From the (Richmond) RECORDER.
MRS. WALKER.
In the Recorder of the 13th current, reference was made to a circumstance, which had occurred a considerable time since, between a certain great personage, and a lady in Albemarle county. We meant to publish it for various reasons. One of them is that the public have a right to be acquainted with the real characters of persons, who are the possessors or the candidates for office. A second reason is, that an enemy cannot refuse the right of being attacked with his own weapons. Every body must well remember the noise which was made by the democrats in summer, 1797, concerning a personage of the opposite party, who had fallen into an illicit commerce with another man's wife. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander, says the proverb.
A third reason for publication is that we have been loudly accused of a design to attack the character of a most respectable lady, whereas such a thing never once came into our heads. The Bee had published the story, with a contradiction or denial of it. Meriwether Jones, with his wonted judgment and delicacy, transplanted the article into his Examiner, so that the Recorder cannot be charged as the first publisher of the tale. Instead of arraigning, we are going to vindicate the lady's character, if indeed a character so uncommonly respectable and amiable could be supposed to stand in want of a vindication. We beg to be understood that, if Jones had been silent, we should, most probably, have been so likewise. But a certain great personage has got such an absurd set of defenders about him as would be sufficient for destroying the character of any man. We never before witnessed so complete an example of literary suicide. Without any common place declamation upon the sanctity of the seventh commandment, or the guilt of seduction, or such trite matters, we shall tell a plain story that is universally believed and that ought long since to have been published.
Mr. John Walker, of Albemarle is a gentleman of independent fortune, and a most irreproachable character. His lady is universally represented as worthy to be the pattern of her sex. A great personage, who resides at some distance from Mr. Walker's, and who had been at school with him, had, after Mr. Walker's marriage, been in some measure, domesticated by him. Upon all occasions, he was received, in Mr. Walker's family, with that cordial hospitality, for which a Virginian country gentleman is so proverbially distinguished. The return to this friendship was an attempt, as foolish, as it was intamous, to injure the virtue of Mrs. Walker, and the happiness of her husband. He was repulsed with the contempt he deserved; and his intended exertions of his ENERGIES for the multiplication of our species , was, in this instance, disappointed. The lady, at the request of the great personage, consented to the concealment of the proposal. She did this, on promise of better behaviour, in time to come. Matters remained in that situation, for a certain period; how long we do not exactly know.
We did not suspect that the great personage had possessed that ARDOR OF CONSTITUTION , which was necessary for the renewal of so detestable, and so desperate a scheme. We have been, within the last fortnight, almost overwhelmed with reputable affirmations of what was, before, sufficiently credible. A second attempt was made, by slipping a billet into the lady's hand.
In the commission of the very same crime, a multitude of subordinate circumstances may lessen or augment the proportion of guilt, there is not, perhaps, any vice, where the degrees of guilt admit of a greater diversity than in that which is the subject of the present article. Upon a topic so delicate we decline the hazardous office of endeavoring to expatiate. We only say that, in combining the circumstances of this Albemarle conspiracy, there is not a single point of alleviation.
Whether the great personage was, at that time, married, we do not pretend to say. We have, in relating this affair, adhered to a generality of expression, to prevent the little contradictions of our precious public printer. On receipt of the billet, Mrs. Walker took her husband aside. She put the paper into his hand, and told him of the former attempt, that she had conditionally promised to suppress. The great personage received immediate permission to QUIT THE HOUSE ; and it is almost needless to add that this permission was accepted.
Mr. Walker never mentions the name of the great personage but in epithets of the most ardent detestation. We have been assured that he received from the great personage either one or more letters of DEPRECATION ; and that, if any great clamour shall be raised by the democrats, these letters, or that letter, will be burnt upon the indignation of mankind. Now, don't give us any more challenges to PUBLISHLETTERS . You have had quite enough of THAT FOR , in spite of the childish prattle of the Exa-
miner, the Recorder of October 6th made an impression which can never be recalled. Don't give us any more challenges to do all that WE CAN DO .
