FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.—We
perfectly agree with the Aurora and the Enquirer, that this election is of vast importance as it concerns the state of Pennsylvania, but of more, as it concerns the Union at large. We consider it as the commencement of a total change of the political aspect of the United States; as a pledge that federal principles will again be triumphant over democracy & jacobinism; as the harbinger of the union of all upright characters in design and effort.
A year since the federalists were generally in a state of despondency. They had seen the constitution violated in the repealing judiciary act, and the necessary independence of the judges destroyed: they had seen the internal taxes abolished; they had seen the president appointing to some of the first offices, men not only devoid of respectability or honor, merit or talents, but many of them with no trait of recommendation to his favor, except their knavish conduct and bawling exertions to secure his election: they had seen men of virtue, fidelity and capacity, and many of them men who had spilt their blood in defence of their country, ejected from office and left to dig or beg in the decline of a well-spent life: they had seen a scoundrel printer favored with immense patronage, and suffered to wrong the government, apparently for the purpose of rewarding him for his falsehoods and his villainies; they had seen an amiable and worth post-master-general compelled to resign, apparently for his refusal to conduct dishonorably in office; and they had seen an instrument of executive vengeance put in his place to execute the commands of party rage: they had seen monies exorbitantly and unnecessary squandered on undeserving favorites, and withheld from merit: they had seen the executive wantonly violating the principles and hollow promises of his inaugural speech; they had seen an injudicious and unnecessary alteration of the constitution for the purpose of securing the re-election of Mr. Jefferson: they had seen the number of worthy and exalted characters in congress exceedingly reduced, and their places supplied by base and ignorant tools: they had seen in the government a general spirit of vindictive rage and persecution towards the fairest and best characters, merely from "unnecessary differences of opinion:" they had seen this spirit operating most injuriously in the councils and the legislature of the union: they had seen the insufficiency of virtuous efforts, and witnessed the triumph of deceit, dishonesty and dishonor; they had seen the axe of party malice and ignorance, upraised and ready to smite the neck of a grey headed, inflexible, just, able and meritorious judge, whose destruction was correctly viewed as only the first blow towards the intended demolition of the judiciary: they had seen at the head of the government a man of weak nerves, defective morals, and rotten political principles: they had seen an administration deficient in sagacity and energy, but abundant in cunning and deception: they had seen the monuments of federalism, of the labors of former administrations successively falling to the ground: they had seen the bawlers for liberty, but practisers of intolerance and immorality, promoted to office, and VIRTUE, and HONOR, and RELIGION, and MERIT, not so much in declaration as in practice generally DENOUNCED—Seeing these things, had not the federalists just reason to despond; to fear that 'the world's best hope' would prove its LAST?
In those states where democracy has greatly abounded, in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, &c. the federalists for several years past have been in a great measure dormant, waiting, rather with fearful forebodings, than hopeful expectations, for the correction of the public mind. They had seen how the arts and deceptions of unprincipled office hunters and ranting demagogues had in some cases misled, in others debauched the public mind. They well knew that among the instigators and leaders of the revolution of public sentiment, self interest was the stimulus. They well knew that as the loaves and fishes must be insufficient for filling, but a comparatively small number of the hungry maws, the divisions that must arise in the squabble for power and office might open the eyes of the uninterested deluded, to the impurity of the motives, by which the self-styled republicans were actuated, and to the baseness of the means which they adopted. They feared, however, that the "euphrasy and rue" might come too late to the "visual nerve" of the deluded, to save us from the destruction that yawned. In this expectation we hope and trust in God that they are disappointed.
It is our opinion that among the most violent leaders of democracy, lately the most influential, and still the most noisy, there has long been a determination totally to change the form of our government, in its most essential points to change it entirely. It was expected that popular clamor would aid the conspirators, and that the desired objects might be radically effected with little difficulty. Had the resolutions of Randolph, Nicholson and Breckenridge, the endeavor to remove the seat of government, the petition of the New England Mississippi land company, &c. been bro't on the tapis three or four years since, it is highly probable that the democrats would have been triumphant in each of their wishes. Their delay till the subsiding of the first unmanly fury and resentment of party victory, will occasion their defeat. Among the democratic members of congress, and among the democrats generally, there are men of understanding and reflection, who have been misled, but have since had time to consider without party heat, to weigh well the conduct of their leaders, and to discover the impropriety, the dishonesty and the destructive tendency of much of their conduct, and of many of their motives.
