A numerous and respectable party of federal republicans celebrated the 4th of July, at Charleston, Cecil county, Maryland, on Monday, the 5th instant, where harmony and social intercourse prevailed. The company appointed P. Thomas, esquire, president, and John Miller, esquire, vice-president. The president then made the following address to the company:
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
We have been told, and all of us believe, that there are times for all things, and happy should I be could I consider this epoch as a time for the American people to rejoice—to assemble as formerly in the confident strength of their union, and the glory of their power. But departed is the time, and doubtful its return, when the war-worn soldier shall meet the companion of his labors, and sharer in his fame, without distrust. Such are the unfortunate events of the present period, that although equal virtue and equal attachment to our country and constitution exist in different minds, yet the machinations of designing men so worked upon the understandings of many persons, possessed of the best intentions, as to induce them to discard men whose political career commenced with the revolution, and whose virtues will be the theme of future ages. Every person present can call to his recollection, some evidence of this fact, and the annals of this time will furnish the historians with ample materials to transmit to posterity the malice with which an infuriated executive has pursued and driven from office, men who had made the public good their end.—Neither obscurity of birth, nor want of influential connections, stood in the way to preferment, under the late order of things—Merit and abilities came up for a memorial, and integrity found their due reward.—How sad the reverse!—On this auspicious day fared to the cause of America, that instead of listening to details filled with the applauses due our national greatness, we have to reflect that the voice of the people has placed on the pinnacle of our government, a man who spurns at the services rendered in the revolution, and by whom virtue is left to reward its votaries. Perhaps ere the 4th of July is marked in another calendar, the people who boldly dared in the sacred cause of liberty and man, may be consigned to receive a foreign yoke, and a foreign power! That your souls disdain the thought and that your arms would repel the attempt, I have no question—but vigilance and prudence are as necessary in the camp as bravery in the field. Let us devote something to those principles, and every one of us exhort his neighbor to judge for himself; to look into the book of our public transactions, and to reflect whether such men, and such measures as are there exhibited give a confident hope that our political barque will escape all the dangers that threaten without, and menace us within.
Let us consider whether measures calculated to divide, are not intended to destroy. Let us look back in our own time, and we shall find those heroes who obtained for us our glorious independence, forming a constitution and administering a government to the happiness of all America, we shall also find "when in the full tide of successful experiment," a miscreant band opposing the laws, and bidding defiance to its officers, and influenced by a Genevan adventurer, who now fills the first department in our treasury, and to whose fidelity the tax on our industry is all consigned. By what magic influence is the spirit of Americans so deceived! Who of all the American people that witnessed the revolutionary struggle, could have supposed that the influence of a Washington, who at the head of an unpaid, unclad, and almost naked yeomanry foiled the forces of the most warlike nations of Europe, and by his magnanimity and virtue so greatly contributed to the establishment of a constitution and government, founded on the purest principles of republicanism; and when in the practice of every virtue, and in the administration of that government, should have his influence destroyed by the intrigues of a man who, in the hour of danger, deserted his post, and in the time of prosperity and safety, was ever anxious to destroy that excellence which he could not imitate. That miscreants should seek for favor under the fostering wing of discontent, is not to be wondered at; but that the good sense of our country should give way to the salacious and insidious councils, of such as are without character or attachment, is truly marvelous. Painful is the reflection, that on this day,
