The late unfortunate and to the government disgraceful circumstance, which took place off the bar, on the fourth instant, is a theme which it is not grateful to dwell on; it gives rise to many unpleasant ideas, many hateful forebodings of what may be the situation of this country, if the present administration persists in their economical plan of having NO NAVY, or least such a one as is unequal to the purpose of protection to our trade abroad, and of deterring freebooters from insulting and robbing our citizens almost in our very ports. It is a very unpleasing subject, and a painful one as well as a pleasing subject, more especially if we presume to hope that any of our observations may serve the cause we have embarked in, the cause of truth and of good government.
From the sample we have recently had of French spoliation, there is no reason to expect that any thing short of absolute coercion will oblige such marauders to relinquish so safe, and so profitable a business. With respect to the commander of the Two Friends, it is in vain for them to say that his papers were irregular. Is it to be supposed that that gentleman in whom the vigilance, expertness, and knowledge of the complete seaman, is added much useful experience in business; can it be presumed we say, that he should have incomplete papers? Even supposing for an instant, that he were capable of a dereliction of his duty to others (a thing we are by no means disposed to think possible) he could not be supposed to be wanting in what was necessary to the protection of his own property; his ship and a considerable part of the cargo. The idea therefore is absurd; and even if a consular certificate had been wanting, the treaty between the United States and France declares and allows, that free ships make free goods. It is hence clear that the privateersman was determined at all events, to take the vessel in defiance of that provision, and in defiance of all law or justice.
It is a position which will hold good against all the assertions of all the democrats in the union, that a country with an immense mercantile navy, trading to almost every part of the known world, never can protect the property of her citizens, assert the honor of her flag, or her own dignity, without having at the same time a respectable naval force; more particularly when foreign nations are at war. In proof of this position, we adduce the situation of this country at this time. She has a widely extended commerce; but we assert that it is not protected as it ought to be; it cannot be protected without a larger navy. If indeed the world were to remain always at peace, that trade might continue to extend without interruption, in proportion to the increase of population and of wealth. But as those halcyon days are not yet arrived when "war shall cease, and be no more heard of" it becomes the people of an independent country, as this is, to have some check on the ambition, the cupidity of nations, or the avaricious villany of armed individuals.
It is thought by some people that an immediate rise in the premium of insurance will take place.
The annual trade of the United States to and from Great Britain, which is almost exclusively carried on in American bottoms, may at the present day be safely calculated at twenty eight millions of dollars.
The value of the shipping employed in that trade may be called two millions more; and supposing that the owners insure their vessels out and home; it would form an item of four millions; making a total of thirty two millions of dollars, nearly the whole of which is insured, or intended to be insured, at the different insurance offices in London, Liverpool, &c. But we are aware that some owners are their own underwriters, also that insurance is sometimes saved by ships arriving before the letters ordering insurance get to hand. Allowing therefore for those deductions, four millions, and call the amount twenty-eight millions, of American property annually insured in England.
For several years past the premium on American goods and shipping has fluctuated from two to two and an half per cent. according to the order in which the ship stood at Lloyd's, the season of the year, the experience of the master, &c.
Calculating the premium then at two and one fourth per cent. on the average on an average, twenty eight millions of dollars
* This principal was recognized in our former treaty with France. The writer is not positive but believes, that the last one confirms it.
it will be found to be 630,000 dollars: But if the mercantile interests of America are to be injured and trampled on with impunity, if the flag of the United States is to be degraded, if, in short, our vessels and property are to be taken within sight of our harbors, and (what is much to be feared) if no active measures are taken by administration to obtain satisfaction and reimbursement for injuries sustained, and to be sustained, or for defence against such unjustifiable attacks, such daring robbery, then we may reasonably apprehend that the price of insurance will be enhanced. Indeed it will not be surprising, if, in the course of a short time, it were to rise to 8 or 10 per cent. We are sensible that in place of desisting from their nefarious and abominable depredations, these pirates, like all who embark in villainous schemes, will take courage from the tameness with which injuries are borne, and will become more rapacious in proportion to the patience of the injured party.