From the COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. REFLECTIONS IN AUTUMN.
Gentle Fancy, that skimmest lightly over the surface of nature—like the sweet humming-bird, thou rovest perpetually from one object to another, though occasionally pausing to extract honey from the flowers thou meets in thine excursions—how great a soother of our cares, how great a source of intellectual enjoyment art thou. Tho' oftentimes, by thine influence, the mind is enraptured in the gloom of melancholy, and unreal evils disturb our happiness, yet anon, light breaks in upon the soul, and a thousand images of delight enliven and enchant us. Led by thee, (when mantled by sadness) how often do we stray to visionary worlds—to formless scenes, which thy magic power alone could create—to deep, dark shades—to valleys that really drink the "Sun's all cheering beams."—to the habitations of man, that have long exhibited, in a striking manner, the decays of time!—Here thou delightest to rove—here to rest, and to invite the influence of pensive meditation.
At the dawn and prime of Spring , imagination is enflamed—the heart beats high with the pulse of joy—rapture diffends the bosom—and delight sparkles in the eye.
In the heat of Summer , the frame is relaxed—fancy is enfeebled—and the finer spirit that gives life to cheerfulness evaporate, leaving us debilitated, and incapable of one tender or elevated conception.
But Autumn —when the grave matron Autumn approaches, new spirits circulate through our veins, and new transports warm our bosoms. At this very moment she is present—the heat and languor of Summer is over—those languid days, and most insufferable nights are past and Fall has once more returned, to seat the pensive mind with the rich repast of " Heavenly Melancholy ."
How happy is the individual whose soul, attuned to the order and simple beauties of nature, disposed for contemplation, and so much at peace with heaven as never to find meditation irksome, lives remote from the battle and parade of pride and opulence, and enjoys an unreserved intercourse with Piety, Science and Friendship. If there be a rational way of spending time, a reflecting mind would surely pronounce this to be the way. Without being forever whirled in the vortex of business or dissipation—possessing independence, in point of property, yet with care enough to prevent the mind from stagnation, is assuredly what reason would prescribe, but what, alas, human prudence or diligence rarely can effect.
This state has been the wish of the wise thro' every age. The Philosopher has panted & sighed to enjoy it—the Poet has grown enthusiastic in the contemplation of it—and even the active, indefatigable man of business has proposed it as the reward of his toils, the termination of his cares.
It is evening—how still and silent is all nature. The voice of harmony has ceased—the sweet songsters of the wood, that but a few days ago enlivened the meadows and the fields, are fled—frighted by the appearance of Autumn, they have eloped to a kinder sky—the winds are hushed, and sadness rests on the face of things.
This is the luxury of solitude—this the extacy of silence and reflexion. Who would surrender delight like this for the mock gaiety of a ball—for the admiration of the croud, or the caresses of the great and fortunate.
The sun is setting—He departs, surrounded by a bright and splendid blaze—All the sky is adorned by his many coloured rays—the clouds share his effulgence, and pour upon the admiring eye all the beauties that diversified color can produce. Unspeakable are the charms of such a scene, and inexpressible the feelings it raises in the heart.
Spirit of Mercy—to thee are we indebted for every enjoyment we experience below. Thy beneficent hand scatters the path of life with roses, and "crowns our days with kindness"—and tho' we perpetually slight thy favors, and return ingratitude for goodness, yet is not the stream of Mercy in the least diminished. Thou supplies us with every good our reason could require; yet, instigated by passion or lured by pleasure, our depraved hearts often demand gratifications inconsistent with real happiness, and gra-
ping at the shadow, too frequently lose the substance.
