MR. THOMAS PAINE
Has announced the memorable and important intelligence of his arrival in this country, in a first letter to the people of America. The piece is distinguished by that boldness, promptitude and impetuosity of stile, which often mark the compositions of this writer. Having praised the stile, our encomium is at an end. Three fourths of the letter are taken up with Mr. Paine himself. The conqueror of Italy, of Germany, and of Egypt, when dictating his orders to the pirate of Algiers, does not speak with one tenth part of the self-consequence, that is here assumed by the hireling, or the volunteer of Thomas Jefferson. His name, for whatever reason, is held in general detestation. Yet this man addresses the people of America with the haughtiness of an offended divinity, thundering vengeance & destruction thro' the battles of Homer. We consider the whole performance as more than half an insult upon the country. When Cicero rung through all the charges of egotism as to Cataline's conspiracy, when Demosthenes, in a court of justice, boasted of the greatness of his public services, each orator was extremely careful to flatter the feelings of his audience. Cicero is always reminding the Romans that they are the masters of mankind; and the Greek assures his countrymen, that amidst all their follies, and all their disgraces, they are the most eloquent, the most generous, and the bravest people upon earth. They praise themselves, to be sure, in the highest terms. But their audience had been artfully prepared for the endurance of this praise. Overwhelmed by a luminous burst of thought, the mind bends under the grasp of their eloquence; while veneration and gratitude for the artist forbid us to question the justice of the likeness.
But, in Mr. Paine, we find nothing of all this. When he is to speak about himself, he always falls below himself. The boaster neither glides upon your confidence with the sweetness of Cicero, nor storms your conviction with the grandeur of Demosthenes. It is the grossest and most vulgar vanity, stripping itself naked, and strutting on tip-toe round a stage of its own erection. Mr. Paine affects to despise newspapers; and, as an avenue to public notice, he has chosen one of the most despicable. He says that his arrival has alarmed the federalists. It has at least alarmed and disgusted an immense number of republicans. I shall examine the facts and principles that Mr. Paine has asserted and assumed. As for his biography, and "his horse button." I wish to have no concern with the one or the other.
I pass over a long ranting extract of a former letter, that Mr. Paine gives us, & which contains nothing but noise. For thirteen years, he had suspected that "the principles of the revolution were expiring on the soil that produced them." "I now," says he, "know from the information I obtain upon the spot, that the impressions that then distressed me, for I was proud of America, were but too well founded. She was turning her back on her own glory, and making hasty strides in the retrograde path of oblivion. But a spark from the Altar of SEVENTY-SIX, unextinguished and unextinguishable through that long night of error, is again lighting up, in every part of the union, the genuine flame of rational liberty."
When Mr. Paine wrote this letter, he had scarcely been ten days in the country. He had been surrounded by the president and other leaders of that party.* They had told him whatever they thought proper. But Mr. Paine might have known that, after fifteen years of absence from America, he could not, in ten days, become master of her intervening history. The fluency of his assertions may excite a suspicion that he is credulous and precipitate. If the principles of freedom are of so brittle a nature, or so worthless a frame, if they are so apt to turn their back on their own glory, and to fall dead of an apoplexy, this, of itself, would present an invincible objection against all future revolutions. "Their retrograde path of oblivion" is a phrase without meaning.—America may be enslaved or disgraced;
* On the news of his landing at Baltimore, Mr. Dawson went express to conduct him to Washington. Upon his arrival there, he was immediately awaited upon by the president's private secretary.
but she cannot be forgotten. During this period of turning her back, America received an addition of two millions of people. Her commerce, her tonnage, and her wealth, multiplied with a rapidity that the world had never seen before. It was during this period of turning back that Philadelphia, after losing fifteen thousand lives by the pestilence, doubled her population; and that Baltimore, from a dirty village, became a wealthy, populous, and well built city. It was in this path of oblivion that fifty thousand families cut their way through the bosom of the forest and the bottom of the marsh, and peopled the savage solitudes of the Ohio, and the Mississippi.
