no H E Subferiber ptopofirig, in the course

France, offers his House and Lot in tewn for sale. The
fortunate situation of this lot, bounded by Gay, Market
and Frederick-streets, and diredlly opposite the Market
bouie; being so well known, requires little description,
either for its superior advantages in any public bufi
neis, its agreeableness and conveniency, or extensive ca
pacity for improvement. The house may well boast two
of the best Stores in Baltimore, either in the retail or
wholesale way, for size or ufefulnefs ; there are apart
ments Sufficiently capable of accommodating the largest
family, and the whole so contrived as to admit of two
or three divisions without injury. Any person wishing
to purchase this estate, may treat with the subscriber on
the premises, who has three Copper Stills, Coolers and
MHhing-tubs to fell, and Flax-feed. Current Conti
nental money, gold, silver, or bills of exchange on