If insurance then rises to 8 per cent. a very moderate calculation, considering all things, it would make a difference to the people of the United States of at least 1,600,000 dollars annually, and we believe that we shall be supported by men of mercantile knowledge and experience when we say, that it would go chiefly from the pockets of the merchants.
If the evil consequences we have mentioned, should unfortunately result, we think we can prove without fear of refutation, that this country would lose, in one year, in the article of insurance alone, paid to British subjects, a sufficient sum to build, equip, and man, ten stout frigates, which would be quite sufficient to protect our long line of coast. It will be considered that this is only in one particular branch of commerce; that branch is not much more than one third of the whole trade of the Union; and if depredations on cargoes to or from Great-Britain, are submitted to without effort on our part to prevent or repel them, those depredations will certainly be extended to other parts of our commerce: Insurance will rise also on those, and the merchant, in place of being rewarded for his enterprize, his exertions, and his risk of capital, will often find himself poorer, mortified, and disappointed!
We might here dilate on this unpleasant subject, and proceed to show the consequences of a nerveless system, upon the revenues of the country. But in doing this, we should exceed the proper limits of a newspaper essay. We will therefore content ourselves with observing, that if the receipt of imposts decrease, money must, and will be raised by other ways and means. Perhaps the administration, amongst other measures, may even revert to lay an excise upon whiskey, or a tax upon vehicles of luxury—articles that every wise man must acknowledge the most improper for the purposes of taxation!
Most fervently do we pray that we may be mistaken in our apprehensions of the increase of this piratical conduct: but we confess that we do not think the mildness and forbearance of some of our great men, at all in favor of its speedy termination.
A SWEAT—FOR A SWEAT.
Original—A physician had a skeleton so fixed that on entering the room a spring was touched when, in an instant it grasped the person entering. An Irishman (a stranger) called on the doctor for some medical aid, and was shown into the room where the skeleton was; it seized him in a moment—Oh, Jasus! up with his fist to defend himself; but, to his great astonishment, he flew from the house like lightning. A few days after meeting the doctor, (who might be called a walking skeleton,) coming out of his house—"Ah, my honey—are you there! I don't know you, with your clothes on? he feizes the doctor by the shirt, and bestowing a few hearty whacks; take that for the sweat you gave me to other day."
On the late Dr. Johnson's return from a town in Scotland, a lady at whose house he called had got ready, what is in England, a hotch potch, for dinner. After the doctor had tasted it, he took an opportunity of asking him if it was good? "Very good for hogs!" answered the doctor. "Then pray," replied the lady, "let me help you to a little more!"
FREIGHT—wanted,

SATURDAY, JUNE 22.
IMPORTANT!
By the brig Lucy, Captain Anderson, arrived at the Lazaretto, in 23 days from Port France, Martinique, the following important intelligence is received: [Poulton's A. D. A.]
Captain Anderson informs that on the 28th May, off the Saintes, he was boarded from the British frigate Spy, the look-out ship (as he was informed) of Lord Nelson's fleet, from the Mediterranean, in search of the French and Spanish fleets from Cadiz—that the left the British fleet 20 days previous, in lat. 30, long. 22, bound to the West-Indies. On Captain Anderson's informing that he had left the combined squadrons at Port Royal, Martinique, the Spy made sail to windward, to meet Lord Nelson's fleet.
Lord Nelson's force is not mentioned; when in the Mediterranean his fleet consisted of twelve sail of the line; and it may have been reinforced.
In a junction with Admiral Cochrane, their combined force would exceed that of the French and Spanish fleets. The most interesting accounts may be hourly expected from the West-Indies.
A letter from St. Croix, dated May 25, received at Philadelphia, says:
"Lord Nelson was seen yesterday from shore with 14 sail of the line, in pursuit of the French fleet."