The federalists, conscious of the correctness of their views and their political deportment, have remained in general silent and sorrowful spectators of the baneful current of democracy and corruption, unable to divert or to impede it. The revolution in public sentiment, that has taken place, and is still fast taking place in different parts of the union, has not been occasioned by the effort or intrigue of the federalists, but by the operation of that fund of good sense in the great body of the people, which will generally take a right direction when unswayed by misrepresentations and prejudices.
It is true that the editorial labors of the federal editors, have not been without very considerable influence in maintaining the correctness of their principles, and exposing the profligacy, imbecility and evil tendency of the opinions and the measures of democracy: but the principal ground on which we build a belief of the return of wholesome times is, the opportunity and the disposition exhibited so generally to reflect, to pause to weigh well past measures; to examine the tendency of the present; to discover errors and to abjure them.
In Pennsylvania are the most combustible materials for a political conflagration. There have been already two insurrections in that state, and she is but now saved by the re-election of M c Kean, from the horrors of a high civil commotion, perhaps from ruinous confusion, and from bloodshed. What has occasioned the violent struggle they have experienced? The determination of Duane, Leib, and a few others, to get the power of government into their own administration, the emoluments and the honors of office.—On what grounds did they found their hopes of success? On the expectations, from the previous success of intrigue, misrepresentation, and working on the passions, and prejudices of the ignorant and the heedless many, that they should not be unsuccessful in again obtaining by the same means, the same end. Heaven be praised they have been disappointed: the great experiment of overturning constitutions, which was to precede the greater attempt on the constitution of the union has brought, confusion on its authors;—has given us strong confidence in the fruitlessness of Randolph's and Nicholson's endeavours hereafter, has indeed almost convinced us that the edge is taken from the sword of democracy, which however and by whosoever wielded, will hereafter do little harm except to them that hold it.
To be able to succeed in their endeavors to destroy the federal administrations, the democrats were necessitated to invent some good reasons; monarchy, aristocracy, the enmity of the federalists to liberty, to the rights of the people &c. were made the ostensible causes of opposition. To be able to effect a revolution in Pennsylvania, some pretences were requisite.
The governor whom they had before exalted as an epitome of every virtue that belongs to the sage, the hero and patriot, was represented as a tyrant &c. the senate was represented as useless or, at least an aristocratic & improper branch of the government; the independence of the judges was a great grievance to the people &c.—All however was unsuccessful. The federalists after not a little doubt and division respecting the consistency or utility of rendering assistance to the constitutionalists, finally resolved with great wisdom, consistency and usefulness, to turn out in support of their constitution, and for the security
of their rights and their property. Nor in this conduct of the federalists has there been the smallest inconsistency. Whatever dislike they may have formerly entertained towards the character of M c Kean, the firmness and general correctness of his conduct as governor for two or three years past had tended to lessen that dislike, and to create a considerable degree of confidence in his future conduct: besides they had only a choice of two characters, neither of whom were agreeable to them, and it was their duty in the hour of eminent danger, to forget former injuries, and render assistance in a moment, the affairs of which might most deleteriously or beneficially effect both themselves and their posterity.
In all governments, but more especially in a government like ours, names, parties, views and measures, are constantly changing. The strongest security for a continuance of our republican form of government, is the inviolability of the constitution. While a reverence for that continues, our unity and prosperity are next to certain. The constitution has its enemies, influential, indefatigable and persevering: but so great and so numerous are its friends that they have been obliged to proceed with caution.—Their attacks on it have been conducted with great care. They have succeeded in defacing; but not in irreparably injuring it. In the grand attacks now meditated we are convinced, since the Pennsylvania failure, the conspirators will be disappointed. Whether under the whole of the unimportant distinction of names, federalists, republicans, constitutionalists, &c. or under but one, Genuine federal constitutional and republican principles WILL PREVAIL.
We hope and trust so from various considerations: a confidence is given to our hopes from the following:
In every state where democracy has had absolute sway, the silence and impotency of the federalists have given the democrats time for reflection, and they have discovered that with regard to republicanism, the sound & not the substance was valued; that office and self interest, not the public good were the spurs of action, among the leaders.
