NOVANGLUS.
IN some of the States there are statutes enacted at an early period, to exclude A- theists, and Deists, on conviction, from of- fice. This shows the sense our ancestors had of the nature and tendency of the cor- rupt opinions which distinguish those un- happy men, and of their pernicious influ- ence on society. Their opinions had, in- deed, at the time those laws were enacted, produced very little practical effect; but experience has fully evinced, that our an- cestors were right in theory. It is now generally admitted, that the writings of Philosophists have done more to produce the revolutions which have of late torment- ed Europe, and threaten nothing less than the total extinction of all regular govern- ment in that quarter of the globe, than the sword of France. Those writings, propa- gated with the greatest zeal and industry among the people, have corrupted public opinion, with respect to religion and gov- ernment—they have inculcated the senti- ment, that these are a curse rather than a blessing to society; and thus they have paralyzed the nations of Europe, especially those on the continent. The same writ- ings are diffusing their deadly influence through the United States; and have done more than any other single cause to create disaffection to the existing order of things, and a certain frenzy for innovation, which marks the present period.
But it may be said, that men, who have renounced revealed religion, have frequent- ly been useful, and have often acted their parts well in high and important stations; that this has sometimes been the case is granted; but still, the celebrity which eminent station has given to their corrupt opinions, has, it is believed, injured, much more than their services have promoted, the public interest. It has indeed often been objected, that these laws, and all o- thers, which punish men for mere opinion, are oppressive; and it must be admitted there would be force in this objection, if there was no connection between opinion and practice; experience, however, shows, that the reverse of this is true. Opinion, leads to practice. If a person should stu- diously propagate the opinion, that mur- der or theft was innocent, whenever a man should suppose an important advantage either private or public, might be attained by the deed; common sense would dictate, that the person ought to be placed in a si- tuation, in which he could not put his o- pinion into practice, or infuse it into o- thers; much more, that he ought not to be armed with the influence of office; or, if one should teach others that any private man had a right to assassinate the Chief Magistrate, if he should suppose the pub- lic good required it, we should deem it improper for such a one to go at large; we should not think it safe to wait till the deed was perpetrated, or attempted, either by himself, or by some other madman prompted by him.
It would not do to say, his opinion hurts no man; it breaks no man's leg, or picks his pocket: Or, if one should advance the opinion, that religion and government were a curse, it would not surely be proper to make him a bishop, or a magistrate. There are opinions, then, which may and ought to be restrained by law; certainly, there may be such as ought to disqualify for office. The principle then of these laws is correct; their expediency, howev- er, may be doubted; except as a stan- dard of public opinion, and a national ho- mage to God and his Son. The doubt arises from the fleeting nature of opinions, the difficulty of proof, and the partiality of the remedy.—But if the men described in these laws cannot, in many cases, be convicted by them; and so, as laws, they must be always wholly inoperative; yet, it will not follow, that they may not be convicted and excluded from office by pub- lic opinion. These men are well known:
they are no longer solicitous to wear the mask; out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh—they rail at the cler- gy—they calumniate the good—they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities—they promise men liberty, but are themselves the servants of corruption. The state of things in Europe, and in this country, shows the nature and tendency of their principles in character as legible as if written with a sun-beam. But, that they ought to be kept from availing themselves of office is evident, not only from the ge- neral state of things, but also from the na- ture of the opinions which they embrace, in themselves considered.
An Atheist denies the being of a God; he of course annihilates all moral obliga- tion; he must consider virtue and vice as mere empty names, and not as relations resulting from the nature of things—he, therefore cannot feel the obligations of of- fice—oaths cannot bind his conscience; he ought then to be excluded from office; un- less indeed it can be made to appear, con- trary to all experience, that men are im- pelled to what is called right action, a- gainst the power of all temptation, by rec- titude of nature. If there was in men a moral sense of the beauty of virtue and deformity of vice sufficient, in itself, to im- pel them to right conduct, it would super- cede the necessity of law in all cases what- ever. The existence of law then demonstrates that a moral sense in men is inadequate to produce such an effect.