After receiving the above extract, we took some pains to ascertain how far it was entitled to credit. We have seen the owner and mate of the brig Sarah Ann, now at quarantine, from St. Croix, which place she left on the 27th of May. The owner informs, that he received a letter from St. Croix, dated the 27th ult. mentioning that Lord Nelson was in the West-Indies with 15 sail of the line. The mate of the brig says, that just before he sailed, three ships of war passed close by the west end of St. Croix, and several others were seen at the same time in the offing, all steering to the westward.
The probability is, however, that the above is not Lord Nelson's, but the French Toulon fleet, bound to Jamaica; as we have accounts from Martinique, that the embargo at that place was raised on the 27th of May, after the sailing of the fleet.
Extract of a letter from Havana, to a merchant in Philadelphia, dated May 30.
"The sacrifices that have been made here by the Americans is astonishing; scarcely a single cargo has lost less than 25 per cent, and almost all of them 33 1/3 and 50."
"A certain cargo of dry goods that left New-York some time before me, 'tis whispered will lose something less than 50 per cent. The merchants and every body else have been completely gulled by the government with respect to duties; ever since the opening of the port they have promised to reduce them to 15 per cent. and yesterday it was decreed that the duties should continue as formerly, viz. 32 and half per cent. on every thing imported; but they say that some few articles considered of the first necessity will be valued 5 per cent less than formerly; but no one can enumerate one of these articles; and it is the general opinion that it is nothing more than a trick. It would be an act of charity to give publicity to these facts, which may be implicitly relied on; for some of our young American merchants settled here, still continue to solicit consignments from America, every one of which must be absolutely ruinous."
The British governor of Surinam, has issued his proclamation, permitting the importation for four months from the 29th of April, of the following articles in neutral bottoms, viz. tobacco, pitch, tar, turpentine, staves, heading, boards, timber, shingles, and lumber of any sort, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and live stock of any sort, bread, biscuit, flour, pease, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and grain of any sort. And allowing the exportation of rum and molasses, the full amount of their cargoes; subject to a duty of four per cent. upon imports and exports.
The governor of Barbadoes has, by proclamation of April 2, confirmed the permission granted in his proclamation of October 23d, to import all the articles therein enumerated (horses excepted) into that island in neutral vessels, and from the United States until the 23d of October next. Among these articles are flour, provisions, and grain of all kinds.
Postscript to the Newburyport Herald of June 14.
Captain Clark, of the Two Sons, who arrived this morning in 26 days from Nantz, brings no papers; but merely observes "no news;" should any thing transpire by letters, &c. we shall give it in our next.
POLITICAL SENTIMENTS.
"There is no word whatsoever that has admitted of more various significations, and has had more different impressions on human minds, than that of liberty. A cer-
tain nation, for a long time, thought liberty consisted in the privilege of wearing a long beard."
"It is true that in Democracies the people seem to do what they please, but political liberty does not consist in an unrestrained freedom."
"We must have continually presented to our minds the difference between independence and liberty. Liberty is a right of doing whatever the laws permit; and if a citizen could do what they forbid, he would have the same power."
"Miserable indeed would be the case, were the same man or the same body, whether of the nobles or of the people, to exercise those three powers, that of enacting laws, that of executing the public resolutions, and that of judging the crimes or differences of individuals. In the republics of Italy, where these three powers are united, there is less liberty than in our monarchies. Hence their government is obliged to have recourse to as violent methods for its support, as even that of the Turks. Witness the state inquisitors at Venice, and the lion's mouth into which, very informers, may, at all hours, throw his written accusations."
"As distant as heaven is from earth, so is the true spirit of equality from that of extreme equality. The former does not consist in managing so that every body should command, or that no one should be commanded; but in obeying and commanding our equals. It endeavors not to be without a master, but that its masters should be none but its equals."
"In the state of nature, indeed, all men are born equal; but they cannot continue in this equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by means of the laws."
