A very valuable MERCHANT MILL, A 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 overflour 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, of 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. These 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 same 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 best suit. 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. If 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 per cent. 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.

PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1796.
MARRIED, last evening, by the Rev. Morgan J. Rhee, Dr. JOSEPH STRONG, of Hartford (Connecticut) to Miss REBECCA YOUNG, of this city.
AUTHENTIC.
The following is an extract of a letter from Captain JAMES BRUFF to the Secretary of War, dated Post of Niagara, August 20, 1796.
My last informed you of the evacuation of Oliewa, and of its being taken possession of (by the detachment I have the honor to command) on the 14th July.
I now have the additional honor to inform you, that after being detained near a month, for the means of transportation, and after making an attempt with six Batteaux, and being cast away, and regaining that post; I embarked on the 5th August with 50 men, the artillery, ammunition, and the principal part of the stores on board the Kingston Packet of about 50 tons, (which Contractor O'Hara had procured for us,) and on the 10th in the afternoon, being in sight of Niagara, dispatched a boat with an officer to the British commandant, with notice of the approach of the advance troops of the United States, destined to receive possession of it; and about sun set came to a mile distance from the Fort, when I received his answer, and an offer of immediate possession. I accepted, and my guard under a commissioned officer marched in, on captain Sheffs marching out; his sergeant attending mine in polling the sentries, &c. The next day in the forenoon, the artillery, stores, and the rest of the men were landed in time to display the flag of the United States, under a federal salute, by 3 o'clock.
I was visited in the morning by Captain Sheff, who was so polite as to walk round the works, and give me every information necessary for a relieving officer.
Confirmation of the capture of one of Captain Barney's frigates.
By a gentleman who arrived last night from the southward we have the following account:
On Saturday last arrived at Alexandria the Pomona, Captain Heywood, in 36 days from Cadiz, who was brought to on Thursday morning the 1st inst. by the squad on commanded by Admiral Murray; who after causing his papers to be inspected, dismissed him, informing him, that he had taken one of Barney's vessels after a long chase, which began on Monday morning, and had then only just finished.
Captain Heywood left Cadiz July 27th, at which time that place was in immediate expectation of a rupture with Great Britain.
A Boston paper contains the following article: "Accounts from Cayenne inform, that the famous COLLOT D'HERBOIS and BILLAUD VARENNES have died suddenly in that Colony."
A gentleman who served two years in the French army, from 1793 to '95 says, that the soldiers have always fared better than the citizens—that there is no regular issuing of rations, clothing or other supplies to the army. The soldiers receive from the magazines established wherever a body of troops is stationed, every article they want and apply for, so long as there is any thing to issue. They draw clothing, bread, meat, brandy, &c. as they want them, in such quantities as they please—and being fully fed and supplied, they are contented and happy without receiving one sou in cash for months together. This mode of procedure, tho' it renders the army the most agreeable situation, has increased the expenses of the war immeasurably—and must be departed from eventually, which, however can only be done by degrees.
The following article from a London Paper, is applicable to more places than one.
Our rivers are inexhaustible, and that Fish, an article which, from its nutritive quality and abundance, is so well calculated to lessen the consumption of butchers' meat, should, from the high price at which it is retailed, be almost wholly confined to the tables of the opulent and luxurious, is a reproach to the country.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
KNOXVILLE, August 15.
On Tuesday last the General Assembly of this State adjourned sine die.
The following acts were passed during their sitting: An act directing the mode of electing one representative to represent this state in the Congress of the United States.
An act providing for the election of electors to elect a President and Vice President of the United States.
An act empowering the justices of each court, of the several counties in this state, to lay, and have collected, an additional county tax for the year 1797.
An act directing the mode of electing the several officers, whose appointment are by the constitution vested in the court of pleas and quarter sessions.
An act making compensation to the members, clerks, and door-keepers of the General Assembly, and for other purposes.
