IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
Answer to M. Novoziltzoff's Note.
PARIS, July 25.
The Moniteur of yesterday contains the following article, which is particularly worthy of remark in the present circumstances.
BERLIN, July 15.
M. Novoziltzoff left this capital yesterday for St. Petersburg. He had a long conference with Mr. Jackson, the British envoy at Berlin.
The mission of that Russian envoy was announced to all Europe several months before it commenced; and this was sufficient to render it abortive. It also became the subject of many discussions, calculations and intrigues. After M. Novoziltzoff had been represented rather as a bearer of orders, than as a negotiator, his mission was represented under another color to render it less hateful. He was to negotiate, they said, with none but the emperor himself. They who propagated these idle reports, well knew that all demands of that nature deviating from the regard due to a great power, must on that very account frustrate a mission, the purport of which was not very evident; and what fully proves the uncertainty and obscurity of it is, that it was successively an object of orders and counterorders. Now every thing well considered, the counter order which calls M. Novoziltzoff back to Petersburg, is probably, more favorable for peace than the order by which he was sent to Paris.
If the object of his mission was to allay the coolness existing between France and Russia, he would probably have succeeded. What indeed have France and Russia to do with each other? Independent of each other they are unable to hurt; but all-powerful to do good to one another. If the emperor of the French exerts great influence in Italy, the emperor of Russia exerts a much greater influence on the Ottoman Porte, and in Persia. The former has a limited influence, which does not extend beyond the discussions on the subject of her boundaries, and does not much increase her power; the latter on the other hand exerts her influence over two powers of the first rank, which have long stood in the same political rank with France & Russia, and which rule over Arabia, the Caspian, and the black-seas. If the Russian cabinet thinks it has a right to fix the just boundaries by which France is to be limited on all sides, then that cabinet will undoubtedly allow the emperor of the French, to fix the boundary by which it is to be limited in its turn.
When it views with Herschell's telescope from the terrace of the palace of the Tauride, what happens between the emperor of the French and some of the tribes in the Appenines, it ought not to demand that the emperor of the French should not see what becomes of the ancient illustrious empire of Solyman, & of Persia; that he should not see for ten years past the whole Caucasus has been united with Russia, at the request of a few families of that country; that Wallachia and Moldavia are entirely dependent on Russia; that she has subjected to herself the mouths of Phasis, and constructed forts there; that thereby obliged the Porte to suffer her conquests, she has procured great advantages to herself for pursuing her conquest into the centre of Persia.
Is then the emperor of the French lowered to that degree of weakness, that he must coolly listen to a Russian commissary calling him to an account for what he does, in countries unknown to Russia, and with whom she has no relations; that he must close his eyes from seeing and refrain from answering, when Sultan Selim has less to say in Constantinople, than a simple envoy from St. Petersburg; when the Bosphorus is violated, and the consequence of the occupation of the Crimea, and of the mouths of the Phasis, are felt in full force; when the cries of the seraglio, although fettered by fear, awaken all Europe; and lastly when there is not a pacha, in the Morea, not a mussulman in Constantinople, but expects every morning to see a fleet from the black sea, casting anchor at the foot of the seraglio, and a herald reading the declaration of war, and to hear the report of muskets in the garden of the Grand Seigneur?
But if a Russian commissary, coming to Paris to say that a diminution of influence in Italy was demanded, should say, at the same time, that a guarantee should be given for Persia and the Porte; that the Bosphorus shall no more be violated, but
remain that according to the practice of all times against the ships of all powers; that the treaty of 1792 shall not be renewed; that the subjects of the Porte shall no longer navigate under Russian colors; that the regiments enlisted for the Russian service in Albania, at a great expence shall be disbanded, that the ships in the black sea shall never be so numerous as to endanger the Porte of being menaced in her own capital, before the powers of Europe can be informed of her danger; that the Pashas shall be evacuated and the Caucasus restored to the Shah of Persia, and that tranquillity shall again be given to that empire after so many years of internal wars and calamities, then it would be easy to conceive what would be the effect of such language; and although we are not in the secret of the cabinet of the Tuilleries, we dare say the emperor of the French would be ready to meet so noble an agreement; he would listen not to menaces, but to a desire to consolidate the independence of nations, and the happiness of mankind. Whatever sacrifices he should make for the independence of the Porte and of Persia, he would still be a gainer; posterity, for which he labors, would acknowledge him its deliverer and admire the acuteness of that reason, which made him discover before hand that the Russians would be the oppressors of the whole world, even as they now oppress the North, and the establishment of that universal monarchy, with which Europe has been so much frightened, and which has so long been held up to its view as the aim of the French nation, which comprises every thing in itself, and can never be dangerous to the independence of other countries.
