IN Frederick County, Virginia, bounding nearly three miles on the river Shenandoah, between Abby's Gap and Snicker's Ferry; 66 miles from Alexandria, and the like distance from the Federal City. It contains 1076 acres, 600 of which are cleared, the residue finely timbered; the whole Limestone or River Bottom; abounding in fine streams and springs; above 80 acres on the bank of the river may be watered at pleasure. It is capable of being divided into Lots of 100 acres, with water in each, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing or culture.

There is now erected on the Estate a good Merchant-Mill, with two pair of stones (on a large limestone spring) that rents for 460 dollars per ann. and on another never failing-spring a good Saw-Mill, with a flutter wheel; there is plenty of pine timber in the neighboring mountain, and a stream sufficient for another Mill with four pair of stones—these are adjacent to or immediately on the banks of the river, the navigation whereof is about being opened into the Potomac and for more than 100 miles above the mills. The other improvements on the Estate are a new commodious Barn, the loft of which is capable of containing 1500 bushels; the threshing-floor is 42 feet square, well planked; another (double) Log Barn, with sheds all around: a Distillery, with three large Stills, and a Granary above that will contain 500 bushels, well covered with shingles, and a stream of water, conducted by troughs, running thro' it; at a small distance is a large Cow-House and Stable, with stalls for 22 cows, paved with stone in the European manner, with room for above 40 waggon loads of hay; a little further is a strong stone-walled Spring-House, completely fitted for a Dairy. The whole of these Mills and Buildings are at a proper distance from each other, and from the Dwelling, which consists of three commodious Framed-Buildings, with the necessary conveniences. A well enclosed Garden of the finest soil, with a stream of water running thro' it; two large Apple Orchards; several good Quarries for building and lime-stone; a number of Out-Houses for Managers, Blacksmith, Cooper, and lodgings for Men of Colour;—add greatly to the conveniences and value of this Estate. The Purchaser, on paying one half the price agreed for, may be accommodated with a considerable credit for the remainder, and with the Cattle, Horses, Wagons, Farming Utensils, and Furniture, at a reasonable valuation. For other particulars, application may be made to the subscriber on the Estate, to Thomas Fitzsimons in Philadelphia, or Matthias Slough, Lancaster.

