VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of messrs. MACLEAN & MYER , will in future be sold by MR. NATHANIEL HART , only, in Lexington, messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, fore Throats and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS.
For the Cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in an hundred had occasion to take more than one, numbers not half a bottle.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Henry C. Soper , Kent County, Delaware.
"I have given the ague drops to a number of patients this fall, and with constant success; in some obstinate cases they acted like a charm, the diseases yielding in a day or two to this remedy, after resisting the barks for months, and when they had been thrown in the largest doses."
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
For corns speedily removing them root and branch without giving pain.
DR. HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—Juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea—frequent intoxication, or any other destructive injury, temperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—badlyings in, &c. &c.
And it is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Violent cramps in the stomach and back.  Nervous disorders  Consumptions,  Indigestion,  Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,  Loss of appetite,  Relaxations,  Impurities of the blood,  Involuntary emissions,  Hysterical affections,  Obstinate gleet,  Inward weakness,  Fluor albus, &c. 
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and sending forth from that organ new health and vigour into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without endangering it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores the neutralization which immediate evacuations have destroyed and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old, strains, and relaxations, numbness and weakness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chilblains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold and windy complaints in the stomach and bowels, flying pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experience sufficiently prove the superiority of the above medicines over all others, in the cure of the maladies we have enumerated.
Letter from Dr. Weatherburn , Wythe county, Virg. October 7, 1801.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard , which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in Materia Medica , and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease.
If you think this letter may be useful, you are at liberty to make it public.
P. WEATHERBURN.
Messrs. R. LEE & Co.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
PERSIAN LOTION.
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe is an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, from corrosive and replent minerals, (the basis of other lotion) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurfs, tatters, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration, which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, render the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident defluxions of rheums, dullness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers & wonderfully strengthening a weak sight—Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE.
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR.

FOR THE CURE OF VENEREAL COMPLAINTS.
The patent Indian Vegetable Specific, prepared by Dr. Leroux.
CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Description of worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres , or large round worm, the Cucurbitina , or short flat white worm, the Ascarides or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tania , or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape—this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning, bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—purging, with slimy and fetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs with lowness of spirits—flow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
This medicine, which is innocent and mild, as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders proceed.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance and agreeable taste.
As upwards one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, and of every age, have received benefit from this extraordinary medicine, a multitude of certificates of cures may be seen, in addition to those already published.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint—particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Letter from Mr. Benj. Williams , No. 50, Baltimore street, two doors above South-Gay-street.
Gentlemen,
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in the summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasting fast, his breath became fetid, an almost constant itching of the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore was successively procured. Each of these gentlemen in their turn declared worms to be the cause of his disorder, and exhausted their skill in attempts to expel them, pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had frequently heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges , but like many others, did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moor) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make a trial of them. I accordingly gave my son a dose, agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about 12 inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worm appeared. The child recovered, and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJ. WILLIAMS.
Messrs. Richd. Lee, & Co.

DEBATE
On Mr. Breckinridge's motion to repeal the act passed last session, for a new organization of the
JUDICIARY SYSTEM.
[Mr. Mason, in continuation.]
Notwithstanding the remarks of gentlemen, I am inclined to think these ideas of the extreme independence of the judges, and the limited powers of the legislature, are not very old, but that they are of modern origin, and have grown up since the last session of Congress. For in the law passed last session, that very law which it is now proposed to repeal, is to be found a practical exposition in direct hostility with the principle now contended for which does not betray that sacred regard for the office of a judge, that is, on this occasion professed: in that very law will be found a clause which abolishes two district courts. The 24th Sec. says expressly "the district courts of Kentucky and Tennessee shall be & hereby are abolished." Will gentlemen tell this House how this express provision came into the act of the last session; and will they say that though they voted for this law, yet no power exists in the legislature to abolish a court. It is true, that it has been said, that though you cut down two district courts, you promoted the officers by increasing their salaries and making them judges of the circuit courts, but the fact is, you have abolished their offices; they are judges no longer of the districts of Kentucky and Tennessee; and they are to every purpose, whatever may be their name, in reality circuit judges. Though you have not lessened their salaries, you have deprived them of their offices. However, therefore, gentlemen may calculate as to the benefit or injury done these two judges, the principle is not affected by any result—their offices are gone.
It is not enough to say, that though you destroyed their offices you offered them others with higher salaries. You took away from them, in express terms, their offices by abolishing the offices. You had stripped them of their offices, you had robbed them of their vested right and then to make friends, offered them a compensation; but whether the compensation thus offered for the deprivation they had suffered, was really equivalent to their loss, is a mere matter of calculation, and does not affect the constitutional principle. It is proper, however to observe, that they were no parties to the proposed compromise, and that indeed they had no choice left them. They were obliged to accept of what you offered them or have nothing. If they did not agree to become judges of the newly organized circuit courts, they could not remain judges of the district courts, for these courts were absolutely and completely abolished.
