IT The following is from the E'a7Ni-
err" the leading Madisonian paper in Vr-
ginia-it would appear from 1t that Gene-
raj Porterfield is marked out as one OF the
victims to the humane policy OF our would
be Presidents satellites, for an honest express
sion Of his sentiments with respect to the
ruinous measures OF the present admin
stration. I'D.
6 The reader Will be astonished to see
such resolutions and sentiments from Nirgi-
MA, as were proposed by the Meeting at
Staunton. The consolation is, that 7us have
comparatively so small a number Of men,
who would adopt such sentimerts.-Gen.
Porterfeid's case is understood TO be before
the Executive Couneii.-He is one OF those
whom they odrised to take command OF the
detachment of 100000 troops, which is to
be drawn from Virginia. first thing is

such thing as rescinding an Advice OF

By the arrival OF the shin Sally, Hastings;

August IS; thes however contain no mel
lisence from Spain OF later date, rhan IS re-

The following note was handed to capt
Hastings Just before he Sc sal from Ma
laga -
Mr.. Kirkpatrick begs leave to inform
capt. Hastings, that the post just arrived,
brings Official information, that the French
army in Madrid had demanded to capitu-
late. The Governor of Madrid, by desire
of Joseph Napoleon, SEPT dispatches toGen.
Caseanos, to that effect thinking his Veto
rieus army was marching towards the CAPT
tai, immediately after the surrender Of Du-
pont. It's rot known what Castanos an
swered but it is most probable he will not
have admitted of any terms, bat left the
French army to understand, q, treat with
Gen. Cuestas, who WAS near Madrid, with
an army OF t2o, 900 men. It IS generally
thought that before The 10Th of this month,
(August1 Madrid viii be in our possession

The populce hold in recollection the Cd of
Nav, and the quantities Of innocent blood
then shed there. Advices from Catalonia,
mention, that Barcelona, and its iortresses
had been taken by the Catalonians.
Capt. Hastings says, thar the report OF
the capture Of Barcelona and its fortresses,
was questioned at Gibraltar.

Yet the objects OF the great number are to
obtain safer asylum from oppression, the
benefits Of their industry and enterprise. and
an equal participation Of the rights and pri-
