PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, devoid of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutiae of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2, 50 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores,
T. Longden.

We have been favored with the following copy of a letter from JOHN SMITH, to the Governor of Ohio, which we recommend to the notice of our readers.
WASHINGTON FED.
To his excellency Thomas Kirker, Esquire, Speaker of the Senate, and acting Governor of the state of Ohio.
SIR,
I take the liberty of hereby making known through you, a determination which I have long since formed, to resign my seat in the Senate of the United States. You will excuse my troubling you on this occasion, instead of the President of that honorable body. I prefer this course, though it may appear an unusual one, because I do not feel any obligation to conform to any of the ceremonies of retiring which are not agreeable to me, and because I wish to give my reasons for withdrawing from political life, and to give them with more freedom than might possibly be considered consistent with the courtly style, which might be required in an address to the senate.
I am the more anxious to avow my motives as I fear they may be misunderstood, and that such may be attributed to me as I would scorn to allow the least share of influence on my actions. It may be supposed that dissatisfied with the result of the late enquiry into my conduct, mortification and disappointment must have driven me from my seat in a body, of whose members a considerable portion, in point of numbers, have declared me unworthy of an association with them. This, Sir, is far from being the case. I never expected, ardent as were my hopes, to exterminate all prejudices, to remove all doubts—I could not expect to convince those who were determined never to change their opinions, or that those who wished to pronounce on my guilt, in a summary manner, without allowing me to exhibit any evidence of my innocence, would listen to that evidence when I produced it; I could only offer a luminous mass of proofs to the world, but I could not force open all eyes to behold it—That this result was, however, in some measure different from what I expected, I pretend not to deny—that nineteen men could be found in the senate of the United States to pronounce me guilty, I did not suppose possible, and I will frankly own, that when I saw it, though indignation was the predominant sentiment of my heart, yet it was in some degree mixed with other and more painful feelings—but, Sir, it was the weakness only of a moment—I had many sources of consolation to add to those which a proud consciousness of innocence afforded me. In the first place, I saw who were the advocates of this resolution, and who were its opponents, and though I will not say that I did not regret the censure of the former, (for I desire the good opinion of all the little as well as the great) yet the open and honorable approbation of the latter, extinguished every trace of such a feeling—I saw, what the nation will see, and what every man must acknowledge, who does not count senators, like cattle, by the head, that my right to my seat, and my character was established by as remarkable a preponderance of the talents, worth, and respectability of that house as ever distinguished one of its votes.
I also recollected that this proceeding was a public one, the proofs and principles on which it was conducted within my reach, and that it was within my power to exhibit them fairly and impartially, and claim an honorable acquittal from all who would do me the justice to read them—that if amenable to the laws of my country, as I certainly am if guilty, I might be called to appear before any of her tribunals, and welcome with exultation any investigation.
I have it also, Sir, in my power to answer a question which may be here very naturally asked—"How is it possible, (if it may be said) that nineteen senators could solemnly affirm the truth of an accusation without some testimony to warrant it?" I am not so uncharitable as to say that all or even many of those gentlemen really believed me innocent—nor will I say that all or perhaps even any of them are incapable of forming a correct opinion upon mere matter of fact. No, Sir, I do not thus so highly impeach either their hearts or heads—but I answer (and it is an answer which they will one day have to urge as their excuse for the injustice they have done me, that they have yielded perhaps without a struggle, to the control of the most obstinate prejudice—that they wished to believe me guilty, and believed what they wished. They are not the only men who have been thus seduced. What absurdities are not believed—what glaring truths denied—what violations of property committed when prejudice usurps the throne of the mind and assumes the dominion of reason? To prove the complete surrender of their faculties to these motives, I need only refer to the proceedings of the senate during their investigation of my conduct.
