a:~hole people would
rest upon the British characteristic e.
Cotton probably replied to him that for
all the horrors and misiries in which the
country was involved, the French alone
were responsible. An offer is said to
have been made by our Admiral to raise
the blockade, if the French army would
evaeuate the country. The Frenc h
General reiterated his assertion, that the
French had supplies for six months, but
that provisions were wanted forthe PEG.

Mr.. Rose has arrived in London from
America he came 10 the Statira fri
gate. A cabinet council was held at the
foreign Office on Saturday last, to deli.
berate on the subject Of his communica-
tons; We are sorry the accounts from
America are not very favorable to Eng
land. Although nothing has hitherto
TRANSFERRED which renders an amicable
adjustment hopeless yet certainly there
exists good reason to fear that the ne.
gotiations are attended with much
difficulty. The American government
seems determined to abide by the de.
mands which they have made, of bring
ing all their complaints forward together,
and are not disposed 70 be satisfied
with mere apology and PREPARATION for
the affair of the Chesapeake. The dis
puted points between the countries in
volve questions Of vital national impor-
lance and, however inclined we may
be to wish for afriendly termination Of
the difference, we see more reason to
fear than to hope. But the refusal Of
the American government to permit

self render war more probable. 1t was
understood, when the last accounts came
away, that the embargo remained in full
force, and that NO relaxation of the mea-
sures which the American Government
had adopted. was to take place till an
answer had been received to the dis.
patches transmitted to Europe. Mr..
Erskine remains in America. We IN

Every fresh article of intelligence
from Portugal confirms the lamentable
accounts previously received, and adds
new circumstances of misery. A gen.
teman who escaped ON board the Ley
den frigatc, from Lisbon, on the 18th

the sufferings undergone throughout
Portugal, for the want Of bread and
-four, are rendered more acute by the
bad prospect of the future harvest. The
lands had hot been refreshed by show.
er of rain for the last four months, dur.
ing the whole Of which north-easterly

hatred towards the French, occurred
