cres of Land, lying on Conedogwinet-Creek. Cumber
land county, about fix miles from Shippenfoargh, in
Letterkenny township: It is exceeding well timbered,
and watered by federal streams, and the creek runs
above a mile through it ; there is about 40 or 50 acres
cleared, with a square log-house on it ; about five or
fix acres of good meadow made, and a large quantity
of rich bottom, which, when cleared, will make excel
lent meadow; this bottom is rich strong land. Ths

have a fufficiency of bottom and upland. Any person in

ed of the terms, which will be easy, by applying to
ROBERT JONES, in Union, between Second and

October 5,.
who have come round the land, report, that the wind
t he loth, iith, and 12th, was variable between the
north weft and south-west ; by which we may natural
ly suppose that la mothe Pequet and his prize failled
iito Brest, those winch being as fav< urable as they can
blow for them, which puts an end to the flattering ex
pectation that admiral Darby might go his return 1^
te r cept them.
FOR S A L E,
The old eftabliffied Ferry, a
little below the Fills of Trenton, on the Jerky fide,
with two good BOATS, and any quantity cf Land,

poling of the Ferry with about 15 acres of Land, pleas
antly situated, having a handsome front on the river
Delaware, and extending up the Ferry lane, oppefite
colonel Cox's land; part of which 15 acres adjoining
the river, commands a most beautiful and extensive
prefpea, and is of course capable of very great improv
ident.
Any person inclining to become a purchaser, may
know the terms (which will not be unreafonabL) by
applying to HUGH RUNYAN, near Trenton.
