To William Wister & John Armstrong.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE been your advertisement "To the Public" whereby you offer your services to locate United States Military Land Warrants, and in which you assert that you "possess superior information to any others" and that you can locate warrants "the most advantageously." As I believe you have not explored more of the Military District than some other persons who also offer their services to locate warrants—permit me to suggest the propriety of altering your advertisement, so as to do justice to those whose knowledge of the Military Land, is, at least equal to that which you possess. I do not mean that all who advertise as locators are superior, or even equal to you, in the knowledge of it. I have advertised by persons who have never explored a single range, and by others who have been over but a final part of the Military Land—to these your advertisement would apply; but as you claim all other locators as inferior to yourselves, I have taken the liberty of giving you the above advice, which if attended to will tend to the present satisfaction. A LOCATER. February 5.

A valuable Estate for sale, IN VIRGINIA.  THE NORWICH LANDS, MILLS, AND APPENDAGES. THIS ESTATE IS situated in the county of Henrico, on Four Mile Creek, near its junction with James River, about 12 miles from the city of Richmond, and nearly the same distance from Petersburg. There is about 450 acres of land, and the whole of it good soil for agriculture, and a full proportion of it very suitable for grass; about one half of it is cleared and in a state fit for immediate cultivation; the rest is in woods and well covered with useful timber of different kinds. As to the improvements on the farm, there is a decent dwelling house with the usual out houses, a good brick spring house, and a large new excellent barn, one story of brick, and the other framed work; two orchards of apples and of peaches, in full perfection and good fruit. The mills consist of three pair of bur stones for the grinding of wheat, and one pair of stones for grinding of corn, all of proved good quality, worked by overshot water wheels and double gears, with all the late improvements for screening, cleaning, bolting, and elevating the wheat and flour, all executed in the best manner and of the best materials and quite new—The mill house is large and convenient, being 46 feet by 72 feet with five floors, the two lower stories are brick, the rest framed work executed in the most substantial manner; the house and machinery of the mills will be found unexceptionable, and they are so situated as to be free from all risque from the freshest or inundation of the water courses—There is a very convenient brick bake house two stories high, with two large ovens; a very good house for the proprietor or manager, a store room, counting room, kitchen, &c. Also suitable houses for millers, coopers, and bakers—The tide water from James River flows to the walls of the mill, where boats of three to four hundred bushels but then can receive their loads out of the mill, and in one miles distance, ships of any size that navigate James River, can load in greatest facility. The neighborhood is healthy—very respectable as to inhabitants, being mostly independent farmers, and the soil is in general very justly esteemed equal to any on James River, for the growing of wheat; upon a moderate calculation, the average annual crops of the neighborhood equally convenient if not more so, to the Norwich Mills, than to any other market, amount to between thirty and forty thousand bushels of wheat. Mr. John P. Gordon who lives on the premises at present, will show the whole to those who may incline to view it. I would prefer a purchaser who could pay down the principal part of the purchase money, and would give a very advantageous bargain—or I will sell on a credit convenient to the purchaser, the interest being paid annually. I will wait for a purchaser till the 15th day of March next, and if not then sold, I will be glad to treat with a tenant for a lease, on terms which may be mutually agreeable. I have offered the whole of this estate for sale, on a presumption that the purchaser of the mills would incline to have the land also, for a supply of building timber, oven wood and hoop poles; but if it be more agreeable to him to take the mills and a few acres of land, he shall be accommodated accordingly.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13.
Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vulcus instanti tyranni, Mente quatic solidu.
The Democrats have at length completely carried their point with respect to the Permanent Army. It was resolved on Monday, in the Senate, that the bill sent up from the House of Representatives, suspending the enlistments, should pass into a law; and no other reliance is now left us for the preservation of this bulwark of the public hope, from the effects of ruinous a step, but the courage of His Excellency, the President of the United States. The votes in the Senate on this momentous question, were as follows: For putting a stop to the enlistments— Messrs. Anderson Brown Langdon Baldwin Cooke Marshall Bloodworth Franklin Mason Foster Nicholas Pinckney Also, Messrs. Bingham Dexter Goodhue Greene Gunn Hillhouse Howard Livermore Paine.
Gentlemen who voted for preserving the Army according to the law by which it was established— Messrs. Chipman Laurence Schureman Latimer Loyd Tracy Wells Read Watson. Impressed as we are with the most serious alarms at the manifest tendencies of this dreadful step, we cannot for a moment allow ourselves to doubt, that the measure will be nipped in the bud by the decided negative of the Executive. Never can there be an occasion more imperiously to demand that negative than the present. The President has expressly declared to both Houses of Congress, that, however the mission to France may terminate, a steady perseverance in a system of national defence is indispensable to our peace and safety. An advance therefore, on the part of Congress, towards impairing the grounds on which his administration rests, and on which his particular measures are bottomed, can only be met on his part, by opposing a firm countenance to such attempts, at the outset, or by recalling the steps themselves.
