The following Vision, altho' seen on the other side of the Atlantic, may, nevertheless prove consolatory to the ancient Tories on this, and serve in some measure to mitigate these horrors of a future existence which induce them "on earth to prefer three brats at a birth than in hell to be leaders of apes."
AN OLD MAID'S DREAM.
To the Editor of the Scots Magazine .
Sir, I am one of these antiquated and helpless animals commonly called an Old Maid. Before entering on my dream, it may be necessary to give you the outlines of my history, which I shall do very briefly.
I am descended of a respectable family, and being the name daughter and favorite of an old maiden aunt, at her decease she left me her whole property, amounting to 12,000l. This, with a tolerable share of personal and mental accomplishments, soon brought a crowd of admirers about me, and at the age of eighteen I was the toast of the town.
The first who paid his addresses to me was Esculapius Clysterpipes, a physician, who had scraped together some money in the West Indies. Things went on swimmingly till the marriage contract came to be drawn out, and other preliminaries adjusted. I had frequently heard him throw hints respecting my 12,000l. and tho' it was now high time to inform him, I was only possessed of 2000l. having shared my legacy equally with my other sisters. He seemed thunderstruck at the intelligence, but recovered himself so far as to tell me he would call on me to-morrow, but that morrow has not yet arrived, though sixty years have intervened.
My next suiter was Timothy Rackrent, a neighboring heritor, whose estate was deeply mortgaged, and which he hoped to redeem by espousing my 12,000l. To make a long tale short, he split on the same rock Esculapius had done, and so there was an end to the matter.
My third and last wooer was Boanerges Blunderbuss, an officer of marines. He was the most furious and ardent of all my lovers, and had I not consented almost at first sight to become his bone and his flesh, I verily believe he would have carried the citadel by storm. Matters having come to this length, I thought myself justified in acquainting him with the extent of my fortune, on which he started up, and exclaimed, "Egad, madam, you have ruined me; 2,000l. won't do my business, but I have as much in my pocket as will do." Having ended this exclamation, he left me with the greatest sang froid imaginable and walking into an adjoining field, very deliberately blew his brains out. The cause of this catastrophe was not long a mystery, for the very next week Mordecai cent. per cent. came down from London with a bond of the captain's for 10,000l. and was very much mortified that the marriage had that the marriage had not taken place. He was obliged, however, to content himself with the effects of the deceased, which consisted of his regimental suit, an old sword, two shirts, a pair of velve breeches jammed, & an old big coat which had been twice turned, with some other minutiae too trifling to deserve notice.
Having had such a flagrant and repeated proof, of the perfidy of mankind, I now seriously resolved to die a maid. I am long since proof against the inuendos of mankind, and when asked if I recollect the mirk-Monday, the windy Saturday, the battle of the Boyne, &c. &c. it does not give me the smallest uneasiness.
The only thing which has ruffled my temper these forty years was a distant relation of mine, who told me a week ago, "I would lead apes in hell." Though this sarcasm has been cast in my teeth an hundred times before, I do not recollect that ever it made so deep an impression, and on my falling asleep, in all probability it occasioned the following dream:
Methought I was transported to the infernal regions, and sadly ferrayed over the river Styx. On the other side, a scoundrel looking fellow, very like a messenger at arms, took me into his custody, and conducted me to the tribunal of Rhadamanthus. The good old gentleman questioned me very particularly, how I had spent my time in the world, and was so well satisfied with the candour and fidelity of my answers, that he ordered the keeper of Erebus to conduct me to Elysium. We had proceeded only a few steps, when Rhadamanthus called me back, and questioned me whether I had any lovers in the world as I had not had a husband. I here told him the particulars of Clysterpipes, Rack-
rent, and Blunderbuss, as before narrated. —Very well, madam, says he, you must lead apes in hell. I was so thunderstruck at these words, that I was ready to drop down, when the keeper put his arm under mine, half dragged, and half carried me out of the court; and in a few minutes brought me to a large building with an iron door, very much resembling a prison. He went in, and returned immediately, with an iron chain in his hand, which he made me take hold of, and bade me move briskly forward. I began my march as directed, but wishing much to see what kind of apes hell produced, I peeped over my shoulder in order to satisfy my curiosity. But, Oh! Mr. Editor, what was my surprise, when I found I got my three quondam sweethearts in tow. The chain which I had in my