fifteen Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber, in the month of July, 1802, about the 28th or 30th day, a yellow girl about 12 years of age, by the name of AILCEY , which I bought of James Wilson and Robert I. Taylor, of this place. She is a girl of a bold countenance, tolerable straight hair, quite a large mouth, and a small flesh mole on one side or the other of her face, just by her nose; no other marks that I recollect. It is more than probable that she is now lurking in the neighborhood of Alexandria, as her mother lives with Major Wm. Reily of that place. The above reward will be paid for apprehending and securing the said girl so that I get her again.

THEATRE.
On Tuesday Evening, August 9, WILL BE PRESENTED, (For the first time here)
A TALE OF MYSTERY, A Melo Drame.
The MELO DRAME being new to the English and American Stages, it may be necessary to observe, that in this species of Dramatic composition, instrumental Music is occasionally introduced, during the pauses of the dialogue, with a view of heightening the effect, and aiding the expression of those passions which occupy the scene. The present admirable piece may be considered as the first experiment to introduce a new species of Drama:—On the English Stage it has succeeded beyond calculation, and is presented to the public of Alexandria, under the strongest impression, that it will contribute in an eminent degree to their rational pleasures.
End of the Play, Mr. STORY, will sing “The Twins of Latona.”
To which will be added a Farce, CALLED
The MIDNIGHT HOUR: OR, A WAR OF WITS.
Doors are to be opened at 6, and the performance to begin at 7 o'clock precisely. Box 6s. Pitt 4s.
Subscribers are respectfully informed their tickets will be left at Mr Thomas's book store.
The Public are respectfully informed, the Musical Entertainments of the TURNPIKE GATE, and the SIXTY-THIRD LETTER, are in preparation and will speedily be produced.

We presume the readers of the Alexandria Advertiser are pretty generally informed of the existence of a schism between the democratic governor of Maryland, J. F. Mercer, and his democratic council, the leader of which is Mr. Edward Hall, of Anne Arundel county; that in consequence of this schism Mr. Mercer has determined to resign his place as Governor, and offer himself as a candidate to represent the county of Anne Arundel, in the next General Assembly, in opposition to Mr. Hall, for the purpose, as he says, of opposing the disorganizing views of the present ruling party in Maryland, with respect to the alterations proposed relative to the independence of the judiciary of that state. These two precious diamonds have began to cut one another through the medium of the press, which will cut the deepest we cannot pretend to say, with any degree of precision. The following extracts from their respective publications, will enable our readers, in some measure, to form an opinion of the characters of some of the leading stars of the democratic circle in that state..
These extracts are made with a view to exhibit to our fellow citizens democracy, generally, in its proper colours, and, at the same time, to draw the attention of the citizens of this town, to one of the most conspicuous characters in this paper war, we mean Mr. J. T. Mason—that gentleman seems to have the felicity of possessing that very convenient commodity, a short memory, in an eminent degree: although we were very well satisfied with the opinion generally formed by our fellow citizens with respect to the weight which the letter lately published in this paper, addressed to the Editor by Mr. Mason, endeavouring to exculpate our very worthy Colonel from a charge preferred against him, ought to have, yet we conceive it a duty we owe ourselves to strengthen that opinion as much as possible, and point out every circumstance that will enable the public to form a just criterion by which to judge of that gentleman's veracity. An old adage says, a certain description of persons “should have good memories.”
TO THE PUBLIC.
AN infamous and base calumny, fabricated by the honorable John F. Mercer, has been for sometime in vacant whispers circulated against me. Bold in infamy, on Tuesday week, in addressing the people of Anne Arundel county, he had the temerity to charge me with crimes disgraceful to human nature; his information, as he alledged, came from John T. Mason, Esquire. Conscious there was no foundation for the assertion, on Wednesday I proceeded to George-Town to see Mr. Mason; his absence detained me there for several days. His certificate, and documents herewith submitted, will enable the public to form an opinion of the degree of estimation John F. Mercer ought to be held in; they will prove there was no foundation for the charge against me, and that John T. Mason was not the author. No. 1 is a copy of Mercer's certificate, the substance of his verbal address. No. 2, Mr. Mason's certificate. EDWARD HALL.
