Extracts of Letters from Charleston, dated 14th and 19th June. "I informed you of a dreadful fire having happened, by which 60 or 70 houses had been consumed; but alas! it seems the ruin of Charleston is determined on. Since yesterday, 3 o'clock P.M., till now, 7 P.M., at least 250 dwelling-houses are in ashes by an Incendiary . The fire caught behind Penman's and Corrie's Stores: the latter lost a good deal. All the north side of the Bay, from Penman's new store to Church street, all the opposite part of Queen street, great part of Union street, all Lodge alley, great part of Union street continued, all the east and west side of Church street, from Queen to Broad street, M'Kenzie's, Doctor Joseph Ramsey's, and Blacklock's houses and the north side of Broad street to the Beef market, and from thence to Queen street, none but two houses are standing."
The fire was partly stopped in Whitman, the Silversmith's house, which being of Brick, and tiled , prevented it from spreading farther. The wind was high at the time, and I expected it to cross Broad-street, after which all the southern part of the Bay would have gone. Only five houses on the Bay, from the corner of Queen street, were burnt. Kinloch's house, all Kinloch's court are in ruins; the old Church steeple was three times on fire, but saved by a great reward and greater exertions. Dr. Carter's house and the neighbouring ones were pulled down; a great number of Houses were blown up; several lives were lost, and many worthy people were hurt.
I was present at the fire of 1786; but that, as well as every other I have ever seen, was a mere illumination in comparison with this; the column of fire was tremendous, and spread in different directions at the same time. Again! a fresh fire, from which I just now came, the Bake-house of Gaillard, in Elliot-street, was on fire, but happily extinguished. The streets are almost impassable for the furniture and goods saved lying all about. The general loss is immense. 19th.
"The confusion the whole town has been thrown into by the late dreadful fire, is the reason of the delay the vessel has experienced. I add only a few lines to the enclosed narrative. Since Monday night, every day one or two fresh attempts have been made to set on fire the remaining part of the once flourishing city of Charleston. This morning was again noticed by an attempt, all or most by Negroes; who, when surprised and taken, shewed handfuls of money, which they say they received from white-fac'd villains, to encourage them in this disastrous business. Where it will end, God knows. The inhabitants are worried out with fatigue. Constant watching, patrolling, and doing duty on guard, is enough to cut down the healthiest man. I shudder, when going home, to pass through a long lane of smoking ruins, where you are constantly exposed to falling chimneys or threatening walls. The distress of so many families, lying in Churches and out houses still smoking, makes my heart bleed. In Broad-street, Mr. Jack's house stopped the flames."
"The villains always watch the wind, to make a new attempt on a fresh quarter. Had we but once a plentiful shower, I should sleep sound. All business is at an end: and if the Banks had not come to the enclosed resolutions, every note would have been protested. "May your city never experience a like disaster, is the sincere wish of, yours, &c."
Philadelphia, July 1. At a meeting of citizens convened at the Coffee-House for the purpose of adopting a plan to afford relief to the indigent and distressed persons who suffered by the late fire at Charleston, Thomas Fitzsimons was chosen Chairman, and Jacob Shoemaker, Secretary. Resolved, That subscription papers be prepared, and distributed through the different wards of the city, to obtain signatures for the relief of the sufferers abovenamed. The following persons are accordingly nominated to obtain and collect subscriptions in their respective wards: viz.

By order of the Meeting. JACOB SHOEMAKER.
TRUE AFRICAN WIT: And a Fool.

E P I T A P H. [Published in Porcupine's Censor, for May. ] WHEN the wight, who here lies beneath the cold earth, First quitted the land that had given him birth, He commenc'd the apolite of bloodshed and strife, And practis'd the trade to the end of his life. Sedition and nonsense and lies to dispense. He took up the title " Old Common Sense ;" Taught poor honest men how rich rogues to keep under; Excited to pillage, and shar'd in the plunder; But when there no longer was plunder to share, His " common sense " led him to seek it elsewhere. To his countrymen now he return'd back again, The Wronger of Rights and the Righter of Men ; He told them they still were a nation of slaves; That their king was a fool and his ministers knaves, And the only sure way for the people to thrive Was, to leave neither one nor the other alive. But Thomas, who never knew when he should stop, Went a little too far, and was catch'd on the hop, In short, it was determin'd that poor Tom should lose His ears at a post, or his life in a noose. "Old Common Sense" boggles, then skulls out of sight, Then packs up his rags and decamps in the night. His arrival at Paris occasions a fete, And he finds, in the den of assassins, a seat; Here he murders and thieves and makes laws for a season; Is crammd in a dungeon, and preaches up " Reason ;" Blasphemes the Almighty, lives in filth like a hog, Is abandon'd in death, and inter'd like a dog. Tom Paine for the Devil is surely a match; In hanging Old England he cheated Jack-Catch. In France (the first time such a thing had been seen) He cheated the watchful and sharp Guillotine, And at last, to the sorrow of all the beholders, He march'd out of life with his head on his shoulders.
