Printing in all its variety executed at this office.

Mr Thompson.
IT has been a good while since I sent you my last letter, but one thing or another has some how stopped me till now. — I was going on then to tell you, how wrong it was for Mr. Jefferson and his friends, to find so much fault with old Adams for doing things as he did, and when they have turned him out for it, and got in office themselves, to do the very same things they before complained of. They used to say a great deal about Mr. Adams' putting nobody in office, but those who were on his side. This they said was very bad conduct, and that it obliged a man to give up his own sentiments in order to get an office. That there were good and bad men on both sides, and that the President in appointing a man to any place, ought not to enquire any thing about which side he was on in politics. They said if Mr. Jefferson was elected he would not mind who voted for or who voted against him, but would appoint honest men, on both sides, — in that case all our wrangling and squabbling one with a nother, would be done away, and we should all live like friends and brothers. To be sure I thought I should like mightily to see such times, and expected Mr. Jefferson would one way or other bring it about. But I find that Mr. Jefferson and his friends only made these fine promises to turn others out of office, and get themselves in. While things continued as they used to be, there was no likelihood that Adams would turn men out of office for nothing: and therefore there was not much chance for those who were out of office to get in, unless they could manage to make somebody else President. And therefore, it seems, they made all this rout and uproar against Adams and promised they would do this and that and other for the good of the people, if they were only trusted for a while. But now it is plain enough they only wanted to get Mr. Jefferson elected that he might, turn out the men who were in office, and so make room for these pretended friends of the people. Yes Mr. Printer, that is the chief thing they wanted, and they were mad with Mr. Adams because he did not put them into office. For so far was Mr. Jefferson from doing what his friends promised, that instead of putting any one in office who voted against him, he turned almost all of them out, for no other reason whatever, provided the office was worth holding. Now Mr. Printer, as I told you before I like to see men do as they promise. And what did Mr. Jefferson's friends find so much fault with Adams for, if they meant to do the same when they got in office themselves? If they thought it right, what did they complain of Adams for? and if they thought it wrong in him, why do they do the same now they have got the power? At any rate as they promised not to do so, I say again, they ought to do as they promised. But Mr. Printer, I believe they never were sincere in their promises, and only told the people so in order to get themselves elected. For Mr. Jefferson has not only done the same that he blamed Adams for doing, but has gone further, & as I was just saying, turned men out of office for not being on his side, and voting for him to be president. This I think is a great deal worse. Because it seems like, paying a man to vote for him and punishing him very cruelly if he voted against him. For many of the officers had given up their employments, in order to mind their offices, and when they were suddenly turned out, they and their family were near starving in some cases. And if a president is allowed to do all this he might get a great many men to vote for him, who would not otherwise do it. For if they found he stood a chance of being elected President, those in office, would be afraid to vote against him, least he should turn them out for it, and so a man would be made afraid to speak his own honest opinion. And to a great many who were out of office, and wanted to get in, he might promise offices if he was elected, & so hire men as it were, to vote for him. But if nobody was to be turned out of office for voting his own opinion, then as the offices are all full the man who wanted to be president could not buy votes, by promising offices. Because there would be very few offices vacant, and at his disposal. And Mr. Adams, did not turn men out of office merely because they differed in opinion with him.
'Tis true I believe, he turned one Tench Coxe out of office, and Mr. Jefferson
has put him in again, not much indeed to his credit. For I always understood that Tench Coxe, misbehaved very much in his office, and that was the reason he was turned out, and not because he was against Mr. Adams. Besides Tench Coxe was a great Tory and that was another thing that the Democrats complained of, they always said that a Tory ought never to have any place under the government. — But Mr. Jefferson has put as many or more Tories in office already than Adams ever did, and has even made one Stevens a judge in South Carolina, who ran away from the American army and joined the English. So that they seem to be doing every thing that they blamed in others, and worse too — and seem to mind their promises no more than if they had never made them.
CONRAD. Catoctin Mountain, August 21st, 1802.