"The principle democracy is corrupted, not only when the spirit of equality is extinct, but likewise when they fall into a spirit of extreme equality, and when every citizen wants to be upon a level with those he has chosen to command him; the people, incapable of bearing the very power they have intrusted, want to do every thing of themselves, to debate for the Senate, to execute for the magistrate, and to strip the judges. When this is the case virtue can no longer subsist in the republic. The people want to exercise the functions of the magistrates; who cease to be revered. The deliberations of the senate are slighted; all respect is then laid aside for the senators."
"The natural place of virtue is near to liberty; but it is not nearer to extreme liberty than to servitude."
"The pure and impartial administration of justice, is, perhaps, the firmest bond to secure a cheerful submission of the people, and to engage their affections to government."
From the NORFOLK LEDGER.
Mathew Lyon has been writing a long letter to Mr. William Duane, containing many remarks well worthy the attention of the curious. Take six from half a dozen, and you have the exact difference of the vulgarity of these characters. There is some humor to compensate the want of delicacy in the following introduction from Mat to Will.
"The animals called skunks are extremely plenty in the barrens of Kentucky, I have frequently seen them sitting in the road before me, after making a noise to start them out of the path without success. Not choosing to come within the reach of the odiferous liquid, with which they contaminate the atmosphere, I have reluctantly given them the path and rode round; at length some time last summer, having met an insolent fellow of that tribe in a defile, impassable ledges on both sides, I saw no other course but to risk the odiferous charge, and push through. This accordingly did to the destruction of an adversary, without any other injury than having my horse a little besprinkled, which was principally washed off at the next river let."
"I ask your pardon for this digression sir, but the analogy between my situation then and now is so very striking, I could not get the thing out of my mind till I put it on paper."
In the progress of his letter, in his zeal to injure his old friend, Mathew gives the public some truths meriting attention. He speaks of Dunn's first appearance in America in the following language:
"A ragged vagabond, with a downcast guilty look, like Cain, expecting every man's hand to be raised against him; but

at liberty with filth, and shunned as a spectre, no other distinguishing property than of ability to write with severity; to falsehood and lies some semblance of truth; to give the appearance of falsehood and lies some semblance of truth. The democrats of this country were in by him; by their countenance and countenance he became the conductor of a vigilance he enabled him to put on a clean shirt; to fill his belly, to look a little sleek and hold up his head."
"Murder will out" and the same may be said of crimes of less magnitude: what honest confession is this of Lyon's: it being nearly this—We, the democratic members of congress were determined to take the reins of government into our hands possible, and we little cared what means were used for that purpose: we picked up a vagabond Duane, and employed him preference to any other, because we considered him a greater scoundrel than any other; because "he could give falsehood and lies some semblance of truth, and give the appearance of falsehood;" we would all do the same 'more or less' but preferred having some one who had no character to injure to do our work for us: From what we can gather in Matthew's letter, it seems that after the death of Duane, was very solicitous to have the democrats purchase the Aurora office, and leave the management of it to him. But this request was opposed, and Lyon attributed the failure of it to his advice; I foresees, says Lyon "his charges would be made up something like those made for running against the house of representatives;" the price of the establishment too, says Lyon was enormous: "I spoke freely against the purchase; he missed the execution, and can never forgive me for the disappointment." Hence the quarrel between the two patriots Duane and Lyon. Duane took the first opportunity to insult Lyon, and blackguard him for his vote on the Yazoo business; Lyon threatened in revenge to have Duane deprived of the printing business of the house: this he has effected; and thus by the falling out of the two, the printing will be done at the regular price, and honest men will come by their own.
It is remembered by most of our readers that Frothingham a printer in N. York, was prosecuted, and punished for a libel on general Hamilton. The following is Matthew's account of the affair. "When it was insinuated that offers were made by general Hamilton to purchase the office for the use of the opposite party, I told a great friend of mine who was most zealous for the purchase, that I considered these insinuations thrown out merely to alarm the republicans, and drive on the bargain. When this story appeared in a public paper, and poor Frothingham was fined and imprisoned for republishing it, without any affront on the part of the wretch I am now speaking of, (who has acknowledged himself the author,) to save Frothingham, my friends was convinced it was right."
