LATE NEWS.
Yesterday afternoon the ship Pomona, captain Allen, arrived at this port from Liverpool. By this arrival we obtained London papers to the 27th of August. — The expectations of a continental war appear to gain strength daily in England. Bonaparte's writers have commenced their attacks on Austria and Russia. A late Moniteur observes, that the conduct of Austria in keeping up a formidable military force in the Tyrol and Italy, is tantamount to a declaration of war. This force, therefore, must be diminished, or hostilities commence. The French government appears to have abandoned all hopes of preserving peace with Russia. We hear of no measure or expedient which has that object in view; but of restoring a good understanding with Austria, hopes are still entertained, and Talleyrand is exerting all his "diplomatic skill" for that purpose. The prospect of success is faint. The emperor of Germany is prepared for war. No oziltzoff had not reached St. Petersburg at the last dates.
Intelligence had been received in England of the departure of the combined fleets from Ferrol, on the 13th of August. No account, however, had been received of their arrival at Cadiz. A day or two after the fleets left Ferrol, admiral Calder appeared off there, with a squadron augmented to 20 sail of the line from Cornwallis's fleet. On finding that Gravina and Villeneuve had sailed, it is possible Calder might steer for Cadiz. There were various rumors as to the command which would be given to lord Nelson. Lord Keith had sailed to the North Sea.
The Paris Moniteur, as might have been expected, has taken the part of the Americans against the orders lately reported to have been given to the British naval commanders.
VIENNA, August 7.
The French ambassador has addressed a note, cuncto our government demand in the most insolent terms, ing a pe empty explanation of the objects of the warlike preparations going forward in the Austrian dominions, and the extraordinary activity in the military department. The note also demands a peremptory answer, whether it was the intention of Austria to go to war with France; whether any recent treaty had been concluded with Russia, or whether any alliance with that power was on the point of being concluded? The answer of the court of Vienna to these interrogatories was highly dignified. It stated, that the assembling of such large bodies of French troops had rendered precautions on the part of Austria indispensable. All the negotiations with Russia had solely for their object an armed neutrality, and that any more intimate connection with foreign powers must depend solely on circumstances.
Immediately after this answer was given, the French ambassador gave assurances that the greatest part of the French troops should quit Italy.
It is rumored that the republic of Ragusa has applied to be incorporated with Austria, in imitation of the union of Genoa to France.
LONDON, Aug. 26.
Just before this paper was put to press, we received the Moniteurs to the 18th; their contents are of very considerable importance, and seem to decide the question of peace or war between Austria & France. The important fact, that war with Austria is considered as inevitable, is communicated in a note in the Moniteur of the 16th.
Mr. Ellsworth the messenger who arrived on Friday from Petersburg is understood to have brought his imperial majesty's ratification of the treaty of alliance with this country. The immediate accession of Austria to it may be expected, if it be true as generally asserted, that the insolent tone and demands of France have induced the Emperor of Germany to require the execution of a treaty with Russia, by which the two powers bind themselves to assist each other under certain circumstances, with a stipulated force. Russia has willingly and instantly complied with the requisition, and sixty thousand Russians are actually said to be on their march to the Austrian Frontiers.
August 27.
Government was occupied the whole of the last week, and is still employed in taking up a great number of transports. They are probably intended for the conveyance of Russian troops to the Mediterranean,
or to any other point where their services may be required; and we learn that a Russian squadron of ten sail of the line is shortly expected to co-operate with us in the North Seas. The transports are to rendezvous at the Nore.
The Russian fleet, of Cronstadt and Revel, consisting of eighteen ships of the line and some frigates, is now cruising in the Baltic.
By a letter received this day from the Channel fleet, it appears that on Wednesday last the French fleet left Brest, and anchored in Camaret Bay. Our in-shore squadron communicated the fact by signal to admiral Cornwallis who immediately led in the fleet to attack them. As soon as his intention was discovered the French fleet got under way and scampered back to Brest; but they did not get in until three of the ships were completely mauled by a raking fire from some of the British ships. They were three in number superior to admiral Cornwallis, but the latter, under the present critical situation of the country, determined to try whether they were in earnest.
