PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres,
SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shewn to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, or by either of the subscribers, on the terms before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

PUBLIC NOTICE.
WHEREAS I have by a warrant from the general land office for the state of Virginia, located a piece or parcel of land, lying on the north side of Great Hunting Creek, and binding on the waters of said Creek, including the place commonly known by the name of Jones's Point, as well as other settlements on said Creek, above the said Jones's Point, which by a survey that was made on the 17th March last, by the surveyor of Fairfax county, for the state of Virginia, does clearly prove to have been waste or vacant land, that lay to the south of Robert Houson's tract (of 6000 acres) or in other words lay to the south of R. Houson's N. W. by W. line or course; which said 6000 acres of land was conveyed to Alexander or Alexanders many years ago. I therefore give public notice to all whom it may concern, that as the survey has been made for some time past, and that I have compounded thereon agreeable to law made and provided in that case for the state of Virginia, I shall in a short time proceed to take & make use of all the said piece or parcel of land which has been surveyed & laid out to me agreeable to my warrant, unless it is proved that the above land was, or is, not vacant.

TO MILLERS.
I HAVE invented a machine called a Wheat Rubber, for which I obtained a patent on the first day of this month. This machine may be seen in operation in the mill of Nathaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those millers, who feel an interest in investigating its merit and have not an opportunity of visiting Occoquan, may be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott, by letter. My Wheat-Rubber, I do verily believe is upon entirely new principles, the cost of erecting it a trifle, the materials of which it is composed easily attainable in any part of our country, and the plan simple in the extreme: any workman of common capacity will be enabled to erect it from description only. Practical millers know, that in a great proportion of the wheat that comes to market (from the manner it is stacked in the fields by the farmers and exposed to the weather) a number of sprouted and unsound grains mingle with the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity of the miller to separate it from the sound grain—they also know those unsound grains injure materially the taste and color of flour—my machine not only frees the wheat of stone, onion, cockle, dirt, &c. but does absolutely take from it every unsound grain, from what cause soever it may have been injured, as my machine will not let any unsound wheat pass it—millers may have their screen wire much finer than hitherto used, and thereby save considerably—it will also be found that the grain in passing the rubber, is polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat is picked perfectly clean of dust or dirt. Some instances having occurred of certificates being obtained, saying much more in favor of a new invention than the public are willing to admit after trial—I hope it will be a sufficient apology for my taking a different course. My price for the privilege of using the rubber is fifty dollars for each pair of wheat stones the mill contains. Letters directed to me post paid shall be attended to.

MR. EDITOR,
This beautiful little Scotch Ballad, from the pen of Mr. Hector McNeil, will probably be acceptable to readers of taste: Its insertion will oblige an old acquaintance.
THE WEE THING: OR MARY OF CASTLE CARY.
"Saw ye my wee thing? Saw ye mine ain thing? Saw ye my true love down on yon lea? Cross'd she the meadow Yestreen at the gleaming? Sought she the burnie, wha'r flow'rs the haw tree?
"Her hair it is lint white; Her skin it is milk white, Dark was the blue of her soft rolling ee, Red, red her ripe lips, And sweeter than roses— Whar cauld my wee thing wander frae me?"
"I saw na your wee thing, I saw na your ain thing, Nor saw I your true love down on yon lea: But I met my bonny thing, Late in the gleaming, Down by the burnie whar flowers the haw tree.
"Her hair it was lint white, Her skin it was milk white, Dark was the blue of her saft rolling ee; Red was her ripe lips, And sweeter than roses; Sweet war the kisses which she gae to me.
"It was nae my wee thing, It was nae my ain thing, It was nae my true love ye saw by the tree; Proud is her leel heart, Modest her nature! She never lood any, till once she lood me.
"Her name it is Mary, Ait has she sat when a bairn, on my knee. Fair as your face is, Was't fifty times fairer, Young bragger, she ne'er would gie kisses to thee."
"It was then your Mary, She's frae Castle Cary, It was then your true love I met by the tree, Proud as her heart is, And modest her nature, Sweet war the kisses which she gae to me.
Sair gloom'd his dark brow, Blood red his cheek grew, Wild flash'd the fire frae his red rolling ee; "Ye'se rue sair this morning, Your boasts and your scorning, DEFEND YE fause traitor, su loudly ye lie.
