A FAMILY SCENE, IN THE COUNTRY.
"The social joys which lead Delicious sunshine through the breath."
'Twas Evening—and the fallen snow Had covered every shrub below; The chilling storm still howl'd around Death to the wretch unsheltered found; When near a cheerful blazing fire, Picture of self consumed desire, Four sisters sat; fearless of harms, Nor fear'd one sigh for city's charms. While Laura from her tuneful throat, Parted the air with melting note, Telling the sportsman's healthful glow, The lover's bliss, the lover's woe; The soft guitar, with power less sweet, Bade echo every sound repeat, Or the Piano bolder grown, Learn'd from her touch the sportive tone; Florella's faithful pencil trac'd The forms within her fancy plac'd, Landscapes where art and nature vie, And the soft maid, with downcast eye; Celia her curious art effay'd, And the light box ingenious made, The fair inventor's mind to show, Where strength and taste united grow; And Sylvia's busy fingers tried To weave the purse in gaudy pride, Where life in truest emblem shines, The dark and bright in mingling lines.
Thus seated round, they, wifely gay, Taught the light hours to glide away, With converse sweet the time beguil'd, The jest flew round while virtue smil'd; For absent friends the wish was fram'd, Friends, who the heart's warm blessing claim'd, And Fancy's hand, with colouring true, Gave to the scene her richest hue.
The clock strikes ten; the sisters rise, And gaze around with sparkling eyes, For smoking on the board is seen Lov'd Hasty Pudding's jolly mein, Besides Molasses stands, and near The placid leaves of Milk appear. "Ha! ha! ha!" Florella cries, for Time With hand supreme, and power sublime, By whom we rise, by whom we fall, The friend and enemy of all, Steals the last charm from blooming fools, Fires the cold heart, and—pudding cools."
Around they sit; the golden flakes Float in the cooling silvery lakes,* Or spread a cowlip cover'd lawn, With rich brown streams across it drawn, Like love it clings, like joy it swells, How warm the rising vapour tells.
Cries Laura, "blest'd with nature's store, Shame on the wretch, who fights for more, And ah, how vain is fortune's strife! How few the real wants of life! Far happiest they, whose smiling home Is virtue's Temple, pleasure's dome, Who, from the cares of friendship, know Joys, such as wealth could ne'er bestow." "Dear Hasty Pudding!" Celia cries, Listing her soft and azure eyes, "Had but Apollo's glorious power Presided at my natal hour, Or had some nymph of gentler ray, Taught me to raise the tuneful lay, Thy beauties should inspire my muse, And thee, of every theme I'd chuse, But though the Nine disdain my tongue, Yet still let all thy charms be sung, And Sylvia, from thy rustic reed, Do thou bestow thy richest meed." "Content!" cries Sylvia, "Though my lip Castalia's fountain ne'er could sip, Yet round the borders oft I stand, Drinking the dews that bless the land. But while my feeble art I try, Hope not the traits with life can vie. With bounteous gifts the fruitful soil Repay the farmer's painful toil. But most the cornfield charms our eye Waving its graceful plumage high, Till shooting ears a feast supply." Thus young it yields a rich repast, But grown too old, and hard at last, Not useless, to the mill it goes, And thence this golden powder flows. Of this the poor man makes his bread, On this the rich man's horse is fed, From this, strong health and beauty grow, To this, our happy meal we owe."
No—not to this—for, nymph divine, Domestic Peace! the charm was thine; Thine, the soft glance, the accent meek, The melting smile, the glowing cheek, And thine, the pure, the tranquil joys, No duty chills, nor fear destroys.
* Then drop with care into the silver lake The flakes of pudding."

In yesterday's paper we mentioned the capture of the British ship Esther; the arrival, yesterday morning, of the pilot boat Delight, with the mangled remains of that gallant but unfortunate ship's crew, has furnished us with the particulars of the action, and of the base and brutal massacre which followed it. The leading facts are detailed in the following
PROTEST.