The thoughtful and discreet among them have therefore become ready to extend their charity as willingly to federalists as to democrats. Such has been the state of affairs in Rhode Island; in their last elections, there has been in many cases an union of the considerate, which has produced the choice of federal members of the legislature, where long before they were democratic. In Vermont the moderate have obtained the ascendancy. Such men as Smith, Bradley, Elliot, &c. are not without their influence. Massachusetts has yet held fast, and we trust she will never quit her hold—New-Hampshire is undergoing the effects of taking democracy, a kind of phisic without which some states cannot be purged. Connecticut stands "like Teneriffe or Atlas unremoved." At the next election in New-York the federalists will probably support Gov. Lewis, and that constitutional federal principles and political deportment will gain the ascendancy.
All things are working together for good in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland: Maryland, however, contains much of the stubborn virulent poison of democracy, but antidotes are applied, Delaware needs no repentance. The Carolinas and Georgia have been several years overrun with the weeds of jacobinism: though they have some of the most inveterate demons they have also their Pierce Butlers, their Gaillards, &c. The western states are mostly democratic; they are however the tail of the fish & must follow the body of the other states. In the ancient dominion there are many violent Snyderites, whom passion, the love of office or the allurements of ambition make and continue such. There are however great and irreconcilable differences and animosities among those who have been called republicans. We believe that about one third of the white inhabitants of this state have continued firm federalists; we know that these compose the generality of most respectable characters. It is also our firm opinion that at this time more than half of those who have stiled themselves republicans, are men that if called on by any decisive question to give a deliberate important vote, would vote in the same manner as the federalists. We are sorry therefore when we see by some northern writers, Virginia, as a state, represented as ambitious of governing the union, and as inimical to the constitution. The cool reflecting democrats here detest as heartily the disorganizing conduct of some of their members of congress, as any of the federalists can. Virginia will yet come right.
The acquittal of the judges in Pennsylvania gave hope for the return of good principles there; and gave a considerable check to the violence of the idiotic and the mad.
Several of the late elections, in Vermont, Rhode Island, Philadelphia, Baltimore, &c. have given new countenance in the return of constitutional republicanism.
The democrats in congress are too much divided ever to unite on party grounds. The attempt last session to retrocede a part of the district of Columbia, opened the eyes of many of them to the real views of some of the party, viz: to remove the seat of government. The part taken on that occasion discovered an independence of behaviour gratifying to the true patriot.
The conduct of the Snyderites, particularly of John Randolph, in the Yazoo business, has been of the utmost service to federal republicanism. The correct and independent attitude assumed by several members of this state and by many of the other states convinces us that they will never again return to the slavery of party.
The acquittal of Judge Chase, in opposition to all that malice could invent or say, and all that party vengeance could effect; has filled every genuine republican, every lover of our constitution, with new and full hopes of its long life.
The refusal of the house to pay Judge Chase's witnesses, and the unanimous resentment discovered by the Senate for a piece of malice and injustice so pitifully meant, were not without their beneficial influence.
But the abominable resolutions of Randolph and Nicholson have betrayed the views and will damn the projects of some of the leaders of the party—Those resolutions have cemented an opposition among the northern republicans of all sorts: an opposition the weight of which by the Snyderites from this state and from other, will be most sensibly felt.
Such are our opinions of the Pennsylvania election, and of our present prospects.
We are led into these remarks from a perusal of the lamentation of the Enquirer of the 15th.
Mr. Ritchie says this election "touches the very principles of our government"—It does so, and we trust will tend to confirm them.
"Is it an altercation between federalists and republicans?"—No, it is an altercation between republicanism and democracy.
So far as gov. M c Kean has abused the powers entrusted to him by the the constitution, so far it may become a question how far it may be proper to abridge the constitutional powers of the executive." Tho' we can't find much grammar in this sentence, we can discover the meaning and the discovery of either is sometimes a gratification. But has M c Kean abused the powers entrusted to him? Doubtless he did, at the commencement of his career, by turning all the federalists from office. Reference however is not had to his, but to his refusal to sign certain laws made in opposition to the constitution which he had sworn to support. He appointed his son to an office for which, says the Enquirer, "no one but a father could have deemed him sufficiently qualified"—From what we have heard and we agine the Enquirer has been misinformed, by some Snyderite, as to his qualifications.
He is said to have called the legislature a parcel of geese and clodpoles. And this was too true not to be provoking. And what put the geese and clodpoles into the legislature? Why democracy to be sure.
