American Captives in Tripoli.
[The particulars of the unfortunate capture of the Philadelphia frigate by the Tripolitans, have already been before the public. Dr. Cowdery, who was on board the frigate, was taken into captivity with the rest of his countrymen; but, from circumstances which will transpire in this narrative, he had the good fortune to be permitted to visit all parts of the town, and many curiosities in the country—to see the manners and customs of the inhabitants, and to learn their characters and dispositions.—He kept a regular journal from the time of his capture, to the day of his release, in which he noted as circumstances would admit, every thing novel or remarkable. Since his return he has obligingly favored us with a perusal of this journal; and has given us permission to select some parts of it for our paper.— Hudson Balance. ]
Extracts from the Journal of Dr. Cowdery, kept during his captivity in Tripoli.
After the flag of the Philadelphia was struck, and the officers and crew were waiting the pleasure of their new masters, the Tripolitan chiefs collected their favorites, and, with drawn sabres, fell to cutting and slashing their own men, who were stripping the Americans and plundering the ship.—They cut off the hands of some, and it is believed several were killed. After this battle amongst themselves was a little over we were ordered into the boats to be carried on shore. One of their officers, whom I had taken by the hand, and who promised me his friendship, came to me, took me by the arm, and told me I must go. I asked him to let my boy go with me, which he refused. I then took hold of my small trunk, which contained my best clothes. He gave me to understand that I could not take it, but should have every thing taken care of, and restored to me. He took hold of my hand and hurried me over the side of the ship, while his other hand was employed in rifling my pockets, from which he took about ten dollars. I had concealed some gold in my clothes, which he did not find. I then went down into one of their boats from whence I was to pass into the next, which was almost full of our officers and men. I made all haste to get into it, for I observed that the Turks in the boat where I then was, were stripping my messmate Dr. Harwood and the carpenter, Mr. Godby; but I was soon stopped by 3 of the ruffians, who stood over me with drawn sabres and cocked pistols, and wrested my surtout from under my arm. Whilst they were picking its pockets, and quarrelling with each other for the booty, I sprung for the next boat which was waiting for me. In my way, I met a little fellow, who seized me, and attempted to get off my coat; but I hurled him into the bottom of the boat, and jumped into the one which was waiting, amongst my fellow officers, where I thought the Turks were more civil. They then set off for the town, compelling our men to row the boat and standing with drawn sabres over our heads. When we had got near the shore, they ordered our men to stop rowing. Two of them came to me and gave me a severe blow on the side of the head. They then searched me, and took a case of surgeon's instruments from my pocket. They took my pocket book, but finding it contained nothing but papers, they returned it. One took my silver pencil, and another the handkerchief from my neck. They then began upon Mr. Knight, sailing master, Mr. Osborne, lieutenant of marines, and all the officers in the boat, and plundered their pockets and took the handkerchiefs from their necks. They then landed us at the foot of the Bashaw's palace, where we were received by a guard who conducted us into the palace before the Bashaw. He viewed us with the utmost satisfaction, and had us conducted into an apartment where we found the captain and several officers, who arrived in another boat just before us. Here was a table set in the European style. The servants appeared to be Maltese and Neapolitan slaves. Here we supped, after which it was announced that another boat had arrived with our officers and men, who were before the bashaw. Captain Bainbridge requested me to go and look for Dr. Harwood, whom it was feared was killed. I found him with the carpenter before the bashaw, stripped of every thing but their shirts and trowsers. They afterwards informed us, that they were stripped in the boat where I lost my surtout; and when they got within a few rods of the shore, they were thrown into the sea, and left either to drown or swim ashore. The bashaw's servant gave them dry clothes; and we were all again conducted before the bashaw, and formed into a half circle. He was seated
on his little throne, which was decorated in the Turkish order, and made a handsome appearance. He is a good looking man, aged about thirty-five. He counted us, viewed us with a smile, and appeared highly pleased with us. We were then conveyed by the minister of exterior relations and a guard, to the house formerly occupied by the American consul; a very good house, with a large court, and roomy enough for our convenience. We were seated here about nine o'clock in the evening. Captain Bainbridge got permission from the bashaw to send for the Danish consul, who paid us a visit and offered every assistance in his power. We slept upon mats and blankets spread upon the floor, which was composed of tiles.
