46th Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Colmyn, December 28.
"Marshal Ney, charged with executing the manoeuvres by which he was to drive the Prussian lieutenant general Lefocq from Wresza, took rank him, and by these means, to cut off his communication with the Russians, has executed these manoeuvres with his accustomed ability and intrepidity. On the 23d, gen. Marchaud's divisions moved to Geruzno. On the 24th the enemy was pursued to Kunsbrook. On the 25th, the division came to an action, by which the enemy's rear suffered some loss. On the 26th, the enemy having collected at Soldau and Miawa, marshal Ney was determined to advance and attack him. The Prussians were in possession of Soldau with 6000 infantry and about 1000 cavalry, and, being defended by morasses, and other obstacles about the place, they thought themselves secure against any attack. All those difficulties, however, were surmounted by the 49th & 78th regiments. The enemy defended himself in all the streets of the place, and was every where driven with fixed bayonets. General Lefocq observing the small number of the troops that had attacked him, wished to retake the place. In the course of the night he made four successive attacks without effect. He afterwards retired to Neidenburg. Six pieces of cannon, some colors, and a great number of prisoners, are the effects of this affair at Soldau. Marshal Ney praises general Von der Woldt, who was wounded. He also makes particular mention of colonel Brunn of the sixty-ninth, whose behavior was highly encouraging."
"On the same day the 59th marched to Lauterberg."
"During the action at Soldau, general Marchaud's division drove the enemy from Miawa, where also a great action took place."
"Marshal Bessieres had already taken possession of Diezun, with the 2d corps of cavalry, on the 19th. The enemy feeling the importance of this post, and observing that the left wing of the French army wished to cut the Prussians off from the Russians, made an attempt to retake the place; this gave rise to the engagement at Diezun."
"On the 23d at 8 o'clock, the enemy approached by various ways. Marshal Bessieres had placed the only two companies of infantry he had, upon the bridge; when seeing the enemy approach in great numbers, he ordered general Crouchy to advance with his division to interrupt the operations of the army besieging Breslau."
"Being attacked by gen. Crouchy's division, the enemy's line was soon broke; the Prussian infantry and cavalry, 6000 strong, were thrown into confusion, and driven into the morasses. Five hundred prisoners, five pieces of cannon, and two standards, are the fruits of this attack. Marshal Bessieres bestows the highest encomiums upon gen. Crouchy, gen. Rouget, and his chief of the staff gen. Roussel; Rouget, the chief d'escadron of the 6th dragoons, distinguished himself. M. Lanny, capt. of the select company of that regiment, is killed."
"M. Borrau, aid de camp of marshal Bessieres, is killed. In general our loss is of small consequence; it consists of eight killed, and about 20 wounded. The dragoons of the 6th, and M. Joffroy, of 3d, took two standards."
"His majesty, wishing to give prince Jerome an opportunity of obtaining military knowledge, had ordered him from Silesia. This prince has been present in all the affairs that have occurred, and has frequently been at the advanced posts."
"His majesty is highly pleased with the conduct of the artillery, for the firmness they have displayed in various affairs, and for the activity in laying bridges, and conducting the cannon along the bad roads."
"Gen. Marclaz, commandant of the cavalry of the light corps; col. Excelmans, of the 1st Yagers; and gen. Petit, have displayed marks of courage and military skill."
"His majesty has given particular orders, that in the official details of the different affairs no traits be passed over which deserve to be conveyed to future ages; as it is on that account, and in order to live for ever in the memory of posterity, that the French soldiers brave every fatigue & danger."

48th Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Warsaw, January 3.
"Gen. Corbineau, aid de-camp to the emperor, had set out from Pultusk in pursuit of the enemy, with three regiments of light cavalry. After occupying Prok, he reached Ostrowiel on the 1st inst. On his march he picked up 400 Russian soldiers, officers, and a great quantity of baggage waggons."
"Marshal Soult, with three brigades of light horse, part of Lasalle's division, has taken a position along the banks of the little Oreye, in order to cover the cantonments of the army."
"Marshal Ney, the prince of Ponte Corvo, and marshal Bessieres, have cantoned their troops on the left bank."
"The light corps under marshals Soult, Davoust, and Lannes, continue to occupy Pultusk, and the banks of the Bug."
"The enemy's army continues to retreat. The emperor arrived at Warsaw on the 2d of January."
