A premium will be offered at the next Arlington Sheep Shearing, (30th Au gust, IS 10) for the bvst model cf a Na tional Military Dress, to be adopted to the military service of the U. States in general, and the Mili'ia in pir icular. The Dress to consist of a skort Jacket, with sleeves mide of th? ordinary sizt , loose, Sc resemblino; the Hunting Shirt of the Western Riflemen. The body color to be white, green, blue, or yellow, and ornamented wilhbuttons, bindings, crd; fringes, laces, or tasseh, of any color. The Cap or Bonnet, to be red, containing a cover ol leather within th crown, water proof, and a small leather (lap over the eyes the lea'her to be concealed. The Bonnet to be pucker ed on the crown, and to haw a saih ol blue and white netting around it, at the left side a tlack leather cockade, with loops and tassel. white, and three fea thers the centre blue, and aine inches in height, the ethers white, and six inches in height. In the front a small steel plate, with the name of tlie State, and Regiment-, to which the candidate may appertain. The materials to be either cottcn, or flax, of the growth and manufacture of the U. States, tftd the workmanship to be exclusively American". A special account of the expense to be given in with the cTress. The sewing to be done by women alone. The smallest foreign article,'will exclude the candidate. Ths materials for this work are within the rsach of every husbandman ; his bai n door will furnish the plumes, and his field supply the cloth, thread and trim, ming-s. The premium, twesty dol lars. If the Highlander drllghts in his bon net, ana" plaid, which he wears in all climates, and would sooner part with his life, than the habit of his fathers Why should not the soldier of Ameri can Freedom appear with patriotic dig nity and pride, while clothed in the pro duce of his native soil ? Hero, the pomp oJF war may be derived from those domestic resources which give industr, wealth, and honor to oar country. The soldier be attired for the field in the of ferings of duty, or affection ; perhaps the work of a wife, a sister or a friend whenever he looks upon his humble I garb, his family and fire-side will arise in sweet remembrance, and make each thread appear an amulet for his safety? The American matron, like the Spar tan mother, may bid her son " return victorious, or return no more." May tell him, that the garment which was the work of her own hands, should give a warmth to his heart, and inspire him with love and duty m the cause of his country. However foreign nations may ridicule our affected splendor, 8c the yatn mimic ry of wishing to shin tin. Iborrwcd plumes, they will always feel a particu lar respect for the sight of an Ameri can Hunting Shirt, well knowing that the men who wear that badge, are the growth of our clime, and have ripened in our soil. 11 the American Republic is to be preserved in those principles by which it was founded, then should every thing which is national, be esteemed as virtu ous, Sc the rising generation be taught to venerate our domestic interests as the source of their country's stability and welfare. If luxury and the affectation of fo reign splendor, are to be attribute of a nation whose greatness has arisen from her own virtuous integrity, then have our statesmen toiled, our heroes bled in vain, and the Spirit of the Revolution ma) weep for the degeneracy of the last of Republic's, whose early fame seemed destined to restore the better ages of humanity. The Proprietor of the Arlington In., stitu'ion, begs leave to observe, that no particular state or district is compre hended in this advertisement ; but the premium offered for example and the benefit of our country ; t large, GEORGE V. I CUSTIS. Arlington, .May 22, 1309 rHOM THE ESSEX REGISTER. CHINA, While we rc expecting to hear from the French who had penetrated into Persia with an intention of obtain ing un influence over the affairs of the Lngliih in India, w hear of the trench in the empire of China. When we had ascertained the population upon the ex treme parts of China, especially the western, no natural obstacles appeared to the means of penetrating this em pire from that quarter. It was the po licy of China, which had kept it in lat ter years from interruption. Should the court admit European visitors, it might easily as before have been pene trated by their designs. To compare with the nows that the French had in troduced the Christian religion into Chi na, we produce the letter of Fatner Pel iason, datiM at Canton, Dec. 9, 1700 The Emperor of Cliina not only granted to the French Jesuits to reside in a house of his palace, but a place near their residence, upon which they might buiTd a church, and promised to contri bute to this design. In January follow ing, Father Gerbillon, made, known to the Emperor their purpose to raise a church, aid their confidence that he woahl contribute to it. The Emperor j not only granted this and ether favors, hut expressly commanded one of the Mandarins of the palace to superintend the building of it. It is now almost fi nished. When the Emperor gave per mission to build the church, he said he contributed in honor of their religion and persons." If the French Jesuits of the beginning of the past century, had such influence beyond other men, we cannot doubt that the superior ta lents of those who exercise religious functions in -France , might succeed with all the powers of eloquence in fa vor of a Christianity, which would much less interfere with the mannersof a court or the established usages of an empire. A late traveller, Mr. Barrow, has favor, ed the world with the following reflec tions on his travels in China, during Lord Macartney's Embassay. He informs lis that the old king resigned the thrdhe to h:s son in 1796, after a reign of 615 years and died in 1799, at 83 years of age. He observes after the highest praise Of the lour Emperors who had been on the throne The present Em peror is said to possess the learning and prudence of his father, with . firmness : but it & probable he will havs a more dirncnlt task in governing the empire than either of his predecessors. In proportion 9s the Ta. :ar power has in creased, t?lry h ive become less solici tous to conciliate the Chinese. All the heads of departments, are now Tartars. The ministers are all Tartars, and most of the high offices of trust and power, are filled by Tartars. And although tne ancient language 01 me wumi; stilt preserved as the Court language, yet it is more than probable, that Tar tar pride, encreasing with its growing power, will ere long be induced to a doptitsown." Eord Macartney observes Every change in the state of man ought to be gemle! and gradual, other wise it is commonly dangerous to him self, and intolerable to others. Thus, then, the Chinese, if not led to emanci pation by degrees, but let loose upon a burst of enthusiasm, would probably fall into all the excesses of folly, suffer all the paroxysms of madness, and be found unfit for the enjoyment of rational free dom."

