MR. ELLIOT TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
LETTER X.
I am accused of abandoning the principles of liberty, and of joining in a plot for the division of the union. The charges are false, and the authors of them know them to be false.
Who are the real friends of liberty, of genuine, regulated liberty? Is the frantic revolutionist a more rational friend of freedom than the sullen monarchist? Is the man who advocates peace and union to be considered as a disorganizer? But it is said that the federalists are all monarchists, and that the principles of republicanism and monarchy can no more be united, than oil and water can be mingled, or than the glare of day and the gloom of night can be amalgamated. A few years since my constituents were also professed federalists: I was myself a member of the little band who opposed in this district the administration of Mr. Adams. Should I dare to ask my constituents, were you, in 1798, when you supported federal candidates and federal measures, enemies to the rights of man, enemies to your own rights? They would instantly answer with indignation, No---we have always been republicans. It is then more than common enmity to conclude that the immense majority of those who still profess the principles of federalism are also republicans? Among the many thousands who have left the federal standard, how many have told us that they had been concerned in a plot for the destruction of liberty? Not one. Monarchical principles are confined to a few individuals in our country, and among those individuals may be placed some of our most ardent republicans.
It is said that the idea of an union of the people of the northern states in one great political interest must produce a division of the union: and those who say this look with perfect complacency upon that gigantic mass of influence which a similar union in the southern states has already created. In other words to preserve the union the southern states must be united as one man, and the northern must be divided and distracted.
Miserable sophism! Absurd and foolish dogma! Let men here repeat that a perfect union among ourselves would induce us to demand no more than our due share of political weight, which would then be yielded to us, and the union would be preserved, and even rendered more secure.
Various are the opinions of men of reflection in relation to the probable effects of the acquisition of Louisiana. Upon no subject have I found it more difficult to form an opinion for myself. Some believe that a commercial connection will take place between the eastern and the western states; that the people of New England will carry to those of the Mississippi the productions of all other parts of the world, and export for them their own productions ---and that this commercial connection will produce a political one, favorable to us, & unfavorable to the southern states. Others argue that the inhabitants of the west will be a shipbuilding and agricultural people; that their vicinity to the West India markets will enable them to supercede us in some of the most profitable branches of our commerce; and that the idea of a political connection with them, though splendid, is perfectly delusive. The prospect indeed is rather gloomy. But putting Louisiana out of the question, the number of representatives in congress to which the southern states are entitled, on account of their slaves, must forever secure them a majority in the councils of the union. The slaves are not represented, but three fifths of their number added to the number of free persons and this determines the number of representatives from the state. Were the slaves made free we could not refuse upon our own principles, to allow them representatives; but deprived as they are of all civil rights, and considered merely as property, it would be as just that the Vermont farmer should be entitled to a representation for his cattle, as the Virginiian planter for his negroes.
No northern man who has caught a single spark of freedom's flame from the altar of patriotism, but must wish that these things were not so, such however is the constitution of our country, that sacred instrument, which I hope never to see violated in any of its essential principles; and as it is not to be expected that the people of the southern states will ever agree
to an alteration fraught with ruin to their interests, it is to be hoped that the subject will not again be agitated.
We are continually told that there is no dissimilarity of interests between the people of the northern and those of the southern states. When we prove that clashing interests do exist, we are lulled to sleep by syren songs & melodious eulogies upon southern magnanimity. We are told our brethren will take better care of us than we could take of ourselves. On this subject the contempt with which northern representatives are treated, the trifling attention paid to any measures which they propose, the attempt to extinguish the state balances, to abolish the loan offices, and to reject the Georgia claims, the additional duties upon commerce, the late alteration of the constitution, and the other alterations which are contemplated, speak a language more expressive than all the thunders of eloquence. As the dernier resort of the alarmists we are told that the immortal Washington cautioned the people against those who should attempt to create geographical parties. He did so. He had in view the great and general interests of the nation, the constitution itself, and not those minor interests which exist in the very nature of things; for, in the high character of president of the national convention, he had before told us that "the constitution is the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deference and concession, which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable." If however the sagacious mind of Washington did not anticipate the present state of things, that circumstance can form no argument against our accommodating our conduct to the events and prospects of the times.
