Five hundred acres of LAND , in
the County of Alexandria, and five and a half
miles from Alexandria and two from Georgetown,
one moiety in Wood and part of that heavily tim-
bereed. It abounds in excellent water, and hath
an extensive view of the neighborhood—from its
proximity to the City, Georgetown and Alexan-
dria, with the additional convenience of an abund-
ance of wood, few farms within the District
claim a pre-eminence. Upon the First Monday
in October , I shall attend on the premises for the
purpose of disposing of it, if not sold previous to
that time. Should it be more accommodating to
those (who with a country residence during the
stinky months,) I will divide it into ten and
twenty acre LOTS . Any person wishing to
view the Land, by an application to WILLIAM
SNELLUM , who lives on it may be gratified.
My remoteness and the frequent depredation, on
the Wood and Timber, are the principal induce-
ments to sell it, not more than one-fifth of the
purchase money will be required, and a credit
from two to three years will be given for the re-
sidue, security by a mortgage, and a forfeiture
of the advanced monies, with interest on the
sum unpaid, if not punctually and fully dis-

NEW YORK, September 9.
The ship Oliver Elsworth, captain Ben- nett, arrived last evening from Liverpool, we have received London papers to the 25th July inclusive.
The Star of that date announces the ar- rival of Mr. Munro from Madrid. The news of peace being concluded between this country and Tripoli is confirmed by intelligence received at Paris and Lon- don, but the terms of it are still unknown. The French gun boats and praams have lately been very active, and notwithstanding the vigilance of the British cruisers, several divisions from Dunkirk, &c. have succeeded in getting into Bologne. Admiral Cornwallis, in consequence of the intelligence received by the Curieux, has recalled a squadron sent to strength- en the Ferrol station, and extended his fleet from Ushant to Cape Finisterre, in expectation of intercepting the com- bined fleets on their return from the West Indies, leaving only a few vessels to watch the motions of the Brest fleet.— New disturbances have broken out in E- gypt.
LONDON, July 18.
A king's messenger, with dispatches for General Sir Eyre Coote, K. B. arrived at Cork on Friday last from London. It was expected that the General would immedi- ately embark for Jamaica. Four regiments of infantry, it was understood, would ac- company him.
The 89th, 93d, 8th, 83d. The trans- ports at Cove, not employed in this embark- ation, were to return to Portsmouth.— The 24th regiment was to disembark, and to do duty at Mindleton.
The American ship Washington from Montevideo to London has been taken and carried into Jersey by the Vulture priva- teer.
July 22.
The French and Spanish force in the harbor of Ferrol, is now ascertained to a- mount to thirteen sail of the line, besides frigates.
It was supposed they would put to sea the first opportunity, and run for Corrunna Bay, in order to give our squadron, con- sisting of ten sail of the line, cruising off there, the slip.
July 23.
Hourschid Pacha, Governor of Egypt, has informed the Porte, that the Chief of the Arnauts, Seid Mehemet Ali, has refus- ed obedience to him and to the Porte, on account of the arrears of pay, and has actu- ally headed the troops under his command against that general and the Turks, in con- sequence of which he, being the weakest was compelled to seek shelter with his troops in the Castle of Cairo, where he continued when he sent the advice; also, that Elish Bey had advanced against Alex- andria, with a considerable corps assembled at Rosetta with an intention of making himself master of that place; he therefore repeatedly and very urgently prayed for a reinforcement, and reiterated the reasons often alleged, that the greatest detriment and possibly the loss of Egypt might result from it if the Arabs were not soon paid and dismissed.
On receipt of this intelligence, the Grand Seigneur immediately summoned a Divan, and the new captain Pacha has received orders to sail for Egypt without delay, with the troops and ships that were then ready, to succor Hourschid Pacha; with the assurance that a more considerable re- inforcement would follow.
July 24.
It is reported that the troops which went out with general Craig have been landed at Malta.
General Craig, who is vested with a dis- cretionary command in the Mediterranean, remained behind at Gibraltar, but meant to follow the troops in a few days.
We have received Paris Journals to the 16th and Dutch to the 19th inst. inclusive. They announce that admiral De Winter has hoisted his flag on board the Herstelle, in the Texel; that Bonaparte had arrived at Fontainbleau on the 12th; that M. Luc- chesini has reached Paris; that M. Hata- rive has received the reward of all his civic labors in the Moniteur, by being appointed a counsellor of state; and that the Ameri- cans have made a convention with the bey of Tripoli.