when past services and generous reward was the theme of panegyric, that we have to recount the sad reverse. No longer does the ministerial favor rest on those who in defiance of rapids, mountains and climate, held their fearless way, to win their country's cause, or loose themselves on British ramparts or Canadian snows. The blood stained march to Trenton, and the hard fought battles of the war, are no more remembered, and the hoary veteran is driven from office, to procure subsistence by the labor of those limbs which have been scattered in the service of his country. The fact, and the reason for it, is equally notorious; but, however this consolation awaits, that in America it is no shame to have been the friend of Washington. The removal from office will be amongst the brightest records of their fame, and hence the world does know "that vice prevails, and impious men bear sway." Such men as are ready to sacrifice at the shrine of popularity their country's safety and happiness; who at a day when doubt and anxiety filled every reflecting mind as to the termination of a war which was unexampled in modern times, for the devastation and barbarity which marked its progress in the old world, and from the evils of which we were (in a great measure) preserved by the wise and firm measures of an administration, unequalled for its virtues; I say at that eventful period, have we not seen those theoretical and deistical philosophers endeavoring to sap the foundation on which all our hopes had rested, and to make way to a repeal of the tax on whiskey; they have prostrated every means of present defence against a savage people, whose myriads, we are told, soon will land on the shores of our western world. From every thing on which we can ground an opinion, a system has been regularly pursued to surrender our sovereignty to a nation who have submitted their happiness to a despot. To prove this to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind, it will be only necessary to advert to the conduct of many of the characters now in power, & we shall find amongst them those who by falsehoods and hypocrisy have caused rebellion to rear its dreadful front amongst our citizens, and obliged our government to put on the countenance of severity, and exhibit the energy of those principles at which it is the folly and wickedness of the present rulers to level a deadly blow.—Few persons are strangers to the manner in which that business commenced, and we have all felt the burthen of that tax which was necessarily raised to defray the expense of organizing and marching the militia to crush an insurrection, promoted by men whose nod now governs our country, and who in the dangerous hour, when civil discord threatened to shake our constitution to its centre, wished for the arrival of a Gallic army to decide our fate, and fix us under the jurisdiction of a faction here, who have acknowledged as their chief alien and an in conjunction with his associate, has ever been endeavoring to stop the wheels of our government, when they progressed with truth and honor.
They have now the reins, and the secretary of the whiskey insurrection (a factious foreigner, who opposed the adoption of our constitution) is instructed with the principal direction of the vehicle, and if the confidence of America is continued we must surely run to ruin. Those persons, who, we once fondly believed, would have stood as a rampart around the tree of our hope, are chiefly removed, and the axe of destruction is reared, and ready to be laid at the root. The voice of the people alone can stay destruction. Deception marches in the presidential van, and desolation must bring up the rear. Anarchy with her twin daughters, venality and vice stand ready to tumble our boasted constitution from its once envied height, to the lowest abyss of wretchedness. No more proud in republican rulers do we stand, like the firm and towering oak of the forest, who regardless hears the roaring of the storm, whilst the yielding willow bends and the brittle pine is snapt from its base. An enemy threatening our borders, and alarming commotions disturbing our domestic tranquility, ought to have roused the vigilance of our government, and caused it to adopt such measures as would have ensured to us safety and protection. But in order to deceive and destroy, you are told that the public debt is to be immediately paid, although the internal taxes are repealed. Certainly such duplicity alone is sufficient to give the stamp of infamy to a set of men who are arrogantly and exclusively styling themselves republi-
cans. From true republican characters the world has witnessed an administration incapable of fraud or deceit; to whom political persecution was unknown, and whose just and mild administration passed over without one fear from the sword of discord or one tint of blood appearing on the garden band that unites our constitution and government. Neither, my fellow-citizens, did any approved officer of that government, for the space of twelve years, embezzle one cent of the public money; all their transactions have been looked at by the jaundiced eye of malice, and nothing but a conduct that does them the highest honor is discovered, and the voice of truth is now calling to their enemies to cease biting, for they gnaw against a file. Our redoubled financiers, as I mentioned before, tell us that they have paid the public debt; but how? By borrowing of one foreigner, and becoming indebted to him for the amount we owe to another, and then claim our high approbation of their conduct, whilst under every pretence our funds are lavished unnecessarily away. The repairs to French ships of war have cost us not a little, and if a mode lately made public is continued we have great reason to believe that much of our wealth will be lavished on the bloated catiffs of presidential favor. In case of war or embarrassment, the impost on the necessaries of life must be augmented. An extension of impost on salt, bohea