A very valuable MERCHANT MILL, DISTILLERY and BREWERY, and sundry STONE QUARRIES to be let
I will rent my Merchant Mill at the little Falls of Potomac, for any term not less than seven, nor more than eleven years, from the first day of September next. The mill-house is 42 by 40 feet, three stories high, built with stone, and has in it three pairs of French Burr Stones, two overhead 18 feet water-wheels, and Evans's machinery complete, with every other thing proper and necessary for carrying on the business with dispatch, and at as little expense as possible, all in good order. From the mill to my landing on the Potomac river, (where craft, or any burthen may deliver grain and take in flour) it is about 40 yards, and from thence by water to George-Town and the City of Washington, about 3 miles, and to Alexandria about 11 miles. This situation, aided by a sufficient capital, will command the produce of a very extensive back country, where large quantities of wheat and other grain is annually made, the distance to it being from 8 to 10 miles less than to any market town upon the navigation of the Potomac. There are on the premises a large stone Coopers' Shop, a stone granary, and a commodious miller's house. At the landing aforesaid a bridge is now building over the Potomac, which is in great forwardness and probably will be finished the ensuing fall. There are also on the premises, a Brewery and Distillery, built with stone, in them are three stills, two coppers or boilers, with every necessary article, all new, and in good order, and sufficiently large to carry on the Brewery and Distillery upon a very extensive plan. This property I will rent for the term of years.
Upon my lands adjoining the premises, and along the banks of the river, where craft may lead with ease and dispatch, is an immense quantity of building and foundation-stones. Four quarries are now open, and as many more may be opened with ease: the stone taken from these quarries is better, and has the preference at this market, to any other stone brought to it. I will rent these quarries separately or together as may be best.
On the top of the hill, and about 200 yards from the mill, is a stone Dwelling-house, large enough for the accommodation of a family: also, a kitchen, dairy, smoke-house, &c. and a garden, enclosed and in cultivation, the soil of which is equal in goodness to any in this State. I will also rent this property.
Adjoining to the Brewery and Distillery is a Smith's Shop, in which is a complete set of Blacksmith's tools, which I will also rent, and if agreeable I will hire to the tenant two negro blacksmiths, one of them is a complete workman.
I rent out the stone quarries, I will sell three crafts, which were built for the purpose of carrying stone; they will altogether bring upwards of 90 perch. Immediate possession will be given. For terms apply to the subscriber in this town.
The Mill, Brewery and Distillery, with their appurtenances, will be delivered to the tenant or tenants in good repair, and must be so returned, at the expiration of the lease or leases.

THE publisher thinks it a mark of respect, due to a liberal and enlightened public, to inform them that this is the Poem for the publishing of which he has been twice dragged from his house, and is now laboring under a vexatious prosecution. He is conscious that the piece contains nothing either criminal or offensive, unless original wit, decorated in elegant language, be criminal or disgusting to the prevalent taste; and, as he trusts that neither of these is the case, he submits the work to the public with a full assurance of its meeting with a favorable reception.
He would beg his prosecutors to call to mind (if they have ever read it) the following apology to a well-known romance—"A young painter, indulging a vein of pleasantery, sketched a kind of Conversazione Piece , respecting a bear, an owl, a monkey, and an ass; and to render it more striking, humorous, and moral, distinguished every figure by some emblem of human life. A Bruin was exhibited in the garb and attitude of an old, toothless, drunken soldier; the owl perched upon the handle of a coffee-pot, with spectacles on his nose, seemed to contemplate a newspaper; and the ass ornamented with a huge wig (which, however, could not conceal his long ears) sat for his picture to the monkey, who appeared with the implements of painting. This whimsical group afforded some mirth, and met with general approbation, until some mischievous wag hinted the whole was a lampoon upon an old officer, a physician, and a member of Parliament; an insinuation which was no sooner circulated, than these people began to be alarmed, and even to fancy themselves signified by the several figures in the piece. The furious group fell upon the painter, who declared that he had no design to give offence, or to characterize particular persons. They affirmed, the resemblance was too palpable to be overlooked, and their clamours being overheard by the public, the Captain was a bear, the Doctor an ass, and the Senator an owl, to their dying day."—If a similar fate should attend the persons who will insist upon being the members of this group, the public will do the publisher the justice to remember that it is no fault of his.

