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, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, May 31.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Fisk's Speech concluded.]
But there is one other argument, or perhaps, sir, I may more properly call it a remark, made by the gentleman in debate, one day last week, to shew his reasons for the aversion he feels to the late administration; and I was sorry to hear it. It was this: that if our government had accepted the treaty in 1806, we should have avoided all the evils we suffered under the embargo. I was sorry to hear this, but more so to hear the declaration which followed, and I do not believe the gentleman himself could on reflection entertain the opinion, "that this government would never get a better treaty." Are these declarations discreet and becoming an American, and intended to have a beneficial effect on that nation in the contemplated negotiation? Will the declaration that we cannot obtain a better treaty made at this time, and in this place, answer any valuable purpose—that we cannot get a better treaty, than that which in fact was no treaty at all, because it contained provision for violating it if the British government saw fit—a salvo repugnant to the feelings of every American; and the principal subject of dispute, the impressment of seamen, a subject of great interest and anxiety, was wholly omitted? What reason has this nation to believe that a better treaty will not be concluded? We shall have a better treaty, sir. I am warranted in saying that such will be the result—I will not question the sincerity of either government on this occasion, because I believe it to be the interest of both to form a treaty that will be acceptable to each. I am authorised to say, from the correspondence between Mr. Erskine and Mr. Smith, that we shall have a treaty which will be satisfactory and different from that of 1806—and what authority have I for this? It is said by the British minister that his majesty will send a minister, not to treat but "to conclude a treaty" on all the points of the relations between the two countries. This is sufficient to justify me in saying that all the points in difference or at issue between the two countries will be settled.
But there was one other remark, and the gentleman urged it as though he was really serious. Although among the last he made, it was not the least extraordinary. I had heard it made before I came to this house, but though it was intended merely to answer electioneering purposes, and not believed by those who made it. It was to this effect: that the present prospect, so far, was the result of the exertions of the MINORITY in this country and particularly in Congress. I never did believe that gentlemen who claimed this as due to the exertions of the minority were or could be serious; and, when I heard it thrown out on this floor since, it could not but remind me of the fly placed on the chariot wheel, exclaiming, "Lo! what a dust we flies make!" It is really surprising to me, and I am willing to confess it, though it may not be novel to those (and there are many) who have more experience in legislation than I have, how a minority can control the majority. It is the first time that ever I heard a minority in a representative government claim the merit of a system which that minority, call themselves federalists, "ultra or citra," "federalists," protestors or what not, opposed, to the extent of their ability. It is repugnant to the very meaning of the term ( minority ) in the English language. For a moment let me ask you, sir, what system did they advise? Even the last measure adopted on the subject of our foreign relations, viz. the non-intercourse law, was opposed by them; and really, among the comparisons with which the gentleman from Virginia enlightens the members of this house, I recollect one in relation to that bill, in which he said that it reminded him of the man who had invented a method of
"letting off his gun by degrees." He not only disapproved the measure but ridiculed it. Who adopted the measure, sir? Who, had it proved disastrous, would have been called to account for it? The minority? No, sir; the majority. In all popular governments and assemblies there will be minorities. There were minorities in our revolution; but after our independence was achieved, we did not hear them claim the honor of it. There was a minority in the convention which framed the constitution of the United States; but we have not heard this minority say that it was owing to their exertions that this charter of our liberties was adopted. Really, sir, as it strikes my mind, an argument of this kind scarcely merits an attempt at serious refutation. Let me ask, sir, did the minority elect Mr. Jefferson? Did they or the protestors elect Mr. Madison? The gentleman said, I recollect, that he does not consider the president as the administration. Do the minority constitute it then? With whom are treaties formed? With the majority or minority? With the administration or with individuals? It really appears to me that the gentleman cannot urge this claim again; and I should not have made these remarks, if it had not been one of the most extraordinary assertions which I ever recollect to have been made on the floor of this house.