S P E C I M E N. From the Aurora. The following is translated from the Patriote Francaise , a French newspaper published in Charleston, S. C. By giving it a place in your impartial paper, you will oblige many of your subscribers. June 8. Z.
CHARLESTON, May 19. There is not a person in Charleston who has not been a witness to the activity and ardor which the French citizens exerted in giving the most prompt succours in the last conflagration: The newspapers of this country have paid them, in that respect the just tribute of eulogium. Every one has heard also of the generous act of that brave mariner of the same nation, who, the day after the fire went up to a man, who did not know him again, to return him four thousand pounds, which had been confided to him at the moment when the fire was making the greatest ravages. Nevertheless there have been Americans unjust enough to throw on the French the most odious suspicions. There is yet in the United States a leaven of royalism of which the first legislators of America have been very wrong in not ridding their country. That inveterate class incessantly work in the dark, and will end by fettering America anew, and by rivitting forever their chains, if they remain supine; there is no intrigue but what these put in motion; no calumny, no atrocity, but what they invent to impose on the credulous and timid class of the people which is always afraid of losing. It is thus that we are made to pass for people to be feared; it is thus that a personal dispute, which took place the day before yesterday, has been taken up to make of it a national quarrel. What does it import to those Leopards, who always advert to their origin, to spill the blood of their fellow citizens and that of an allied people, provided they can serve the tyrant who keeps them in pay. Americans! you know not the French; they never strike a coward's blow; they are at peace with you; they are in your country, they will respect your laws and will submit to them without murmuring. If they were your enemies they would show themselves to you face to face without paying attention to numbers, for the French never count their enemies but after having vanquished them. Why will you reduce us to the necessity of speaking of ourselves? Why will you force us to bring to your recollection our generosity and your ingratitude? Why oblige us to make you remember
that you are but a people of yesterday, that without the aid of the French you would yet be an English colony, after having been punished as rebels? Recollect the situation of America at the Epoch when De Grasse arrived in the Bay of Chesapeake—remember York Town; have you forgotten how many thousands of Frenchmen have spilt their blood to assist you in gaining your liberty? What generosity has not France, since the beginning of her revolution shown towards you. Nevertheless, what have you done since the beginning of the actual war as an acknowledgment for all that? When you thought us crushed by the number of our enemies, you have not known us. What has been the conduct of the captains of your merchantmen in our colonies? who have spread in our Islands so many bad half-joes? Do not your banks yet overrun with gold and silver ingots arising from the melting of the plate and jewels of the unfortunate inhabitants of St. Domingo? Has there not been found at the last affair of Legogane, numbers of American among the dead, enemies of France? and yet we have been silent. Have you treated us better in your own country; while you were forbidding us all purchase of arms and ammunition of war, you were permitting the English to have an enclosure at Norfolk, and to buy in Virginia horses to assist in carrying on the war against us in the colonies, contrary to the faith of treaties; our prizes on the enemy have been arrested by your tribunals, and the amount has not yet been paid to the crews. Your pilots have run our vessels aground. The new treaty which we proposed has been rejected under trifling pretexts. When the slaves who waged war against us were beaten, you sent an ambassador to Paris, but at the same time Jay arriving at London; and you know for what purpose and yet we have said nothing. You boast of having afforded us a hospitable reception! Great efforts! we bring into a new country a population of several thousands of persons of all ages and sexes; we bring you the residue of wealth we were able to save from the flames, and what is more, our industry, our arms, our arts, our manufactures, and you reproach us with it. We bring into your ports the immense riches which we take from the enemy and it is mostly you who profit by it. Since we are among you the circulation of specie has doubled. Your cultivators sell their produce better; your proprietors in town have tripled the rents of their houses; your lands are better cleared, and you reproach us with it. Have we not also given you the first lessons in the fine arts? before us who were your artists in painting, sculpture, music, dancing, &c. &c. perhaps we may one day even teach you how to enjoy unadulterated liberty, for you cannot be looked upon as a people perfectly free, as long as you show more ardor to defend your pecuniary interests than your INDEPENDENCE, as long as England and the petty kings of Africa shall abuse you with impunity, as long as you shall be kneeling and that you shall tremble before the earthen statue which you have erected with your hands; as long as you shall be unjust towards your allies and insensible to the fairest of virtues GRATITUDE.