hand was twenty feet long, and towards the farther extremity divided into three distinct chains, with each a hook annexed to it. These three hooks were fixed through the three noses of the gentlemen aforesaid. I could not but reflect on the droll figure they made. Clysterpipes had a set of surgical instruments in one hand, and a necessary utensil full of medicines in the other. Rackrent had in his right hand a receipt for making tenants subsist on yams and pease straw; and in his left, an empty purse as large and long as the pantaloon of a Hessian hussar. Blunderbuss had on one shoulder a bomb-ketch, and the other a penny-worth of bread and onions, with a label on his breast, "I am my country's pride and defence, damn me." As my antipathies against this worthy triumvirate had long since subsided, I was going to condole with them on their unhappy situation. But no sooner did they recognize me, than all gave a sudden and involuntary spring backward, and I not having time or presence of mind to let go the chain, the noses of all three were torn in the most deplorable manner. The exquisite pain made them set up such a hideous roar, as alarmed all hell and I awoke in the utmost horror and perturbation.
It was a considerable time before I could believe myself to be an inhabitant of this world, but the return of day, and three different calls to breakfast at last convinced me. When I joined the family, breakfast was half over. The gentleman who had insulted me the day before, asked me what had detained me so long? I replied, I had been leading apes in hell. The company desired me to explain myself; when I told them my last night's dream. During the narration, foresaid the gentleman turned pale as death; but whether from compunction at his insolence to me the day before, or from fear of being led by the nose, by some injured female, in the world to come, I could not tell though I think the last most probable.
I would not have such another dream for all the apes on this, or the other side Styx. But terrible as it was, it has been productive of some advantage, in as much as it has explained the mysterious doctrine of ape leading, and given us to understand who the apes are. As it may be of importance to the whole antiquated sisterhood, to be acquainted with this fact, I request you will give my dream a place in your Magazine, and in return, I promise to exert my utmost influence, to keep the promontory of your face unmolested in the world to come.
I am, Sir, Yours, With the Profoundest esteem and respect, PENELOPE SKINTLINT.
Dianaburgh, Platonie-Court, 28 h January 1805.
From the Boston Repertory.
Since Mr. Jefferson's accession to the empire (for the Chronicle, perhaps to reconcile our ears to the sound, says, he has gained the empire of opinion ) the jacobins have taken pains to represent the federalists as an OPPOSITION. They wish to hide their own bad character and bad designs by cloaking all that they do, and that is said of their doing, under the old broad party mantle in England. The ins never are right in the opinion of the outs .
There is no resemblance between the two cases, and no truth in the representation. The tendency of jacobinism is to confusion, and through confusion to something more solid and compulsory than the empire of opinion . The actual possession of the offices of government does not change their character or retard the execution of their plans. It did not in France. On the contrary, to be in only enables them the surer and the sooner to have go-
vernment and constitution down , and their directory first, then their consul and emperor up . Thus it is, that the federalists are not a mere opposition, as the jacobins pretend, but the honest, able and satisfied classes of the society, who feel the want of protection, and who uphold the established government that they may have it. Let who will be in , they want law and right to prevail, and the jacobins, whose views are directed against society, and law, and rights, have a natural and unchangeable vehemence of desire to subvert all these, till their own will is the only law. This they have done in France, and now they are in here, they have the most sanguine hopes of effecting it in America. This is what the federalists are trying to hinder.
How much effect political truth has, I will not pretend to say. If it could be displayed with the sun's own splendor in June, till it not only enlightens but blisters every head, yet if it did not shine as if it were high noon from its rising to its setting at night, nay, if it should set at all, it did not shine all night, party would be blinder for its rays. None are so blind, says the proverb, as those who will not see.
Now if this were not the case, if the jacobins did not resist evidence because they have an interest in deception, it would be of some use to turn the principles and conduct of the federalists and jacobins to their respective sources, and to exhibit a concise view of their transactions while in power. This, however, would require too much labor, and command when done, too little attention to compensate the toil of so much thought and writing.