Philadelphia, August 29.
Yesterday arrived the HAMBURG PACKET, Capt. CLAY, by whom, London papers to the 11th of JULY are received, from which the following intelligence is taken.
PARIS, June 25.
The reports of peace, which were believed for several days, and which (says L'Eclair) we only repeated after the public voice, are attributed to the arrival in Paris of an Austrian secretary or legation to Switzerland. We are assured he came to propose an armistice; but the conditions could not be agreed on. This Secretary is returned. It is believed that there is not now any open negotiation between France and Austria.
Adet, Minister plenipotentiary of the Republic to the United States of America, had demanded a successor. The Directory long sought for one. That embassy had been offered to several citizens, who had refused it, and particularly to Marey. Circumstances have changed in America, and at the anti-English party having recovered their influence, Adet has expressed a desire to retain his situation, which the Directory has complied with.

"Citizen Directors," I HAVE the honor to inform you, that that part of the army which was to retreat by Nieuwied, passed the river the day before yesterday in the greatest order, and without losing a single man, though in presence of six regiments of the enemy's cavalry, and of several battalions of infantry, supported by twelve pieces of cannon. The enemy endeavored to destroy the bridge by two rafts which they launched at it; the first, without breaking it entirely, so far deranged it, that it required several hours to re-establish it; but this was soon done by the zeal, activity and talents of citizen Tirlet, captain of artillery, who commanded the workmen on the bridge; the second raft was stopped before it reached the bridge.
While the bridge was repairing, the army took a position on the Synbach; whence it resumed its march in the greatest order; the retreat was covered by the cavalry and two battalions of the 30th half brigade, under the command of brigadier Arnaud. These two battalions and the third regiment of light-horse, led by Colonel Grosjean, distinguished themselves by their coolness and precision which they displayed in their manoeuvres, which were executed under the fire of the enemy's artillery. At length, at eleven at night, that part of the bridge of Nieuwied, which extends over the right branch of the Rhine, was restored without accident.
Gen. Kleber, who was retreating on the Sieg, was yesterday attacked in the post of Ukeradt, at two in the morning. The enemy's attack was so sudden, that he deemed it less dangerous, to risk a battle, than to continue his retreat. He there-
fore made the necessary dispositions, and marched against the assailants; he even beat back the heads of the enemy's first columns, but perceiving a considerable force, particularly in cavalry, advancing on his two flanks, he returned to his first position, and there maintained himself.
The action ceased at three in the afternoon. the General was to resume his march in the night, to gain the lines of Duffeldorf. During our retreat, several partial actions took place, the particulars of which I cannot send you, as I have not yet received them; but our troops invariably displayed both courage and skill, and not a single post was forced, so that our retreat was conducted with the greatest order.
I cannot, citizens Directors, sufficiently praise the courage, coolness and perseverance of the troops, who fought for three days, and pursued their march in the night; neither stragglers nor fugitives were to be seen; never did the army appear to greater advantage than during this retreat; and this is the time to judge of the conduct both of officers and privates.
The general officers merit the highest commendations; by their talents, their courage, and the precision with which they executed my orders, they confirmed the courage of the soldier, and inspired him with that confidence which averts disaster.
ARMY OF THE RHINE AND MOSELLE. Huffman, Commissary of the Government, to the Executive Directory.
Strasburgh, June 23, 11 in the morning.
YOUR orders are executed. The army passed the Rhine this morning at two o'clock. Kehl is our own, with all its formidable batteries. Generals Defaix, Beaupou, and Ferino, are pursuing the enemy with vigour. The action still continues. A great extent of territory, and a number of villages, are already occupied by our troops. The enemy is quite stupefied by an attack as warm as it was unexpected. From five to six hundred prisoners already taken, with several caissons and pieces of cannon.