Were I, Mr. President, to make a calculation on the comparative increase of duties and additional salary, in the case of one of those gentlemen (Judge Innes, of Kentucky) I should have no hesitation to say, that the bargain which has been made without his consent, and without his being a party to it, is a very bad one for him. Knowing too his particular situation, I am persuaded that if the law had left him any election between his former and new situation, he would have preferred remaining where he was, and without a moment's hesitation, he would have rejected your proffered proposition, as it is called. This gentleman resides within a very few miles of Frankfort, where as district judge of Kentucky he held his court. Attached to domestic life, and enjoying all its felicities, engaged in and pleased with agricultural pursuits, he was never under the necessity even during the sessions of the courts, to sleep out of his own bed one night, or to be separated a single day from his family. He could every morning give direction for the management of his farm, and return early enough in the evening to see whether his orders were executed.
How is he situated under the change which has been forced upon him? Instead of attending one court almost at his door, your late law requires him to attend four. The nearest at Bairdstown, fifty or sixty miles from home. You oblige him to travel through dreary and inhospitable regions to the North Western territory, something short of an hundred miles and much greater distances to, and through still worse countries, Knoxville,
and Nashville, in Tennessee. In going from one to the other of those last mentioned places, he will have to pass through the country of the Cherokee Indians, nearly one hundred miles over the Cumberland mountains, where he will be exposed to every inclemency of weather, without a shelter to retire to, for there is not a house or a hut in the whole journey: a journey in which all travelers are obliged at all times, and unavoidable necessity, to sleep one night at least, and from the fall of rains, and rise of water courses, often many nights without a roof to cover them from the beating of the storm; and moreover where they are liable at every step to be robbed by the Indians, as I myself experienced passing through that wilderness. Can it be supposed, that the five hundred dollars added to the salary of judge Innes, should by a person situated as he was, be deemed a sufficient compensation for the additional duties, the toils, the dangers, and the deprivations, to which that law subjected him? In continuing to serve his country, I am sure he must have been influenced more by a sense of duty than a regard to private interest; or, a belief that the change was in any respect advantageous to him.
By the 7th Section of the law of the last session, which transforms the district into circuit courts, which melts down the judges, and recoins them, it is enacted, That there shall be a circuit court composed of one new circuit judge and two old district judges, to be called the 6th circuit. Have you not then established a new office by the destruction of the old one? Have you not done more? Have you not violated the Constitution by declaring by law, who shall fill this new office; though the constitution declares Art. 2d Sect. 2d That the President shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate shall appoint all officers which shall be established by law:
Where were these guardians of the Constitution—these vigilant centinels of our rights and liberties, when this law passed? Were they asleep upon their post? Where was the gentleman from New-York, who had on this debate made such a noble stand in favor of a violated Constitution? Where was the Ajax  Taleman of his party, or to use his own more correct expression, the Jason to which he belonged? Where was the hero with his seven fold shield? Not of bull's hide—but of brass—prepared to prevent or to punish this Trojan rape which he now sees meditated upon the constitution of his country by a wicked fiction ? Where was Hercules, that he did not crush these den of robbers that broke into the sanctuary of the constitution? Was he forgetful of his duty? Were his nerves unstrung? Or was he the very leader of the band that broke down these constitutional ramparts?
I shall now, Sir, trouble you with a few remarks on the expediency of repealing this law. It has been said, that there is nothing peculiarly disgusting in this law; that there has been no public clamour excited against it; that it was enacted with solemnity on calm and deliberate reflection; and that time has not been yet given to test it by experience.
As no member, who has taken part in debate, was a member of this body, when the law passed, I will say something of its history. I am not disposed to excite the sensibility of gentlemen by any remarks which I shall make, or to call up unpleasant recollections of past scenes. But when I hear it said that this law was passed with calmness after mature reflection, and that we are now in a fit of passion going to do what was thus wisely done, I think it necessary that the public should have a correct statement.