As for the spark that is again lighting up, it will be hard to prove that the present governing faction are better men than their predecessors. More of this, by and bye. But, setting aside the federal government, there has been a long night of error, and it still continues, in some of the state governments. For example, the assembly of Pennsylvania spend one half of their time in debating whether they should adjourn?† Their sessions are notoriously prolonged that the members may get three dollars per day for attendance. The patrimony of the Penn family, that rich and noble inheritance, has been torn from the community, by some of those very men that were appointed to preserve it.† Some years ago, a prisoner was devoured alive by rats, in the jail of Philadelphia, and not a word was said of it to the jailor. A mayor of Philadelphia breaks up two private letters from a British ambassador; and a republican governor sends them to the press!‡ A republican printer breaks into the treasury office in the dead of night, steals the books, publishes garbled extracts from them and instead of being sent to sawdust , he is admired as a hero, and invited to dine with a federal president! All these matters and millions more of the same sort, seem to prove that, although Mr. Paine has been three weeks in America, the long night of error is not yet at an end. As for the genuine flame of rational liberty, the Alien and Sedition acts expired of themselves. There is no reason for thinking that either Jefferson, or the other heads of that party disapproved of the principle of the Sedition act. It was the particular exercise of the law, which they did not like. The patrons of a house-breaker cannot be suspected of scruples, or principles, of any kind. Rational liberty stands just where it was five years ago. Mr. Paine proceeds thus:
"As the French revolution advanced, it fixed the attention of the world, and drew from the pensioned pen of Edmund Burke a furious attack. This brought me once more on the public theatre of politics, and occasioned the pamphlet, RIGHTS OF MAN. It had the greatest run of any work ever published in the English language. The number of copies circulated in England, Scotland, and Ireland, besides translations into foreign languages, were [Mr. Paine meant was ] between four and five hundred thousand."
"The principles of that work were the same as those in Common Sense , and the effect would have been the same in England, as it had been in America could the vote of the nation have been quietly taken, or had equal opportunities of consulting or acting existed."
With all its energy and acuteness, Rights of Man contains much false reasoning. One of Mr. Paine's favorite topics is the ridicule of hereditary right. But somethings that seem absurd in theory are often very useful in practice. Of the small portion of repose that Europe hath ever enjoyed, a great part may be traced to this same foolish doctrine of hereditary right. It has, upon the whole, produced much more good than harm. Of all forms of government, an elective monarchy is perhaps the most wretched. Witness Portland, Persia, and the dynasties of Indostan!§ The French reformers discovered, some years ago,
* I heard them told this to their faces, by Mr. Robert Waln, who has since sat in Congress, for Philadelphia.
† This, I have had from several members of the legislature. The matter is no secret.
‡ Vid. Duane's letter in the last week's Recorder.
§ I refer in particular to the history of Aurengzebe's successors.
that it was very wrong for a man and his wife to live together, after they had become tired of each other. There cannot be a more beautiful theory. It was reduced to practice; and France, already sufficiently fertile of prostitution, was immediately filled with strumpets, cuckolds, bastards and divorces. Mr. Paine, with great triumph, enumerates the number of civil wars that have been produced in England by hereditary right. Very true! But if you must have a king, the chance is that there would have been almost a perpetual civil war, if that king was to be chosen by the people. Laugh as much as you please at the conceit of a nation's being transferred like a herd of cattle. But if a king is to be had, let him, by all means, be hereditary. Nothing can be more false or more shallow than the ridicule which has, in this instance, been attempted by Mr. Paine.