July 25.
Mr. Munro, the American minister, has arrived at Blake's hotel, Germyn-street, from Madrid.
A vessel arrived yesterday from Malta: soon after it was known a report prevailed in the city, that lord Nelson's fleet had ar- rived off Cadiz, having missed the com- bined fleet. This intelligence received lit- tle or no credit.
PLYMOUTH, July 21.
Letters received from the Channel fleet, dated the 17th inst. state that they were all well at that date, and that Cornwallis had made, as mentioned in yesterday's paper, a masterly disposition of the fleet. Direct- ly on his receiving an account of the arri- val of the Curieux's intelligence this day fortnight at this port, Cornwallis' fleet, leaving a squadron of observation off Brest, was extended from Ushant to Cape Finis- tre, and if the enemy's fleet were seen in in lat. 47, long. 18, W. as described, great hopes may be entertained of their being caught in a trap.
DOVER, July 22.
It appears that the enemy's flotilla from Boulogne attacked ours, in this last action, contrary to usual practice, on purpose to facilitate the passage of their Dunkirk di- vision; the praams kept up a well directed fire, and are more formidable than we were led to believe; a great deal of the advan- tage of their force consists, however, in their being able by the length of their guns, to throw shot further than our gun- brigs, and which, owing to the heavy fire of their batteries, ought not by any means to go in close; and this advantage would be in a great measure lost, if they would come out into deep water, when our brigs and sloops of war have only short guns, which, tho' heavy metal, cannot throw shot a long way. The Boulogne flotilla is however by their numbers, and having se- veral of the praams and heavy gun-brigs, very formidable, their metal being of very large calibre being mostly Dutch brass guns, from 18 to 24 and 34 pounders, very long; and when they get close enough, they put three shot in a gun, and exercise their men very frequently in working them, and use every endeavor to prepare them for some grand attack: in the mean time we are not idle, our fortifications at the heights go on, and cannon are mounted, and the troops constantly exercised.
VIENNA, July 3.
All the regiments have received orders to be in readiness to march. The two re- giments of Transylvania are already gone, and have carried with them their recruits, whom they had not time to clothe. The artillery, which is at Budweis, is to be con- veyed in waggons, to Inner Austria, whi- ther great quantities of ammunition have been sent. Besides the troops in Italy, two large camps will be formed near Pet- tau in Styria, and near Warradin.
Count Cobentzel is extremely ill. The archduke Rainier has been appointed mi- nister of the interior. It is reported that foreign troops are about to enter the Wal- teline and the Pays de Vaud."

The supercargo of the ship Serpent, handed captain Webb, the following, with a request to have it published on his arrival at this place.
"That the ship Serpent, capt. Hayes, and the schooner Suwarrow, capt. Frost, both from Baltimore, bound to Martinique, and Guadalupe, were captured on the 27th ult. on their way to Guadalupe, by the British sloop of war Hippomenes, E. Wool- comb, under the lee of Dominico, and off the town of Roseau, and after putting a prize master and mariners on board, or- dered them for St. John's, (Ant.) where they arrived on the 30th ult. Their trial came on the 11th of August, the schooner and cargo were condemned, only Mr. Ba- con's part of the ship's cargo was condem- ned, the remainder, together with the ship was liberated, the plea for condemnation is, that no British subject, although he may have lived 30 years in America, and be entitled to all the privileges of an Am- erican citizen, if he be found trading and supplying the enemies of the British crown with provisions &c. his property in that case is a good and lawful prize, for they say that no British born subject is allowed to throw off his allegiance to the crown of G. Britain; and all British subjects, tho' Am- erican citizens, that are found trading with the enemies of England, their property will be condemned to all intents and purposes."

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated the 25th ult.
"The fear of the British capturing vessels bound from the out ports of this island, and, has in a great measure subsided, as we have not heard of any lately.
"A large Spanish letter of marque mounting, 18 guns, 12 twelve pounders from Monte Vied, in S. America, loaded with tallow, junk, beef, candles &c. fell in with an English sloop of war, within a few leagues of this port—an engagement took place, and after an hour and an half hard fighting, the Englishman sheered off. This happened in the afternoon of Friday last, in the course of the night following the sloop of war accompanied by a privateer came up with the ship again: consequently another engagement ensued and after an obstinate combat for a considerable time, both the sloop of war and privateer again sheered off.
"This is the Spanish captain's account; and is partly confirmed by the report of the captain of an American vessel, who was so near them as to be obliged to alter his course to get out of reach of the balls. The Spaniards had one hundred men, two of whom were killed and seven wounded."