Another reason assigned by the gentleman for his opposition, was, that the present state of things was owing to a change of measures. And quoted one of Moliere's best comedies " nous anons changee tout cela ."—[Mr. Randolph said that the gentleman's French was neither his French nor Moliere's French.] What I understood the gentleman to mean (said Mr. Fisk) was "We have changed all that." Now, sir, were he to say they (the British government) have changed the state of things, I should not object to it, be it whose French it may. And as an evidence that there was no change of disposition on our part, I refer to the message of the President, if his opinion be deserving of any weight in the estimation of the gentleman from Virginia. He says that "he cannot do less than refer to the proposal heretofore made on the part of the U. States, embracing a like restoration of the suspended commerce, as a proof of the spirit of accommodation which has at no time been intermitted, and to the result which now calls for our congratulations as corroborating the principles by which the public councils have been guided during a period of the most trying embarrassments."
Lord Grenville in corroboration acknowledged that the same offer was made in August last. But, says the gentleman, the state of things is not now the same as when that offer was made, and Great-Britain has better terms. I will not attempt to examine at length the propriety of the gentleman's reasoning—but if she has better terms, it is owing to us? Is it because the aggressions of France required us to place that nation on the same footing with Great-Britain in relation to us, or that we have changed to accommodate England? At the time the embargo was laid, French depredations was not gone to that length to which they afterwards extended; at that time she had not burnt our ships or imprisoned our citizens as she afterwards did. And shall it be stated as matter of complaint against us, that we found it necessary to adopt this measure with respect to France, and place her on an equal footing with Great-Britain; and that Great-Britain, in consequence of this, altered her system towards us? Shall it be said that we placed her on a better footing, and that the change in our relations is attributable to a change of sentiment in this government? The argument is not correct. If she stands on a better footing now, it is not owing to a change which we have made, but to a change in the French system, and an alteration in her own; and shall we not resist the French government because, if Great-Britain should see fit to accept the terms she has once refused, it would place her in a better situation. Yet this seems to be the principal reason assigned for opposing the resolution as amended. This argument of the gentleman then does not operate with sufficient force to induce me to reject the proposed amendment, or to adopt his motion.
Although, sir, I am opposed to voting on this resolution in any other manner than indefinite postponement, it is not from any objection to the conduct of the present or last administration. I do believe that passing the resolution would establish a precedent which would be productive of the most injurious consequences, and I think that we ought to look with a single eye to our constitutional duties, and as seldom as possible to go out of the plain path pointed out by the constitution. And for these considerations I am opposed to it. I believe it a measure altogether unnecessary in the present situation of the nation, not required by
our political relations at home or abroad, and out of the line of our duty as legislators; and unless compelled by necessity, I will not vote on this or any similar resolution in any other manner than that it shall be indefinitely postponed.

[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
[CONCLUDED.]
NON-INTERCOURSE ACT. —Amendment permitting armed vessels of both France and England, under consideration.
Mr. Gold. This amendment, as to England, our state of amicable negotiation will justify its provision as proper; but as to France, we see no such amicable disposition manifested to make it apply to her, and I fear we will not. What does this bill propose? That there shall be a non-intercourse in commerce, as it regards France, yet her armed ships, her public vessels are to be admitted into our waters. Is it consistent with the ground taken on the last session of Congress, for excluding armed vessels? That ground was not taken on account of violence committed by such in our waters, but upon the ground of commercial non-intercourse; to exclude all nations having in force orders or edicts in violation of our commercial rights; and this had a like common application to both belligerents.—To admit the armed national shipping of a nation and exclude her mercantile shipping will present a perfect anomaly.—The only ground which can guard us against the charge of partiality to foreign nations is to have a broad principle of action which we must not deviate from. But if this amendment is adopted, it will be an abandonment of that impartial principle we enacted at last session of Congress; I will patiently hear gentlemen state why we do not come under the imputation of submission, when we abandon that principle we
so boldly upheld against France in the exclusion of her armed vessels.