It is not possible to bestow sufficient commendation on the bravery of the army, on the precision, and particularly on the discretion with which the business has been conducted. Yesterday morning 30,000 men were in the environs of Strasburgh, and nobody knew their real destination. At Neustadt, it was supposed, yesterday morning the head quarters were going to Turkheim, when they were directing their march to Strasburgh. From such unanimity every thing is to be expected.
"I have just left the Commander in Chief, as he was passing the Rhine. He will send off an extraordinary courier to night with farther particulars of this glorious expedition."
"Health and greeting,"
"W. HAUSSMAN."
We have at this time 52,000 men in Suabia; the army of Conde is exposed to the greatest danger, and its retreat appears to be cut off.
Yesterday the feast of agriculture was celebrated at Paris.
We were assured, that at the instigation of the Chevalier Azzara, Envoy from the King of Spain, the Duke of Parma has been compelled in the treaty of peace between Spain and France. Consequently the French will restore the contributions which the Duke has paid, or at least will not insist on the payment of that part of them which remains unpaid.
It is believed that the Chevalier Azzara has already signed the preliminaries of peace in the Pope's name. One of the most curious clauses in this treaty is that by which the Holy father undertakes to put a stop to the schism which exists between the churches of France and Rome. On the other hand the Ami des Loix affirms that our troops are marching to Rome.
The Observer of the South also announces, that General Rusca, at the head of a French Column, has marched to Leghorn, and must have reached that place before this; that Massena directs the siege of Mantua; and that Espinoi commands at Milan.
M. M. Belgoutes and Mattheu ministers from the Republic of Geneva, have delivered their letters of credence to the minister of foreign affairs. They replace provisionally Citizen Reybuz, on whose dismissal the Directory insisted.
It"> It is affirmed that Merlin, minister of justice, has purchased Rhinoy, the magnificent seat of the late Duke of Orleans. 
Great apprehensions seem to be entertained for the safety of Aubert Dubayet and his suite, who have failed for Constantinople.
The plan of the campaign formed by the Austrians is known. They were to force a passage near Answiller and Trippstadt, take possession of the lines of Landau, and immediately attack the army of the Rhine. This project was discovered and frustrated. Landau has provisions for six months. It is reported that 6000 Austrians have been completely defeated in Italy on their way to join Beauhieu; that we have secured the Duchies of Mantua; that a revolt has broken out at Turin, and that the King has been obliged to take refuge with the French at Coni. We repeat these reports without vouching for their authenticity.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Sitting of June 28.
The Executive Directory sent an answer to the message, in which the Council had asked for an explanation of a decree, relative to the completion of the officers of the navy.
The Directory confuted the charge of inactivity, by comparing the state of the navy at present with its state six months ago, when it appeared that upwards of 80 vessels have been equipped, and that 43 ships or frigates and 150 corvettes are actually at sea, or stationed to defend our coasts. The message was ordered to be printed.
A message was received from the Executive Directory, conceived in nearly the following terms: "Citizens Legislators, we have just received a letter from General Jourdan, informing us that the army of the Rhine and Moselle passed the Rhine on the 24th June."
The false attacks made by General Moreau contributed not a little to facilitate this event, by drawing off the attention of the enemy to another quarter.
"We are masters of Fort Kehl, and the bridges are re-established."
"We shall, publish farther particulars in the official journals."
The council decreed, on the motion of Boissier, that the army of the Rhine and Moselle had not ceased to deserve well of their country.
TRENT, June 14.
To day our army quitted its position before Alba, and has advanced several miles nearer to Verona. When the reinforcements which are on the road are arrived, it will march towards Mantua.
We are informed that the garrison of that place continues to oppose the enemy most vigorously, who besieges it with a very numerous force; it makes frequent sorties which are all more or less destructive to the French; it is even said that in the last they retook some advanced posts which the enemy had seized on.