Yet we may just say, actions speak louder than words. Do the federalists in fact oppose your Jacobin government? when you would destroy the constitution under the name of amending it, when without even a cloak for the mischief, you would destroy the judiciary, the federalists did indeed oppose you. They ever will. But do they form an opposition when the proper business of government is to be done? — This you will say is a vague and indeterminate question. To bring it to a closer test, then, advert to the known conduct of an English opposition, once your model, because you habitually like any thing and anybody that embarrasses and hates an orderly government. The English opposition hangs heavily upon the skirts of a minister till he finds his strength exhausted, till the administration grows unmanageable in his hands, and the sovereign, in order to carry on the government is obliged to form a new ministry. The Foxes, and Greys and Burditts, oppose every measure till they bring affairs to a stand. Now has this been the course of the federalists? To raise taxes, to equip fleets to levy armies, are the odious works of any set of rulers. Do the federalists avow a hatred of these, do they hinder you in this unpopular work? No, on the contrary, they defer party clamor on these subjects, and constantly urge you to be bold in affording protection to our navigation, they oppose the repeal of taxes which you are by this time sorry for repealing. Is this then an opposition ?
If this be an opposition, it is certainly unlike Mr. Fox's; it is unlike your own from 1789 to 1801. The federalists had a paper constitution to set up and establish in practice. They had force, revenue, courts and laws, to provide. Every thing was to be created, and you, jacobins, obstructed their works as much as you could. You then endeavored to leave the government as it was when the Confederation was in force, and to have justice and revenue, and public credit and public debt, in the hands of the states. That is to say, you would have suspended the new constitution & gone on just as if it had never been adopted. Since you came into power, your plan has been to restore the old Confederation in practice and in effect, so that Virginia might not see a superior above, nor an equal near her, who would or could oppose her sovereign will.
This delineation of parties will be objected to as springing from the pride a federalist indulges towards his own party and his hatred for the other party.
But when has it happened in the world, that parties in a very free republic were ever any otherwise to be classed. In Greece, the mere rabble adhered to the Cleons and Jeffersons of that day, and they speedily subverted the public liberty. The Aristides, and Phocians and Washingtons of old were the federalists of Greece who foresaw, foretold and deplored the hastening ruin of the public liberty, but who were persecuted, banished, fined or slain for being aristocrats and enemies of the people. Things that happen so uniformly are not the product of intrigue or accident, but of the laws of human nature, which operate stea-
dily and ordain, and fate has sealed the decree, that the liberties of every free people are to be destroyed by their favorites and flatterers. Venit in elvetabile tempus.
FROM THE Boston Gazette .
As was foretold by the Federalists, the progress of democracy among us is marked by the same kind of circumstances which attended it in France a few years since. In the states of New-York and Pennsylvania, the sea is most tempestuous at present. It is scarcely eighteen months since the united strength of the Livingston and Clinton parties, was exerted in opposition to Col. Burr for Governor of New-York. Burr's partisans denounced the two families and their adherents as dangerous to liberty, and they denounced him and his friends as unprincipled office-keepers. Burr was defeated, and one of the Livingston family elected; and now the Clintons have found out that the Livingstons are rank tories and aristocrats. A violent warfare is carrying on between them — all intercourse has lost all its harmony — and many truths are told by them of each other. In Pennsylvania, Duane issues his denunciations and orders, just as his prototype Marat did. He has discovered that Dr. Logan, the self-appointed envoy, or rather the secret messenger of Mr. Jefferson, and A. J. Dallas, were both old tories; that one was in England, the other at Jamaica while we were fighting the battles of freedom; that governor McKean's conduct for thirty years has been distinguished by his violence; that his excellency is fond of his bottle; and that he with his whole party, have all along endeavored to pull down whomsoever stood in their way.