French Republicans! Let not, however, your sentiments pass the limits of silent indignation.—Continue to respect the laws of the country you live in; answer to calumny by an irreproachable conduct, by new acts of generosity, by new virtues—and recollect Montesquieu's motto: Il est grand il est beau de faire des ingrats; It is noble to make ingrates.
From the CENTINEL, Mr. Russell, That there has existed in this country, ever since the arrival of Genet, a set of men hostile to its peace and happiness, is a truth supported by ten thousand proofs. They assume a visible existence, on every event, in Europe or America. They magnify every thing French and belittle every exertion of American patriotism—With them no conduct of all the French authorities, under all their constitutions has been, or can be wrong—and no conduct of the Federal government has been, or can be right.—Their curses have been uttered against every measure of the President—whose reputation they have endeavored "to damn to everlasting fame." Let any true American review their writings and speeches, for four years past—See their execrations on every measure, which has been taken to preserve the blessings of our country—Peace and Independence!—Let him recollect the changes continually rung in our ears, of " Aristrocracy ," " British influence ," and other insinuations false than hell is false; and then let him turn his attention to the reiterated endeavors, by fawning at one time, and threatening at another to colonize the United States, and to make us wholly subservient to the Independent French Republic. I say, let any true American review the conduct of the faction, and then let him lay his hand on his heart, and say, whether his country has not been menaced and himself degraded, by a viperous faction, which now preys on its vitals. Men whom he has been accustomed to revere and respect have been traduced; and customs and laws grown venerable from antiquity, have been violated and trampled under foot by men, who respect no other laws, than those of their wills, whose only motive is mischief—and whose God is gold.
These reflections arose in my mind, on reading the essays, signed " Paulding ," which have been copied into the Chronicle from the Aurora . In these essays, (the effusions of the same malignant spirit which has already been excreted in the character of the " Calm Observer ," and " Valerius ," we see the most circumspect patriotism, and vigilance for our country's welfare, branded as treachery and tyranny. We see the most able defender of the rights of his country, and the principles of Republicanism, insulted by an infamous assassin, with the opprobrium epithet of " Columbian Majesty ," and to the shame of our country, we have seen printers so degenerate as to give circulation to the venom of this detested " Inake in the grass ."

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 1.
CHARLESTON, June 22.
CIRCULAR LETTER agreed upon by the citizens of Charleston, June 19.
Friends and Fellow Citizens,
United to you by the endearing ties of private friendship, and a common citizenship, we feel ourselves encouraged to apply to you for aid in the work of benevolence, imposed upon us by the defoliated fire, which has recently ruined a fair portion of our city.
Scarcely had we recovered from the confusion and distress arising from the fire, which laid waste the upper part of the city—scarcely had we enjoyed the melancholy pleasure of distributing the fruits of the benevolence of the citizens, to the amount of 15,000 dollars, amongst the sons and daughters of affliction, than we are again affailed by a heavier calamity. A fire more rapid, extensive, devouring and irresistible than any we have experienced for nearly twenty years, sweeps off a great part of the city, destroying houses, furniture, and goods, to an immense amount, and reducing many industrious families to famine and to ruin.
Time has not yet allowed us to calculate the extent of the loss, but a partial view exhibits the miserable picture of 300 houses reduced to ashes, and of 400 families driven for shelter into the houses of their friends—into the buildings appropriated to the comfort of the poor, of the orphan, and of the helpless—which being insufficient to afford shelter, some of the unfortunate victims have been obliged to convert the House of God into the abode of man, and to take refuge at the altar.
Many are reduced from affluence to beggary—almost all who have been burnt out have sustained great losses, and are placed in circumstances which call for immediate relief.
Every exertion is making by the citizens of the town to alleviate the miseries of these unfortunate fellow creatures. Every heart feels for their distress. Every hand is open for their relief. Much has been done and more will certainly be done—but much remains for the exercise of the friendly affections. The resources of the inhabitants of the city already exhausted by the almost continued draughts made upon them, by the unfortunate of our own, as well as of foreign countries, are inadequate to meet the exigence of the present enormous evil.