Mr. Ritchie proceeds to give his reasons why Snyder ought to be preferred, and to discuss the propriety of altering their constitution. As we discover no weight in his remarks, it is needless to spend time in confuting him. There is one observation however which well applies to all democrats who have said so much about the majesty and sovereignty of the people. The people have in their majesty and sovereignty declared that a convention shall not be called, and that M c Kean shall continue governor. Now certainly according to their own doctrines, these friends of the people, even Dunn himself, ought to acquiesce, and hold their tongues.
The Enquirer quotes some of the dreams of the Aurora.
"A project has been devised, and some progress has been made in it—for a new organization of parties, the members of which were to be embraced by a geographical line—the election of Thomas M c Kean like the election of general Gunn for the consummation of the Yazoo, was to be the signal of hope; the election of Simon Snyder was to indicate the hopelessness of forming this line so as to comprehend Pennsylvania."
All this we consider as mere conjecture, quite without foundation in truth. If such union takes place, it will be, not "an unnatural union," but the natural union of worthy characters, throughout all the states.
After Mr. Ritchie's long discussion of this lamentable election, he thus very gravely expresses

his dreadful forebodings of what may possibly hap- pen. Should M c Kean be elected this most serious misfortune threatens to assail us. Whatever may be the predictions of the wise or the hopes of the worthy, there is some probability of a divi- sion among the present members of the republican party. The words "some probability," attended with so much solemnity, have affected our risibility too much to proceed: We quit, as we hope you will, reader, with something in the sleeve— smiling.
From the AURORA.
From the latest advices the long menac- ed invasion of England appears to have been superceded by the necessary prepara- tions for a continental war, which never- theless appears not so probable in the course of the present year, as in the suc- ceeding spring.
The marches of the Russian army in one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight to the frontier of the seat of war, were not accomplished in less than four months— and the campaign of Italy did not open until April one thousand seven hundred & nine- ty-nine. No advices of the march of the Russians had been received in England or France in the early part of September last; and scarcely two months were then left for any adequate military movement on the part of an invading army, which must be presumed to carry its baggage, and train of artillery.
The tardiness of their operations would induce an opinion that the armies were marshalled to negotiate rather than to fight and that in the intermediate time of prepa- rations, measures may be on the tapis for a restoration of peace, upon some new prin- ciples of partition or plunder—in which as a preceding wars, the allies of the chief belligerents may pay the price of pacificati- on.
Russia may now obtain a footing in the Boreas, by which she may approximate the magnificent projects of Catherine II. on the Turkish empire, she obtain Malta; and the republic of the seven isles, already pos- sessing but a nominal existence as an inde- pendent state, may be added to those vast and dispersed acquisitions of Russia, which form so strong an evidence of her ambition so weak an argument in the French case of replication to Novoziltzoff. The Russian monarch may make it a matter of grace to cede to Prussia her right and title to Hanover and their other territories in Germany already in the possession of the French armies.
Austria on the other hand may be sooth- ed with new acquisitions on the Turkish frontier, and may perhaps be so far favored as to round off her dominion by the addi- tion of Albania, Turkish Dalmatia, and Serria, and the countries which fill up the space between the Adriatic and the Danube, by which acquisition Hungary would no longer form her actual frontier, and the inland commerce, by the numerous rivers, Drina, Morava, Bona, &c. &c. the shores of the Adriatic, might give new resources to the growing spirit of com- mercial activity in the German empire.
But these after all may be mere reveries; nothing absolutely renders them absurd, because experience has repeatedly realized occurrences much less probable: the parti- tion of Poland, and the sequestration and annexation of Venice, were events much more extraordinary than any of these which we have surmised, or than others which we should anticipate as appendages to such a course of events.
On the other hand should hostility actual- ly commence on the continent; it is to be presumed that the winter will be occupi- ed in preparation, and the arrangement of means and means of attack by the combin- ed powers. If Russia determines to act, Austria cannot be neutral; as the passage of an army of Russia unresisted, will be considered as a violation of the neutrality. It is not the interest of Austria to engage in her situation renders her involvement inevitable. The war would then be carried to the heart of Germany, and the Da- nube, Soultz, Marmonts, and Augereaus, France, would emulate the glories of the Austrians, and the Hoches, and the Mo- rands, on that celebrated theatre of milita- ry devastation.
The plains of Italy would once again feel the tread of hostile legions, her valleys re- echo the tones of horror, and her ri- vers blush with human blood.