It cannot be too often repeated that "man is man." Did the northern states possess power, their political system would probably be analogous to that which now governs the southern. But power is departed from us; and I hope that we shall never attempt to regain it by any other than honest means. The editor of the principal paper published at the seat of government, an honest and candid man, has not been able to conceal his exultation at the prospect of northern humiliation. Admitting that the northern states no longer possess political weight, he asks, with an air of triumph, "And why does the south rule the north? Because the south is united and the north is divided." I have just said the same myself: The north gives up and the south keeps not back. There are men who are less honest on this subject than the editor of the National Intelligencer. I am assured from unquestionable authority, that it is part of the system of some young and ambitious politicians of the south to add fuel to the flame of party spirit in the north, that they may divide and govern us, as the Romans divided and governed the Greeks.
It may be arrogant in me to declare that the opinions which I now avow will one day command the universal assent of the people in the northern quarter of the union: But as I always make it a point to say what I think, I shall hazard the assertion.
If at a future day new parties should arise in our country, and we should be divided into northern men and southern men, instead of federalists and democrats, would any one doubt the propriety and patriotism of supporting the northern interest in all its constitutional and reasonable rights? Should we be divided into large state and small state parties, would it be contended that the people of the north ought not to embrace the interest of the small states? Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode-Island, and Connecticut by an irrevocable law of nature, must always be small states. Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, though now small, will very soon be in the first class of large states.
Hence the absurdity of the triumph of the friends of the late amendment of the constitution, upon its unanimous adoption by the small states of the south and west. Should we be divided into a constitutional, and an anti constitutional party, could any one censure a "union of honest men," for the purpose of preserving the constitution? As well might it be contended that men of different political parties ought not to unite, to stop the progress of a destructive fire or inundation, or to repulse an invading enemy! And it requires no prophetic powers to predict the existence of all these different parties in our country, in a greater or less degree, within the course of a very few years.
Few individuals of the republican party suffered more, in their feelings, at least, from federal persecution, than myself. I am willing, however, to sacrifice even my just resentments upon the altar of my country. But I will never sacrifice my principles.
Some of those who declaim the most violently against me at this moment, were federalists while federalism was fashionable. My constituents will remember that important fact when they hear the future declamations of those gentlemen. Others have changed. I remain unaltered. I repeat it, I advocate the northern union with a view to the preservation instead of the destruction of the constitution. And I advocate it upon republican principles alone. I will oppose it whenever it is attempted to be established upon principles favorable to aristocracy or monarchy.
JAMES ELLIOT.
NEW YORK, June 22,
IMPORTANT.
The schooner Roger William, captain Brown, arrived yesterday in fourteen days from St. Bartholemews. By her we have positive information of the arrival at Barbadoes, of a British fleet of eighteen sail of the line, under the command of rear admiral sir R. Bickerton. Lord Nelson who commanded the above squadron off Toulon, had gone home in consequence of ill-health.
We have also information that another French squadron of 14 sail of the line had arrived at Martinique, two of which had gone to Guadalupe. It was said that their first object would be Antigua and Trinidad.
[Sir Richard Bickerton, was a rear admiral under Nelson, and is on board the Royal Sovereign, of 100 guns.]
Captain Thompson, of the brig Horatio, in fifteen days from St. Croix, confirms the above news, except, that the intelligence at St. Croix was, that a British fleet of seventeen sail of the line had arrived off St. Lucia ---And that an additional French squadron of 12 sail of the line, &c. had arrived off Martinique. This captain Thompson had from an American merchant at St. Croix, the day before he sailed, and it was believed there.
We have seen a letter from Lisbon of the 2d of May, stating there were twelve sail of the line at Ferrol, ready for sea with troops on board.
Captain Fowler, of the schooner Mariner, arrived yesterday from Martinique, sailed from thence the 1st June, at which time no French fleet had arrived, as reported by captain Brown, from St. Bartholemews.

TUESDAY, JUNE 25.
DIED on Thursday last, June 20th, on his passage from the West-Indies, Mr. EUGENE HANLEY, formerly of this town.
Hostilities against the United States.