Mr. Love. I am of opinion with the gentleman just sat down, if the amendment could be viewed as submission to France we should reject it; but I think it is but justice to France and England in our present state of foreign affairs. When we enacted the measure of exclusion, it was not considered an act of hostility to either nation, but an act of impartial restriction and justice towards ourselves. It was urged as a precursor to negotiation by G. Britain, not that we should act hostily to France, but that we should place both nations on an equality, and we did so: now apply the principle at the present session to France. The gentleman contended that the interdict should be continued against France and discontinued with England, but this might lead to a war with the former power.—I would now ask what act has France done to merit this severity from us? But we are not in the same relation with France that we were last session; it is intimated that ameliorations are about to take place in her decrees; we have a knowledge of sundry vessels being liberated in her ports; and a proclamation of the king of Holland, a dependent upon France, shews a return of regard for neutral rights: We should not widen the breach: Besides, we are not sure that even the British government will fulfill its engagements to the extent we were given to expect. I have no doubt but the offers made here were sincere, but when we consider they were predicated upon occurrences in Europe, may not other occurrences produce a change in the quality of her overtures. It has been said the interdict of last session was intended to operate on all nations alike. I wish it had: but it only respected the two great belligerents, and I wish to see our differences settled before this interdict is removed, but if removed at all, towards both belligerents alike. Indeed, I am assured that France will rescind her orders; they were enacted to injure the commerce of Britain; and their perseverance in now would but assist her.—Nay, I think the decrees say, that they shall cease whenever Great Britain abandons her unjust principles, and returns to a sense of respect for neutral rights.
Mr. Livermore. The proposed amendment is a matter of considerable delicacy: here is a negotiation going on with England, when we were supposed to be on the eve of a war, and when this measure is supposed to rest with the executive, we should not interfere with to change the nature of it by our legislation. At the late session of Congress it was said if we submit to illegal decrees, it would be an abandonment of national honor: What were we to do? Have resort to war, no; yet something must be done; and a non-intercourse law was produced—it speaks for itself—it was considered a hostile measure against both France and England; but it authorised the President, if either of those nations should rescind their decrees or orders, this hostile measure would be revoked as regarded them? but would it be contended that when one did so, this revocation applied as related to both. I wish gentlemen to consider whether there are not two parties to this, Great Britain and the United States. This restriction was viewed as a HOSTILE MEASURE, acting against BOTH THE COUNTRIES in question, to cease on the rescinding of either of their unlawful acts, as related to them. The President informs us G. B. has annulled hers, and that it must cease as relates to her, this is the fact—then as G. Britain made this stipulation on the faith of our law, would she not, as part of her bargain, insist that our interdict should continue against France, as such interdict would be advantageous to her, until France, according to the law, should rescind her decrees. The gentleman who spoke last, was afraid to offend our sister France—and indeed, I believe this was a measure meant to soothe her. The gentleman asks what has France done? The decree of Berlin itself, was a sufficient justification, if not of war, of the interdict intended to be repealed by this act. I do not know but G. B. may break off the negotiation on this ground, and I am unwilling to disturb the harmony likely to ensue, by such a measure as that contemplated, and will vote against the amendment.
Mr. Randolph. This law appears to be a very flimsy coverlid to our national nakedness. A proposition is made, lest obscurity should arise, to admit the armed ships of France and Great Britain, and to this I will give my negative. I understood the inhibition of last session was to repel the outrages of the belligerents, though I confess I am no friend to attacking 74 gun ships with paper. France has still in force her edicts authorising the capture of our ships bound to or from England or even spoken to by a British man of war, and lest she should not have opportunities enough
to predate on us we will open our ports for her succor and extend to her the rights of hospitality, that after they recruit they may go out and will take our vessels at the very mouth of our harbors. Though I don't think a contrary conduct to this would ever keep out the Patriot, or other ship, yet I am unwilling to give them the right and title to enter. I wish to see when the relaxations on the part of France can authorize this relaxation on our part. What does the 11th section of the non-intercourse law say? That when either power shall rescind her restrictions as they relate to us, we will rescind ours as they relate to her: this is now our situation: and it is proposed to change this situation by expressly admitting the ships of G. Britain and France into our ports and harbors; so that while the President of the U. States has very wisely and very properly changed the situation of relations between this country and G. Britain, we are to change it with respect to France so as to keep the balance even between both. Suppose the first relaxation had come from France and the President had suspended restrictions with respect to her, what would be said, if we would extend this relaxation to G. Britain to preserve a balance between the one who had and the one who had not come upon terms? I want to see the relaxations of France, that authorize our relaxations towards her; or why we should admit her armed ships and exclude her merchantmen. I must not be understood as wishing a war with France. I would as strongly oppose a measure of that kind as I did in '98, '99, 1800, and as I did last session a war with England; but situated as we are with respect to France it will be highly improper to pass a law opening our ports to French vessels, when in a week after our adjournment we may have accounts that the great Emperor, taking umbrage at our acts, had declared war; and it is to hear some tidings from France which may govern our deliberations that I am for a more protracted session, & not be put out of these walls, before the 4th of July, to be taken possession of by strangers, to pollute them by their libations; I look upon this to be public property, and no one possessing a right to occupy it but by a vote of this house.—I shall listen with pleasure to any gentleman who will shew the necessity, after all that passed last session, of the matter at this time.