"We have had snow and frost for two days in continuance; but it has begun again to thaw, and the roads, which were becoming somewhat better, are now as bad as before."
"Prince Borghese has incessantly been at the head of the 1st regiment of carbineers and curassiers, and testified the most anxious desire to meet the enemy, but the division of dragoons which came first into action, by carrying every thing before them, left the former no opportunity of attacking the enemy."
"His majesty has appointed general Lariboissiere as general of division, and given him the command of the artillery of the guards. He is an officer of the highest merit."
"The troops of the grand duke of Wurtzburg compose the garrison of the city of Berlin. They consist of two regiments, which made an excellent appearance."
"The corps under prince Jerome continues to besiege Breslau. The beautiful city is in ashes. A disposition to wait the course of events, and the hope of being relieved by the Russians, have prevented the garrison from surrendering, but the siege makes progress. The Bavarian and Wirtemberg troops have merited the praise of prince Jerome, and the esteem of the French army."
"The governor of Silesia had collected the garrisons of the fortresses not yet blockaded, and formed out of them an army of 20,000 men, with which he had commenced his march to interrupt the operations of the army besieging Breslau."
"Against this force general Hedouville, the chief of prince Jerome's staff, detached general Mombrun, commandant of the Wurtembergers, and general Minucci, commandant of the Bavarians. They came up with the Prussians at Strelen, put them to flight, and took 400 men, 600 horses, and several convoys of provisions, which the enemy intended to send into the fortress. Major Hetcher, at the head of 150 of Leiningen's light horse, attacked two Prussian squadrons, and completely routed them, making 36 of them prisoners."
From the Charleston Courier.
THE storm, which is now spreading in the east, hurling to destruction whole kingdoms and countries, and which threatens to extend its ravages to the Western Hemisphere, appears to have been little expected by those whose duty it is to guard us from approaching danger. The administration of our government for the latter years, seems void of that energy and resolution, that correct discernment and determined perseverance, which gives the highest and most important dignity to a nation. Imbecility marks its character and vice too often appears among its weaknesses. In remarking on this subject, we would wish to be devoid of that mean party spirit, that illiberality of soul, which has crept into almost every American bosom, and corrupted those patriotic sentiments, so highly embellishing the human heart. Should an American who really possesses those good and great qualities, glance a look over the political state of the world, casting an eye at Europe and then at his own native home; could he say, "here I am happy; here dwells peace and plenty not to be disturbed. The wars of the old world cannot reach us, and among ourselves political corruption never can be known." Happy would he be in such reflections; but alas! how different would they be. A hasty glance only would direct him to a different conclusion, and on more close investigation would establish sentiments of another nature. In Europe, he would behold the strong arm of power crushing the smaller efforts of justice and liberty, and the intrigues of knavery corrupting every principle, on which is built the political happiness of a people. France rises like a colossal statue, to which all nations must bend the knee; and England, we think, has arrived now at that point, which will determine whether she will remain the defender of the world, against the universal dominion of the Corsican, or fall from all her greatness to the miserable condition of her sister kingdoms.
Various may be the sentiments of men on important subjects; and sorry we are to perceive, among those who profess the purest patriotism, many who seem to wish the fall of that important power. Many honest Americans, who perhaps really wish well to their country, carry with them a zeal in its cause, beyond which they have talents to apply, or wisdom to regulate. Their sentiments are biased by misconstruction of every object in view, and their whole stock of mental qualities becomes distorted and distracted into a farrago of ludicrous nonsense.
When the understanding is deciding on an important principle, it is necessary that the passions should be kept asleep lest they should attract or repulse it from its proper course. Among individuals, half their errors arise from prejudices that their feelings have imperceptibly fixed upon them. When this circumstance affects the administration of a government, its consequences must prove extremely fatal. On one part, it might lead to continual broils and to the horrors of war, so highly ruinous to the happiness of a people; and on the other part, allurements of superficial friendship, proffered only to disguise some hellish purpose, perhaps would lead to an unexpected ruin. That there is something like this operating in the administration of our government, few will deny, who examine it attentively and impartially.