During the last war between Great Britain and France, the United States were regarded in a manner as the common property of the contending powers, and the trade of our citizens was, wherever met with, made their general prey; frequently without observing the mere forms of law, which, when resorted to, were only made the external cloak to cover robbery; and in almost every instance the name of justice when used, was only used to give a sanction to plunder, to legalize piracy. The English and the French strove with emulation which could load us with the heaviest wrongs; and not only did they participate between them the spoils of our merchants; not only did they glory in trampling upon our national rights and dignities; but even the humiliated Spaniard, who trembled alternately at the frown of both, encouraged by their impunity, dared to imitate their outrageous example; 'till, roused at last by a sense of wrongs, our nation assumed a tone and position which by clearly indicating what she was capable of doing, obtained a temporary relief from oppression; and even compelled other nations to assume towards her the language of respect.
The aspect of strength which she then displayed, has long since ceased to be presented to her enemies. The manly glow of indignation, the resentful frown of insulted honor, the exulting consciousness of native energy devoted to the defence of its dearest rights, which then overspread her countenance and gave it beauty and lustre, have been supplanted by the palid and sickly hue of dastardly timidity, which trembles at the sound of its own voice, and shrinks even at the shadow of its own arm. We need not flatter ourselves that this change has passed unnoticed; nor need we wonder that we are now suffering its inevitable consequences. When we ceased to be at all an object of apprehension, we ceased also to be an object of respect. It is in vain that we are told of the attention and difference paid to just nations: it is not left to be ascertained at this day, that nations know no rule or restraint but that which the sword imposes on them.
Our glorious and peace-loving Congress, in their great wisdom, in order to preserve the property and liberty of their fellow citizens, to compel foreign nations to pay to our flag that inviolable reverence which is due to the symbol of a "just nation," and as Mr. Johnny Randolph would say, "to vindicate the injuries" done or to be done in disregard of our neutral rights, passed a very energetic law, which threatens to do the devil and all to those who shall infringe any of its injunctions, by committing outrages upon the persons of sailors under the protection of that flag. No doubt those gentlemen considered that this mode of enforcing their rights to justice and to respect, would prove equally economical and efficacious. That no British or French ship of war, public or private, would have the temerity to violate a law of the United States, and incur the risk of being hung up by the neck, as a terror to evil-doers; according to the severe chastisement enacted by that resplendent addition to our criminal code, entitled "An act for the more effectual preservation of peace in the ports and harbours of the United States, and in the waters under their jurisdiction," framed for the purpose of punishing offences committed on the high seas. But though the Congress may, as often as the whim seizes them, declare the whole ocean is formed of waters under their jurisdiction, they will find to their cost, that their sovereignty over it would be much better secured even by the authority of six seventy-four-gun ships, than by the promulgation of ten thousand such statutes: aye, and that this manner of maintaining their rights, would still be much more consistent with their beloved economies.
While our democratic newspapers are daily boasting of the sacred and unexampled regard paid to the United States by foreign nations, they are giving the practical lie to their own vaunts, by daily reports of acts of the most atrocious injustice and outrage, committed by the cruisers, public and private, of Great Britain and France, upon our defenceless merchantmen, not only on the high seas (vainly declared by congress to be under our jurisdiction) but in the mouths of our harbors; as at Charleston and New-York. We shall not, at this time, go back in

search of examples of the repeated wrongs sustained by our trading ships, from French and British vessels, but particularly from the latter; of which we have more reason to complain, as they are inflicted on us by the national ships of Great Britain. With one seeking more remote instances, we have one immediately before us, in the case of the ship Nancy, of Charleston, S. Carolina, commanded by William Brewster; which will serve as a strong example of the daring villainy of those who feel that they have the power to trample on us, and that they may exert this power without fear of being called to account for it. In the treatment experienced by the Nancy, although the greatest loss has proceeded from the French, yet the greatest wrong, the greatest injury proceeded from the British; who not only robbed the ship of her sailors, and those of their liberties, but in a cowardly and brutal manner assaulted a vessel incapable of resistance, and attempted the murder of all on board. If such acts of open hostility have not power to rouse our administration, it may be fairly pronounced lost to honor and shame.