NEW-YORK, August 30. By the Paisy, Johnson, at Quarantine. Left Cape Francois the 10th August, in company with the brig Loyely Lucy, bound to Philadelphia, and a French ship bound to New-York; parted with both off the Caicos. Several sail of French men of war had arrived with troops and more expected every day: provisions of all kinds very low. Flour from 5 to 7 dollars, and more arriving daily. A duty of 25 per cent. laid on coffee for American vessels, and not allowed to take bills on America. Several vessels were stopt on that account.
August 20th, spoke a Spanish brig from Savannah, 12 days out, bound to Cape Francois, lat. 32, 8 and long. 74, 30, W. 223, lat. 34, 36, and long. 74, 40, spoke the brig Franklin, 12 days from Barbadoes, bound to Alexandria. Same day, spoke the schr. Favorite, captain Lord, 10 days from Turks Island, bound to New-London, who informed me that there were 22 sail of American vessels cast away on Turks Island and the Caicos.
The ship Catherine, and the Mercury, were both lying with their cargoes on board as government would not receive it on account of so much flour arriving from France. The brig Lydia captain Capman, had arrived in 26 days from this port.
The ship Shepherdess was to sail in 3 days, and the ship Reserve in 14 days, both for New-York. The Schooner Generous Friend, captain Chapman, from this port, bound to Antigua, fell to leeward and put into the Cape, but could not sell, and proceeded to Jamaica.
August 31. It is not a little curious, that in the official paper of the French, M. Otto is announced, not as a minister plenipotentiary to the United States, but as a minister to the President of the United States. This alteration in the diplomatic style of the French, may be considered as a prelude to the nomination of foreign ministers to the First Consul instead of the French Republic.
Entered, ship Andromache, —, Greenock; brig Dove, Goodrich, Kingston; schr. Lash, Crook, St. Johns; Commerce, Wright, do.
Cleared, ships Iris, Keaquick, Cowes and a market; Minerva, Williams, Cape Francois; brig Ceres, Aborn, Cadiz.
Arrived since our last, Big Dove, Goodrich, from Kingston, Jam. August 19, spoke brig Warren, Eddy, of Warren, R. I. from C. Francois to Beaufort. Left there, brig Hiram, for Charleston, to sail next day; British schr. Sarah, to sail in 10 days for New-York.
It is a melancholy truth, that the most flattering prospects (a few weeks since) of one of the greatest Wheat Harvests this state and Vermont were ever blessed with, is, in a moment blasted. In the northern and western counties of this state, the failure has been very general; along the margin of rivers and low lands in many places, there is a total failure; large straw and no wheat.
In the uplands, in some places, it is estimated that seven tenths of the crops will fail, and from all the information we can gather, we fear the average loss in this neighborhood will be at least one third of the whole crop.
It is a truly heavy blow upon our farmers, and the community at large, especially as from all accounts the demand will be very great in all parts of Europe. It will be of great importance if gentlemen of leisure and observation, in the different counties, would endeavor to collect
and communicate the most accurate information of the extent of the failure of the crop. Albany Cent.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.
Capt. Blanchard, arrived at Portland from Cape Francois, informs, that intelligence was received at that place from Port au Paix, that on the 27th July the blacks had risen on the white inhabitants of the latter place and killed 200 of them. No troops had arrived there.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nassau, (N. P.) to his correspondent in New-York, dated August 10, 1802.
"A petition has been handed about, by several respectable characters, for the purpose of procuring signatures to allow the importation of the usual American commodities — The Governor's Proclamation having expired on the 1st inst. The chief motive was from a well-founded idea that the trade in English bottoms would be monopolized by a few rich individuals here, who would keep up a high price for every article. The Governor, I understand, had paid no attention to the petition when presented.
"This place, at present, is entirely glutted with every article of consumption."
