TO BE SOLD,
, At Public Auaion,
At Mr. Greenleaf's Tavern,
By JACOB WALDEN, Audioneer,
On Thursday the 13th day of March next, at three
o'clock P.M.
THE Dwelling House of the
fubferiber, and the land adjoining ; in two
Lorr, viz. One lot 6, feet on Vaughan flreet, and
80 feet on Cross-street, and 72 feet-Qp the North
line, having 65 feet width at the east end of
the lot, with a good well of water within those
bounds, and a pump to the welk The other
lot is 134 feet on Cross-street, including theHoufe,
and ,4 feet deep ; this lot affording a large
paved /ard at the East end of the House and a
fufficient piece of ground for a garden at the
Well end. Those premises have been advertised
for Ale in one lot, but concluding that it may be
more conducive to the convenience of purchasers
to divide it into two lots, I have done it so as to
render the division more eligible, # which may be
observed and examined by those who incline to
become purchasers or infoetted by other persons,
any day previous-to the Ale.
' In a farmer advertisement a description of the
House was given, which renders it unheceffary to
add any thing further in this : as the eflate is gen
erally known to those who it is probable will be
come purchasers, but any further particulars of
the eflate; also the conditions of payment may be
known (previous to the fate) by applying to
JOSHUA WENTWORTH.

WA NTED—As an attendant in afmall family,
A Girl between 12 and 15 years of

WANTED-A convenient Tenement in the
centre of the town—lnquire of the Printer.
A London paper (peaking of the late revolution
in France, observes, that the American form is that
which is to be the basis of Buonaparte's new infli
tution ; that is, a government of two elective hou
ses, and a president, ulfo elective, which prelident
not one or the prefect consuls will be.
A member now of the senate of the United
States said to a member of Congress in the sum
mer season of 1798, to the following effect—" fir
the constitution is not fufficiently energetic, it
must be lengthened, and before five years are at
an end 1 am sure you (the republicans) will be so
well convinced of it that you will agree with us
to burn the parchment(meaning the federal consti
tution ;) if you do not then we mutt do it at the
point of the bayonet"—this lenator is certainly no
prophet though a brigadier.
'A marriage was lately celebrated at Wells
in England, which exciteda considerable de
gree of curiosity and entertainment. The
bride, Mary Evans, was born withoufarms,
but enjoyed the use of her feet in such a
manner as to be able by her toes to ^ut out
watch-papers, and work at her needle with
lingular facility, for many years past (he
has attended the principal fairs as.a ffiow,
and thereby acquired a fortune of £ 800. —
She is now between thirty and forty years of
age, of very diminutive stature, and with a
countenance certainly not overcharged with
feminine loveliness ; added to these, her eyes
are weak, and her voice is as deep and sono
rous as any boatswain's in the king's fer
vice,—but love, imperious love, who knows
no diferimination of rank or person, im
pressed this fpintter with passions ardent and
animated. The driver of her carivan, a
young man, named Simpson, was the obje&
of her choice ; time had made him familiar
to her deformity, and her riches “ lived in
his thought and played about his heart ;"
for after all, " money is your best match
nAker." In fine, thty were regularly afk
^d to church, and on Tuefday last were mar
ried amain before an amenfe concourse of
fpeaators. During the ceremony, some
difficulty arose as to the disposing ofthe ring,
the bride not having a finger on whio to
place it, but, at the earned solicitations of
the parties, this form was dispensed with.
From Callender's “ Prof peft before us."
Some of the majority who have voted for the
feditibn aft were undoubtedly sensible that it
broke thro' the constitution. On July 4th, 1798,
Alexander Martin made two Speeches againit it
in the Senates Immediately thereafter he voted
fofothe bill. When the house broke up he was
overtaken £ the foot of the flairs by Mr. Hender
fip, of Tennessee, and by Gen. Mason. The lat
ter spoke to him thus: " You made a good speech
for us. Martin and proved, I think, to any man's
• fatisfaftion, that.the bill was unconstitutional.—
How did you come to desert us." " I Bill think
the bill unconstitutional, anfwered\Martin, but the
damn'd printers, have got to such a height abiding
every body, that they must be checked." This
observation was made aloud, and in presence ot
feyeral persons. One of them replied, in adiftinft
voice, " this man has certainljUorgot that he took
an oath to" support the constitution." Gen. Mason
also rertiarked to Martin, that " fourteen days af
ter th, bill passed if any one should fay of it what
Martin had laid, he would be imprisoned for two
years, and finedih twqfhoufand dollars." Martin
perceived that tig haa*,:pe too far, and for some
days after he did not know how to hold up his
face id the senate ! [But he is still a senator !]
The ancient dominion, it is rumoured, is to
have the honour of furnifhing America with ano
ther Commander in Chief of the armies of the U
nited States, in the person of General Lee.