(No. 1.)
THE CERTIFICATE OF COL. JOHN F. MERCER.
ON complaining to Mr. John Thompson Mason, in conversation, of the conduct of Mr. Edward Hall to me since he had been in the council, Mr. Mason observed, that it was what I deserved for taking him by the hand, that he had given me every caution at the time; I observed that I knew him not; that he was a boy, I believed, when I used to be active in the county; that I knew his friends, and particularly his eldest brother, for whom I had an high esteem and regard, but that I really wished to know of him what he meant by his caution. He told me that he had been employed to recover some money from him, and had left the business in charge of Mr. Cooke, that soon after Mr. Cooke wrote to him, and informed him that Mr. Hall had taken such an oath in the court of chancery, that he must come down himself, and when he came, he found that Mr. Hall had committed a manifest and wilful perjury; that he took him out, shewed it to him, and told him, that as he was a young man he did not wish to ex-
pose him, to go immediately and get the money, & withdraw the oath out of court, or he should be obliged to prosecute him, and take his ears, or words to that effect; that Mr. Hall did so, and went and procured the money, and withdrew his oath. This conversation began in the government garden, but continued until they returned into the house; and the same in substance was repeated by Mr. Mason in the hearing of a third person, a disinterested and competent evidence.

(No. 2.)
Few men of frank and unsuspicious tempers consent, or would expect that their private, confidential, or social conversations, should be published to the world in newspapers or in certificates.—Upon these occasions men often express opinions and suggest doubts as to men, and their motives, which the existing circumstances and relative situations of those in conversation justify, nay, sometimes demand, which they would never publicly express, and would be highly censurable for so doing. This is the first time in my life, I believe, in which my name has been annexed to a certificate of this nature; it is with regret that it is done now, but justice demands it of me; the foregoing certificate has made me the author of charges against Edward Hall, Esquire, which I utterly disavow. Unpleasant as the thing is, I shall proceed to state, fully and particularly as my memory will serve me, every thing that ever passed from me to col. Mercer respecting Mr. Hall.
In November, 1801, previous to the election of colonel Mercer as governor of Maryland, I was invited by him to sup with him in his room at Mr. Caton's tavern, in Annapolis; was informed that Mr. Richard Sprigg, and no other person was to be of the party, and that the object was to have a confidential conversation on the subject of politics. I attended the summons, I think Mr. Sprigg did not, if he did, it was for a very short time. Col. Mercer and myself talked long and freely together, with no other person present; I certainly did not suppose that what I then said was to be published to the world.—Among other subjects of conversation, Edward Hall, Esquire, was mentioned by colonel Mercer, who spoke in the most exalted and extravagant terms of his talents and worth as a man. I observed to colonel Mercer, (as the fact was,) that I had no acquaintance with Mr. Hall, that I barely knew him when I saw him, that I was very much pleased to hear that he was such a man, and hoped that he was not mistaken in the opinion that he had formed of him; but added, that an occurrence had lately taken place which impressed me with rather an unfavorable opinion of Mr. Hall. Colonel Mercer asked what it was I alluded to. I told him that eight or ten years previous to that time, I had instituted several suits for Ignatius Taylor and wife, the representatives of Thomas H. Hall, of Washington county, against the representatives of Edward Hall, father of the present Mr. Edward Hall, for the recovery of a considerable sum of money; that pending the suits, Gabriel Duvall, Esquire, then counsel for the defendants, and myself, had met, and in the presence of the parties, settled all payments made, and discounts claimed by the defendants, to the mutual satisfaction of the parties; that after this Edward Hall's representatives had run Taylor and wife through the various courts of law, and ultimately obliged them to sue the administration bond; that these judgements being assigned by Mr. Taylor to Mr. Cooke, he Mr. Cooke, had lately informed me, that Mr. Edward Hall had sued out an injunction to stay execution, upon the pretence that the proper credits had not been given to his father's representatives; that after what had passed in the progress of this business I could not excuse this proceeding. Col. Mercer expressed a conviction, that upon examination I should find every thing correct as to Mr. Edward Hall; and here the conversation ended. As well as my memory serves me, a few days after I met Mr. Edward Hall at the state house door, expressed my surprize at this bill of injunction, and told him, (as the fact was) that I was just going to the chancery office to read it. He replied, that I need not, that they were under wrong impressions when they filed it, or words to that effect, and