The following information was received from Captain Gage, of the schooner Sea-Flower, from Havana, arrived at New-York.
The schooner Caroline, of Charleston, John L. Cranston, master, laden with a cargo of rum from Jamaica, bound to Charleston, the property of Mr. Andrew Kerr, merchant there, was captured off the west end of Cuba the 15th Ju- ly, by a French Felucca privateer called the Va- lante, one Paul, commander, who took said ves- sel into a small bay near Cape Antonio, took the rum out, put it on board of another American vessel (the schooner Mary, of Cramden, N. C. which was captured by the felucca, and is made use of by privateersmen as a store ship for their plunder) and they have armed the schooner Ca- roline, and is now cruising in her against the American commerce, and has actually taken with him the schooner Sea-Horse, of Charleston, S. C. Valk, master, from La Guira, with a cargo of 20,000 dollars. The crews of said vessels were treated with great inhumanity and barbarity by said pirates, and after suffering much misery in travelling from the west end of the island where they were landed by the privateersmen, Capt. Cranston and Valk arrived at Havana a few days before Captain Gage failed.
Complaints of this piracy had been made by the parties to government, but it does not seem disposed to take any effective measures to bring to justice these marauders, who shelter themselves within the government, or to bestow the proper- ty of the sufferers.
By Captain Grofs we have received Paris pa- pers to the 10th, and Bourdeaux papers to the 15th July. In these papers we perceive but few articles worth extracting, which are in this day's paper. We noted that they contained an authen- tic account of the capture of Jamaica by the com- bined fleet, but this (as wits of Boston say of "Norfolk news") is French news. Peace ap- pears to be a desirable object in France, as we judge from the editorial speculations on that sub- ject indeed; some affirm positively that peace is very near at hand. These papers do not men- tion the death of Talleyrand, and as our files are regular that intelligence must be premature. [Norfolk Ledger.]
Captain Taylor informs us that a great number of vessels have been recently car- ried into Barracoa—among them the brig Jane of Baltimore, and a schooner belong- ing to the same place, both with valuable cargoes from St. Domingo. The Jane was captured after a very hard-fought ac- tion, in which the commander, capt. Ken- nedy, his mate, and 15 men, were killed, and 9 wounded; the Frenchmen had 25 killed and wounded. The gunner and se- veral of the men are passengers in the Lear. The schooner Martha and Mary, Ford, of Baltimore, had been taken by a Spanish privateer, which followed her out of the port, and carried into a small port adjacent, where she was plundered; but was afterwards released, and had sailed for St. Jago de Cuba. Left no vessels belong- ing to this port. Capt. Taylor was board- ed on the passage by the British govern- ment schooner Experiment. [Charleston Times.]
August 24, off Havana, capt. Johnson was boarded by the British sloop of war Tweezer; and the same time spoke brig Swift, capt. Burr, 25 days from Kingston, bound to New York, in distress, the mate having broke both his legs, and in want of water. Capt. J. supplied them with one cask; and the captain of the Tweezer sent his Doctor on board, and rendered them e-

very assistance in his power. She went into Havana. The day before, the Tweed had detained a new brig from Boston bound to Havana, on suspicion of her being Spanish property. August 27, lat. 27. long. 84. 30. Sallie, Clinton, two days from New York, for New York.  Captain Davis spoke, on the 12th August, lat. 34. 9. long. 65, brig Canton, John Walker, of New Bedford, from Norfolk, 13 days out. Left at Boston, ship Three Sisters, Clark, of this port, repairing; brig Abigail, of Savannah, unloading.  (Ibid.)
By a gentleman from Chester county, Pennsylvania, we learn, that on the morning of the 28th ult. a tremendous fall of rain took place in the upper end of that and adjacent parts of Lancaster county, such is the oldest inhabitants of the neighborhood never before experienced. Our informant states, that for some time it appeared as though the sluices of the great deep were broken up; that the water descended in torrents, swelling the rivulets and larger streams to an enormous height, and rolling impetuously down the hills, swept with resistless fury all that opposed its progress in the vallies below, bearing down fences and enclosures, as well as mill-dams of every description, and some buildings; among the latter are mentioned one forge and one coal-house totally washed down, another forge nearly washed down, and two more much injured; one saw-mill carried off, and two others materially damaged and removed from their foundations; one valuable flour-mill and one nail factory (the former built of stone) completely torn to pieces, and almost entirely washed away; and three valuable bridges, two of them on stone piers, swept off; together with sixteen valuable mill and fore dams, entirely levelled to their foundations, all within a distance of about fifteen miles, principally on the Brandywine, and the smaller streams emptying thereinto. One or two families were obliged to fly for their lives, leaving their houses and furniture to the mercy of the furious elements; fortunately no lives were lost. The destruction of fences, our informant adds, is almost inconceivable; the best idea he can furnish on the subject is, that on the meadows of one person nearly thirty thousand rails are deposited.