From capt. Brewster's protest we learn that he sailed from Port-au-Prince, in St. Domingo, on the 28th of February, bound to Charleston; that on the 3d of March, Cape Hait bearing east, distant about four leagues, the ship was brought to by a ship under French colors, which proved to be his Britannic majesty's ship La Desiree, Whaley, commander, and from which a boat was sent on board the Nancy, with an officer, who having mustered the crew, impressed the boatswain, gunner, and carpenter, together with nine men of the crew of the Nancy, and after some very abusive and threatening language, wanted to force the master of the Nancy to give him seventeen hundred dollars for the wages of the men impressed; which being refused, he went on board the frigate La Desiree, and began a smart fire of musketry and large swivels on the Nancy, although without sail; and under a very fresh blowing wind, the shot going through the sails of the Nancy and galling her rigging very much: after some time the fire discontinued, when the frigate sent one of her boats on board, and forced the master of the Nancy to take on board the frigate the sum of one thousand and twenty-five dollars, which sum not being sufficient to pay all the men impressed, they brought the master on board of his ship again, and made him take on board of the frigate a further sum of five hundred and twenty-four dollars and 34, together with all his papers, receipts, clearances, &c. &c. Which papers being strictly overhauled, and the money tendered by captain Brewster, he was sent on board the Nancy about midnight. During the time captain Brewster was on board of the frigate, the boat of the Nancy being astern, broke and was lost. On the 5th of March, they had the frigate Desiree in sight, and about nine o'clock P. M. she bore down, fired two cannon shot, close to them, and shortly after commenced a fire of musketry on them; they then boarded the Nancy in their boat, and after some excesses left her to proceed, about ten o'clock P. M. On the same day about five o'clock P. M. they saw the island of Henegua in their weather bow and bore away, running under the west end of that island with all sail set. On the 6th following at three o'clock P. M. saw a sail bearing down upon them, which after coming near enough, was observed to be a privateer schooner; not being able to run from her nor to defend ourselves, having but twenty men left on board, hauled up their courses and took in all light sails. The privateer proved to be the schooner Perseverance, from Guadalupe, with four hundred and one eighteen in a circle, Joseph Rodineaux, master, with ninety six men; who immediately took possession of the Nancy, and proceeded for the island of St. Martin, where they arrived at Maragal on Sunday the 24th of March, the privateer keeping them company into port. The Nancy was immediately stripped, and in 4 days time the whole of her cargo discharged; the captain, William Brewster, and second mate John Kennan, being kept prisoners on board the ship until the 27th, when they, together with the boatswain's mate, were brought on shore attended by two men of the crew of the privateer, before an officer by whom they were severally examined, after which they were sent on board the ship again, and remained there until the 29th, when they were sent up to the island of St. Barthole, where they arrived on Saturday the thirtieth about ten o'clock in the forenoon, no condemnation or other papers, except a pass for that island having been obtained at the said island of St. Martin.
[Norfolk Ledger.]
British Treaty. —We have been struck with some passages in an article which appeared in the Aurora on Monday last, upon the subject of our commercial intercourse with Great Britain. As to the reception which Jay's treaty met with among the democrats, from the highest to the lowest, we need not say a word; it is well known to every school boy. It is well known, that their first formal and vigorous denunciations of General Washington were grounded upon his consent to ratify that treaty, which, as they asserted, humbled us at the feet of Great Britain. About two years ago all the odious provisions of that treaty, namely, the last seventeen articles, expired by their own limitation, and the day of their expiration was hailed in the Aurora, as another day of emancipation to this country, almost as important as the day upon which Washington retired from the chief magistracy. Now mark the sequel. The Aurora of Monday says:
"We may conclude, from the following paragraph in a late London paper, which gives us the only information we have yet on this subject, that our minister at London [Monroe] has never yet suspended his negotiations for the formation of a treaty of commerce, and that it has terminated, not in the adoption of new commercial arrangements, but in agreement to CONTINUE the former treaty for one year." !!!
Here the reader is doubtless prepared for one of those volleys of democratic scurrility which would be sufficient to overwhelm poor Monroe, and render him the object of all that popular detestation which was wrought up against Mr. Jay. No such thing. The gentle writer, after a few comments upon the provisions of the treaty proceeds:
"No insinuation is here intended to be conveyed, that our negotiator at London has not acted with the WISEST POLICY when he embraced this treaty. Rather than see all our vessels excluded from their ports (in the W. Indies) it was the wisest policy to consent that none over seventy tons should be admitted."
