LATE AND IMPORTANT
FOREIGN NEWS.

-. PhilaGeLhhia, Sunday, October 2.
Yesterday arrived at this port the fast
sailing ship America, captain Lclar, 40 days
from Amsterdam. Capt. Lelar left Amster-
dam the 18th August, by special permission
obtained through the agency of gen. Arm
strong, for the purpose of bringing out Mr..
Baker. the bearer of the dispatches to France
by the St. Michaeps. Mr.. Baker landed at
Newcastle, and proceeded immediately for
Washington. Gen. Armstrong had made
repeated applications TO the French govern
ment without success, for permission for
vessel to bring out Mr.. Baker. He had
therefore to proceed to Holland where, at
ter much Importantly, this conveyance was
allowed !; the embargo in Holland being ri
gidly maintained. Captain Lelar informs,
THAT THE CONCENTRATIONS OF AMERI-
CAN VESSELS AND PROPERTY BY TIE
PRIZE COURTS AT PARIS were very nu-
merous. Nothing which came under their
cognizance escaped In Holland there ex-
listed total depression of every kind of bu
siness.
But the most important ard pleasing art-
Gle of intelligence received by the America,
is the following, which we have the assu-
rance of Captain Lelar and his intelligent
passengers, is entitled to full and implicit
credit:
On the 18th Sept. long II, SO, w. lat
30 n. was boarded by the British frigate
Euridice, 9 days out from Lisbon, the board
ing officer from which informed, that Gen.
JUEOYhad cafituLated 10 the English and
Portuguese forces & that I'll Portugal was
in possession of the patriots and English );
and that the Russian feet lying in the Ia
gus had been taken by the British and sent
to England.
Capt. Lelar was boarded by the British
Jamaica frigate, the captain of which polite
iy favored him with London papers to the
18th of August, from which we extract the
following
1t would appear from one or two articles
in the latest papers 1--WE lave not the inter-
mediate papers of the / 1th and 9th August)
that Joseph Ronaparte had been obliged to
abandon the throne Of Spain but that with
characteristic prudence, he had carried off
all the wealth and paraphranalia of the
crog:n.
Yesterday morning arrived at this port,
the schr. Union Capt Baker IN so days
from Liverpool. BY her we have received
regular files of Liverpool and London Ca
zettes, the former to the 18th, the latter to
the 10th of Aug. Their principal contents
are subjoined.

RICHMOND, October 10, 1903.
Gentlemen;
From some information thar we
have received, we are indn::ed 20 b.
lieve, that the day of electing the T.
lectors OF the Presiden: and Vie PEE
sident of the United States i. unknown
to many of the people.--.We have
therefore thought it best TO resort to
this public method of informing YOU
and them, that the election takes place
throughout this State on Monday, the
9Th of November.
We must also request you, Gentle
men, to ommunicaie this information
to the citizens of your county, as ge-
neraily as possible, by hand-bilis cir
culated for this purpose. 1t is our OBJ
lect and wish TO have as general a suf.
irage as possible, throughout Virgil
MIA, on this important occasion. We
have no fears OF the success Of the Ma
olson Ticket throughout this State or
the United States. But it is best to
guard against every possible contin-
gency. The opponents of Mr.. Madi-
son will probably employ every exer-
ton in behalf ofhis competitors. Not
vote of theirs will probably be lost.
1t Is, besides, peculiarly important,
that the citizens of our sister states
should have as distinct sense as pos
sibie of the sentiments and dispositi-
ons of the people of Virginia.
We remain, gentlemen,
Respectfully,