The principal cause, which first occasioned the grand division in the political sentiments of our countrymen, appear to be found in that important contest, at which every heart beat in unison and every arm was raised to establish our independence. We fought for our liberty. We fought the enemy of France and France lent us assistance. To the enthusiastic man, who considers not the motive of action, and who draws inferences from objects imaginary as to form, from this circumstance, a strong friendship for the French. And this was the case with many of our fellow countrymen. But far different was the motive which stimulated France to assist America in her important struggle, from their professions of national friendship. She had a double inducement to her proceedings: at once to deprive England of an important part of her growing greatness, and to dupe America into a sense of gratitude and subservience. No doubt there were individuals in France, who exerted themselves in the American cause, from more noble motives. There was a La Fayette, who fought our battles as he fought the cause of liberty. This brave man in endeavoring to secure the rights of his own country, has reaped the reward in a prison.
In the court of Great Britain, where corruption was found in almost every department, we too had friends. There stood a Chatham, who in the presence of tainted royalty, could support the cause of Freedom and America. The federal party in the U. S. have often been charged with acting from sentiments, biased in favor Great Britain. That there are men more among us of that class, it would perhaps be folly to deny. In some few minds it may have formed a prejudice too deeply rooted to be easily effaced; but those characters must retain them highly to their own discredit. The opinions of men will naturally be inclined to place favorable constructions on subjects arising from a source, whence they have derived any important advantage. The immense intercourse between the U. S. and England, the great advantage accruing to this country from our commerce with that nation, must necessarily have influenced a large proportion of our fellow citizens to esteem a friendship between the two countries, of infinite importance. But to argue from this that these men would set a price to the liberties of their country, and barter them for British gold, could be equalled only in absurdity by the general fallacy of democratic arguments.
In the intercourse of nations nothing can be more absurd than a confidential reliance on the friendship of one to the other.
This is a virtue which may possibly be found pure in a single bosom; but when scattered among a multitude, its vigour is abated and its purity lost. Ambition is the ruling passion of governments and policy the criterion of all their transactions. These two principles appear not so striking in states of little power: Necessity compels them to relinquish the one and dictates to them the use of the other. The weaker will be continually harassed by the stronger, and the greater the accession, the greater will be the demand. A government, which possesses abilities sufficient to secure its own privileges, and still permits them to be unimpaired, may expect greater impositions than one, though of less strength, who bravely declares and supports its privileges with energy and decision.
JUNIUS.
From the Federal Gazette.
THE TABLET...NO. I.
THE United States is called a young country and its inhabitants a new people. Such however is not the case. This country strictly speaking is as old as Egypt, and its inhabitants neither more nor less (with the exception of Indians & Africans) than a motley collection of Europeans and the descendants of Europeans.
Such is the simple and unadorned fact; and when the vast extent of territory yet to be settled is taken into the account, several centuries, must roll away, before the country can be filled with inhabitants as to give to it a people, one and homogeneous.
Another which has been broached and is fondly cherished. Expressed in plain and intelligent terms it amounts to this, "As Europeans settling in the United States, becomes thereby a better man, and his race born within the U. States, including Louisiana, a better race than if he had continued in his native soil, and hey had been born and remained there with him."
This is a flattering hypothesis, but how is it supported? Is there any thing in the soil or climate of the United States, or in their laws or institutions capable of making an European better, or his descendants a better race of men?
We confess that there are not a few facts whose bearing is to establish a contrary hypothesis.
The inhabitants of Massachusetts, Virginia and Delaware consist almost wholly of descendants of Europeans who have emigrated to the country which they inhabit. Here then, if any where in the United States, we may expect to find the American character, in its most improved state and under its most imposing form.
To a late address by the legislature of Massachusetts, praising the wisdom of his measures, Mr. Jefferson returned a judicious answer. "This letter or answer being read from the chair by the speaker of the house of representatives (we use the words of the house employed on this occasion) It is thereupon ordered that the same be deposited among the archives of the house and printed in the paper in which are promulgated the laws of the commonwealth."
Let us turn our attention for a moment to the commons of the parliament of England.
Among the answers of their king to their addresses, approving of his measures in trying or critical occasions we do not find a single instance in which these commons have been guilty of such abject flattery as formally to direct any one of them to be preserved in their archives as a precious relict, and copies thereof promulgated to the people, in like manner as their laws.
An act against which the blood of Englishmen would rebel, has been done by the representatives of the state of Massachusetts, the DESCENDANTS OF ENGLISHMEN.
Is this act characteristic of high minded republicans?