The efforts of the grand moving power would necessarily be directed to keep the army as remote from Great Britain as practi- cable; as most congenial to her views of peace and commerce, and as most pernici- ous to France. The countries on the Me- diterranean would therefore be the princi- pal theatre of war unless the French chief determined to attack her rival at home,
should endeavor to make a diversion either by a feigned descent or an actual invasion of Ireland; a measure by no means im- practicable though certainly not so desir- able by the people whom it would be pro- fessedly intended to succour as heretofore. An invasion of Ireland at this time though it would certainly find allies in the despair of the people of that oppressed nation, would not obtain so cordial, general, and confident an aid as when the banners of France waved only in the name of a free nation. The Irish could expect no better fate under the present rulers of France than Holland or Switzerland; and perhaps the people after all their struggles under the hope of emancipation from their tyranny of 600 years, might find themselves reduced to a more inveterate bondage (if possible) as the price of peace and concession.
One trait appears palpable in all the pro- ceedings of the French ruler. He has turned his attention to the marine . Refer- ence to the wonders performed by Colbert in the organization of the French marine under Louis XIV. has been constantly made by politicians. Gallican and Anti- Gallican. It took Colbert four years to collect fifty ships of war of all descriptions. But there had been a previous effort made by Richelieu, in the preparation of mate- rials and artificers from Holland. The French rulers of the present day have re- trieved disasters unprecedented in the an- nals of the world, and in a shorter space.
The French marine may be said to have lost its vital power by the defection of its naval commanders. The destruction of the naval arsenal at Toulon and the battle of the Nile, seemed to render all the expec- tations of France from her navy forever hopeless—Yet by a system novel and bold, men have been formed to the rudiments of seamanship without quitting her harbors. We allude to the construction of gun boats, praams, &c. and the discipline introduced in the management of these craft. In this contrivance, the variety of objects which have been obtained are no less remarkable than the general effect of forming a class of men prepared with habits of activity on the water, to be removed to the more enlarged sphere of naval discipline. In accom- plishing his main object , these have been likewise accomplished: workmen in naval architecture have been formed; the fruits of their industry has been distributed in the bosom of the society to which they belong; and they have kept their adversary in a constant state of alarm and at an expence little short of an actual warfare.
During this period, thirty seven sail of the line, have been launched, and a great number are at this moment on the stocks, many near launching; and by the junction of the navy of Spain, the system of block- ade appears to be rendered totally fruitless and nugatory.
The system of French tactics on the o- cean, appears to be of the Fabian kind; and from some hints thrown out in the Moniteur, it would seem, that every ob- ject was expected to be achieved by delay & by detaching the adversary; while the pro- gress of naval discipline and the increase of ships of force were pursued, with a zeal incessant and astonishing.
The only apparent hopes which the com- bined powers can entertain, must not be from their prowess in the field, nor from their success against such a system on the ocean; nor from the colonies of France, which are no longer obstacles to her enter- prizes nor deductions from the unity of her force; but from some hopes of organizing a force within the bosom of France which may co-operate with the powers combined; or from some calculations that may be made upon the dormant but not the destroyed love of liberty , which certainly largely prevails in the armies of France.
On the first ground of hope we can only say that they have before been repeatedly entertained and baffled.
Of the latter we offer no opinion.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 15.
The British ship Northumberland, capt. Gibbs, in attempting to enter the South Channel yesterday, got ashore on the North Breaker, and is bilged. The crew left the ship with five feet water in the hold, and came up to town last night.
The Northumberland sailed from Jamai- ca with the homeward bound fleet of mer- chantmen; but having sprung a leak, left the convoy. She was a fine ship of 423 tons burthen; had a cargo of 527 hogs- heads and 57 tierces Sugar, 48 puncheons Rum, 53 cases and 188 bags Coffee, 112 bags Pimento, 30 bales Cotton, and 47 tons Logwood; a very trifling proportion of which it is supposed will be saved.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30.
DIED this morning, in the 37th year of his age, after an illness of twelve days, Mr. Abram Hewes, of the house of Hewes and Miller, merchants, of this town.
In a state of society, exempt from the indiscriminate application of posthumous praise, and where pre-eminent worth alone should command the pen of the eulogist, this gentleman could not have been over- looked as a distinguished exemplar of hu- man life.
To a character for probity surpassed by none, were added a benevolence of dispo- sition and sensibility of heart, that made every man his friend, and will cause many deeply to lament his loss.
