'tion. He will not now pledge himself

20 oppose removal.
When we take glance at the situa-
ton OF Brooke county, the hearing of all
this cannot be misunderstood. Charles
town, the county seat, is about seven
miles from the lower boundary of the
county, and about thirty FIVE from the
upper. Though the upper part of the
county is thin and broken, it supports a
considerable population. Two thirds of
the inhabitants of Brooke county reside
above line drawn due east from
Iharlestown. 1t would therefore be
comfortable thing, to shove the county
seat OF Ohio thirty or forty miles down
the river, and extend the lower bounda-
ny OF Brooke county, SO as to establish
the seat OF justice permanently at
Charlestown: and if the FederaIists of
Wheeling, n support Of party principles,
can be induced to further the project, it
will be so much the more likely to sue
ceed. Ii any man can explain Mr..
DoddridSe's whole conduct, so as to
escape this conclusion, he shall have NV
thanks.
Upon what principles of sound poll
~ vi SOOu Sense, Can the people OF u
h'o county, opposed to removal of the
seat OF justice, support Mr.. Doddridge's
electlonS Let it be granted that he
saved the seat OF justice last year; vet
1t IS manifest he was not governed bv
the interests OF Wheeling. He reserved
1t only tor future disposal. Like glut-
ton, he Will not, on one dav, Join with
company to devour a delicious morsel.
because he hopes, upon the next dav,
20 have it al 10 himself. Besides, he
is afraid to advocate removal to Grave
creek. Let Iomlinson succeed in a re-
moval OF the seat OF justice from Wheel
ing TO Grave creek, and it establishes
precedent for removing the seat Of JUS
tcc from Charlestown TO Harman's
creek or Holidays cove. The same
ostensible reasons will exist, and will be
acted on to save Appearances.
Let 1t, however, be conceded, that
removal is necessary and must take
place are we not deeply interested in
opposing the plan proposed by bod
bridge If we are added to Brooke,

population will give to the county seat;

INTELLIGENCE.
PORTLAND, Feb. 20.

Capt. Slower, of the brig Delaware,
arrived at this port on Monday last, in
80 days from St. Andero, (Spain) Cap
tain S. informs, that he was induced TO
leave that place without waiting to take
full cargo on board, fearful that all A.
merlcan vessels would be stopped.
On the 18th of January information
was received by the American Consul,
that brig belonging to Norfolk, and
from thence bound to Bilboa, had been
captured within r leagues from the port,
by French privateer, and carried into
St. Antonio, for having spoken an Eng
glish armed brig, which according to
BonaParte's proclamation blockade, is
sufficient reason for plundering and con-
demning American vessels.
On the same day, the French consul
informed him, that the late DEGREES Of
the French Emperor were tantamount
to declaration of war against the Uni
ted States, and advised him to hasten
his departure.
Captain Slower was advised bv the
vlce-consul, as well as by his consignee,
that In consequence of the alarming ST.
tuation OF the two countries France
and the United States) his business re-
CURED the utmost expedition, in order
to secure him passport from the place.
these aPprehensiOns were repeated the
next day, in consequence of letter
from Mr.. Erving, consul general at
Madrid, to the vice consul at St.Andero.
advising that it was necessary that all
American vessels should depart imme
diately. His apprehensions for their
safety were created by intelligence Of an
embargo on all American vessels at
Bordeaux, but did not learn on what ac-
count. The L. S. Consul at St. Ande-
70, IN letter to capt. Slower, confirmed
the above.
About the first Of January there was
general rejoicing at St. Andero, in
consequence of the combined feet of
France and Russia, having safely arriv-
ed at French port on the Straits.
1t was reported that $4,000 French
troops were marching through Spain,
for the westward-destined for Portu-
gal, and that provision was Transporting
from different parts of Spain, for the in
habitants OF Portugal, who were in

fected by it. Elizabeth-town, situate on
the borders of a barren and mountain

thing: Charlestown may. Whatever ir-
ritation we may feel at the removal, it
is to be hoped we shall have wisdom e.
nough to make the best of the evil.
lam far from supposing our condition
desperate. believe that, considering
the general interest of the county, the
county seat is properly fixed that re-
moval would produce more inconveni-
encc than accommodation. 7 believe
that if proper and judicious representa-
tons are made, the Legislature will not
be disposed to interfere and / submit,
whether we can expect that these repre-
sensations Will be made by Mr.. bod
bridge, under present circumstances.
1t is said by some, that Mr.. bod
bridge will certainly be elected, and if
we oppose him, he will then advocate
removal. l believe Mr.. Doddrdge cal
culates that he will be elected in spite
OF us; and it is quite probable he calcu-
lates upon our fears. In this wish him
to be disappointed. But what have we
to fear2 Nothing SO much as his plan
of cutting up our county. While he
holds and declares his present opinions,
he is more dangerous as friend, than
as an enemy. His conduct tends direct
ly TO discourage and dishearten our
friends, and to stimulate our opponents
to more vigorous exertion.
1t may be asked, to whom should we
give our support? 1 answer, let events
determine. | would never ask a Fede-
ralist to vote for David Chambers an
obscure, chattering, conceited young
ster, who few years ago came into our
state wandering singing master, would
disgrace the Senate Of Virginia. l have
understood that young man in Harri-
son county, of the name Of Pindall, is a
candidate. He possesses tolerable ia
Tents, and some laudabIe ambition. He
has no interest i'll the removal of our
seat of justice, and would no doubt do
what he thought was right upon the
subject. If there is any chance of his
success, it might be proper to give him
preference. But in no event would
vote for a man, whom | suspected of

LONDON, Mav 6.

A French artillery officer of rank has lately
written letter from Danatia to a brother
ci...ccr in the north of Germany, in which he
assures the latter tha: the expedition against
the British territories in tie East Indies, will
certainly go forward both on the part Of the
French and Russians, whose combined armies
are to cooperate. Marmont is said to have
the chief command. The French army,
reinforced by troops from Dalmatia to Astra-
can, where it will be joined by the Russians.
Various plans of finance have a.eIy been
submitted to the consideration OK government:
but that which is said to have met with most
appreciation, and is likely to lie adopted, is
founded upon the principle Of life annuit;es.
According to this plan, government: will
grant annuities to the amount clone million

is estimated at . millions, to the full extent
of which the public debt will of course be di-

selves for the truth Of this report. There is
nothing new in this plan of granting annuiliss