To thee only ought we ever ascribe the pleasures we receive from the scene of nature—from friendship or affection. Thou intusset into the hearts of others favorable sentiments, and disposes them to exercise kindness or beneficence towards us. While men of pride and arrogance conceive their own merits to be the foundation of all the respect or tenderness they experience from their fellow mortals, the humble and devout attribute such favors wholly to thee, "from whom cometh down every good gift." Eternal Power—let such a disposition never be mine—but if ever I should ascribe to my own merits or exertions either peace or prosperity, teach me humility—teach me that the highest enjoyment that earth can bestow, it is thine "either to give or take away."
LIVERPOOL, September 14.
The Privy Council have issued orders prohibiting the importation of the produce of the British colonies or territories, either for exportation or home consumption, otherwise than directly from thence, with some exception with respect to cotton wool. Other produce, except the growth of the United States, can only be imported from thence for exportation.
September 16.
On Tuesday last this town was visited by a calamity as singularly awful in its appearance as it was disastrous and destructive in its effects.—About ten o'clock in the evening, a smoke was observed to issue from a room in the warehouse belonging to Thos. France, esq. at Goree, whose spacious and lofty front has long attracted the admiration of strangers, and which, if equalled, was not surpassed in magnitude by any similar structure in the kingdom. The alarm of fire was rapidly spread through the town, and an immense crowd were soon assembled, where the danger had been first discovered. For a time appearances seemed to justify a hope that the tremendous mischief which had been announced and apprehended might be subdued without much effort—but no sooner were the doors and windows of the building forced, than the flames, which had been smothered, burst out with horrid fury, extending their ravages in every direction, with equal rapidity and violence. In a few hours this immense pile, together with that large and commodious range of warehouses, which was erected in front, at the distance of 16 yards, as well as that which extends from it, in a line, to Water Street, was a heap of ruins, and a great proportion of all that rich and various produce, with which every apartment of these buildings had been stored and crowded, was consumed. The mildness of the evening, and the tide, accompanied with light and variable breezes, being fortunately at flood, gave an opportunity to remove the shipping beyond the reach of the flames, and so prevented the devastation which was spreading on the shore from being aggravated by a scene of confusion and ruin, which the imagination even shudders to contemplate.
The solemn grandeur! the majestic horror of the scene no tongue, no pencil can describe. Through a great part of the immense crowd that was assembled, scarcely a whisper disturbed the awful stillness that prevailed; and without an effort to resist the devouring evil, it was left for a while to act its dreadful part alone, every eye being fixed on the tremendous spectacle, and every countenance marked with emotions of profound astonishment or of silent despair. Of the immense property which has perished, no adequate estimate can yet be given—but under the disasters of a night, which will long be remembered and deplored, one consolation remains, that we have not to lament the loss of a single life.
Amidst the deep concern every individual must have felt at the calamitous event of Tuesday night, it must have afforded peculiar satisfaction to the proprietors of the Bootle Water Works, to have observed the beneficial effects produced from the abundance of water which their springs yielded in arresting the dreadful conflagration—how greatly to be desired is the completion of those immense reservoirs now constructing in the company's yard (Vauxhall Road) which from their height would have commanded those towering ware houses that were destroyed, without even the assistance of an engine. We are happy to learn, that in a very few weeks those receptacles (which are formed to contain upwards of two thousand tons of water) will be finished. The inhabitants of this vast and opulent town will no doubt patronize the undertaking.

October 29.
It is with regret, we have to mention the loss of the English schooner Experiment, Captain Hayward, from Antigua. On Tuesday night last, she was driven ashore at the Hook, and went to pieces. The captain unfortunately perished, through his great anxiety to preserve the vessel after she struck, the rest of the crew got safe on shore. The schooner had 40 hhds sugar, and some fruit which was entirely lost. It is said it belonged to captain Packwood, of this city and was address- ed to Messrs Saltus, Son and co.
ARRIVALS AT THIS PORT.