A Deist admits the being of a God, and it may be, a future state of retribution; but, rejecting all revelation, he stands up- on no better ground than that of all other pagans. The doctrine of the unity of God, which revelation teaches, he cannot prove. There may be, for ought he knows, two Gods; the one the author of good; the other the author of evil; as many of the oriental nations have held for ages, and continue to hold to this day; or there may be hundreds, as the Romans, Grecians, and other ancient nations have held: Or, if, with those nations, he could suppose one, as the ancient Jupiter, to be supreme above the rest, he may have orig- inated from some older God and God- des by the same process as mortals proceed one from another; he may hold his em- pire by conquest and usurpation, as Ju- piter was supposed to hold his; or, like him, he may have been caught by his wife in the act of adultery with a fair prostitute, either mortal or immortal.—
At least these things may be so, as far as the corrupted reason of the deist can prove to the contrary. He may admit the re- tributions of a future world; if he does, he must be wholly in the dark as to their nature, degree, or duration: They will, of consequence, have little or no practical effect, and much less upon the modern de- ist, than they had upon the ancient pa- gans; because the latter generally believ- ed in the fabled torments of Tartarus; which the former, in the present enlight- ened period of the world, would despise, as much almost, as he does the hell tor- ments of the Bible. But whatever vague notions the deist may, at different periods, have of future retribution, still, as he has no standard of religious opinion, he may dismiss them as unessential in his scheme. At present, he has deeply imbibed the phi- losophism of the age, and consoles himself with the forced hope, that death is an eter- nal sleep. Whatever difference, then, be- tween the atheist and the deist at the pre- sent day, that difference will have no effect on their conduct as citizens or as men.
If the prevalence of these opinions threatens the total subversion of the civil and religious institutions, which our ances- tors have transmitted to us, as the price of blood; then it is high time for exertion. If the case indeed, be desperate, we may fold our hands, and wait the approach of our fate, without a struggle. But this can by no means be the case, unless we are wanting to ourselves. These men, though

increasing prospects, number: fort, be ex and, of co might be their numb vent it: I be the leth description recourse to ourselves w our affairs pect--our c nally preva perhaps need enemy is ma is vigilant, of his object if he should our neglect t not the ineffi bed.

The wind after three o'clock, began to haul slowly round to the eastward, but without any diminution of its violence indeed, we are rather of opinion that its violence was augmented. Objects, at a small distance from the shore, were now invisible or indistinct, the spray rising from the water in such clouds as to obscure every thing that was near it. In fact the harbor resembled three torrents, of different densities, passing with inconceivable velo-
city. First the water, from the accumulation at the east end of the harbor, by being drove in from the bank and raised 6 feet above its common level, acquired an extremely rapid motion down the harbor. The foam and spray next, forming almost an opaque cloud, spun along with the swiftest possible degree of visible motion, and form a stratum, as it were, of 20 or 30 feet deep: and over that the rain passed in a rarer medium, in a perfectly horizontal direction; and appeared incapable of descending from its projectile velocity. By half past four the wind got round to the east and kept veering round with the sun--a certain sign that the gale would not continue long. Its violence, however, as yet was unabated.
Providentially, before it acquired any forthright, the tide had fallen, and the vessels having all been driven up at high water, none of them were blown off; in which case they must have gone to sea; and probably would have been lost, with those in them. About an hour before sunset, the wind had shifted round to south or south by west, and still blew with great violence; but the town and harbor was so sheltered by the hills, that it was very little felt. By sunset it moderated--and by eight or nine at night, there was nothing remaining of it, but a fresh gale.
We thank God, before we proceed to recapitulate the damages sustained from the hurricane, that so few lives have been lost in the elemental strife, and craft of matter. We have heard but of two or three that were drowned, and none that lost their lives on the farre.