"Awa wi beguiling," Cried the youth, smiling,— Aft went the bonnet, the lint white locks flee, The belted plaid fa'ing, Her white bosom shawing, Fair stood the loy'd maid wi' the dark rolling ee'.
"Is it my wee thing? Is it mine ain thing? Is it my true love here that I see? O Jamie, forgive me; Your heart's constant to me; I'll never, never mair wander, dear laddie, Frae thee."
The following Extracts are made from an Oration delivered by WILLIAM TUDOR, Esquire, at Boston, on the ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
EXTRACTS.
"ENGLAND holds the naval power, and scours every sea, almost without finding an enemy. France marshals the continent in arms, and from the extremity of Italy to the gulph of Finland, moves the armies of Europe, at her discretion. Examine the parties engaged in this tremendous warfare; on one side, a nation not numerous, but brave; not warlike, but free; supporting incredible burthens, yet maintaining her freedom; contending not against ordinary defeat, but annihilation; yet agitated by the perpetual strife of parties, and subject to divided counsels. On the other, a great nation, composed of soldiers, passionately fond of military glory, and abounding in skilful generals; her whole force directed
by one man, who suffers no murmur of disobedience unpunished, or any hint of opposition, without disgrace. With not only these armies and these officers, but with 20 princes trembling at his power, and holding the lives and resources of their subjects at his command; still universal empire is not within his reach, till his enemy is destroyed. Defeat to one party, is destruction;—to the other, only a diminution of ill-gotten power.
"Who can hesitate on which side to wish success? Who, that has feeling, honor, or independence, that will not mingle his prayers with those, which from every corner of Europe, are hourly, though inaudibly, ascending to the Throne of Eternal Justice, to blast the common oppressor of mankind? If the British power were now destroyed, how long could Justice protect her remotest altar from profanation? How long would liberty be allowed a resting or a hiding place? This is the last barrier, between whatever people are unsubdued, and universal despotism: May it last to withstand the assaults of the storm, till the Genius who directs it, is himself overwhelmed by its fury.
"The British power, great as it fortunately is, does not form a permanent cause of alarm to other nations, because it contains within itself the seeds of its own decay. A re-establishment of the balance of power would restore peace, and after a few years of peace, half her ships would be rotten, half her experienced officers no more, while the same period would be creating & bringing forward the resources of her neighbor.
"It cannot be the desire of any man to be at war with France. She has the strongest guarantees that we wish to be at peace with her. The advantages we derive from a commercial intercourse, and the evils of war, are sufficient security, that we would preserve a state of amity, if no sacrifices of our independence are required. Yet she should not be allowed to proclaim us her allies; and to alledge that she plunders our merchants to second the views of our government. Do not let us, however, mistake a miserable spirit of enmity to individuals, nor the fostering unworthy national prejudices, for the political vigilance that is necessary. Let us appreciate justly the splendid traits of the French character, while we watch every motion of that ambitious government.
"The present sovereign of France, tho' he has lived only half the common age of man, is the most wonderful character that the world has ever produced. Immeasurably ambitious, indefatigably active, a consummate politician, a daring soldier, a splendid protector of the fine arts, he is greedy of every species of renown, and anxious to eclipse the splendor of ancient and modern times. His flatterers seldom talk now of his military exploits, but dwell upon his policy, his institutions, and his public works. To compare him with Alexander, Cesar, or Charles XII. is viewing only parts of his character. He directs the movements of his veteran armies, and suggests the measures of his intriguing cabinet. The acts of every department of government emanate from him, and every proposition is submitted to his revision. His generals or his ministers perish at his nod, and his senate and noblesse hold their existence at his will. He has planted himself in the middle of Europe, while his numerous branches spreading over tributary kingdoms, like those of the sacred tree of India, take root, and are all connected with the parent stock. He knows that after the bloody proscription of Sylla, the monster died in his bed, and that the clemency of Cesar cost him his life; he therefore never does a deed of mercy, but through policy, nor is ever turned by compunction, from an act of useful cruelty. He found the chariot of government drawn at random, with frantic, revolutionary vigor, while those who feebly held the reins were hurled from their places and trampled under foot: he vaulted into the seat, converted into a car of Victory, which, with sounding lash, and steady impetuosity, he drives over prostrate Europe.