surest method to preserve our independence as a nation, is to resist openly, and with just indignation, all attempts of a foreign power, to intermeddle in our domestic government, under whatever pretexts they are made. Their patriotism will lead them to oppose, with firmness worthy the American character, every unwarrantable effort of the kind: and this diplomatic bull will be regarded in its true light, as the last desperate effort, aided by a faction not less desperate, to make the United States a dependency on France, by accepting for President a man of their choice, though not our own. Such a President, so chosen, ought not, nay, would not, be considered as our President—but the agent or commissary of the French republic.
Americans, beware of foreign influence: look to yourselves alone for safety. Rely only on your own good sense and virtue; for on the exertion of these depends, at this crisis, your future welfare and felicity. Decide between the address of the President and the Minister; and if you mean to follow the paternal counsels of Washington, reject and detest the plans of Adet, or rather of the French Directory, whose aim is, to draw you from a state of peace & neutrality, and sever the western from the Atlantic states. Louisianians being their's by treaty with Spain, Frenchmen will not be at ease, till the east side of the Mississippi is brought under the same authority. And if they succeed in nominating and appointing your chief magistrate, the rest of their work will require but little skill—they will divide, and carve, and manage as they fancy, and at their pleasure. AMERICANUS.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. Fenno, How is it that the Editor of the Gazette of the United States, does not seem to show the same attention to the federal, as some other papers do to a contrary interest? It is very rare that any of the latter description of editors, suffer any thing to be introduced into their papers reflecting upon the character of their friends; but either from inadvertence or want of information, we sometimes see in your and other papers, the friends of federalism, especially if they live at a distance, held up as enemies of the government. These observations have occurred from the editor of the Federal Gazette having suffered to creep into his paper, insinuations against the character of Mr. Gilpin of the state of Maryland, one of the Electors for President and Vice-President of the United States. Without anticipating for whom Mr. Gilpin will vote, you are authorized to pronounce, by a person well acquainted with him, and his respectable family, that they hold in abhorrence the disorganizing system ; that his father supported the establishment of the constitution under which we live; that the son entertains the sentiments of the father; and that it is not to be presumed that he will vote for men who would counteract the happy order of things which has produced such unexampled prosperity, and which nothing but the collusion of internal enemies with external false friends would interrupt or bring into jeopardy. A lover of Good Faith. Cecil county, Nov. 22.
LONDON, September 24.
Destruction of the Amphion Frigate.
A dreadful event happened on Thursday evening to the Amphion of 32 guns, capt. I. Pellew, in Plymouth harbour. By some accident not yet known the ship blew up, and the greater part of the crew perished.
Saturday morning thirty of the unfortunate sufferers on board the Amphion frigate were buried in the Royal Hospital burial-ground at Plymouth, in one large grave from East to West; it was a piteous and melancholy sight! The bodies that were owned were buried by their friends.
The Amphion arrived at Plymouth from the North Sea on Monday last night, and the day following went up Hamoaze to refit. Wednesday she went alongside the sheer-hulk, and got out a defective bowsprit; and on Thursday morning a new one was fixed in its stead; in this, together with overhauling the rigging, &c. the officers and crew had been employed great part of the day, and such were the exertions used to get the ship ready for sea, that it does not appear that more than 18 of the sailors were ashore on liberty. The captain, his first lieutenant, and capt. Swaffield, of the Overijssel, of 64 guns, now in this harbour, had dined together on board the Amphion; and whilst at table, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the captain was alarmed by a sudden shock, which his apprehension led him to fear was occasioned by gun powder, and that moment communicating his fears to those at the table, requested them with much earnestness instantly to follow him, and he forced himself through the Amphion's quarter gallery to get into the water, or reach the hulk, the lieutenant following close at his heels; but before they were clear of the ship, the fore magazine blew up, and they presently found themselves on the deck of the hulk, but how they got there, seems yet to be accounted for. Captain Swaffield and the others were not so fortunate; they have never been heard of since! It is generally supposed that they were drowned, and are now in the cabin, as it is expected that the after part of the ship may be entire, from the fire not having reached the after magazine, before the ship sunk. The explosion was dreadful indeed; and the melancholy effects that succeeded, are such as to beggar all description. Every part of the ship forward, together with masts, yards, sails, &c. &c. were blown up and hurled to a great height in one instant, and a scene of devastation that was on the one part, and the other, all the persons that were taken up out of the water, and parts of the wreck, alive were thrown from the after part of the ship, and were upon deck at the time of the explosion; these may amount to between 20 and 30, men and women. But all that were below the deck, went down in the ship, besides the crew, a great number of people belonging to Dock, such as wives of the sailors, women of the town, bumpkin people, and visitors, were on board among the latter description, was a very respectable tradesman, a Mr. Spry, upholsterer, and his son, who had been dining with his brother the
comptroller of the ship, and were all below when she sunk. The exact number of lives lost on this melancholy occasion cannot yet be ascertained, but it is supposed to be from 200 to 250 people. The bodies of those that were picked up dead, presented a spectacle too shocking for description; they were immediately sewn up in hammocks, and conveyed to a burying ground. Many were found on board the sheer hulk in a very mangled state; and so great was the force of the explosion, that 4 of the twelve powder guns were blown from the Amphion, and fell on the hulk's deck. The captain and lieutenant are slightly wounded. It never can be known by what means the accident happened, as the person who was the cause of it, together with all those that were near him, were in one instant blown to atoms. The remains of the ship are entirely under water, the only thing visible is the stump of her mizen-mast. The sheer hulk is hauled off from her, and the necessary preparation is making to weigh the wreck, as it lies quite in the Channel way, abreast of the Dock-yard. It is a singularity, remarks he, that the sheer-hulk to which the Amphion was lashed, has not received the smallest injury, nor any person that was on board her notwithstanding the guns shot, splinters, &c. fell so thick on board and about her.

