OR,
The NEW MAN OF FEELING.
By WILLIAM GODWIN. September 18.

PARIS, August 9.
Vice Admiral Verheul has addressed to his Majesty the Emperor a more detailed report of the engagements of the 28th and 29th of Messidor. These advices have inspired such an interest that we are certain of conferring pleasure to our readers; by laying all the circumstances of the glorious events before them.
To his Majesty Napoleon I. Emperor of the French, and King of Italy.
SIR,
It was impossible, in the first report which I had the honor of laying before your Majesty, to include all the details of the advices of the 28th and 29th Messidor, between a part of the Imperial Batavian Flotilla and a squadron of the English Navy; and not doubting that your Majesty wishes to be informed of all the circumstances of these engagements, as well as the conduct of the brave men who had a share in them, I have thought it my duty to submit a new report to your Imperial and Royal Majesty.
On leaving the Road of Dunkirk, I caused the squadron to range in two columns, so as to keep the fire of both free; I ordered the Commandant of the praams, the brave Capt. Lamour, to lead the outer line, and to place two praams in the centre, and one in the rear, so as to keep the exterior line more compact.
Captain Gerbrands commanded the advancing guard, Capt. Carpentier, the rear guard, and I commanded in person the centre, on board of the gun boat No. 39. The gun boats went under an easy sail, in order to give the praams, which did not sail so well, an opportunity of preserving the order of the battle.
Having arrived off Gravelines towards nine o'clock at night, the enemy's division got under weigh; they remained at anchor until they found themselves abreast of the flotilla, although they might have attacked us much sooner, since the tide was still flowing, and they could consequently make the east at a quarter past nine, the English division commenced its fire at long cannon shot distance; I did not return their shot until they came nearer us; the action then became very warm, the enemy directing their principal attack against our centre and rear. In each of the English ships there was a fire at the main mast, apparently in order not to confound our vessels with theirs; but as we took the precaution to extinguish our fires, we had the advantage of aiming with much more certainty.
Towards ten o'clock, the enemy directed their whole attack against the rear guard, by which means three of our gun boats were much damaged and becoming ungovernable, were run ashore. It was likewise by the same means that the praam, La Ville de Gence, was baffled in her manoeuvres, & grounded during an hour, defending herself vigorously, until the enemy were obliged to abandon her, upon her being got off. she proceeded on her voyage, and was again attacked; and although her main mast was damaged, by the dexterity and bravery of Lieut. Boissev, her commander, she opened for herself a passage, and rejoined the flotilla.
Towards eleven o'clock, the enemy left us the field of battle free, and stood to sea, although nothing prevented their continuing the combat. Having arrived off Calais, I made the signal to prepare to anchor, and soon afterwards to anchor.
I immediately landed and mounted on horseback in order to ride along the coast, and examine the situation of the gun boats that were ashore. I saw with satisfaction the fine position of the formidable light artillery, commanded by general Sorbier, it protected the five* stranded gun boats; two others were also obliged to run ashore, owing to the loss of their rudders. At day break, on the commencement of the flood tide, three of these gun boats floated off, and proceeded on their passage; they were immediately seen by the enemy, & attacked by two sloops of war and two brigs. I observed with infinite satisfaction, that one of the gun boats, commanded by Lieut. Visscher, fired three broadsides, before the sloop of war, which she was engaging, fired once, which obliged the latter to sheer off.
Two gun boats that were more damaged remained on the sand; one of them was
* The three gun boats, which were mentioned in the former part of this dispatch, are now converted into five, and two more are added which had lost their rudders. Verheul does not yet appear to be confident a manufacturer of dispatches as Villeneuve; yet at this is the second amended dispatch respecting these brilliant combats, we should suppose, if the public opinion was regarded of any consequence in France, that these contradictions, to give them no harsher name, might have been rectified.
obliged to disembark her artillery and ballast.
At break of day, we saw the greatest part of the enemy's cruizers in the North West, at a great distance in the offing; at half past 4, they rallied and formed in line of battle.
I returned on board, and shortly afterwards the enemy began to attack us anew: they kept at short cannon shot distance, contenting themselves with throwing a number of shells, several of which bursted close to our vessels, but doing them very little harm.