The measure just adopted is more awful, I think, in whatever aspect viewed, than that proposed by the honorable member from Virginia. In the first place, as it was carried by Federal votes; by gentlemen, who, under the influence of I know not what wretched calculations, advance into what they deem a neutral region, to embrace the enemy. This neutral country is full of concealed snares, and gins and pitfalls: every step of it is mined, and fraught with devices for their destruction. They have been blown from it into the air more than fifty times, and yet they advance upon it again, with the most sovereign unconcern. In the second place,—from the excess of evil, there often arises some important good—their extremes do often meet. From this benefit these good gentlemen have most kindly cut us off; and by the half measure they have adopted, left us exposed, to all the mischiefs which could have resulted from the prevalence of the motion of Mr. Nicholas. Thirdly, the measure of stopping the recruiting service, is worse than that of disbanding the army; because, nearly all the expense still continues, while all the beneficial effect of that expense is perverted to our injury. A Monarch without subjects, a general without an army, and an officer without soldiers, are standing butts of the jest and ridicule of all mankind; and a surer mode could hardly have been devised, for disgusting every military man in the country, than this of depriving the officers of their troops, thereby making each of them a pompous effigies of dignity, a nomen et praeterea nihil. These officers will not mutiny against their government, because they are amongst the most respectable and patriotic of men. It is my pride to boast an acquaintance with many of them, who have laid aside professions which supported them in the rank of gentleman, and with others, who relinquished every luxury and enjoyment of affluence, to join this army, this phalanx of federalism, these cohorts of justice and honor against the infidel, rapacious and sanguinary invaders of our rights, and their atrocious and unprincipled sectaries. I know they will not mutiny; but if it had been sought to devise a scheme to drive men to the extreme excesses of disgust, I know not a more plausible one than this.
The resolution proposed by Mr. Randolph ought now in all reason to be adopted. It is necessary in order to render this measure consistent with reason or common sense. The whole force of the mighty Twelve Regiments is, then, cut down to about three thousand men! Precious defence against the invasion of a foreign enemy, or the machinations of domestic treason. Why, Mr. Kean will turn out more than this number of well-armed, well-organized militia-men from the city and county of Philadelphia alone. I do not think that the movements of that powerful Triumvirate, Jefferson, Mr. Kean and Monroe, are by any means to be despised or disregarded. It is no longer a doubt that our unhappy country nourishes in her bosom vipers who live but in the hope of inflicting a mortal sting. There is not a doubt, that there are men in America, and men too of powerful and operative force who would
prostrate without remorse every pillar of the public happiness, to found an hierarchy, under which they might more securely aggrandize themselves; I do not less doubt, that these Capulets are abroad, that their hot blood is up, and flaring towards this object. And is this a time for disbanding troops? Is there not extant a danger to be guarded against, guocumque modo? But there seems to be a system for repressing in the Federal cause all spirit worthy of the part which it is called to act. Sure never till now, were the councils of Adonis relied on in affairs of state. When the reins of the steeds and the chariot of the Sun, were entrusted to the guidance of Phaeton, we read that the car was overthrown, and the presumptuous youth submerged in the waves.
True Americans will say, is a vexatious suit that this man urges with us, when the truth is, that I have only to say vestra res agitur: they will exclaim, whence this abuse and illiberality against an economical and a conciliatory measure? It was by his cursing economy that the villain Neckar, brought his monarch into all his troubles; and it was by conciliatory measures, that the unhappy Prince lost his head. If the economy, and the squeamishness, and the present conciliatory disposition of Federalism endure much longer, its empire will pass away like a dream, the shadows of illumination (no figure) will encompass it around, and its economy, and its conscientiousness, and its conciliation, and all its bitter delusions, will be atoned in one truly Republican succession of Fire and Blood.
The abuse of True Americans, half-Federalists and conciliation men, I have long learnt to despise. I feel inexpressible and uncontrollable chagrin and indignation, when I see measures pursued, under whatever calculations, so evidently tending to the ruin and subversion of the order and peace of this society, and so utterly militant against all usage and experience. Not having any Gold to hug, like the poor rich True Americans, and Time-serving Federalists, and economists and conciliators, I have no other object so near me, as the success and prosperity of my much-abused, sadly distressed country; and I will protest, alike against the undivulged pretence of treasonous malice, and the more fatal cowardice and ignorance of the enemies to every establishment by which in this day of distress and tribulation, the great Ark of our safety might be preserved and maintained.
I will dwell but for moment on the hope that the President will interpose his Veto between this alarming measure and its consequences, and then quit a subject on which there will be nothing more to say. The preservation of harmony between the different branches of the government, is undoubtedly desirable: at the same time, when an important prerogative is entrusted to either department and the exercise of that prerogative is demanded by motives of public safety, no considerations of this or any other nature ought to prevent the exertion of it. Nor, do the reproaches of evil-minded men on such occasions, merit the slightest regard. It is true that the newly enlightened citizens of France, murdered their Royal master, on this pretence; but the people of America, however debauched by the introduction of the profligate principles of that hideous race, are not yet degenerated to so high a pitch of perverseness, civilization and refinement. In this one respect, at least, they are not yet the freest and most enlightened nation on earth. I think, that whoever attentively considers the late events in France, will view that Republic as a more formidable enemy to America than ever—formidable in enmity, in fallacious peace still more for: Gallia fidem non habendam. Talleyrand, who was turned out of office by the old government, for demanding tributes and bribes of our ministers, we behold reinstated in his former office by the new governors? And for what particular merit more probably, than for his care over the Strong Box of the Republic, to which Buonaparte appears to have a very single eye. With this polluted, ill-omened Apostolus Diaboli our mission must treat, if they be at all allowed to treat, which I deem very questionable. Are these the auspices on which we are to rely for peace; this crisis at which our wisdom disbands the only army the country has to boast of? * Peradventure, our self-sufficient, middle-going, conciliatory Federalists possess the enchantment of Pompey, and with a tramp of their feet, can call up Legions, like the soldiers of Cadmus, from the Earth. Since they are the conduct of that memorable man, it will be proper to remind them of his fate. We have more than one Cæsar to deal with. DIED, on Thursday evening, Mr. Henry Phillips, merchant of this city.  WATER-OFFICE. Centre Square, February 5, 1800. IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought reasonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by showing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine house cannot appear improper.