November 1. This morning the Danish consul, Mr. Nissen paid us another visit. Captain Bainbridge engaged him to furnish us with provision and such other necessaries as we might want. Our dwelling was furnished in a plain stile, and we were supplied with provisions that were tolerably good. We were allowed to go the front door, and walk on the terrace or top of the house, which commanded a handsome prospect of the harbour, the sea, the town, the place and the adjoining country.—Here we could see our ship on the rocks, full of Turks and surrounded by their boats and a constant stream of boats going to & bringing off the plunder of the ship. We could see these robbers running about town with our uniform coats, and other clothing on. The minister of exterior relations promised to be friendly, and collect as much of our clothing and effects as he could, & return them to us.
November 3. The bashaw sent for the carpenter to go on board the ship, he went and found six feet water in the hold. The carpenter's crew and fifty men were ordered and carried on board to work at night. A gale of wind and a heavy sea drove the ship off the rocks, and the carpenter returned.
November 4. —In the morning lieutenants Hunt and Osborne, and myself were at the Danish consul's observatory, on the top of his house up a plane with a joining ours, which together made a large and handsome walk. We were looking at the ship with Mr. Nissen's glass, when our drogeman came and informed us that the bashaw had ordered us not to walk upon the terrace any more. We immediately returned to our house.
November 5. —Our new masters came and closed up the passage which led to the top of the house; and a guard was set at the front door to prevent our going into the street. The minister sent his chief secretary with a parole of honor, written in French which we all signed.
November 6. —We found that we were not allowed to go out, notwithstanding our signing the parole of honor. The minister of exterior relations sent us word that he had got eight of our trunks which we might have for twelve hundred dollars. We did not take them nor thank him for his hospitality. We purchased new blankets sent to us by the Danish consul. The English consul, Mr. M'Donald, paid us a visit and offered us every assistance in his power.
November 8. —The Jews purchased some of our clothing and offered it to us at an enormous price; but we purchased but little of it. The bashaw sent for capt. Bainbridge and told him that John Wilson had informed him that captain Bainbridge before hauling down the colours, threw over nineteen boxes of dollars and a bag of gold. Captain Bainbridge assured him it was false, and gave his word and honor that there was no money thrown over to his knowledge, but that the money in question was left at Malta. In the evening the bashaw not being satisfied, sent for the captain's servant, and ordered him flogged if he did not tell the truth concerning the money. The boy denied having any knowledge of it. After repeating the threat several times, and the boy insisting on his not knowing any thing about the money, he was acquitted. Wilson had turned traitor, and given the enemy all the assistance in his power. He now acts as overseer of our men.
November 9. —Our captain established a credit with the Danish Consul, who supplied us with necessary provision, and with cloth for mattresses. A guard was posted at our door, to prevent our going into the street, or purchasing any books or clothing.
November 10. —Several Turks came and informed capt. Bainbridge that the Bashaw had been told that capt. Rogers, who commanded the U. S. frigate John Adams, treated the Tripolitan prisoners taken last summer, very bad; and that they feared we should suffer for it.
We have plenty of pomegranates, dates
and oranges. The Danish Consul visits us every day.
November 13. —The minister of exterior relations sent his drogeman to capt. Bainbridge, and informed him, that if he would send an immediate order to commodore Preble, to deliver up the Tripolitan prisoners captured by capt. Rogers last summer, amounting to about eighty in number, we might remain where we were, but if he did not comply we should fare worse. Capt. Bainbridge replied that he could not command commodore Preble, and therefore could not comply with his request. At 9 in the evening a Tripolitan officer, came armed with two pistols and a sabre, and said, To-night, nothing; to-morrow the castle. We accordingly prepared for the castle.
November 14. —Breakfasted early, to be ready for our new habitation. At 9 A. M. a guard came and ordered us to the castle. We formed agreeable to rank, and marched to the castle. We were huddled into a most gloomy cell, amongst our men, where there was hardly room for us to stand.—Here we spent the day without food, and were scoffed at by our foes until night, when, to our happy surprize, we were conducted back to our old place of abode. The minister of exterior relations sent for captain Bainbridge, and affected great surprize at our going to the castle, saying that he knew nothing of the measure; which we all knew to be false. He told Capt. Bainbridge that we should remain where we were, until he heard from his people, the prisoners in the hands of the Americans.