Of all the vessels in the harbour, 2 only rode out the storm, viz. the sloop Primrose, an American, and a Spanish vessel near the eastern fort. Between Evan's hill, and Western Water Battery, we counted 120 vessels stranded; besides which there were several sunk, and others crushed to pieces, and laying under other vessels, that we could take no account of.
The most convincing proof of the extreme violence of wind, and perhaps the best criterion we can adduce is, that the greater part of all the vessels had their masts blown away--not cut, but blown away by the board. The prize Guinea man lost all her's and her bow, rit, by the sheer force of the wind.
Several vessels we understand are bilged; and others, from the extreme difficulty that would attend getting them off, are abandoned. In general, however, we are in hopes, the stranded vessels will be afloat, without much difficulty or damage to their hull.
On shore, in the town, and its vicinity, the devastation was equally great; many valuable houses have been blown down, and all the fences and trees in general, laid level with the ground. Nearly one half of Mr. Joseph Hall's beautiful grove of cocoa nut trees, were destroyed, by being broken off near the butt--one of which we measured, and found it to be 7 feet 7 inches in circumference, just above the part where it was broken.
Mr. Ansel Ferguson's house, one of the largest in town, was blown down; and the roof, in falling had well nigh demolished Mr. Howie's house adjoining. Other new stone houses suffered considerably, from the mortar being in a moist state; and a great many wooden houses fell from the same cause, the stone underpinning not having had time to cement.
The sea, to the southward of fort Montague, made a breach through the sand hills, and has filled the extensive valley to be westward of it, many feet deep. It also rose five feet over the new eastern causeway, and the road, to the foot of Evan's hill; which it has materially injured. The eastern parade and burying place was completely overflowed by the rising of the water in the harbour; and the sea paid in a torrent, between the editor's house and the white ground, and the new road; it then found its way into the harbour, by passing over the causeway and the road, by captain Gibson's, where it has made a large gulley, and would have completely destroyed it, had not the shifting of the wind occasioned the water to fall in the upper part of the harbour.
To attempt to make an accurate estimation of the damages sustained by the inhabitants of Nassau, and its vicinity, would be the height of presumption: for, there is no person can say exactly what his own loss amounts to. If we may be permitted, however, to hazard an opinion, it is, that the aggregate loss sustained by the late hurricane, is not less than one hundred thousand pounds.
The following is the most accurate
statement we could collect of the vessels ashore:

Arrived yesterday, the schooner Hazard, cap. Mason, from the coast of Cuba. She has brought in the American schooner Experiment, Ricardson, from Salem, bound to the Havana.
BOSTON, August 13.
Orders have been received from the seat of government, for instituting a court martial to be held in this town, for the trial of Capt. Little, and several of the other officers of the Boston frigate, on the complaint of the officers of the French corvette Berceau.
The Supreme Judicial Court was opened in this town on Tuesday last. An excellent and appropriate charge was given to the grand jury, by his honor judge Paine. His remarks on the "Common Law of England," which has been recognized by the constitution of the commonwealth, were a learned and useful comment on its history and principles, and on its moral as well as practical adaptation to human concerns; and by not only considering it as a combination of the results of human wisdom, operating upon the events of human experience, but also by an ethical analysis of its maxims, supported and honored by the immemorial evidence of popular consent, this concluding clause of the charge amounted to an able, judicious, and conclusive justification of the common law, from that opprobrium, with which some persons have lately endeavored to blemish its mild, pure and righteous administration in this state.

Copy of a letter from Chinunibie, King of the Chickasaws, to brigadier general James Winchester.
Chickasaw Nation, June 6, 1801.
Friend and Brother, We received your letter informing us that you had completed running and marking the line between the white people and our nation, with a map of said line. We are glad the line is run, that no mistake can hereafter arise from ignorance of it--but am sorry to be informed that even within the short time since the running of the line, some of the white people have opened and marked a road through our land on one of the branches of Duck river, which heads opposite to Turnbull's creek; we hope sincerely that you will interfere to prevent a repetition of such aggressions.