Duane has hitherto kept up appearances with Jefferson. But a late publication in the Aurora , leads us to believe it will soon be put to the test, whether somebody is not greater than 'the greatest man in America'. A Mr. William Davy has lately been appointed 'Purveyor of Indian Supplies' which is said to be a very lucrative office, and desired by a number of the 'Friends to the People.' Duane abuses this appointment, but seems loth just yet to break with Jefferson. We think however we can clearly perceive that the seeds of separation are sown between those, 'distinguished patriots,' Duane says. 'We have the most respectable authority to vouch for, that the appointment of Mr. Davy was made not by the President, but during his absence from the seat of government.' 'We have all along found our situation a delicate one, with regard to the executive magistrate.' Every man must know how liable the chief magistrate is to be imposed upon, if those in whom he confides for information in different parts of the States, sacrifice every principle of honor and confidence, to the gratification of their own private views; to the promotion of their local ambition — to the pulling down of all, who are not obedient; and to the promotion of all who are servile tools to their ambition. In the present instance, we have reason to believe that the secretary at war was imposed upon by the united forces of Mr. Dallas, Dr. Logan, aided by another gentleman who goes all lengths with Mr. Dallas.
This is the picture of the democrats drawn by one of themselves; we think it a just one; and we further predict that within a year, Duane will tell as many pretty stories about Mister Jefferson, as Callender did.
But we would ask what clause in the constitution gives a secretary at war, authority to fill so important an office, as 'Purveyor of Supplies,' an office which Duane assures us (and Duane knows the value of offices,) is worth more in Rino , than that of the President of the United States? For the present we shall leave this question to be settled between Duane, Dearborn and Jefferson. At another time we may make some further remarks upon the subject.

THOMAS BLACKBURN, jun. Rippon Lodge, August 7.

NORFOLK, August 16.
Yesterday arrived here from Batavano (a small port in Cuba) the ship Eliza, capt. Evans, of this port.
The capture, plunder, and detention of this ship and cargo, says a letter from a respectable character in Cuba, "will give you some idea of the abuses and impositions upon our trade in this island, which are beyond conception, and no person can have a just idea of them, without being here."
We have had the perusal of captain Evans's protest made before the American consul at Havanna, of which the following is a short sketch, and in which it will be seen that it is not the lawless depredations of pirates, that are complained of, but the acts of the officers of the Spanish government, from the chief to the lowest.
The Eliza was captured on the 27th February, in prosecution of a voyage from Jamaica, to this port, the captain and part of the crew were put on shore, upon an uninhabited island, from whence they got to Havanna, after experiencing many hardships, and being exposed to the danger of perishing for want of food. The ship and the remainder of the crew were taken into the above mentioned port of Batavano.
A few days after captain Evans got to Havanna he met the person who was put on board his ship as prize master; this person informed, that the master of the privateer, convinced that the ship could not be made a prize, had, to avoid prosecution, gone off; and that the ship was in possession of some Frenchmen and Spaniards. The prize-master, at the same time, gave up to captain Evans the ship's papers that were in his possession.
Upon this information, captain Evans presented a memorial to the captain-general of the Island, in which he stated his case, and prayed that he might have an order for the restitution of his vessel and cargo. To this memorial, no answer was given. In a few days after, capt. Evans presented another memorial to the captain-general, in which he recapitulated the subject of his former, and stated in addition, that the part of the crew which had been detained on board the ship, were confined as prisoners, and were suffering for necessaries; that the vessel and cargo were daily plundered, and the whole would in a short time be lost. To this memorial, no answer was given.
Upon this capt. Evans proceeded to Batavano, where he was fully informed of the sufferings of his people, and the depredations on the vessel and cargo. No sooner was the commandant of the place, informed that captain Evans was there, than he ordered him to leave the place instantly, without permitting him to see his people, or go on board his ship. As this order was backed with a threat of imprisonment, in case of disobedience, capt. Evans was obliged to return to Havanna, where he remained until the 20th of June; when by his own, and the unceasing efforts of Mr. Gray, the late, and Mr. Hill, the present Consul, he procured an order for the restitution of the vessel and cargo. When captain Evans got possession, he found one-third of the cargo (originally 180 puncheons of Rum,) had been plundered. The ship had been stripped of her boats, anchors, cables, and running rigging, with one half of her sails. In addition to all this, the master of the privateer had contracted a debt of about 900 dollars, which the commandant compelled captain Evans to satisfy, before he would permit him to depart. Many minor instances of the injudicious conduct of the officers of the Spanish government are omitted. Enough is said, to shew to the public, the conduct of the officers who were bound in duty and honor, to afford the rights of hospitality and protection.