FROM THE UTICA PATRIOT.
ADVICE.
WE ought to be willing and sometimes forward to give advice to others relating to the affairs of life and conduct. In some cases it is a solemn and inviolable duty to counsel a friend, whether he desires it or not. In travelling together the journey of life, we often have an opportunity to shew a perplexed passenger the way out of his entanglement, and to step up to him who has lost his road and wants a guide, saying "this is the way, walk in it." By properly embracing such occasions, they particularly, whom abilities, attention or experience have made skilful judges of what is good and evil, safe and dangerous, will be instrumental, in many instances, of directing the ignorant and putting the mistaken and deluded right. They will often do the greatest service to the YOUNG, whom by this method, they will rescue from many a snare and save from many a pang.
There is indeed much ground for the complaint that advice is generally thrown away. Those we would influence through decency perhaps consent to hear us, and then do as they please: never suspecting "that their feelings blind their judgment and that the passions are then the most to be distrusted, when they appear most reasonable."
But the little effect of good advice is not always owing to the refractory disposition of the receiver, but is often partly the consequence of the improper motives and manner of the giver. It should spring from love and be guided by prudence. To show authority or superior wisdom, it is frequently offered—at unsuitable times, and in a haughty and provoking manner. We have seen those who appear willing that their counsel should not be followed, that they may afterwards triumph in publishing the consequences of disregarding it. But if there are any sincerely desirous to be useful in this way and who will use, as much pains to persuade others to act wisely and virtuously as we are ready to do in bringing them over to serve our own interests, it is certain that much good may be done by judicious and friendly reproof.
When our opinion is directly and sincerely asked on a point of consequence, it is both unjust and unkind to refuse it, as it is base to give it with an artful reserve. When not asked by those who need it, the omission may proceed from ignorance or timidity: from not knowing that they need it and not perceiving their fault or their danger. In such a case we must not wait to be consulted. "Not every bystander indeed is authorized to meddle in other men's affairs and conduct." But they who know the circumstances and possess weight must be cautioned against being too backward to this benevolent office, through fear of losing labour or giving offence.
A few words in some instances may prevent great mischief; possibly ruin; and if they are ineffectual at first, there may be much room for hope and much encouragement for benevolence to persevere. Where authority is joined to earnestness and affection, there is ground to expect
much success. By rational instruction and unwearied persuasion a parent may acquire a control over the heart of his child, and lead it to virtue and to heaven. He may render his offspring a service, in comparison with which wealth is a bauble. The poor man upon his dying pillow, who has fulfilled his duty, as able to say, "silver and gold I had none, but such as I had, gave I unto my child, I have given you good counsel enforced by good example. I have taught you to obey the dictates of conscience and seek the favor of God." This reflection is a reviving cordial in this extremity of nature. May it be yours in the same awful hour.
LONDON, September 7.
FRANCE & PRUSSIA. —It would seem from the following extract of a private letter from Altona, dated August 27, that a strong report prevails at Paris of the conclusion of an offensive and defensive treaty between Prussia and France:
"A letter from Paris, received this morning, written by a person whose judgment and means of information may be depended upon, states, "for two days past, not the least doubt has been entertained here of a continental war, and we have been in hourly expectation of hearing that hostilities have commenced; indeed it is asserted that they have already taken place. If it is true, as is generally reported, that a treaty offensive and defensive has been entered into between France and Prussia relative to Swedish Pomerania, Austria may find herself in a very critical situation; at all events, she must bear the onus in a war, which, according to all appearances, may be expected to be directed immediately against her in a most vigorous manner."
To this letter we cannot attach all the credit with which the writer wishes it should be received.
The Amsterdam Courant of a very recent date, which was received this morning, is said to contain intelligence of the actual march of a French army into the Empire. It is added that the army of Hanover has been joined by a considerable body of Prussians. We notice these statements but as mere rumours.
In our several columns we have given very copious extracts from the French and Dutch papers, of which we received several sets at a late hour last night, the former to the 28th ultimo, and the latter to the 1st instant. They do not furnish us with a single article of intelligence from which a decisive inference can be drawn as to the issue of the negotiations which have been so long pending between France and Austria. Notwithstanding the menacing attitude assumed on both sides, neither party seems disposed to precipitate a contest; and in the journals subject to the influence of each, hopes are studiously held forth of an accommodation of all existing differences. Austria seems to be completely aware of the importance which she has regained by the quarrel between Russia and France; and she, perhaps, still finds it convenient to avoid giving a direct answer to the applications of either.