Where can we turn for assistance so naturally, or we trust so efficaciously, as to our friends and brethren of the country, whose interest and whose affections are bound up with ours, and who share in our prosperity, and in our adversity—we are commanded by the voice of this community, to make the appeal to the feelings of our fellow citizens in the country; and we make the appeal in the confidence that it will be effectual; and that they will readily seize the occasion of co-operating with us, in the great duties of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the houseless, and comforting the afflicted.

[Gen. Pinckney's draught of a petition.]
To the honorable the Speaker and the other Members of the House of Representatives of the State of South-Carolina.
The Memorial and Petition of the citizens of Charleston,
Respectfully sheweth,
That a considerable part of their city has been lately reduced to ashes by two dreadful and destructive fires.
That the frequency of fires, and the extent of their devastation in this city, has been chiefly occasioned by many of the houses having been built with wood, and by more having been covered with shingles.
That the building and covering houses in this manner, not only endangers the property of the proprietors of them, but renders insecure the houses of other citizens in their vicinity, built of brick or stone, and covered with slate or tile.
That these fires do not only occasion great loss and damage to those whose properties are immediately consumed, but the injury sustained extends widely, and involves many others in the ruinous consequences; they even cause a diminution of the public revenue, as vacant lots pay a much less tax to the state and city, than lots improved.
That as it is contrary to the social compact for any person to make such use of his property as will be injurious to his neighbour, and as your petitioners are thoroughly convinced, by sad experience, of the pernicious consequences of their building with wood or covering with shingles, they most earnestly request you to ordain, that the outside of all buildings, hereafter to be erected in the city of Charleston, or within half a mile thereof, be thenceforth built of brick, stone, tabey, or some other incombustible material, with party walls of the same; and that all buildings which hereafter be covered within the above limits, be thenceforth covered with either slate, tile, stone, brick, tabey, or some other incombustible material; and that you will make such further provision, as to your wisdom shall seem meet to prevent, as far as human care and foresight can prevent, the repetition of the dreadful calamities they have suffered.

Foreign Intelligence.
DUBLIN, April 16.
REVIEW OF THE SESSION OF PARLIAMENT. Yesterday the session closed; it may be useful to review it.
The opening on the part of government was moderate and firm; on the part of opposition, insidious and malignant.
Administration recommends an attention to the state of provisions, the restoration of internal tranquillity, and the most vigorous means of prosecuting the war, if peace could not be obtained.
Pledged on the war, opposition acquiesce; on the measure of security, they attempt to delude the people by unmeaning inquiry into the state of the poor; and as to internal tranquillity, they make an effort to decry the means of preserving it, and to censure the persons who had been most active in suppressing insurrection. They farther endeavor to impute to government a design of introducing religious persecution; and try the temper of parliament on the exploded principle of introducing British party as the engine of Irish opposition. The struggles of last session are attempted to be revived—the authors of the renunciation act are represented as the enemies of Irish Independence; Mr. Fox is held up as a Comet, to whom Ireland is to be the tail; the brilliant experiment of appealing to the people against the government of England, is revived; and the sedition of Francis Street Chapel, is repeated in the senate with all the affectation of studied plagiarism.
The country gentlemen of Ireland were not to be corrupted by their language; neither sedition nor disaffection, nor British party, were lures to their understanding; they thought their lives, their properties, the constitution, and their country in danger; they felt that the administration was acting sincerely and honestly for their preservation, and they refused to be the dupes of disappointed party.
Opposition, finding no support, and that every attempt to gain strength disclosed increasing weakness, soon relaxed their efforts, and sunk by degrees into a faint approbation, or faint abuse, of the measures of government.
Last year the magnitude of the supply had been extolled and exaggerated, as the greatest effort of Ireland, and solely attributed to the unexampled popularity of the administration of the day; this year a supply of the same magnitude has been carried with quiet facility, but without any parade. The difference in the two years is this—that the same force which was last year procured by a loan of 1,500,000l. for the current service, is this year supported by a loan of 700,000l. only. Such has been the economy of government, that a saving of 500,000l. has been brought to the public credit.
A judicious stoppage of the export of grain, ensured plenty to the people, and a wise investigation dissipated alarm. The high price of corn throughout Europe had encouraged a great speculation in Ireland; corn was bought up in great quantities for export, and hence the temporary high price: but speculation has overthot its mark; corn is falling in England; the prospect of the next harvest is promising; of course adventure will soon cease, and reasonable and cheap prices will return.