His remains will be removed from his house, to-morrow morning at half past nine o'clock, for interment, where the inhabi- tants and friends in particular, are respect- fully invited to attend.
Extract of a letter from an American gen- tleman of intelligence and respectability at Cadiz.
I can from my own knowledge vouch for the truth of the enclosed memorial, and I think it should be taken up in such a pub- lic manner by all the merchants in the U- nited States, as should convince the govern- ment that their interests in the instance complained of is most seriously neglect- ed.
THE MEMORIAL. Recommendation to the Merchants of the United States trading to the Mediterra- nean.
WHEREAS the trade of the United States to the Mediterranean, is one of the most valuable of the said States, and has been during the last and more particularly during the present war, much molested by an infamous set of privateers fitted out in the ports of Spain, whose general rendez- vous has been and continues to be the port of Algeziras, before which port every ves- sel bound to the Mediterranean must ne- cessarily pass, and whereas it appears there is no consul or agent for the United States, nor has there been for several years past at
Algeziras, except a Spaniard nominated by Mr. John Gravino of Gibraltar [within a few weeks,] and that the said port being within the jurisdiction of the Consul of Ca- diz, which office is held by a Spaniard now residing at Madrid, and who has not resid- ed for many years past within 50 miles of his consulate, and that the interests and ho- nor of the U. S. and its citizens are totally neglected and its vessels are daily captured and carried into the ports of Algeziras & the captains or seamen there engaged either to sign papers in a foreign language which in many instances are made the grounds of their condemnation, or obliged to enter in- to compromises equally injurious both to the honor of the United States and the in- terests of the citizens, and whereas J. Iz- nardy, Consul General of the United States, at Cadiz and its dependencies, has been applied to, to appoint a Vice Consul at Al- geziras, and he has either been unwilling so to do, or has been unable to get any per- son to serve under him, alledging that no person would consent to remain there with- out a fixed salary, which the government have refused to allow to any Consul or Vice Consul, and whereas from the above stated facts, it clearly appears, that the interests of the United States and its citizens are totally abandoned to the mercy of a set of privateers men, and that immense sums have been lost and continue daily to be brought in and condemned.
It is therefore strongly recommended to the citizens of the United States, engaged in the trade to the Mediterranean to call a meeting in the different Sea ports and pre- sent a petition to Congress claiming that protection which they conceive themselves & their property entitled to, and requesting that a respectable citizen of the United States may be appointed to the office of Consul General of Cadiz and its dependen- cies with an obligation of his residing at his post, and, in case of no citizen be- ing willing from the local situation of Alge- ziras, to remain there without a salary, that a salary may be allowed to the Vice Consul residing at the port of Algeziras. Cadiz, Aug. 15, 1805.
SEAMENS PROTECTIONS.
A gentleman, who has lately returned from Halifax, and brought with him his son, whose liberation from on board one of the British fri- gates on that station, he procured through the friendship and agency of James Smith, Esquire, of that place assures us, that the common pro- tections, which are given to our seamen, at the custom houses, will not insure their safety from impressment on board British ships of war. He adds, that in order to render these protections safe, and conformable to the regulations of the British navy, they must be accompanied by the copy of a certificate signed by the town clerk of the place, where the birth of each seamen is re- registered; which copy must be annexed to the protection and the original acknowledged by the collector to be deposited in his office.