We have more money than we want, say the Democrats, therefore repeal the tax on home made spirits, loaf sugar, wine licenses, and coaches. But, says Mr. Gallatin, we have not money enough. We must sell bank shares. Pray, is there any authority from Congress to sell them? To sell and to borrow is a hidden way to get money. To tax is an open way. — What do we make of this? The taxes were abolished to get popularity; but to get the money these very taxes would produce, as much property must be sold, and as much of the Dutch debt borrowed over again, as would equal three years receipts of those internal taxes. Is not this a trick upon the nation? Is it not a deception, thus to pretend to save our money, and to save it by selling our best property. The fable of the goose that laid the golden egg is in point. She was killed for one more egg. These facts deserve the close attention of the next Congress. The enquiry will concern the faithfulness of those who are now the public stewards. Have they sold and sacrificed our best and most productive stock merely to put off the evil day of calling for new taxes; and have they supposed that this task will fall of course on the successors of Mr. Jefferson. Palladium.
INLAND NAVIGATION.
It has been the wisdom and policy of the most enlightened nations, to improve by art, the advantages which nature has bestowed; and among the many important objects that have claimed their attention, and called forth their energies, is that of Inland Water Communication. In a country like the United States, abounding with large reservoirs of water, and intersected with copious rivers and streams an ample field presents itself for the display of such improvements. It has been contemplated to form a Canal from Connecticut river to this place; should it ever be carried into effect, Boston, by commanding the produce of an extensive back country, which now passes through other channels, would obtain a pre-eminent rank in the scale of commerce, opulence and wealth. The States of New-York and Pennsylvania, from the competition there is between them, are duly sensible of the advantages resulting from such improvements. New-York is improving the waters of the Mohawk river by Locks, &c. and extending their water carriage through the different lakes in the Genessee country, and into some parts of Lower and Upper Canada. The success which has already attended their efforts, is best demonstrated by the increase of the toll at the several locks which has been nearly fourfold within a few years. Pennsylvania has turned her attention to the Susquehanna and Delaware, the head waters of which extend to the western parts of the State of New-York, on which they have and are expending large sums, to render these waters navigable. — Virginia and South Carolina are also opening an Inland Water Communication. — The many resources of wealth with which the commonwealth is favored, may perhaps be assigned as a reason why the legislature have not turned their attention to
improvements of this nature; — but it is, to be hoped, that no causes will operate in future to promote and to effect an object, which would furnish such an annual harvest of treasure. Let men of influence, then cheerfully volunteer in this business, in devising the most eligible plans, and let the public offices in State Street, be the head quarters of that public spirit, which has so long distinguished the inhabitants of this metropolis. Let the man of wealth who has amassed his fortune by speculation, extend his views beyond the narrow limits of his own existence, and consider himself as born to promote the happiness and welfare of his country, and generously promote an undertaking which when sufficiently encouraged cannot fail of success. (Bost. pap.)
CALLENDER'S CASE CANDIDLY CONSIDERED.
The nature and importance of the facts lately given to the world by this person, have raised him to a sufficient degree of consideration to attract some share of public attention. We shall not conceal it that it is with regret we have seen and continue to see him made the object of personal attack, in several respectable federal papers. This is a sort of conduct of which we can neither comprehend the policy nor the justice. I mean not to volunteer as the indiscriminate apologist of Mr. Callender, but a sense of justice compels me to allow him his fair and equitable rights: Let us render to Callender the justice due to Callender, and to Jefferson the justice due to Jefferson.
We find it for instance inserted in the Federal prints that —
"It is now, beyond all contradiction, reduced to a certainty, that the celebrated letters bearing the signature of Mr. Jefferson, which while Mr. J. was secretary of state were addressed to Mr. Hammond, at that time British Minister in this country, and which have for many years been adduced by his friends as undeniable proofs of his erudition as a scholar and his researches as a statesman, were actually, the productions of Mr. Lewis, who was at that time as at present, a lawyer of distinguished eminence in the city of Philadelphia — All that Mr. Jefferson did, was to add his signature."