With the impression of past events still fresh in their recollection, it could not be expected that the cabinet of Vienna would come to a speedy decision as to the line of policy to be adopted in the present perplexed state of affairs.—The question which they have to determine is extremely delicate. If they remain neutral they may rely on the forbearance of the French Emperor; and it is not improbable that their sovereign may be admitted to share in some fresh scheme of spoliation.
Should they on the other hand, listening to more generous counsels, openly declare in favor of Russia, can they place equal reliance on the assistance of that power amidst every vicissitude of fortune? Are they sure that the conduct of the Emperor Paul in the year eighteen hundred, is so much detested, that there is no fear of its being imitated by the Emperor Alexander? Is the latter so fortified against all the arts of French intrigue, that there is no risk of his again assuming the character of a mediating power, for the purpose of degrading the house of Austria, and of compelling the Germanic body to a new system of indemnities? These are considerations which cannot escape the attention of the minister of Austria; nor ought it to excite surprize if they hesitate to put to hazard their immediate national interest, in the expectation of ultimately contributing to the restoration of the balance of power.
Switzerland will, probably, become the next annexation to the overgrown dominion of France, and form an additional proof of the Corsican's desire to maintain peace, and to keep her within her natural limits. In his eyes, the virtuous struggles of the Swiss for their independence may furnish

ple reasons for further oppression. t be remembered that when he address- the Helvetic Deputation, he carped a deal about his respect for the Swiss character and the necessity there was for inseparable connexion with France as protector. The same mendacious will be repeated, when he gives the stroke to the political existence of once happy Canons. Our Poet has viewed him with appropriate language the Soliloquy of Satan, when he beheld, malignant eye, the first of mankind.
"League with you, I seek, And mutual amity to strait so close, That I with you must dwell, or you with me, Henceforth." Public reason just, Incongruous; compe's me now To do what else I should abhor, To do the Fiend and with necessity The tyrant's plea, exculp' his dew i'p' deeds"
HAMBURG, August 27. Letters from St. Petersburg state that the regiments in garrison at St. Peters- burg had received orders from the war de- partment to make every necessary prepara- tion for a speedy march. A letter from a most respectable house at Riga, has, since the last post day, been publicly hand- about in this city, stating that the total force of the Russian army which has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march, amounts to 280,000 men; and that the Russian vessels ready to set sail to join the fleet now in the Baltic, amounts, to ten ships of the line, making altogether 28 sail of the line. A considerable body of troops is ready to embark at Odessa, for the Black Sea. A second division is also ordered to move for the same destination, under the command of general Tolstoy.
BOSTON, October 28. From France. — By an arrival at Portland, from Bordeaux, French accounts are receiv- ed late as the 13th September. They aver, but briefly state, that it was the general opinion in France, that war between this country and Austria would be declared in the course of a few days; and that in consequence of this expectation a great amount of business prevailed throughout the maritime ports.
NEW-YORK, November 1. Yesterday arrived at this port the United States brig Hornet, Isaac Chauncy, Esq. commander, in 48 hours from Hampton Roads. The Hornet is a beautiful new vessel, burthen nearly 500 tons, mounts 18 guns, but is to carry 18 for y. eight lb. car- nades, and is, it is said the fastest sail- er in our navy. Captain Chauncy spoke the frigate Cambrian off the Hook. The British frigate Cambrian, captain Chesford, has again arrived off Sandy Hook from Halifax, and re-commenced examination of inward bound vessels.
BALTIMORE, November 2. Arrived the schooner Mary Ann, Holis, 24 days from St. Domingo. Left there the ship Nymph, Chaplain, of Baltimore. The ship Serpent Hayes of Baltimore, sail- ed some time before for the coast to day. Also schooner Hope, Travers 23 days from St. Bartholemews. Passed a large ship in the Bay bound up. Markets glut- ted.