Communication of his Excellency the Governor to the Hon. the General Assembly of this state.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives,
The short time in which I conceived it was necessarily my duty to convene the legislature, compelled me to call you together on so short a notice. In the first instance, it was necessary to give all the time, the emergency of the occasion would admit of: And in the second, from a circumstance, that the election to be held for representatives was approaching so near at hand, made it necessary, as I conceive, for the assembly to have it in their power, by a timely meeting (should they in their wisdom deem it proper) to make an alteration in the act directing the mode of electing representatives to represent this state in the Congress of the United States, before the day of election should arrive, as directed in the aforesaid act, otherwise it might be attended with disputes and contentions of a disagreeable nature; for by a late act of Congress the intended number of our representatives is diminished, of course it proportionally lessens our number of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States. Thus such a derangement will necessarily require an alteration in our acts passed for such purposes.
Our senators not being recognised in the Senate of the United States, is another matter for your consideration and attention: And for your more ample information, the several acts and communications accompanying this address, will elucidate unto you the propriety of my calling the assembly together at this time.
I hope I may be permitted to observe, that it is of importance, and conducive to public happiness to arrange our acts conformably with those of Congress, so far as they shall respect this state.
The foregoing are the reasons why I have thought proper to convene the assembly in session, on the present day: And I make no doubt, you will, through your paternal care, wisdom, and patriotic deliberations, adopt such measures as will tend to promote the public interest and general utility of the state.
I have the pleasure of announcing to you, gentlemen, the admission of the state of Tennessee into the federal union, a circumstance, pregnant with every flattering prospect of peace, happiness and opulence to our infant state. The period is at length arrived, when the people of the South Western Territory may enjoy all the blessings and liberties of a free and independent republic.
Permit me to with your public, domestic, and individual happiness,
While I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your devoted and
Obedient servant,
JOHN SEVIER.
The committee to whom was referred the communication from the governor, reported, that the following address be presented to his excellency. To his Excellency JOHN SEVIER, Esq. Governor, &c. of the state of Tennessee.
SIR, We are fully sensible that the important objects by you laid before this General Assembly, made it necessary for you to convene the legislature at this time.
We rejoice with you in the event of this state being firmly admitted into the federal union; and our minds are filled with the most pleasing sensations, when we reflect on the prosperity and political happiness to which we view it as a certain prelude: Be assured, Sir, it will be our first and greatest care to adopt such measures as will promote the true interest of this state, as connected with the American union.
With respect to our representation in the senate of the United States in particular, we flatter ourselves such steps have been taken, that no reason now remains sufficient to justify that body in refusing any longer to recognise our senators.
We view it as essentially necessary to the preservation of peace and harmony, with the Indian tribes, that the constitutional treaties and laws should be duly observed: And we have the fullest confidence that the executive of this state will take proper measures to enforce their due execution.
JOSEPH McMIM, Ch.
ALBANY, September 5.
The French Minister, his Excellency Citizen ADET, arrived in this city, since our last—he has proceeded on his journey to Lake-George. During his stay here, he was waited on by the Lieut. Governor, the Chief Justice and many other of our most respectable citizens.
The drought still continues, and a frost a few nights since, injured the Indian corn and gardens in many places.
NEW-YORK, September 8.
The ship Confederacy, of New-York, Capt. Scott Jenckes, was at the Isle of Bourbon the 24th of April last, bound to China.
By the Cygnet, from Hamburg, we have been favored with Hamburg papers to July 11, inclusive, which we shall endeavor to have translated as expeditiously as possible.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Cygnet from Hamburg has obligingly informed us, that the last intelligence received was, that the French had passed the Rhine, taken Kehl, with 500 prisoners, and had penetrated considerably into Suabia; that the Austrians had been obliged to leave part of the Rhine with precipitation, leaving much baggage, &c. That the French army was rapidly advancing to Franckfort. From the recent successes of the French, it was the general and daily expectation of the citizens of Hamburg, that a peace would soon take place between the Emperor and the French Republic.