SIR JOHjY JS1O0RE's CELEBRATED LAST LETTER. Yesterday we : were favored with a copy of the following Letter of Sir John Moore, which has just been prinied, in pursuance of the order of the House of Commons, and concerning which great curiosity has been excited. Extract of a Letter from Lieutenant General Sir John Moore, to Viscount Castlereagh, dated Corunna, January 13, 1809. " Situated as this army is at present, it is impossible for me to detail to your Lordship' the. events which have taken place, since I had the honor to address you from Astorgo, on the 3 1st of De cember : I have therefore determined to send to England, Brigadier General Charles Stewart, as the officer best qua lified to give you every information you can want, both vHth respect to our ac tual situation, and the events which have led to it. ( . " our Lordship knows, that jfM had followed my own bpinionj as a military. man, 1 should have retired with the ar my from Salamanca. The Spanish ar . mies were then beaten ; there was, ho ;4 Spanish force to which we could unite, J : and I was satisfied that no efforts would be made to aid us, or to favor the cause in which they were engaged. : V' " I was sensible, however, that the . apathy and indifference of the Spa niards would never have been believed . that had the British been withdrawn ; the loss of the cause would have been r imputed to their retreat, and it was ne cessary to risk this army to convince : the people of; England, as well as the. rest of Europe, that the Spaniards had, neither the power nor. the inclination tot make efforts . for themselves. It was for this reason that I made the march to Sahagun. As a diversion, it succeed ed ; I brought the whole disposable force of the French against this arm y and it has been allowed to foilow me without a single movement being made to favor my retreat. -The people of the Gallicias, though armed, made no attempt to stop the passage of the French through iheii mountainsoThey abandoned their dwellings at our ap proach, drove away their carts, oxen, . and every thing that could be of the smallest aid to the army The con sequence has been, that pur sick have been left behind j and when our hofrses , or mules failed, which, on such march" es, and through such a country, was the case to a great extent, baggage, am munition, stores, Scc and even money, were necessarily destroyed or abandon- ' ed. ','. " I am sorry to say, that the army whose conduct-1 hed such reason? to ex tol on its march through Portugal, and on us arrival in a pain, nas totally changed, its character since it began to retreat, I can say nothing: in its ia vor, but that when there was a pros pect of fighting the enemy, the men were then orderly) and seemed pleased and determined to do their duty. In front of Villa Franca, the Trench came up with the reserve, with which I was . covering the retreat of the army ; ihcy attacked it at Calcebeles. I retired1 . covered by the 95th regiment march ed that flight to Herresias and from thence to Nogales and Lugo, where I had ordered the different divisions , which preceded to halt and collect. AC Lugo, the French again came up with us. They attacked out advanced posts on the 6th and 7th, and .were repulsed ' in both attempts, with loss on our side? I heard from the prisoners taken, gth at three divisions of the French army were come up, commanded by Marshal Soult ; I therefore expected to. be at tacked on the morning ofth'e 8th. It was my wish to come to tljat issue'; ' had perfect confidence in the valour of the troops, and it was1 only by crippling the enemy that we could hope, either td retreat or to 'embark unmolested. I made every preparation to receive the, attack, and drew out the army in the morning' to offer battle. This was not Marshal Soult's object. He either did not think himself sufficiently strongy or . he wished to play, a surer game, by at-" tacking us on our march, or during pur embarkation. The .couritry was inter 4 sected, and his position too strong for me to attack with an inferior force. The want of provisions would not-enable rhe to wait longer. I marched that night ; and in two forced marches, bivouacing? for six or eight hoursin, the rain, I reached Betanzos on the; tenth instant. " At Lugo,' I was sensible of the im possibility of reaching' Vigtf, which was' at too great aidistance, and offered na advantages to embark in the facepf au , enemy. My intention was then to have retreated to the Peninsula of Betanzos, where I hoped to find a position to co ver the , embarkation of the army in-A- , res cr Redes Bays; but having slnt an officer to reconnoitre if, by his report I was determined to prefer his. plscie, I , gave notice to the Admiral f u.y jnten Viort, and begged that! theiiran shorts ' might be brought to Coiiinha i had I found them here oh.niy arrival on the r 1 1th, the embarkation would easily have, been effected,-for I; had gained several : marches on the French. They have now come up with 'tis, the transports have not arrived j my position in frrnt of this place is a very bad one ; 'and this place, if I am forced to "retire into-it, is commanded within musket. shot and the harbor - will be so commanded b cannon on the coast, that noshij will beable'to layin it.- In shorr, myLord, ! 8 J I I 13 .1 I J..if :.