No parliamentary measure has been taken for the poor: most wisely—for no parliamentary measure can serve them. When government proclaims that the kingdom increases in prosperity year after year, whether in war or peace, it follows of course that the situation of the poor must be daily ameliorating. Prosperity arises from an increased supply of produce and manufactures; but these are the result of employment and industry; the poor can only be benefited by employment and industry. If then the country gradually prospers, it is a sure test that industry and employment are increasing, and consequently that the poor are better supported; for as there is more demand for labor, the price of labor rises with the demand.
With regard to the disturbances of the kingdom, the conduct of the government has been most judicious; it has avoided committees of inquiry, from unwillingness to produce materials which might stamp either disgrace or suspicion on persons or parties, where convincing evidences could not be always substantiated: it has relied more properly on the public notoriety and the public feeling. In applying the remedy to disturbances, its policy has been preventative and not vindictive: it has armed itself with the greatest powers, but confined the right of exercising them to the disturbed districts alone.
The insurrection law is the policy of the day; the operation of the civil bill jurisdiction is a measure of perpetual efficacy. The government of Lord Westmoreland had much merit in placing the most efficient characters on the bench; the present government has ensured the continuation of that wise policy, by increasing the salary of the judges, so that even the place of a puisne judge will now be an object to men of leading business in the hall. This is, however, a measure in which I think government is peculiarly self interested; for if any thing more than another can attach them to the constitution of their country, it is the confidence that justice at all times will be ably and impartially administered. A bad judge is of more service to government than the most furious opposition. In increasing the salary of the judges, a wise provision is introduced to secure their going circuit; the defalcation from their salary is made so great as to be an effectual counterpoise to indolence; the af-
fizes will be respectable; for the business of civil bills being removed, the judges will have leisure to complete the business of their circuits creditably, and they will no longer be crowded and tumultuous.
LONDON, April 27.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
April 26.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole house, on the slave carrying bill.
Mr. Wilberforce said, that what he now meant to propose went merely to make some alteration in the number of slaves that were to be carried, in order to prepare the islands for abolition, which was so great an object with many. He wished to render the slaves somewhat dearer, in order to encourage the good treatment of them, and to prevent any new settlements of them being formed. By this means a total abolition might be effected in the manner most desired by many gentlemen in the house. He therefore would move that the number of slaves to a ton should be limited to one for every ton, when the tonnage of the ship was 200, and four for every five tons above that quantity of tonnage—and likewise that no more ships should be allowed to enter into the trade than those now engaged in it; and he proposed that the blanks in the bill should be filled up with that proportion.
A long and desultory conversation ensued, in which Mr. Jenkinson, General Tarleton, Mr. Dundas, Mr. Baitman, General Smith and Lord Sheffield spoke against the motion.
Mr. Ryder, Mr. Francis, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Smith spoke in its support.
Mr. Wilberforce, however, consented to withdraw his motion, as it seemed to be the general desire of the house to enquire into the degree of morality which the present mode of importing slaves occasions, and to grant such accommodations as their health required.
The house being resumed, Mr. Hobart reported progress and asked leave to sit again.
Mr. Rose moved, "That there be laid before the house an account of all the cargoes of negroes imported from the coast of Africa from the year 1789 to 1794 inclusive, mentioning the number that have died from the time that they were first taken on board until their arrival in the West-Indies; also distinguishing each year, and the different parts of the coast of Africa from whence they were imported."

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
The following paragraphs, translated from the Courier Francois , and published in the Aurora of this morning, are strikingly corroborative of the information contained in the Letter from Cape Francois, inserted in your Gazette a few days since. There are some assertions contained in these paragraphs which are too gross for the most credulous Gullivers of a foreign Jurisdiction to swallow. It is important however to the mercantile interest to know with precision, on what footing their commerce is likely to be placed. As these paragraphs may afford something like a clue to the business, they ought to be extensively known.
Yours, C.
Letters from Charleston inform that British privateers have lately taken and sent into the ports of his Britannic majesty 16 American vessels from French ports, and among the number the Schooner Polly belonging to Mr. Troobloom merchant in Charleston. The pretext under which they now condemn American vessels is, that every citizen of the United States who resides on the French territory, is looked upon as a French citizen, and consequently that vessels loaded by such become good prizes.
We cannot omit remarking that scarcely a day elapses which is not remarkable by the number of American vessels taken by the English. They even sometimes stop vessels bound to neutral and even their own ports. They condemn the cargoes, and they always find a pretext for seizing them without indemnifying the owners.