As I mean to detail these together with the discussion hereafter, I will now only ask to what but the most inveterate prejudice can the very first step taken by the committee be attributed, when on my application to their chairman to know whether I should be allowed to appear before
the committee, to hear my accusation and procure proofs in my behalf, a resolution is adopted forbidding any member to hold a private conversation with me on the subject? What but prejudice could have directed their answer to my subsequent demand of a hearing, when I am told that the committee "have no authority to hear me in my defence." When constituted for the purpose of enquiring into the truth of a charge, could reason tell them to confine their enquiry to the proofs against me, and to listen to no evidence in my favor? What but a partial and prejudiced report could be expected from an enquiry thus conducted? And when this report is examined, what can excuse the extraordinary principles and the gross mistakes (to speak most tenderly of it) which are contained in so labored a production? Passing over many circumstances of intemperate zeal and precipitation which attended the whole proceeding, what but the blindness of prejudice can account for the vote given by most of these nineteen gentlemen to decide immediately upon the accusation without allowing me any opportunity of procuring evidence to discredit or explain what was offered against me? And that too after I had stated upon affidavit the materiality of the testimony I could produce. Surely men, who were impartially and dispassionately enquiring after truth, could never have wished to declare a man guilty of a crime, and inflict upon him the severest punishment without permitting any other testimony to be offered to them except that which was intended to criminate him—yet this mode of "summary proceeding," as it was termed, was warmly recommended in the report and found many advocates in the senate. There is one circumstance which so plainly shews the spirit of injustice and persecution manifested towards me by most of these gentlemen (the weight of whose opinions it is surely fair that I should thus be allowed to depreciate) that I cannot forbear to state it—when it was determined by the senate that I should be permitted to procure evidence in my behalf, and the first day of March appointed for me to produce it, I was directed to give "reasonable notice" to all the witnesses against me whom I meant to discredit, of the time and place of taking my depositions. This was on the 20th of January. The principal witness against me, Elias Glover, was in Cincinnati, the witnesses to discredit him were in a distant part of New York and Connecticut, where he had formerly lived, and one or two in New Orleans. It will, therefore, be obvious that it was impossible for me to give him any such notice of which he could in any manner avail himself, provided my depositions were taken in time to reach Washington by the first of March. Yet all that could be expected, I did. I proceeded immediately to Cincinnati, and thinking that perhaps the mail might over-travel me, I did send him a notice by the mail from Berryville, Virginia, on the 25th of January, (which on my arrival was also repeated) and in which I informed him that I should take testimony to discredit him on the 15th and 20th of February, in New York and Connecticut, that the time limited by the senate would not allow me to delay it, but that I would permit him to appoint any subsequent day to cross-examine the witnesses I should produce, and would direct them to attend, if he thought he could do so, before the senate would decide upon the subject. Notwithstanding this, when I offered the depositions thus taken of between thirty and forty witnesses to prove the infamy of this accuser, it was to my amazement urged that they ought not to be read because the witness discredited did not receive that "reasonable notice" which the order of the senate had rendered impossible, and most of these nineteen gentlemen actually voted to reject them.
What renders this still more extraordinary is, that all the evidence they received to criminate me (except that of col. Taylor) was taken not only without any notice whatever to me but with the most studied secrecy. Many were produced which I had never heard until they were read as evidence against me, two days before the final decision of the question; these also containing new accusations charging me with new facts, to refute which I of course had no opportunity of producing evidence.
If any other proof in addition to that which appears on the face of the proceedings of the existence of prejudice against me, can be necessary, it may be seen in the frank and honorable avowal of Messrs. Giles and Pope. These gentlemen candidly owned that their impressions had been excited strongly against me—that they were really apprehensive that their prejudices were so strong as almost to unfit them from rendering me strict and impartial justice;
yet these gentlemen arose superior to an influence which so frequently subdues the powers of less vigorous minds; they declared that the proofs of my innocence were so clear and conclusive, that I had so completely disproved or explained every suspicious circumstance against me, that they not only believed me unconnected with the conspiracy but entitled to the thanks of my country for exertions in suppressing it; certainly I can have no cause to regret any censure which has procured me the honor of so distinguished a commendation.
