FREDERICKSBURG, October 10.
Yesterday was run over the course near this town, a race of four mile heats. The beautiful Virago, the property of Mr. Taylor, took the purse from Mr. Page's black horse, and Mr. Thornton Alex- ander's black colt, without a touch of the whip. For the Republican Citizen.
Mr. Mullin, Not to your sentiments as a man, but to your impartiality as a printer, the author looks for the insertion of the following:
Last night, as I lay on my bed, This curious dream came in my head, That a moderate man appeared,
And said, If Mr. Jefferson is elected President of the United States, all the present officers of government will be put out of office. Perhaps Burr will fill the place of Pickering, as secretary of state, and the 18 virtuous Virginians will canvas for the other vacant offices. Pinckney will be recalled from France, and Mason (that treaty hero) will be sub- stituted. In 15 months we will be involved in a ru- inous war, which will terminate in the fall of the present fabric of government, and a disunion of the states. In the mean time, every Frenchman in America will become a pensioner. On the other hand, if Mr. Adams is elected to that important office, which he alone is best able to fill, the citi- zens of America will walk forth to their fields in peace; there will be no revolution among the pre- sent officers of government; wholesome laws will be administered to us; the face of the republic, from Georgia to New-Hampshire, will be clothed with abundance and peace; the people will be uni- ted; our rivers will swell with commerce; our vil- lages in a few years will grow to cities; and our United Eagle will float the most respectable of flags, in all the ports, rivers and bays in the universe.
LATE Foreign Intelligence, BY THE AMERICA, CAPT. EWING.
Head-quarters of his royal highness the Archduke Charles; Zell, near Wurtzburg, Sept. 5, 1796.
MY LORD, Yesterday the citadel of Wurtzburg capitulated; the garrison, to the number of 700 men, surren- dered themselves prisoners of war. General Bel- mont chief of the French artillery, is among the number.
A prodigious quantity of stores, of ammunition, and provisions, has been found in the town and cit- adel; partly left there by the Austrians, partly col- lected by requisition from the neighbouring coun- try.
Intelligence is received that the enemy has aban- doned in Schweinfurt, seventy pieces of artillery, which he was unable to transport.
From the reports of the corps in front, there is every reason to believe that the enemy has decided- ly quitted the Mein, and directed his retreat to Fulda. The light troops which have been sent in pursuit, continually bring in prisoners & baggage; and the Peasantry, exasperated at the unwar- rantable outrages of the enemy, has risen in many parts, and deliver up or destroy all the stragglers who fall into their hands.
His royal highness, determined to persevere in the same line of operations, this day detached Col. Count Meerfeldt, with ten squadrons of light ca- valry, to form a junction with the garrisons of Man- heim and of Mayence; by which means a corps of 12 or 15,000 men will be enabled to act in the rear of the enemy. From the distinguished abilities of the officer to whom this enterprise is entrusted, the greatest hopes are entertained of its success.
The army moves this day towards Wertheim; and the head-quarters will be to-morrow at Ruen- gen.
By the last accounts received from the other side of the Danube, it appears that general La Tour still maintained himself in front of Munich; but the success on this side had not then produced the expected effect, of forcing general Moreau to a re- treat. It hardly seems possible that he should now venture to delay it.
I have the honor to be, &c. ROBERT ANSTRUTHER, Captain 3d Guard.
Translated for the AURORA, from Hamburg papers.
MILAN, September 3.
Buonaparte has issued two important proclama- tions. The first relates to the establishment of a mi- litary commission which shall be composed of five members, whose business it is to examine every complaint against military agents for vexatory ex- tortions.
In the second proclamation addressed to the Tyro- leans, he threatens with fire and pillage all those who shall attempt to oppose the peaceable march of the French into their territory; at the same time he invites them to consider that the French Repub- lic does not strive to make conquests beyond her na- tural boundaries, the Alps and the Rhine; and that she might very well suffer Tyrol to remain in- cluded within the future boundaries of Austria.
VIENNA, September 7.