The British frigate Phenix of 36 guns, has captured the French frigate Didon of 44 guns, and 300 men, after a severe action of three hours, on the 10th inst. in lat. 43, long 12. The Didon sailed from Ferrol with the combined fleet, and had 150 men killed and wounded. The Phenix has been spoken with her prize in tow.
Sir Sidney Smith has within these few days had several interviews with the board of admiralty. He is immediately to be employed in an important command.
The British have seventy sail of the line in Europe, in service or ready for service.
A late return of the French troops state them at near five hundred thousand.
A letter from Cadiz dated August 19 states, that a new duty of one dollar per barrel has been imposed on all flour imported into the ports of Spain. Cadiz and St. Lucar were rigorously blockaded.
PHILADELPHIA, October 17.
Latest European Intelligence.
We are enabled to lay before the readers of The True American, this morning European Intelligence to the 30th of August from London papers to that date, received by the ship Benjamin Franklin.
Vienna Sept. 31.
There are at present at the camp of Petrow, 63 battalions of grenadiers.
The disturbances in Egypt continue. — Elphi Bey is arming near Ramanieh, to surprize Rosetta and Alexandria. The misery of that country is beyond description.
Our court Gazette of this day contains the following intelligence from Turkey:
"The feuds between two of the most powerful governors of Turkey in Asia; Ishopan Oglu and Tajar Pasha, of Trebisonda, take a very serious turn. A decisive battle has been fought, in which Ishopan Oglu was completely routed. Angora, Tokat, Amasia, and other cities followed the laws of the conqueror, and submitted to Tajar Pasha, who was already known to be a mortal enemy to the Nizami Gedad, and the new military system."
"The 14th of July is the day fixed for the formal introduction of the English envoy, Mr. Arbuthnot; meanwhile he has already had conferences with the Reis Effendi. The large frigate which conveyed him to Constantinople, is returned to the Mediterranean. There are also two English sloops of war in the road off Bujukdere, having arrived from Malta with a convoy, and a large Russian transport, bound from Corfu to Sebastopol."
General Strauch, who was a member of the Aulic council of war, is sent to Tyrol as an assistant to the general commanding in that province. He has already set off for Inspruck.
HAMBURGH, August 13.
All the Danish troops in the territories of Holstein and Schleswig, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march — A Russian courier having brought very important dispatches to Copenhagen, an express was immediately sent off by the prime minister to the prince royal, who was with the princess in the German part of the Danish dominions, requesting his immediate return to Copenhagen. Great movements have been of late observed among the French troops in Hanover; and it is strongly suspected to be the Corsican's intention to march an army into Holstein, and to occupy Gluckstadt, Husum, and Toningen, so as to shut up every communication with Great Britain, and even to blockade the Sound from the land side. The plan of operations, which is said to have been offered to Bonaparte by general Schauenburg, has received his full approbation; but the court of St. Petersburg having been informed of it, the most positive orders were sent to the Danes to defend the neutrality and independence of their territory.
PARIS, August 5.
For these six weeks past greater preparations than ever have been made at Boulogne for the invasion. Upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand men are assembled at Boulogne and its vicinity. — There are five thousand vessels in the port. The three divisions of the army will be denominated the Scotch, English, and Irish armies. It is asserted, that the fleet of admiral Villeneuve will soon appear off the Irish coast.
August 9.
This day the report is general that the invasion will be attempted.
It is asserted by one party that the combined fleet had advanced to the Channel to drive away the English cruisers, and clear the way for the Boulogne flotilla.
London, August 25.