We hope and believe, that a representation of this case will be made to our government, from whom alone, redress for this and similar aggressions can be expected. It furnishes matter of surprise, that the merchants of this place, have not pursued the same measure, as the merchants of Charleston, published in this day's Ledger.
Arrived, ship Eliza, Evans, 11 days from Batavano. British armed schooner Bellona, Wills, 14 days from Barbados. Cutter Bullfrog, Vickery, 12 days from Porto-Rico. Left there ship Polly, Launch, sent in as a prize, not tried; brig Hazard, New-York; brig Fame, of Norfolk, to sail in 14 days; schooner Experiment, Cotton, of Baltimore, to sail in ten days; sloop Lucy-Ann, Baltimore, arrived the day capt. Vickery sailed; schooner Two Brothers, Philadelphia, sailed for St. Thomas the same day.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability to his friend in this city, dated
N. ORLEANS, 8th July, 1805.
"On the 6th instant col. Butler met the court martial with his defence on the charge of not cropping his hair—I was present and very much pleased with the col's. dignity; he is truly a worthy old soldier. His reasoning appeared conclusive, that the order was not only illegal and unconstitutional, but unwise in its nature and operation. I have been an soldier myself and know something of martial law, and were I to hazard an opinion it would be that the court martial must acquit because the order is not a lawful 'command.' The col. in his defence bore hard on gen. Wilkinson, whose character unfortunately is not so fair that it will bear the test of critical examination. His weakness and vanity, his unlimited desire to appear great, and his very despotical treatment to many officers, places the army in a very unpleasant situation with such a head."

The following is the answer of Mr. Madison to the memorial and remonstrance of the South Carolina Insurance Company, relative to the violation of the laws of nations, by France, in capturing the ship Two Friends, and the predatory conduct of French privateers off Charleston bar.
Department of State, 10th July, 1805. SIR,
I have received your letter of the 22d ult. inclosing the memorial of the insurance company of which you are President, and of the merchants and others, interested in the commerce of Charleston.
Having been before made acquainted by the Collector of the customs, with the circumstances of the capture of the Two Friends, I lost no time in stating it to the French Minister, who has replied, that the communication made to him respecting this affair, by the commissary of his nation at Charleston, had enabled him to anticipate my desires, by requesting the captain general of the French colonies, to all of whom he had written respecting it to obtain satisfaction for this violation of the convention between France and the U. States.
The observations contained in the memorial respecting the local situation, and the protection necessary for the port of Charleston and the adjacent coast, have been weighed by the President and in connection with the other information, will promote such measures as the nature of his functions and the existing laws and public good, may be thought proper to admit.
I have the honor to be, sir, Very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, JAMES MADISON. Thos. Corbett, Esq.
The heads of departments, or, according to Mr. Duane, the departments without heads, are at last coming in review before the national tribunal; and the grand inquisitor at the head of the Aurora, seems disposed to deal as delicately with Mr. Jefferson as though he were disposed to contest with him, whether Mr. Duane or his excellency be "the greatest man of the people."
The following extract is taken from yesterday's Aurora:
"Whether the support of all Mr. Dallas's projects or the selection of all his minions was the object of the auspicious inauguration of 1801," or not, the public, will determine; it is evident Mr. Dallas considers it as the sole object—whether "his merit on the score of service in the recent conflict," was such as to entitle him to this public prostration of the official patronage of the state, and United States, the public will judge; this we know, it has shaken the republican confidence to the centre, and that the upright and disinterested part of the community, disgusted by his flagrant perversion of influence to the malice, the meanness, and the vanity of an individual, inflated to a height that has made him giddy, have had their confidence destroyed, and deemed themselves degraded and insulted.