The French, on the contrary, if they stop a few vessels carrying provisions to their enemies, they take out those provisions only, pay the market price for them and release the vessels. Proofs of this are found in the accounts given by captains through the medium of the public prints.
One solitary [reputed] American vessel, the Mount Vernon has been taken bound to London; it is not known whether she will be condemned, whether the motives which led to the seizure of her are solid, nor whether she is really American property. Yet this solitary capture made by the French causes more noise than the 1000 and 7 or 8000 seamen taken by the English. The public prints for a fortnight back are filled with abuse against the French, and it would seem that the insult offered by this single capture to the American flag is such as to require summary retribution.
Before Americans complain of the conduct of the
French let them put a stop to English pirates, let them cease to render themselves liable to be called on by the French to answer, why they have tacitly seconded the efforts made by the English to overturn the French Republic. Americans do not deceive themselves; it is not by toasting the Republic that you will prove your attachment; it is by executing with good faith your Treaty; it is by preventing your seamen from serving their enemies in violation of the laws of nations and of neutrality. As long as you submit to the violence of the English you lose all right to look for justice from France; you can no longer require that she should consider you as neutrals; and if they prefer silence relative to your present conduct, it is because her good faith does not suffer her to imagine that you take no step to cause your neutrality to be respected, or that you tacitly consent to her enemies finding reinforcements in your country.
NASSAU, (N. P.) May 31.
Yesterday morning came to town, the passengers and crew of the Schooner True Blue, belonging to Messrs. Moss, which failed on Wednesday last for Crooked Island, and was captured on Friday a few leagues to windward of this island, by a French private Schooner, which we are informed, acts also as a Guarda Costa for the government of Cuba.
Of the Bahama cotton planters, those of the Southern district of Long Island and of Cat Island, have this year been the most fortunate. It is worthy of remark that in Cat Island the Georgia or Presia cotton is almost universally planted. In the other Islands, the Anguilla seed is generally used.

Urbanna Mill Seats,
SITUATE in Cecil county, Maryland, on the banks of the river Susquehanna, about one mile above tide water, and commanding the water of that important river, the channel conducting the trade of which comes to near the Mill Seats as to make it convenient to speak the boats; and Mills may be so situated as to receive them along their walls, and by water lift take in their cargoes.
There is a power sufficient for many and any kind of useful Water Works, and so much may be justly said in commendation of this Site as would be inconvenient to insert in a newspaper publication.
Those who may desire to be concerned, will probably find themselves well pleased on viewing the situation.
Leases for any term of years may be obtained on application to the subscriber, living on the premises.

For Sale, That Valuable Estate known by the name of Mount Hope Iron-Works.
Situate in the county of Morris, and state of New Jersey, say twelve miles from Morristown and thirty from Elizabeth Town or Newark Landings; consisting of a large furnace in good repair, with the belt wooden bellows, drove by an overshot wheel of forty feet diameter, a bellow-house, eating house, bridge-house, and a large moulding-house, all in good order, together with a great variety of the most approved patterns of pots, kettles, tea-kettles, &c. &c. with a sufficiency of flasks therefor, and also a great variety of all kinds of stove patterns, and a complete set of patterns and apparatus for casting hollow ware, bar iron, &c. &c. A large convenient carpenter's and wheelwright's shop, a blacksmith's shop with two fires, a nailer's shop, and a lamping mill, a coal-house that will hold six hundred loads of coal, a large, convenient store, consisting of several rooms, two excellent barns and stables, a slaughter-house near the store, together with a great variety of houses for the workmen very convenient to the furnace.