Valuable Lands and Negroes FOR SALE. THE Subscriber desirous of disposing of his distant property, so as to bring his affairs more within his reach and management, offers for sale the following lands and negroes, at prices so reduced as to claim the attention of persons wishing to invest money in such property, viz. CHATAM, that elegant and highly improved seat on the banks of the Rappahannock River, directly opposite the town of Fredericksburg, containing about eleven hundred acres, four hundred of which are in wood, and valuable timber, the rest in cultivation, and pleasure grounds—The land is tillage is level, a considerable part of it has been highly manured, and the whole of it well adapted to the culture of grass, small grain, and Indian corn, as the crop now growing will attest. The house and offices are of brick, and of a large and handsome scale, with a garden in front containing four acres, laid off with taste and well planted with the choicest fruit trees, now in full bearing, and ornamented with forest trees and shrubs of almost every description. There is on the estate adjoining the river, a grist mill built of free stone, containing the modern machinery and two pair of stones, one of them French Burr—It commands a large country custom, is well situated for merchant business, and has rented for five hundred dollars per annum exclusive of all the grain of the farm hopper free, which is equal to three hundred dollars more. There are all necessary out-houses, for either convenience or luxury, such as ice-house, spring-house, barn, stable, offices, &c. &c. With all these advantages and expensive improvements, this property is offered at a price which the lands alone ought to command. There are also some valuable fisheries, and quarries of free stone on this estate. Also, a tract of land generally called Clark's, about two miles below Chatham, on the north bank of the Rappahannock river, and within view of the town of Fredericksburg, containing upwards of four hundred acres. About one hundred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahannock river bottom in cultivation, and is well adapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the residue is in wood, surrounding a height, which furnishes a beautiful site for building. Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, adjoining Stafford court house, containing upwards of twelve hundred acres. This is good farming land, and has several tenants on it. Also, a tract of land in Westmoreland and Richmond counties, containing upwards of two thousand acres, on which there are also several tenants. These two last mentioned tracts of land will be sold in small tenements, or in entire tracts, as may best suit the wishes of purchasers. Also, a tract of land called Boyd's Hole, containing about one hundred and fifty acres, on the banks of the Potomac, in King George county, on which there are a comfortable dwelling house, store and tobacco inspection warehouse. Few situations combine more advantages, it being an excellent stand for a store, ferry and tavern, the two first of which are at present kept there. The houses have lately been put in good repair, and the buildings alone will rent for three hundred dollars a year. The land is good in quality, and the situation abounds in fish, oysters and wild fowl. Also, a valuable site for a Mill, with 50 acres of land adjoining, in King George county, and not far distant from the last mentioned tract. There has been a mill here for many years which has lately gone to decay, the dam is substantial and entire, and the situation for a country mill not equalled in that neighborhood, commanding a very extensive custom; the land is covered with cedar, which alone renders it very valuable. Also, several Lots and Houses in the town of Fredericksburg. Likewise, about two hundred and thirty NEGROES, of different ages, sizes and description. A sale of them by families will be preferred; to effect this they will be offered at a reduced price. As a part of these Negroes are at present attached to the Chatham estate, the purchaser of that property may be accommodated with any number of them, as well as stock of every description. Bank Stock of any of the Banks in Virginia, Maryland, or the district of Columbia, will be received in payment for any part of this property at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber is unable to attend to property so distant, is anxious to convert it into stock. He will also rent a number of FARMS on his Ravensworth estate, containing from 2 to 400 acres each, on encouraging terms, to good farmers. They lay from eight to ten miles distant from Alexandria, George Town, and the City of Washington, and convenient to the turnpike road now building from Alexandria to the upper country.

To Planters and Farmers. The subscriber offers for sale, on a liberal credit, or for NEGROES, Ten tracts of Land, of 1000 acres each, situate on the river Oucheta, and the Bayou of Berthelaine, in the county of Oucheta, and territory of Orleans. The above land is part of the grant made to the Baron de Bastrop by the Spanish government. It is situated above fifty miles from the Natchez, 250 miles from New Orleans, and 50 from the river Mississippi, and from 10 to 15 miles from the post of Oucheta. It is thought unnecessary to give more than a brief description of it, as any person wishing for more particular information may obtain it from any of the following named gentlemen. The above land lies on waters navigable in all seasons for vessels of 40 tons burthen, is in the heart of a country fast settling from the Mississippi territory and Kentucky, and being but a few miles from the post renders it contiguous to mills, stores, cotton gins, &c. It is scarcely necessary to say any thing of the quality of the soil, as the whole of that country is known to be the finest land in the world. It may not be improper to remark however, of these lands, that about one fifth being covered with timber, the rest is prairie, and nothing else is required to prepare it for a crop of cotton, indian corn, tobacco, hemp, or rice, (in the lowest part of the grounds) than merely ploughing it up. The subscriber owns 5000 acres more, on which he would be glad of obtaining industrious settlers. Such settlers ought to have some negroes, and a plenty of children. To such he offers liberal encouragement, either by selling to them at a low price, or on a long credit of 5 or 6 years, or lease of 10 years. He would also furnish them with provisions on their arrival there. For further particulars enquire of Thomas W. Griffith's and Thomas Chase, Esquires, at Baltimore; David P. Dewees, at Alexandria, Virginia; Dr. J. Scott, of Fredericksburg; or of the subscriber at New Orleans, but at present in Philadelphia. William Dewees. September 16. 1aw