It is true that under the last administration, when there existed (what I trust will never in an equal degree exist again) an immoderate thirst for executive patronage a proposition was made to establish a new judiciary system; a system worse than the present; as it proposed, according to my recollection, 39 judges instead of 16. This law was very near passing. It was however rejected in the House of Representatives by a very small majority. But it was circulated as a project of a law among the people. It was ill received. It was thought too rank a thing , and met with general disapprobation throughout the United States, as far as I have been able to learn. After this reception it was softened down to the plan introduced at the last session. What temper accompanied the progress of the bill in the other house I know not, or, if I did know would it be proper for me here to say. But with respect to the acts of this body I am not of opinion that they added any dignity to our common course of procedure. The bill was referred to a committee, who, though it was very long, reported it
without any amendment. Various amendments were offered, some of which were admitted to be proper. But they were not received. One indeed proposed by a member from Connecticut, who was chairman of the committee, and was then hostile to the plan did pass in the early stages of the bill; but on the third reading it was expunged. All amendments proposed by the minority were uniformly rejected, by a steady unflexible & undeviating majority. I confess that I saw no passion, but I certainly did see great pertinacity; something like what the gentleman from Connecticut had termed a bolding fast . No amendments were admitted—when offered we were told no; you may get them introduced by a rider or supplementary bill, or in any other way you please; but down this bill must go—it must be crammed down your throats; this was not the precise phrase, but such was the amount of what was said.
I will say that not an argument was urged in favor of the bill, not a word to show the necessity or propriety of the change.—Yet we are told that there was great dignity, great solemnity in its progress and passage!
But there is something undignified in thus hastily repealing this law! In thus yielding ourselves to the fluctuations of public opinion, so we are told!—But if there be blame on whom does it fall? Not on us, who respected the public opinion when this law was passed, and who still respect it. But on those who in defiance of public opinion passed this law, after that public opinion had been decisively expressed. The revolution in public opinion had taken place before the introduction of this project; the people of the United States had determined to commit their affairs to new agents; already had the confidence of the people been transferred from their then rulers into other hands. After this exposition of the national will, and this new deposit of the national confidence, the gentlemen should have left untouched this important and delicate subject; a subject on which the people could not be reconciled to their views even in the flood tide of their power and influence; they should have borne, till agents better acquainted with the national will, because more recently constituted its organs, had come into the government. This would have been more dignified than to seize the critical moment when power was passing from them, to pass such a law as this. If there is error it is our duty to correct it; and the truth was, no law was ever more execrated by the public.
Let it not be said postpone the repeal till the next session. No. Let us restore those gentlemen to private life, who have accepted appointments under this law. This will be doing them greater justice, than by keeping them in office another year, till the professional business, which once attached to them, is gone into other channels. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 15.
The ship Orlando, capt. Marschalk, arrived yesterday, left Bourdeaux the 2d of January. At the date of her departure, the negotiations of Ameins were progressing, but the definitive treaty between England and France had not yet been signed. The French fleet sailed from Brest, Rochelle, and Rochefort, for the West-Indies, on the 14th of December—The whole of the troops which were on board of the fleet, amounted to 30,000 men, under the command of Gen. Le-Clerc, brother-in-law to Buonaparte. Benesech went out as Maritime Prefect—and Villaret Joyeuse as Admiral.
Verbal accounts by this arrival state, that the United States of America are treated with very little respect at the court of Buonaparte, in consequence of their neutrality, and the not making it a common cause between them and the Republic, in her late warfare.
The apparent coolness shown on the arrival of our ambassador at Paris, is certainly confirmatory of this account. The French official paper merely mentions, that Mr. Livingston had been presented to the First Consul.
The splendor with which lord Cornwallis was received at Pars, contrasted with the reception of Mr. Livingston, was even noticed in France, on the arrival of the latter gentleman. It was thought somewhat singular, that so much more attention should be paid to the minister of a monarch than to one from "a sister republic."
We have seen a letter from Bordeaux, of the 27th Dec. received yesterday by the Orlando, which mentions that commerce was completely at a stand, and would probably remain so till the definitive treaty was ratified.
The Paris and Bordeaux papers, received by the Orlando, although of a late date, contain no news.
Captain Marschalk has brought dispatches from commodore Dale, for the Secretary of the Navy. The United States ship President had been driven ashore at Port Mahon, in the island of Minorca, but was got off with little damage.
The brig Sally, of this port sailed from Bourdeaux on the 6th January, and has dispatches on board from Mr. Livingston to the secretary of State.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
The following Speech for substance, was actually made by a noted gamster in N. H. on obtaining a verdict against the unanimous opinion of the Judges, by tampering with the Jury.
We cut and stuffed their stumps, But z—ds! they put us to our trumps. They held court-cards, led suit beside, With all four bonos on their side; They played the deuce! but we more brave, Finess'd on hearts, and play'd the knave. We better knew the pack to fix, And won the game at last by tricks!
ANECDOTE.
Blind Man's Buff.