In pursuance of a council of the principal chiefs.
CHINUNIBIE, King of the C. N.
By JOHN, M'KEE, Dep. Sup. & Agent of Indian Affairs. The Hon. Brig. Gen. J. Winchester.
The subscriber trusts nothing more than the publication of the foregoing letter will be necessary to stop the progress of the aggressions therein complained of--but if contrary to his expectation, any should so far forget what they owe to society, to humanity and to themselves, as to continue to commit new and other aggressions--the law to "regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and preserve peace on the frontiers," will be put in force against them.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 21.
By papers laid before the Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland it appears that in one year ending in October last, one million and eight hundred thousand quarters of corn, or fourteen millions, four hundred thousand bushels, had been imported into England; the expence of which was estimated at more than seven millions sterling. In the present year the importation will probably exceed that of the last. Fifteen million sterling paid in two years to foreign nations for bread, is no inconsiderable drawback on the profits of

national industry. Parliament is occupied in extending cultivation, by encouraging the inclosure of waste or common lands. This desirable object is however greatly embarrassed, with the claims of Bishop Paton, and incumbents to the tithes.
The East India Company, have had a controversy on the question of permitting the produce or commodities of India in which the company do not trade, to be transferred to England in India built ships.
On the one hand it is urged that by restricting the trade to the Company's British built ships, the freight is greatly enhanced; but the rights of the company are preserved and secured, and the British farmer duly encouraged. On the other, it is stated that to permit the merchants to charter India built ships, the right of the company will be endangered, lead to a spirit of colonization, and ultimately to the ruin of the Company. The wages of the Lascars or India seamen, are much lower than those of British seamen; but those who arrive in Great Britain cannot bear the climate, and many of them perish in winter. The question on a general ballot, was decided in favor of granting permission to employ India built ships.
Census of the District of Maine.
[The following is an official statement of the number of inhabitants in this district, by the census taken during the last year. In the year 1790, the total number of inhabitants amounted to 96,540—They now amount to 150,896—giving an increase of 54,356 during the last ten years.]
  County of York 37,720   Cumberland 37,921   Kennebec 24,394   Lincoln 30,100   Hancock, 16,315   Washington 4,436

The following is said to be a correct Census of the inhabitants of New Hampshire, as taken in 1791 and 1801, viz.
   Counties. 1791. 1801.     Rockingham 43,169 45,427   Strafford 23,601 45,427   Hillsborough 32,871 43,899   Cheshire 28,772 32,825   Grafton 13,472 23,093   Total 141,885 183,858   Increase 41,973  
By this statement it appears, that this state will be entitled to send to Congress two additional Representatives.
CULTIVATION OF THE VINE.
[The following proposition for establishing a VINE YARD in TENNESSEE, is extracted from a Nashville Paper.]
It is sincerely to be hoped that the Legislature of Tennessee will not be indifferent to an object, on the advancement of which so much of its internal wealth may depend. We believe that no soil in the Union is more fitted, than that of Tennessee, for the cultivation of the grape; nor is there an article, whose successful production is more likely to reward individual industry, and national patronage.
The period is certainly approaching, when it will be our interest to vary, as much as we can, our agricultural productions. Many of the present staples of the country, on an European peace, will be but in limited demand. In such circumstances it will be necessary , as our exports decrease, to lessen our imports. Indeed, independent of the effects of a general peace, the rapidity with which our numbers increase will greatly transcend the foreign demand for our productions. With the relative diminution of this demand, must decrease our consumption of foreign goods.
Among the most expensive articles drawn from Europe are wines and brandies. Of these we can produce more than we can consume. But it requires time, and the nurturing hand of wealth, to effect the object. That this assistance may be extended to foreigners, who have been attracted to our country, from a lively expectation of receiving it, and that while we remunerate their services, we may secure our own ultimate interests, must be the wish of every enlightened citizen.]