The furnace is supplied with water from a number of springs, which render a supply certain: the pond consists of about thirty acres: the mansion-house is built of stone, two stories high, with four rooms with fire-places on the first floor, and a large, handsome hall, and five rooms with four fire-places on the second floor, with a very fine high garret, in which there are two fire-places, with a handsome piazza in front, the whole length of the house: at each end of the house is a handsome wing; one used for a kitchen, with servants rooms above; the other for a counting-house, and a cellar under the whole house, a well of the best water at the door, smoke and other convenient out-houses, two excellent gardens, in one of which is a large asparagus bed, several orchards of the best grafted fruit, and one hundred and fifty acres of upland, which may be tillable to advantage. In front of the mansion-house and in full view, is a most beautiful meadow of two hundred and fifty acres, in which may now be cut one hundred and fifty tons of the best Hay, besides affording a sufficient quantity of pasture for the teams, and as much more meadow may be easily put in, besides raising a large quantity of corn, potatoes and turnips. The lands belonging to this estate consist of about ten thousand acres; on which are the Mines for the works, two of which are of the best quality, one so near that a single horse and cart will bring ten tons per day, the other, a team of four horses may bring six tons. Besides the above there are several other mines of inferior quality very convenient, the iron of which is good for nails, and when mixed makes excellent castings. The mines are in good order, with proper levels for drawing off the water, and shafts at proper distances. Near the Works have been discovered several beds of Bog Ore, and there is no doubt, with a little attention a sufficient supply thereof may be procured. All the mines are supplied with proper houses for the miners. Within a mile and a half of the furnace there is an inexhaustible vein of limestone; from whence not only a supply for the furnace may be had, but also any quantity for building or manure. Within less than a mile of the furnace is about twenty acres of the best double spruce for beer; and near it is a celebrated mineral spring; and two and a half miles from the furnace, within the tract, are two valuable sites for Forges and Saw-Mills, on an excellent stream of water; and two large ponds may be made, and a permanent supply may be had, by a small expence, from a Lake of four miles in length and one mile wide, and adjacent a sufficiency of wood may be had: near to one of the sites is a good farm-house, and about eighty acres of arable land, a valuable orchard, and meadow to cut thirty tons of Hay; and in the swamp that will form the pond there may now be cut sixty tons of hay.
Belonging to the same Estate, and within three miles thereof, nearer the Landing, is a good NEW FORGE, with two fires, in complete order and repair, situate on Rockaway river, which furnishes a constant supply of water; adjoining which is a good convenient dwelling-house, with three rooms and a good kitchen on the first floor, and a good barn and stable; also a large convenient store, which is now kept for the supply of the iron-works and the country; and this situation is very convenient for the works, much more so than to have the dry-goods store kept at the furnace.
Adjoining to the foregoing Estate, and within four miles thereof, may be had if wanted, a tract of six thousand acres of Woodland, and a site for a Forge, on a stream of water very sufficient in every respect; together with several houses now built, and a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of fine low land; a great part of which will make, with a little expence, meadow sufficient to cut one hundred and fifty tons of hay; and now affords a great supply of pasture—the residue is arable and woodland.
AND ALSO TO BE SOLD, All that VALUABLE ESTATE, called Booneton Iron-Works,
Situate in the county of Morris, within eighteen miles of Newark Landing, and eight miles of Morristown: containing about three thousand five hundred acres of land, lying on both sides of Rockaway river, for near four miles.
On the premises is a FORGE with four fires and two hammers, in complete repair, which embraces the whole river, a SLITTING MILL, built in the most approved manner, with two furnaces for heating iron, with rolls, pillars, cutters, and every other apparatus in the most complete order, with a blacksmith's shop, coal-house, &c. &c. On the same dam is a very complete SAW-MILL; so that the fitting-mill has the full command of the whole river, with a head of twelve feet.
Immediately below, and on another dam, is an excellent new GRIST-MILL, with two run of stones, and constructed for a third. The mill is large, and convenient for a merchant mill, and situate in a country which will afford a constant supply of grain.
All the works are in complete view of the mansion-house, and within half a mile of it, which is a handsome building, with five rooms on the first floor with fire places, and four rooms up stairs, all in excellent repair, with a large kitchen and cellars, and a well of excellent water at the door. In front of the house is a piazza, sixty feet long, an excellent garden, with a great abundance of the best kind of Fruit: the out-houses are convenient and good; consisting of a large spring milk-house, ice-house, smoke-house, fowl-house, corn-crib, root-house, good barns and stables, &c. &c. Also, within view of the mansion-house, are twelve dwelling-houses, a counting-house, a stone house, occupied as a store for the country and works a large convenient house, with six rooms, four with fire-places; occupied by the clerks; the residue of the houses are for foragemen, millers, &c. There is, adjoining the store, a POT-ASH WORKS, in complete order, a blacksmith's shop, and wheelwright's shop, and other convenient appendages.
As Rockaway river runs through this estate about four miles, on which distance near twenty mill-sites may be made, so as to occupy the whole of this very valuable and constant supply of water, it may be justly considered as a very valuable object for any person or persons desirous of going into the manufacturing line.
On the premises, and adjoining the mansion-house, are about one hundred acres of arable land; whereon are two orchards of three hundred trees, of the best grafted fruit; and within two miles and a half of the forge is a very fine Farm of two hundred and fifty acres of land, in the best and most complete order; with one hundred acres of meadow, two barns, a good barn, and other necessary improvements—the residue is woodland, on which are a number of houses for the colliers, &c. &c. &c.