Yesterday a spy arrived at head quarters with interesting

The Redacteur of the 25th has the following article from the Editor.
N. B. The French Journals of Paris, who are distinguished every day by publishing the ridiculous relations of the French Journals of Frankfort, which are at the devotion of the Emigrants, have announced an inconceivable defeat of the army of Italy, in an attempt to pass the Addige. What is most remarkable in this news, is its absolute falsehood. On the 3d of June General Buonaparte announced from Verona, that he was possessed of all the bridges of the Addige; his advanced guards were ten leagues from thence. No battle had taken place on the 20th. The republican army had advanced almost without a blow far on the other side of that river.
THUAN.
July 2. We yesterday received by express Paris journals, to the 30th ult. inclusive. By these we learn that the French unexpectedly crossed the Rhine at Strasbourg, on the 23d ult. with a very considerable force, and taking the Austrians by surprise made themselves masters of the strong fort of Kehl, and after making from 6 to 700 prisoners, extended their destructive incursions into the neighbouring country.
The Hamburgh mail due yesterday arrived in town this morning and brought an account of some farther advantages gained by the victorious Austrians over the flying French.
Different accounts from Frankfort of the 1st mention a second action to have been fought at Okerroth on the 20th, in which the French were defeated with the loss of 1800 men left dead on the field, 700 prisoners and several pieces of cannon. These accounts farther state, that the column of French retiring from Neuwied is cut off, and must either surrender or be drowned in the Rhine. But it appears from General Jourdan's letter to the Directory, that they have effected their passage over that river.
The French are retreating with precipitation to Dusseldorf, and the Austrians are pursuing them with equal rapidity. The former are said to have lost no less than 40 pieces of artillery in their retreat.
The extraordinary Gazette, published last night, confirms the account in yesterday's Courier of the actions that took place on the 15th and 16th, on the right side of the Rhine, between part of General Jourdan's army and the Archduke Charles. After the battle on the 16th, General Kleber retired first to Altenkirchen, and afterwards took possession of the heights of Kirpen near Altenkirchen. In that position he was attacked, on the 19th, by the Austrian General Kray. After a very obstinate action, the Austrians (the Gazette Extraordinary states) drove the French from the heights, but did not venture to pursue them.
The loss of the Austrians is stated at between 5 and 600 men. The loss of the French at above 700 taken prisoners and several hundred killed, besides, "according to all reports," a great number wounded.
On the night of the 19th, General Kleber crossed the Sieg, and directed his march towards Dusseldorf. At Dusseldorf he will be reinforced by the army of the North under General Buonaparte.
July 7. The Sally of Boston, for orders, lost her anchors and cables in the Downs, and is gone for Ramsgate pier.
On Monday an American vessel took fire at Ayles's Dock, New Crane, Wapping, and burnt nearly to the water's edge; but by the timely assistance of the firemen and engines, the flames extended no farther.
July 9. By letters received from Jersey, we learn, that General Gordon, the commander in chief there, having received intimation that a considerable French force had been collected in the neighbourhood of St. Maloes and Granville, and which was daily increasing, and that all the boats on the coast had been put in requisition, was preparing against an attempt upon that island, which he had reason to believe would speedily be made.
Capt. Manlove, of the Earl of Derby, passed Elsinore the 24th of June, for Riga. He writes there were then cruising on the North Sea, the following French ships, viz. La Carmagnole, of 50 guns; Republique 32; Torche 24; Foudroyante 24; and Brillante 24.
From the London Gazette.
DOWNING-STREET, July 1.
Dispatches have been this day received from Colonel Graham, dated at the head quarters of General Beauharnais, Cagliano near Roverdo, June 13th and 14th, by which it appears that nothing material had occurred in that quarter since the 31st May.
SHEerness, June 26.
The diligence aimed hired cutter arrived here yesterday noon, with the ship Stirling, of Boston, a prize to the squadron under the command of vice admiral Macbride, bound from Surinam to Amsterdam, laden, with sugar, taken off the Texel.

