PARIS, October 16.
The following is the historical Exposition just published by the Elector of Bavaria, and which forms his Manifesto against Austria. Never did oppression display itself under a more odious character, and yet such a conduct does not excite the indignation of every Elector! What is the Elector of Saxony about? What is the Elector of Hesse-Cassel about? Are they waiting for Austria to send them an usher of the aulic court, or are they stopping for her to invade their States, and express her surprise that they complain? The Electors of Bavaria, of Wurtemberg and of Baden have made common cause with France: their Houses will receive the tyranny of the House of Austria; a tyranny at every instant, and which extends over all the members of a body which the Emperor of Germany ought to protect.
HISTORICAL EXPOSITION, Of the motives which have determined the conduct of H. H. the Elector Palatine of Bavaria.
Bavaria, exhausted by an unfortunate war, was recovering in the midst of peace. Without betraying the least uneasiness, she beheld camps forming in the Austrian Princes bordering on her frontiers. Peace appeared to her an object so desirable that she never imagined the Continental powers would seek to disturb the repose they enjoyed.
Thus then when clouds were perceived to rise from afar between France and Russia, hopes were entertained that the distance of these two empires from each other would prevent a rupture, or that at least Germany would avoid taking a part in it. Bavaria too, was so foreign to the differences which divide these two States, that it was difficult to conceive any power would wish her to take arms in this quarrel against France.
Bavaria had no complaint to bring forward against the Emperor Napoleon. By his powerful influence, she had obtained indemnities for losses she had experienced last war; and the courts of Vienna and Petersburg can not be ignorant, on the contrary, of the interest he took in the affairs of Bavaria, in that conjuncture.
In this state of things, intelligence was received at Munich that the negotiations between France, and Russia, scarcely begun, had broken off, and that at the same time, Austria was assembling numerous armies near Wells, and dispatching troops to the Tyrol.
Several detachments on their way thither crossed the Bavarian territory without any previous notice. On complaints being made of this conduct, the Austrian envoy at Munich gave the most satisfactory explanations, promising that the officers who headed these detachments should be punished. These promises were not fulfilled; and advices were received that the Austrian troops crossed the Bavarian territory more frequently and in greater numbers. This news gave birth to conjectures that the troops of the camps of Wells intended crossing the Inn.
The elector nevertheless still hoped to preserve a neutrality, which the exhausted state of his territories and their geographical position appeared to prescribe.
H. E. H. had already ordered his minister to make overtures to the court of Vienna on this head, when Prince Schwarzenburgh arrived at Munich.
He brought a letter from the emperor of Austria, by which his majesty required the elector in the most precise terms, to join the Imperial troops with his own. This letter contained threats in case of refusal, but an assurance that if acceded to, no pretensions should be brought forward against Bavaria.
It was in this manner that the first overtures were made. The elector had still less reason to think of its being in agitation to bring forward pretensions, as the Bavarian minister had, under the reserve of his electoral highness's approbation, just concluded a treaty, which granted several considerable advantages to his majesty the emperor and to the elector of Salzburg.
The intentions of the court of Vienna were still better known from the haughtiness assumed by the prince Schwarzenburgh, in an audience granted him by the elector, and in a second which he had with the minister of foreign affairs.
He required that the Bavarian army should be delivered up to the Austrian generals, in order to be incorporated with that of Austria. The threat escaped him that in case of refusal it should be disarmed. He likewise demanded an exact statement of the army, and that the elector should reply to these propositions in one day.
Nothing was ready; the elector conceived that he might still rely on the confidence he had in the court of Vienna, and accordingly he sent lieutenant gen. count Nogarolla to his majesty the emperor, and in a letter written with his own hand, represented to him in a manner equally strong and candid, the position in which he was placed, and the necessity he lay under of preserving a system of neutrality.
The elector did not take a single step but what indicated that his sentiments had always been the same, yet general Nogarolla was scarcely set off for his destination, before advices were received at Munich of the preparations making by the Austrian army to cross the Inn.
H. E. H. could not but perceive that the Austrian generals had formed the design, by an appearance of negotiation, preventing his taking defensive measures; in order that they might be enabled to get his troops and perhaps his person into their power.
