Augusta, April 8, 1809. 90 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.

In consequence of the arrival of a British armed vessel in the with the Secretary of the British Min ister on board, and with dispatches from Mr. Pinckney, our Minister at the Com t ol London, an opinion was form ed yesterday by some, that the obnox ious British Orders in Council had been repealed or modified, so as to meet the expectations of this country ; but we arc info! rued by a very respectable gen tleman o‘ this city, who received a let ter from London by that conveyance, of the dale of the 1 Bill of February, that on taking the question on the rescind ing the Orders in the House of Lords, It was lost, 70 voting in the affirmative, and 115 against the rescinding.

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.” Mat.