The following Trick was lately practi- fied, in an adjacent town, and has afford- ed considerable diversion to the lovers of Fun: Two persons, possessed of more wit than money, and more impudence than either, entered a decent public house and ordered a good Dinner. After having fa- red most sumptuously, and regaled them- selves with the best beverage the cellar afforded, they began to amuse themselves with the game of Blind Man's Buff; in which they were at length joined by the landlord, whose turn to be blindfolded came in due time; when his guests, hav- ing effectually bound the handkerchief o- ver his eyes, quietly walked off, leaving their host so much diverted by the game, that some time elapsed before he discover- ed his playmates were gone, and that he was blind enough without the help of a bandage.

22 GREAT BARGAINS,
Will be sold by the Subscriber, and for a greater part, Extensive Credits will be given, in annual payments, the pur- chaser giving good bond and security; The following PROPERTY I will sell, from this day forward, (to wit:)
VALUABLE BUILDINGS, and the Lots of ground they are on, in Paris—they begin at the Main Corner street facing the Court house, and run- ning parallel with the public ground one hundred feet—
The first a large two story frame build- ing, in which there is a large well finish- ed store house and counting room, both large fire places of brick; the other part well calculated for a tavern, six well fin- ished rooms plastered, and four large fire places; another room, thirty-six feet by twenty, and two fire places, and within five feet of the back room door, a brick lodging room, and a kitchen adjoining— The balance of the building of brick, two stories high; with four houses, twenty feet square, rented out to different fam- ilies; convenient to those are two small kitchens—there is a stable and small gar- den for the use of the large building. I have also nine acres of out lots in ex- cellent order for cultivation—Those build- ings were first valued by a number of workmen at eight thousand dollars; and several useful additions have been made to them since—I will now give them ex- tremely low, and give them clear of all incumbrance.
Another property I have in Mason county, one mile and three quarters from Limetone—two valuable overshot Mills, in as high credit for manufacturing flour, as any in the state, and are now repair- ing and almost done, so as to start in com- plete order when the season for grinding commences, with the best Burr and Alle- gany stones, rolling screens &c.—Those mills in the season for grinding, can make forty barrels of flour every day that they are worked; and any person inclining to purchase, can be informed, that the qua- lity of the flour is superior to any that has been boated from Limetone. With those I will sell a valuable negro man, a good miller; the plantation of 140 acres, 100 apple trees, of fruit equal to any in the state, a fine clover and blue grass pas- ture and meadow, a small dwelling house and farm, with other out houses, cherry and peach orchard—the title indisputa- ble; and I will give it clear of all incum- brance. For this property I have in two years paid nine thousand dollars.
I have also for sale, 700 acres of Mil- itary land, fourteen miles from Washing- ton, North West of the Ohio river, with a very promising salt lick, supposed to have salt water, a small trial has been made, and some salt made by a Mr. Sher- ry.
I have also two small plantations in Bourbon, that I will sell—they are most- ly first rate land.
I have patents for lands near Montgo- mery court house, of the first quality; eight thousand acres, the half of which I will sell at one third its value; the pur- chaser may have his choice; patented 17 years ago; entries very special.
Also the half of 600 acres of first qua- lity, three miles from Fleming court house; old patents and special entries— on the same terms.
I have also one thousand acres for sale, adjoining lower Mackasee's tract, level, but of inferior quality—for this I will take good horses at 6s per acre; the title undoubted.
I have also for sale about 300 acres, on Cedar creek, of Floyd's fork, with a ne- ver failing spring on it; a part rich land, and a part indifferent, within six miles of Mann's lick; this has excellent range and timber—for this I will take good salt at 12s per acre, if cash 9s per acre.
I have also for sale, six hundred acres, patented land, on Clover lick, eight miles from the Crab orchard—this I will take 3s per acre for in cash, or 4s 6d in horses.
If it will be an accommodation to those who may incline to purchase the mills, I will give in an excellent house woman, now living in Lexington.
I will also sell a good flock of hogs cattle, mares and colts, with the mills.
I will give such excellent bargains in all, or any of the aforesaid property, that any person inclined to purchase, may be well accommodated. The mills I will deliver up the tenth of March next, or if sooner required, on a little more ad- vance, they shall be given up.
Money, good Merchandise Negroes, and Horses, will be taken by instalments, as will best suit the purchaser.
Application to my son John Edwards, jun. in Bourbon, or to Mr. David S. Bro- drick, in Washington, or Mr. Enoch Smith, near Montgomery court house, or James Brown esq. in Lexington, for in- formation and contracts with respect to
the property, or to the subscriber, either in Bourbon or Washington, may be made.
Any of my creditors choosing to pur- chase, shall have on the lowest terms, as I am determined to sell.
I will sell 1000 barrels of flour, all to be delivered before the 15th of March next. And,
I have also one other plantation for sale, near Warwick, 233 acres cleared, and the title secure.
Any person purchasing the mills I will furnish with wheat at cash price, and will, if employed, engage to clear them in the sales of flour &c. this season, 2500 or 3000 dollars.