November 3. Sch. Gipse, Hutchins, 31 days from Grenada. Left no Baltimore vessels, spoke nothing on her passage; experienced vio- lent gales on her passage. Also schooner Hope, Dawson, 17 days from Mantaanzas. Left the brig Lioness, of New York, to sail in ten days. Schooner Mercury, for Charleston next week, and a number of others, names not collected.
October 24, lat. 32, 28, was brought too by a French privateer and compelled us to hoist our flag, although blowing a heavy gale, in doing which we sprung our fore stay, the captain went on board the priva- teer with the papers; whilst there the pri- vateer's men came on board, and began to plunder us of all our spare rigging, blocks, sails, jib boom, men's clothes and a num- ber of other articles, and would have tak- en more, but a schooner heaving in sight forced them to leave us.
October 29, Cape Henry, bearing E. by S. 24 leagues distant, spoke ship Persever- ance, from Baltimore for Leghorn, out 26 days. Also, ship Sally, from Newburyport— C. Wirgman. Also, schooner Three Friends, Adams, from Porto Cavello—cocoa—John Martin. Left no vessels there and spoke nothing. Also, schooner Nymph, Gover, 20 days
from Point Petre (Guad.) Left schooner Baltimore, Penrice, for Baltimore 6 days; brig Alexander, Reynolds, of Philadel- phia, just arrived. Sailed in company with the brig Ann, Wickham, of Baltimore, and for Barbadoes; and brig Amazon, for New York.
The schooner Two Brothers, Watts, from Point Petre for Baltimore, in passing Bassaterre in the night of the 6th of Octo- ber, was fired into by the Fort in conse- quence of her light not being seen from the shore; some of the shots unfortunately hulled her and she sunk in an hour and an half after; nothing was saved, but the lives of the people.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bordeaux, to his friend in Charleston, dated August 28. 1805. "The demand for cotton is still very brisk, and if the price does not exceed 22 or 23 cents, we think it as good an article as you can send; it might perhaps answer at a cent or two more, as we are inclined to think the price will keep up here; it is worth at present from 210 to 215. If you could purchase long staple, well cleaned, for 1s. 6d. we would recommend you to make a trial of some bales. If price is at or under 4 dollars, it might answer. Maho- gany would pay very well if bought from 16 to 18 cents. Beeswax if not mixed with tallow, you might purchase as high as 40 cents. Deer skins if not worm eaten, and they can be had from 20 to 22 cents per lb. and fawns at half price, would an- swer. Hogheads or pipe staves would an- swer as well as anything you can send. If you could get some good salt pork, from 14 to 15 dollars, a few casks would sell well. Do not meddle with tobacco on any account."
The President of the United States has issued his exequatur recognizing George Hammeken, esq. as his Danish Majesty's Consul for the ports of the states of New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Milton has the following remarks upon mispent time:—"Hours have wings, and fly up to the author of time, and carry news of our usage. All our prayers cannot in- treat one of them either to return or slack- en his pace: The mispence of every minute is a new record against us in heaven. Sure if we thought thus we would dismiss them with better report, and not suffer them to go away empty, or laden with dangerous intelligence! How happy is it, that every hour should convey up, not only the mes- sage, but the fruits of good, and stay with the antient of days, to speak for us before his glorious throne!"
If the candid and discerning part of the commu- nity, were not long since convinced, that Mr. Jefferson, did not possess the requisites to form ei- ther a Soldier, Statesman or Negotiator, the  Vindicators of his fame, who have lately appear- ed in the Richmond Enquirer , must have com- pletely removed all doubts on that head. With- out descending to the scrutiny of his private char- acter; it is sufficient to know, and ample proof has been afforded to substantiate the fact, that in all the public scenes, which he has held, whe- ther under the laws of his native, or those of the United States, he has uniformly discovered a spi- rit so extremely weak and dastardly, as to shrink even from the suspicion of danger; and to aban- don the calls of duty, without a struggle, either to fulfil their execution, or preserve his own fame, among the wise, brave and virtuous of his coun- trymen. The Bard of Nature says:—
In the reproach of chance Lies the true proof of men: The sea being smooth How many shallow, babbly boats dare sail Upon her patient breasts, making their way With those of nobler bulk! But let the rougher Boreas once engage The gentle Thetis , and anon behold The strong ribb'd bark thro' liquid mountains cut Bounding between the two moist elements Like Pegasus herse. Where's then the dally boat, Whose weak untimber'd tides but even now Co-nival'd greatness? Either to harbour fled Or made a toast for Neptune .