The latest advices from Bombay, says, that Sir Edward Pellew had taken great pains to make our navy in that quarter more respectable. He had added to our naval strength the Charon and Kaskaussoo two India ships, which were converting, with all possible expedition, into 44 gun frigates, 18 pounders to be called the lord Howe and lord Duncan. It was also in agitation to convert the Castlereagh into a frigate, to carry the same number of guns. The Tremendous and Grampus were under orders to proceed immediately to the Isle of France, for the purpose of blockading it. It was intended that the blockade should be henceforward constantly maintained, by affording relief at proper periods.
The private letters by the mails of yesterday, are more explicit than the printed journals are, or indeed dare to be, respecting the military movements on the continent. It is the general opinion, in the north of Germany, that the fleet in the Baltic is to cover the debarkation of a Russian army, either in the Swedish Pomerania, or the Duchy of Mecklenburgh. If a measure of that decided character were resorted to, we would soon be able to discover what part the court of Berlin would be likely to take in the approaching war. His Prussian Majesty (so say the continental
politicians in the French interest) is determined not only to adhere to his system of neutrality, but to maintain the tranquillity of the north of Germany, and to take such measures as may prevent it from being made the focus of war by any power whatever.
If it be the determination of that Prince, the sincerity of it is likely to be soon put to the proof. It is said that a categorical answer has been demanded of his Prussian majesty by the Emperor Alexander, as to the line of conduct which he would pursue in case the Russian armies should advance into the north of Germany. What was the nature of the answer, if any has been given, has not transpired; but the preparations of the court of St. Petersburg are continued with the same activity as if she were assured of the acquiescence of Prussia, or regardless of her opposition. If Prussia shall oppose the occupation of Pomerania by the Russian army, she must inevitably be involved in the war; & that the Emperor Alexander has determined to occupy it, is a prevailing opinion in the north of Germany; but whether in consequence of an actual sale by Sweden, or of a temporary cession, arranged for the purposes of the war, is not yet certainly known.
The military situation of Austria has never been more respectable than it is at present. Her efficient army, far exceeding three hundred thousand men, is admirably disciplined and conditioned; and what is no less essential, is animated by a spirit never yet observed in it. All the useless exercise has been abolished; a concise, but much more effectual manual has been introduced; all superfluous baggage, and servants are dismissed, and all officers below the rank of a captain are obliged to march. A system of dress, better suited to the fatigues and inconveniences of a campaign, has been established for the soldiers; they wear their hair short; and all those ornamenting minutiae, which however pleasing to the view, added nothing to their strength, are henceforth to be dispensed with. The whole of the Austrian army are eager for battle, and some pains has been taken to infuse into them that ardent spirit.
Some politicians on the continent affect, however, to believe that pacific arrangements are making between France and Austria. The French ambassador was admitted to a private audience by the emperor of Germany on the 3d instant, at the town of Baden, about 15 miles from Vienna, when it is supposed the ultimatum of the Emperor, on the points that have given umbrage, was given to the ambassador, who is said to have offered, that concessions of importance to Austria should be made on the side of Italy. We may observe, however, that such opinions are circulated chiefly in quarters where it is well known the French have their emissaries and propaganda, as at Altoha and along the banks of the Maine; and that they accord not at all with the late article in the Moniteur, moderate and considerate as it has been considered, unless indeed the hint about the possible separation of the crowns of France and Italy, is to be regarded as indicative of some proposed arrangement respecting the latter country.
We have already stated that Sir R. Calder, with 20 ships of the line, was again employed in the blockade of Ferrol. If it be true, however that the combined fleet consists now of 37 sail of the line, the force we have on that station is two small.
Report says that admiral Calder has been recalled, but whether by his own request or by the admiralty, is not known, and that Sir Charles Cotton is to command the blockade. Let who will have the command there we may allow him to watch the motions of the enemy, but as to blocking 37 ships of the line with 20, the thing is impossible!
Indeed it is reported, in our Plymouth letter of this day, that the combined fleet is again at sea; we hardly think this is yet the case — but we see nothing to hinder it; and it will be seen by our extracts from the French papers, that in Paris it is expected "the fleet of Admiral Villeneuve will soon appear off the Irish coast."