James Sprinks and John Smith, two of the seamen late of the British ship Esther, George Irving, master, make oath, That on Monday the 28th of October last, they sailed in and with said ship from this port, bound to London, in company with the ship Ariel, captain Payne; Minorca, transport, captain Wood; and a schooner under convoy of his Britannic Majesty's sloop of war Petrel, being tight, &c. manned with 35 men, two of whom shipped on board the Petrel. That they continued in the prosecution of their voyage without meeting with any material occurrence, until Thursday following, at two o'clock, A. M. when the ship was taken aback and struck by a very heavy sea, under her counter, which they soon after discovered caused her to make 18 in. of water per hour. That they immediately got the powder out of the magazine on deck and discovered the leak near the stern post. That captain Irving asked the carpenter whether he could stop the leak, and being answered no, that it was impossible to stop it at sea the crew was called aft, and they unanimously agreed to bear up and speak the commodore. That at meridian they got within hail of the commodore and informed him of their leaky condition, and taking into consideration the season of the year and the bad weather, he recommended that they should return to port.
That they accordingly bore away for this port, and joined the Minorca which had bore away some time before, also in a very leaky situation. That on Saturday morning at about 8 o'clock they arrived off the Bar, and a pilot was put on board of each ship, who informed that there was a French privateer in shore; they immediately cleared the decks for action. At about nine o'clock they saw the privateer bearing down upon them. At ten she came within gun-shot. The ship Esther immediately gave her a broadside, and she hauled her wind and stood off, until between four and five o'clock in the afternoon; when she again ran down upon the ship and received another broadside, fired one gun in return, veered round, and again stretched off. That on Sunday morning, at about 8 o'clock she again returned, and fired one gun at the Esther, which was returned by a broadside, and the privateer sheered off a third time.
That they did not come to action after that till Monday morning at 7 o'clock, when the privateer ran down upon them with an intention to board, and received the Esthers broadside. That after that a severe conflict was kept up by both parties for about three quarters of an hour; when the privateer boarded with nearly the whole of her crew. That they continued the fight for about twenty minutes after being boarded; when having two men killed and several wounded, and of consequence being much reduced in numbers, Mr. Lowden, the third mate, by order of Capt. Irving, struck the colours, and returning, was killed on the quarter. That after the colors was struck, the captain was cut down in the cabin, and mangled in a most inhuman manner; and the second mate was run through the body with a small sword. The prisoners being below, were ordered up by Ross, the leader of the privateersmen, that they might be put to death; but on some remonstrance, he ordered that his men should fire down the hatchway upon them, which they accordingly did, killing the carpenter and wounding two men so severely that they died of their wounds immediately on being put into the pilot-boat, that the said privateer proved to be the Creole, Capt. Pierre Burgman, from Barracoa, manned with 111 men, and mounting seven guns of different calibres, upon swivels. They state their loss to be six killed; seven severely wounded; and a number missing, supposed to have been knocked overboard and drowned.
In addition to the above particulars, it is stated, that the captain of the privateer was wounded in the fleshy part of the arm by a musket ball, and Ross slightly in the wrist; they were both knocked overboard, but regained the privateer by swimming. After the wounded seamen on board the Esther had been collected on deck, it was proposed by Ross to throw them all overboard, instead of putting them into the pilot boat; and when the latter was agreed to, they were put into slings, thrown over the side, and
let down by the run into the boat. One poor fellow, who had been wounded in the wrist and thrown overboard, was accidentally fell in with an hour afterwards and picked up by the pilots. The pilot who was on board the Esther, being stationed in the magazine, escaped unhurt.
The state of the killed and wounded on board the Esther is as follows: The capt. 3d mate, carpenter and two men killed. The chief mate and four men have died of their wounds. Thirteen are at the hospital, a number of which are expected to die of their wounds. These, together with one boy (wounded) on board the privateer, and four men unhurt, also on board the privateer, and five men arrived unhurt in the city, compose 33, the ship's company.
It will naturally be imagined by any being, not bereft of intellect and feeling, that upon the above transaction there would be but one opinion, one sentiment; and that exclamations of unmixed abhorrence and execration would interrupt the hideous recital. May we believe or is it only a loose report, that even this atrocity has not wanted its extenuators and its vindicators in this city? That there are some, whose invention, prompt and pregnant in the dictates of evil, could find out causes, excuses and pretexts for such villainies. Villainies, the perpetrators of which must, before they committed them, have had every thing human cast out of their composition. It is said by the poet of nature (Shakspeare) that the Devil himself can quote Scripture for his own purposes. The eighteenth century has added a new and miraculous proof of the power of his cloven-footed majesty.