tea, coffee, brown sugar, molasses, &c. must supply the loss of the tax on carriages, refined sugars, stamp paper, whiskey, &c. In case of war money must be raised, or a degraded state of vassalage submitted to. You are therefore either to become an easy prey, or support a war by a tax on the necessaries of life, whilst many of the luxuries have ceased to yield that support which the wisdom of the late administration had drawn from them. The advantages of our trade are solely relied on for the support of government, a substantial evidence of the propriety of the measures adopted by the late system of politics for its preservation, and our gratitude is called forth to those gallant men who displayed such prowess with our infant navy. Soon was our coast freed from the depredations of those wretches who had plundered our unarmed ships, and taken our citizens into ignominious and barbarous captivity. No longer did they dare to avail themselves of the permission given them, by a minister of our land, who, in defiance of the rights of his country, offered to the French nation a sacrifice of all our merchantmen.—Such baseness was prevented as soon as it was known to our beloved and lamented Washington, and the degraded minister was obliged disgracefully to return to his injured country, where, after avowing the fact, his abettors procured for him the highest honor that his native state could bestow. Contrast, my fellow-countrymen, the different conduct of the different men: On the one side you see a Munroe, the representative of his country, offering up to the French, what are now esteemed the sinews of your wealth, and after returning with this load of infamy to his government, you see him by the democratic band rewarded with the government of a powerful state, and all the party striving to do him homage. On the other hand, you see the gallant Truxton and his brave associates, who gloriously defended the commerce of their country, and the honor of our flag, reviled, contemned and insulted, by a set of type-men who, fix the implements of the press, according to the ministerial nod. But this conduct cannot long prevail. The injuries done to the meritorious citizens of our country, will call for vengeance on their enemies, and the brave Rodgers must obtain retribution for the cruelty he experienced in a dismal dungeon, where the mandates of a French minister confined him for no other reason than having nobly faced the foes of Columbia, and to add every indignity, when they thought proper for him to be discharged, ordered him to depart from their shores, and tell his country the treatment he had met with. I cannot conclude my address to you without again entreating your vigilant attention to the present state of our affairs. Be assured that it is necessary to be ready to render every service you are able to perform to your country, and I trust that a proper exercise of those powers, which God and the constitution has extended to the American people, will yet save us from the premeditated evils of our worst of enemies, and those nations who anxiously with our downfall will vainly look for an accomplishment of their purposes. "The
day star" of federalism shall again illumine our western hemisphere, and the guardian angel of liberty shall rise with the seraph of religion, and direct us to the consummation of all that man can wish for.
FROM THE NEWARK GAZETTE.
"From whence shall a man satisfy these men with bread, here in the wilderness?"
An enquiry similar to the one of my text must naturally have been suggested to the mind upon viewing the multitude of Mr. Jefferson's disciples and followers, who, with appetites keenly set by long fasting, surrounded him, upon his accession to the Presidency. At this time but few offices were vacant, and "what were these among so many?" Whilst the Constitution appeared to limit the power of the President to appointments to mere casual vacancies, "from whence" therefore was it to be expected "he should be able to satisfy these men with bread?" Our government, with respect to its officers in comparison with other governments and the multitude who are solicitous for them, may indeed be considered as a wilderness presenting to their longing desires but a scanty morsel. It recognizes fewer offices, perhaps than any other government in the world; whilst the number of candidates for them bear a triple proportion—and the reason of it results not only from the spirit of our government, but particularly from those notions of equality which have been infused into the minds of its citizens. In the first place, all men are equally eligible to office; and in the next, all consider themselves equally qualified.—Because they have been taught that "all men are equal," they cannot conceive the reason, if this be granted, why one man can be better qualified than another, unless by the possession of Jacobinic principles, which at this day appears to be the only preponderating recommendation. It indeed seems to be considered by some as countenancing aristocracy to admit that men are better entitled to office and place because of their education or talents. For this would be acknowledging one set of men superior to another, which is contrary to one great principle of modern republicanism.