There is yet a talk of peace here notwithstanding the greatest preparations for war. The many and Baron Thugut give rise to this. However it does not appear that peace altho' so ardently wished for will soon be concluded. The demands of the French are exorbitant. Lehrbach, who is now in Tyrol is also invested with powers to open a nego- tiation.
Wurmser has sent word that the French had ra- ised a corps of 45,000 men in Italy, who are deli- cated to attack the most dangerous posts. A suffi- cient number of French are divided among them, to keep them in order. They are also threatened with being fired at with grape-shot if they will not do their duty. Nevertheless Wurmser makes no doubt but the great majority of these Italians will join him, if he was only again put in a situation to ad- vance against the enemy.
COBLENTZ, Sept. 9.
6 o'clock in the evening. The heavy baggage of Jourdan passes this mo- ment through this town. The French troops are concentrating in the environs of Wisbaden, where a general and decisive battle is expected. At least it is certain that those troops, which were yesterday posted between Neuwied, Dierdorf and Hachen- burgh, advanced this day towards Wisbaden.
The siege of Ehrenbreitstein is carried on with redoubled activity, and for that purpose the French continue to send over all kind of ammunition. Last night the garrison of the fortress let some rockets fly, which probably served to inform the Austrians of the situation of the place; the same day the French pioneers were harassed on all points. To- day all is quiet.
MUNCHENAU, September 9.
The Austrian general La Tour has again been forced, after a very bloody engagement, to fall back, and evacuate the fortress of Landshut and his position behind the Iser. The French light troops pursued him to within a short distance of Braunau, where he has retreated in order to stop the further progress of the French in Austria. On this side the French general Moreau, whose army amounts to 82,000 men, is complete master of Ba- varia, and it is generally believed that the corps of general Ferino has not only passed the Inn near Burkershausen, and entered Upper Austria, but also that two considerable French corps are advancing rapidly along the Inn and Iser to Inspruck, which is no more than sixty miles from this city.
Translated for the American Daily Advertiser.
HASSIA, September 6.
A messenger who arrived here just now brings the account that the fort of Wurtzburg surrendered on the 4th inst. in the morning. The engagement near Wurtzburg on the 3d, was uncommonly mur- derous. The French first chief of artillery, and general of division, Bellemont, was taken prisoner. The English colonel Crawford who was mortally wounded near Auerbach, and afterwards taken pris- oner, was delivered up at the request of the Arch- duke.
FRANKFORT, September 6.
The French retreat much quicker towards the Lahn and the Lower Rhine, than they formerly advanced. Franconia is totally evacuated, some few frontier places excepted. A number of the clerks and secretaries of the different commissioners have been wounded by the armed Franconian peasants. Yesterday a new hospital was erected in the Com- peltel, besides the great one in the Germanic hotel, where most all the soldiers bro't there, were such as had been wounded by the peasants. Ten peasants who had either plundered some baggage waggons, near Alschaffenburg, or had been found armed, were shot here by the French, before the gate of Sachsenhausen.
The division of generals Kleber and Lefebvre re- treat by Wetzlar, towards the Lahn, and to Sie- gen - another division of the French is said to march against Darmstadt, Grossgerau and Oppenheim. In this direction, they will find the garrisons of Man- heim and Mentz in their way, and they may get into a bad situation.
If the Imperialists can advance with a sufficient force, it is supposed that the French will not be a- ble to maintain themselves on the Lahn, as they have lost a great deal of ammunition, and have been obliged to leave most all their artillery behind.
September 9.
Our city is now again occupied by the Imperia- lists, and the Imperial gazette now again decorated with the Roman Eagle, has the following para- graph:
"The French left this city at three o'clock this morning, without the least disorder, after having had possession of the same from the time they march- ed in on the 15th July, for the space of 54 days. - The small garrison which remained here last night, took the following precautions to secure their retreat. On the outer gates of the city, they sawed off the head timber of the bridges; on the stone bridge over the Mayne they threw the wooden part of the bridge into the river; they wanted to blow up a part of the stone work, but fortunately gave up their design; they locked all the gates, and threw the keys of the Boockenheimer gate into the ditch."