Lord Nelson is to have the command of the Cork fleet — Sir Sidney Smith is to be second in command. It is not very difficult, from this arrangement, to divine whither that expedition is destined.
There is a strong report, that lord Spencer has joined the present administration, and that his lordship is to be placed at the head of the admiralty. — He was this day at the admiralty office, in company with lord Nelson.
The French papers are full of reports of the approaching invasion. If we considered the reports in the Paris Journals as tending to prove any thing, we would say, the more confidently they speak of the event as

the more certain we may be that it will not take place. Invasion may be at- tempted, but Bonaparte seems to have a for- tunate policy. He has now created a for- midable fleet. With that he means to dis- perse and divide our maritime strength; and still he will talk of invasion, for it fur- nishes an excellent pretext for maintaining a large army, which he may march when and where he pleases, in the event of a conti- nental war.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19.
Notwithstanding the accounts we have recently received of a relaxation in the or- ders of the British councils, relative to American vessels trading with enemies nations, it will be perceived by the follow- ing particulars of the detention of the ship Dispatch, that our commerce is still sub- jected to the most unwarrantable and inju- rious depredations.
[Phil. Gaz.]
Dover, Aug. 27.—Eleven o'clock, a. m. The Furieuse gun-brig, and another brig of the same description, from a cruise to the westward, have just put into these roads with an American ship, which they detained, on suspicion of their having ene- my's property on board.
An American ship, the Dispatch, of Philadelphia, which has been lying in this harbor these three weeks past has weighed her anchor to proceed on her voyage. This ship put in here in distress, having injured her rudder in striking on the sands off Os- end; she had cleared out from mster- dam, bound for the river of Canton, as the property of American merchants at Philadelphia. While she was in the act of getting under weigh, an immense crowd gathered on the quays. The boatswain, who was a Swede, and the captain, had had some dispute about the former's leaving the vessel, which the latter refused; and upon the boatswain persisting in his pur- pose, the captain put him in confinement until the hour of sailing. The lieut. of the Furieuse, at that moment, came alongside his boat, and the boatswain entered him- self into his majesty's service. The lieu- tenant went on board the Dispatch, and after some altercation, brought him off; the captain, however, detained his chest, on the grounds of his being in debt for two months wages and other sums which he had advanced him previous to their voyage from Amsterdam. This vessel was laden with bale goods to a considerable amount, and had a vast quantity of dollars on board which gave rise to the suspicion of her be- ing Dutch property. Two American sail- ors, belonging to a vessel which lay along side of her in the harbor, offered to swear that they sailed in her on her last voyage from Canton and asserted most po- sitively, that to their knowledge she was owned by her original owners who were Quaker merchants at Philadelphia to Dutch merchants at Amsterdam. It is also sup- posed that the boatswain gave a hint to the lieutenant of the Furieuse. The general conclusion is that she must be enemy's pro- perty.
Twelve o'clock, noon.—The Dispatch has just cleared the harbor, and stands on her larboard tack in order to haul her wind. The boat with the lieutenant of the Furieuse is lying to in the Roads, and the other vessel with the other gun brig, and the Americans which they detained, are proceeding to the Downs.
Half past twelve.—The lieutenant of the Furieuse has again boarded the Dis- patch, and having appeared to have ex- amined her papers, he has taken to his boat, and is supposed to have suffered her to pro- ceed on her voyage, she is now standing on her voyage."
Two o'clock, p. m.—The Fly cutter, capt. Partridge, who left this harbor a few moments before the Dispatch, has hailed the latter, who lay to for him; and the capt. of the Fly has sent his boat on board. A gun-brig which hove in sight about an hour ago, is also come up with her, the three vessels lay to for a short time, and, upon the return of the cutter's boat, they all hacked, and stood in for the Downs. So that it has been ascertained that there are good grounds for detaining the American as well as the other.
This is the third American ship which has been detained under similar circum- stances, in these Roads, within these last ten days. We understand that a very ex- tensive trade has been carried on by the Dutch, in this way, for a great length of time.