A sense of justice to Mr. Jefferson induces us to declare that this assertion, doubly fortified as it is by pleonisms is utterly untrue. Mr. Lewis did not write those letters, nor did he correct them. — If it is recollected, that at the time they were written the ministry consisted of Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Randolph, it will hardly be supposed that it was thought necessary to apply to Mr. Lewis, or any other gentleman, to write official papers. 'Tis true, these letters are not supposed to belong exclusively to Mr. Jefferson. Still it is unjust to say he only subscribed his name to them; certainly a considerable share of their merit is his own, the original draught doubtless was his; but if those letters are compared with the best specimens from Mr. Jefferson's pen, any judge of composition will readily discover internal evidence, that that gentleman could not have been the author of them in the finished state in which they appeared. But to return to Callender — Why is it necessary, or just, or discreet, that the federal prints should continue to say that Callender is the greatest of liars and the basest of men, and not to be countenanced or forgiven? Because he has written the grossest libels on our government, and on its best supporters. Of all this no one is more aware than the writer of this, and he has spared no labor to expose the nature and tendency of those libels to the world: Still I am not satisfied that it is just to lay all the sins at Callenders door? but supposing him for a moment to have been ever so criminal when he wrote those calumnies, that it was done, if you please, of his sheer malice prepense, is that a reason why the repentant sinner should not be permitted to turn and live? Is it a reason that no contrition should be accepted? that he should be forever pursued with unrelenting severity, and that his former deviation from rectitude should be followed with unceasing reproach? Such treatment is enough to discourage the best resolutions, to appal the firmest nerves, and exclude repentance forever from the pale of virtue. And let me ask, what would be the fate of the best of us all, were strict justice meted out to us hereafter with the same even-handed exactness?

Let the pious christian lay his hand on his heart and answer the question.
We shall now however take the liberty to present to the impartial, candid reader, Callender's conduct in a different point of view. Let us take up Callender at his arrival in this country; (the exact period is not known nor is it very material) we find him a stranger in the land, without relations, without friends and without acquaintance. "The unwary foreigner readily embraces the cause of that party which appears to show most address, and most zeal in defending the rights of the people among whom he has chosen his future residence." "The licentious, the needy and the ambitious are in general the apparent patriots of every country," and those who take care to be the first to introduce themselves "to the acquaintance of the unknown stranger. With these men, who daily promise relief and improvements to the people, he contracts an acquaintance, partakes in their career of popular applause and gradually imbibes tenets that under other circumstances he would have shunned with contempt." Such is the language in which one of these deluded foreigners attempts to apologize for the errors into which he had been seduced on his landing in this country; and we are persuaded that the tale is strictly founded in truth. Such was the beginning of Callender's career in American politics.
He soon found himself caressed, flattered and courted by such men as Jefferson, Madison, Mason, Munro, Giles, &c. These propofed him with all the prejudices against one party and all the predictions for the other, which the boldest misrepresentations could accomplish.
Without any violent stretch of imagination let us suppose one of these patriots, no matter which, to have taken Mr. Callender aside, and having locked the door and secured the aperture of the key-hole, to have addressed him thus. "My good friend, we have understood that you hold a strong pen and it is important it should take, at first, a right direction. Believing you to be actuated by none but praiseworthy motives, and that you would not prostitute your strong pen in a bad cause, I have sought this interview to inform you of the real state of things in America.
After being made acquainted with facts, you will be able to decide yourself, for, far be it from me to attempt to fetter or bias your judgment. Rest assured Sir, that an anglo-monarchico-aristocratical party has arisen in this country, whose avowed object is, traitorously to rob us of our republicanism and impose on us the odious substance of the British Government, as they have already but too well succeeded in forcing upon us the form; impudently called the federal constitution.