"The devil himself will never want impudent advocates among men." We swear he never will wherever his signed and sealed with-blood agents, the jacobins, prow about upon his missions. We know and we have now for about fifteen years been saying it, that there is no ordinary wickedness which those who admire the revolutionary French, and admiring of course resemble them, will not with alacrity perform, provided it answers a purpose; and that there is nothing which such persons can do that will not have its advocates. But to advocate and extenuate gratuitous, useless, unprofitable villainy, is a stretch even beyond the long measure of depravity which we always allow to their hearts, when attempting to give to jacobins their due. The murderer himself, is not always so bad as the advocate for murder. When we were told that there were some who expressed a savage exultation at this business, we directly recoiled from the crime of believing, that there was in the form of man, any wretch so damned.
It is a shame for the British commanders on the stations near this coast to leave the British commerce unprotected. It is uncharitable in them not to afford to American commerce, with which, by the bye, the interest of their country is so intimately connected—that protection which the wisdom, the integrity, the spirit, and the disinterested purity of their present prudent, parsimonious administration withholds from it.
While we have a hand to write, we shall continue to expose the turpitude of that whole system of piracy called privateering, while we have breath to utter a yow we shall execrate it: No matter whether it be perpetrated by French, Spaniards, English, or Americans. The evil is great enough of itself—it always was so, when confined to battle and robbery: but, when vengeance goes hand in hand with plunder; when the trader is not only robbed of his means, but deprived of his life; and when fair defence leads to cold, cowardly, deliberate, vindictive murder, the hands and hearts of all mankind ought to be at once raised against all concerned in it.
The above Ross, ought to be so designated and marked out to the eye of justice, that he should not escape. Frenchmen and Englishmen may plead the antiquated abuse of privateering, because they are at war with each other. But the American citizen, having no such plea, has no excuse. He is a pirate, and ought to be executed, if taken. The person here alluded to, is well known in this city and in Baltimore.
NEW-YORK, November 15.
While the powers of Europe appear to be on the eve of a sanguinary war, our own peaceful country seems to have also the prospect of laying aside the olive. She has been long injuriously treated by the principal maritime states of that quarter, and aggravated insult can scarcely be supposed never to meet any thing more than verbal censure and fruitless complaint. The jealous folks of Spain, lately the possessors of the delightful regions of Louisiana, dont appear satisfied somehow or other, and snap and snarl a good deal at our American land
jobbers, who most assuredly mean them no body not the least harm. And at any rate, whatever they may think of the bargain and its consequences, it is ungenerous and unjust to make the individuals of a country suffer for the speculations of its cabinet. If this sulky nation is dissatisfied (as is doubtless the case) let the truth be candidly set forth; and then an opinion can be promptly formed what measures should be pursued to satisfy reasonable claims or punish impertinent or unjustifiable ones.
The board of health of this city have published a lengthy report, relative to the first appearance, progress, and extinction of the late epidemic. As many parts of this report is unimportant, we shall give but the following extracts from it:
"From the commencement to the final extinction of the late prevailing disease 600 cases of the malignant fever have been reported to the board. 262 deaths, as published in the daily bulletins, including those that happened since their discontinuance, have occurred. 64 patients, moreover, were sent to the marine hospital, 28 of whom died of malignant fever.
The total number of patients admitted into Bellevue Hospital was one hundred and seventy five, one hundred and forty-nine of which were cases of the malignant fever, and twenty six of other diseases. The total number of deaths at the Hospital which were included in the bulletins, was sixty nine. Fifty two of which were by malignant fever, and the remaining seventeen by other maladies. The ratio of recoveries from malignant fever is very nearly two thirds, which, considering that a very large proportion of the patients were received in the last stages of disease and many of them in the very agonies of death, reflects the highest credit on the practice of the visiting and resident physicians of that establishment.
"To alleviate as far as possible the miseries of the indigent, deprived of all resource for their daily support by the general abandonment of the city, the doors of the Alms-House were opened and rations issued to sixteen hundred and forty families. An asylum was erected on the public grounds adjoining Bellevue gate, for the reception of such poor families as the board judged it expedient to remove from the seat of disease. Every accommodation was afforded to one hundred and fifty persons, men, women, and children, who were maintained by the public bounty."