If the Russian plenipotentiary came with a message from England, who is there but sees the difficulties, the unavoidable trouble which new instructions, new pretensions of Russia would introduce? Of whatever nature the objects may be, which divide England and France these nations would then be obliged to expect the decision of their differences from a far distant country, to which the interests of both is so little known.
When the cabinet of London applauded the mission of M. Novoziltzoff, it did so because it hoped not only to bring over Russia, but also to draw in Austria and Prussia along with her: for it knows full well, that the concurrence of Russia alone will not allow it to think of the insane plans of partition which it has formed against France, and of which, in its madness, it never ceases to dream. If the English government is desirous of peace, it will recollect that it can reply to a French note, by an English note. These two languages are easily translated, and the intervention of another could only render the negotiation more intricate.
Could M. Novoziltzoff himself be accurately acquainted with such knotty affairs? Did he know, at the time of the treaty of Amiens, the empire of Mysore was not wholly united to the English possessions? that the empire of the Mahrattas was annihilated; that England had doubled her power in India; and that no European ship can sail in those seas? Did he think that France would give up her commerce with India forever? Did he also see that that commerce alone was not the main point—that England has obtained that point which Catharine never would suffer, by her cannon, at Copenhagen—that, what France never will allow, was obtained of Russia, by Nelson, in the Gulph of Finland—that since that treaty, so contrary to the rights of which even the nations the least behold are jealous, various interpretations have been made of the right of blockade; that whole rivers have been blockaded; that Cadiz was blockaded even when our squadrons were masters in the Straits; that Venice is blockaded although no English ship has been seen there for six months past, and that no neutral vessel was seen there neither, during six months; the effects of a strange connivance in other powers? At Venice, Triest, Lisbon and in Northern ports, all shipments from Genoa were stopped from the moment that port was declared in a state of blockade.
Did that plenipotentiary come to say that Russia had procured the liberty of the Indies, and of the European commerce in India; the recognition of the universal sovereignty of the seas; the renunciation of all interpretations concerning the right of blockade, henceforth limited to countries attacked, or in danger of being taken, and (in the true sense of the word, to blockade) surrounded on all sides? Did he at the same time come to demand, that the crown of Italy should be placed on another head, and to require the surrender of some parts of the territory on the other side of the Alps! If this was the case, he should have
been welcome; he would have met with no obstacles, and his undertaking would have been crowned with success.
But if he, approving what England does, recognizing her right to search all ships, to place whole kingdoms in a state of blockade, applauding the immense increase of her power in India come to represent to France that she ought to evacuate Parma and Genoa, and renounce the crown of Italy; then it would appear that it was evidently intended to oppress France; then it would be France which they would wish to bring back to those times when Poland was partitioned without its own consent, when Meas was found to terrify a degenerate race, to deprive it of the consciousness of its worth, and even of the will of opposing the oppression. France has arms, courage and armies; yea, of whatever nature the coalition shall be, which the English ministers may find means to form, France, though regretting the influence of English gold on the continent, will dissolve that gordian knot as well as the two preceding. As often as they shall step in between both to reduce England within equitable and decent bounds, no sacrifice will be too hard for France; but if they will lay the whole weight upon her, she will see in those intentions, nothing but hatred and insult, and one must be very ignorant in calculating the power and the state of affairs, to hope to succeed always.
Poland has been partitioned—France must have for it Belgium and the banks of the Rhine. The Crimea has been occupied, the Caucasus, the mouths of the Phasis, &c. France must have a compensation in Europe—the principles of self-preservation require it.