The other leg upon which Rights of Man may be said to stand is equal representation. Upon this subject Mr. Paine did most completely exasperate the British. As a political gladiator, his merit is of the highest kind. He knows, beyond most men, both when and where to strike. He deals his blows with force, coolness and dexterity. But in the present case, the whole right of his authority is turned against himself. The federal government has not a hereditary king, nor a house of peers. The representation is about as equal as it can be; and yet, Mr. Paine tells us that the principles of liberty were expiring. We have neither a king nor peers, nor rotten boroughs. How then could these principles be upon their death bed and continue so for thirteen years? In England, Mr. Paine held up America as the pinnacle of perfection, and he gives, as a reason for it, the republican form of her government. But, when he comes to this country, the fairy scene vanquishes; and republicans are found to be just as corruptable as the rest of mankind. Equal representation is in itself, a most valuable and excellent thing, and so is pure spring water. But the one will no more secure a government from corruption than the other will give to him who drinks it immortal life. The evidence of Mr. Paine himself, as advanced in this letter proves that a considerable part of Rights of Man was a piece of gross deception. Nor is there any thing in the peculiar form of the federal government that makes it more liable than others to abuses. We have constitutions of all kinds. That of Virginia is as democratical as any body can wish it to be. Yet a great part of its revenues have been wasted in the most foolish manner imaginable. Laws have past or have been suffered to exist, that are perfectly destructive to the welfare of the country. If two hundred years ago the British house of commons had authorized a debtor to shoot the sheriff that attempted to arrest him; if, when a man's servant is hanged for crime, they had burdened the public with the purchase of another; if they had saddled merchants and storekeepers with an enormous tax to pay for building an armory that was worse than useless; in a word, if parliament had framed a system of laws for protecting the property of a fraudulent bankrupt, they would only have done, what has been done since by the assembly of Virginia. They would have buried the axe in the root of manufactures; and this the rotten borough parliaments did not do. They never past any law so like bedlam, by ten thousand degrees, as Madison's scheme of emancipation, or his gift to Congress of the North Western territory.
Pennsylvania has a constitution greatly different from that of Virginia; and, fourteen years ago, she had another constitution quite as different from both of these. Under each of them, corruptions multiplied; because, from the very nature of the thing, perfection is impossible. The result must be that Mr. Paine's Rights of Man contains a vast number of false positions. The example of the long parliament, as well as of the French revolution, might have taught Mr. Paine that an alteration of government is, at all times, a very hazardous experiment; and that if the people of England could believe all the stuff which he told them about the matchless purity of republics, they were too ignorant of human nature to be fit for making a constitution.
These remarks are not pointed against the worth and excellence, of an equal representation. They only serve to shew that Mr. Paine deceived the people of England by over-rating it. We must not
cast away a watch, because it does not tell us the longitude. We must not neglect an equality of representation, because legislators are often factious, ignorant, or corrupted. Under such a system, we may commonly say, with Candidus, "all things are not so well here as in Eldorado; but yet they are pretty well."
"Mr. Paine says that "if the vote of the nation could have been quietly taken," &c. He must be perfectly conscious, that there was not the smallest chance for it. In a country, where ten thousand people travel fifty miles to see a boxing match, where a Westminster election has been decided by bludgeons, and cutlasses, it is a burlesque upon common sense to think of such a thing. I, for one, have lived long enough to become sick of revolutions. I sincerely wish that the health and the power of Bonaparte, his wisdom and his good fortune, may be prolonged for fifty years to come. Imperfect and blundering, as our federal constitution is, I would rather go back for a second nine months to my jailor and bene-factors, Mr. Rose, than be the witness of a serious endeavour to subvert it. In pulling out a rotten tooth it is possible to break the jaw bone.
In France, there could be no change for the worse; and it is long since the condition of the people has become infinitely better. In England, there might have been a change for the worse. The experience of nine years in America has convinced or reminded me that a mere equality of representation is not a certain remedy for all sorts of political evils, and that the removal of one despot may be succeeded by the rise of another. Mr. Paine has called our attention to his Rights of Man . These remarks are designed to cool the ardour of enthusiasm. Hitherto we find nothing in Mr. Paine's first letter, that seems either worth the odium, or the parade of his importation. The theory of his Rights of Man stands in direct opposition to his picture of the United States. If equal representation cannot secure us here, there is much less reason for thinking that it could have secured the liberty of England.
"But in the midst of the freedom we enjoy [says Mr. Paine] the licentiousness of the papers called federal (and I know not why they are called so, for they are in their principles anti-federal and despotic) are a dishonor to the character of the country, and an injury to its reputation and importance abroad. They represent the whole people of America as destitute of public principle and private manners. As to any injury they can do at home to those whom they abuse, or service they can render to those who employ them, it is to be set down to the account of noisy nothingness. It is on themselves the disgrace recoils; for the reflection easily presents itself to every thinking mind, that those who abuse liberty when they possess it, would abuse power could they obtain it; and therefore they may as well take [as] a general motto for all such papers, WE AND OUR PATRONS, ARE NOT FIT TO BE TRUSTED WITH POWER."