"These various objects, combined with the augmentation of the city watch, necessarily involved the board in an expenditure of twenty five thousand dollars."

Letters by the Hannah from New Orleans, are to the 20th ult. They continue to state several occurrences which lead to a supposition, that a state of tranquility cannot be long maintained. The marquis de Cassa Calvo had left New Orleans for Natchitoches, which occasioned various conjectures. It was very confidently asserted, that a very considerable body of cavalry had arrived on the western frontier, either with a view of crossing thence to the Floridas, or to remain there ready for any sudden emergency. The frigate Pomona had arrived at Pensacola, and landed 400 men. These circumstances it is added, very naturally awaken in us, strong apprehensions of the continuance of peace.

Extract of a letter, dated
"S.W. POINT, (Tennessee) Oct. 18.
"A treaty was concluded, two days ago, with the Cherokees at Tellico, near this place. The Indians have relinquished their right to the lands between here and Nashville, extending as far down the Tennessee river, as the mouth of Highwassee. This is a grand acquisition to this state."
There is a rumor that the emperor Bonaparte has made propositions towards a general peace, of so liberal a kind as to be likely to obtain the most serious attention of the court of Vienna. Among other things it is said, that he has proposed to grant his kingdom of Italy to LOUIS XVIII!!! [London pap.]
Captain Crocker, in the ship Nancy, of Boston, on his passage from Europe to Canton, made a new discovery of an island lying on the Pacific

as will appear from the following extract from his journal—“Thursday, 20th December, Variable winds, mostly from N. E. with fresh and calm, Reced N. N. W. At 1, P. very unexpectedly discovered from the deck an island, bearing N. E. by N. 1-4 distant about 11 leagues. At 6 do. it bore about 7 leagues to the nearest shore. It appeared to be about 12 or 15 miles long from N. W. to S. E. It is quite high land with some considerable mountains in the middle, which may be seen off deck at the distance of fifteen leagues in clear weather. Its latitude is from good observation of the sun's altitude, to be 5 degrees 12 minutes, and from an observation of a star's altitude, when the island was first seen east of us, to be 4 deg. 11 min. N. and longitude from two sets of distances of Moon and star, taken when about fifty miles from it, to be 162 deg. 57 min. E. of Greenwich. Having such island laid down in my charts, India Pilot conclude it must be a new discovery and as I name it Strong's Island , in compliment to Richard Strong, esq. governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts.” Captain Swaine, of Nassau, about two years since on a voyage to N. discovered an island not laid down in any charts; the latitude and longitude of which was not published. Captain S. it is hoped will make the mention desired, that it may be determined whether it was the same island seen by capt. S. or not. The publication of discoveries made by navigators, and their detection of errors in charts is of great utility and worthy of prompt imitation.
French & Spanish depredations.
It would seem from the organ of our government, the official Intelligencer, that the administration begin to be sensible that our citizens have received some injuries from the British Cruizers, and are having the way, if we may judge from appearances, to redress them by recommending the passage of a non-importation, non-consumption, and non-exportation law, similar to that of seventy four . Of the practicability of this scheme we shall say nothing at present. We are glad to find that government at length deem the subject worth talking about. But while such effectual measures are in agitation to humble the insolence of Great Britain, why is there such a profound silence as to the arrogant and intolerable barbarities of France and Spain? Look at the savage treatment experienced by the officers and men of the brig Stork , captain Cornell , as described in a letter from the Supercargo , published in this Gazette of Tuesday last—The vessel plundered by a French privateer, the captain and supercargo knocked down and cruelly beaten, the son of the captain a little boy lashed to the shrouds & inhumanely scourged almost to death for the diabolical purpose of inducing the father to acknowledge under his hand that his cargo was English property. Such is one instance of the treatment, which the citizens of this free, independent and neutral nation is continually experiencing from the piratical cruizers of France.
Another somewhat in the same style may be seen in this day's paper under the Newbury-port head. What say our government to all this? not a word. It is not to be supposed that the great and magnanimous republic is capable of injustice.