Is a general congress of Europe wished for? Well! Let each power place at the disposal of that congress the conquests which she has made within the last fifty years—re-establish Poland, restore Venice to its senate, Trinidad to Spain, Ceylon to Holland, and the Crimea to the Porte—withdraw to a distance from the Phasis and the Bosphorus—to give up Caucasus and Georgia—let the Porte, after so many disasters, take a little breath—let the dominion of the Mahrattas, and the kingdom of Mysore, be re-established, or no longer remain the exclusive property of England; then shall France recede within her ancient boundaries, and in so doing France assuredly will not be the greatest loser. Whence then this furious outcry, this summons to a crusade against a power, which, for the last fifty years, has derived less advantage than any other from the revolutions of states, and the changes which have taken place in every part of the globe, and which, uniformly victorious, has retained nothing of her conquests, but what was necessary to form an equitable compensation.
Europe had sustained several dreadful shocks: social order had revived; the peace of Amiens had established the general system. A feeble ministry, an unexampled arrogance, have kindled the flames of war anew, and exposed the peace of all nations to a state of uncertainty. The continental prince who shall first join in this project of general subversion, who shall first give the signal for war, will be answerable for all the calamities which may ensue from it, and subject himself to the merited curse of the existing generation.
It is the opinion of every intelligent person, that the result of a war upon the continent can have no other tendency than to increase the power of France. They are also persuaded that she will not always have the weakness, from a pure feeling of generosity, and the vain hope of promoting the happiness of mankind, and the peace of the whole world, to evacuate numerous and populous conquests.
It is the fashion at present to inveigh against the ambition of France; had she, however been disposed to retain the territories conquered by her arms, the half of Austria, the states of Venice, the kingdom of Naples, Switzerland and Holland, would still have been subject to her dominion. The real boundaries of France are the Rhine and the Adige. Did not the French penetrate beyond the Adige and the Rhine? Were they prevented, by the force of arms, from taking the Salza and the Drave as their boundaries? Or did they not forego those boundaries from a generous moderation! It is in the natural course of things that men such as Woronzoff, Thugut and Acton, (to whom Europe gives as little credit for capacity, as it ascribes to them hatred against every thing that is great and liberal, and who have sold their consciences for English gold) should exert all their influence to reproduce all the calamities of war. The prosperity of nations has occasioned the loss or the diminution of their credit: and this too is fortunate for princes. There are some who have ceased to
reign in consequence of listening to their counsels.
The calamities of a continental war would fall neither upon Russia nor England inasmuch as the scene of action would lie in Germany or Italy. What interest then have the French, the Italians and the Germans take in the mediation of powers, which would employ the moment when they were engaged in the most sanguinary attacks on each other to accomplish the downfall of the Turkish and Persian empires? The constant policy of the northern states has been to provoke wars from which they themselves had nothing to dread.
Thus it was that Catherine for several years, permitted Austria and Prussia to carry on the war, still promising them assistance which, however, could not prevent the French armies from appearing before the gates of Vienna.
Thus it was that the late emperor of Russia extended the calamities of war by furnishing Austria with auxiliaries, at a time when Austria would, without them, have acquired many advantages; auxiliaries, however, who, upon the first reverse, trod back their steps, and in the middle of a campaign, left their allies to sustain alone all the pressure of a war, which they had promised to share in common with them.
In a word, France and Russia can gain nothing by a misunderstanding; they can inflict on each other no injury by a war; and whatever may be the policy of either, there is nothing in which they can find so much advantage as in maintaining a good understanding with each other. We have already declared, and once more repeat it, that if Russia evacuate the Bosphorus, Caucasus, Phasis, Georgia, &c. France will accede to any arrangements which can be required with respect to Italy. But, unfortunately, it is too well known that no one finds pleasure in sacrifices of this nature; and hence France must be allowed to indemnify herself, so as to compensate for such advantages as are obtained by the other powers.