SOLEMN REFLECTIONS.
"Our Fathers, Where are they?" How many solemn ideas, affectionate and profound, do the silent tombs yield to the mind, which contemplates them with gravity and consults them with seriousness. When we reflect that it is a house prepared for all the living; when we consider that numbers younger than ourselves now moul- der in the dust; that some of our own fam- ilies, our nearest and dearest connections, have made their exit from this vale of tears, & bring to mind the innumerable of earthly enjoyments, that we know not what a day or an hour will bring forth, what awful im- pressions crowd in upon our minds; awe- ful because hostile to our wishes, and cor- rode our guilty consciences; awful be- cause we are unprepared to meet at the tri- bunal of heaven and be weighed at the gates of eternity; awful, because we see our folly and neglecting to improve our privi- leges until the setting sun of life.
"Our Fathers, Where are they?" We have followed them to the grave, we have committed them to the bowels of the earth, they have taken their subterraneous passage to eternity; and the places that once knew them know them no more forever. Where are the living? going down the rap- id tide of time, and according to the inva- riable laws of nature, must soon sleep in dust. Do not these considerations suggest a necessity of preparation? Can any harm accrue from having our lamps trimmed and burning, ready for our departure hence? If not let us establish our principles and conduct by the rules of christianity let the criterion of our actions be in consonance with the oracles of truth, which require us to renounce all unwillingness and cupidity, and to live righteously and soberly, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly in the world.
Let him who vaunteth in his youth, his strength, activity, and prospect of long life, go to the silent tombs and learn that the monster death is ambitious and insa- tiate, and discriminates not between young and old , but selects his victims from every age, from every rank and condition in life.
From the Trenton True American.
COOPERS POINT, 18. Sept. 1805.
Respected Friend, FLAX being the principal article of do- mestic manufacture, (wool excepted) in the mid- dle and northern states, perhaps a hint respecting its preparation may be acceptable.
About 18 years past, I purchased a German servant man, who by his account came from the neighborhood of Russia. I soon after set him and others to spread my flax, the lot not containing the whole, he requested me to let him rot the re- mainder his own way, which he said was to half rot it in the water and then on the ground, which he did, and the flax so rotted, proved the best, softest and whitest, I had ever seen, and the me- thod pleased my wife and spinners so well, I have practised it ever since, with some alterations as to time.
The process we find to answer best, is, after the seed is beaten off, bind it about the size of common Rye sheaves, and about the last of Sep- tember, or first of October, immerse it in water, stagnated is preferable to running, it should not be more than two feet deep from the surface, and the flax kept entirely under the water about two weeks, but the time should be regulated by the weather, as to heat or cold, we then take it out and spread it thin and even, and turn it as often as occasion may require, after being spread every rain, fog, dew, or frost, assist in separating the herb, whitening and softening the flax, and ex- tracting the gum, which is the only cause of flax
being coarse and harsh, and it is an established fact with those that have tried, that either thread or cloth made from flax prepared in the above manner, is softer, and will wash in one third of the time that is requisite, for that from flax rotted in the common manner.
I believe the principal reason, that water rot- ting flax, is so little practiced in North America, is that those who have tried it, find the flax hard and brittle, the cause of which, (I imagine) is putting it in water, in hot weather, when two or three days will rot it sufficient for getting out will not extract the gum.
A person of my acquaintance from Hibernia, (who is well acquainted with the process of flax preparation), informs me, that it has been the common practice in Ireland, about 20 or 30 years ago, to let flax remain in the water until sufficiently rotted, but the people in general, finding it did not answer their sanguine expecta- tion, have since adopted the above method with success.
Linen made of flax prepared as above directed, with one boil, will be about the colour of Russia sheeting, which induces me to believe that all the hemp and flax in Russia, is rotted in the same way. And as I am greatly desirous for the im- provement of the manufacture of our country, with my fellow citizens to make a trial, which may be easily done by trying a small part.
If you think the foregoing worth a place in your paper, it will be well to publish it soon, as the season proper for the operation is near at hand.
I remain, your friend,  JOSEPH COOPER. James J. Wilson, Esq.

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