By what means or by whose agency these prejudices were excited against me, to what vicious sources they are to be attributed, it cannot be necessary to shew. My accuser had the art to connect his tale with some trifling circumstances which might, unill explained, justify suspicion; and although my testimony did explain them and prove his perjury most conclusively, it might yet have come too late for those minds which having once formed an opinion, think it true wisdom to persevere in it. I might also, Sir, have shewn (as I hope I did) at the commencement and through the whole course of this enquiry, an unbounding and unconciliating demeanor towards men who had manifested such a readiness to suspect me. There may also, Sir, have been some political feeling on this as on all other occasions. Some parts of my public conduct may have been disagreeable to my associates; some of my declarations and opinions (for even these were subjected to the scrutiny of their investigation) might perhaps be considered such as to render it "incompatible with the privileges and dignity of the senate, that I should retain a seat among them."
There is one circumstance of this nature which I so strongly suspect to have been the source of some displeasure against me, and which is in some measure connected with the origin of the charges against my conduct, that I must be excused for detailing it. It will be recollected that this accusation was first made by a certain Matthew Nimmo and forwarded, together with Glover's affidavit, in letters to the president of the U. S. Had these creatures slandered me where they were known, I should have been careless of the consequences, but as their infamy might not be notorious enough to reach the president, I felt no little anxiety, as soon as I had reason to suspect what they had done, to remove any doubts their misrepresentations might have excited, I therefore wrote to him requesting to know by whom and of what I was accused. Not being answered, and thinking what I asked was reasonable, I wrote again, and again. After a long time, I received an answer which is now before me, in which I am told that "though sorry to refuse any request of mine, a compliance with what I asked would be a breach of trust. That it is essential for the public interest that people should be induced to give him information, and therefore necessary that what is thus deposited should be secret and sacred." I must confess that the "salutations and assurances of great esteem and respect" which accompanied this polite refusal did not satisfy me. I considered that if I could convince the president of the falsehood of this charge (which I am sure I could have done) that the opportunity of doing so ought not to have been denied me. But if I could not, the information would then be strengthened and would justify him in my proceedings against me. And why should this concealment be insisted on only against me? Why should they be shewn to others? Can any thing be more unaccountable than that I should be told in May, 1807, "that writing from Monticello where he had not his papers to turn to, he could not even say whether he had received such as I mentioned," but if received, it would be a breach of trust to inform me of them and yet that he should have just before delivered them to the attorney general of the U. States. When I ask for the means of refuting an insidious calumny, I am told "that there is no danger of my being injured by it as he considers such information as a mere suggestion for enquiry, that their papers must therefore be kept secret and sacred," when in fact, instead of being kept secret and sacred, they had not been kept at all, but were at that moment in the hands of others as the foundation of a prosecution against me, and when too many of them, though material to my defence before the senate, were actually lost. But Sir, independent of my individual wrongs, I did think it a most extraordinary and highly dangerous principle, which was thus brought into action and avowed in this letter. It opened to my view a system of encouraging malicious spies and informers which I had always heard execrated as the most odious features of tyranny—
and never expected to see practised in a free government like ours. I could not see how it was "essential to the public interest" thus to subject men of the fairest characters to the most malignant accusations, thus to patronise and protect the base and cowardly slanderer by sheltering his false hoods and himself from exposure and disgrace. I also was still less reconciled to this principle by observing the plea of state expediency or necessity (the very language of despotism) urged to support of it. Such Sir, were my thoughts upon this subject, and warm with these feelings, I attempted not to conceal them, but (as I always have done and trust I ever shall) expressed frequently and freely. Nay, I did more, and what to a guilty man, would have been, the most impolitic and unsafe step which could be taken. I wrote to this very Matthew Nimmo, avowing my surprise and indignation at the treatment I had received from him and the government. All which declarations, and this letter were, as might naturally be expected, and as the event has shown, detailed and transmitted with due diligence to Washington where they were no doubt "kept secret and sacred," until they were called forth by the late enquiry in the senate. It is not my object, Sir, to criminate the conduct of the president in this particular. He acted no doubt upon principles in his opinion correct; and though I think them erroneous and unjust, I have no wish to question the sincerity of that avowal which I understood he has made of his conviction of my innocence, and only regret that he did not think himself justified to allow me an earlier opportunity of saying himself.