that he would himself go with me into the chancery office and dismiss the bill. He accordingly did so at that instant in my presence. This superseded the necessity of my reading the bill or the oath, and I never did see or read either until Sunday, the 24th July, 1803. In the month of May, or October, 1802, I am not sure which, I was by invitation at the governor's in the evening, I think there was some company there; he requested me, after sunset, to walk in the garden with him, I did so and we remained there until near ten o'clock, when we returned to the house, and I think found all the company gone. During this evening we had much conversation. From the manner in which it was brought about, I certainly had no right to suppose, that any part of it would be the subject of a certificate. The governor then spoke of Mr. Hall in the most opprobrious terms, and stated many things of him of a most ungentlemanlike nature. I do not remember particularly what they were, for my attention was directed to a favorite object, and I thought this a favorable opportunity to urge it. That object was to prevail on Col. Mercer to withdraw, and not to suffer himself to be named governor at the ensuing election. I made the attempt, but without success. In this conversation it is impossible for me to remember all that past it was private, I thought it confidential, and no doubt spoke without reserve. To col. Mercer's very many heavy charges against Mr. Hall, I might have very probably observed, that such conduct was infamous, merited universal abhorrence, or used any other harsh expression that then presented itself; yet I have no recollection that I did so, but it is natural that one friend should do so in answer to another, who was stating the extreme malconduct of a third person. It is also possible, (though I neither recollect, or at this time believe it to be so,) that Col. Mercer, in this conversation, asked me to state what I had before mentioned to him at Caton's and that I did so, with the additional circumstance of Mr. Hall's having dismissed the bill, as I have before stated, upon my speaking to him on the subject. But col. Mercer is mistaken in his statement of what passed between Mr. Cooke and myself, it was as I have above stated, and I never represented it otherwise; and I do most unequivocally declare, that col. Mercer is mistaken, when he states “that I told him that Mr. Hall had committed a manifest and wilful perjury; that I took him, Mr. Hall, out, and shewed it to him, that, as he was a young man, I did not wish to expose him, to go immediately and get the money, and withdraw the oath out of court, or that I should be obliged to prosecute him & take his ears, or words to that effect.” I have before stated, as fully as my memory enables me to do every thing I have ever said to Col. Mercer respecting Mr. Edward Hall.
The only suits ever conducted by me, in which Mr. Edward Hall was in any respect interested, were those suits of Taylor and wife against his father's representatives. In that instance I never saw the bill filed, or the oath taken, until this day, and, therefore, could not have formed such a charge against, or stated such a conversation with Mr. Hall, unless I had fabricated it, of which, I trust, I shall not be suspected by any person, and for which I had no motive. Had I previously read this bill and oath, Mr. Hall would have been equally secure against such a charge, for although I knew no other person on the part of the defendants in this business, except Mr. Edward Hall, I conversed at different times with him about it, and with no other person that I recollect, on the part of the defendants, was told, and supposed he had filed the bill spoken of before, and saw him dismiss it in the chancery office, yet upon examination, I find that he was no party in the legal proceedings, that he took no oath on the occasion, that the bill was filed, and the oath taken, by his brother, Mr. Richard Hall, a man that I know not at all, that Mr. Edward Hall's interference throughout the whole of this business was on behalf of his mother and brother, who are the legal parties in the suit.