Arrived yesterday, from a three years voyage, the ship Hope, Capt. Ray, in 223 days from Canton, and 121 days from the Isle of France, where she put in to stop a leak, with a valuable cargo of Teas, Nankeens, Silks, China Ware and Rhubarb, a part of which is on freight, to the house of Messrs. Gouverneur & Kemble, of this city: the other part to the owners (Messrs. Dagget, Painter, Hillhouse, and Attwater) at New Ha- ven.
It will not, we presume, be uninter- esting to our nautical readers, to give a sketch of Capt. Ray's voyage, as he has traversed a part of the globe hitherto un- known to navigators. The Hope failed in '99, in company with the Congress frigate, and weathered the gale in which that vessel was so much shattered. The first place at which the Hope arrived after her departure from America, was Faulk- land's Islands, where she remained six months, and was successful in getting skins. From this place she proceeded to the Island of South Georgia, where she made a stop of three months, and then proceeded on her voyage, and attempted to get round Cape Horn, which attempt was abandoned, after beating 60 days. She then put into Port Desire, on the coast of Patagonia. From this place she went to the River La Plata, where she remained three months, and dried the skins which they had previously obtained. She proceeded round to New Holland, and touched at Port Jackson, and continued her route from that place to Canton, where her cargo was disposed of to good advan- tage. On the 22d of December, 1801, in the latitude of 25, 2 deg. South, and long. 166, 21, W. Captain Ray, dis- covered an ISLAND, about 7 leagues in length, which appeared to be well cover- ed with wood, but was not near enough to observe whether it was inhabited; and on the 26th of the same month, in lat. 5, deg. and 45 minutes N. and long. 163, 40, W. saw another ISLAND, about 4 leagues in length. Neither of these Islands appear on any map, or chart; and had Capt. Ray been in possession of good boats he would have gone on shore to make fur- ther discoveries.
Capt. Ray left at the Isle of France, the Good Friends, Cochran, of Philadel- phia; Fanny, of do. Patapsco, Reeve, of Baltimore; Martha Washington, Calder, of Gloucester; Ulysses, Muckford, of Salem; Commerce, West, of Gloucester; Perseverance, Delano, of Boston; brig Juno, of do. and the John of Salem.
Capt. Ray on his homeward passage, the 22d of Aug. stop at St. Helena, to take in water, where he was treated with
the greatest politeness and attention by the Governor, who gave him permission to get any thing he wanted. On the 6th of Sept. Capt. Ray stop at the Island of Ferdinand, to take in some wood, where he received similar treatment from the Governor of the place.
Capt. Ray spoke, July 18, off the Cape of Good Hope, a ship from Hamburg for the Isle of France.

Extract of a letter from a house in Liver- pool, dated 16th Sept.
"On the night of the 14th inst. we were spectators of a fire, which in cal- amitous consequences has out of London perhaps seldom been surpassed in this coun- try. The great warehouse of Mr. France, by much the largest in Liverpool, was about 10 o'clock discovered to be on fire; between this immense pile and George's Dock stood a large row of warehouses, the street between which, and the former was so confined, that the smoke damping down upon the firemen, it became impos- sible for them to work the engines. Be- tween 12 and 1 o'clock the flames burst out, and by a little after 3 the whole was demolished! The row of warehouses next the dock were in the mean time in flames, the effects of which, from the quantity of corn, cotton, sugar, rum, tallow, &c. which they contained, was dreadful in the extreme. The wind fortunately was from the west, which drove the fire from the dock, the shipping in which must other- wise have been inevitably consumed.— The damage is estimated to be from 500,000. to 700,000. and too proba- bly it will be nearer the latter than the former. The manner in which it was oc- casioned has not been ascertained; happily no lives were lost. The goods saved were inconsiderable, but nothing could be more orderly or creditable than the conduct of the populace."

Extract of a letter from a member of the legislature of New Jersey to the Editors of the Gazette of the United States.
TRENTON, October 28, 1802.