The subscriber offers to the state of Tennessee, the following proposition for the cultivation of the VINE.
1st. A sum of 10,000 dollars lent to me for ten years, without interest, by the state or individuals, which sum I engage to reimburse at the expiration of 10 years in cash.
2d. As soon as the money would be received, I would commence on the following plan, viz.
   Dollars.     Purchase negroes to the amount of 4600   Land within twenty miles of Nashville, 1000   Four horses, 2 fleers, 6 cows and calves, 6 fows and pigs, and 15 sheep, 350   Tools and farming utensils, 1000   Provisions until the first crop, 500   For unprovided things lent out on interest, 2550   Total, 10,000  
3d. At my own expence and risk, I will then plant on the premises, as soon as it could be ready, eight acres of a Vineyard, and afterwards as much as the hands could attend to.
4. Two years after receiving the above sum of money, I will take ten young men, white or black, belonging to those persons who furnished the money, as apprentices to the art of managing vines, and making wine and brandy, provided they remain and work two years on the farm, at the expiration of which term, they shall receive 2500 plants of the vine, being as many cuttings out of said vineyard. I will then take ten others on the same terms, and so on for 8 years—this being intended as interest for the above sum of 10,000 dollars.
5. I will give security for the money until the eight acres are planted; and then farm and negroes will be given in mortgage for it.
I will say nothing of the advantages of having the Vine cultivated in the country; they are so great and so advantageous to the public at large, that the state ought to be at the first expence. I have already made some important discoveries with respect to the climate, that I have not the least doubt of success: and for the sake of my own interest I would plant the species of Vine that would best suit the climate.
The inhabitants of Tennessee may, in my opinion, accept those propositions—I cannot make a Vineyard on any other plan as I am bound here a number of years. I should be obliged to hire on the farm I should make there a man of confidence, being acquainted with Vine dressing, and working under my direction; such a man is to come yet from Europe; But as I am waiting the arrival of four brothers, I could undertake to execute the above plan, even before their arrival, as it is after the 2d and 3d year, that Vine dressing requires practice & knowledge. Until my brothers would arrive I have with me here a countryman of mine who would answer the purpose.
The interest of the aforesaid 10,000 dollars would be largely paid by the 4th article, as 40 young men who would learn the art of Vigneron, would be worth 8,000 dollars; for I will receive no apprentice for less than 200 dollars, and two years of his service, and 100,000 vine plants they would receive, are worth 6000 dollars more, for I will sell no plants under six dollars per hundred, and those who bring them from Philadelphia, pay five dollars for some, and some others at ten dollars per hundred. Fourteen thousand dollars would be a handsome interest for ten thousand dollars, ten years.
J. J. DUFOUR. First Vineyard, } June 1st, 1801. }
From a London Paper. THE NILE, from CAIRO, to DAMIETTA. Extract of a letter.
On the 15th February, I went from Damietta in a canjoi, or boat built for pleasure. A faithful janissary, and an Arabian servant, accompanied me, all well armed; a very necessary caution on the banks of the Damietta, where attacks are continual.
We left Boulac about one o'clock, with a serene sky, and a heat as temperate as one of the finest days of our spring. The inundation had been over about six weeks, and the waters of the Nile insensibly decreased. The current being rather slow, and north wind blowing, the men were obliged to take to their cars. Wheat and barley began to ripen. The Indian millet was a foot high; and the third crop of lucerne was springing. Cucumbers and water melons spread their branches over the river banks, and beans were almost ripe. The foliage of the trees was ver-
dant, but differently tinted, and the orange and citron were in flower. Such was the aspect of the country on the 15th of February.