It was not till the evils inseparable from democracy had destroyed liberty in Athens and debased the sentiments of its once celebrated citizens that they were guilty of similar prostrations to their supposed benefactor (a)
The house of delegates of the state of Virginia affords another example no less striking, and is possible more disgraceful to the republican character. In an address to Mr. Jefferson, the following reasoning is substantially used, to induce him to become a candidate for the ensuing presidency.
"We acknowledge that the republican principle requires a rotation in the higher departments of government, as essential to
(a) See Plutarch's life of Demetrius.

the preservation of liberty—But a man cannot be said to violate a principle unless he intends its violation.—Now it is not your intention to violate the principle of rotation. Your fixed intention we are assured is, not to serve the republic for the next four years. This intention therefore is equivalent to your having been actually out of office that period of time; consequently the principle of rotation, so dear to all true republicans will not be affected or impaired by your acting as president for the ensuing four years." It is thus the commons of the ancient dominion, that portion of the U. S. first settled by Europeans, whose planters live in palaces, assume the post of princes, and are waited upon by a train of slaves, assert the dignity of freemen, and rise superior to their English ancestors. "At a meeting of certain descendants of Englishmen, styling themselves delegates of New Castle county, in the state of Delaware, held conformably to a resolution of the grand jury of that county," Mr. Jefferson is addressed in the following language:
"Through various sources we have obtained information that puts it beyond a doubt, you have declared your intention, at the end of the presidency, to decline a re-election, and retire from the arduous duties of first magistrate, to the repose of private life. Although we honor the disinterestedness of such conduct, a variety of circumstances impress us with the apprehension that even this virtuous example might be hazardous at so critical a moment. "Clouds of danger hang over our common country, which threaten to burst in deep and open violence. At such a crisis, canvassing and cabals consequent on a change of a president, might, we apprehend, be dangerous. "We therefore intreat you, not to withhold your name at the next presidential election, but, once more, permit the public good to outweigh personal considerations. At the end of four years more we hope that there will be no impediment or restraint to your laudable ambition of setting a glorious example for future chief magistrates."
"We will not take up your time with professions of regard & admiration of your public conduct. All America, and we believe, all the world, are ready to approve the ground of our confidence. But we declare, that by according with our ardent wishes and expectations, which we sincerely believe is the hope and desire of our republican fellow citizens, you will add additional obligations to the numerous blessings which, under the smiles of Providence, with grateful hearts, we are at all times ready to acknowledge, as the result of your happy administration."
We cannot peruse these many acts and solicitations of the descendants of Englishmen, and drive from our recollection the accounts given by Dio Cassius and Suetonius of the flattery and humble inreaties employed by the Roman senate and people after they had lost the dignity of freemen, to induce Augustus to continue at the head of affairs.
Augustus having arrived at supreme power, affected a great degree of moderation and respect for the rights of the people, by maintaining most of the ancient forms of the republican constitution, and pretending to consider his own functions as merely a temporary administration for the public benefit. As consul, he went thro' the usual process of the periodical elections, and at the end of the seventh year of his government actually announced to the senate his resignation of all authority. This general announcement was followed by a special supplication of the senate and Roman people, that he would not abandon the republic which he had saved from destruction.
Overpowered by their solicitations; "since it must be so (said Augustus) I accept the empire for ten years, unless the public tranquility would permit me before that time to enjoy retirement I passionately long for."
Augustus, we are told, repeated the same mockery five times in the course of his government, accepting the chief magistracy, sometimes for ten and sometimes only for five years. No doubt it would be perceived, without mentioning it, that the parallel here suggested is not between Augustus and Mr. Jefferson, but between the degenerate Romans, in the days of Augustus, and citizens of the U. S., the descendants of Europeans in the colony of Mr. Jefferson. The enthusiasm of liberty banished from the Romans? Is the spirit of independence extinct? Is the ardor of patriotism dead? In our climate, is it our soil, is it our republican institutions, that have brought the descendants of Englishmen to solicit for a ruler, like the corrupt and degenerate senate of Rome?
Where now shall we look for the advocates of principles not men? Where meet with respecters of the rights of their fellow citizens? Where discover men satisfied with that degree of consideration, they can procure by their abilities, fairly measured, against those of an opponent? Where find men who labor for the public without hope of profit? Where seek for men, who reject every attempt to create personal dependence? If already become imitators of the degenerate Romans, in the days of Augustus; if already our elections, which every citizen should approach free and unbiased, are influenced by the addresses of legislatures and presidential letters; if already oaths and obligations are dead letters in our constitutions; if already all love of country is swallowed up in a love for office; if already patriotism and the heroic virtues are supplanted by hypocrisy, selfishness and cunning; if already the cry of liberty is heard loudest amongst the most profligate and degenerate—we may boast of the name, but we are no longer republicans.