The legislature met in joint meeting this afternoon, every member being pre- sent. The votes were
For Governor, Richard Stockton, 26 Joseph Bloomfield, 26 For Senator, Aaron Ogden, 26 John Condit, 26
No choice being made, it was unani- mously agreed, that the joint meeting should rise. No day is at present thought of for another meeting; it must depend on circumstances.
We understand that a compromise has been offered by the republicans in the Le- gislature of New Jersey, but not acceded to by the democrats. It was proposed to elect Mr. Bloomfield to the Senate of the United States, and make Mr. Stockton Governor, Gaz. U. S.
Extract of a letter from St. Pierre's, Martinique, to a respectable gentleman in New-York.— "The French Garrison (in number about 1200) have arrived; and about two hours before our flag was struck they placed a guard on our arsenal and wharf, and seized every thing. The laws of 1789, and the people in various situa- tions and offices still continue: Every de- scription of people, however, seem alarmed at the present calm, and expect a violent storm. They have already began with the Americans; at present, there is a
kind of embargo, until they can fix the duties they have to pay; they seem very much exasperated against the Americans in general."
Those ladies, whose husbands bestow correction too freely, will be glad to hear a cure. At Barking, in Essex, whenever a fisherman beats his wife his neighbours empty a sack of chaff at the door.— The husband is next day so roasted, and asked by every one, "So you were thresh- ing last night, I see, by the chaff at your door," that he seldom recurs to the same means of admonition.— Lon.

PROPOSALS
For Publishing an AMERICAN EDITION OF BLACKSTONE'S COMMENTARIES With Notes of Reference to the CONSTITUTION and LAWS of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of the UNITED STATES , and of the COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA : With an appendix to each volume, containing tracts upon such subjects as appeared necessary to form a systematic view of the laws of Virginia as a member of the federal union.
BY ST. GEORGE TUCKER, Professor of law in the College of William and Mary, and one of the Judges of the General Court, in Virginia.
THE PROPOSED EDITION WILL CONTAIN
 I. An Introduction, or Preface.  II. Notes on such parts of the Commentaries as treat on subjects which relate to correlative powers, delegated by the constitution and laws of the federal government, or of the state of Virginia; showing in what instances the principles of the British constitution, the maxims of that government, the general customs, or common law of England, acts of the British parliament, and particular customs, or prescriptions, have been adopted or confirmed; altered or amended; or wholly changed and repealed, by local circumstances, political considerations, or the express provisions contained in our constitution and statute law.  III. To each volume of the Commentaries, there will be an appendix; into which will be introduced notes of a more considerable length, which cannot conveniently be inserted in the body of the work, and short tracts upon some subjects arising out of our own constitution and laws.  IV. The appendix to the first volume will contain, 1. A discourse on government; 2. An inquiry into the obligation and authority of the common law and statutes of England, in the United States respectively; and whether the same be the law of the federal government of the United States or not. 3. A view of the written law of the commonwealth of Virginia as partaking of the constitution and laws of the federal government, and treaties made thereby; as well as of its own particular constitution, and acts of its legislature; together with such acts of the parliament of Great Britain, as may be still supposed to have any force or obligation therein. 4. A view of the constitution of the United States; its relation and connection with the state constitutions; a brief examination of their respective powers; a short parallel between it and that of Great Britain; an examination of some of its defects; and a view of the amendments thereto proposed by the several state conventions; and of such as may still be proper to be taken into further consideration. 5. A short view of the constitution of Virginia; an examination of some of Mr. Jefferson's positions respecting it; some hints with regard to an amendment of it, &c. 6. Observations on the right of conscience and the freedom of the press, in the United States of America. 7. A view of the origin, progress, and present state of slavery in Virginia, with a plan for its gradual abolition. 8. View of the laws respecting glebes and churches in Virginia.  V. The appendix to the second volume will contain a short abstract of the land laws in Virginia, with a reference to such as are not to be found in any general code. 2. A discourse on the law of descents in Virginia. 3. An engraved cop- perplate table of descents according thereto. 4. A table showing the manner in which estates in parsonage shall be divided pursuant thereto. 5. A view of the laws respecting escheats and forfeitures, passed during the revolutionary war, and of the rights of foreigners to hold lands in Virginia. 6. A view of the laws respecting slaves as property. 7. A discourse on the subject of the laws restraining usury.  VI. The appendix to the third volume will contain a short view of the courts of the United States, and of the commonwealth of Virginia, with an abstract of the laws by which the practice therein is regulated; strictures on the trial by jury 
in Virginia under the existing laws, and plan for their amendment.
