NOTICE.
ALL Persons are hereby forewarned from purchasing from Mr. Andrew Ramsay, or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the Name of POOL, which I claim as my Property, and for which there is a suit instituted and now depending and undetermined in the court of Alexandria, and no doubt is entertained of a decision in my favour. LUCY WILSON. Sept. 16. 21w6t
To all whom it may concern.
A VERY extraordinary Notice appearing in the Alexandria Advertiser of yesterday, under the signature of Lucy Wilson, forewarning all Persons from purchasing from me or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the name of POOL, I deem it proper to state certain facts relating thereto, which cannot be controverted either by her or her Agent. Negro POOL alluded to, was left to my Mother by her Sister, Mrs. Ann J. Gordon, along with the residue of her Estate, particularly mentioned in her Will, and the only Negro therein left to Lucy Wilson, is one now possessed, or the name of Lucy. Pool has been in my Mothers quiet Possession for about twelve Years past, and is now my Property by Deed of Gift from her, dated July last. I have now only further add, by introducing part of a Letter in my possession, from one of the Executors, whose veracity will not be called in question, of which the following is an Extract: "I received a letter in several conversations with Mrs. Gordon, while she was ill at my House, she complained of —'s cruel treatment of Pool, and said she had determined to keep the Boy, that he should not be again in —'s power; that she had never given John Gordon a Deed for him, but she would make Lucy Gordon amends for her taking the Boy back again, by giving her Lucy, Hannah's Daughter, and these sentiments she expressed at the time I wrote her Will. Pool was in Mrs. Gordon's possession at the time of her death, and was afterwards indentured and hired out as part of her Property. I related these circumstances to Mr. Campbell Wilson and Mrs. Wilson" ANDREW RAMSAY. Sept. 30. 21w6t

Latest Foreign Intelligence. From London papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by Isip Brothers, Hall, Liverpool.
LONDON, Aug. 12.
We learn from Bombay, that quick-silver has been found in a pure state at Cottan, in Colombo. A pit has been dug to the depth of fourteen feet, and the quick-silver is found in five different parts of it, at a small distance from each other, in strata of earth nearly two feet thick: eight or nine pounds weight have been collected: it appears in small globes. We further learn, that orders were issued at Colombo, prohibiting the cutting of timber in the company's forests, without authority for that purpose.
A private letter from Bombay informs us, that upwards of 400,000 lb. weight of cinnamon were to be shipped from Colombo this year, the produce of the Canadian territories, and that a greater quantity was expected next season, in consequence of the prunings, which afford air and space to the plants in the Malandah .
A further proof of the extreme caution used by the French Government in admitting any direct commercial intercourse with this country, is afforded by the following fact. The American vessel Sophia , capt Smith, is arrived at Whitby, with which, however, the captain states it is necessary to clear out for some neutral port, and to obtain fresh dispatches from thence as an indispensable requisite to the obtaining permission to land his cargo.
Doctor Herschell is now at Paris, a diligent attendant at the sittings of the Institute.
August 16.
We have received Paris Journals to the 12th inst. Dutch Mails have also arrived.
The Moniteur denies that there exists at present, any disposition to attack the independence and the territory of the Ottoman Porte. But if the contrary be the fact, who would expect that it should be avowed before the blow could be struck? Bonaparte's Egyptian expedition shews his sentiments as strongly at least as the paragraph in the Moniteur can be supposed to do. If, however, France wishes to protect the independence of Turkey, it is natural to suppose that all French officers and French influence will quickly be recalled from the camp of Passwan Oglou. If it be the interest of France to protect the Turks (and it is the interest of France well understood to renounce all conquests and all schemes of foreign encroachments,) Bonaparte has received a new light. It is not for the happiness or for the liberty of France to have extended her territory as she has done by the revolutionary wars. She has made an empire not a republic; and bartered internal freedom for an empty name. These bad politics, the end of which is mischief, are not yet out of fashion in France. Bonaparte, before he went to Egypt, had fixed his eyes on Turkey as a subject for revolutionary experiment. We have now under our eye a Book of Travels, written by a countryman of Bonaparte, a Corsican, named Stephanopoli, who declares that he was sent on purpose to the Morea by Bonaparte, to reconnoitre and prepare the elements of revolution in that quarter. The book is a foolish one, to be sure, and the spies sent, egregious idiots; but the man expressly declares that he was sent from the army of Italy by Bonaparte on an Apostolic mission of this kind, and if he tells a falsehood, his book deserves a paragraph as much as any thing that has hitherto excited the resentment of the Moniteur . If Bonaparte, however, has changed his opinion, and really wishes to keep peace in Europe, we are very glad to hear it. Sure we are that the French nation can have no just motive in going to war, whatever sinister views its Rulers may have.