As engaged in this detestable treason, you may reckon, first the Executive , President WASHINGTON, whose 'extravagant popularity is a ridicule upon the discernment of America.' 2d, All the officers of government with Mr. Hamilton at their head , a man more than all others to be dreaded as our inflexible and powerful enemy. I beg your pardon, fir; you are agitated to find me name these as apostates, persons of whose virtue and patriotism you have heard so much in Europe; pray be seated while I proceed; yes, fir, these very men, who, it must be allowed, (for it cannot at this late hour, be very well contradicted) were Solomons in council or Samsons in combat; have had their hair cut off by the whore —ENGLAND: In short, Sir, they have been bribed by the gold of Pitt. But, Sir, I beg your pardon I see you are confused; I have given you a fever by the abrupt mention of their names; I do assure you it was an inadvertence. Pray, Sir, be calm; you shall hear more—3d, All who are seeking office, and you may see swarms of them at Washington's levee every day in the week; then come all timid men, who prefer the calm of despotism, under the tyranny of George Washington, to the tempestuous sea of liberty, on which France is now so gloriously agitated ; 4th The British merchants and Americans who trade in British capitals ; in short, you may say, all merchants of wealth and distinction whatever; lastly, the speculators, persons interested in the bank and public funds ,—in other words, every federalist of any eminence in Congress. These are the people who would wrest from us that Liberty which we have obtained by so much labor and peril; but we shall preserve it yet. They are daring, nerveless, we have no cause for discouragement, numerous as the traitors are, we can sit against them;
ist, the principal body of our citizens, 2d. all our proprietors of lands, including all the Virginia planters, and almost all the southern planters, without exception—all these citizens remain faithful to republican principles. Our mass of citizens and riches is so powerful, that we have nothing to fear from any attempt against us by force, notwithstanding Washington and Hamilton have long had their eye upon a standing army. —Yes, my friend, (rising abruptly and taking Mr. Callender's hand) we shall break the despicable Lilliputian ties by which they have bound us in the fast slumbers which succeeded our labors, or to speak without metaphor, we shall easily find means to overthrow this hateful, oppressive, and monarchal Constitution, which they have crammed down our gullets, and we shall arrest the progress of that system of ingratitude and injustice towards France, from whom they would alienate us, to bring us under British influence. —Believe me, Sir, when I aver to you, that, this Washington, this Adams, Hamilton, Jay, and others of the same stamp, who now figure away in public life, have, since the revolution become such apostates from all that is good and truly republican, to turn their backs with ingratitude upon our deliverer, France, and even to attempt to bring us into the same disgraceful servitude to Great Britain as that from which we have lately extricated ourselves at the expence of so much blood and treasure." We may here suppose the first conference to end, with an assurance on the part of Mr. Jefferson of his high esteem and affectionate attachment. Now perhaps there are some persons disposed to treat this as a mere idle scene; a web woven entirely in fancy's loom, and of a texture so slight as not to bear the least examination—but what will they say when I tell them it is indebted to imagination for nothing but its lighter and more unimportant circumstances. If they will turn to Mr. Jefferson's own confidential letter to his friend and correspondent, they will find him actually employing the identical language here put into his mouth, to provide against all possibility of misrepresentation. Mr. Jefferson's words are printed in italics, and it is believed that in the phrase no deviation from his meaning has obtained.
We shall not pretend to trace Mr. Callender from his first appearance in the Aurora, for which Mr. Jefferson advanced sixteen dollars, up to the time of his writing the "Prospect before us," but as to that work there can be no doubt from what he has said, that the principal facts in it were furnished by Mr. Giles, Mr. Madison, Mr. Mason, Mr. Munro, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Jefferson, and some other Virginian antifederalists of the same eminent rank in society. Let me then ask if the encouragement, personal assistance, patronage, reward, carelessness of such men are not sufficient to flatter, dazzle, mislead & impose upon almost any one unaccustomed to such notice from those moving in a sphere of life so far above him. And let me tell the New-England reader, that in respect to ranks in society, the republicans of Virginia differ materially from the aristocrats of Connecticut; though in the latter we see a practical equality, yet I can assure him that in the former there obtain the same lordly and purse-proud distinctions as in any monarchy in Europe; so that when this is taken into the account what chance did poor Callender stand to save his integrity, if he had had ever so much? And that he was not destitute of this when he went to Virginia, or at least when he opened his career with Mr. Jefferson, I shall now prove by the oath of a reputable man, who swears he knew him personally at that time—but let his oath speak for itself.