It is in vain to attempt a comment. There are no words in our language adequate to express the abandoned profligacy which such conduct indicates. If the democrats possessed the least portion of honesty or shame, such a triumph on our part would be worth enjoying. But we know them too well to expect that this detection of their hypocrisy, will occasion them one single blush. Indeed any one of their leaders, at the time they were bawling to the people to "kick the d—d treaty to h—l" would have felt no confusion in acknowledging, in private conversation, that the treaty was a good one, and that the object of the democrats in clamoring against it was merely to diminish the popularity of Gen. Washington's administration.
One pitiful trick in the manner of announcing this new treaty negotiated by Mr. Monroe, deserves notice. It is said that his negotiations have terminated in "an agreement to CONTINUE the former treaty." To continue a treaty, which for two years, has had no existence! This will hardly answer to catch democratic gulls. No, the commercial treaty had expired, and left the two nations exactly in the same situation as though it never existed; a new one was to be formed under the auspices of those who had burnt Mr. Jay in effigy, and denounced Gen. Washington. What have they done? They have made a new treaty exactly in the same words. That's all.
Female Drefs. —The government of Switzerland have addressed the following circular letter, dated the 18th of last month, to all the lieutenants:
"The advocate and lesser council of the canton of Fribourgh see, with great displeasure, that in some parts of our canton, the fair sex have renounced morality, which is their brightest ornament, and introduced and adopted those costumes, which are foreign from our manners, and contrary to public decency. Those fashions, extremely foolish and ridiculous, must inevitably make a dangerous impression on a people who have not yet entirely renounced those manners which distinguished their ancestors. They contribute to the contamination of public morality."
"Adopted with blind enthusiasm, and followed with fury by the pleasure loving crowd, what fatal effects may not be produced to those whose education being neglected, are but feebly secured against the allurements of vice. We tremble for the moment when morality shall disappear!"
"This public scandal has so much excited the attention of ecclesiastical authority, that they have addressed us to solicit our attention to repress, by the most efficacious means, this growing evil. Their means will be without effect, so long as those who, in the interior of their families; those to whom God and nature have given the most sacred duties of inculcating virtue, neglect or seriously reform themselves. A general remedy must discover the existence of the evil, the knowledge of which is always dangerous and obnoxious to those who may be really ignorant of it; even the publicity of it is a scandal which ought to be avoided."
"To retain as much as possible simplicity of manners in our canton, and to avoid such threatening inconveniences, it appears to us, that the only efficacious means consist in the timely interference of the tribunal of morals, consequently the justices of peace, as presidents of these tribunals, will receive from them the following instructions:
"If a person of the female sex dress in such a manner as to offend decency and morality, the
justice of the peace, as president of the tribunal of manners, must address the parents, guardians, or husbands to engage them to exert that power which is given to them by nature and the laws, to bring the persons back to the paths of propriety and prudence, and apprise them that if they still continue refractory, they must cite them before the tribunal of morals."
"And if their representations are ineffectual, or if the weakness of parents, guardians, or husbands, afford no hope of amendment, and that the exhortations of the justices of peace should prove of no effect, then shall these menaces be executed, and such contaminated women shall be made to appear before the tribunal of manners, which will censure them for their irreligions and immoral conduct, exhort them to fulfil their duties, and represent to them with energy, how ridiculous and indecent is that dress which, beside the scandal that it occasions, exposes a virtuous woman to the danger of being confounded in the public eyes with those unhappy females who justly merit general contempt. [La Glesse du Cabinet.]
THE MONITOR.—AN EXTRACT.
"To err sometimes is nature; to rectify error is always glory," said the illustrious Washington, as he extended his hand to a man whom he had offended, and acknowledging he had been in the wrong. Did we feel the truth of this sentiment and see the nobleness of such conduct, how much disputing, contention, and wrangling might be avoided—how much our happiness might be increased. But instead of confessing and retracting our fault, as did the magnanimous Washington, how many of us, after we had discovered our errors, still cherish them, and roll them as sweet morsels under our tongues! Our pride resists the idea of acknowledging that we have been deceived or duped, and we had rather persist forever in the wrong, than confess we have ever been in it.