When some neglected fabric nods beneath The weight of years, and totters to the tempest, Must Heaven dispatch the messenger of light, Or wake the dead to warn us of its fall. JOHNSON'S IRENE. Mount Clear. O. From French papers received at Charleston.
POSEN, December 16. The Israelites of Frankfort (on the Maine) to the president of the assembly of the deputies of those of France and the kingdom of Italy.
Mr. President, We can no longer observe a silence contradicted by our sentiments and our wishes.—The convocation over which you preside, had from the first inspired us with joy and flattering hopes; the answers to the questions of the grand monarch have excited our just admiration. They discover men at the same time penetrated with the true spirit of religion and the duties of the virtuous citizen; we there see the uprightness of negotiators, animated with that conciliating character so proper to remove all difficulties. The Israelites spread abroad in the immensity of the French empire, already had the happiness of being re-established in the sacred rights of nature; the great nation had already broken the fetters of a people too long a time slaves, and broken down the fatal barrier which separated them from their brethren—it had restored to the country defenders which were despised, and to the state useful citizens; but the enjoyment of this inappreciable benefit still was subject to some difficulties, and it was rendered for the immortal Napoleon to complete your happiness. His vast genius readily saw that religion could be rendered pure, and abuses corrected; nevertheless, for the purpose of avoiding every suspicion that he intended the least attack on our ancient belief, he called you to deliberate with you as a father with his children, on your true interests.
May the shining example of France free the limits of its empire; may the humanity of its sovereign extend itself over the whole earth, and produce not a sterile admiration, but a laudable emulation, which will assimilate us to our brethren—may the arbiters of mankind lend a sensible ear to the plaintive cries of outraged nature! O divine bounty, deign once more to cast a propitious eye on a people formerly the object of your grace.—Inspire the masters of the world; touch their hearts in favor of Israel!
And you, who are assembled to work the happiness of your brethren, let not your zeal relax; second with ardor, the sublime intentions of your august benefactor; if the fool despises your labor, the sage will cover you with benedictions. Finish the grand work you are called to: and immortal glory awaits the end of your career. We wish, Mr. President and Messrs. Deputies, that we could better express to you our satisfaction, and our ardent wishes for the success of your labors. Accept, as a proof of the interest we take in them, our thanks and our respects.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, APRIL 10.
MARRIED, on Tuesday evening last by the reverend Mr. Weems, Wilson Smoot, Esq. of Charles-county, to the amiable Miss Ann Hargraves of Berry Plains.
MR. SNOWDEN, THE present election for a member of Congress for the district composed of Fairfax, &c. is not more interesting to any part of that district than it is to the town of Alexandria and its well wishers; for, having no immediate representation in Congress, this part of the District of Columbia are deeply interested in having a representative who, from situation, similarity of interest, or inclination, shall be disposed to watch over and protect the interests of this place, when not incompatible with those of his more immediate district, and it will be recollected that Geo. Town and the City have struggled for and obtained that advantage in the representative of their adjoining district. Yet, not contented with that, they are now attempting to influence the election in opposition to Mr. Lewis on this side the Potomac. It is well known that Mr. Littlejohn has been brought forward at the particular solicitation of some characters in Geo. Town, and that the particular friends of a certain cross bar of roads and bridges are his most zealous supporters. It is known that he is particularly hostile to the late projected improvements between Alexandria and the City, and having been brought forward under the patronage and support of the enemies to all our local wants, we may fairly calculate upon finding him, if elected, arrayed against all the interests of this place, which heretofore have been generously and promptly attended to by Mr. Lewis. It will also be recollected that the citizens of Alexandria county were not allowed, the last year, the privilege of improving a road only three miles out of the town of Alexandria, without wading through all the opposition of Geo. Town, and that too by persons not holding one foot of soil over which it was to pass—From such acts of patriotism we may readily calculate the good intended by pushing upon us a representative of their own creation, and enlisted under such immediate influence, and while it is laudable for the inhabitants of every town to watch over their own immediate interests, it is ungenerous to interfere with those of others—and it is believed that there is no instance can be produced of a person from Alexandria going to Washington county for the purpose of opposing roads or local improvements, or making representatives for their adjoining district. The county of Prince William has manifested its increasing confidence in Mr. Lewis by giving him a considerably larger vote than he ever had before and has lessened the majority against him 40, since last election, and it is hoped and confidently believed the whole district will do the same, in doing which it is greatly the interest of those persons in Alexandria entitled to votes to lend a helping hand (X B—g—dn.)