"On the 4th of June, 1798, Mr. Thomas Leiper, of this city,* upon solemn oath, declared, that 'he had been acquainted with James Thompson Callender for the space of four years, then last past, and upwards, during all which time the said James Thompson Callender had, to the deponent's knowledge, behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same.'
To be sure, shortly after this he removed to Virginia, and became an inmate with General Stevens Thompson Mason, and here his acquaintance with Mr. Jefferson, Madison, and other patriots, ripened into intimacy and produced the "Prospect." *Can it be any longer won-
* Philadelphia.
dered at, if his principles received a temporary debasement? Are we not told from sacred authority, that evil communications corrupt good morals ? But why is it, that when he hath seen the error of his conduct; when he shews a disposition to abhor that which is evil, and cleave to that which is good , why is it that instead of being permitted and encouraged to do so, he should be rebuffed and reproached by almost every editor in the U. States? I hope, I trust, we shall see no more of this; at least, till Callender has had a fair opportunity to evince his sincerity.
"Who by repentance is not satisfied Is not of heaven; nor earth; By penitence the Eternal's wrath appeas'd" (N. 2. Ev. Post.)"
The President mentions the infidel Tom Paine's "useful" labors. Now what are they? Pulling down government—attempting to pull down religion—and writing libels against Washington.—These useful labors the president expresses his hope that Paine will continue. He wishes to have Paine here to pursue this laudable business, and offers him a public ship to bring him over. Now, if there is one fair minded Democrat in the State to him I appeal, and ask, Whether any jacobin newspaper can complain, with face of reason, of the abuse of Mr. Jefferson? Is not his own conduct the worst imputation that can be thrown upon him? Is not the simple truth the most biting of all satire, the most blackening to his fame of all libels? Is he not the aggressor? He wrote to Mazzi, slandering not only Washington and Adams, and the body of our merchants, clergy and northern farmers, but the Constitution itself as a monarchico-aristocratico patch-work, made up of the foul rags of the British Constitution and an imitation of it. Next we find him giving money to Callender who composed the most infamous libels. In his New-Haven letter he vents the most unfounded bitter calumnies himself and now he calls on Tom Paine to come over and assist in these "useful" labors. After all this, can he or his friends complain of calumny. It is a game, as the Chronicle says, very knowingly, of corruption, that he is surprized, or affects to be surprized, that two can play at. Who began first is scarcely a question. But truth is no libel, and worse than the truth who would wish to speak of him. But reader, Democrat or Federalist, if you are honest and have common understanding, reflect, what sort of a President have we got? Let us "correct this procedure." Amen, say the white people.

A PROPOSAL BY SAMUEL BISHOP, For publishing by Subscription, LETTERS ON THE Elementary Principles OF EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton, Author of the "Elements of Modern Philosophy," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have, within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, is pre-eminently useful. Led by her full jet into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied these subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectation. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which those inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated.
[An Extract from the above Work.]
"From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the subjection of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race."
The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type.
II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
*** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay.
Subscriptions received by the Publisher.

The Commissioners having obtained the necessary number of shares, avail themselves of the earliest opportunity of calling together the subscribers, in conformity to the law; they recommend a personal attendance if practicable, as it may be necessary to pass some bye laws and regulations for conducting the Company's affairs; where that is too inconvenient, it will be proper to appoint a proxy in writing attested by one witness at least.

The Executors of the late Gen. Geo. Washington, offer for sale, the following TRACTS OF LAND, viz.
A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 300 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Washington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburg and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac.
One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Ashby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Paster of Paris, well watered by several never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives.
One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equally favorable to Paster of Paris.
A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One also, Head of Evans's Mill, containing 453 acres, and one on Wormley's line, containing 183 acres. These several tracts are in Jefferson (late Berkeley county)—the soil very similar in quality, and particularly adapted to the culture of Tobacco, Hemp, Wheat and Indian Corn, situated twelve miles from Harper's Ferry.