Under these circumstances, that so many should lay claim to office, and aspire to its possession, is not surprising; but the important enquiry suggested in my text demands attention—"From whence shall these men be satisfied with bread?" To satisfy them would require a miracle; for if a man already possessed of six offices should undertake a seventh, solicit an eighth, and desire a ninth, when will he be satisfied? If the extraordinary power which the President exercised to increase the means of refreshment for them, instead of furnishing an abundance and to spare, it is observed that not one fragment can be gathered, but that they still continue to surround him, crying, Give, Give, Give. "From whence shall these men be satisfied?" If for this purpose a sufficiency be not found in the offices of our present government, recourse may be expected to be had either to arbitrary power or to revolution; the former, which we may consider as a prelude, we have recently witnessed in the late removals from office, and the latter may be expected to steal upon us under the specious pretences of economy, reducing the sources of public revenue until the government shall become enfeebled by poverty, and deprived of the means of punctuality; shall grow disrespected abroad and contemptible at home; its citizens sicken with its languor and instability, and become the willing instruments in its final destruction; when from its ruins shall be built up a number of independent governments, opening new and increased sources of ambitious gratifications.
That the idea that has just been suggested is not the mere effect of a wild imagination, will be evinced by a retrospect of the conduct of those who compose the present administration, and its chief partisans.—In the review it will be observed that the principal characters amongst them were the warmest opponents to the adoption of the present constitution; but finding that the constitution met the approbation of a large majority of the people, they dare not longer openly decry it, least it should defeat their great design. They then hypocritically profess to support and admire it, and at the same time marshal themselves in opposition to the measures of government, creating every obstruction to the progress of the administration. Unable to succeed in these attempts, some of them

are the first to sow the seeds of jealousy towards those in office, and raise dissensions amongst the citizens—to excite open opposition to the laws and insurrection in the country. From whence proceeded all this, but from a rooted hatred of that constitution and government which set some bounds to their insordinate ambition? When having by loud pretensions to patriotism and seeming regard to the public good, procured a pass by the public Centinel and possessed themselves of the citadel of popular confidence, not daring to assume power equal to their ambition lest they should suddenly awaken the fears of those who support them, nor yet abruptly demolish the constitution which they sincerely hate, by a deep laid scheme of apparent economy, calculated to strengthen popular confidence and encrease a fatal security, they doubtless design to effect what every other artifice has hitherto failed to accomplish. Revolution is manifestly their object, and it is only from revolution that they can be satisfied. From which dreadful evil may the Guardian Genius of Columbia protect us Americans.
THE POLITICAL PREACHER.
NEW-YORK, July 9. IMPORTANT.
We learn from capt. Jackson, who arrived here yesterday in 12 days from St. Mary's, that just before he sailed, he was informed by a Spanish gentleman of respectability, direct from West-Florida, that the French had lately landed at that place with 3500 troops. This news was generally believed at St. Mary's and filled them with apprehensions of trouble from the French.
Capt. Jackson also informs us, that one of Bowles' privateers had lately taken a Spanish brig bound from Havanna for St. Augustine, valued at 40,000 pounds sterling—the same privateer had also captured a Spanish Schooner loaded with flour; both of which were sent into a port the west side of Cuba, the name of which capt. Jackson does not recollect.
A gentleman who arrived here yesterday in the brig Enterprize, from Antigua, informs, that the tranquility of Guadaloupe is so far restored, that the inhabitants, who had left that Island in consequence of the troubles, were generally returning. He also informs, that most of the blacks had been subdued; that only a few scattering ones still held out—and that many of them had been hung by the dozens, and as many shot.
Our informant adds, that he only heard of one white man having been put to death for aiding the blacks—a French planter—who requested to be shot, as he did not fear death, provided he might be suffered to lose his life at the muzzle of a gun—This, however, was denied him—and he was ignominiously hung upon the common gallows.
From the same gentleman we have a confirmation of the news which we published yesterday from our Bermudian correspondent, relative to Martinique. He adds that there is no doubt but there will be a general massacre of the whites at that place, as soon as the French get possession of the island; and which is very much dreaded by the inhabitants.