As before observed, I stated to Col. Mercer, that the filing of this injunction had made in my mind an unfavorable impression as to Mr. Edward Hall, I then supposed it his act; the subsequent part of this statement, and the bill itself, shew this to have been the act of Mr. R. Hall, & the bill itself will also shew the grounds

upon which Mr. Richard Hall enjoined this judgment; it states facts of which I then knew nothing. I was at a loss to know how Colonel Mercer can have so misconceived this business; I am, at this moment, but slightly acquainted with Mr. Edward Hall, I never in my life knew any thing dishonorable of him, I have always associated with him as a gentleman, and considered him as such.
(Signed) JOHN T. MASON. July 24th, 1803.
TO THE PUBLIC. Having perused a hand-bill issued by Mr. Edward Hall, which contains a certificate of John Thompson Mason, denying what I stated as a conversation between him and myself, it becomes necessary that I should publish the following in a similar mode, but God forbid that I should so far degrade myself as to use similar language. J. F. MERCER.
The affidavit of John F. Mercer. On complaining to Mr. John Thompson Mason, in conversation, of the conduct of Mr. Edward Hall to me since he had been in council, Mr. Mason observed, that it was what I deserved for taking him by the hand, that he had given me every caution at the time; I observed, that I knew his friends, and particularly his eldest brother, for whom I had an high esteem and regard, but that I really wished to know of him what he meant by his caution. He told me that he had been employed to recover some money from him, and had left the business in charge of Mr. Cooke; that soon after Mr. Cooke wrote to him, and informed him that Mr. Hall had taken such an oath in the court of chancery, and that he must come down himself and when he came he found that Mr. Hall had committed a manifest and wilful perjury; that he took him out, showed it him, and told him, that as he was a young man, he did not wish to expose him, to go immediately and get the money, and withdraw the oath out of court, or he should be obliged to prosecute him, and take his ears, or words to that effect; that Mr. Hall did do so, and went and procured the money, and withdrew the oath; this conversation began in the government garden, and continued until they returned to the house; and the same in substance was repeated by Mr. Mason in the hearing of a third person, a disinterested and competent evidence.
On the 23d July 1803, his excellency John Francis Mercer appeared before me the subscriber, chief judge of the general court, and made oath, that this paper contains, in substance and effect the conversation that passed between him and John Thompson Mason relative to Edward Hall, to the best of his knowledge and recollection.
Sworn before, JEREMIAH T. CHASE. Deposition of Miss Margaret Sprigg. On the 23d of July 1803, Miss Margaret Sprigg appeared before me the subscriber, chief judge of the general court, and made oath on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that she was present at the conversation which passed between his excellency John Francis Mercer, and John Thompson Mason relative to Mr. Hall, and that she recollects hearing Mr. Mason inform Mr. Mercer, that to his knowledge Mr. Hall had been guilty of perjury, and that he could have his ears taken off for it; that she does not recollect all the particulars of the conversation, but well remembers hearing the above.
Sworn before JEREMIAH T. CHASE. On the 23d of July, 1803, John Mercer (son of John Francis Mercer) of the age of 15 years, appeared before me the subscriber, chief judge of the general court, and made oath on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that he was present at a conversation which took place between his father and Mr. John Thompson Mason relative to Mr. Edward Hall; that he remembers Mr. Mason informed his father, that Edward Hall had been guilty of perjury, and that Mr. Mason said he took out Mr. Hall, and informed him that unless he paid the money he would have his ears.

Alexandria Advertiser. TUESDAY, AUGUST 9.
From the Alexandria Expositor, of yesterday. The principal Tory paper in Baltimore, which assumes the Paradoxical title of THE REPUBLICAN, or ANTI-DEMOCRAT, is said to exhibit certain symptoms of approaching desolution. Mr. Snowden.
I was not a little surprised at finding the above false and ungrounded assertion in the Expositor, which, it is pretty well known (I believe) has been in, what is vulgarly called, a galloping consumption, for some time past; and unless the Post Master General should administer some of his all powerful emollients in the form of an advertisement for carrying the mails of the United States very soon again, if report speaks truth, must inevitably pop off in a tangent. "The occupier of a glass house should not throw stones."
