"1he French are beaten in every
part OF Spain, and are flying in every

prisoners OF war now in this city, "a
mong whom are several generals FIVE

all parts OF the state we receive advices of
inc same tenor as we had in this focus of
British corruption on Friday last NotwiIh.
standing the delusion which we regret to
see. the mistaken friends Of Mr.. Monree
acting IN Virginia, we can assure them that
Mr.. Madison will have every vote of this
state; 1t is deplorable, that men of worth
should separate themselves from their friends
on hersonai question when such shadows
hope.
n magnanimous acquiescence, where pub
NC OPINION is so decisively expressed, would
be more consistent with the character both
OF Mr. Monroe and Mr.. Clinton's friends
whereas, while these gentlemen stand with
suIlen reserve, the rash and d. sperate
persons who have chung to them, rather from
interest than affection, are sowing the seeds
OF discord and suspicion, Of doubt and de-
traction, among men who ought to be united