As to England, the treaty of Amiens is still in force. It was concluded, after a deliberate and long investigation of the reciprocal interests of the two states, it was broken unexpectedly, and upon idle pretences. Re-establish that treaty, and both states are at peace. But if England requires new conditions; if she wishes to enter into a discussion respecting the frontiers of France on the side of Italy, let her give to France a share of the Mahratta territory; let her, in short, adopt maxims consistent with the independence of the other powers. But the English will say, 'it is better to sink than to consent that the flag shall protect the cargo; that a vessel, for whatever she contains, or whatever is done on board her, shall be accountable only to the sovereign of the state to which she belongs; that the Indies shall cease to be our property, or that any power whatever shall have a right to share with us in our superiority in the Indies! Do not you then expect that France shall enter into discussions with you upon points which do not concern you, or do you consent to enter into discussions with her upon points, which involve the sacred interests of all nations? France duly appreciates the advantage of peace; but she will carry on the war as long as it shall be necessary towards maintaining the honor of her flag, and the preponderance which it has acquired; and until she has obtained the assurance, that in whatever quarter of the world a Frenchman may shew himself, he shall not have occasion to blush in consequence of the insolent and arrogant assumptions of the English.'

SALEM, September 17.
BLOODY SCENES AT ALGIERS.
Capt. Saillaber, from Leghorn, informs us, that on the 7th of July a brig arrived from Algiers, and brought accounts of an insurrection at that place, and that the Dey had beheaded 400 Jews. One Jewish family made their escape in the brig.
Captain S. being just on the point of sailing, had not an opportunity to collect any further particulars of the above; but after he had gone on board to take his departure, and while he lay becalmed, captain Israel Williams, of the ship Friendship, of this port, then at Leghorn, was so obliging as to get on board a letter for us, communicating a number of other circumstances respecting this bloody business, of which the following is an extract:
Leghorn, July 8th. "Yesterday arrived here an Imperial brig, five days from Algiers. She informs, that that country was in dreadful confusion, that the Bedouin Arabs, said to be headed by a Frenchman, had revolted, and marched towards Algiers; that the Dey, on their approach, detached 7000 troops to attack them, but that these, after a desperate battle, were defeated and cut off to a man; that the Arabs then rushed on to the city, which they successfully attacked, and had taken a principal fort, that another attempt had been made to assassinate the Dey, he having received several stabs, and said to be mortally wounded; that he had cut off 400 of the richest Jews' heads, and that the bloody work was still going on when this vessel left the place."
There are at this time three vessels at Algiers, a Ragusian, an Imperialist and a Swede, who all cut their cables, and ran away from the port, permitting as many Jews to come as could get on board: the brig that has now arrived, has brought 100, and it is expected the Swede has at least 200 more. Such is the news at Leghorn.
"The Algerines have a squadron now at sea, consisting of seven sail; they passed in sight of this port 13 days since, and were off Civita Vecchia, four days since. They consist of a stout frigate of 44 guns, built at Algiers, a few years since; another frigate of forty four guns taken from the Portuguese 6 months since, the Crescent of 32, a present from the U.S.; two polacres lately purchased from the Greeks, one of which mounts 25 guns, the other 18; the fine brig Bashaw, of 22 guns, a present also from the United States; and a chebeck."
"We have heard of several of the American gun-boats passing Gibraltar, but not of their arrival at Malta."

We have received the official account of the proceedings of the Court of Enquiry in the case of Captain Bainbridge, which shall appear at length in our next paper. The following is the result of the Enquiry: (National Intelligencer.)
"The court having deliberated on the evidence deduced from the testimony of the witnesses, heard in this case, are decidedly of opinion that captain WILLIAM BAINBRIDGE, acted with fortitude and conduct in the loss of his ship, the United States frigate Philadelphia, on the 31st Oct. 1833, and that no degree of censure should attach itself to him, from that event."
Spanish Consul General's Office, Philadelphia, September 19.
His Catholic Majesty's consul general, having received information that the importation of dry goods, (muslin excepted) flour and other provisions is permitted at Puerto Rico, the merchants and traders of this city, are hereby informed, that on application at this office the usual documents will be granted for vessels so trading. Duties payable on dry goods, are 10 per cent. and 6 per cent. on provisions, with liberty to export the produce of the Island, on paying 5 per cent. only.

A letter from Gibraltar, dated 14th July last mentions that Bacris, Busnachs, and other principal Jews, the friends of the dey of Algiers, were murdered at Algiers, as was his favorite Jew at Oran.