Flour at Antigua, which had lately been as high as 20 dollars a barrel, was, when the Enterprize sailed, selling from 9 and 50 cents, to 10 dollars. Beef and Pork was low; but the markets were extremely fluctuating.
BALTIMORE, July 11.
Arrived, ship John and Jane, capt. Long. 75 days from Malaga. April 6 left at Barcelona, brig Molly, Morse, of Philadelphia, to sail for some other port in Europe in 10 days. Left there, brig Ranger, Taylor, of and for Boston in 3 days; also, U. S. frigates Philadelphia and Essex. June 30 lat. 33, 14 long. 69 30, spoke schr. Greyhound, 4 days from Baltimore, for Barbadoes. In lat. 36, 55, spoke ship Active, 110 days from Centen, bound to Philadelphia.
FROM GUADALOUPE.
We have accounts to the 17th ult. by Capt. Edes, arrived at New-York port. The fever, which had made such ravages in this island, continue to rage, with unabated fury, carrying off great numbers daily.
An absolute prohibition has been officially announced to bring away any kind of island produce, except molasses, by Americans. Capt. Edes saw a Trinidad paper of June 11, which stated, that they were happy to learn that the French had conquered the rebels in St. Domingo, with the loss of about 1600 men, the flower of the Egyptian army.
By the best information Capt. Edes could obtain, the number of plantations burnt was from
350 to 400, but the property destroyed was immense, the most valuable part of which consisted of the sugar manufactures.

COMMUNICATION.
Mr. SNOWDEN,
From Callendar's observations published in your paper of yesterday, it would appear that he had received a letter from Mr. Jefferson, enclosing a pecuniary compensation, and thanking him for the publication of the "Prospect before us." If Callendar is still in possession of that letter, and will give it publicity, together with some respectable affidavits of its authenticity, he will render perhaps a more essential service to the community than he has hitherto done: 'Till that is done he is so miserably depressed in the opinion of all good men, by the publication of the work in question, as well by other of his writings, that he cannot expect to obtain belief. D.
Arrived, the Schooner Sparrow, Faldar Luckett, master, from Havre de Grace. Left there on the 20th May, ship Hannah, Hopkins, of and from New-York, bound to Cape de Verd Islands, to sail 23d May; ship Eagle, Wood, of Rhode Island, from Norfolk, bound to ditto; in 8 days; ship Nancy, Moore, of New-York, from Norfolk, bound to N.

FROM THE CITIZEN.
Mr. Duane, in his last Aurora, is pleased to observe that "the faction (meaning the federal faction) does not possess a single character worthy of biographical record, or whose private or public worth has entitled them to a place, except in that stupid and vapid production, the notorious and suppressed history of John Adams' Administration."
This observation I certainly would have passed over in silence, like other newspaper squibs, had not Mr. Duane, in a conversation when in this city at the book fair, unfolded to me the cause of his displeasure.
Mr. Duane and I before that period had never seen each other, but we had corresponded on the subject of Adams's Administration, and he had communicated to me many of the most material facts in a series of letters. These letters I put into the hands of Mr. Burr, when the project of a new edition was depending, on the faith of having them returned; but Mr. Burr, either through mistake or design, carried them off to Washington, the knowledge of which gave him no small uneasiness.
When Mr. Duane arrived at N. York, I waited upon him for the express purpose of apologizing for the circumstance of shewing his letters to Mr. Burr, but no apology could be received, as in his opinion shewing confidential letters, though on a political subject, to such a person as Mr. Burr, was an unpardonable act.
His next object of censure was the character I had given of Mr. Hamilton, which character he regarded as only intended to compliment a person, with whom most of the evils of the late administration had originated, and whose literary talents were not (in Mr. Duane's opinion) superior to those of any newspaper scribler. A dispute having arisen on this subject, we parted, not on the most friendly terms.
These circumstances I have thought proper to give to the public at present through the medium of your paper, but shall enter into a further detail of them in a pamphlet respecting the transaction of the suppression, now preparing for the press.