"Some have supposed, judging him by other men, that conscience would haunt and distract him. Be not deceived—Ambition is not impeded a moment; the hour of conscience is not yet arrived. He has no leisure for conscience. The new map of Europe is not yet completed; some plans of conquest are yet unexecuted; some nations that have been overrun, are yet unsettled. If he be destined to sit in triumph on the conquered world; if the nations of Europe, accustomed to their chains, wear them without murmuring or reluctance; then, alas! too late for freedom, the mighty despot, with no other world to conquer, may find, instead of the charms of repose, the horrors of a guilty conscience."
Late Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, May 3.
Extract from the Register of the Conservative Senate, of April 19, 1809.
The conservative senate, being duly organized, and taking into consideration the communications that were made to them at the sitting on the 14th of this month, by the minister for foreign affairs, according to the orders of his majesty the emperor and king.
After having heard the report of a special committee appointed at that sitting.
Decree, that an address shall be presented to his majesty, in answer to the said communications, to the following effect:
"SIRE,
"THE senate is eager to offer to your imperial and royal majesty, the tribute of its respectful thanks, for the important communications which you have had the goodness to make to them.
"Austria, sire, marched its army into the territory of one of your allies. During the delirium in which it was enwrapped, it commenced the war which it had scarcely dared to declare.
"To preparation, so long conducted in mystery and in darkness, suspended by fear, or disavowed from perfidy, have succeeded that factious fury, those tumultuous agitations, those violent convulsions, which are the precursors of the fall of thrones.
"Perfidy, blindness, feebleness, error and presumption, silenced the voice of wisdom, and gave on the banks of the Inn, the signal for battle.
"Can they then, sire, have forgotten how often the fate of Austria was in your victorious hands?
"Master of Vienna and of the great part of the Austrian dominions; you had no idea of retaining the conquest; your magnanimity placed the crown on the head of Francis.
"He very soon forgot the lessons of experience; the victory of Jena disconcerted the projects of his perfidious counsellors, and the peace of Tilsit restored to their country 400,000 Frenchmen, who by a single word from you might have been united in the heart of his states.
"When your majesty quitted the walls of Erfurth for the banks of the Fagus, your delivering eagles, and invincible legions yet surrounded the Austrian frontiers. The generosity of your majesty did not allow you for a moment to doubt the sincerity of the protestations made by the cabinet of Vienna.
"And yet, sire, Austria, hastening to violate the promise she had made at Erfurth, raised the cry of war, and armed against her benefactor, and dragged from their peaceful firesides all classes of her subjects, the unhappy victims of foreign and corrupting gold. She allied herself to the enemy of the continent, and received him in the part which she possessed; and did not blush to entice and encourage the rebels of Spain, whom fanaticism had bewildered, and to abuse the juntas by the most fallacious promises—inflaming the minds of the ignorant and credulous multitude by relations the most ridiculous, and libels the most absurd: she refuses the mediation of the great and powerful ally of your majesty; rejected the double guarantee for the integrity of her territory, offered by France and Russia; declined to punish the insult offered to one of your consuls, the seizure of some of your Italian subjects; the assassination of two of your majesty's couriers, and the violation of their dispatches: she negotiated and ratified a strict alliance with Turkey and England; and compelled you to suspend your dread design against the enemy of all the misfortunes of Europe.
"And with what astonishment must posterity learn, that, whilst Austria was thus pursuing a conduct so perfidious, your majesty in your relations with her, had made no demand, raised no pretension, had heard no complaint; but that, in proof of a sentiment, so worthy admiration, of dispositions so pacific, and views so magnanimous, you proposed to break up the camps in Silesia, to disarm all the places in that province, and to grant all those other safeguards which the most jealous anticipations could claim; that you have never ceased to exhibit a moderation and patience which could in no other way be accounted for or justified, but by the immensity of your majesty's power; and that, in a letter to the emperor Francis, which will ever be memorable, you addressed these remarkable words—"If the proceedings of your majesty evince a confidence they will inspire it; the best policy in our days is that of sincerity and truth; inform me of your doubts and of the cause of your inquietude, and if I can reach the source of them, they shall be removed directly."
