IN pursuance of an act of Congress, you
re called on by the late commissioners to at
end in person or by proxy. at Washington,
she I'd May next, to elect five Directors, q
Treasurer and Clerk. | take the liberty thro'
his medium to offer myself candidate as
Your Clerk. The advantage to the Alexan-
tirians OF the clerk residing in Alexandria as
he Office Is to be kept in Washington, is CO.
Iious, and no injury can possibly arise from
this arrangement to the Stockholders in the
City. twill render unnecessary in case of
transfers, that the persons conveying or re-
ceiving the conveyance should repair to the
clerks Office In the City to have the neetLul
done. True it is, that it may be done by
power Of attorney but the trouble and ex-
pence attendant thereon is. an Inconvenience,
independent OF the necessity Of an agent to
effect the transfer; whereas the clerk residing
in Alexandria might be the means Of saving
that expence and trouble by keeping transfer
book there.
The lively interest have taken in the pro-
motion Of the Bridge, in which at present
own in my own name and those of others, l46
shares, | hatter myself will entitle me TO
preference over any that has no interest there
in. | Shall be content to receive whatever e.
molument the service may be deemed worthy
of, Or as low as any competitor that may be
presented for your suffrage.

is too much reason to apprehend, would
Tor an indefinite time, at least, be di-
verted from its regular channels, by the
oosUuctlons which state Of hostility
VIII naturally present to its Just appro-
| Prlat'on, IN the event OF hostile deter
mination on the part of the American
government. Such result, it is to be
feared, would be productive of extensive
and general distress ia this country, and
greatly augment that already felt in the
manufacturing districts in the North.
owing to suspension Of the demand for
the American market followinp so close
" the privation of the trade with the
European continent.
Amongst the many important conse-
quences OF a rupture with the United
States, are disadvantages which would
accrue to the commercial interests at
large, from being deprived of trading
through the only neutral medium now
lett them; and the general Inconvenience
and partial distress which must be ex-
Perlenced by his maiestv's subjects in
the West India islands, In case Of such
a war taking place. The advantage
should also be considered, of preserving
the American market open to cur &C.
cess tor timber and naval stores and
also the benefits which this country
might, IN the present state of Europe,
derive from America, as a cranarv,
should period of scarcity rccur, and
good understanding be preserved.--
There is great reason to believe. that if
the late orders in council are acted upon
as they now stand, without any modifi- |
cation, Gas they refer to articles the
growth Of the United States,) it will
tend to produce in the minds ofthe 90
vernment, and of the people of the u
nlted States, feeling Of determined
hostility to this country; inasmuch as o.
bllglng American vessels, laden wholly
with the produce of their soil, to enter
INTO our ports and take out clearance
from thence, will be received as novel
and veXatious interference in the inno-
cent commerce of an independent and
neutral nation and in the event Of the
American government not being indu-
ced at once to resort to acts Of direct
hostility, (Which is most to be appre-
hended,) it may Immediately adopt re-
strictiVe commercial regulations in re-
taliatiOD which will in ,nsct La ,,,-,,. H.