"This morning, at half past 2 o'clock the im- perial premier lieutenant of the Karazay light horse, count de Miern, together with captain de Schmutz- termay of the Blankenstein hussars, entered the city with 25 horses, after having taken prisoners a small French post of 7 men, which probably had been forgotten. After a short stay in the city, he took his road through the Boockenheimer gate towards Horbett, and soon after his men brought in a num- ber of French prisoners. Several detachments of imperial troops, particularly cavalry, passed this day through this city, and along the same route to- wards Homburg and Hochst."
"The vanguard of the imperial major-general prince Lichtenstein pursued the French from Wurtz- burgh towards Hummelburg; having taken the road towards Fulda, the prince dispatched 600 horse towards Saalmunster and Gelnhausen, who arrived there on the 5th. After several severe skirmishes, the French were cut off from the road to Frankfort."
"In the pursuit by Brisleir towards Wetzlar, 40 baggage waggons were taken from them, and 150 prisoners. On the 7th inst. an engagement took place near Hanos, wherein two, and 150 five, baggage-waggons were taken. At Friedburg marched this day through this city towards Konig- stein."
FRIEDBERG (Watteravia) Sept. 12.
Since the 9th, we have got the imperialists here, after the French had occupied our city for 62 days.
The Witterau has suffered greatly by the retreat of general Jourdan's army, who marched through the middle of the country. Several villages have lost all their cattle, and all their effects. In a place called Liberg, in Hesse Darmstadt, the peasants opposed the French; the place was there- upon set on fire, and the minister, a man of 70
years of age, together with 25 inhabitants, lost their lives. The villages of Leigstern, Sineforth, Weisel, &c. are partly plundered and partly burnt. When the peasants in several of the districts of Hes- sen Darmstadt, learned that the retreat of the French would be directed through those parts, they collected to the number of 4,000, under the command of M. de Schenk, and waited for the re- treating French column in the mountains near Al- sfeldt. When the French advanced, the peasants stood there fully armed in parade. The French cavalry astonished drew their swords, Mr. de S. then rode up to the French general, and declared, that his army of peasants was 15,000 strong; that they were convened only for the purpose of protecting the country from being plundered; that it was not their intention in the least to mo- lest the retreat of the French, but that they were determined to destroy them all if they commenced plundering. The French then quietly proceeded. Among the imperial generals who passed through these parts, in pursuit of the French, was prince Frederick of Orange.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BAVARIA, September 7.
Yesterday the imperialists and the corps of the prince de Conde, were obliged to quit their advan- tageous position on the other side of the Iser op- posite Manchen, in order not to be out-flanked by the republicans. The latter are now in possession of the Iser. In the engagement on the first of September, near Gengenfeldt, the imperialists had to leave behind several cannon, the French had likewise a great many wounded. The day before yesterday the head-quarters of general Moreau were already in Wolznach. The cessation of arms between Bavaria and France is said to be agreed upon; it is said to be concluded at Villenengen, and the elector, beside great requisitions in kind, is to pay thirty millions of ready cash to the republic.
The French are said to have entered Freglingen. The army of general Moreau consists of 80,000 men.
BILBOA, September 23.
On the 25th instant, orders arrived from Madrid to lay an embargo on all English vessels in this port; but there happened not to be a single vessel of that nation at Bilboa at that time. On the 26th a neutral vessel entered this port, which had been examined by four frigates, and a brig under English colours cruizing off this port.
HAMBURGH, September 16.
The Erlangen gazette says, that 8,600 French troops, are on their march from Straisburg, &c. to join the army of Jourdan, and that Pichegru is to have the command of the army of the Sambre and Meuse in lieu of the last mentioned general.
It is reported that in the neighbourhood of Wetzlaer a very severe engagement took place be- tween the French and the garrison of Mayence, which turned out much to the disadvantage of the former.
Two thousand Hungarians have passed through Vienna on waggons, proceeding to reinforce gene- ral field marshal Latour.
The elector of Saxony, who had 60,000 men under arms, had notified the emperor, he had con- cluded a peace with the French, and that Buona- parte was penetrating into Tirol.
A courier from Jourdan was captured by the Austrians with dispatches for Moreau, relating the situation of the army in consequence of the Austri- an successes.