The fire of our gun boats and praams was well supported, and strongly aided by the land batteries which obliged the enemy to sheer off, about 6 o'clock in the morning, standing in part to westward, seven of their vessels steering to the north west, towards the coast of England, which made us conclude that some of them were too much damaged to be able to keep the sea.
After this action, I ordered, by signal, an account to be rendered me of the damage sustained by the different vessels; and I found that nine gun boats and one Praam were unable to follow the rest of my little squadron. I sent them into the port of Calais. There were besides two gun boats stranded.
I landed in order to concert with the Commandant of the Marine on measures proper to be taken, for the prompt repair of the vessels which I had sent into port, after which I returned on board.
Towards three o'clock in the afternoon, I made the signal to prepare for getting under weigh.
The enemies divisions having availed themselves in the morning, of the tide to get to the westward. I supposed that they meant to take post between Cape Blanc Nez and Cape Grisnez; and that the passage would be entirely free for the vessels which I had ordered to weigh from Dunkirk.
At three o'clock, the wind being ENE, with a good breeze and a clear sky, I made the signal to weigh, and to form in a single line of battle, at a quarter of a cable's distance. My signals were executed with such promptness, that I owe the greatest partise to my officers.
The enemy were in sight at a great distance in the offing, and there were abreast of the flotilla none but look out vessels, which made signal for our being under weigh, as soon as they saw us under sail.
At half past 4, a ship of the line, 4 frigates and three brigs, fell in with us off Cape Blanc Nez, and kept abreast of us. I remarked with pleasure that they hesitated to attack us, and waited the other vessel of their division, which soon joined them, making in all 10 sail. They then formed in line of battle, and began, off Sangate to press us closer; but before they were in reach of our guns, the land batteries threw some bombs which fell at no great distance from them. The enemy also began a cannonade, and I returned their fire; but they kept at so great a distance that I ceased firing. Some moments afterwards, the enemy having approached nearer, I recommenced firing.
The force of the enemy increased successively in such a manner, that when we were off Wissant, it was composed of 43 vessels: the action then became very warm and we made use, on both sides, of grape shot.
Having entered the passage of the Bone Laigne, the order of battle was exactly preserved. Although the passage is not fifty toises broad, and that we were constantly obliged to have the lead in our hands, and often forced to increase or diminish sail, the fire of our batteries was so vigorously kept up, that none of these grand floating castles dared to approach us. On leaving the banks, one gun boat only got a ground, which, by that false manoeuvre, occasioned two others to touch, but they did not cease firing.
Having arrived at the extremity of Cape Grisnez, all the line doubled the Cape in the best order, the three Praams in the rear then kept up a fire which the enemy will long remember.
The manoeuvres of the praams in a passage so narrow, and during an action so warm, do the greatest honour to the Commandant Lamour, and the officers who command them: they merit my highest
† Here again we have an inexplicable confusion of numbers. Three gun boats are stated to have been got off, and two to have remained on the sand; but this makes only five out of seven, which were just now mentioned as being protected by the formidable light artillery of general Sorbier.
‡ It does not, however, appear that any of our vessels have been obliged to come into harbor to refit, in consequence of this redoubtable conflict.
praise. The formidable batteries of Grisnez also kept up a well supported fire, while we were abreast of the Cape.
After the whole line had doubled it, the enemy continued the attack upon the rear-guard: one of the gun-boats was so much damaged that it was obliged to keep close to the shore; some of the enemy's vessels continued firing until we reached Ambleteuse, where I anchored with the squadron; some moments afterwards, the enemy came anew, as if animated by a sentiment of rage, to attack us at anchor, and approached us within grape shot distance; they were answered on our side with as much vigour as at the commencement. A frigate had the audacity to approach nearer than the others, but she paid dearly for her temerity, and was soon forced to sheer off; we saw distinctly that she suffered much, and that a great deal of confusion existed among her crew. I left the vessels in the road, and caused to enter, with the night tide, seven of the gun boats that had been most damaged.
The enemy's squadron stood to sea, and a strong division anchored two leagues from the coast, abreast of Ambleteuse; we observed that a great number of their vessels made the coast of England.
On the following morning I had the satisfaction of seeing 34 vessels arrive from Dunkirk, at Calais, without firing a single gun, the enemy having directed their whole attention to the side of Ambleteuse.