Mr. F. G. Jackson. It will be recollected I had on a former occasion stated it would be more compatible with our dignity to prohibit the admission of armed vessels of all nations, but gentlemen think that under present circumstances, on the tapis of negotiation, when every measure is liable to perversion, it would be best to pursue the present policy, and it was on these suggestions that I made the amendment to obviate any difficulties of construction. Gentlemen oppose it without drawing a distinction—do they wish the armed vessels of all nations to be excluded? In answer to the gentleman from Va. the present amendment is not an authoritative admission—we merely remove the exclusive power. I am unwilling to reply to the arguments of abandoning the principles of last session, and such like, not because I am afraid to meet them or not prepared to confute them, but because I have no disposition to resuscitate the feelings of that day, which should under present circumstances, be buried forever.
On motion of Mr. Smilie the committee rose reported progress and got leave to sit again, when Mr. Rhea (Penn.) made a report on the contested election of Wm. Baylies, and before the reading was finished, there not being a quorum, the house adjourned.

A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED
ABAELLINO,
THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis.

RAN AWAY, from the subscribers, two Slaves, named BILLY and NELLY.—Billy is a mulatto man, and sometimes calls himself WILLIAM JORDAN AUGUSTUS—his color nearly as light and approaches that of a white man, his hair is straight and he generally wears it platted and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin and his cheek bones high—he has been bro't up in the house and is a very good dining, room servant, is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight built, his constitution is not very strong and he is subject to indisposition—he is about 30 years of age.
NELLY is tall and rather inclined towards corpulency, a tawney color and about forty-five years of age.
They went off together as man and wife, but it is very probable Billy will attempt to pass as a white man and will endeavor to sell Nelly as his slave.
The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and securing of the said Slaves, if taken up on the north side of the river Potomac, and information given thereof to their respective proprietors. A reasonable reward will be given if taken within the state of Virginia, and reasonable charges will be paid if brought home.

Valuable Property for Sale.
Pursuant to a deed of trust made by ELISHA JANNEY to the subscriber for the benefit of his creditors, will be exposed to public sale, before the tavern door of Zachariah Ward, in the town of Occoquan, at twelve o'clock, on FRIDAY, the twenty-first of next month—
That valuable MILL-SEAT,
the property of the said Janney, situate in the said town of Occoquan. On this site was erected, about ten years ago, a spacious three story brick mill house, which ever since has been occupied as a manufacturing mill until about five weeks ago it was destroyed by fire: the stone work of the mill and a considerable part of the brick work still stands and would be found sufficiently substantial to erect new work upon it—considerable part of the iron work would also answer for a new mill, which might with these aids be erected in time to grind the growing crop of wheat. The advantages appertaining to this valuable property which in the driest season never wants water, are so generally known as hardly to need a particular enumeration. Suffice it to state, that it is situated in a healthy and flourishing little town at the falls of Occoquan river, about 16 miles south of Alexandria, on the great stage road leading from north to south, in the heart of a fine wheat country, and has navigable tide water to the mill door where vessels may come of sufficient burthen to carry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.
ALSO,
At the same time and place will be exposed to sale,
The TANYARD and the Improvement thereon, which are calculated for the carrying on the tanning business to advantage and on a large scale, together with the stock of Leather, &c. on hand.
ALSO,
Will be exposed for sale, at the same time and place,
One undivided Moiety of a Tract of Land, containing about 500 acres, situate on the north side of the Occoquan river, very valuable from the quantity of fine timber which it contains.
Terms of sale for the real property will be—Ten per cent on the purchase money payable within 60 days by negotiable notes well endorsed—for the residue a credit will be given of one, two and three years on equal payments. A deed of trust upon the property to secure the payments will be required.
For further particulars, those who may desire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Ellicott, at Occoquan, or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill, near Alexandria.

The following highly valuable MEDICINE Price 3 dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S
NATURE'S RESTORATIVE,
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have coplaned every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO,
Dr. Tiffot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting effort to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.