How stands the matter with Spain? We are told that there is official information in the country that the Spanish monarch is very amicably disposed towards this country; that he has lately renewed his orders to all his officers in a particular manner to respect the American flag.—Let every day produces accounts of war being actually declared by Spain against the United States; and wh they declared or not, it is certainly carried on with unabated vigour and in its most ruinous form. A Spanish privateer direct from Cadiz, where the orders of the Spanish court must certainly have been known, has lately carried two American vessels into Porto Rico. Another has captured a regular trader from one port of the United States to another, (the Letitia , captain Franklin ) and carried her into the Havana. In this day's Gazette will be found an account of an American schooner from Savanna la Mar to Charleston, taken and plundered by a Spaniard. Notwithstanding all this we hear not a word from our government of any misunderstanding with Spain. Nay, we ought to presume that government is not apprised that Spain is engaged in war at all: inasmuch as we are not furnished with the passports agreed upon between the two nations, in case either of them should be involved in war. Such is the present embarrassed state of our commerce, and such the indifference of government to those interests which they were appointed to protect. (U. S. Gaz.)

In a late number of the London Traveler we find the following article.
DETENTION OF AMERICAN SHIPS. To the Editor of the Traveller.
SIR, In a commercial country it is expedient that the ear of government should be open to the solicitations or remonstrances of merchants; and it is also natural for the leading men in trade to form a sort of society, watching over the interests of the line in which they are more particularly engaged. Hence we see, that committees of various classes confer with the minister, as often as any question is agitated which can affect their interests.
There exist only one body of Merchants who seem not to understand the incalculable value of this privilege; or rather, whose concerns being more minute, cannot dedicate a portion of their time to enquiry after subjects of a general tendency, and whose landed or preliminary influence being comparatively small, do not feel sufficiently bold to stand forward, even on the best grounds; I allude to the Merchants trading with Germany, Holland, and France.
The importance of their commerce seems to have been overlooked, as often as it came into competition with any other object; and it seems forgotten that upon them and their prosperity hinges chiefly the welfare of our whole commercial and manufacturing system. They are the sole purchasers of most of the manufactures imported by the East India Company, and of more than one half of its raw commodities. They are almost the only buyers of the coffee, besides a very large proportion of the sugar, and other articles, brought from the West Indies. They are the chief encouragers of the sugar refineries and contribute, in no contemptible degree to the prosperity of our manufacturing towns. The Custom house entries prove sufficiently these assertions; in corroboration of which it may be remarked that any stagnation or bankruptcy among this class of merchants is the unerring forerunner of an universal decline in the prices of all articles, as the experience of the year 1799 amply shews. The importance of their trade is still more increased, as it is that through which our national industry diffuses itself over France and Holland, and brings back specie in return; thus producing the twofold effect of enriching us, and impoverishing our enemy.
The most dangerous rivals that these merchants have ever met with are the Americans; that nation navigate cheaper than we can; its situation and produce are peculiarly adapted to the West India trade, from whence it obtains colonial articles & bullion, with the latter of which it engages in very advantageous operations to the E. Indies. By remaining neutral the American property saves one half of the premiums of insurance paid by us; and the ships which convey to Europe the produce of the East and West Indies returns home with linens, a very lucrative trade. The effect of this speculative system has been, that the European markets cease, in a great measure to send orders here, for the goods, with which the Americans supply them much cheaper than we can.
The merchants trading to Germany, France and Holland, are thus materially injured, our commerce, navigation and manufactures in general, are undermined by a rival, whose capital is chiefly borrowed in London, and the laxity of whose laws respecting Mercantile engagements, peculiarly favor the spirit of adventure. Hence arises the difference between the prices which the West India planter now obtains for his produce, and what he obtained in the year 1788. Hence we see the E. India Company now selling for nine pence the pepper formerly sold at fifteen or 20 pence, and almost all its other raw manufactured goods at a similar depreciation. How far this may go on it is impossible to say, but we seem veering towards that point; where America will engross the navigation and commerce of Europe, while England will act merely as banker to her rival.