The gun boats that went aground on the Blanc-a-Ligne, came also into the road, and one gun boat only, stranded near Odreselle, did not enter until the following tide.
These results of the combats, as obstinate as unequal, are all in our favor, since we have not lost a single armed boat; and although the enemy had at least 900 cannon directed against us, and that we had only 180 on our 21 gun boats and our 3 praams, they were not able to stop us a single moment on our passage, nor even to derange our order of battle; although there were several boats much damaged, there was only one that quitted the line, and that only as she was about to sink.
I ought again to do justice to the officers who commanded in the last affair, and I have the honor to name them here, in order to make them known to your Imperial and Royal Majesty; they are, for the three praams, M. M. Coron, Mestdagh, and Cloupet; and for the 21 gun boats, M. M. Van der Loeff, Bolken, Metman, Schotman, Waardenburg, Ribbing, Van der Hart, Hinx, Van der Pels, Reigig, Tuchs, Victor Gerhards, Sels, Caspers, Lutenkens, Van Berenstern, Bodel, Morreel, Olive, and Osséwarde, junior. They all merit the greatest praise, as well for their promptitude in executing my orders, as their exactness in answering my signals, and the valor with which they sustained the combats, so that one gun boat fired 245 times with her battery of two 24lb. cannons. The officers of the eleven gun boats, which were obliged to go into Calais, are M. M. Bezemer, Sail, Houkoper, Reins, Van Ginkel, Berghuis, Memeling, Dillie, De Visscher, Hemmes, and Hoogdaalen; they also merit my praise.
Without permitting myself to estimate the damage that may have been sustained by the enemy, every thing leads me to presume that they have suffered more than ourselves, if it be considered that the great bodies of their ships offer a point more certain of being hit than our small vessels, so little elevated above the surface of the water.
I ought to render the justice that is due to the two English rear admirals, who were engaged in the action; they made every effort to destroy us; their order of battle was well preserved, and some of their vessels shewed an audacity, seldom to be met with; the obstinacy with which they fought us is worthy of having been opposed to the united arms of your Imperial and Royal Majesty, and the Batavian republic.
My good fortune in having on board the brave Marshal of the empire, Davonot has afforded me the highest satisfaction, since he was an eye witness of the ardour with which the crews and garrisons rivalled each other; and I dare flatter myself that your Imperial and Royal Majesty, will see in this affair a new proof of the ardor of all the Batavians for your glorious cause which they are called upon to support.
I commend myself to the high protection of your Imperial and Royal Majesty; and I have the honor to be with the most profound respect, and the most inviolable devotion, sire, your Imperial and Royal Majesty's most humble and most obedient servant.
VERHUELL,
The vice-admiral, minister of marine, commander in chief of the Batavian flotilla.
Ambletesque, 7 Thermidor, year 13."
August 31.
[From French and Dutch papers.]
The frontiers of the empire seem to be menaced by the movements of the Austrian armies. Thirty thousand men are to march from the camps of Boulogne to the banks of the Rhine. This intelligence may surprise those who have even foreseen it.
In fact we might foresee that the envious hatred of the British cabinet, and the fear with which the genius of the Emperor Napoleon fills it, would induce Mr. Pitt to exhaust all the efforts of intrigue and corruption, to divide the dangers that menaced England, and make the continent share them with her; but we may well be astonished that Austria should have so soon forgotten the lesson of experience, and that she should still give herself up to those sinister councils which have twice dragged her to the brink of a bottomless abyss.
Vanquished for several years, she had received from the magnanimity of the conqueror, more advantages than she would have dared to demand after victories; and it is against the hero, who, respecting courage and misfortune, stopped in his triumphs and twice saved her by a generous peace, that she is going to rekindle, at the voice of a perfidious ally, a war, which to her, will have neither legitimate object nor end.
But there is in future more than one day of Marengo to France and Austria.
The Hungarians, the Germans, will perhaps be tired of shedding their blood to preserve to the English the commercial and naval despotism which has so often insulted the Austrian flag. The French will never be tired of fighting for the freedom of the seas, from which it is wished to banish them—for the defence of their property which it is wished to destroy—for the prosperity of their manufactures, which it is wished to stifle—for the majesty and greatness of the empire which only wound the pride of their enemies; they will be faithful to the remembrance of their past glory, and to the sentiment of their present happiness.