Considerable damage has also been done on the Octoraro Creek, in Lancaster county, as well as on the streams composing Elk River in Maryland; particulars not ascertained.  On the Brandywine, which presented such a scene as the neighboring inhabitants had never before witnessed, the water in less than eight hours rose twenty feet perpendicular.
Several letters have been received in town corroborating the above account, one of which says, that this was absolutely unequalled in the annals of American floods.  (Baltimore Evening Post.)
POLITICAL ESSAYS
On the essential and distinctive qualities of Democracies and Republics, with reference to the Constitution of the United States.
FROM THE BALTIMORE REPUBLICAN, OR ANTI-DEMOCRAT.
ESSAY XII.
The constitution contains the fundamental laws of the state. It is "a pledge and surety, given to all men and to all nations, that these fundamental laws will be religiously observed. God himself is bound by promises and oaths! and shall not the people be bound by oaths & engagements, into which they have freely and voluntarily entered? Shall they dare to exercise the reserved sovereign power for purposes other than changing, altering, or annulling, their constitutions.
It is declared in this instrument that it belongs only to a certain description of the people, to elect a definite number of men, of a particular age, as members of the house of representatives of congress: that to the same description of the people it belongs to elect a few persons, who alone may elect the senators of congress: that to the same description of the people or to persons elected by them, it belongs to elect a few men, who shall elect the president: that to the president and senate only, belongs the power of entering into treaties with foreign nations, of appointing the great officers of state, ministers, generals, and judges: that to congress belongs the power of declaring war, and making peace: that to the congress belongs the power of
making laws, to the president the power of executing them, and to the judiciary the power of expounding them: that before any alteration can be made in the constitution, two thirds of both houses of congress must deem them necessary, and propose them: or two thirds of the legislatures of the several states must apply to congress to call a convention for proposing amendments; and after amendments are proposed, and before they can become a part of the constitution, they must be ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other shall be ordered by congress.
In none of these cases can the people act, "in their original sovereign, and unlimited capacity." (43) In none of these cases do the people possess the supreme power of the state.
Under what circumstances then may this supreme power, which the people never part with, be called into activity?
When congress shall transgress the bounds assigned to it, by passing acts incompatible with the constitution, whereby the liberties and welfare of the community shall be manifestly endangered, and the ends of the government perverted (44); when the judges, these acts being discussed before them, will not venture to withhold from them the sanction of judicial authority; when the president will not dare to refuse, or when he concurs to carry them into effect; when the people by the exercise of their elective rights, cannot displace, every second year in one branch, every sixth year in the other branch of the legislature, and every fourth year in the executive, those who act inconsistent with their duty; when all those modes of redress shall have proved ineffectual, then may the people resort to their "reserved uncontroolable power," for then they stand absolved from their oaths and engagements; then they may assume into their own hands the alteration of the constitution; then "they may revoke the lease, the conditions being broken by the tenant," (45); then, and not before may this mighty power, high above all height, caput inter nubila , be called into action, and perform its revolutionary functions .
Thus we see the supreme power which the people never part with, is a distinct thing from the supreme power of the state.
Locke, from whose political writings some of our most celebrated statesmen have derived their opinions, relative to government, and whose principles of government, in consequence, have entered into several constitutions, makes the same distinction between the supreme power of the state and the supreme power which resides in the people.