The Moniteur of the 12th of August contains the plan for the organization of the Italian republic. It is drawn up under ten heads or titles; the first refers to the general organization; the second to the Prefectures; the third to the Sub Prefects; the fourth and fifth, to the Departmental Administrations; the sixth to the Municipalities; the seventh to the General Councils; the eighth to the Chancellors of Districts; the ninth to the Council for Districts, and the tenth relates to Provisional Dispositions.
The Emperor of Russia has ratified the convention respecting the indemnities; and
according to report, he has stipulated for certain conditions in a separate instrument, one of which is full indemnifications to the King of Sardinia. This cannot be true. Where can such indemnifications be obtained? In this convention between France and Russia, it has been agreed that, should the deputation of the empire procrastinate their decision relative to the indemnities beyond the period of two months from the plan being submitted to them; the contracting parties are to take possession of their several shares. In fact, Prussia has begun, and has already occupied Hildesheim, Münster and Paderborn, replying to the remonstrances of the court of Vienna, that this course is pursued in consequence of a separate convention made with France, and that Austria had acted in a similar manner in taking possession of the Venetian territories as an equivalent for the loss of the Austrian Netherlands. The Emperor continues passive, as any active opposition would bring on a rupture between the two countries. The smaller states, however, have halted in consequence of the menaces of the head of the empire; and as Prussia acts under an especial treaty with France, Bavaria, Hesse Darmstadt, &c. have sent to Paris to obtain by convention a similar sanction. France, it is supposed, will authorise every petty state to act in defiance of the court of Vienna, and the extraordinary deputation will only meet at Ratisbon to expose its imbecility.
Letters from Petersburg, dated July 13, says—"the following is an authentic account of the singular reception which Count Panin experienced in Sweden: This Nobleman proposed making a tour through all the European states and to begin with Sweden. When he arrived in Finland he was visited by General Count de Klingspoor who told him he was surprised he should pursue his way through a province which at all times presented so few conveniences to the traveller, and of which all the resources were at that time absorbed by the presence of his majesty and suite. He therefore advised him to embark and to proceed to Stockholm by water. Count de Panin replied, that if he had wished to take that course he might easily have hired a ship at Petersburg; but he was unwilling to travel by sea as he had all his family with him; on this account he had travelled by land in the best manner he could, as it was of little importance to him whether he arrived at Stockholm a few days later or sooner. Count de Klingspoor retired without returning any answer; but a few minutes after, he wrote a letter to Count de Panin, that it was the desire of his Swedish Majesty, that his Excellency would not continue his journey through the kingdom. Count de Panin replied, he knew that the desires of Sovereigns were orders, and that he would return to Russia; but that he was much astonished that his Swedish Majesty should intimate to him such an order; that as an individual he could not have incurred the displeasure of his majesty, and that consequently, he could ascribe the present treatment only to his former quality of minister for the foreign affairs of Russia.
"It is well known, that after the peace between England and Denmark, Sweden demanded indemnities from Russia, under the pretence that it fitted out an armament and had been at considerable expence, and that Count de Panin, who was then minister, refused this demand, observing, that Sweden had not sent out a single ship, and had not contributed to the defence of the sound. Count de Panin, therefore, returned to Russia, and on his arrival at the frontiers he sent a courier to his Majesty the Emperor, to inform him of the reception he had met with in the Swedish territories. The Emperor replied in a note, which contained the following passage: "I beg you to believe, that I consider the injury done to you as an insult offered to my own person." It is not yet known what will be the result of this affair, which may become serious."