From this does it not appear that the office of the Aurora, being in the possession of the executors of the estate of Benjamin Franklin Bache for the benefit of his children, Duane wished that the democratic members of congress and other democrats would purchase it for him; and to induce them so to do, Duane fabricates one of his sabbath day lies, and declares that the federalists are exerting themselves to purchase it, and that general Hamilton had actually made proposals for its purchase. The printer of the New York Argus republishes the falsehood of Duane, and is punished, while Duane bellows against the persecuting spirit of the federalists, and lauds the patriotism of Frothingham, and condoles with him on his sufferings.
There is a pretty fellow for you. Well might John T. Mason say, and Mr. Ritchie declare he could almost repeat, that to Duane more than to any other the American people were indebted for their liberties.
We come now to another confession of Lyon's that will make every reader and patroniser of the Aurora blush. "I often told my republican friends in those days, that the LIES of this man would injure our cause if the conflict lasted long enough to have them exposed. A thousand times has he brought a blush on the face of the honest men of our party, when they read his unfounded attacks against their opponents." What a confession, what a confession! and to what would it amount in other words? Thus—We, Matthew Lyon, Thos. Jefferson, Albert Gallatin, at her patriotic members of congress, and other worthy characters "picked up" this Duane to assist us because he had such a faculty of lying. It was with shame and with horror
we saw to what lengths of villainy the fellow would go; we blushed in secret, but we rejoiced in public; we countenanced him, we patronised, we paid him; we are equally guilty with him, qui facit per alium facit per se , but he bears the censure and we reap the benefits.
Safe as you may think yourselves, secret as you may have considered your baseness, democratic demagogue, wherever you are, from Thomas Jefferson, round the full circle to Duncan Mc Farland, what think you of this open acknowledgment of one of your not less worthy members, that the Aurora was the great engine that brought you into office, that its editor was picked up, patronised for his superior knavery, and that the goodness of your cause is founded on his lies?
Who are you that now patronise the Aurora? Is there not, as Lyon says, a blush brought on your faces, when you read that paper; or has the age of blushing gone by?
Doctor Grey, in a note to that line of Hudibras, "Like words congealed in northern air," relates a belief of many that in the north of Russia words freeze in the winter, and in the spring thaw all at once, when the most strange confusion of tongues is heard and many secrets laid open. Supposing all the confidential conversation of our democratic demagogues should thaw, what a curious confusion of criminal conversation and confession would give a murmuring thunder from Maine to Georgia, and die away in Kentucky; from Joe Bartlett to Sam Morse, and over the mountains to John Breckenridge! These words are thawing, and these demagogues will yet become "men of snow," as Shakespeare somewhere has it, "before the sun of truth."

"Chains no where patiently, and chains at home. Where I am free by birthright, not at all." COWPER.
Liberty cannot be secure where any class or body of the community is placed beyond the reach of law. Where office is a sanctuary for crimes, chains will be the portion of innocence. Our constitution in this view, evinces the wisdom of its framers, for it places none of its officers beyond the reach of justice. It contains no maxim of human infallibility; it does not say that our executive, legislative, or judicial officers "can do no wrong." It presupposes their participation of human weakness and imbecility and their liability to commit crimes, and makes them subject to the laws, amenable to the tribunals of their country. Some of them, indeed, in order to secure the complete representation of the people and insure the execution of the laws, are free from arrest in civil causes, but in criminal causes there cannot be, there is no exemption. The fourth section of the second article of the constitution expressly provides, that the President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office, on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." This clause, however, may be supposed to extend to their conduct only in their official capacity or as it respects the laws of Congress. It seems that these "crimes and misdemeanors," must be committed either in the execution of their offices or in contravention of the general laws of the union. The federal government can take cognisance of no other crimes. It therefore, murder is not forbidden by the constitution of the United States or by "the laws made in pursuance thereof," these officers cannot be impeached and convicted of the offence by the authority of the general government. The second clause of the fifth section of the first article of the constitution declares, that "each house (of congress) may determine the rules of its proceedings; punish its members for disorderly behaviour; and with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member." This clause is presumed to operate only during the actual session of the house. The natural construction of the clause will confine the power of punishment and expulsion to "disorderly behaviour" in the presence of the house and to the transgression of the established "rules of its proceedings." This construction is confirmed by the consideration that the power of trying and punishing all offenders is expressly vested, by the constitution, in a different department of our government. There is, however, a law of the general government against the crime of murder; but its operation is con-
fined to the high seas and to those tracts and districts of our country which are "under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States."