Nevertheless General Mack confessed on this head to a Bavarian officer who had been sent to him, that in consequence of the assurance given to prince Schwarzenburgh he had delayed the forced march of General Klenau's division, who were to repair to Neuburgh, in order to cut off the retreat of the Electoral regiment.
The moment was now arrived when H. E. H. no longer confidently relying on the assurances of which until then the Austrian Minister had been so lavish towards him, was induced to take, for the maintenance of his independence a prompt and courageous resolution.
The Court of Munich, by seeking to give time, had no hostile view, but merely that of preserving her neutrality, and of guaranteeing herself by measures which circumstances rendered necessary, from what Prince Schwarzenburgh had threatened. Attempts were then made to negotiate with him; but what was the astonishment of the Elector and his Minister on finding that this general, who had with so much haughtiness insisted on an immediate reply, had no power whatever to treat, and that in order to bring any matter to a conclusion, it would be necessary to apply to Field Marshal Lieutenant Mack. It was at the very moment that this general and prince Schwarzenburgh were making proposals for a coalition that, on the ninth of September the Austrian troops penetrated into Bavaria.
From the first day these troops set foot in the Bavarian dominions, they laid on heavy requisition, insisted on being fed by the country, and began to emit paper money, by obliging it to be received at its nominal value whilst in its own provinces it loses 80 per cent.
Such were the circumstances under which it was proposed to disband & incorporate the Bavarian army.
The orders for the retreat of the troops were only given in the night, on the 8th of September, and after the strongest importunities, the Elector and his minister quitted the capital, in order to retire into the province of Franconia.
Notwithstanding the violent conduct which had been adopted towards the Elector, his confidence in the person of his majesty and in the field marshal was not yet diminished. He in consequence sent lieutenant col. Ribeupierre to the conference assigned at Haag.
This officer had orders to represent that the junction of the Electoral with the Austrian troops could only be the result of a treaty & not a preliminary condition; he was also to declare that his majesty would never consent to their incorporation, and that they had received orders to fire on the first attempt to disarm them.
Prince Schwarzenburgh proposed that the troops should be ordered to halt whilst a courier was sent to Vienna to bring back instructions. Lieutenant Colonel Ribeupierre, would have adopted this proposal, but general Mack insisted on the Bavarian columns stopping, whilst his own army should continue their march. Upon this the Bavarian officers withdrew and the negotiation was broken off.
The Austrian army approaching the Isar the Bavarian troops dispersed in divers garrisons, retreated so as to avoid falling in with them. They marched towards the Danube and took up their cantonments in the Upper Palatine.
In order that the relations which had existed with the generals of the Austrian
army might notwithstanding the removal of the coast, be represented in their true point of view to the government of Vienna, the baron Gravenruth, envoy extraordinary from his H. E. H. to his majesty and who was then at Munich, received orders to repair without delay to Vienna, his majesty wishing by this choice, to express in the strongest manner his desire to preserve the ties of friendship still subsisting.
This minister on the 13th of September, sent his brother charge de affairs to the court of Vienna and captain of his highnesses' staff to general Mack, who was then at Munich; he was the bearer of a letter by which invoking the most perfect neutrality it was offered to determine on a line which the Austrian troops should follow in their march, as also the positions they should occupy: by means of which they should not be in any manner disturbed and every sort of collision would be avoided.
General Mack in his reply by letter, mentioned only what he had already verbally stated to captain Gravenruth, namely; that the emperor would never consent for Bavaria to remain neuter, nor even that as an ally, her troops should remain in a body.
In this conference he entered into a statement of all that had taken place from the mission of baron Novoziltzoff to the establishment of the head quarters at Munich, grounding the sudden invasion of Bavaria, on the necessity of concealing from France the preparation for attack, which were then making.
He rejected every project for drawing a line of demarcation, spoke of the approaching arrival of the Russians, who would not stop until the Bavarian troops were incorporated with the Austrian army, and who would not leave them in safety even in Franconia. He added that the Bavarians ought not to rely on the protection of Prussia, that nothing should divert him from pursuing them every where; that Russia had an army on the frontiers of Prussia in order to watch for that power, and that on the first signal twenty five thousand Cossacks should ravage her provinces.