"This is a plain language; and it is the language of truth ; which rarely penetrates the ear of authority from the mouths of courtiers, or from the tongues of men who sacrifice every interest that is not subservient to their private views of future aggrandizement ." (Fed. Gaz.)
The criminal court which has been sitting a bout six weeks, broke up to-day, after passing sentence on a great number of culprits. The notorious offender, Obadiah Williams, alias G. W. Randolph; alias John W. Thompson, was sentenced to death. ibid.
SAYING versus DOING.
"Let it be our endeavor as it is our interest and desire to cultivate the friendship of the belligerent nations, by every act of justice and innocent kindness; to merit the character of a just nation, and maintain that of an independent one, preferring every consequence, to insult and habitual wrongs." [Mr. Jefferson's message, Oct. 1803.]
What are these insults and wrongs to which any "consequence" is to be preferred? Are not our seamen daily impressed on board foreign vessels? Has not the national flag of our country been sent into a foreign port and degraded with the Union downwards ? Have not our vessels been hostily taken, carried into port and condemned? and are there not American seamen now in jail, as prisoners in Guadalupe—Has not one of the national gun boats been assaulted, taken and carried into a Spanish port? And has not one of the principal ports of the United States been blockaded by foreign shaving mills ? If all these can be answered in the affirmative, are they not ' insults and habitual wrongs '—and if so what are the "consequences" which have been risked to remedy them? And what has been done to maintain the character of an independent nation? Let the president at Monticello, or Mr. Madison answer.

AMUSING EXTRACT.—There is a very singular extract in Pliny, which I do not know where it has ever been tried by the moderns; it is in the 32d book and 5th chapter:
"Democraticus says, let the tongue of a living frog be extracted, without permitting a particle of its other flesh to adhere to it, then throw it into water; after a short time take it out, and lay it on the breast of a woman asleep, on the spot where the palpitation of her heart is perceptible; whatever questions you then propose to her, she will answer to you truly."—What an easy and admirable mode is this of discovering the thoughts and affections of the coy, the coquettish, and gallant female? Little do they know the power of this key, which infallibly unlocks all the amorous secrets contained in their breasts! I might have made a fortune by advertising this valuable recipe, which effectually cured the vagaries of the Grecian ladies 2000 years ago. The ladies will be obliged, to me I expect, for putting them on their guard.

The payments required will be one- third cash, and the balance in two annual instal- ments, to be secured by a mortgage on the land, and no deed will be made until the last payment is complied with. Any person wishing to pur- chase, may know the terms by applying to Mr. Thomas L. Page, living near the premises; who is fully authorised by me, to sell the whole or any part.

FOR SALE.
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- bered. 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 sickly 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 depredations 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- charged.

PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
T HESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine e- ver before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for re- storing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dy- senteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills.
THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be- speak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fe- vers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Colicwens, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genu- ine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disa- greeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Bilious Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their in- trinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrheas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.

CAROLINE MILLS FOR SALE.
W ILL be sold at public sale on the premises, on the 2d day of the 9th month, (September) next, a Merchant and com- try Mill, with 170 acres of land, on which are sufficient houses for the accommodation of millers and others; situate on the river Rappahannock, about two miles below the town of Port Royal, on a stream of water sufficient for three water wheels and four pair of stones, at almost all sea- sons of the year; is in the best wheat country perhaps in the state, where no competition can be dreaded, and is on tide water.
The Country Mill is nearly adjoin- ing the other, has one overshoot water wheel, and one pair of five feet Burr Stones, is surrounded by wealthy farmers, who have large families and it is known that the profits arising from this country Mill alone will more than pay the in- terest of the money, the whole is supposed to be worth, in short this whole property is thought by judges to be the most valuable of the kind in the state of Virginia, and is sold in consequence of the death of Aquila Janney, to enable the sub- scriber to close the concerns of the late partners- hip of Aquila and Elisha Janney.
Terms of sale will be one fourth in cash, or an approved negotiable note at sixty days; the balance in three equal payments, at six, nine and twelve months, bearing interest from the day of sale, and to be secured in such manner as may be determined on and made known at the time and place of sale.
