Mr.. fohn Adams.-This unhappy old
ban is perhaps in one respect, rendering
be federal party greater service than he
yer has done during his life for he now
Ills the people that the measures of his adj
hnitsation did not accord with the senti-
Pents of the leading federalists OF the day.
/ hose obnoxious measures, then, which
Pst the party their popularity and forced
|pwer to change hands, were not the mea-
pres of the federal party, but of John A
ans. Let this be remembered. | have
3 fears in saying let this be remembered,
Pr whenever the federalists come into pow
again, it will be seen they will be as far
ON adopting the measures and policy of
kdams as of Jefferson. We are at length
bout TO regain the power which the wild
d waverlng policy of the former lost US,
Pa we only wait for the opportunity to
Pnyince the people, that we are the true
fsciples of Washington not members of
e school of John Adams.

We were yesterday favored with Hall
fax paper of the 10Th instant, mentioning Tie
arrival of the Packet Mary, from Falmouth,
for New York Her Londoa papers were
to May 6, The latest by one day. The
following are the only new articles which we
we find extracted.
LONDON, Hay G.
Letters, received from Holland, mention
a report of the king of Saxony having been
arrested by order OF BonaPares, on suspicion
of having carried on secret corresPon-
dence with the emperor Of Austria, but
this is not confirmed.
On the 28th of March, lord Collingwood
sailed from Mnorca for the Bay OF ioulon,
with 1 sail of the line. We have not learn
ed, on this occasion, any thing, oy way OF
Gibraltar, respecting the South OF Spain.
Yesterday the admiralty had adv,ces iron.
Giiion, where the utmost activity prevailed
to augment The army IN thac quarter, and TO
improve It's discipline to which the mar
quis de l. Romano had particularly directed
his attention. A letter was also received
from Satander by q mercantile house. he
garrisons which we have before stated 70
have been much reduced, had not been re-
inforced, and some expectation was lndulg-
ed that the French would abandon as lnte-
nable, under their present circumstances,
the entire province Of Blscay.

The federalists and the democrats were
b wide apart, that those who pretended to
L moderate, insisted that there was no
Eay to restore political tranquility but by
|ompromse. But how could compromise
L effected The measures of the present
Executive thus far seem to point out a me-
bod which appearsvery practicable rulers
hosen by democrats !; measures taken from
he old federal school. Let the democrats
|upport the policy for sake of the men :
hid we will support the men for sake OF the
plicy. Thus will harmony be ensured,
bd what is of infinitely more importance,
ur country will be saved.

THE commissioners appointed by the Vir-
gaia legislature to receive subscriptions IN
the town oG Alexandria, for forming turn
pike road from Fauquler court house 10 IN
lerselt the Little River turnpike road, SlUe
notice, that they will attend 81 The CITY ito-
tel for that purpose, on Sal OhDAi, the
second day OF December, from ten oc:ock
till two, and from three till sunset As lev
Of the citizens of Alexandria are acquainted
with the part OF the country into which this
road leads, and the benefits which the com
merce Of the town may derive from II, 1t may
not be improper to state thatit passes through
the county of Prince William, great part CT
the county of Fauquier, approaching near to
Rappahannock,opening communication with
part of Prince William, the greater part OF
Fauquier. with prospect OF I'D lncohsidera-
bic part Of Culpcppcr. No road at this time
leading to tie town, brings greater advantages
to it than the proposed one promises. iade-
pendent of those advantages mentioned az
certainly resulting from it, there is the great
est probability that others will follow as soon
as it can be ascertained that this VIII be exc
cuted. It's reasonable to expect that the IN
habtants Of Augusta and Rockingham on the
other side Of the Blue Ridge, and OF Orange
& Madison on this side, will exert themselves
to open a road from Swiss Run Gap tc fau-'
olicr Court house. Should this be realised IL
will shorten the distance to Stanton at least
80 miles, and it is confidently believed should
such a measure take place, 1t Will be iound
thatg Alexandria is not above 90 miles farther
from Staunton than Richmond or Frederlcks-
bureh. Through stanton all the traders TO
the westward must pass in their way TO the
commercial towns, such saving OF distance
would draw most OF them this ay,trom waich
many important benefits may be derived At
this time line of Stages is established from
Abingdon to Stanton. Abingdon IS upwards
of 200 miles beyond Staunton Should the
roads alluded to take place, there can Dc NO
doubt of the Stages extending from stanton
to this 2lace. The road at present contem-
nlated reduces the distance from this town
TO Fauouier Court House to a miles, only
or miles farther shan from that place to Ere
dericksburg. The goodness ct The cohsen-
plated road to this place, and the superior au-
yantages of our market, reduces IL 10 a Ger
sainty that the bulk OF the trade from that pare
Of thc country will center here, IL proper
road be opened to it. The prospects OF great
commercial benefits resulting to the town
FROM the proposed measure, lequal II not SUI
perior to chose expected from the hls'ie n
YER Turnpike ii is hoped VIII hna lt r"s
citizens of Alexandra 10 contribute iioefai1
towards it. -,