General Mack and count Burl, the Austrian minister in Bavaria made use of very unguarded expressions relative to the Elector of Bavaria and his ministry. The general finished by saying: "I have it in my power to treat Bavaria as an enemy's country; but I still entertain hopes that every thing will pass over amicably."
Whilst baron Gravenruth was giving an account of these proceedings to his E. H. in order to receive new orders, reports from the civil authorities on the conduct of the Austrian army, were daily received.
Victuals and forage were every where required without payment; receipts alone were delivered, which added other millions to the unpaid debt of last war.
The harness carried away by force from the peasantry, and the horses taken in the streets were immediately employed for the service of the army. Heavy requisitions were levied. The laborers were deprived of their plough-boys.
The Bavarian soldiers absent on furlough were forbidden to rejoin their regiments, under the penalty of having their goods confiscated.
The country was inundated with Vienna bank notes: An ordinance forced them to be received at their nominal value; tradesmen and artificers could not refuse them without exposing themselves to have their property confiscated.
The commandants and commissaries of the army and the minister of Austria at Munich, took measures which belong only to an administration legally instituted.
Lastly, the commissary general of the army did not think fit to confine himself to giving orders in the country of which the Austrians were masters; he addressed them also on the 16th and 17th September, to the president of the administration at Amberg.
Orders were given to send every eight days to the army chest, the revenues of different kinds collected in the country, without having previously paid the salaries. The bank notes were also ordered to be received at their nominal value.
Another severe ordinance ordered the Austrian deserters to be delivered up. The president of the administration of Amberg sent back these orders announcing that he could only obey those of his electoral highness.
The minister Gravenruth, nevertheless, conceived it his duty to complain; in consequence of which he sent an officer of staff to the Imperial army.
The archduke Ferdinand, who had in the mean time assumed the command, replied, that the commissary had gone beyond his instructions, and appeared even
to entertain doubts whether the complaint was well founded; he reserved to himself to give a reply in four or five days.
As the Austrian troops directed their march to the Upper Palatinate, on the side of Bohemia and Neuburg, the Bavarian army was under the necessity of retiring into the provinces of Franconia.
On the 28th September, the reply of the Archduke Ferdinand was received at Bamberg, he contented himself with referring to the Count Bual, the Austrian minister then at Wurtzburg.
After all that had passed, this minister met with no difficulties in repairing to the court at Wurtzburg. In an audience which was granted him, he presented to H. E. H. a letter from H. M. by which in consequence of the first propositions, the junction of his troops was insisted on.
The Count Bual afterwards declared that he had full powers to conclude a Treaty of Alliance with Bavaria. He made proposals to which it was difficult to attach any belief. Austria having constantly shown herself adverse to it by a system acted upon for upwards of a century.
Several objections were started to him in renewing to him the demand of acknowledging the neutrality of the Elector; but he declared in the most positive manner, that the Emperor of Austria would never consent to an armed neutrality. Perhaps he would agree to determining a certain extent of the territory for the town of Munich, which the Austrian troops will not trespass on, if H. H. will on his side disband his army.
This idea was of a nature to revolt the Elector and his ministry; still, in order to avoid every reproach of having broken off a negotiation which might in the sequel, insure the neutrality of Bavaria, that neutrality was coldly rejected. The Count Bual added that if the Elector would disband his army, the Emperor would consent to his preserving the Franconian troops.
The Minister for foreign affairs repelling this proposal, the Austrian minister said that the Emperor would, also permit the Elector to retain the Swabian regiments but that on these conditions alone he would grant the neutrality.
How happens it that the Austrian Ministry establishes such a difference, more especially so offensive, between the provinces of H. E. H.? His Electoral Highness and the Bavarian nation are equally convinced of the courage which animates the whole army; its fidelity is well known.
The Elector could not give a better proof of his sentiments in this respect than in confiding to the Bavarian and Swabian troops the defence of his country, and to the Franconians the guard of his person and family.
The Count Bual declared moreover, that H. E. H. did not consent to disarm, H. M. would not on that account treat him as an enemy but that conceiving a just mistrust, he would be forced to act with regard to him as circumstances might prescribe.