WATERS OF THE NILE. The waters of the Nile, lighter, softer, and more agreeable to the taste than any I know, greatly promote the health of the inhabitants. All antiquity acknowledges their excellence, and the people drink them with a kind of avidity, without ever being injured by the quantity. Being lightly impregnated with nitre, they are only a gentle aperient to those who take them to excess.
CLIMATE. An ancient historian says, that the Egyptians are the most healthy people on earth, which advantage they owe to the salubrity of the air, and temperature of the climate, which seldom varies. But Mr. Savary observes, that there is an unhealthy season in Egypt. From February till the end of May, the south winds blow at intervals, and load the atmosphere with a subtle dust (which makes breathing difficult) and drive before them pernicious exhalations. Sometimes the heat becomes insupportable, and the thermometer suddenly rises 12 degrees. The inhabitants call this season Rhawsin , fifty, because these winds are most felt for fifty days, between Easter and Whitson-tide. It must not, however, be supposed, that this wind, that this wind, which in a few hours corrupts meat and animal substances, blows fifty days. Egypt would become a desert. It seldom blows 3 days together, and sometimes is only an impetuous whirlwind, which rapidly passes and injures only the traveller overtaken in the desert. These whirlwinds of sands have buried caravans and armies.
Mr. Savary maintains, in opposition to Mr. Paw and other modern authors, that the plague is not a native disorder of Egypt, but is commonly brought from Smyrna and the Turkish ports. It always stops in the month of June, or those who catch it then are always cured. Excess of heat and cold seems to be equally destructive of this dreadful contagion; winter kills it at Constantinople, and summer in Egypt—it seldom reaches the polar circle, and never passes the tropic.
The European stands aghast with fear at the calamities it produces in Grand Cairo. This city is computed to contain from eight to nine hundred thousand inhabitants. They are so crowded that 200 citizens here occupy less space than 30 at Paris. The streets are very narrow, and always full of people, who crowd and jostle each other; and the passenger is sometimes obliged to wait several minutes before he can make his way. One person with the plague will communicate it to an hundred. The Mahometans die in their houses, public squares and streets, without one of them endeavoring to save himself. The Europeans who shut themselves up, and avoid communication, alone escape the general disaster.
All do not die who are attacked, but I have been assured, that the plague sometimes carries off 30,000 people from Grand Cairo.
The Turks use no precautions to prevent the plague; they say it is fate; nor is quarantine performed at one single port.
PE-KING.
The following account of the temperature of the Chinese Capital, is taken from Van Braam's Narrative of the Embassy of the Dutch East India Company to China:
Pe-king is in 39 degrees 55 minutes north latitude, and Philadelphia in 39 degrees 56, so that they may be said to be under the same parallel.
The winter is exceedingly cold and severe at Pe-king; and the nature of the winter at Philadelphia, is the same.
The winter begins earlier at Pe-king than at Philadelphia, but it is over equally late at both places.
At Pe-king the north wind is inexpressibly piercing and prevalent.
In the city of Philadelphia the same may be said of the south wind.
At Pe-king, water freezes before Reaumur's thermometer has fallen to the freezing point, a phenomenon also observed at Philadelphia.
There is, however, in general, less intensity, and still less duration in the cold at Philadelphia, than at Pe-king; since in the former city there are pretty frequently partial thaws which soften the surface of the ice (for it does not melt till at a degree of heat which would melt it in France.)
As to the summer, it is so hot at Pe-
king, that Reaumur's thermometer is often at 32 degrees above 0 (104 of Farenheit.)
In 1743, the heat was so excessive, that increasing from the 15th of July to the 25th, it raised the thermometer, the last day, to 35 degrees and a half (111 1/2 of Farenheit.) There died within that time at Pe-king eleven thousand four hundred persons, although refreshments were distributed in the streets.
In 1760, the heat killed eight thousand persons in less than two months.
Philadelphia is without doubt far from experiencing such a fatal degree of heat; but the thermometer often rises as high as 28 degrees of Reaumur (95 of Farenheit.) In the summer the days are burning hot; they are distressing and the nights are almost as hot as the days.