July 6, 1802.
Poughkeepsie, July 6.
On Thursday night last, the Aurora Borealis made their appearance in as brilliant and splendid manner as we ever recollect to have seen. A luminous arch or semicircle, extended from the N. West to the N. East, the diameter of which might be about 20 degrees above the horizon. From all parts of this arch, (which to appearance was about one yard in width) long pyramidal columns of apparent flame shot forth, some of which reached to the zenith, alternately rising, brightening, and fading away. The space beneath the arch, quite to its base, was filled with a black substance, resembling smoke, interspersed with spots of inconceivable brightness. The light which they reflected, was equal to the morning twilight, a short time before sun-rising. The wind breezed gently from the south. Fahrenheit's thermometer had not for several days, much varied from the degree of summer heat; the next day it arose several degrees higher. During the appearance of the light, there was, distinctly to be heard, a low murmuring sound, in the region of the north, like the roar of distant winds. This circumstance we have remarked on several similar occasions.
These phenomena have appeared at different periods, since about the year 1720; previous to that time we have no account of them, either in Europe or America.—They are common in Canada, Iceland, Greenland, and other northern countries. They were very frequent in the time of the late American war, since which they have rarely visited us. The causes of their appearance have not yet been accounted for on philosophic principles.

AURORA BOREALIS, AT BOSTON.
On Thursday evening last, this phenomenon was accompanied by the very extraordinary appearance of a remarkably luminous belt of light, extending from the eastern to the western edge of the horizon, directly thro' the zenith, which lasted about an hour. It appeared about five degrees in breadth, and formed a complete bow, dividing the heavens into two hemispheres. At the same time, a number of coruscations were seen exhibiting the appearance of light flying clouds, slowly undulating towards the centre. And during the whole night the northern part of the horizon was more enlightened than has been observed for many years.

From the Evening Post.
To Messrs. George Thatcher and Dwight Foster of Massachusetts.
Gentlemen. The brief sketches given of your characters in the history of President Adams's administration were drawn from Callender's Prospect, and his other works. I had however discovered previous to my negotiations with Mr. Burr, from a most respectable channel, that Mr. Callender had misrepresented your actions in an eminent degree. I had determined upon reprinting those sheets which contain the characters of the members of congress, and of correcting several other like errors in an appendix—The publication of the history without my knowledge and consent, after being suppressed, prevented these corrections taking place; I therefore consider it as an incumbent duty to make this public apology through the medium of the newspapers, unsolicited either by you or your friends, which I flatter myself will be deemed sufficient until the appearance of a pamphlet now preparing, correcting erroneous impressions, giving a statement of the various sources from which I obtained my information, and the circumstances attending the suppression.
I remain, gentlemen, with the greatest respect, Your obedient Servant, JOHN WOOD.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Paris April 24.
"There are no less than four plans, all of the highest importance, at present under the consideration of the Conservative Senate, and addressed to it with a particular recommendation from the government. Each of these will require what, by a term borrowed from the Roman law of language, is termed a Senatus Consultum .—The first of these plans relates to the suppression of the list of Emigrants, and the substitution of a new and contracted list in its stead. The second has for its object to regulate the succession to the Consulate, the presumptive heir to which is to be de-
signed in future, and publicly known. The third relates to the revision ( refonte ) of the constitution, which is to remain on the same basis, but with some modifications, in themselves of considerable moment. It is said, for example, that the Legislative Body is not to be renewed by one fifth every year; it is only to undergo an operation, as it is styled, in the month of Vendemaire, after which the members are to sit during the term for which they are chosen.