LATEST INTELLIGENCE
By the Peggy, Capt. Bunce, in 40 days from Hull, we have London accounts to the evening of the 13th July; being three days later than the advice by Capt. Clay, lately arrived at Philadelphia from Hamburg. The most important articles are the defeat of the Austrians by General Moreau, since his crossing the Rhine; and the continued apprehensions of a rupture between Great-Britain and Spain.
LONDON, July 13—14.
This morning the mail arrived from Hamburg, which was due last Sunday. The accounts confirm the statements given in the last Paris papers, respecting the crossing of the Rhine at Strasburg and Kehl, and give other particulars respecting the operations of the Austrians, and the alarm that has been spread in all the countries along the Rhine by the progress of the French.
The Austrians having been obliged to abandon Fribourg, in Brisgau, seem to have no choice left but to retreat (for fighting seems now to be out of the question) into the Black Forest, by what is called the Devil's Vale. The army commanded by the Prince of Conde must pursue the same measures.
The Arch-duke, with part of his army, left the Lahn, intending, it would appear, to prevent the French from getting over at Strasburg, but, the Republicans having been too quick in their operations to be prevented by the arrival of Austrian reinforcements from such a distance, this movement on the part of the Arch-duke will be one means of enabling them to re-establish themselves.
The French, by the late movements, have rendered all their positions much more secure than they were a short time ago, and it will require great military skill on the part of the Imperialists to prevent them from profiting by the circumstance; for not only has the army of the Sambre and Meuse received great reinforcements from that of the North, as we have already stated, but a junction has been formed by the right wing of Jourdan's army, and the left of General Moreau's.
It is probable that the purpose of the French is to penetrate through Suabia on one side, and thro' the Valteline, the country of the Grisons and Tirol on the other. If they succeed in this, the army of Italy, which has already advanced so far on that side as to have its advanced posts on the southern mountains of Germany, will be enabled to effect a junction with that of the Rhine. The French armies, when thus united, will extend to the German ocean on the left, and to the Mediterranean on the right. It is not easy to see at present any thing that can prevent them from executing this vast project, which will open to them the heart of Germany, and compel the Emperor to sue for peace on any terms.
An article from Bonn of June 24, states, that the news is confirmed, of the French having taken the lines before Menz. This intelligence, however, merits further confirmation, before it can be implicitly credited.
Private letters from the Imperial army state, that the Prince of Wirttemberg has been summoned to Vienna to give an account of the "ball at which General Leichevre made him pay the piper."
From Italy, the mail brings little intelligence of importance, it confirms the news of an armistice having been concluded between the French Republic and the King of Naples.
Some malcontents at Rome have planted the tree of Liberty there. The ringleaders have been apprehended.
Eighteen waggons, laden with gold and silver plate, which the French had taken in Lombardy, arrived in Genoa, where they were deposited with the Banker Balbi, treasurer to the French.
CAPTURE OF COLUMBO, WITH IMMENSE TREASURES.
Letters from Madras, dated the 22d February, received over land at the India House, confirm the intelligence we gave a few days ago of the capture of Colombo, which, with all other dependencies belonging to the Dutch on the island of Ceylon, surrendered, on the 15th of February, to his Majesty's forces, under the command of Gen. Stuart. The property found there is immense—that of individuals is secured to them; but three Dutch East-Indiamen, richly laden, and all other public property, will be shared by the captors.
VICTORY OF THE FRENCH ON THE RHINE.
In the sitting of the Council of Five Hundred, July 6, the following message was delivered: The Executive Directory to the Council of Five Hundred.
"Citizens Legislators,
"Victory is as faithful to the armies of the republic in Germany, as she has been in Italy. We have to announce to you a battle gained at Renchen."