Mr. Paine is one of the last men upon earth, who are entitled to complain of the licentiousness of the press. No writer has ever taken greater freedom than himself with popular opinions, and with venerated names. The republican prints are quite as licentious as the federal. They are quite as much "a dishonour to the character of the country." Mr. Paine discovers the deepest ignorance in affirming that such papers can be of no service to their party, that they must be set down to the account of noisy nothingness. The two last words exactly describe the remainder of this paragraph. The next contains the principal effort in the whole letter. In every sentence, Mr. Paine discovers the poverty of his information, the badness of his memory, or his want of temper. He makes assertions, that every man must know to be false. Take notice!

From CALCUTTA. To capt. Allen, of the Connecticut, arrived yesterday, we are indebted for a file of the Calcutta Government Gazette to the 19th of July. They contain but little news. The following are the only articles worthy of notice.
July 5.—On Thursday arrived at Diamond Harbor, the American ship Citizen, Blakeman, from Teneriffe, which she left on the 11th April.
On Tuesday anchored off Calcutta, the American ship Bonnetta, capt. Benjamin Lander, from Madras.
We are much concerned to state, that accounts were received in town last week, of capt. Young, late of the vessel called the Onroost, having been murdered by a Seacunnie on the passage from Melacca to Madras, whither she was bound. It appears, that the vessel having a considerable quantity of treasure on board, induced the perpetration of this atrocious act, the Seacunnie hoping to possess himself of it, and carry the vessel to Pegu where he expected to escape with impunity. Dubious, however, of being able to conduct her thither, the life of the officer was spared, that he might navigate her to the desired port, which under pretence of doing, he directed her course to the Coromandel Coast, and fortunately reached Vizagapatam, where the murderer was secured, and, no doubt, will meet with the punishment due to his crime.
A letter from Pinang, dated 8th June, says, "The early setting in of the S. W. Monsoon, has been attended with such severe weather, as hardly ever before experienced, in consequence of which several vessels have been obliged to put into this port, after receiving considerable damage. The gales have extended with equal force, more than 20 degrees along the bay.
July 12.—The Hon. Company's cruiser Mornington, with Lieut. Col. Symes, and suit on board, had arrived at Rangoon, all well, and was most handsomely received by the Burmah government.
July 19.—We have the pleasure to announce the safe arrival of the East India Company's ships Lady Burges, and Baring, from England and Madras. We understand that a considerable quantity of specie has been imported in the Lady Burges, both on account of government and individuals. Whilst the above ships were at Madras, his Majesty's sloop Victor, Captain Collier, arrived there from Suez, after a month's passage, having on board Major General Baird and suite, who it is said, are coming on to Bengal in the Victor.
The markets for opium and piece goods still continue very favorable; the former article was selling at 300 dollars per chest at Batavia, and at 600 dollars per chest on the West Coast.
Previous to the departure of the Walder, a prow had arrived at Bencoolen from the Pogy Islands, with an account of a white woman, having been seen on shore on one of them.
The America and Rose, two American ships, were on the West Coast when the
Waller failed. The former of these, it is reported, had purchased a very large quantity of pepper at the rate of 11 dollars per pecul.
On Wednesday last, was launched from the yard of Mr. Stephen Teague, a most beautiful ship, of about 460 tons measurement. She was named the Sir Andrew Snape Hammond, in compliment to the present worthy comptroller of the Navy Board.

MELANCHOLY COMPARISONS.