In the storm of the revolution, when we were without chief, without law, without union, without government, and without bread, we made coalesced Europe respect the independence of our territory. The revolution is at an end, order is restored, the state flourishing; he who restored laws, victory and honor leads on our soldiers, and presides over our destinies. Half Europe is for our success, even though it is fighting against us; it is easy to see on which side the danger will be.
A decree was made by his majesty, at the imperial camp of Boulogne, on the 26th, concerning the levy of the conscription for the year 14. Pursuant to this decree, the 30 000 conscripts for the year 14, which by virtue of the law of the 27th Nivose, year 13, are to be raised to complete the army to its establishment, and the thirty thousand to remain as a reserve, or to raise the army to the war establishment, are to be put into actual service.
VIENNA, August 21.
We learn that government has given orders for marching 15 000 men to reinforce the troops in the Tyrol. They are composed of veteran infantry and hussars. The Archduke John, is to command in the Tyrol, with General Mack for his second.
The troops destined for the camp of Baden, are on the march; to which the regiments in Bohemia are to be united. Three other camps are forming, one near Gratz; another near Luzemburg; and third near Luitz.
[Moniteur.]
August 14.
On the 12th instant the levy of recruits commenced here, and in all the hereditary dominions of the emperor, with great activity. The movements of troops are also continuing.
August 15.
Notwithstanding all the appearances of an approaching rupture, many people are of opinion, that war will not take place, but that more probably a congress will be held. However, it is very likely, that the whole army will be placed on the war establishment, by the first of September. Moreover, it is positively asserted, that several battalions of the frontier troops are already on their march to Italy, pursuant to orders; and that 90,000 Russian troops are already on the Austrian frontiers. A great military promotion is also spoken of, in which a field marshal, some generals, and major generals, will be appointed.
On the 13th instant a train of 102 pieces of cannon, with the necessary ammunition, left Vienna for Italy; and the road from

to Bilen is so covered with troops travellers can hardly pass that way. On the 20th of this month, the archduke will set out on his journey to Italy. The archduke has ordered that in future, none of the officers of foot, from captain down to ensign, both included, shall be permitted to have any horses. Their camp equipage must consist of no more than two uniforms, six pair of boots, six pocket-handkerchiefs, and two cravats. By this regulation, the officers will save much unnecessary expense, and the conveyance of the baggage by land carriage will be much more convenient.
They write from Milan, the 30th of July, as follows: 'The French troops in Italy have been in constant motion, for this past week; and they assemble in great numbers, on the Austrian frontier, especially on the river Chiese, where near Riva del Garda, an army of 30,000 men is already assembled; the destination of which is not yet known. The fortifications of Verona and Mantua are also placed in the strongest state of defence.'
Switzerland demands the protection of Austria; and has sent deputies to Vienna, for that purpose; but no answer has been returned. Generals Strauch and Weissenwolf have proceeded to Gallica to guide the march of the Russian troops. Amidst preparations for war, there are hopes of peace. It was said Bonaparte yielded; but this is not believed; as it is agreeable to his character to yield; and affairs are so entangled that it would be difficult for him to give way. It is more generally thought that he will risk every thing. If hostilities do not commence this week, they will certainly begin in the spring.
NASSAU, (N. P.) Oct. 4. Capture of the Spanish privateer schooner Claminine, by the Duke of Athol, captain Underwood. The Spanish privateer schooner Claminine, carrying one 18 pounder, two 3's, musketry, pikes, &c. and 33 men, (lately commanded by captain Wasson) arrived yesterday, prize to the privateer vessel of war, the Duke of Athol, captain Underwood. On the 3d of September the Duke of Athol fell in with the Spanish privateer, when the latter gave chase. Captain Underwood opposing the contest to be unequal bore away, for at this time he had only one 4 pounder and some small arms on board. Having thrown overboard in a severe gale a few days previous one 9 pounder; the Spaniard gaining on her fast, when within shot, fired several times from an 18 pounder with canister shot which wounded three men and did considerable damage. The hull and rigging; captain Underwood returned him a well directed fire of musketry, which killed the captain and wounded the first lieutenant, drove them from their guns, and they thought proper to sheer off. & bore away for the Lagoon, (chased by captain Underwood) in which attempting to gain the ground, when captain Underwood came up with and boarded her; the Spaniards on their approach ran below, and she was taken possession of.