It seems, therefore, that some of these clauses will give the federal government cognizance of the crime of murder committed by a member of its administration, or by any other person within the limits or jurisdiction of a particular state. This may be considered as a lamentable defect in our constitution or in our laws. One would imagine that the conduct of the officers of the union and members of the legislature ought, at all times and in all places, to be under the immediate inspection and controul of the general government; that a power ought to be lodged by the constitution in some department, adequate to the punishment of its officers for such flagrant violations of the laws of nature and of moral rectitude; that this additional barrier ought to be erected to preserve the purity of government and prevent the commission of crimes, by those men who have been promoted to stations of profit, honor, power and importance. If congress has power by the constitution to provide laws for such cases, the members are guilty of gross negligence in suffering that power to slumber—If legislators possess, and do exercise the power of making laws, for the prevention of crimes and the punishment of criminals, they violate the highest duties of the station; for the security of persons and property is the prime object of legislation. Yes they are in a degree accessories before the fact; they encourage crimes by holding the promise of impunity to transgressors, or efface all moral distinctions, by viewing virtue and vice with equal indifference.—In either case they are highly criminal, and sacrifice the rights and security of their country.
But it is supposed that congress does not possess this power. It is supposed that the constitution does not vest it in that body or in any department, the jurisdiction of such a crime even when it is committed by an exalted officer of the government. Is not the constitution then defective? How can the wise framers of that instrument answer for the omission to the purity of their own hearts or of their country? In vain have they expressly acknowledged the weakness, fallibility and possible corruption of legislators and civil officers, if they have not placed them within the reach of punishment. In vain have they acknowledged the depravity of the human heart, if no power is given to restrain its impulse. How shall we account for the apparent inconsistency? Let us pursue our inquiry still further, and, if we cannot find a justification, we may possibly find some excuse, for the deficiency. Perhaps some adequate remedy may yet be discovered.
The federal government was erected upon, and co-operates with, those of the individual states. In order to acquire a competent knowledge of the beauty, regularity and harmony of the whole system, it is necessary to examine the connexions and relations of its several parts. Prior to the establishment of the federal constitution, the different states of the union exercised, separately, the powers of independent sovereignty. It was found that their different views and jarring interests would soon rend asunder the feeble cords of their confederation and involve them in general warfare and commotion, until the more powerful would eventually swallow up the minor states. To prevent this threatening calamity, a general convention of delegates from the various parts of the union was called. They assembled and the federal compact was the result of their deliberations. Its object was to establish a superintending, controuling power over the states, to enforce the performance of their relative duties, to manage their external concerns and to combine the effective forces and essential of the whole. The great and extensive objects of the united body were confided to the direction of the general government, while local regulations, internal police and the punishment of the transgressors of their laws were still left to the respective exclusive jurisdiction of the several states. Thus the general and state governments are a mutual support and protection to each other.—Their branches thus interwoven and combined, but still distinct, form, by their union, a compact, strong and perfect structure. If, then, there is no general law of the union to punish him who commits the crime of murder, within the jurisdictional limits of a particular state, yet it does not follow that the murderer is safe from prosecution, conviction and punishment.—Every state in the union has provided a law for the punishment of that crime. In some states, its commission by the means of duelling, subjects the offender to supe-
rior and ignominious servility. Even legal infamy is stamped on the memory of him who falls in the contest. There is in every state or body of men selected, constituting the grand inquest of the commonwealth, sworn to enquire into the commission of crimes and lodge in court an accusation against the perpetrators. Officers are appointed to seek, arrest, and bring them forward to the proper tribunal. Courts are established to try, to convict and pronounce sentence. The executive authority is under a sacred obligation to provide for the execution of the sentence. Where then is the security of the criminal? Where can he find a refuge for his guilty head? In the state where the crime was committed, he can find none. But no state can exercise authority and apprehend criminals beyond its own limits without a stipulated right. Can they, then, flee into another state and find safety there? We will next examine whether they are then beyond the reach of justice and preclude pursuit.