Stocks, as our readers must have seen by our daily list, have fluctuated much for some time. The general bearing of the market has been against the bulls in selling the Omnium account this day from a general apprehension of failures, from the enormous loss that has been sustained by them. At our usual hour of reporting the prices, things did not look so ill as many expected; but the complexion was such as to keep down the Omnium, which began at 8 per cent. discount, and fluctuated to 70.
CORFOU, July 20.
Three Turkish vessels arrived here on the 7th, to replace those which have been for some time past in this port: immediately on their arrival, two frigates of the division of the Patrona Bey sailed for Constantinople: this naval General has been raised by the grand Seignor to the dignity of Captain Bey, and the courier who brought his nomination was bearer also of that of the Minister of the Porte to this Republic, Mustapha Effendi Cozinat, to be Commander in Chief of the Spanis. In consequence of a repeated demand in the Grand Seignor, our Government has forbidden ships of the Republic to take on board slaves for the purpose of transporting them to other places, as well as to purchase silks at L. broussa, Micaliz, and several other parts of the Ottoman Empire. The nephew of the Pacha of Giannina arrived here on the 16th; and having gone on board the ship of the Patrona Bey, informed him of the peace concluded by the Pacha his uncle, and all the inhabitants of Romelia. He was saluted by the Turkish artillery, and received a caftan, as a mark of approbation. We are every day in expectation of the Russian troops from Naples: every thing has been long ready for transporting the troops of General Borodain.
NAPLES, July 19.
We learn by a vessel from Algiers that a Spanish squadron, consisting of three ships of the line and two frigates, appeared before that city on the 16th of June, and that the Commandant of the squadron having learned the pretensions which that regency formed in regard to Spain, declared war against it: but after three days negotiations, every thing was terminated in an amicable manner, and the other Spanish vessels proceeded to Tunis, to repeat, in all probability the same operation.
ROME, July 24.
The Pope has caused to be fitted out in the port of Civita Vechia two ships of the line, destined to pursue the Corsairs. These vessels will first escort as far as Fiumicino the baggage of the Portuguese Ambassador, who is comming to Rome.
VIENNA, July 28.
The house of Hesse Darmstadt has concluded at Paris, by its Minister Pappenheim, a treaty of indemnity, with which it appears to be perfectly satisfied.
The new Hospodar of Wallachia is arrived in the frontier town of Poksan, known by a Congress of the Turks and Russians, which was held there. He proposed to make his entrance into Bucharest on the 15th of this month, the troops of Passwan Oglou having totally retired. Letters from Constantinople, dated June 26th, which arrived here on the 24th inst. announce the re-establishment of tranquillity in the Capital of the Ottoman Empire.
FRANKFORT, August 9.
It is not known, with certainty, that the king of Prussia has ceded the territory known under the name Lymers, to the Batavian Republic. Some neighboring districts, such as that of Bucholtz, are destined for the Prince of Anhalt.
SALEM, September 24.
Yesterday arrived the Ship Minerva , Capt. FOLGER , from Rotterdam; to whom we are obliged for a file of papers of that city, to the 11th of August; from which we derive the following articles:—
Paris, August 1. Orders have been dispatched to Brest to fit out a squadron with all possible expedition. According to what Government has of late published in the official paper, it is conjectured that
this expedition is destined to act against the Barbary Potentates. We hear, however, that Spain signed the Peace with Algiers on the 19th June; and that it was expected another with Tunis would soon follow.
Rotterdam, August 10. West-India and American produce has experienced no alteration since our last. Grains are still declining.
Bonaparte has got permission to name his successor!
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Frederick the Great died the 18th inst. aged 76.
Vienna, July 24. The Arch-Duke has had a very serious relapse, and is now in a most dangerous situation.