Another resemblance between the two places I am speaking of, is the sudden change in the state of the atmosphere—a change which sometimes amounts to ten or twelve degrees of Reaumur, in less than twenty-four hours, and frequently to five or six degrees in a very few hours. This variation is most frequently produced at Philadelphia by the north west wind.
The barometer also undergoes very sudden changes at Philadelphia. I have sometimes observed there from 6 to 7 lines difference in less than as many hours.
Pe-king is then at once colder and hotter than Philadelphia; but can the opinion adopted by the inhabitants of the latter city, concerning the favourable alteration that is to take place in both seasons, be considered as well founded, after what we know of Pe-king, which, notwithstanding the clearing of the land some thousand years back, still remains the same.
I am aware that it may be said that Naples and Madrid, which are nearly under the same parallel of latitude as Pe-king and Philadelphia, enjoy notwithstanding a very different temperature from that of those two cities. But I believe that we may conclude from that very circumstance, that the clearing of the land, from which alone a change of climate seems to be expected in America, is not the only cause that operates in producing a particular temperature; and in spite of all that is said of the favourable alteration that has taken place in the last sixty years, I doubt whether that opinion, though pretty generally received, deserves entire confidence. Nothing is more subject to error than judgments formed concerning the state of the atmosphere, when they are only founded upon our sensations. (Pr. Ed.) Vol. i. p. xxxix.
BRITISH AMITY.
The French paper published in this city has made a pompous display of the names of the American seamen impressed on board the English men of war. It has been obliged at the same time to confess that they have all been discharged at the requisition of the American government, except a few who died in the service.
How many of these entered voluntarily we have not been informed; but if the whole number of one hundred & thirty one were really impressed, the whole were hardly sufficient to man a single sloop of war! And how many of those sloops, with other larger ships of war, have been employed in protecting the American trade—in keeping from our detested foes inroads the fleets and armies of France? How many of them are at this moment employed in convoying our trade in the Mediterranean? And again, how many times 1:1 British subjects are at this moment employed on board the American shipping? If we were obliged to surrender all such mariners to their liege sovereign, many of our vessels, perhaps one half of them, would be laid up at our wharves!
Yet this Journal, whose infamous pages have laboured in the vindication of the airtist Paine, and the pirate Robbins, in libelling the immortal Washington, and other American worthies, is now employed, like a true pensioner of France, to flame the American people against the nation and government of Great Britain, for terminated between the parties!

OR EXCHANGE for approved lands near the Blue-Ridge,
A valuable Tract of Land in Northumberland county, two miles from the court-house, and near the bank of the Potomac, containing 1163 acres. This tract is divided into two plantations, on the one there is a brick dwelling house 50 by 33 feet conveniently divided, and two brick offices, 24 by 16 feet. A farmhouse 20 by 16 feet designed for an overseer, and other out houses.
The conveniences of this place are equalled by few, and the prospect excelled by none in the state. The house is situated on a high hill and commands an extensive view of the Potomac and the Chesapeake bay. There is a creek abounding with the finest fish and oysters, which terminates the flat land of this tract, that is navigable for bay craft, and affords an excellent landing place within half a mile of the house. On this part of the tract there is an excellent bearing apple and peach orchard, and a variety of other fruit trees. It has a great sufficiency of oak and hickory timber, for the use of the plantation, besides a large quantity of pine.
On the other plantation there is a frame dwelling house 32 by 15 feet, and a few out houses, such as tenants generally have about them. This part of the tract is as well situated for farming as any lands in Virginia. It is well watered, has a sufficiency of timber for its support, and flourishing young peach and apple orchards.
As it is presumable that no person will make such a purchase without viewing the premises, all that is necessary to add is that Mr. Spencer Ball, living thereon, will shew the whole, and is fully authorised to make sale thereof.