MARRIED, On the 29th ult. at Williamsburg, Virginia, SAMUEL GATLOFF, Esq. of this city, to Miss GRIFFIN, only daughter of Samuel Griffin, Esq. of Williamsburg, late Representative in Congress for that district.
On Wednesday evening, by the Rev. Dr. Andrews, Mr. SAMUEL BENNETT, merchant, of this city, to Miss RUTH DOBEL, of Bristol.
In "The Federalist," No. VIII. published yesterday, second paragraph, 23d line, for convinced read concerned.
Extract of a letter dated Cadiz, Sept. 26, to a merchant in this city.
"Yesterday the Spanish fleet, composed of 18 ships of the line, 8 frigates, and 2 corvettes, left this port. It is believed they are bound to Cartagena, with an intention of forming a junction with the Toulon fleet, in their way thither."
Extract of a letter dated New York, Nov. 22, to a gentleman here.
"A gentleman of New York writes to his house here, from Malaga, dated 12th October; that war had been declared against England, and that the Spanish fleet of 17 ships, had chased admiral Mann into Gibraltar, and had taken two merchant vessels that were in his convoy, one loaded with sulphur, and the other with sick troops; from every appearance I believe it true."
Says a Correspondent,
It is not uncommon for a chief to be the first to set the example of "non resistance" in a civil account. For the trumped-up story in the Aurora of this morning. It is very probable that the Westmoreland and Layette returns were kept back till it could be ascertained what number was wanted to turn the majority—when a governor and his secretary are decided friends of a party, and a chief justice is one of the candidates—the other side could expect no other conclusion of this scandalous business than that which has taken place.
EXTRACT
From a late Presentment of the Grand Jury of Jefferson county, Georgia.
"Viewing the situation of nations and kingdoms, and contrasting with it our own, our bosoms can never cease to glow with gratitude and thankfulness to the great Creator and Governor of worlds for the blessings which he has so bountifully poured around us.
When we review the pages of history, tracing the progress of governments, we truly feel the inestimable blessing we enjoy in our own; and under that blessing, a ready obedience to the laws, and a strict adherence to justice, will mark our steps.
We trust government will prove to the universe that there is such a generous patriotism interwoven in the mind of man, that liberty may be enjoyed in its fullest extent without a fear of licentiousness; and it shall be our constant prayer that liberty's bright sun in this our western hemisphere may never set."
EXTRACT
From the address of his excellency the Governor of Maryland to the Legislature.
Annapolis, Nov. 16th, 1796.
"Gentlemen, It is with peculiar satisfaction, that I avail myself of the opportunity of addressing you at a period when our country seems distinguished from all others by the blessings it enjoys. The constitution of our general government, established by the free consent of the people, framed with a sagacious attention to the excellencies and defects of all the considerable governments, ancient and modern, and calculated to secure equal rights, and provide for the safety of all, hath become more valued by the stamp of experience. At peace with all the world—our agriculture, commerce, wealth and population, increasing beyond any former calculation—the productions of our soil are abundant, and the large portion thereof destined for exportation, may even command an exorbitant price; and when all ranks of citizens may obtain profitable and useful employment, and enjoy the fruits of their industry in perfect security.
"I have reason, gentlemen, most sincerely to congratulate you on this fortunate situation of our affairs. But in contemplating this pleasing picture, which I have the honour to present to you, the mind naturally turns with gratitude to that great patriot, to whom we are principally indebted for this singular state of prosperity. Almost the only subject of regret in our political situation is, that in a little time, our great and good President is to retire from that station, in which he has so long acted with the applause of the world—a crisis which all good men will lament. But we may console ourselves with the pleasing hope, that the instructions which he has given us, and that line of conduct which he has marked with so much labour, wisdom and virtue, for the advantage and prosperity of the United States, cannot be suffocated, but will be fully understood, revered and pursued by his successor."

The Subscription Room will be furnished with all the daily papers published in Philadelphia, New-York, Bos- ton, Baltimore, together with those of the principal com- mercial cities of Europe.—They will be regularly filed and none permitted to be taken away on any account.  Tea, Coffee, Soups, Jellies, Ice Creams, and a variety of French Liquors; together with the usual refreshments, will at all times be procured at the bar.

TO BE SOLD, A LEASE for seven years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called  PROSPECT-HILL, Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most a- greeable prospect of the Delaware, from the source of that river to the Capes. This prospect is greatly embellished by the Christians and Brandywine creeks, through which the beautiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk- house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the conti- nent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, a- bounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bear- ing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of encumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A re- siduence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within seventy yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and conveni- ence of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertise- ment, and when examined, will probably command the at- tention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington.  A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground some Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale.  Nov. 7. codif

RANAWAY, About the 1st of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooke, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CESAR; 33 years of age; about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a down look, and submissive tone of voice; the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others: he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler; I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehanna, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this state, and Fifty dollars if taken out of the state, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by  ALEXR.