UNDER the former administration, prosperity was the order of the day. Arts & sciences flourished, our commerce extended as far as navigation had been carried; our manufactures increased beyond the calculations of the most sanguine, and above all our national credit was on a footing unequalled by any other nation on earth; our foreign agents were regarded with high respect, and our navy commanded even the attention of the first and most powerful naval countries. How are we debased; to what a degrading situation are we reduced; our commerce cramped every where, and in many places totally restricted. Manufactures totally at a stand in comparison to past times, and our public credit, owing to the breach of national faith in repealing taxes, the proceeds of which were solemnly pledged for the payment of certain loans, annihilated. Our foreign agents are, by those governments whom we have favoured most, treated with disrespect bordering on contempt.—To Great-Britain, France, Portugal and Holland, we have ministers; from neither Great-Britain, France or Portugal have we a return; a charge des affaires is the only agents from these powerful nations. Most of our navy rotting in the Potomac, and the residue half manned and equipped cruising against a few barbarian gun-boats, unable either to undertake an enterprize or protect our trade. To what are we to attribute this great, this disgraceful change? 'Tis to an opinion held forth by those who hold the reigns of government, that a full treasury, a well equipped, tho' small navy will in time compel us as a matter of course, to become quarrelsome with our neighbours, tempt us to disregard first principles , &c. &c. Had the King of Great-Britain, or the King of Spain used such language it might have been proper; it is their duty to use all means in their power to prevent and counteract the rising greatness of a people situated between them; a people jealous of their rights, and who would, four years ago, in spite of philosophy, have regarded the breach of treaties and the encroachments of either nation sufficient causes to make at least an effort to enforce the one and repel the other; but alas! that day is gone; we boldly stepped forward when British depredations called for resistance, we even set the hostile legions of France at defiance, and dared her navy, though twenty times our strength, to combat.—Yet the ***** government of Spain imprisons our citizens, shuts up our ports, and forbids a free trade, secured by the most solemn treaties; all this they have done, and what may not more powerful nations do? If Spain can without hesitation, set aside treaties and disregard commercial regulations, what have we to expect from Great-Britain & France? What are we to expect even from the savages on our frontiers, when they know it is agreeable to first principles , that we should be unprepared for defence, least we should thereby offend? Will we not soon be told that the sacred right of voting ought not to be exercised, because we run the risk of choosing improper men to office? Certainly the comparison holds good, and 'tis a melancholy one indeed. In the six & twentieth year of our independence the American people are told, by those clothed with a little "brief authority," that they are
unworthy of trust; it is what would not have been borne in their feeblest state; less than that induced them to assume a national consequence; a consequence which insured their independence. Yet the day has arisen when Americans are unworthy of themselves; when the voice of calumny reaches even the mansions of the dead, and the ashes of America's political saviour are disturbed by the brutal hands of an outcast, and tamely submitted to.
A VIRGINIAN.  (To be continued)
We understand that there is good reason to consider the late measures of the Intendant at New Orleans as having originated entirely with himself, and as being, of consequence, unauthorised by the Spanish government.
Among many circumstances indicative of this, are the decided opposition of the Governor to the measures of the Intendant, and the determination of the commercial tribunal not to carry his decree into effect.
From the steps, no doubt taken by our government, a rational expectation may be entertained that the decree will be revoked before it can have operated extensively to the injury of our trade on the Mississippi, as of the vast amount of produce floated down that river, no article of considerable value, besides cotton, is deposited at New Orleans till February; and as that article not being perishable, will experience but small injury from a temporary detention at the Natchez.

Extract of a letter, dated Port Republican, 1st of November.
Death and destruction threaten us even within those fortified walls; in short every town, village, &c. from the Cape to this place has become the prey of the brigands and the flames—we maintain, yet a few posts at Mirchabal, Grand Bois and Cuf de Sac: But from all appearances they will soon be wrested from us, and France will have nothing left in this devoted island but the Cape, Port Republican and the Mole, as the South, hitherto so quiet, exhibits already the dreadful symptoms of approaching revolution.
A report having got into circulation, that a French army had actually taken possession of Orleans, we can state in contradiction, on the authority of a gentleman late from Natchez, that no army has arrived; that Major Fulton (formerly known in this country, and now in the French service) had arrived at Natchez, and stated that the French would take possession of the colony shortly; and that the Spanish commandant at New Orleans had received official notice from his court of the cession, and intended change.
[Kentucky paper.]
It is a singular fact that Tom Paine's third letter has extorted from some of the rankest democratic editors, the exterior of censure. We deem it nothing more than the shadow. We have substantial reasons for suspecting their sincerity on this as on most occasions. If these men had always evinced a tenderness for the reputation of Washington, while living, we should not have been surprised at their resenting an outrage on his memory, now he is no more. There must be some cause, other than that which is apparent, for this sudden devotion to his character. What that cause is, a moments reflection will suggest to every mind.