Nor did I state this for the purpose of charging either the president with using, or any members of the senate with submitting to any influence or control in the institution or conduct of the proceedings against me. I am certainly less than ever disposed to indulge suspicions when I have just seen how totally even some honest minds may be seduced by them. I might otherwise have thought it even yet uncertain whether I was beyond the reach of that secret mysterious and inquisitorial power to which I have been subjected, whether it ceases its operations when its collected is proofs, or whether it is also, "essential to the public interest," to continue its unseen agency in dictating or devising a punishment.
No, Sir, I only contend that by thus censuring the administration, I must have subjected myself in some degree to the displeasure of that administration and its zealous supporters, and that to this is to be attributed (without in any manner impeaching their integrity, for whose integrity renders him superior to all human influences) that prejudice which I have so manifestly shewn in the judgment of those who censure me, and it is most probable that this feeling towards me was considerably increased by the indication which this conduct indicated of withdrawing my allegiance from that administration and that party to which I had rendered my decided though not obsequious support. I have thus endeavored to shew that those prejudices which so often & so powerfully pour themselves into deliberative bodies, from party spirit, political resentments and attachments, and various other sources, and which were so wisely foreseen and guarded against by the framers of the constitution, operated so plausibly and forcibly on this occasion as to leave no room to be dissatisfied with a decision, which, under existing circumstances, I regard as a signal triumph.
There is also one other motive, Sir, to which I should be equally unwilling that my resignation should in any degree be attributed. I mean to a request to that effect which the legislature of Ohio thought proper to make of me. However willing I might have been to retire from my station, I could not think it either reasonable or just to ask me to do so, and thus shrink from an expected enquiry which I was so solicitous to meet. Had I been as guilty as those gentlemen believed me, the case would have been different; and though I am now willing to make allowances for a hasty and intemperate vote, and am persuaded that every member of that legislature will do me the justice to examine my justification, and have the candor to avow his mistake, I yet must beg to be excused from having any respect to a proceeding which unjustly prejudiced my cause, and sanctioned a calumny which I had then no opportunity of refusing.
No, Sir, my determination to abandon public life has arisen from no consideration in any manner connected with the circumstances I have been detailing. It has been formed upon mature reflection and observation, and would have been long since effectuated but for those accusations against my conduct, which my duty to myself, my

my friends called upon me to... I had long before seen enough of the political world, the bitterness of its contests, the malignity of its persecutions, the overbearing arrogance of some and the disgraceful compliances and base arts of others, to excite my disapprobation and aversion. To such a state... have these incessant heats and... reduced our country, that any man who looks calmly around him, must see and deplore their poisonous effects. Not only in the councils of the nation, but in almost every station of life, he may see in politics the source of numberless vexations and oppressions, the fruitful mother of a thousand calamities, the betrayer of principles, the corrupter of morals. Has a man attached himself to a party? He is in chains. From that moment he is expected to renounce his own principles, and follow blindly wherever he is led. He is to support and oppose measures, not as his own conscience and understanding shall inform him, but often in direct opposition to the clearest dictates of both. Does he dare to break from this disgraceful bondage? Is he rash enough even to speak with reverence of any of the idols whom he is commanded to worship? He is denounced, reviled, and upon the slightest pretext persecuted to his ruin. I have long thought, sir, that a far different spirit from this was necessary to give dignity, harmony and strength to public deliberations, and to save our nation. That every man should cast off his vassalage of party. That he should not only disdain any obligation to adopt the opinions and support the measures of others, but that he should exert his own talents in the most unprejudiced manner, and act only as his own conscience directed him, without any solicitude as to who should vote with him or against him. We have, I hope, some such characters as these, some shining examples of this independence and greatness of mind. And no man more sincerely wishes than I do, to see their numbers and consequence strengthened. But of this I almost despair. To stem this prevailing and overwhelming current, calls for the united force and talents and confidence of our country. Sensible that I could yield but a feeble and insufficient aid to this great object, I willingly retire, with the hope, that my place may be filled by one who possesses more ability (more zeal he cannot) to support the honor and interest of the nation.  I have been insensibly drawn into a much more considerable detail than I had intended. It will be attributed, I trust, to my desire to place in a correct point of view the motives which have prompted me to this the last act of my political life.  I pretend to no stoical indifference to the opinions of my fellow citizens, to those particularly with whom I have been more immediately and dearly connected, who unsolicited have honored me with their confidence on many occasions, and whose esteem and friendship, I have regarded as my greatest enjoyment, I have felt an irresistible impulse to justify myself. And this must be in some degree my excuse for having thus trespassed on your patience.  I am Sir, With due respect, Your Excellency's, Most obedient servant, JOHN SMITH, of Ohio.

COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, April 30.  Our sugar has been very steady during this week; yesterday, a cargo, consisting of 300 hds. new Barbadoes, were sold by public auction, and were taken off with great spirit at late prices. Rums remain in the same languid state as for some weeks past, and coffee is quite neglected.  Cottons have gone off with great animation, and we quote a general advance of 1 1-2d per lb, excepting upon Sea Islands, which also sell freely at former prices; many speculative purchases have been made, but so great a proportion of the weekly sale, continue to be taken by the dealers and spinners, that we consider the present rates to be firmly established, and as the probability of the continued interruption of American intercourse is strengthened by the return of Mr. Rose, prices will most likely go still higher: we note the particulars of what has been done as near as can be ascertained, viz. 3000 old Bowed, at 16d a 18d and one lot at 19d; 1000 new do. at 18 3-4d a 20d; 700 New Orleans, at 20 1-2d including 64 inferior, at 19 1-2d & 33 prime at 22d; 2000 Tennessee, at 16 1-2d a 18d; 200 Sea Islands, at 2s a 2s 7d; 20 stained Sea Islands at 18 1-2d; 240 Carthegenas, at 18d; 80 West Indies, at 18 1-4d a 20 1-4d; 250 Barbadoes, at 21d a 22d; 150 Oronokas, at 22d a 23d; 1000 Demeraras, at 22d a 2s; 50 Pams, at 21d; 500 Maranhams and Bamass, at 23d a 24d; 100 Pernams, at 2s 2d a 2s 4d and 30 Bourbons, at 2s 4d making the whole quantity 7500 bags.  Fustic experiences a regular demand for the trade, and prices are still looking up. Some parcels of Jamaica logwood continue to be bought up on speculation, at 121 to 121 1-2s and not much of good quality to be had at these prices. Naval stores have been more enquired for, and the holders demand an advance. Pot ashes have revived again, and are now much sought after; 95s. have been obtained, and it is generally required. Pearls are not in the same request, and the prices are without fluctuation. Tobaccos have for a few days past been very brisk, but the purchases, though large, are principally speculative. Wheat is in great demand, and we note an advance of upwards of 6d. per bushel, which, as the London market has experienced an improvement, will, without doubt, be maintained. Rice, for the same cause as we assigned last week, remains without any alteration.

PHILADELPHIA, June 28.  By the Ariel, we learn, that the nominal price of flour at St. Croix was 40 dollars per bbl. but very little for sale. The island was in expectation of receiving large supplies via Quebec. The embargo in the U. S. had at first occasioned a considerable pressure there; its effects however were daily less felt; and the general sentiment was, that the United States should never again have it in their power to distress the island.  On the 13th inst. a transport with a company of artillery arrived at Halifax, from Cork. She parted company on the passage with another transport, with artillerymen, also bound to Halifax. They were part of a fleet of 75 vessels, under convoy of the Nemesis and Plover, the rest bound to Newfoundland and Quebec.