"You have desired, sire, to add to your phalanxes, thirty thousand Frenchmen of
the conscription of 1810, called on the year, and which did not equal the number of young Frenchmen required in the preceding.
"Your majesty also desires ten years of the conscripted, who for the last years have been denied the signal honor of surrounding the triumph of your majesty, in the midst of the triumphal guard, the name of which no remembrance of such noble destiny a glory so brilliant.
"The senate, sire, is eager to accomplish those wishes.
"Your majesty otherwise asks a bution from your people, to enable go and conquer England in the p Austria.
"The British government, which seeks to divert the storm with which threatened, has opened a volcano in they have lighted the flames that are sume the ally they seduced.
"The destiny of Austria is fixed few days and she will have ceased to to gratify the fury of England.
"Your majesty will then have ed, on an immovable basis, that com peace which will enable you to acco the constant objects of your wishes, your sublime conceptions, a maritime and the freedom and safety of the cou of Europe.
"Accept, sire, the vows of the people for your sacred person, the sion of their admiration and love, confidence, and homage, and fidelity senate, as well as its respect for your rial and royal majesty.

The emperor has ordered a ten d'armee to be formed, to cover the s frontiers of Germany—it is to be c ed by the king of Westphalia, and w sist of 70,000 men.
The following proclamation was p at Manheim, on the 27th of April:
"Charles Frederic, by the grace grand duke of Baden, &c.
"It is with the greatest grief that the peace, with Germany had begun joy after a long course of ruinous w bout to be again disturbed by the ho vasion of the confederacy of the Rhin
"The wounds which were opened late wars, are not closed: the evid their devastation yet exists; and th row that we now feel at the prospo renewal of them, is encouraged b formation that the chiefs of the A army have opened the war by invin people of the confederation of the R throw off the obedience due to their mate sovereigns, and to attach them to the Austrian party.
"If we hesitated to credit the autho ty of proclamations so contrary to the of nations, which tend to destroy the that unite the sovereign and the citiz the state, to interrupt the social order to introduce confusion and depravity had such confidence in the fidelity and shaken attachment of our dear subjects to be confident of the effect of such a tation.
"During a reign of sixty three years object of our paternal solicitude has b promote and confirm the public prosp to that end we have devoted all our and with success. Of this, it is not provinces only that are persuaded, subjects must have perceived, since were invited to our state, that their dear to our hearts, and it would be inju for a moment to doubt their fidelity attachment.
"We are, therefore, perfectly as that the subjects of the grand duchy of den will spurn foreign promises, or insidious allurements; and they will main firmly attached to their sacred d to their sovereign; and let them hope us, that under the auspices of provid and the aid of our august protector lies, the flames of war will be rem from our states, or at least exist there short time only.
"We invite our subjects to avoid litical discussion, more especially in places, that may have a tendency to discord or engender animosities.
"But, if, contrary to our expecta any of our subjects should behave piously, they will not escape the just pun ment of their crime and the abhorren their country."

KINGSTON, June 10.
Previous to his embarking major-general Carmichael issued the following:
"G. O. Head quarters, 4th June, 1809.
"The major-general commanding, on his departure for a particular service, cannot avoid expressing the most sensible regret at separating from any part of the army he had the honor to command, fully assured of the spirit and spirit of the whole, and convinced that they are all animated by an ardent desire for an opportunity of emulating those British troops, who have vanquished his majesty's enemies in other quarters of the globe.
"The major-general has endeavored, as far as the circumstances of the service would admit to take a portion of each corps, and to those whom he cannot have the happiness to take with him, he can only offer the consolation of a soldier, that of reflecting on the serious and important charge committed to them in the protection of this valuable part of his majesty's dominions; and the security of which he has no doubt of being fully insured as far as exertion and the most exemplary conduct can avail. The major general noticed with great pleasure the anxiety of many individuals to proceed with the expedition, at the same time he felt the most severe reluctance at not having it in his power to comply with their wishes and his own inclination.
"The alacrity evinced by all the departments, and every officer, non-commissioned officer, and soldiers in expediting the embarkation, affords a pleasing presage of what may be expected from their judgment and ardor.