It was observed to him how very indeterminate were these sentiments, and in how many ways they might be interpreted. He merely replied that the ministry of H. H. made him no counter proposal, whilst he stated himself to be empowered to accept any, the object of which was the disbanding of the Bavarian troops. H. B. independence of the Sovereign could not permit that such conditions should ever form the basis of any treaty.
The Count Bual may now with reason observe that he could not make himself be heard, that the Bavarian Ministry would not listen to him and that he completely miscarried in his negotiation. On the approach of the French troops he began to form complaints: he gave to understand that he was no longer where he ought to be, and that if overtures were not made him, he would retire to the head-quarters of the Austrian army. Intelligence was in fact received at Court, that on the 27th September, at three in the afternoon, he had quitted Wurtzburg.
Thus were terminated negotiations which Austria proposed to herself to succeed in, after having overrun with her numerous armies the provinces of a peaceable and friendly neighbour.
A Sermon will be preached on Sunday next, in the Roman Catholic Church at this place, by the Reverend Mr. Lacy, and the collection made for the benefit of said Church in the borough of Norfolk.

NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, December 12.
Mr. Newton moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee of Commerce and Manufactures be instructed to take into consideration the case of the brig George detained in the harbour of Norfolk, with twelve hundred Demijohns of brandy on board, and to report by bill or otherwise—Carried.
Mr. Newton stated that the brig George sailed from Norfolk for Teneriffe, and received in return for her cargo brandy in demijohns—after they were on board the English had issued orders to capture neutrals trading with or having Spanish produce on board—that the master having protested against such orders, applied to the consul, who advised him to endeavour to return to Norfolk, and get further directions from his owners. It is continued Mr. N. a very hard case upon the owners of the brig, for the brandy being in demijohns could not be landed in the United States; and if exported should the British find it upon the sea, it would be entirely condemned. No fraud was attempted, and the parties hoped for relief from this house.
Mr. J. C. Smith from the committee of Claims, instructed to inquire what further steps are proper to remunerate meritorious officers, &c, reported a bill in addition to an act to make provision for persons disabled by known wounds received in the revolutionary war; which was read twice and referred to the committee of the whole.
This bill provides that the provisions of the act of the 3d of March, 1803, shall be construed to extend to all persons, who received actual wounds in the revolutionary war, whether as volunteers or militia, and that they shall be placed on the pension list, though they may have resigned, or have been discharged, or have been in captivity at the termination of the war, and to those who, having during the war received wounds, have since become disabled thereby: authorises the allowance of increased pensions, in cases of such disability, by the secretary at war, on the certificate of two physicians, provided that such augmentation does not exceed a full pension; and prescribes a full pension to a commissioned officer shall be half the amount of his monthly pay, to a non-commissioned officer or private five dollars per month and that no pension shall exceed the half pay of a lieut. colonel.
Tribute to Gen. Wm. EATON. Mr. Bidwell, called for his resolution on this head in order to make an amendment,
by striking out the word "sword" and adding "a gold medal with appropriate devices."
This produced a considerable debate. Mr. Joseph Clay opposed the amendment, he thought a sword the most appropriate reward.
Mr. J. C. Smith, spoke to order, he observed that the resolution could not be amended as it now stood.
Mr. Elliot quoted the vote of last session to commodore Preble, (the resolution was read, which voted a Gold medal to the commodore, asword to each officer serving under him, a months extra pay to the mariners.)
Mr. Elliot continued, and wished the amendment to be adopted, but he thought that a degree of delicacy, and even difficulty, attached, as to the nature of the reward voted. We are informed, continued Mr. E. by the president, that the conduct of Mr. Eaton contributed to effect the peace with Tripoli; if we pay him any compliment, it should be something more than a sword—something worthy the acceptance of an officer of the first grade. When we consider the magnitude of his undertaking, we are astonished. To find a small force, collected from the four quarters of the world, led through the burning deserts of Lybia, by an American, is a phenomenon. If we cannot recognise him as the commander of an army, we can confer upon him every honor as a citizen. It has ever been held to be good policy, especially in republican governments, to reward gallant deeds. A medal was certainly a greater honor, in such a case as this, than a sword: for the latter was presented to the officers who served under commodore Preble.