The treaty between this country and America leaves only one barrier against this event, in compelling cargoes to be landed there, before they become real American property. That this stipulation has been evaded on the one hand, and overlooked on the other, is a fact generally known; and every well wisher to the country rejoiced to see government at length opening its eyes to a traffic which gradually supplanted us in every European market. In proportion to this satisfaction must have been the general indignation in seeing a committee of American merchants openly remonstrating with the minister, against the measures taken to enforce the observance of the clause alluded to in the treaty with America.
Have they forgotten that the interest of a part must yield to the welfare of the whole, or that the real English trader should be favored at least as much as men who act merely as a drain upon our national prosperity; whose active capital is employed in facilitating the intercourse of the enemy with its colonies, through the medium of American ships; and whose inactive capital is invested in Trans-Atlantic government securities.
The newspapers state, that the order to search American vessels has been revoked or modified; a measure which influence, or misrepresentation may have obtained. The East India company, and the body of merchants and manufacturers, are only affected in a distant manner, and can only feel the consequences at a future time; it is probable, therefore, that the circumstance may have passed without their notice. The merchants trading to Germany, France & Holland, are the only immediate sufferers; but they are a passive body without any Esprit de Corps , and whose silence results more from apathy than from approbation.
The subject is of sufficient importance to deserve the reconsideration of Mr. Pitt; and it is to be hoped, that the merchants will find him not inattentive to their welfare.
A Merchant trading to Germany. Head-quarters, St. Louis, Sept. 20, 1805. GENERAL ORDERS.
Before a general court martial, of which lieut. col. Freeman was President, held at New Orleans, on the first and continued to the tenth of July, 1805, Colonel Thomas Butler, of the second Regiment of Infantry was tried on the following charges, viz.
CHARGE 1st. Willful, obstinate and continued disobedience of the General order of the 30th of April, 1801, for regulating the cut of the hair, and also disobedience of the order of the first of February, 1804.
Specification. By refusing to conform the cut of his hair, to the general order of the 30th of April, 1801, as directed in the order of the 1st. of February, 1804, contumaciously, resisting the authority of those orders, after he had been tried by a general court martial found guilty of disobedience of the general order of the 30th April, 1801, and sentenced to be reprimanded in general orders.
CHARGE 2d. Mutinous conduct.
Specification. By appearing publicly in command of the troops, at the city of New Orleans, with his hair cued in direct and open violation of the general order of the 30th, of April, 1801, and of the 1st, of February, 1804. Hereby giving an example of disrespect and contempt to the orders and authority of the commanding general, tending to disserve the bands of military subordination, to impair the force of those obligations, by which military men are bound to obedience, and to excite a spirit of sedition and mutiny in the army of the United States.
The prisoner plead not guilty, and the Court passed the following sentence, viz.
The Court having maturely weighed and considered what hath appeared before them in evidence, during the course of the prosecution, as well as what the prisoner, colonel Thomas Butler, hath urged in his defence, are of opinion that he is guilty of willful, obstinate and continued disobedience of the general order of the 30th of April, 1801, for regulating the cut of the hair, and also of disobedience of the general order of the first of February, 1804, as set forth in the first charge and specification, whereon he has been arraigned; the court also finds him guilty of mutinous conduct, in appearing publicly in command of the troops at the city of New Orleans, with his hair cued, in direct and open violation of the general order of the 30th of April, 1801, and first of February, 1804, as stated in the second charge, and part of the second specification; and thereupon, they do in consequence adjudge, and sentence him to be suspended from all command, pay, and emoluments for the space of twelve calendar months, to commence from, and immediately after the promulgation of this sentence.
The General confirms the sentence of the general Court Martial, and the court is dissolved.

Valuable Lands and Negroes FOR SALE.
THE Subscriber desirous of disposing of his distant property, so as to bring his affairs more within his reach and management, offers for sale the following lands and negroes, at prices so reduced as to claim the attention of persons wishing to invest money in such property, viz.
