PHILADELPHIA, March 27.
On Friday last, a writ was issued out
of the district court of the United States
for this district, commanding the Mar
shal to arrest and detain the bodies of
Elizabeth Sergeant and Esther Waters,
executrix’s of David Rittenhouse, de
ceased, until they should comply with
the decree of the court in Olmstead’s
case; and on the following clay, the
marshal, Mr. Smith, attended by two
of his officers, proceeded to the house
of one of the executrix’s,Mrs. Sergeant,
in order to execute the writ. Since
Thursday morning, a regular guaid
composed of a detachment of the mili
tia of the state, and under the command
of Gtn. Bright, has been kept at the
houses of both of the executrix’s. On
the approach of the marshal, the centry
presented his bayonet, and forbid any
attempt to enter the house, at the peril
of his life. In a few minutes, eight
men (in uniform) and armed with mus
kets and fixed bayonets, joined their
comrade, and, as he had done, present
ed their bayonets to the breast of the
marshal and his officers, declaring that
they would prevent his entering the
house. The sergeant of the guard ap
peared, and confirmed the determina
tion and conduct of the men. The
marshal having stated his object and
produced his writ, demanded again an
opportunity to execute it, but the bay
oritts were still kept pointed against
him. He then required the name of
commanding officer, and that he should
he suit for. After about half an hour j
Gen. Bright appeared (out of uniform)
and immediately ordered the men to
charge bayonet. Mr. Smith in a firm
and resolute manner, stated to Gen. B.
his object, and was immediately inform
ed by the General, that an attempt to
enter the house would be at the hazard
oi his life, as he was determined to op
pose and prevent him.-—The marshal
then read his Commission and the writ,
and enjoined those who were in array
before him to withdraw. They were
informed by him that by the constitu
tion and laws of the United States, the
array ol military force against the exe
cution ol process issued out of the court
ol the United States is treason, and
any opposition to such process withforce
a high misdemeanor. That he was rcso
lute!}’ determined to execute his writ,
and it those who opposed him wished
time for consideration and deliberation,
it should be granted. Should lie be
prevented performing his duty he would
call on the posse of the district to assist
him. 1 o this oiler of time general
Bright replied, that none was required.
Mr. Smith then ordered the military in
| the name of the United States to lay
j down their arms, and immediately ad
vanced ; but by general Bright they
i were commanded to stand firm, and the
lives of the marshal and his officers
would have been sacrificed had a fur
ther attempt been made, to execute the
% writ.
At the house of Mrs. Esther Waters
the other executrix, the same opposi
tion was made, and by the same per
sons, who observing the marshal pro
ceeding to her door hastened forward Sc
met him.
Mr. Smith now retired. He had
found every exertion vain, and was satis
fied, as all present must have been, that
the resolution present must oppose him,
however fatal might be the conse
quences, would not be abandoned.
March S 9.
AVe are informed tnat the marshal is
taking measures to call and organize
the posse of the district, in order to ex
ecute the process in Olaistead’s case.
As the resistance is made by men un
der arms, we are assured the marshal
will arm the posse.
NORFOLK, March 4.
It is with real concern, that we now
inform the friends of freedom and na
tional independence, that the Spanish
nation has fallen under the dominion
of the Napoleon dynasty. AVe have
not been able to procure any papers,
but we have learned the following very
interesting particulars, brought hr his
Britannic majesty’s sloop or war Rosa
mond, captain Walker, in 41 days from
England, arrived yesterday in Hamp
ton Roads.
There had been no general action
between the French and British armies ;
the former harassing the latter in their
retreat. The day preceding the em
barkation of the British army, was that
on which they suffered most, on the
heights near Corunna, end where sir
John Moore and general Anstruther
was killed, with grtat loss ol other offi
cers and men.
We learn that what led to these' dis
astrous events, was the treachery of
Castanos, and another Spanish general i
(not Blake') who actually went over to
the French in a critical juncture, with a
view to betray the British army into the
hands of Napoleon, which nothing hut
its great courage am) perseverance pre
vented.
Joseph Bonaparte had returned to
Madrid, from whence addresses ft@m
all quarters were coming in to him.
The fate of Saragossa, we have not
learned, bu* expect from the general
complexion of the gloomy intelligence,
that it has fallen, with its brave com
mander and garrison, with the rest of
the nation—the Junta, and persons
most obnoxious to the French were at
Cadiz, but as to the course meant to be
pursued, we have not distinctly under
stood. The British fleet was at Cadiz,
and it is supposed that the fleets of Spain
and France in that port, with the junta,
will quit Cadiz under the protection cf
the British fleet. Napoleon, had re
turned to Paris, and accounts of his ar
rival there were received in England
before the Rosamond saiLd.
It is stated that the disasters in Spain,
had produced no change in the popular
ity of the ministers.
An expedition of 15,000 British
troops were preparing for Cadiz, which
place cannot be taken by land.
We hear nothing of American af
fairs. There are dispatches from Mr.
! Pinckney for our government, by this
vessel.
In the Rosamond came passenger
Char tics Oakley, Esq. secretary of
the legation of his Britannic Majesty to
the United States.

REPLY.
Gentlemen,
I have just had the happiness of re
ceiving your affectionate letter of the
19th inst. So acceptable an attestation
of the personal good will, and of the
kind approbation of the officers of the
Navy, on the NeW-York station, is to
me highly pleasing. Whatever may
have been the suggestions of my own
mind, as to my humble endeavors, it
is extremely grateful to me to under
stand, that in your estimation they have
contributed to the advancement of our
naval establishment.
From a cordial attachment to the of
ficers, resulting from a personal know
ledge of their honorable, patriotic and
manly principles, and from a thorough
persuasion of the great national value
of their professional acquirements, I
will assuredly “ continue to feel a lively
interest in the fair fame and prosperity
of the Navy of the United States.”
I beg you gentlemen to accept for
yourselves, and for the officers on the
New-York station, my best wishes and
a sincere assurance of the affectionate
regard with which I have the pleasure
to be your’s and their friend.

repealed or modified, so as to meet the
expectations of this country ; but we
arc info! rued by a very respectable gen

POSTSCRIPT.
A bill has been introduced into the
House of Representatives of Pennsyl
vania, (which we are advised is likely
to become a law) the effect of which
will be to insure a present compliance
with the decree of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case of Cim
stead by an appropriation to indemnify
the Executrixes of David Rittenhcusc.
The principal reasons assigned in the
preamble for this step arp, that “ all
embarrassments may be removed/’ and
that “ the firm attachment which Penn
sylvania nas always displayed towards
the federal union requires that an un
seasonable conflict with the constituted
authorities ot the federal government
should, if possible, be avoided, more
especially at the present moment of in
ternal as well as external peril.”