That the memory of Washington is dear to America is unquestionable. Notwithstanding the uprightness of his conduct during a long life of service, like other mortals, he was not exempt from the attacks of envy and malice. While living there were wretches who hated him for his greatness. These even now take delight in persecuting his memory. Among them no one has been more conspicuous, more impudent and outrageous in their attacks (shall we except Jasper Dwight?) than Thomas Paine. His enmity to Washington has never been concealed. It is co-extensive with his name, and indeed forms a prominent feature of his political notoriety. Of this circumstance, so well known to the world, Mr. Jefferson could not be ignorant, when he so cordially pressed him to return to this country, and so lavishly poured out encomiums on him. It will not, therefore, be a strained construction, from these premises to infer, that Mr. J. coinciding in sentiment on this subject with his correspondent, solicited his presence for the laudable purpose of DEMOLISHING THE POSTHUMOUS FAME OF WASHINGTON!!!
But at the same time that this daring
idea was conceived, Mr. J. must have been conscious, that to avow it would be fatal to his own popularity. To adjust this point must have been a matter of great moment and equal delicacy. As long as the American people behold Paine caressed and fondled in the bosom of the executive, and at the same time vomiting forth libels on Washington, the irresistible impression will be, that Paine and the executive are associated in the iniquitous work. If Mr. Jefferson is willing to incur this imputation, he will persevere in his present course.  [Philad. Gaz.]
AN EXTRACT.
"When Athens was subdued by Lysander, he appointed thirty men for the administration of that city, who immediately fell into the rankest tyranny; but this was not all; for conceiving their power not founded on a basis large enough, they admitted three thousand into a share of their government; and thus fortified, became the cruellest tyranny upon record. They murdered in cold blood great numbers of the best men without any provocation, from the mere lust of cruelty, like Nero or Caligula. This was such a number of tyrants together, as amounted to near a third part of the whole city; for Xenophon tells us, that the city contained about ten thousand houses; and allowing one man to every house, who could have any share in the government (the rest consisting of women, children and servants) & making other obvious abatement, these tyrants, if they had been careful to adhere together, might have been a majority even of the people collectively."
Some people, who are rather too good to live in this world fancy that Jacobins will get everything into their clutches, and then let everything slip out of their fingers again, merely to shew their power in the first instance and their generosity in the second. They seem to think that the wolf pursues and hugs the sheep only to warm in the embrace of his wool. They suppose the captor is no pirate, and will let go his prize only on taking salvage. Others, less credulous, view these matters in a very different light. In a few months we shall know better that we do at present. We shall see how "liberty" will be ransomed out of the hands of the opulent."

NOTICE. THE SUBSCRIBERS and MEMBERS of the MUTUAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY against FIRE on BUILDINGS in the state of Virginia, are hereby requested to attend their annual General Meeting, to be held at the Capitol in the city of Richmond, on Monday the third of January next. Those who do not attend in person or by proxy, will be represented by the members of the state legislature, representing their respective counties or districts. W. F. AST, Principal Agent M. A. S. Richmond, Nov. 17th, 1802.
WITH great satisfaction I can inform the public at large and the members of this necessary, useful and philanthropic society in particular, that it is in a flourishing situation; it increases rapidly. Since the first of January last it has augmented for upwards of fourteen hundred thousand dollars; so that there are actually declared for, five millions four hundred and forty-five thousand dollars in real property; for by insuring houses they become real property, which otherwise they are not. The losses paid during this year amount to 1002 dollars, 25 cents; then when the loss is divided among the aforesaid sum, each hundred dollars has only to contribute one and three quarter cents; and if the enormous loss of one hundred thousand dollars was to happen, which never has been the case yet, it will only be eleven shillings for each hundred dollars. Who would not contribute that to aid so many unfortunate fellow-citizens to rebuild their houses? And the more so, when by that contribution, they insure at the same time their own property. As the insurance increases so fast we come daily nigher to that desirable end of a General Insurance; when as we have I believe upwards of four hundred thousand houses in this state, the contribution if general would hardly be more than ten cents for each house per annum; when, for each house ten cents are contributed, it would in the state raise a sum from forty to fifty thousand dollars, which will pay on an average for about one hundred houses. It is well known that never so many burn every year; I believe they do not average thirty houses per annum. As the state legislature meets on the 6th of next month, those who wish to pay their premiums may have a good opportunity to send their money to the Cashier General, to whom the money must be paid and no body else. W. F. AST.

Printing in all its variety, executed at this office with neatness and dispatch.