Such obstinacy is, however, in the highest degree censurable. We are all liable to be led astray by the errors of our own imagination, or the falsehoods, misrepresentations, and artifices of our fellow men. This liability is the common lot of humanity. It is no crime—it is no disgrace. But after mature reflection, or better information, has discovered to us our error, then it is both criminal and disgraceful not to abandon it and embrace the truth. Let those who have been deceived by artful and designing men, and who have been hitherto prevented by a false shame from acknowledging the deception, and turning from the error of their ways, remember the saying of Washington—"To err sometimes is nature; to rectify error it always glory."
QUIDNUNCKERT;
OR, THE LOVE OF NEWS.
[From the London Morning Herald.]
MR. EDITOR, GREAT as the change has certainly been in manners, arising from the military arrangements of the present day, honest John Bull has not entirely quitted his antient pursuits. It was always observed, that the tendency of war was to encrease the number of politicians; and the present has been so happily contrived that John's political bias yet remains, although every town is a garrison and every field is a camp. His attachment to quidnuncery is as constant as ever. Our general system of defence, while it puts arms into the hands of the young and active, allows persons above a certain age to remain at home, and contribute their wisdom only to the public service. Hence, while the young are learning to handle the musket, or trail the pike, the old, who are unfit for such robust manœuvres, are brandishing reports, and grappling with conjectures; now sitting in council on the probability of invasion, or calculating by figures the moment of its approach; now deciphering the enigmas of a Margate letter, or, with philosophic curiosity, taking the gauge and depth of a newspaper paragraph.
Luckily for this ancient love of news, the desire to know the issue of what has never been contrived, and the event of what has never happened, the papers, while they acknowledge their ignorance of the real affairs abroad, draw most plentifully on their invention, to supply the place of facts, well knowing that the political appetite, while it is as strong, is less delicate than the natural. A true quidnunc is never truly fed, although he may sometimes allow that he is satisfied. He is all appetite, and no digestion. There have been few battles that have lasted more than a day; and the largest West-India Island is seldom more than a breakfast. Hence it becomes necessary for his caterers to study French cookery, make a little go a great way, and serve up the same articles under different shapes.
At present they magnify or diminish the invading force, according to rules which it is impossible to understand, and which therefore afford wonderful food for domestic politicians, or for those more sagacious gentlemen, who frequent coffee-houses, and whose opinions are supposed to have great weight, because they are delivered with a loud voice, and who think they are unanimous, only because they all speak at one time. It may be remembered that when we were at
first threatened with invasion, the enemy's boats amounted to eight thousand, each capable of carrying one hundred men! This was a force with which, as our form of prayer states, the enemy, "might have swallowed us up!" it could not therefore last; because they who thus obligingly furnished eight thousand gun boats, with eight hundred thousand men, found themselves unable to support their existence. Curious people naturally asked, where were the harbours for the boats, and the camps for the men? and it not being easy, even by private correspondence to answer those questions, a cypher was struck off the number of the boats, and eight hundred succeeded pretty well, while the men disappeared in such numbers, that we have never heard of one fourth since. Of late, however, even that number of boats decreased considerably, that at the moment we are writing, the best informed of our papers are not quite certain whether the invasion is to be attempted in boats at all! This is but a slight sketch of the vast variety of rumours with which John Bull, senior has been tantalized for some months past. We might add how frequently ministers have been censured for not doing which they never intended. The younger branches, however, of the family have, with more wisdom, been preparing themselves for any force that may appear, and have been more anxious to number their own battalions, than the enemy's boats!
Yours, &c.

THE FARMER.
HAVING suffered greatly by insects destroying the plants in my garden, and particularly cucumbers, and having also learned a remedy for the evil, you are requested to publish the following, for the benefit of the public:
Last year I was more unfortunate than common in the loss of my cucumber plants, three successive crops having been wholly cut off. But towards the end of June, having heard that spirits of turpentine would preserve them, I planted seed the fourth time, and as soon as the plant had begun to get forward, I procured the spirit and mixed with about the same quantity of water with which I lightly touched the ground round the plants; and the consequence was that neither the bugs nor worms molested the vines, and my crop of cucumbers was as good as any I ever had.

Messrs. EDITORS, YOU are requested to publish in your paper the following calculation of a solar eclipse, which I have selected from Poor Richard's Almanack for the present year; and as the same phenomenon is represented as invisible in our Almanacks, it may gratify many of your readers to be informed of the fact.