September 17.
His majesty the king of Sweden, under the name of the count de Haga, and the duke regent, under that of the count de Wals, arrived at St. Peter- burg on the 24th of August last.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August 10.
The French ambassador, M. Verninac has the most decided influence with the Porte, and is in a manner looked upon as the director-general of the political affairs of the same. After several late meetings of the divan, the armaments here are car- ried on with the greatest alacrity; and orders have been dispatched to the pashas in the European and Asiatic provinces, to furnish their contingents of troops. That these preparations are not intended against the rebels in Romelia, is most certain. For the chief thereof, Sinap, having been beaten, and his head sent hither, the army is almost totally dis- persed; and the beylerbey, who hitherto command- ed near Adrianople, has received orders to advance with 40,000 men, towards the Danube. This march makes a great deal of noise here. The French that are here say publicly, that it is intended by this march of the Turkish troops, to force the emperor to make peace with the French, in order that the latter may be enabled to encircle her marine, and to turn all her efforts against England. These cir- cumstances have occasioned here the report of an approaching rupture with a peaceful neighbour, whose power, and the preservation thereof, is per- haps of more consequence for the Porte, than is commonly supposed.
In the mean time, the Porte has fresh rebels to contend with, in the interior of the empire. The pacha of Midden is marched with a considerable corps, to take possession of the cities of Nissa and Sophia. To the latter, 8,000 men have been sent, in order to entrench themselves there, until the rest of the troops, which have been ordered, shall ar- rive. The pacha, meanwhile, has a great number of friends in the army, as well as at court, who secretly favour him, and give him information of all that passes.
The pacha of Scutari has likewise raised the stan- dard of rebellion again. At the head of 6,000 men, he makes all the neighbouring pashas tremble, and has actually defeated two of them entirely. His intention is to take revenge of the Montenegrines, on account of the insults and damages he and his subjects have suffered on several occasions from them. All enemies that fall into his hands are most barba- rously murdered. The Porte has sent orders to the pacha of Bosnia, and to all the pashas of Albania, immediately to put themselves at the head of their troops, in order to oppose the rebellious pacha.

DRESDEN, September 5.
The imperial minister, count de Slick, has pro- posed, in a particular declaration, in a most solemn manner, against the surrender of the city of Nu- remberg and its territory to the king of Prussia.— The free imperial city of Dunkelsbuke, is likewise going to submit to the sovereignty of the king of Prussia.
COLOGNE, September 13.
The French head-quarters are already transferred to Andernach, on this side of the Rhine. Last night an express arrived here from that place, with orders to remove the magazines here to a place of safety. Great part of the French Sambre & Meuse army, is making through the territories of Treves towards Luxembourg, in order to cover that neigh- bourhood. The baggage of generals Lefebvre and Kleber is arrived here, and about 20 waggons load- ed with money.
HEIDELBERG, September 12.
It is supposed, that we shall have soon some se- rious work in this neighbourhood. Several thousand men, cavalry of the army of the archduke, have arrived here. They have this day been joined by a part of the garrison of Mannheim, at Schwetzingen, and marched towards Bruchsal, where the garrison of Philippsburg, the siege whereof the French have entirely raised, will join them. We expect there- fore an engagement between the imperialists and the French, who have here about 4000 men under general Eckeneyer. The peasants carried lately 180 French prisoners, and two pieces of cannon, through this place to Mannheim, without any further military effort.

"Truly unfortunate would it be for our coun- try, if the republican interest was likely to be divi- ded upon this great decision—if there were a num- ber of candidates, all of whom would be supported by their particular friends and neighbours, from a perfusion that all had equal pretensions, and would stand an equal chance. Happily this is not the case—the resplendent abilities, the faithful services and the inflexible patriotism of the Vice President of the United States, the illustrious ADAMS, have long pointed him out in the minds of all well- informed men, as the successor of WASHINGTON. That Mr. Adams's election will be disputed is not doubted—but, by whom—by those who hate his virtues, dread his talents, and tremble at his firm- ness. The same considerations which induce the enemies of our government to oppose him, should unite its friends in the strongest bonds of union."