The Executors of the late Gen. Geo. Washington, offer for sale, the following TRACTS OF LAND, viz. A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 309 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Washington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburg and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac.
One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Ashby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Plaster of Paris, well watered by several never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives.
One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equally favorable to Plaster of Paris.
A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One also, Head of Evans's Mill, containing 453 acres, and one on Wormley's line, containing 183 acres. These several tracts are in Jefferson (late Berkeley county)—the soil very similar in quality, and particularly adapted to the culture of Tobacco, Hemp, Wheat and Indian Corn, situated twelve miles from Harper's Ferry.
One tract containing 571 acres in Frederick county, this land is in the vicinity of the last mentioned tracts and equally valuable. One tract in Hampshire county containing 240 acres—this tract, tho' small is extremely valuable. It lies on Potomac river, about 12 miles above the town of Bath (or Warm Springs) and is in the shape of a horse-shoe, the river running almost round it; two hundred acres of it are rich low grounds, with a great abundance of the largest Walnut and other trees, which with the produce of the soil, might (by means of the improved navigation of the Potomac) be brought to a shipping port with more ease and at a smaller expense, than that which is transported only 30 miles by land.
One third part of 1119 acres in Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and on Nansemond river—this land is considered extremely valuable by those who are acquainted with it.
One tract in Charles county, Maryland, containing 600 acres—it is very level and lies near the river Potomac.
One tract in Montgomery county, Maryland, containing 519 acres—This land lies about 30 miles above the City of Washington, not far from Keokuk and is good farming land.
One tract in Pennsylvania, containing 234 acres—This land affords an exceeding good stand on Braddock's road from Fort Cumberland to Pittsburg, and a large quantity of natural meadow fit for the scythe. It is distinguished by the appellation of the Great Meadows, where the first action with the French, in the year 1754, was fought.
One other tract on the Mohawk river, State of New-York, containing 1000 acres.
In North West Territory. Three tracts lying on Little Miami, containing 3051 acres.
In Kentucky. On Rough Creek, one tract containing 3000 acres; ditto adjoining 2000 acres. Indisputable titles can be given for the above lands. Lots in the City of Washington.
Two improved lots near the Capitol square 634. The improvements are, on each an elegant three story brick house.
Four other unimproved lots on the Eastern Branch, No. 5, 12, 13 and 14, in square 667. These lots are advantageously situated on the water.
ALEXANDRIA. A few valuable lots in Alexandria, corner of Pitt and Prince-streets, three or four of which are let on ground rent at 3 dollars per foot.
WINCHESTER. One lot in Town of half an acre, adjoining Doctor Makay's, enclosed with a good post and rail fence, and ano-
ther in the commons of about six acres. Bath, or Warm Springs. Two well situated lots, on one of them has small building large enough to accommodate one family. The terms of sale will be made known by application to either of the subscribers. SAMUEL WASHINGTON, Culpepper county. GEORGE S. WASHINGTON, Jefferson, do. WILLIAM A. WASHINGTON, Winchester, do.

Valuable Property for Sale, At the little Falls of Potomac About three miles from George-Town and the City of Washington, and ten from Alexandria.
172 acres of Land, upon which are a dwelling house and sundry other improvements, several stone quarries and fish stands, and two vacant mill seats.
Two undivided third parts of 7 acres of Land, upon which are a merchant mill, with three pair of French burr mill stones and every necessary complete, for manufacturing flour to the best advantage, and with as little manual labor as possible; a brewery and distillery, a granary, a miller's house, a brewer's house, cooper's shop, &c. and a vacant mill seat.
Two undivided third parts of 200 acres of land, adjoining the 7 acres and 172 acres above mentioned, upon which here are several stone quarries and fish stands.
The purchaser of the above property, will have an assignment of a lease for the other undivided third part, of which there will be 6 years to come from the first day of September next.
The stone on the above lands is equal in goodness to any, and superior to most foundation stone on the river—vessels of any burthen that can go to George-Town, can go up to the mill and stone quarries.
Any person or persons, who may incline to purchase, will of course view the premises, therefore it is not thought necessary to be more particular.
For terms apply to Gen. Uriah Forrest, at George-Town, or to PHILIP R. FENDALL, Alexandria.