This eclipse will happen on Wednesday, June 26, (the present year) in the afternoon of that day. The sun will on that day go down eclipsed in the following manner, viz.
The beginning will be at 55 minutes past five o'clock, in the evening, mean time; at which instant the moon will make her first ingress to the sun's north-west limb; and the sun will set at 34 minutes past 7, with an obscuration of almost 7 digits on his northern limb.
Notwithstanding there are only 39 minutes of time from the beginning of this eclipse to the setting of the sun, yet in consequence of the contrary motion of the penumbra and that of the place, the sun will be almost 7 digits eclipsed before he disappears in the horizon. This is contrary to what occurs in some cases, where the penumbra and the place over which it passes, moves in similar directions.

Valuable Property for Sale.
The subscriber being desirous of removing to the western country, offers for sale, the following Tracts of LAND, in Fairfax county, Virginia, viz:
The Tract on which he resides, containing about 740 acres, 5 miles below Alexandria, and within one mile of Potomac river, in an agreeable neighborhood; the situation pleasant and remarkably healthy; the land level and well adapted to the production of Indian corn, wheat, and other small grain. The improvements are, a large and commodious dwelling house, two stories high, 54 feet long and 35 feet wide, with four rooms and a passage on a floor, a piazza nine feet wide on each front, the full length of the house, and an excellent cellar under the whole house divided into four rooms and a passage; a good kitchen, meat-house, dairy, ice-house, and every other necessary building, all in good repair, with a well of excellent water; a good garden, apple & peach orchard, and about 40 acres of excellent timothy meadow, and as much more may be made at a very small expence: Also, an overseer's house, negro quarters, a ranary, &c.
One other Tract, containing about 1250 acres, 6 miles below Alexandria, divided into two farms sufficient to work 9 or 10 hands on each: The buildings on these farms consist only of overseers' houses, negro quarters, granaries, &c. There are 40 or 50 acres of good timothy meadow well enclosed, and a great deal more may be made at a trifling expence; the land very level and fertile, with an abundance of timber. This tract is allowed, by those who know it well, to be equal, if not superior, to any tract of the same extent in this part of the country. It will be sold entire, or divided, as may be found most convenient.
One other Tract near the last mentioned one, containing 462 acres, rented to tenants at will; a considerable portion of which is level and the soil good. There are on it, two or three beautiful and commanding situations for buildings, and a meadow from which one of the tenants sells from 15 to 20 tons of hay a year.
Another Tract, of about 325 Acres, 9 or 10 miles below Alexandria, through which the stage road leading from thence to Richmond passes: This would be an excellent stand for a tavern, there being none at this time between Alexandria and Colchester, a distance of 16 or 18 miles: Also,
One other Tract near the last, containing about 400 acres. Both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will; they produce good corn, wheat, and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order, from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay. For terms, apply to the subscriber, five miles below Alexandria.

For SALE and to RENT.
I wish to sell 900 acres of Land, on Sugar Land Run ; being a moiety of 1800 acres, lying on the edge of Loudoun, and in Fairfax county, about 20 miles from Alexandria, 19 from George-Town, and about a mile and one quarter from the river—lies level—It has an abundance of fine timber on it equal to any in the country, and no tract of land can be more copiously supplied with innumerable springs of the finest water; there is a part of it laid down in fine clover paddocks, with a good orchard and several buildings fit for tenants. This and was deeded to me, several years ago, by Ferdinand Fairfax, Esquire —the title indisputable, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land shewed to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber.
I wish to Rent, for 5 or 6 years,
An ISLAND in the Potomac,
About fifteen miles from George-town, Containing 216 acres; most of which are cleared: I am told, by those who have been in Kentucky, that it is equal to any land in that state, producing from 10 to 12 barrels of corn per acre in a tolerable season.

The subscriber will shew the property; or, if he be absent, Mr. James G. Evans, living thereon, will attend. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable property, but some pressing demand which I am anxious to discharge.
The Conditions of the Sale will be—
One-half of the purchase money in hand, the other half in 9 or 18 months, bearing interest from the day of sale; approved security will be required. Possession will be given of the Mill, &c. immediately, and the Land as soon as the crop is off; and the latter place on Christmas next.
