Esraet Of a letter from an american gentleman,
receivedin this tssrn, dated Atcant, 1r!y 2, 1908
ssThe 3Oth ult. we received official informant
yen from Valencia, that gen. Money, with his
army of about $4,000 men, and that they had
been repulsed three tifaes; III consequence OF
this news, the people of this place began to be
very uneasy, and Immediately made preparation
to defend themselves in case't they should come
here. The castle was Immediately furnished
with three months provisions, and they had be-
gun to shut UP entirely the gates OF the city,
waiting with great anxiety the news OF the De
cision of the battle, Knowing the fate OF the
whole province depended on the good or Ill sue
cess of the Valencians. Their anxiety wasyes-
terelay dispelletl by post dispatched b. the SUI
preme Tribunal of Valencia, with the hdngs
that the French after having attacked the c,ty Sc
ven hours, were completely defeated, with the
loss of between Z and 5000, and that the few
remaining had taken to their heels, happy to be
able to get off. However, they were followed,
and have no doubt ere this are all destroyed
Eight hundred friars were in the acton--they
fought with great bravery-near one half OF them
were killed
Should the French think of making us a vi
sit, they must do it with an army OF or 1900
men, and even with this number do not think
they could take the castle, for it's situation such
ti,ut Iron. =: ..,atl army would almost be-dc
stroyed before it could come to the cit,.
however continue our preparation tor defence,
and the inhabitants are all determined to defend
the CITY with vaior. A small French privateer
was brought in yesterday by a king gun boat.
She has but one paper, aPerinlssion to cruize,
signed by some marine captain, which / fancy
will not answer. The crew will probably be
hung, as they are suspected to be pirates"

81 arlington House, IN the I!strsct I Co,
luA5ia.
Al a time when the energies Of the na~
rion seem awakened to the state OF our To-
reign and domestic concerns, We conceive
that the important interests ct * agriculture
and Manufactures Should meet with consi.
derabe share OF the public discussion. Ceg-
tain it is, that al no period ct eur political
history could these National SUBJECTS excite
more interest or be more properly urged 10
the notice OF the pnblib mind Ire unsettled
and impending appearance of our foreign al,
fairs, and the present disturbed state OF the
European world, renders it doubly necessary
for the citizens of America TO cherish and
promote their domestic policy, whereby they
may derive these resources which are HOW
obtained from abroad and create wealth and
Industry within themselves. Too long have
these important and patriotic interests been
neglected. The nation now feels their want,
and we trust will duly provide for their sup
port. Government, hitherto engaged in other
concerns, will now cherish ti.ose domestic
institutions, which win preserve the nations
dignity and promote the peoples welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are
about to issue TO the public, it is not our pro.
vince to decide, but of the advantages TO BE-
derived from its sale we would beg leave to
say every thing Nlich aelsinterested exertion
In the cause of Domestic Manufacture Justly
aemands-And as the profits of this work,
after the expences of publication are paids
will be solely devoted to the purposes OF the
Arlington Institution, We may hope and con-
fdentIy expect a liberal patronage from
and patriotic community.