VII. The appendix to the fourth volume will contain an abstract of the criminal jurisdiction of the federal government, and of the commonwealth of Virginia: and a short discourse on treason.
VIII. The tracts mentioned in the fourth section—together with the Editor's preface and the Commentator's introduction, being all attached to the first volume of Blackstone; will in this edition, be divided into two parts—the preface and introductions; and the five tracts first mentioned in the fourth section, will be attached to the first part, and the other three tracts mentioned in the same section, will make the appendix to the second part.
THE notes dispersed thro'out the work will amount to 14 or fifteen hundred. Those which refer to the constitution and laws of the United States are very numerous.
CONDITIONS.
 I. That the work be printed with a new type on superfine paper, and in five very large octavo volumes; and be bound in neat law binding.  II. That it shall go to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be obtained to make it prudent—and from the time of going to press be published in one year.  III. That the price of the whole, complete and bound, shall be twenty dollars, payable on delivery. 
ADDRESS BY THE PUBLISHERS.
IT is presumed, a little consideration will make it obvious, that a work so extensive, and which will employ a large capital, cannot be put to press until a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to make it prudent:—The Publishers do not recollect that any book of the same amount, has been printed in the United States, without either a part of the purchase money being required in advance, or returns made as it proceeded, by delivering the volumes as they were printed—In the present case, the whole work will be finished and completely bound before any payment is made.
It is earnestly requested, that the gentlemen who intend subscribing, will forward their names, as soon as possible, either by letter (post paid) to the Publishers in Philadelphia, or through the medium of book sellers in the neighboring towns. The post masters will also be furnished with a subscription paper, and it is presumed they will forward any names that may offer; as a remuneration, and to induce gentlemen to give it a little attention, whoever procures nine subscribers shall be entitled to a tenth copy, but it is to be explicitly understood, that the person who receives a copy for procuring subscribers, must be answerable for the payment of all the gentlemen who sign his list. The Publishers demand nothing but on delivery of the books, complete; therefore, determined not to leave a single set, without at that time, receiving payment for it.
Gentlemen who forward names to the Publishers, are requested to mention where the books are to be sent, and if possible, to make the place of delivery some considerable and well-known town. Subscription papers will be found in the hands of Mr. Prichard and Mr. S. Pleasants, in Richmond; Messrs. Ross and Douglass, Peterburgh; Mr. E. Merick, Norfolk; Mr. R. Greenhow, Williamsburgh; Mr. Henderson, Fredericksburg; Mr. S. Bishop, Alexandria; Mr. J. Alburtis, Martinburgh; Mr. Bowen, Winchester; Mr. J. Gales, Raleigh, N. Carolina; Messrs. Baily and Walter, Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. J. Marsh, Georgetown, Potomac; Messrs. Rapin & Co. Washington City; Messrs. G. Hill, and Conrad, & Co. Baltimore, &c. &c.
The Publishers have only to add, that they believe it will be found to be considerably the lowest priced law book, for a similar extent, and including a copy-right purchase, that has appeared for many years either in America or Europe.

October 12. A. WILLIS.
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 Leesburgh 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 Plaster 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 Plaster 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, though small is extremely valuable. It lies on Potomac river, about 12 miles above the town of Bath (or Warm Spring) and 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 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 Keokuk 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.