It is universally supposed here, that the ultimate destination of the Dispatch was the Cape of Good Hope, and not the river of Canton, and that the quantity of dollars
on board, was for the payment of the Dutch troops, stationed in that settlement."
Copy of a letter from Capt. EDWARD YARD, of the sch'r Ariadne, of Philadelphia, dated At sea, in lat. 20, long. 62, September 23.
"It is with pain I have to inform you, that on the 17th, we met with the most tremendous hurricane I ever saw, or any on board, which blew with such violence as to heave us on our beam ends, without an inch of sail, all our top- gallant yards down, top-gallant masts lanch'd, and the vessel well prepared to meet a gale.— We were under the necessity of cutting away the main mast, and with it went the fore top mast. She then righted, with her lee gunwale in the water, where she lay 6 or 8 hours. We lost al- most every thing off deck, with all our sails ex- cept top-gallant and steering sails, and fore-sail. I have with much labor and difficulty got up jury masts, with all the sail we could muster on them. I hope we shall now be able to reach our intended port. I write by an Alexandria schooner, captain Gilpin, who was so good as to spare us a small mast to assist us in making sail."
PARIS, August 17.
Vice Admiral Villeneuve, to the Minister of Marine. Vigo, July 18.
"I am now under way. I leave here 2 Spanish ships, and the French ship L'At- las. These vessels have not suffered much in the action, but they sail badly, and I consider them as rather likely to delay the squadron than to reinforce it."
"I have disembarked here my sick.— The length of the voyage, and the badness of the weather, has caused a sickness a- mong the troops, but those who have no- thing but the scurvy, are in no danger, and will soon be restored by air and fresh pro- visions. I shall set out with 15 ships, of which two are Spanish, and if we have a- ny affair on our voyage to Ferrol, with the squadron we have sought, we have nothing to fear."
"VILLENEUVE."
Rear Admiral Gourdon to the Minister of Marine and Colonies.
"MY LORD. Ferrol, Aug. 2.
"I have the honor to announce to your Excellency, that Ad. Villeneuve and Gra- vina have this moment anchored at Coruna. The English squadron re-appeared two days ago: it consisted of thirteen ships of the line, but immediately on seeing the squadron of Rear Ad. Villeneuve, it sailed again. It had, however, nothing to fear from the combined squadron in Ferrol, the wind being west, and blowing fresh, which rendered it impossible for us to get out. We are all animated by an ardent desire to give his majesty proofs of our devotion for him, and our desire of enterprize for the glory of his flag."
Receive the assurances of my respect. (Signed) "GOURDON."

Arrived, on Wednesday, from Abaco, the wrecking vessel Brothers, Sawyer, by which we learn, that on the night of the 16th inst. the brig William, Russel, from New-York to the Havanna, got on shore on the Elbow, Abaco, where she was dis- covered early the next morning, by captain Sawyer who, with the assistance of some people at Abaco, after lightening her, got her off. She was loaded with dry goods and household furniture. Captain Russel gave the inhabitants of Abaco 700 dollars worth of dry goods for their exertions, and captain Sawyer has brought some of the household furniture here. She was left at an- chor at Lonyard's Key, on the 23d inst. but stated from the damage she has re- ceived, while on shore, to be unfit for sea. The captain seemed determined to try to make the Havanna. The William had 2 Spanish gentlemen passengers, on board. No lives lost.