Captain U's. conduct on this, as on every other occasion, reflects much credit on him. He arrived yesterday in the Claminine, in a very bad state of health.
Capture of the Spanish felucca Ildefonso. We are glad to announce that the boat the Alexandrine, has captured the armed felucca Ildefonso, which robbed twenty negroes from Mr. Barton's plantation on Andross island a few weeks past. The negroes had been landed previously at San Carlos Remedios—the picaroon endeavoured to avoid capture, by sheltering a considerable distance up the river Sagua Grande; on the approach of the boats, discharged at them one 4 pounder, which did no harm; and before they could make a second fire, the musketry of the boats compelled the crew to seek for shelter in the mangroves.
very one of which was fitted out for the express purpose of infesting these islands & capturing licenced traders. The felucca Ildefonso had captured a schooner licenced trader from this port which was recaptured and delivered to the owner.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1.
We mention with pleasure, (says the Norfolk Ledger) that General Ferrand, has caused the ship George of this port, and her cargo, captured by a French privateer, to be restored.

NAVAL PROTECTION. Our democratic editors in various parts of the Union, (says the Augusta Herald) appear extremely solicitous for something like naval protection to our commercial citizens; knowing as they do that our government derives almost its entire revenue from commerce and finding this commerce continually harassed, and insulted, they ask with earnestness for something like federal aid, to save it from total destruction, and our merchants from extensive ruin. These hypocritical time serving sycophants, seem to have forgotten, that a few years ago, they joined the cry of those now in office against the former administration, because as it was asserted they had introduced an expensive naval establishment, which was alleged to be a foundation for incalculable evils, intending to corrupt our seamen, to assimilate our government to that of England, and finally to overthrow our republican institutions.
This therefore with every other wise measure of the former administration was reprobated, and the ships they have provided, were dismantled and sold, or laid up to rot, while our commerce was left a prey to the unprincipled freebooters of all nations, and our seamen subjected to the insults of every maritime power upon the globe; till the losses of our citizens exceeded by far the expense of the naval establishment, and until the mildness with which one act of injustice was borne, inviting a repetition of aggressions, the insults and injuries are brought home to our very doors, our ships are taken at the very mouths of our rivers, and a universal emulation appears to be excited between the ships and privateers of Great Britain, France, and even Spain, which shall be most benefited, by depredations on a commerce, which seems as it were, to be the common sport of all the world. And now forsooth we hear these patriotic editors with hypocritical pretensions of regard for the interests of their fellow-citizens, asking when we shall be protected from these accumulated and daily increasing evils? and even the administration rousing from their trance of fancied security, and rubbing their eyes after their philosophical slumbers, have fited out the frigate Adams, calculating probably that her name will at least be respected, and commanding her to go on the coast and see how things are going on there: and it is said in several papers, that arrangements are making for compleating six seventy fours.
The present administration will yet find, that not only to preserve their popularity but even to save the country, they will have to follow the footsteps of their predecessors. A few more rising and setting suns, will unfold to the whole community the difference between sound and substantial policy, and the superficial arrangements of temporary expedience; and they will find they have exchanged that system which alone can render the nation dignified and respectable, for the expensive economy of political humiliation, and have displaced their real and faithful friends, for mushroom politicians, and philosophical theorists.