From the U States' Gazette.
MR. BRONSON, if you will publish the following notice you will much oblige all the friends of literature and confer a signal benefit on your country.
"Circular."
to the friends of literature in the united states. I present my complements and beg leave to inform that I have devoted the greatest part of my life to the study of languages so that now that I am myself, full of annoy I can compare with me in philological knowledge the result of my talents & labors I intend to publish a new dictionary of the kolumbian languages. "I have ever thought that as citizens of an independent nation we ought not to rely solely on the english language for books to explain the language spoken in our country."
I have often been ashamed at the ignorance which european writers discover in philology. "The orrery & history of the greek, latin, & other european languages are involved in no small degree of obscurity." "Vossius, Skalijer, & others have spent most of their labor in vain." "The dictionaries of Johnson, answurth, hederick, &c contain many material errors."
"I have devoted years to the subject and may discover some of the kolumbian languages." "I shall exhibit correct etymologies of the hebru, greek, & latin words,"
the affluences of german, dutch, french & italian languages will also be noted. It will be proper to notify the public of the outline of my work, it will be called the kolumbian dictionary (should the public manifest a preference of the term Iredonean. I shall cheerfully comply with their wish) I had made great discoveries in the etymology of the language which will be carefully noted. I shall communicate a new system of orthography &c, or pronunciation unsoiled by the pedantry and affectation of Johnson & workers I shall insert many thousand new words & old words used in a new sense. This has been deemed the best plan to establish a new tongue & shake off our silly attachment to old England, my list of new words is already lengthy & amounts to above 5000 more are daily coming in from my friends. Literally men in every quarter of the union are invited to contribute to the fund & as a small encouragement to patriotism in this way I will give a sum for each new word. I have resolved to employ a note taker to attend the next session of congress to collect new words and phrases. Gentlemen in the state legislatures are requested to make collections for the work. A friend has engaged to read over a file of authors for the last ten years, with such collections on hand & with such prospects in view I flatter myself with the completest success.
would idea more gentlemen & I am done. "the incessant labor of 2 or 13 years is a great sacrifice besides the expense of a numerous family & the cost of many books. My property is not adequate to these expenditures the friends of the undertaking are invited to assist me with contributions in money which will be gratefully received & faithfully applied." hoan strewbe

ILLNESS OF BONAPARTE. The London Sunday Review of Jan 23, says, "Through an anonymous channel, we have received advice that Bonaparte's health has been much impaired by the fatigue and anxiety to which he has of late been exposed, as to impress his medical attendants with the most serious apprehensions for his safety."
He has for some time labored under a dropsical complaint; and contrary to the advice of his physicians, persists in a profuse use of opium. He also drinks excessive quantities of coffee, without either sugar or cream, a practice which is supposed to have contributed to that languor and debility which occasionally depress him in such a degree, as to render him incapable of any ordinary exertion.

VALUABLE LANDS, To be Sold very Cheap.
I WISH to sell my Mill Tract of Land, situate on Back-Lick and Indian-Runs, about six miles from the town of Alexandria; containing about eleven hundred acres. On this tract are two plantations besides the mill farm—on the latter there is a very good mill, in which are one pair of burr, and one pair of chert stones, with elevators, &c. complete for merchant work—a distillery convenient to the mill, with four stills and every necessary utensil in complete order—a dwelling-house, kitchen, barn, with stables under it to accommodate 20 stalls, with every other out house requisite on a farm—a very good garden, an orchard of about 2500 trees of the choicest fruits this country can afford. There is about 300 or 400 acres of the tract cleared, the remainder in woods and a great part of it heavily timbered; about 30 or 40 acres of meadow, and nearly 300 acres more may be made on the bottoms adjoining the two runs.

If these lands should be sold at private sale, (which I would prefer) I will take in payment, if more convenient to the purchasers, stock of any of the banks from Richmond to New-York, or any kind of stock of the United States.