Mr. SMILIE, was of opinion, to proportion the honorary reward to the services performed we ought to minutely examine how great those advantages are which we have received from Mr. Eaton, and compare them with those of other men, who have received great honors. To undergo the fatigues of seeking out the ex-bashaw, and to conduct the little band through the desert, and finally, to conquer before Derne, required great courage, conduct, and uncommon perseverance. Mr. Smilie thought that Mr. Eaton deserved every thing equal with commodore Preble, whose character he respected.
Mr. Quincy thought a medal, in such a glorious instance as this now before the house, more honorable than a sword, which is not appropriate to the exploits in discussion.
A sword, with energy, continued he, is the reward of valor only, which is but a small part of the virtues of Mr. Eaton. Mr. Quincy wished a subject of this importance, when we are endeavoring to do honor to the actions of a great man, had been referred to a select committee, which might have done his merits more credit than the hasty resolution before us.
'Tis not seeking out the ex-bashaw—'tis not leading his little band through the burning deserts of Asia—nor the victory before Derne, that we reward. It is the idea of a private citizen, called forward by no official duty; but stimulated by that Godlike attribute, philanthropy; coming a volunteer to execute a plan, formed alone in such a noble mind, at which veteran chiefs with reason might tremble—to surmount apparently unconquerable difficulties, across parching deserts, fearless of plague or famine, to pull a cruel usurper from his throne, and thus release his fellow-citizens from cruel bondage. These are the attributes of Mr. Eaton; these are the workings of a great mind. Such is the man we are endeavoring to shew our gratitude to—let us then offer something worthy of such a noble character's acceptance.
Mr. Bidwell's amendment was carried, and the bill referred to a select committee.
Mr. Southard gave notice, that he would to-morrow move for the election of a Chaplain to the house, in place of the Rev. Mr. Glendy, who had declined serving.
Mr. Fisk moved a resolution for instructing the committee of claims to inquire whether any and what compensation ought to be allowed to the collectors of the direct tax.
FRIDAY, December 13. Mr. Speaker informed the house, that their sergeant at arms, S. Wheaton, had been summoned to attend at the trial of John Atkins Burford, the man apprehended on suspicion of robbing, and wounding Mr. Peter.
Ordered, that the sergeant, have leave to attend the same, on Monday next.
Mr. Crowninshield reported a bill for the relief of Theodorick Armistead, of
Norfolk. This bill respects the brig George detained in Norfolk, with twelve hundred demijohns of Brandy on board.
After a lengthy argument, the bill was referred to the committee of Ways and Means.
A letter from the secretary of the treasury was read, stating the necessary appropriations for the year 1806. Referred to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. Thomas reported a bill regulating the grants of land to certain refugees from Canada and Nova-Scotia.
Referred to the committee of the whole, and made the order of the day for Monday.
Report on the petition of Cornelius Brooks, that the prayer be not granted.
On motion of Mr. Quincy this petition was ordered to lie on the table, in order for time for further information on the subject.
The house ballotted for a Chaplain, in the room of Mr. Glendy, resigned: the votes were for the Rev. Mr. Lawrie 62, who was declared elected.
Adjourned.
Petitions presented to the House of Representatives on Wednesday, 11th December 1805.
Petition of Salvador Callotini, stated that he was taken into the service of the United States off Tripoli, by Commodore Preble, and was pilot to his ship; that the great success of the American fleet, was in a great measure owing to his knowledge of the harbor of Tripoli, and to his conduct as a pilot; that he had left his family, and friends, and would be put to death if found in the dominions of Tripoli, in consequence of the assistance he rendered the Americans; that he had crossed the Atlantic to seek protection in the United States. He therefore prayed relief.
Referred to the Committee of Claims. Petition of Nathaniel Elliott, stating that he carried the Mail of the United States twenty-five miles, namely, between Alexandria and Dumfries; that the town of Colchester, (through which the Mail formerly passed) was entirely gone to decay; not a merchant or any man of large business there. That the town of Occoquan was in a flourishing state; and the road by that route was much better, and easier for horses than the road through Colchester; that large quantities of wheat was manufactured at Occoquan, and fifty thousand dollars worth of goods yearly disposed of there; that he had the bye bag, to carry from Occoquan to Colchester above two miles, where the receipts of postage was very trifling. The prayer of the petition was, to remove the post-office from Colchester to Occoquan, and to alter the post road.