The subject of hemp having been often named in the Southern papers, the following extract from a letter written by Dr. Franklin is offered to the public notice. Upon a report to the board of Trade in 1773, relative to the inland settle- ment in America, Dr. Franklin wrote an elabo- rate answer. The report was taken into confi- deration in the privy council, and in July their Lordships decided in favor of the re-admission for the lands on which the settlements were proposed. The privy council having decided against the Board of Trade, Lord Hillsborough, at the Head of the Board of Trade, resigned in conse- quence, Dr. Franklin did not give a free circula- tion of his answer to the report, which has been since printed. In this letter Dr. Franklin ob- serves,—"as to hemp, we are ready to make it appear, that it grows as we have represented, spontaneously, and of good texture, on the Ohio. When, therefore, the increasing dependence of this kingdom, upon Russia, for this very article, is considered, and that none has been exported from the sea coast American colonies, as their soil will not easily produce it—this dependence must surely be admitted as a subject of great national consequence, and worthy of the serious attention of government. Nature has pointed out to us where any quantity of hemp can be soon and ea- sily raised; and by that means not only a large amount of specie may be retained yearly in this kingdom, but its own subjects can be employed most advantageously, and paid in the manufac- tures of this kingdom. The state of the Russian trade is briefly thus: from 1722 to 1731, 250 ships were, on a medium, sent each year to St. Petersburgh, Nits, Riga and Archangel for hemp. And from the year 1762 to 1772, 500 ships were also sent for that purpose. An increase in ten years of 250 ships. Here, then, it is ob- vious that in the last ten years there was, on a medium, an increase of 250 ships in the Russian trade. Can it be consistent with the wisdom and policy of the greatest naval and commercial na- tion in the world, to depend wholly on foreign ers for the supply of an article, in which it in- cluded the very existence of her navy and com- merce surely not; and especially when God has blessed us with a country yielding naturally the very commodity which draws our money from us, and renders us dependent on Russia for it." We can easily apply this reasoning to our own coun- try.

The following is an Account of the method of mak- ing the famous Parmesan Cheese; from the 7th Volume of Young's Annals of Agricult- ure.
"THE time of making the Cheese is about 12 o'clock; and they put together the morning's
and evening's milk.—With the milk when co- oled it is put into the kettle, about the size of walnut of curdling, which is the Roman or calf, beat up with salt. When the milk is a little warm, they put a little arnatta into the k- ettle, and stir the milk: this arnatta is a d- they buy at a surgeon's shop, that gives the I- mestian Cheese the color it has. When the milk warm enough, the kettle is moved off the fire when it goes together, the curd is broke a lit- and then the kettle is moved on the fire aga- for a minute or two. When moved off again the curd is broke very much, first with an infl- ment like a church stick, and then with a band of Small rods, like what is called a whisk. A- ter the above operation the kettle is moved the fire again, and the curd constantly stirre- till it is tough enough for a little of it to be together, when laid across ones finger.
The kettle is then moved off the fire, and when the curd goes to the bottom, they press the whey out of it with their hands, which make the curd firm enough to admit of being lifted out of the kettle, into a vessel of the same sort and size with the bottom of the kettle.
Out of that vessel it is turned over on a slop- ing table, that the curd may run off from it and when there, a wooden hoop without any cloth is fixed round it. A coarse cloth not unlike hair cloth, is laid on the top, and over it a stone as large as a man can easily lift.
The ends of the hoop are not fixed together, but pass one another a little; & through a knob on one end, is made a hole through which is run a small cord, with a knot on the end of it, which being drawn round the hoop, it serves to tighten and raise it as the cheese dries and sinks below the edge of the hoop.
The cheese remains in the hoop from ten to forty days, according to its size: and after the second, a little salt is sprinkled on the cheese when it is turned, from eight to thirty days, ac- cording to its size.
For that time the cheese lays in a small place of the milk house, which is called the salting house.
From the salting-house, the cheeses are remov- ed to the drying-house which is fitted up with thelves, and in which is a great circulation of air.—There they lie till sold; which is generally from nine to twelve months; and during that time they turn and rub them every day with a piece of coarse stuff, not unlike a powder puff — if kept longer, they are obliged to scrape them instead of rubbing.—Parmesan cheese is best at three years old.

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 willing to invest money in such property, viz.
CHATHAM, 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 in 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 on 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 Burrs—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 ware house. 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 Scite 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 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.

Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.

They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholics, Colicwheels, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.

The lot attached to the house is 63 feet fronting upon Water street, (corner of Jefferson-street) running into the channel. More ground may be obtained if required.