"The army of the Rhine and Moselle, after its brilliant passage of the Rhine, had successfully engaged in several combats, which were the prelude to the most important operations. A general battle took place on the 10th at Renchen. The republican troops alternately employed, in imitation of the skillful chiefs who commanded them, that national boldness which overthrows every thing that opposes its impetuosity; and that unshaken courage which resists every effort. The enemy left in the
power of the French ten pieces of cannon, twelve hundred prisoners, six hundred horses, and a field of battle covered with dead bodies. Their loss is enormous. Such is the expression of Moreau, the commander in chief.
"The army of the Sambre and Meuse did not remain a passive spectator of the victorious march of the Rhine and Moselle. The division which had fallen back behind the Rhine, forcibly repassed that river at Cologne, between Coblenz and Andernach. A corps of the enemy which defended the right bank, was compelled to fly with precipitation."
The assembly immediately decreed— The Council of Five Hundred, considering that every victory obtained by our brave armies, gives the republic an opening to the conclusion of an honorable and solid peace; and to all the people of Europe, a pledge of the speedy cessation of the destructive scourge of war, Declares, that the armies of the Rhine and Moselle, and of the Sambre and Meuse, continue to deserve well of their country; and that the present resolution shall be printed, and carried by a state-messenger to the Council of Elders.
HULL, July 15.
BY EXPRESS
London, Wednesday evening, half past 8, July 13.
This morning government received dispatches from Gibraltar, said to be of the most serious importance. They were dispatched by the Governor in a fast sailing transport, with orders to the Captain to make the first English port, and set off express to the War-Office.
The intelligence brought by the Captain of the transport from Gibraltar, which arrived at the War-Office this morning, is said to be, that of considerable preparations going on at the camp of St. Roch, evidently intended to act offensively against that fortress; as also, a large body of forces having arrived at the lines, which for this month past have been cantoned in the village ten or twelve miles distant from the camp. But from the secret manner in which those in official situations, in the office, have acted, since the receipt of the above dispatches, nothing further has transpired; though it is evident, from manner and conduct, they are of the most momentous nature.
Our correspondent's letter also confirms the account given in the preceding part, of the entire defeat of the Austrians, with immense loss.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but one. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington--Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. 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 (nor suspension indispensable).

IN pursuance of an act of Congress passed on the 18th day of May, 1796, entitled "An act providing for the sale of the Lands of the United States, in the territory north-west of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river," that the Quarter Townships of land described in the annexed schedule, lying in the seven ranges of townships which were surveyed in pursuance of an ordinance of Congress, passed on the twentieth day of May, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five, will be exposed for sale at PUBLIC VENDUE, at the Merchants' Coffee-House in Philadelphia, on the 4th day of January next, and thenceforward from day to day, until the tenth day of February ensuing, unless the said quarter townships shall be sooner sold, in the manner and on the terms and conditions herein after mentioned, to wit: 1st. The said quarter townships shall be sold to the highest bidder, but no sale can be made for less than two dollars per acre of the quantity of land contained in such quarter township. 2d. The highest bidder as before mentioned, must deposit at the time of sale, one twentieth part of the purchase money, in the hands of the Treasurer of the United States, which will be forfeited if a moiety of the sum bid, including the said twentieth part, shall not be paid within thirty days from the time of sale. 3d. Upon payment of a moiety of the purchase money in the manner before mentioned, the purchaser will be entitled to one year's credit for the remaining moiety; and shall receive a certificate describing the quarter township purchased, and declaring the sum paid on account, the balance remaining due, the time when such balance becomes payable, and that the whole land therein mentioned will be forfeited, if the said balance is not then paid; but if the said balance shall be duly discharged, by paying the same to the Treasurer of the United States, the purchaser or his assignee or other legal representative, shall be entitled to a patent for the said land, on his producing to the Secretary of State a receipt for such balance, endorsed upon the certificate. But if any purchaser shall make payment of the whole of the purchase money at the time when the payment of the first moiety is directed to be made, he will be entitled to a deduction of ten per centum on the part for which a credit is authorized to be given; and his patent shall be immediately issued.