"The legislature (he observes) is the supreme power of the commonwealth, sacred and unalterable where the community has once placed it; nor can any edict of any body else, in what form soever conceived, or by what power soever backed, have the force or obligation of law, which has not its sanction from that legislature, which the people has chosen and appointed; for without this the law could not have that which is absolutely necessary to its being a law, the consent of the society, over whom nobody can have power to make laws, but by their own consent, and by authority derived from them. And therefore all the obedience, which, by the most solemn ties, any one can be obliged to pay, ultimately terminates in this supreme power, and is directed by those laws which enact: nor can any oath to any foreign power whatsoever, nor any domestic subordinate power, discharge any member of the society from his obedience to the legislature, acting pursuant to their trust; nor oblige him to any obedience contrary to the laws so enacted, or further than they do allow; it being ridiculous to imagine any one is tied, ultimately, to obey any power in the society which is not supreme." (46)
Again; "though in a constituted commonwealth, standing upon its own basis, and acting accordingly to its own nature, that is, acting for the preservation of the community, there can be but one supreme power, which is the legislative, to which all the rest are, and must be, subordinate, yet the legislative being only a fiduciary power, to act for certain ends, there remains still in the people a supreme power to remove or alter the legislative, when they find the legislature act contrary to the trust reposed
 (43) Judge Patterson, as above quoted.  (44) Constitution of Maryland.  (45) Judge Wilson, Deb. Penn. Con. p. 53.  (46) Locke; of civil Government, chap. ix. The supreme power, or sovereignty, is lodged in the legislative, executive, and judiciary establishments. Arist. Pol. b. vi. 
in them. For all power given with trust for the obtaining an end, being limited by that end, whenever that end is manifestly neglected or opposed, the trust must necessarily be forfeited, and the power devolve into the hands of those that gave it; who may place it anew, where they shall think best for their safety and security.
And thus the community perpetually retains a supreme power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any body, even of their legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked as to lay and carry on designs against the liberties and properties of the subject. For no man, or society of men have a power to deliver up their preservation, or consequently the means of it, to the absolute will and arbitrary dominion of another. Whenever any one shall go about to bring them into such a slavish condition, they will always have a right to preserve what they have not a right to part with, and to rid themselves of those who invade this fundamental, sacred, and unalterable law of self preservation, for which they entered into society. And thus the community may be said, in this respect, to be always the supreme power, but not as considered under any form of government, because this power of the people can never take place until the government be dissolved." (47)
The conclusion from the whole, is, the SUPREME POWER which resides in the people, is a DISTINCT and DIFFERENT THING from the SUPREME POWER of the state.
Would it be possible to change this arrangement for a better? In what other government shall we find the nature, extent, and quality of every man's rights so well defined and fixed? can any thing (the practice conforming with the theory of the constitution) be better calculated to preserve to the community, union, stability, peace, order and safety? can any thing be better conceived than this harmonious assemblage of different elements! this beautiful subordination of parts! this scale of rights, ascending from the elective to the legislative, executive, and judicial; each separate yet connected, each bounded yet complete, the whole forming a perfect system, surrounded by the supreme power residing in the people, which, like the atmosphere of the earth, keeps, by its weight and influence, the several parts and powers of this wonderful work in their respective places? Who will dare to destroy this commonwealth, by a new arrangement of its parts, or a different distribution of its powers? Admirable fabric! long may it be preserved from the sacrilegious hands of demagogues and innovators! Long may it remain the eulogium of its Architects! The pride of a happy and a flourishing people!

The mate of the schooner Harmony, arrived yesterday from Barbadoes, via St. Bartholomews, informs that while they lay at St. Bartholomews, he saw a letter from Curacoa, containing information "that the British had evacuated that Island five weeks before."
Capt. Roberts of the Harmony, informs that just as he left Barbadoes, a seventy four gun ship arrived, supposed to be direct from England, and immediately after her coming too, there was a general firing from the forts and shipping—he supposes she must have brought news of importance.

LAND TO RENT.
The subscriber offers to RENT, for one or more
VERY valuable FARM , containing about 800 acres; at present occupied by Mr. Daniel Dye . It lies on Bull Run , in the county of Prince-William , near to Centreville , about 20 miles to Dumfries , 25 to Alexandria , and about the same distance to Washington City and George-Town . The land is of the first quality, if not superior to any, on that run, well adapted to the growth of every kind of grain, it is divided into three fields of about 200 acres each—those fields, when in pastures, produce white clover in the greatest abundance, the growth luxuriant and equal to any pastures below the Blue-Ridge —a large quantity of meadow ground of the best quality binding on the run, which might be prepared with very little labour, and a sufficient quantity of wood-land, for keeping in repair the necessary fencing, the buildings, except a barn, are indifferent; yet the central situation of this farm (in a healthy part of the country) to those capital towns, the fertility of its soil, the great advantages that may be derived from such a farm, render it an object worth the attention of any industrious farmer.
The premises will be shown by Spencer Ball Esquire , near thereto, or the tenants thereon, and the terms made known by applying to Robert Mitchell.