Philadelphia,
MONDAY EVENING, August 29.
Accounts from the Hamburgh packet say, that there were public rejoicings at Liverpool, on account of Austrian Victories on the Rhine; the papers however do not contain any details, which appear to warrant this.
London papers say, that Stocks fell on the news of the French re-crossing the Rhine. The reason assigned is that Peace is thereby rendered less probable.
Many interesting foreign articles are necessarily omitted this day—as is also the speculation signed "OBSERVER."
The Sun of July 11, contains Moreau's official dispatches to the Directory, dated Kehl, June 24, 25, by which it appears that he had effected the passage of the Rhine at Kehl, and established himself there. He concludes a long letter of detail by informing that the bridge between Kehl and the Isle of the Rhine was just completed, and that the remainder of his army was passing it.
The army of Italy had taken the castle of Urbino, Fort Ferara, and Bologna, in Ferrara 114 pieces of cannon. The details of the above successes are given in letters from Buonaparte and Salicetti.
Paris accounts to the 1st July from the same paper mention that some disturbances had taken place, but that tranquillity was restored. It was reported that the Pope had obtained a cessation of arms at the price of 50 millions of livres, pictures &c. &c.
Paris dates of the 3d July mention that authentic letters announce a fresh victory gained by Moreau on the right side of the Rhine, and that the Emperor's cuirassiers were almost cut to pieces; that the siege of Mantua, is carried on by 60,000 men. The king of Naples had obtained a cessation of arms on condition of withdrawing his forces, land and Naval from the coalition. L'Eclair of the 3d July says; that the French had gained a signal victory, entered Fribourg in the Brisgau; this appears to allude to the victory first mentioned in this paragraph. It was reported, that Pichegru had taken part of Moreau's army and was marching by Constance to cut off Beaulieu, enter the Tyrol, by the way of Germany and shake hands with Buonaparte. Moreau in his letter dated Kehl, talks of shaking hands with Buonaparte.
A Muinch head of June 26, mentions, that a courier from Inspruck bro't news of the French having taken Polzen, secured the passage of Schultz and advanced into the valleys of Frieser and Munster.
A Brussels head of July 1, states the Archduke Charles to be near Dusseldorf. The French were in possession of the citadel of Ancona before the 26 of June.
Paris dates of the 5th July, say, we have certainly taken possession of Leghorn, Ancona and Civitavecchia. It is said, that at Leghorn, we took from the English shipping &c. to the amount of 60 millions. The Ministers of the King of Naples and the Pope had arrived at Paris.
MANHEIM, June 20.
The French attacked the intrenched camp before Mundenheim, with numerous forces, this morning. The first attack was made on the side of Mundach, at half past 5 o'clock, and at six their principal attack was directed against the extremity of the intrenched camp, between Rheingenheim and Mundenheim. The cannonade and musketry was very terrible; and, after having sacrificed a great many people, they got possession of Rheingenheim. They also made several attacks towards Oppenheim, and the canal of Frankenthal, but were repulsed. At nine o'clock they appeared to direct their principal forces against three redoubts that are in the second line before Mundenheim; but the fire of the Austrian batteries probably made them give up their object. At 10 o'clock we no longer heard the sound of cannon. It is now two in the afternoon, and all is quiet.
STRASBOURG, 10th Messidor. (June 28.) Our army on the other side of the Rhine, makes some progress; it attacked the enemy the day before yesterday (Sunday) at half past 6 in the evening; they defended themselves obstinately, notwithstanding which, they were driven from all their positions, into which our troops entered yesterday morning; the field of battle was found covered with their dead bodies.
BANKS OF THE MEIN, June 15. According to letters from the left bank of the Rhine, the French were not at Worms on the 14th. On the 14th, one of their patroles shewed themselves on the Pfeddersheim road.
MANHEIM, June 15.