"Its own welfare, and the destiny of posterity, are involved in the use of which the present gene- ration shall make of its privileges. And after hav- ing laid so fair a foundation, Gracious Heaven for- bid, that we should ourselves destroy it. An im- proper choice of a President at this period, might undo all that Washington has laboured to accom- plish—give a dangerous turn to our foreign rela- tions—unhinge the machine of state, and perhaps furnish the votaries of despotism with a fresh argu- ment in favor of their darling maxim, that mankind were not made to be free."
MR. FENNO,
Whence this extraordinary exertion in favour of Mr. Jefferson? and why are so many handbills in circulation vilifying Mr. Adams? At whose ex- pence is this business conducted? and what is the object of Mr. Jefferson & his partisans? My sus- picions are awakened by the most unfair and unjust proceedings of the anti-federal party; and on en- quiry I am informed, that a congress was held at Mr. Jefferson's house last year, at which all this bu- siness was preconceived, and all the lies invented. Is it not extremely curious to observe, that while the honest federal republicans are continually resign- ing, from the first offices, because of the insufficiency for maintenance in the provision attached to these offices, we find the hungry exclusive patriots hiring all the elements to get into places, which honest and prudent men find unprofitable?
What can this mean? Do the anti-federalists hope to effect important changes in the fiscal department in their favour? or is foreign gold to be obtained by the event of their appointment to offices? Sure- ly they have something in view to balance their ac- counts, or their industry and calumny would not be so extraordinary.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
BOSTON, October 18.
It is said that admiral GRAVES arrived at Halifax the week before last from England, with an addi-
tional naval force for that station, and several trans- ports with fresh troops for the garrison. The news comes by the way of Shelburne.
NEWFOUNDLAND.
The attack on the island of St. Johns, by a French squadron, is confirmed; with the destruc- tion of the hamlets at Bull's Bay and Piacentia. A vessel from thence, arrived yesterday, in three weeks —by her we learn, that the fleet consisted of ten sail, almost all of the line; but not supposed to have many troops on board—that they had not at- tempted the town of St. Johns, but continued cruising off the coast. It was however supposed they would make the attack; and would be resis- ted, as the island could raise nearly 7000 men. A dispatch had been sent to Admiral Murray, who could not fend any assistance. Capt. Girdler at sea spoke a brig two days sail to the East of New- foundland, and was informed by her, that a fleet of 10 sail of the line, and two frigates, had taken Newfoundland, a 50 gun ship and two frigates un- der Ad. Wallace. The brig had dispatches for England. This last is the latest. A Marblehead fishing schooner was spoke having passengers from Newfoundland on board.
Capt. Curtin from Halifax, about 15 days since, informs that admiral Murray lay there, with a 74 and 4 frigates—the people expected a visit from the French. He supposes there are about 1000 troops there.
CARLISLE, October 19.
Extract of a letter from New-York, of the 4th inst. to a gentleman of this place.
"Mr. Hamilton publicly declares, that he thinks it would be best, on the score of conciliation and expediency, to elect Mr. Jefferson President, since he is the only man in America that will secure us the affection of the French republic." [The cause must, surely, be a dying, That is supported by such lying.]

BRUSSELS, Sept. 12.
The retreat of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, under gen. Jourdan, is more serious and de- cisive, than it was at first thought to be. The re- publicans being constantly pursued and attacked by an enemy of superior force, have been compelled to fly in such a hurry, that they were obliged to leave artillery, baggage, and in particular an amazing number of killed and prisoners behind them. The worst yet remains. The different columns of ge- neral Jourdan's army had to act separately in a country which is divided into narrow passes, and thus every one was separately worsted in a dreadful manner. In such a pressing situation a decided part was to be taken, in order to save the remains of the army, and therefore gen. Jourdan gave orders to all these columns to rendezvous on the right bank of the Mein. The staff of said army was already at Frankfort on the 5th inst. and also troops at or about that city entirely worn down by fatigue and hardships, and most part without clothes and shoes. These troops arriving in great disorder it is to be inferred that the misfortune of the republican ar- my must be very considerable. All the baggage and artillery of reserve is to be sent to Limburg on the Lahn, whilst the army will choose a good stand behind the Mein, where they will wait for the numerous reinforcements which are sent to them from all parts.