In other words, sixty members, not pleasing to Government, are to be removed, and replaced by others of a more compliant class after which it is presumed, the business of the state may proceed with sufficient tranquility, and without these frequent interruptions. The object of the fourth Senatus Consultum I have not been able exactly to ascertain,
"The above are facts which I was unwilling to mix with any speculation.—I shall only say, therefore, that the general belief here is, that Bonaparte wishes to fix the Consulate in his family, by naming his brother Joseph; and to employ his influence in procuring his election, to the exclusion of Moreau, the successor to the Consulate long since designated by the public voice. It is even said, that it was for the completion of this purpose that Joseph Bonaparte was withheld from accepting the Embassy to England, which it is now supposed will devolve to Berthier! With respect to the refonte of the Constitution, I transmitted you at least a month since detailed account of the changes which are proposed. The principal are, the appointment of Buonaparte as President for life, of the two Consuls as Chairmen of the Senate and Legislative body, and of Lucien Bonaparte to the Tribunate, and all equally for life. The other changes of moment have been in a great degree executed by the carrying the Concordat into effect.
"By the way; The Clergy here are not at all pleased with the clause adroitly slipped by the first Consul into the treaty with the Pope, and by which all the pious bequests in favor of the church and clergy are to be vested in the State annuities. The oath which they have taken "to disclose all plots, &c." renders them the mere agents of Government, and by this clause the fortunes of the clergy will always be at the mercy of Government. This will be a lever sufficiently powerful at all times to counterbalance the Clerical influence. All manufactures here are at a stand, and have not as yet experienced the smallest effect from the peace.
A meeting of the subscribers to the Brumalau Parties is requested at Gasby's tavern this evening at half past 7 o'clock, for the purpose of choosing managers.

COTTON PLANTATIONS, On the Sea Coast of Virginia.
THE subscriber wishing very much to see an establishment of this kind introduced into our state; and being convinced that should the same succeed, a considerable source of industry and wealth would arise therefrom: offers to the consideration of any person or persons the following circumstances:
It has been the opinion of Southern gentlemen with whom the subscriber has conversed on this subject, that there could be no doubt of the success of such an undertaking, if properly conducted, and that at any rate it was worth the experiment. To an enterprizing character, a field is here opened, by which, should success attend, a vast source of wealth may accrue. The more southern parts of this continent have experienced the benefits arising from the culture of cotton in the most eminent degree. When we consider how small a portion of our state from climate and situation is capable of being converted into improvements of this kind, and that should this small part which can alone possess the advantage become successful in the experiment, the result must be obvious to all.
Smith's Island lies in the Atlantic Ocean, immediately off Cape Charles, is about 37 degrees 15 m. of latitude, and contains about 4000 acres, a considerable part cleared.
The Island of Mocon lies immediately adjacent, and contains about 2000 acres, the most part cleared.
The soil on Smith's Island is finely productive, the climate so mild as to vegetate at all times, and support a great flock without any other food than the natural grass.
With respect to Smith's Island, some restrictions would be made concerning the stock, game, &c. the other would be let unconditionally. The advantages arising from fisheries at these places might be made very considerable. Salt works were formerly carried on likewise, but whether an object at this time, must be determined by the best acquainted.
Proposals may be addressed to me in Alexandria, to the care of Washington Crain, Esq. and shall be attended to.—Having a considerable quantity of the Georgia Sea Island or Black Seed Cotton in my possession, any person who might incline to make the experiment may be accommodated with the same—it was imported direct from the southward.
I cannot close my observations respecting this property, without remarking that it has long been subject to the depredations of evil minded persons. It has always been the desire, intention and orders of the subscriber, that the shipwrecked sailor receive on Smith's Island, every protection, comfort and assistance it is capable of affording; but the same disposition which will alleviate the distresses of the unfortunate, will punish the vices of the wicked.

The other half may be purchased.
Three Eighths of about eleven hundred acres of LAND, in Berkley county, adjoining the lands of the United States, at Keep Tryce Furnace and Harper's Ferry—more than half of it is in wood, and the remainder good farming land. The other five-eighths may also be purchased.

A large and handsome Brick DWELLING HOUSE, 50 by 40 feet, with a brick Stable, Smoke House, and Well of excellent water—The Garden and Yard paled in—The House is not quite finished. It will be sold either in its present state, or finished as may suit the purchaser.