AND ALSO, Near three thousand acres of Land; situate in the valley
of Newfoundland, about sixteen miles north west from Booneton in the counties of Morris and Sussex, whereon is a very good Forge of two fires, and a number of other buildings adjoining thereto, for the accommodation of the workmen, with an excellent vein of Iron Ore, situate about one mile west from the tract.
The above Estates will be sold on easy terms, together with all the horses, oxen, wagons, tools, and every implement necessary to carry on the works. There is now provided wood and ore for eight months blast; so that the Furnace will be put in blast the beginning of June. Any person willing to purchase, may have the whole as they now are: there is also wood, &c. &c. provided at Booneton.
The terms will be payment down for all the moveable property of every kind, appertaining to the Furnace, and one eighth of the purchase money—the residue in eight yearly payments, with the interest annually every year.
A clear and indisputable title will be given for the whole. Apply to Mr. Samuel Clarkson, in Philadelphia, Mr. Peter Mackie, Merchant, New-York, Water-street; or to either of the subscribers.

PROSPECTUS Of a Clean and Elegant Pocket Edition of Select and Entertaining Novels; Or, NOVELIST'S POCKET LIBRARY;
Printed in so convenient a size that a volume may be carried in each pocket without the least inconvenience; being an agreeable travelling companion, affording amusement in the garden, the field, or the shady bower, and forming a valuable collection of Novels and Tales, written by the most approved authors, particularly
  Fielding Sterne Marmontel Cervantes   Smollett Goldsmith Racine Rousseau   Richardson Brookes Hawkesworth Le Sage, &c. 
To commence with the 1st volume of the celebrated novel entitled The Mysteries of Udolpho , by the author of The Romance of the Forest , &c. &c. embellished with a beautiful engraved Frontispiece representing an interesting scene in the above, elegantly gilt, at only 75 cents.
These select Novels shall be printed in handsome octodecimo pocket volumes, on good type and paper, and with a delicate new Bourgeois type on purple for the work, by which means the page will be uncommonly comprehensive; each volume containing in quantity a duodecimo, and sometimes an octavo volume, printed verbatim from the original copies. In addition to the elegance of the typography, each volume will be embellished with a beautiful engraved frontispiece, representing the most interesting scene that occurs in the respective volume.
A volume will be published regularly every three weeks and delivered to subscribers neatly and uniformly bound and gilt, at only three-fourths of a dollar each, to be paid upon delivery. If a sufficient number of subscribers are procured, the work will be put to press some time in August, and a volume published every three weeks in regular succession. The encouragers of this work may rely upon every possible attention being paid to ensure elegance in the engravings, neatness and correctness in the printing, and uniformity in the binding, the whole being done under the immediate tendency of the publishers.
Subscribers may withdraw and recommence their subscriptions at pleasure, so as to confine their choice to as few of the Novels as they think proper, or extend their collection to the whole that are printed, which will comprise only those highly approved novels which have been stamped with universal approbation.
  The Mysteries of Udolpho Humphrey Clinker   Romance of the Forest Amelia   Sicilian Romance Gil Blas   Castle of Otranto Peregrine Pickle   Old Manor House Devil upon Two Sticks   Sidney Castle Adventures of a Guinea   Desmond Launcelot Greaves   Family Party The Sifters   Tales of the Castle Don Quixote   Cecilia; or, The Memoirs of an Heiress Count Fathom   Evelina; or, a young lady's entrance into the world Almoran and Hamet   American Hunter Solyman and Almena   Theodosius and Constantia Tales of the Genii   Chinese Tales Moral Tales   Anna St. Ives Fool of Quality   Tom Jones Arabian Nights Entertainments   Vicar of Wakefield Arabian Tales, a continuation of the Arabian Nights   Joseph Andrews Fula, or the New Eloisa   Clarissa Harlowe Pamela   Tristram Shandy Clarissa Harlowe   Robinson Crusoe Sir Charles Grandison 
The publisher has not yet determined upon the arrangement in which the above novels shall appear; being determined to add and intermix other novels of equal celebrity, altho' he is conscious, that by comparing the above list with all former collections of this nature, the superiority of the present collection will appear obvious. British editors must necessarily exclude from their plans, all the new and entertaining novels that have been written within these last fourteen years, most of them being literary property.