One tract containing 571 acres in Frederick county, this land is in the vicinity of the last mentioned tracts and equally valuable.
One tract in Hampshire county containing 240 acres—this tract, tho' small is extremely valuable. It lies on Potomac river, about 12 miles above the town of Bath (or Warm Springs) and is in the shape of a horse-shoe, the river running almost round it; two hundred acres of it are rich low grounds, with a great abundance of the largest Walnut and other trees, which with the produce of the soil, might (by means of the improved navigation of the Potomac) be brought to a shipping port with more ease and at a smaller expense, than that which is transported on only 30 miles by land.
One third part of 1119 acres in Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and on Nansemond river—this land is considered extremely valuable by those who are acquainted with it.
One tract in Charles county, Maryland, containing 600 acres—it is very level and lies near the river Potomac.
One tract in Montgomery county, Maryland, containing 519 acres—This land lies about 30 miles above the City of Washington, not far from Kettocotán and is good farming land.
One tract in Pennsylvania, containing 234 acres—This land affords an exceeding good stand on Braddock's road from Fort Cumberland to Pittsburg, and a large quantity of natural meadow fit for the scythe. It is distinguished by the appellation of the Great Meadows, where the first action with the French, in the year 1754, was fought.
One other tract on the Mohawk river, State of New-York, containing 1000 acres.
In North West Territory.
Three tracts lying on Little Miami, containing 3051 acres.
In Kentucky. On Rough Creek, one tract containing 3000 acres; ditto adjoining 2000 acres. Indisputable titles can be given for the above lands. Lots in the City of Washington.
Two improved lots near the Capitol, square 634. The improvements are, on each an elegant three story brick house.
Four other unimproved lots on the Eastern Branch, No. 5, 12, 13 and 14, in square 667. These lots are advantageously situated on the water.
ALEXANDRIA.
A few valuable lots in Alexandria, corner of Pitt and Prince-streets, three or four of which are let on ground rent at 3 dollars per foot.
WINCHESTER.
One lot in Town of half an acre, adjoining Doctor Makay's, enclosed with a good post and rail fence, and another in the commons of about six acres.
Bath, or Warm Springs.
Two well situated lots, on one of them is a small building large enough to accommodate one family.
The terms of sale will be made known by application to either of the subscribers.

Also, a FORGE, 50 by 60 feet, covered with tin, and a Coal and Iron House, situated on the Canal made by the Potomac Company, and the right of cutting the wood for 900 years on a large parcel of land adjoining—much of this wood is convenient to the river, and may be readily transported to George Town, the Federal City, or this place. The other half may be purchased.
Three Eighths of about eleven hundred acres of LAND, in Berkley county, adjoining the roads of the United States, at Keep Frye's Furnace and Harper's Ferry—more than half of it is in wood, and the remainder good farming land. The other five-eighths may also be purchased.
An undivided moiety of 36 acres of LAND in the Common of Alexandria And adjoining the town, chiefly under fence of cedar posts and enfeint rails.
A large and handsome Brick DWELLING HOUSE, 50 by 40 feet, with a brick Stable, Smoke House, and Well of excellent water—the Garden and Yard paled in—The House is not quite finished. It will be sold either in its present state, or finished as may suit the purchaser.

Valuable Property for Sale,
At the little Falls of Potomack, About three miles from George Town and the City of Washington, and ten from Alexandria.
172 acres of Land, upon which are a dwelling house and sundry other improvements, several stone quarries and fish ponds, and two vacant mill seats.

The purchaser of the above property, will have an assignment of a lease for the other undivided third part, of which there will be 6 years to come from the first day of September next.
The stone on the above lands is equal in goodness to any, and superior to most foundation stone on the river—wheels of any burthen that can go to George Town, can go up to the mill and stone quarries.
Any person or persons, who may incline to purchase, will of course view the premises, therefore it is not thought necessary to be more particular.
For terms apply to Gen. Uriah Forrest at George Town, or to