A Circular Letter to the Booksellers in every part of the United States.
BOSTON, 1805.
GENTLEMEN,
We are the publishers of a periodical paper in this town, called the Monthly Anthology and Boston Review. Under the latter head, it is our wish and intention to give early notices and correct views of all books which may be published in this country, always giving the preference to original American productions. For this purpose several gentlemen of different professions, taste and learning, have associated, and have promised to furnish us with such communications, under the department of the Boston Review, as they may think proper. From the well established character of these gentlemen, we hazard nothing in pledging ourselves, for the fidelity and talents, with which this part of our journal will be executed.
In order to assist them in the prosecution of their plan, we take the liberty to request the favour of you to forward as soon as may be after publication a copy of all books, pamphlets, &c. which may be issued from your press, and we flatter ourselves that such notices and reviews will be given of all publications, inculcating sound science, good morals and correct taste, as will extend their circulation and thereby promote your interest.
Loving our country, and feeling deeply interested in her literary, as well as her political fame, we ardently wish to see the time when by her munificence to learned men, through a true estimation of their productions, she will release herself from the imputation under which she now so justly lies; and when America, by the number of her illustrious citizens, and her literary fame, may be called the eye of the world, as the ancient city of Athens was emphatically styled that of Greece.

Valuable Property for Sale. The subscriber being desirous of removing to the western country, offers for sale, the following Tracts of LAND, in Fairfax county, Virginia, viz. The Tract on which he resides, containing about 740 acres, 5 miles below Alexandria, and within one mile of Potomac river, in an agreeable neighborhood; the situation pleasant and remarkably healthy; the land level and well adapted to the production of Indian corn, wheat, and other small grain. The improvements are, a large and commodious dwelling house, two stories high, 54 feet long and 35 feet wide, with four rooms and a passage on a floor, a piazza nine feet wide on each front, the full length of the house, and an excellent cellar under the whole house divided into four rooms and a passage; a good kitchen, meat house, dairy, ice-house, and every other necessary building, all in good repair, with a well of excellent water; a good garden, apple & peach orchard, and about 40 acres of excellent timothy meadow, and as much more may be made at a very small expense: Also, an overseer's house, negro quarters, a granary, &c. One other Tract, containing about 1250 acres, 6 miles below Alexandria, divided into two farms sufficient to work 9 or 10 hands on each: The buildings on these farms consist only of overseer's houses, negro quarters, granaries, &c. There are 40 or 50 acres of good timothy meadow well enclosed, and a great deal more may be made at a trifling expense; the land very level and fertile, with an abundance of timber. This tract is allowed, by those who know it well, to be equal, if not superior, to any tract of the same extent in this part of the country. It will be sold entire, or divided, as may be found most convenient. One other Tract near the last mentioned one, containing 402 acres, rented to tenants at will; a considerable portion of which is level and the soil good. There are on it, two or three beautiful and commanding situations for buildings, and a meadow from which one of the tenants sells from 15 to 20 tons of hay a year. Another Tract, of about 325 Acres, 9 or 10 miles below Alexandria, through which the stage road leading from thence to Richmond passes: This would be an excellent stand for a tavern, there being none at this time between Alexandria and Colchester, a distance of 16 or 18 miles: Also, One other Tract near the last, containing about 400 acres. Both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will; they produce good corn, wheat, and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order, from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay. For terms, apply to the subscriber, five miles below Alexandria. Thomson Mason. May 22.