Last Wednesday, intelligence was received here, by a messenger from Semlin, that new tumults had arisen in Constantinople, which were of so serious a nature, that the Grand Seignor was in consequence compelled to seek his safety in flight. Report says, he is gone to his Asiatic territory.—However, it is probable, that the latter of this intelligence is a conclusion drawn from the first part of; although something of the sort may be shortly expected, as the Grand Seignor certainly stands on ticklish ground; and the machinations against him, at present carrying on, are only known by their effects.
Hague Aug. 4. The Police of Paris has made prize of no less than 3000 obscene books, at the several Booksellers shops in that city. This is one great step in the cause of virtue and morality!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1.
A very material error having escaped us yesterday in the first article of Le Clerc's decree, we this day republish it as corrected.
DECREE Of the General in Chief, Capt. General. Article 1. From the first of Vende- maire, year 11, no merchandise or produce shall be imported into this country by for- eign vessels, except that contained in the list annexed; nor shall said vessels be pri- vileged to carry out of the island any goods but molasses, syrups, ratafia, and rum, dye woods, mahogany, and other woods used for making furniture, (except lignum vitae ) coffee, and the other pro- ductions and merchandises imported into the colony by the French commerce.
The democratic editors are extremely incensed against the federal writers for giving credit to Callender, after having convicted him of writing and publishing "wilful and malicious falsehoods." In reply, the federalists say, with great justice that as every man's testimony is good against, altho' not for himself, so Callender is a competent and credible witness against those who first employed him and gave him credit. Callender writes lies—Messrs. Jefferson, Giles, Mason, &c. give them countenance and currency. Is it compe- tent for persons of this description to com- plain of credit being given to one who is indebted to themselves for whatever of character he possesses? Were one person to forge a draft, and another, knowing it to be forged, to endorse it, could the indorser complain if he were afterwards compelled to pay its amount? However the drawee might object to paying, would the indor- ser be a competent witness against the drawer, and in favor of himself? Let de- mocratic editors apply this question.
Com. Adv.
PRICES CURRENT, AT LIVER- POOL, August 18, 1802.
Prices of Produce from America, admitted for Exportation until the 1st day of Jan. 1804, on paying certain Duties.
SUGAR, cwt. Muscovado Brown 26 to 31s. Middlings 32 to 37s. Good 38 to 41s. Fine 43 to 50s. Clayed Tetes and Terres, 36 to 53s. Powders 55 to 68s. Havanna Brown 37 to 41s. Yellow 42 to 46s. White 56 to 52s. At present foreign sugars meet with a dull sale, which may in some degree be attributed to a decree lately imposed on the importation into France. Both clayed and Ha- vannas are rather scarce, yet the demand is heavy.
COFFEE, cwt. Ordinary 73 to 83s. Middling 84 to 90s. Good 91 to 100s. Fine 101 to 115s. Triage 40 to 55s. The quan- tity in this market is small — The sale is, however, not brisk, as the stock in London is consi- derable, and the continent in general pretty well supplied.
COCOA, cwt. West India brown 75 to 80s. Red 80 to 83s. Spanish common 77 to 84s. Rather scarce, but the sale dull.
GINGER, lb. West India white 58 to 60s. Black 29 to 33s. Scarce and ready.
PIMENTO lb. 6 3/4 to 6 3/4. Steady. LOGWOOD, chipt, ton. Campeachy 171. 10s to 181 10s. Honduras 14 to 151. Jamaica 121 10s to 131.
Rather scarce. The following articles may be imported for Home Consumption or Exportation, until 1st Jan. 1804, on paying the duties re- quired by law.
COTTON, lb. Georgia, Sea-Island, 2s to 2s 7d. Upland 13 to 14d. New-Or- leans 14 to 16d. Bourbon 3s to 3s 6d. Cayenne 23 to 25d. Surri- nam 25 to 26d. Demarara 19 3/4 to 22 1/2d. Barbadoes 18 1/2 to 20 1/2d. Grenada 17 to 19d. Guadalupe 18 to 19 1/2d. Bahama and St. Do- mingo 16 to 19 1/2d. Carthagena 14d. Laguira 12 to 12 1/2d. This article, generally speaking, meets a ready sale, and particularly when the quality is good and clean. The market is steady, and most probably will remain so without any material variation, as our future supplies both from America and the West Indies are not expected to be considerable. The stock of good clean cotton is scanty.