By the arrival of the southern mail yesterday, letters were received in town from some of our late prisoners in Tripoli, dated on board the U. S. ship President, off Virginia Capes, Sept. 10, 1805. The letters abound with expressions of the feelings excited by their restoration to liberty and their country. One letter mentions that the Essex arrived off Tripoli, the 26th May, and hoisted the white flag, which was immediately answered from the shore. The negotiation forthwith commenced, and was closed the 3d of June. The final acceptance on the part of the bashaw, of the terms proposed by col. Lear, was instantaneously followed by the unclosing of those bolts and bars which had so long detained us in dreary confinement, and the savage ferocity of the Turks, whose morose insulting looks we had so often read with contempt and indignation, was now entirely melted down, and they seemed by their countenance to say, "you are no longer our prisoners and we are no longer enemies to each other." We hurried away from our miserable abode to the consular house, and the next day removed on board the Constitution. The bashaw consented to our embarking on board the squadron without the ransom money being paid down, as he was satisfied with col. Lear's binding the United States to pay it. Previous to our leaving the shore, upwards of seven hundred dollars was subscribed among the officers of the late frigate Philadelphia, for the purpose of purchasing a handsome piece of plate, to be presented in our names to our much-esteemed friend Mr. NISSON (the Danish consul.) My pen would but feebly express the high esteem and respect we all feel for his character: he has uniformly been our warm and disinterested friend."
While at Syracuse, a court of inquiry was held on captain Bainbridge, for the loss of the late frigate Philadelphia, and after a full investigation of the whole transaction of that unfortunate day, he was most honorable acquitted. The satisfaction given by the acquittal of this valuable officer, proceeds as well from an opinion of the correctness of his conduct in this particular case, as from a sense of his merits generally.

From a Salem Paper. [COPY] Of a letter from Mr. Williams to Wm. Bartlett, esq. dated London, July 12, 1805.
SIR, I am sorry to inform you of the unfortunate detention of the brig Respect, captain March, by a privateer, she is now in Plymouth. Captain M. has applied to me for advice and assistance, which I shall of course render him. To-morrow a claim will be given for vessel and cargo. It appears that the cargo came in this vessel from Martinique; although it was landed, &c. yet the court will, I fear, agreeably to a late decision of the court of appeals in the case of the Essex Orne, condemn the vessel and cargo—nothing will save them, unless it be a memorial which is to be made to this government on a similar occasion, by order of the American minister. There are two or three similar cases now pending—I have frequently cautioned my friends from sending cargoes, imported from the enemies colonies, to the countries of the enemy in Europe, in the same bottom. The memorial may delay the trial of the Respect, and the others in the same situation. I shall give captain March, my best aid. N. B. The attempts to negotiate a peace continue to depress the markets and prevent sales. Samuel Williams.
A letter from Mr. Williams, to Mr. Bartlett, received subsequent to that of July 12, dated London 23d July, says:—
"Two vessels and cargoes in the predicament of yours were condemned to day. Yours of course will share the same fate. The trial comes on this week. The case of the Essex Orne, was the authority which governed the judges in these cases."
DUEL.—On the 9th ult. a duel, the parties at fifteen feet distance, was fought between captain M'Dougal and Mr. Murray. The former was shot through the body, the latter through the thighs. (N. Hampshire Paper.)
VERMONT ELECTION.
We understand that his excellency Isaac Tichenor, will be re-elected by a larger majority the present year than at the last; and that in many towns, which sent last year democratic members to the legislature, federalists are now returned. The people will not always be unmindful of their real friends. Amidst the general deluge of de-
mocracy which has for a few years covered the government, the federal ark remains firm, and its family, though in the shade, are not dispirited. The flood will be assuaged in due season, the dove will ere long be the harbinger of its decrease, and at the advent of this auspicious era, the political vessel will rest as firmly as that of Noah on the mountain of Ararat. The face of the nation, so long obscured "by clouds and thick darkness," will shine with renovated lustre, and where devastation and ruin "abounded," fertility and happiness "will much more abound." [Ibid.]
From a letter of a young Student at Princeton, to the Editor of the Enquirer.
"I have seen general Moreau. He has purchased a house near Trenton (about 12 miles from Princeton (but on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware. He intends as soon as possible to become an American citizen. Different opinions are entertained of the reception he ought and will meet with from an American people. For my own part, I think it the greatest encomium both on himself and us, that he has chosen this country as his place of residence."