Runaway Negro DICK, THE property of George G. Boon, (King George County,) was sent to my care in January last, to hire; on the 31st of May he obtained leave and a pass of me, to go to Fredericksburg and to return; but it appears has absconded. There is nothing remarkable in his person; he is about a common size man, about 30 years old, very black, is of a diffident manner at first, but is disposed to become familiar, he is very fond of dressing to the best appearance, and is remarkable for affecting to speak in a learned style, though commonly incorrect; he has been mostly employed in a tavern, for some years past, and is fond of such like employment. Twenty dollars will be given for his apprehension and all reasonable charges by me, or his master, or John Johnston, Fredericksburg. John Pittman. June 18. N. B. All persons are forewarned, employing or in any way assisting said negro.
For SALE and to RENT. I wish to sell 900 acres of Land, on Sugar Land Run; being a moiety of 1800 acres, lying on the edge of Loudoun, and in Fairfax county, about 20 miles from Alexandria, 19 from George-Town, and about a mile and one quarter from the river—level. It has an abundance of fine timber on it equal to any in the county, and no tract of land can be more copiously supplied with innumerable springs of the finest water; there is a part of it laid down in fine clover paddocks, with a good orchard and several buildings fit for tenants. This land was deeded to me, several years ago, by Ferdinand Fairfax, Esquire—the title indisputable, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land offered to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber. I wish to Rent, for 5 or 6 years,
An ISLAND in the Potomac, About fifteen miles from George-town, Containing 216 acres; most of which is cleared: I am told, by those who have been in Kentucky, that it is equal to any land in that state, producing from 10 to 12 barrels of corn per acre in a tolerable season. A great bargain may be had in the purchase of the first mentioned tract, and in the latter on rent, provided application be soon made. Possession may be had at Christmas, (when the present crop will be finished) with liberty of sowing wheat this fall. It is supposed, by judges, there is a good MILL-SEAT, with a stream of water on the 900 acre tract. Any person desirous of purchasing will view it and judge for themselves. B. DADE. May 16.
PUBLIC SALE. The subscriber will offer, at PUBLIC SALE, at Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMS's tavern, in the town of Dumfries, on the first Monday in July, (being the 1st of the month) that VALUABLE PROPERTY, known by the name of  CLIFTON-MILL, WITHIN two and an half miles of Dumfries, 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 leading from Fauquier court house, Center ville &c. (and thought by some not any out of the way at all) and a very good road to it; together with from 90 to 100 acres of land, the greatest part of which is well wooded; the Mill is an overthrust, with a wheel of 20 feet 9 inches and 4 feet head, with 2 pair of stones, 1 pair of French burrs of 5 feet, the other of Cologne, with every apparatus necessary for carrying on merchant business to the best advantage. The Mill House is 50 feet long by 27 feet wide, 2 stories high, together with a barn, stable, cow-house and lumber house convenient to the Mill, a convenient Dwelling House not quite finished, with a Kitchen, Meat and Corn House, all of which have been built within eight or nine years past: There is on this place a thriving young Peach Orchard. ALSO, At the same time and place, will be offered for Sale, A small PLANTATION, containing from 120 to 130 acres, adjoining, and being part of the above tract of land. There is on this place a small Dwelling House, Kitchen & Meat House—also a very thriving young Peach Orchard, with other Fruit Trees. The situation of this property must render it a desirable acquisition to any person inclined to engage in this line of business, particularly 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 inclining to purchase will wish to see them. The subscriber will show the property; or, if he be absent, Mr. James G. Evans, living thereon, will attend. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable property, but some pressing demands which I am anxious to discharge. The Conditions of the Sale will be— One-half of the purchase money in hand, the other half in 9 or 18 months, bearing interest from the day of sale; approved security will be required. Possession will be given of the Mill, &c. immediately, and the Land as soon as the crop is off; and the latter place on Christmas next. JOHN SOWDEN. May 23.