"The French general has declared that "he was determined to defend his post to the last extremity; and the troops under his command partaking of his sentiments, he depended too much upon their bravery and attachment to doubt of success." The major general commanding thinks it perfectly sufficient to make this known to those who serve a good king and a just cause, and to bear in their recollection the illustrious Nelson's communication to the navy, "England expects every man to do his duty."
The Moselle brig, of 18 guns, capt. Boys, sailed yesterday morning for Santo Domingo, having under her protection the transport brigs Agness and Charwell. The brig Morne Fortune, Duclos, likewise belonging to the expedition, was unable to sail yesterday, not having a sufficient quantity of provisions, &c. on board, but was positively to proceed this morning.
The American brig Eliza, of Charleston, sailed from St. Jago de Cuba on the 28th ult. and from Port Antonio on the 7th inst. She has been detained at Port Royal by the Favorite sloop of war, of 18 guns captain Clement.

Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated May 27, 1809.
"This kingdom is nearly entirely free of the enemy, who has been driven to the necessity of escaping to Spain. Very sanguine hopes are entertained that this country is perfectly safe, so long as Austria is able to cope with the French power."
"No alteration has occurred in the state of our market; bread stuff continues to be the soul of what business the place affords—The price of other articles are nominal;—but as arrivals have partly subsided, the currency will acquire more steadiness, aided by the country being nearly entirely free from the enemy. No decision have yet taken place relative to cotton and tobacco. The government seems unwilling to bring the point to issue."
PHILADELPHIA, July 12.

Affairs of Spain.—The following article, translated from a late French paper, appeared in the Aurora.
MADRID, April 14.
The following general orders were published at the head quarters at Madrid, on the 2d instant:—
"His Catholic majesty conceives it his duty to make known that another and decisive victory was obtained at Medellin, on the 29th of March, by the first corps of the army commanded by the duke of Belluno (Victor) over the enemy under the command of general Cuesta.
"Ten thousand Spaniards were sabred upon the spot, and 4000 made prisoners by our light troops; the rest saved themselves as well as they could. All the artillery, twenty five pieces, 6 standards, have fallen into our hands; between 10 and 12,000 Spaniards were left on the field of battle. The greater part of the staff of Cuesta, and the superior officers, fell in this action; the Spanish general D. Francisco de Trias, as found desperately wounded, and lying among the slain.
"The army of Cuesta and part of that of Andalusia, are annihilated by this event.—Marshal Belluno (Victor) bestows the highest praise upon the generals and troops who have fought under him.
Our loss, compared with that of the enemy, would seem incredible, & in the whole affair, we lost but 300 men killed & wounded. Our advantage was owing to the impetuosity of our attacks, and the vigor with which they were sustained.
This victory secures the conquest of Andalusia, which in a very short time will be entirely occupied by our troops.
(Signed) "JOURDAN, Major General of his Catholic Majesty. "DAULTANNE, General of division of H. C. M. "KELLERMAN, Governor-General of Upper Spain."
The following is the funeral song which the Shawanee nation of Indians often sing by way of perpetuating the memory of their former chief, the eloquent Logan.—[Balt. American.]
"This is the song of the mighty Logan; the conqueror of white men; the pride of his nation and the beloved author of life.—He was good, valorous and warlike; the soul of his army, and the executor of vengeance. He was the light of our camp and villages. His hatchet was always raised up in their defence, and his bosom glowed with the love of his brethren.
"Logan, valiant and triumphant chief, may the great spirit, in whose defence you often warned, account with you in that land of souls, and give you a garden of beauty and harmony, and a pond of water like the moon in her full, on which the sun reflects his light, and around which the birds and beasts may delight to play!
"Young warriors of Logan's tribe, bear in view the honors he reaped when living, and the glorious recompence which awaits him dead! May the great spirit prosper his work, and never permit his enemies to be avenged of him! May his gardens flourish beyond theirs, and may the fountain of his waters have flavor and brightness, when theirs are putrid and dried up!
"Friends of Logan, mitigate your sorrow; remember his actions—improve by them—and let this song go down from child to child to commemorate his virtues and his worth!

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendent of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them.
He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavenger carts may take it away.