CHARLESTON, June 18.  Yesterday arrived the Revenue-Cutter GALLATIN, capt. M'Neil after a cruise of twenty-four hours, having brought in the brig George capt. Cox. The brig George, is one of the vessels which went out to the W. Indies, by permission, since the embargo, to bring home property from Antigua; but the government of that Island would permit no vessel to take out any cargo, unless they had brought out a cargo from the United States. The George then proceeded to St. Bartholomews, where she took in a cargo on freight, being a part of the proceeds of the cargo of the ship Eleonor, Magrath, of this port, from Africa, condemned at St. K. by some unknown since, as not sea worthy.
More French Friendship!  Two French armed schooners, the Exchange, capt. Bonnafon, and Jeune Eselle capt. Carvine, arrived at this port on the 18th ult. from Barracoa, via St. Mary's River. One of them had on board a cargo of Coffee, which was either sold or left in the hands of their agents in this place. They were permitted to take on board such a quantity of provision as was deemed, by the proper authority, sufficient for their voyage; and they sailed again on the 30th ult. When they arrived here they were reported to be commanded by captain Youx and captain Fellir.  Yesterday morning letters were received in town, by express, from St. Mary's, stating, that these same privateers, who had received the rights of hospitality in this port, had arrived in the river St. Mary's, and had plundered the brig Charles, of Baltimore, of flour to the value of 6000 dollars. Captain Brownlow has forwarded his protest to a mercantile house in this city, and has requested that an attachment might be laid upon any property which might be found in the hands of their agents here. This, we are informed, was done yesterday; but whether any thing will be ultimately recovered to indemnify the owners, is yet to be ascertained. Captain Brownlow in his letter says "this business is a most villainous transaction, and its equal he had never heard of."  We subjoin the captain's protest to prove that he has not been paid for the articles of which he was robbed.
STATE OF GEORGIA, ST. MARY'S.  Personally appeared Richard Brownlow, who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith—That on the 4th day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1808, while in the brig Charles, of Baltimore, of which this deponent is master, lying in Amelia sound, within the province of East Florida, he was boarded and taken possession of by Ant. Bonnafon, Louis Fellir, & Jean Baptiste Carvine, owners and masters of the armed schooners Exchange, and Jeune Estelle, and forcibly deprived of 200 bbls. of superfine flour, the property of this deponent, and this deponent further states, that he will be entirely without redress, if the property of the said Bonnafon, Fellir, and Carvine, is not attached to answer the demand of this deponent; and further that he is endangered to the amount of $6000 by the loss of the aforesaid 200 bbls. of flour; by reason of the detention aforesaid, and the failure of his voyage and sale of the said flour.  Sworn to before me, this 7th day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1808, at St. Mary's, in the state of Georgia.  ROBT. BROWNLOW. HARMEN COURTEZ, J. P.

LIGHT ARTILLERY. —On Saturday and Monday the citizens of Washington had the satisfaction of witnessing, on the open space in front of the president's house, the interesting manoeuvres of a corps of light artillery (sometimes denominated flying artillery) belonging to the army of the U. S. which has just been organised, under the command of captain Peter. The celerity of movement, and rapid discharges, either in advancing or retreating, manifested by this corps, were convincing proofs of the great utility of this kind of artillery in battle. On the line of march (and, indeed, in all its evolutions) the corps has a most animating appearance. Part of the artillery are mounted on horseback, and others in a light kind of carriage, very convenient for the purpose. The horses are exceedingly fine; and the men appeared to be very expert.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU- FACTURES: Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Ar- lington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to.

FOR SALE, My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Ma- chodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattapex Bridge. The situation is healthy, af- fords fine water, embraces the great advan- tages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, na- vigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys re- spectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the be- nefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improve- ments alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for build- ing and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an over- seer, and customary houses of other descrip- tions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Ne- groes my Plantation utensils, some House- hold and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal- getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my Ne- groes, which I shall dispose of in my neigh- borhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be re- quired in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the pur- chaser's own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable mer- chandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHARIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