CHATHAM , that elegant and highly improved seat on the banks of the Rappahannock River, directly opposite the town of Fredericksburg, containing about eleven hundred acres, four hundred of which are in wood, and valuable timber, the rest in cultivation, and pleasure grounds—The land in tillage is level, a considerable part of it has been highly manured, and the whole of it well adapted to the culture of grain, small grain, and Indian corn, as the crop now growing will attest. The house and offices are of brick, and on a large and handsome scale, with a garden in front containing four acres, laid off with taste and well planted with the choicest fruit trees, now in full bearing, and ornamented with forest trees and shrubs of almost every description. There is on the estate adjoining the river, a grist-mill built of free stone, containing the modern machinery and two pair of stones, one of them French Burrs—It commands a large country custom, is well situated for merchant business, and has reuted for five hundred dollars per annum exclusive of all the grain of the farm hopper free, which is equal to three hundred dollars more. There are all necessary out houses, for either convenience or luxury, such as ice-house, spring-house, barn, stable, offices, &c. &c. With all these advantages and expensive improvements, this property is offered at a price which the lands alone ought to command. There are also some valuable fisheries, and quarries of free stone on this estate.
Also, a tract of land generally called Clark's, about two miles below Chatham, on the north bank of the Rappahannock river, and within view of the town of Fredericksburg, containing upwards of four hundred acres. About one hundred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahannock river bottom in cultivation, and is well adapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the residue is in wood, surrounding a height, which turns into a beautiful site for building.
Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, adjoining Stafford court house, containing upwards of twelve hundred acres. This is good farming land, and has several tenants on it.
Also, a tract of land in Westmoreland and Richmond counties, containing upwards of two thousand acres, on which there are also several tenants. These two last mentioned tracts of land will be sold in small tenements, or in entire tracts, as may best suit the wishes of purchasers.
Also, a tract of land called Boyd's Hole, containing about one hundred and fifty acres, on the banks of the Potomac, in King George county, on which there are a comfortable dwelling house, store and tobacco inspection ware house. Few situations combine more advantages, it being an excellent stand for a store, ferry and tavern, the two first of which are at present kept there. The houses have lately been put in good repair, and the buildings alone will rent for three hundred dollars a year. The land is good in quality, and the situation abounds in fish, oysters and wild fowl.
Also, a valuable Scite for a Mill, with 50 acres of Land adjoining, in King George county, and not far distant from the last mentioned tract. There has been a mill here for many years which has lately gone to decay, the dam is substantial and entire, and the situation for a country mill not equalled in that neighborhood, commanding a very extensive custom; the land is covered with cedar, which alone renders it very valuable.
Also, several Lots and Houses in the town of Fredericksburg.
Likewise, about two hundred and thirty NEGROES, of different ages, sizes and description. A share of them by families will be preferred; to effect this they will be offered at a reduced price. As a part of these Negroes are at present attached to the Chatham estate, the purchaser of that property may be accommodated with any number of them, as well as stock of every description.
Bank Stock of any of the Banks in Virginia, Maryland, or the district of Columbia, will be received in payment for any part of this property at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber is unable to attend to property so distant, & is anxious to convert it into stock.
He will also rent a number of FARMS on his Ravensworth estate, containing from 2 to 400 acres each, on encouraging terms, to good farmers. They lay from eight to ten miles distant from Alexandria, George-Town, and the City of Washington, and convenient to the turnpike road now building from Alexandria to the upper country.

KENTUCKY LANDS.
The Subscriber has FOR SALE, 53,500 ACRES of Land in Hardin county, Kentucky, binding for 20 miles on the western shore of Knobelsion, and lying about 25 miles from Hardin court house. Knobelsion is navigable from the land into Green river, and is the best fish stream in Kentucky.
This land, though near the Barens, is well wooded, and remarkably well watered. The outlines include 70,000 acres, but these are 16 or 17,000 acres of elder surveys within the lines, which are accurately laid down by actual survey made three years ago, for the purpose of ascertaining interferences. There is no land in Kentucky more free from dispute than the quantity offered for sale. On these elder surveys there are two mills and many families, and on the subscriber's land there are about a dozen families, desirous of buying their settlements, and he has reason to believe 100 families more would have purchased and settled on the land in the present year, had he suited his affairs to have sold out in single parcels; that part of the country possessing health, and many local advantages, and being near the centre of the state.
Samuel Turner of this town, knows this land well, and will take the trouble to give a just description of its quality, to those who may desire it. This land, if applied for prior to the 20th December, will be sold at 50 cents per acre, on bond with interest, payable in 1, 2, 3 & 4 years. If the bonds be satisfactorily secured, unquestionable title will at once be given for the land.