A Friend to the Anti-Democrat.
Fifteen millions of dollars (the price of Louisiana) calculating more than a ton to every waggon, would require 375 waggons to carry it; and (allowing 4 horses to each team) it would require fifteen hundred horses, they would make a string of five miles in length. The money would support 25 thousand soldiers for seven years and a half, pay at forty shillings a month.
Lancaster, Penn. Journal.
We are told, that the purchase of Louisiana is another splendid era in the political life of Mr. Jefferson. But if it is not treason to ask questions, what is the amount of his merit in this transaction? The restoration of our right at New Orleans, and the extension of that right to the entire jurisdiction of the place is a valuable acquisition. The right of deposit, however, was secured to us by treaty, and its infraction offered a fair justification to reinstate ourselves by force. But this business smelt of gun-powder; it brought to mind the frightful images of war. The marching of a single regiment to New Orleans, was a violation of the pacific system of philosophy. It scattered dismay through all the region of moonshine policy; it struck at first principles. It was, of course, resolved to take in meekness, the buffetings of a wanton and contemptible enemy, to yield our cheek to the fist of the smiter and to send Mr. Munroe. This drained, to the dregs, the cup of humiliation. It offered an opportunity to pay that tribute to France, which Mr. Munroe and the Directory could not extort from Washington. We call it tribute, because it was paying for insult, for what was our own, for what France did not want, and could not keep. If France had, in fact, taken possession, we should then have paid the tribute in some other way. But Admiral Thornborough had orders to watch the expedition to Louisiana; it was therefore prudently abandoned. Bonaparte knew that we had not policy or spirit enough to take possession; but he knew England had. He had nothing to do then, but smile thrice upon Mr. Livingston, which he accordingly did about the eighth of last March. This produced the Memorial, as famous for its puerility and misrepresentation, as it is for its abject flattery of a tyrant. As it happened, not as it was effected by Mr. Jefferson's or Mr. Munroe's or Mr. Livingston's wisdom, there was a pretence for paying fifteen millions of dollars. The purchase of wild acres, by circles of latitude and longitude, sounds largely; there is more surcharge than the dollars would cover. This was a glorious time for Mr. Munroe! The longed for period had come, to tickle his palm with the tribute money which pacific policy, the child of fear, is glad to pay.
It is plain, that events, beyond the controul of Mr. Jefferson, have given the gloss to this transaction. They have covered, what else would have been a naked act of acknowledgement. We do not appear in the attitude of kneeling at the feet of the First Consul, altho' we tell him that we have no idea of resisting a power, before which all Europe has already knelt. A third party appeared, ceremonies were waved, as Bonaparte was in haste to part with what he knew another would soon take, for fifteen millions of dollars. This purchase will cost each man in the United States, who pays taxes, more than
twenty dollars. Here is a map of the country, painted red and yellow, extending to the Pacific Ocean, and including the dogribbed Indians. Here is a line nursery for new States, new stars, & satellites will move round the old Virginia orb. Members of Congress will come to Washington by the way of Cape-Horn. Here will be room enough for experiments upon man in all his varieties. But sober men, before they pay their twenty dollars, will ask if this world of wilderness is necessary or useful. Are we not already scattered over more land than we can cultivate, and have we not enough in a state of nature to resort to for ages? Does not this extension of limits enfeeble us, or will it not raise up independent and hostile neighbours? Is it not better to protect what we already possess, and secure our property at home, before we enter on speculations abroad? (Palladium.)