"The character and conduct of general Moreau furnish to my mind the clearest elucidation of the good intentions of the original reformers of France. For he was one of them. As soon as he saw that no republic existed in Europe, he was anxious to leave it. He left his country because it was subject to the power of a tyrant. He refused the command of the Spanish troops to besiege Gibraltar, because they were the servants of a despot. He refused the command in chief of the Russian army, because they fought for a King."
"General Moreau now receives company, not as you would expect from a compeer of Bonaparte; but as a citizen of the United States, who has never been elevated above a private station."
OF DUELLING.
The general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States have testified their abhorrence of this shocking practice, by resolving unanimously, to discountenance it on all occasions, and to recommend it to all their ministers to refuse to attend a funeral of any person killed in a duel, and to admit no person giving or accepting, a challenge the privileges of the church.
High crime.—A woman has been lately fined in Baltimore for wearing her petticoat festooned too high. To avoid the like penalty in future, it is said, she means to let them down.

Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN.
DRUGGIST; The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters. PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Billious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Billious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholice, Colic, &c. Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Billious Pills, or, Family Phyic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrheas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti billious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste. For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scurbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.

FOR SALE. Five hundred acres of LAND, in the County of Alexandria, and five and a half miles from Alexandria and two from Georgetown, bereed. It abounds in excellent water, and has an extensive view of the neighborhood—from its proximity to the City, Georgetown and Alexandria, with the additional convenience of an abundance of wood, few farms within the district claim a pre-eminence. Upon the First Monday in October, I shall attend on the premises for the purpose of disposing of it, if not sold previous to that time. Should it be more accommodating to those (who with a country residence during the sickly months,) I will divide it into ten and twenty acre LOTS. Any person wishing to view the Land, by an application to WILLIAM SNELLUM, who lives on it may be gratified. My remoteness and the frequent depredations on the Wood and Timber, are the principal inducements to sell it, nor more than one-fifth of the purchase money will be required, and a credit from two to three years will be given for the residue, security by a mortgage, and a forfeiture of the advanced monies, with interest on the sum unpaid, if not punctually and fully discharged.

WANTS A PLACE, A YOUNG MAN, who is well acquainted with the farming business. Enquire of the Printer. September 3. 2aw3w
To Planters and Farmers. The subscriber offers for sale, on a liberal credit, or for NEGROES, Ten tracts of Land, of 1000 acres each, situate on the river Ouchera, and the Ba. son of Berthelline, in the county of Ouaha, and territory of Orleans. The above land is part of the grant made to the Baron de Bastrop by the Spanish government. It is situated above fifty miles from the Natchez, 250 miles from New Orleans, and 30 from the river Mississippi, and from 10 to 15 miles from the post of Ouchera. It is thought unnecessary to give more than a brief description of it, as any person wishing for more particular information may obtain it from any of the following named gentlemen.
The above land lies on waters navigable in all seasons for vessels of 40 tons burthen, is in the heart of a country fast settling from the Mississippi territory and Kentucky, and being but a few miles from the post renders it contiguous to mills, stores, cotton gins, &c. It is scarcely necessary to say any thing of the quality of the soil, as the whole of that country is known to be the finest land in the world. It may not be improper to remark however, of these lands, that about one fifth being covered with timber, the rest is prairie, and nothing else is required to prepare it for a crop of cotton, indian corn, tobacco, hemp, or rice, (in the lowest part of the grounds) than merely ploughing it up. The subscriber owns 5000 acres more, on which he would be glad of obtaining industrious settlers. Such settlers ought to have some negroes, and a plenty of children. To such he offers liberal encouragement, either by selling to them at a low price, or on a long credit of 5 or 6 years, or lease of 10 years. He would also furnish them with provisions on their arrival there. For further particulars enquire of Thomas W. Griffith and Thomas Chase, Esquires, at Baltimore; David P. Dewees, at Alexandria, Virginia; Dr. J. Scott, of Fredericksburg; or of the subscriber at New Orleans, but at present in Philadelphia. William Dewees. September 16. 1aw