The attack of yesterday lasted until 5 o'clock in the evening. It appears to have been very serious; the cannon and the musketry, the sabre and the bayonet were all employed, and the cavalry were warmly engaged. The French took, lost, and retook a redoubt upon the Rheeback; they must have lost many men, for the soldiers were obliged to pass the water with their guns over their heads, and under the fire of the Austrians. The attack extended to the whole line from Rhein, Gerheim, and Lipsein, opposite Oppenheim. The French in the morning dislodged the Austrians from Frankenthal, but in the afternoon the post was retaken from them.
This morning every thing is quiet; the Austrians have concentrated their position behind Mandach to the old redoubt of the Rhine. The French have it in contemplation to employ the Imperialists in such a manner here as to prevent their detaching troops to the Lahn.
June 16.
Last night a variety of skirmishes took place among the out posts, on the side of Mandach, in which the Austrians were successful.
The following article is official: "The intrenchments in front of Manheim and Mundenheim being completed, Gen. Wurmfier on the night of the 15th stationed a sufficient number of troops in them for their defence. The remainder of the detachment which occupied the position from Rheingenheim to Frankenthal have passed
the Rhine to take possession of the ground that is marked out for their encampment.
June 17.
The action on the 14th June was very bloody. On each side the greatest obstinacy was evinced, but the loss of the French was infinitely more considerable than ours; for after having been driven from several redoubts, which they scaled 3 different times, our cavalry pursued them to a great distance. In the environs of the Rhehutte the ground is covered with dead bodies.
The head quarters of Gen. Wurmfier are at Schwetzingen. The troops which, on the night of the 15th, repassed the Rhine are going to Schwetzingen. The intrenched camp upon the left bank of the Rhine is defended by 150 pieces of cannon, and by a great number of troops extended from Mannheim to Rheingenheim. The French since yesterday have occupied Oppenheim and Franckenheim.
MENTZ, June 16.
Every thing is quiet in our environs. The enemy are not seen within three leagues from us. It is on this side of Bingen that they have approached the nearest. Their detachments advance beyond the Naiz; they levy contributions on the villages and then return.
SCHWALBACH, June 18.
Yesterday morning the Imperial troops who were in the environs of Dimburg, were put in motion for the purpose of proceeding to the other side of the Lahn. The Austrians proceeded directly to Montabaur, to pursue the enemy, who were in full retreat on that side. They soon came up with the rear guard, and a very bloody battle ensued, in which the French were roughly handled.
The French also retired yesterday morning from Hesse and Nassau, and were pursued by General Finck.

LONDON, June 28.
The Prince of Wales came yesterday to Carleton-house, and a reconciliation took place between him and the Princess. They dined together with a select party. The new arrangement of the household will take place immediately. Lady Jersey resumes her situation as Mistress of the Robes, and will pay her respects to their majesties the first court day. Their Royal Highnesses will go to the drawing room on Thursday, and there will be a series of fetes given by the principal nobility on the happy occasion.
Orders have been sent to Brightelmstone for the Marine Pavilion to be got ready for the summer residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their infant daughter.
NAPLES, May 21.
The Prince of Belmonte, who had been sent to Rome, to confer with the French envoy Faypoult, to learn the disposition of the French government, relative to a peace with Naples, is returned; after which a grand council of state was held, in the presence of the king, the queen, and the prime minister Action, at which the proposition of a negotiation with France was rejected, and it was resolved to continue the war with the utmost rigour.
Every preparation is therefore making for the defence of the country, and 40,000 men are immediately to be raised in Naples and Sicily, to be added to the 10,000 we already have. The nobility and clergy have been required to contribute to the utmost of their power to the defence of the kingdom.
HAGUE, June 11.
The great question which has been so frequently debated in the Convention, viz. whether the National Convention shall have the entire disposal of the armed citizens, and the finances of the whole Republic; was determined in the sitting of last Tuesday, by the majority of a single vote. The decree only says, that all farther debate on the subject shall cease; but this may certainly be considered as a rejection of the proposition.

A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.
The twenty four Gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most impregnable indispensable.

Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; or James West & Co. Baltimore; or Peter Gilman, Boston of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells Cooper's Ferry.