FROM COBBETT'S POLITICAL REGISTER. Naval Victory. —Since writing the above news of Sir Robert Calder's victory over the combined fleets has reached me. Upon
such a subject there is no room for anything but congratulation, except it be an expression of most severe mortification, that Lord Nelson did not come up with the enemy; and upon this topic I cannot refrain from quoting the ministerial newspaper, the SUN of Wednesday, and expressing my hearty concurrence in its sentiments. "We cannot close this article without paying our feeble tribute of praise to Lord Nelson, to whose uncommon vigilance, skill, and judgment, the nation is greatly indebted on this occasion. Although he was not for unate enough to overtake the flying enemy, yet it was his NAME that drove them in disgrace from the West-Indies; it is to his skill and judgment, in ascertaining exactly the course which the enemy had taken, and his prudence in sending off dispatches home, and to the different commanders on the coasts both of France and Spain, that this fortunate rencontre may be attributed, and that our fleets have been so reinforced as to enable them successfully to cope with the enemy."—This opinion respecting the conduct of his Lordship, in his pursuit of the combined fleets, and also respecting the weight and worth of his name in the deliverance of the West-India islands, the readers of the Political Register will remember to have heard expressed before. I do not, however, mention that circumstance with a view to lessen the merit of the above quoted acknowledgement, but in order to shew, that notwithstanding our disagreement upon our subjects; notwithstanding our political hostility, we all agree in the admiration of, and in our gratitude towards, this skillful, vigilant, gallant, and public spirited commander. To all, and to every one singly, praise be given; but chiefly to him, who has not only saved our possessions from being ravaged, and our name from being disgraced, but to whom it is to be ascribed, that others have had an opportunity of serving their country, and distinguishing themselves—Amidst our applause of Lord Nelson, and of our other brave countrymen concerned, we ought not to forget the detestation, due to the perfidious and viperous American captain, by whose lies he was misled. An opportunity will offer for doing justice to the character of those sons of mischief and of malignity, the American captains, the greatest part of whom (I speak with some, but with few exceptions) may, with perfect truth, be ranked among the most base and infamous of mankind. The numerous and glaring instances of partiality, which they shewed to our enemy during the last war, were, by many persons in England, ascribed to their enthusiasm in the cause of liberty and republicanism. Is that their motive now? No: they feel no enthusiasm in any cause but their own. They have but two passions, love for themselves and hatred for us. They hate England because they have been guilty of base ingratitude towards her; and, because they envy their former fellow subjects, who, in spite of the Pitts and the Melvilles, are more happy and ten thousand times more free, than the Americans, with all their boasted independence. Let no man believe, that they are to be won by concessions: how many hundreds of the acts of kindness have they received from that navy which they have now betrayed; and with known many hundreds of lies and false oaths have they requited their benefactors!—No more of them at present; but I certainly will take an opportunity of putting upon record some facts, which shall serve to make known to the world the true character of this malignant and despicable race of men.
From Poulton's American Daily Advertiser.
COMMUNICATION. The city of Derne, in Africa, the scene of the recent gallant exploits of our countryman general Eaton, composed one of the five principal cities which distinguished the province of Cyrena, by the name of Pentapolis. Darnis or Derne is the first city: Cyrene the second is now called Curin, and is in ruins; the sea port was Appollonia and is now named Marsa-Susa, or Sosush. Ptolemais, the third city at a distance from the sea, now bears the name of Tolomeita. Tocuha, the fourth city, was called Arsinoe under the princes of Egypt, and still remains. The situation of Adiene agrees with that of the present Ben-gazi, but Berenice, another of the five cities, It appears, says D'Anville by a particular testimony, is the same as Bernie, and Ben-gazi and Bernie, are different names for one
* Pinkerton has fallen into a strange mistake—He says, 'the name according to D'Anville was originally that of the province as containing three cities.'—Philadelphia edition vol 2d. p. 579—the derivation of the word establishes the point.
place." It is to be regretted that D'Anville has omitted to state the particular testimony to which he alludes. The desert of Libya is truly classic ground—and Lucan has described in strong terms the sufferings of Cato, with the remainder of Pompey's motley arm, after the battle of Pharsalia. It appears from the statement of Mr. Peck, that the hardships which Eaton's army suffered with so much patience were little if at all inferior to those of the Roman commander and his troops: Hereafter the history of Derne will be constantly connected with the circumstance of the liberation of our unfortunate countrymen from Tripoline slavery, and future travellers, and historians will dwell on the praises of the commander who planned the expedition, and the Heroes who were engaged in bringing it to a happy issue.
The "Clef du Cabinet" a Paris paper, edited at the office of M. Pottierand,—thus characterizes the democrats of the United States:—Speaking of Mr. Monroe, this paper adds, "He is very popular and powerful with his party, the aristocrats; who are attached to France, and hatred to England, do them equal harm in the eyes of all foreigners, as being the enemies of mankind." Takeyrand alluded some years ago to the United States, and knew the intrepidity, well. But when one of his licenced writers talks of liberty and independence, after that, to use a vulgar phrase, "a hostile text came in to be shaven."

Taxes of every kind on all the said property are fully paid up to include 1805.

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 wishing 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 grass, 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 court 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 wild fowl.
Also, a valuable Site 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, sizes 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.