Under a Decree of the said Court, we the Commissioners will ex- pose to public sale, for ready money, on the premises, at 12 o'clock on Friday the 19th day of August next, That valuable and extensive  F A R M, called Mount Salus, alias Millthorpe, ly- ing in Fairfax county, on Difficult and Wolfe Trap runs; containing by deed 550 acres, and by survey 673 acres. The mansion house is on a high, healthy and agreeable situation, convenient to which are springs of good water. The house is 40 by 18 feet, two rooms on a floor, with a nine feet passage and stair case, 2 brick chimneys, with a fire place to each room, a piazza the whole length of the front, a cellar 40 by 18, walled with stone and divided into two appart- ments. There are several small build- ings, near the mansion house and gar- den. There are, also, a valuable mer- chant and grist mill, saw mill, distillery, miller's house and overseer's house. The mill house is 40 by 30, two story high, half the lower story of stone, the other part of wood, and covered with shingles. There are one pair of Burr and one pair of Cologne stones, three bolting cloths al- most new, one screen, all now in use in manufacturing wheat and grinding grist. The still house 40 by 30, one story high, walls of stone and shingled roof, the floors planked, the upper laid for malting grain, and troughs fixed round the whole house constructed to carry water to every vessel which may need it. Three stills and one boiler can be worked to advan- tage in the said house. The waters of Wolfe Trap, on which the mill and saw mill stand, are constant streams. The situation for country customers, or pur- chasing wheat, is exceeded by none in the county or neighbourhood, not being more than 17 miles from Alexandria or George Town, where there are excellent markets for country produce of every de- scription, and about 19 miles from Wash- ington. The land is fertile and produc- tive, and the soil well adapted to receive improvement from the use of plaster of Paris. There are upwards of 1000 pan- nels of fence on the land, and about 160 or 170 acres of well timbered land belong- ing to the tract. There have been nearly 20 acres of timothy made, lying on Wol- fe Trap and Difficult runs; 50 acres more may be made at a small expence.

A VALUABLE MILL FOR SALE.
THE subscriber wishes to sell his MILL, known by the name of Clif- ton Mill, within two and an half miles of Dun- fries, on the waters of Quantico, which is as constant a stream as any in this part of the country, and in an exceeding healthy situation; very conveniently situated to a fine wheat country, not being more than half a mile out of the way, in going to Dumfries, from the main road lead- ing from Fauquier Court-House, Centerville &c. (and by some thought not any out of the way at all) and a very good road to it. There are, if the purchaser chooses, 227 1/2 acres of land which may go with mill, (except one acre which will be reserved) or a smaller quantity as may be agreed on. The mill is an over-shot, with a wheel of 20 feet 9 inches and 4 feet head, with two pair of Stones. One pair of French burrs of 5 feet, the other of Cologne, with every appa- ratus necessary for carrying on merchant business to the best advantage. The mill house is fifty feet long and twenty seven feet wide, two stories high, with a small kiln for drying corn, together with barn, stable, cow house and lumber house, convenient to the mill. A convenient dwelling house, (not quite finished) with a kit- chen, meat and corn house; the whole of which have been built within 7 years past. There are two very thriving young orchards of peach and other fruit trees. It was supposed, had not the frost killed the fruit this spring, upwards of 100 gallons of brandy might have been made from them. Should the whole of the land be requir- ed with the mill, there is another small house, kitchen and meat house, at a short distance from the former. The situation of this property must render it a desirable acquisition to any person inclined to engage in this line of business, particularly so as it is situated so near tide water. It is deemed unnecessary to say any thing more respecting the premises, as it is presumed any person inclined to purchase would wish to see them. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable pro- perty, but the pressing demands against me which I am anxious to discharge, therefore a great bargain may be expected. Any further information may be known on application to, JOHN SOWDEN, Clifton Mill. Dumfries, June 28. 2aw

For Sale, by  ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT JAUNDICE BITTERS, A MEDICINE extremely useful when Jaundice and Bilious Com- plaints are so prevalent among the citi- zens of America and the West Indies. They are a useful and efficacious Medi- cine for curing Jaundice and Bilious dis- orders, and removing that sinking, faint, distressed feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the forehead of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common in jaundice and bilious people. Also removing constipation of the bow- els, obstructions of urine, cholicy com- plaints, pukings and purgings, indiges- tion, sick head ache, rheumatic complaints, &c.

They are also found very useful to car- ry off worms, and cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all condi- tutions, ages and sexes. The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medi- cine, (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommen- dation.