MAHOGANY, 1 foot, inch thick—Hispan- iola 1s 4d to 2s 10d. Cuba 1s to 2s 9d. Honduras 11d to 2s 6d. Scarce, and meets with a ready sale, such as is of a fine quality. A few logs of extra fine have brought 3s 3d.
FUSTIC, ton—71 to 81 10s. Steady. NICARAGUA WOOD, ton—Small 22 to 32, large 34 to 40. Rather scarce.
HIDES, lb.—Buenos Ayres 7 1/2d to 8d. Common Spanish 5 1/2 to 6 3/4d. West India, 5 to 6d. Scarce and in demand.
TOBACCO, lb.—James River 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 Rappahannock 2 1/4 to 4 1/2d. Potowmack 2 1/4 to 5 1/2. Georgia & Carolina 2 1/2 to 4d. Stemmed 3 1/2d to 6 3/4d. Maryland brown, Coulory and Kitesfoot, none at market. Our flocks begin to be reduced by the purchases for exportation, and low Tobacco have experienced a small ad- vance. We have as yet had scarcely any supplies. Good old qualities are very much wanted for home manufacture, and would meet a brisk sale.
INDIGO, lb. Carolina 3 to 5s. Ready sale.
ROSIN, cwt. 14s to 15s 6d. Turpentine 13s 6d to 15s 6d. Pitch 13 to 14s. Steady.
TAR, bbl. 27 to 28s. Very scarce. ASHES, cwt. Pearl, 157 to 158s. Pot, 1st 28 to 38s. Steady.
RICE, cwt. 35 to 36s. Scarce.
FLOUR, bbl. Superfine and fine 39 to 40s. Steady. Grain and provisions of all kinds, Rice excepted, are allowed to be imported free of duty until 1st January, 1804.
The merchants in Liverpool, from whom the above Prices Current are receiv- ed, inform their Correspondents in New York that Wheat and Flour have fallen in consequence of the fine weather, which has had a favorable effect upon the harvest in England.

COMMUNICATION. AMONG other economical measures of our present rulers, was the recall of our Minister in Holland, with the determina- tion of not maintaining such an office in that country. But by the appointment of Mr. Pinckney, as our Ambassador at Ma- drid, as much was expended as was saved in the first instance. There is reason to suspect, that the Batavian Government was much displeased at the recall of our Envoy —that they thought it indicated a belief that Holland was an insignificant power, and not worthy the same attention which we paid to several other nations. Any one, though not a Zimmerman, might, have expected so much national pride. The Dutch Minister in this country we believe was, in consequence, recalled; and it is even conjectured, that in his va- ledictory communication to the Secretary of State, he gave him a "piece of his mind." Why have not the "servants?" communicated that letter to their "masters?" If there are American merchants who have claims on the Dutch Government, a want of cordiality between that and the Ame- rican is unfavorable to them. ( Palladium. )
AGRICULTURAL.
A very important Secret in Agriculture was made known, for the communication of which 200 gs. was previously subscrib- ed. It is a preventative for turnips against the insect called fly. "The discovery is to sow 2lb of radish seed on every acre of turnip land, with the turnips, which the inventor declares, will to attract the fly, as to prevent its proving at all injuri- ous to the turnip."

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 300 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 Leesburgh 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 Flax-ter 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 Flax-ter of Paris.
A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One at fo, 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 Spring) 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 Ketton, 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 haythe. 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.

A PROPOSAL BY SAMUEL BISHOP, For publishing by Subscription,  LETTERS ON THE  Elementary Principles OF  EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton,
Author of the "Memoirs of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have, within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, is of its pre-eminently useful. Led by her subject into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed these powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied these subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectation. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which those inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated.
[An Extract from the above Work.]
"From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the inspection of the authors, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race."
The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type.
II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
*** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay.
Subscriptions received by the Publisher.