Mr. Thomas observed, that as the petition went to alter a post office, it ought to be referred to the Post-Master General; to which it was answered, that it also went to alter a post road.
Referred to the committee of post offices and post roads.

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) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly effectual in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Catarrhals, 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.

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

Elizabeth Bowling. December 7. 2aw6w  Valuable Lands and Negroes FOR SALE.  THE Subscriber desirous of disposing of his distant property, so as to bring his affairs more within his reach and management, offers for sale the following lands and negroes, at prices so reduced as to claim the attention of persons willing to invest money in such property, viz. CHATHAM, that elegant and highly improved seat on the banks of the Rappahannock River, directly opposite the town of Fredericksburg, containing about eleven hundred acres, four hundred of which are in wood, and valuable timber, the rest in cultivation, and pleasure grounds—The land in tillage is level, a considerable part of it has been highly manured, and the whole of it well adapted to the culture of grain, small grain, and Indian corn, as the crop now growing will attest. The house and offices are of brick, and on a large and handsome scale, with a garden in front containing four acres, laid off with taste and well planted with the choicest fruit trees, now in full bearing, and ornamented with forest trees and shrubs of almost every description. There is on the estate adjoining the river, a grist-mill built of free stone, containing the modern machinery and two pair of stones, one of them French Burrs—it commands a large country custom, is well situated for merchant business, and has rented for five hundred dollars per annum exclusive of all the grain of the farm hopper free, which is equal to three hundred dollars more. There are all necessary out houses, for either convenience or luxury, such as ice-house, spring-house, barn, stable, offices, &c. &c. With all these advantages and expensive improvements, this property is offered at a price which the lands alone ought to command. There are also some valuable fisheries, and quarries of free stone on this estate.  Also, a tract of land generally called Clark's , about two miles below Chatham, on the north bank of the Rappahannock river, and within view of the town of Fredericksburg, containing upwards of four hundred acres. About one hundred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahannock river bottom in cultivation, and is well adapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the residue is in wood, surrounding a height, which furnishes a beautiful site for building.  Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, adjoining Stafford town house, containing upwards of twelve hundred acres. This is good farming land, and has several tenants on it.  Also, a tract of land in Westmoreland and Richmond counties, containing upwards of two thousand acres, on which there are also several tenants. These two last mentioned tracts of land will be sold in small tenements, or in entire tracts, as may best suit the wishes of purchasers.  Also, a tract of land called Boyd's Hole , containing about one hundred and fifty acres, on the banks of the Potomac, in King George county, on which there are a comfortable dwelling house, store—and tobacco inspection ware house. Few situations combine more advantages, it being an excellent stand for a store, ferry and tavern, the two first of which are at present kept there. The houses have lately been put in good repair, and the buildings alone will rent for three hundred dollars a year. The land is good in quality, and the situation abounds in fish, oysters and willow wood.  Also, a valuable Scite for a Mill, with 50 acres of Land adjoining, in King George county, and not far distant from the last mentioned tract. There has been a mill here for many years which has lately gone to decay, the dam is substantial and entire, and the situation for a country mill not equalled in that neighborhood, commanding a very extensive custom; the land is covered with cedar, which alone renders it very valuable.  Also, several Lots and Houses in the town of Fredericksburg. Likewise, about two hundred and thirty NEGROES , of different ages, sexes and description. A sale of them by families will be preferred; to effect this they will be offered at a reduced price. As a part of these Negroes are at present attached to the Chatham estate, the purchaser of that property may be accommodated with any number of them, as well as stock of every description.  Bank Stock of any of the Banks in Virginia, Maryland, or the district of Columbia, will be received in payment for any part of this property at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber unable to attend to property so distant, is anxious to convert it into stock.  He will also rent a number of FARMS on his Ravensworth estate, containing from 2 to 400 acres each, on encouraging terms, to good farmers. They lay from eight to ten miles distant from Alexandria, George Town, and the City of Washington, and convenient to the turnpike road now building from Alexandria to the upper country.