In the mean time, the imperialists are filing down the river with a considerable force, and if they are not arrested in their career by unforeseen events, it is to be apprehended, the army of gen. Jourdan will be obliged to re-cross the Rhine. Gen. Mo- reau will also have to fall back to prevent his left wing being surrounded by the imperialists, and an attack in the rear. The greatest part of the troops besieging the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein are ordered from there towards the Mein and very few sent to replace them. The letters from Frankfort, New- wied, Coblenz and Trier, mention, that an aston- ishing number of wounded are daily brought to their hospitals, and that the roads are covered with waggons loaded with these unfortunates—we ex- pect to see during this week strong reinforcements to pass through this city, which will come from the interior of the republic and resort to the army of gen. Jourdan, as also a great quantity of artillery and ammunition.
HAGUE, September 13.
A petition of a great number of inhabitants of the city of Arnheim, has been presented to the National Convention, bitterly complaining about the oppressive charge of quartering troops in their houses, & in particular about the ordinance of the committee of the country, which commands the inhabitants to furnish to each soldier 1 half pound peck, 1 pot of beer, &c. at the rate of 3 flivres, whilst said articles cannot be provided for at less than 9 or 10 flivres. They represent this burthen as the more aggravating as the inhabitants have already suffered unceasingly by the long continuance of the war. They further express, that no instance of such an imposition has been experienced during the administration of the Stadholders or under any des- potic government—which grievance when not re- moved will compel the petitioners to use resistance.
HALIFAX, October 6.
Extract of a letter from Trepassey, dated 9th Sep- tember, 1796.
"The French squadron anchored the 5th at the Bay of Bulls, and landed 2,000 men in the course of three hours; next morning they totally consum- ed it by fire, making prisoners of the principal in- habitants. They intend to march to St. John's, where there is now 4,500 men in arms and all the fortifications manned.—The 50 gun ship, 2 frigates and 1 sloop, that are at St. John's, are stationed in the narrows, and every body seems inclined to think they will give them a warm reception. But it is the universal opinion that whether they succeed in their attempt on St. John's or not, they will to- tally destroy the out harbor."
Tuesday evening arrived here the brig Jane, Capt. Pryor, from Quebec, but last from Bradore, a harbour on the Labrador shore, where captain
Pryor arrived on the 18th of September. Off that harbor, the day he arrived there, he spoke his majesty's ship Pearl, with the Quebec convoy, con- sisting of 14 sail, homeward bound. The same night a heavy gale of wind came on, and the next morning the Pearl and three sail only of the con- voy were to be seen from the shore. On the 22nd, an express arrived from Fortau, a settlement in the Streights of Belleisle, informing that three frigates belonging to the French squadron, had made their appearance off Temple Bay: that they stood in to near as to be fired at from a small fort which was erected on shore, which induced them to stand off again. This express also brought intelligence, that the three frigates were afterwards seen near the Quebec fleet, which was at the time in the nar- rowest parts of the Streights of Belleisle.
Twelve sail of square rigged vessels belonging to Dartmouth, Poole, &c. were about half loaded in the adjacent harbors, where they were exposed to the destructive ravages of the enemy.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intituled an act in addition to an act, intituled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and Septem- ber for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thou- sand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the ori- ginal capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hun- dred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then ad- due, according to the contra, for the final redemp- tion of the said stock." 2d.

FOR SALE, A very Valuable Estate, CALLED TWITTENHAM, situate in the township of Upper Darby, and county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 330 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime wood- land, and the rest arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two story brick house, with 4 rooms on a floor, and cellars under the whole, with a pump-well of excellent water in front; a large frame barn, stables, and other convenient buildings; a smoke-house and stone spring-house; two good apple orchards, and one of peach- es. The fields are all in clover, except those immediately under tillage, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly con- venient for grazing. The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a gentleman's country seat. The foregoing is part of the estate of Jacob Hartman deceased, and offered for sale by Mordecai Lewis, Surviving Executor. Oct. 9. 1801
