Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE. Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Monte, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, loosely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents. A black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? As I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Count, thou dreadful Minister of Hell. RICHARD III. Notice to this excellent Romance; we only remark, that the Grand Dramatic which for several seasons past drew all houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; and acknowledged superiority of Lewis's or translations in the Romance style, is far superior to any other of our mo- dern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary to the publishers. Five editions of this Romance were in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, Lewis.

PUBLIC AUCTION. To be sold, at public auction, at Northum- berland court house, in the county of Nor- thumberland, 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 under- stood, 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 car- riage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Ba- limore, Alexandria, and the city of Wash- ington; 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 shown to persons in- clining 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 Philadel- phia.

AN ACT
Concerning Slaves, Free Negroes and Mulattoes, and for other purposes.
WHEREAS by the first section of an act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the twenty-seventh day of February, in the year one thousand eight hundred and one, entitled, "An act concerning the district of Columbia," it is declared that the laws of the State of Virginia as they then existed, shall be and continue in force in that part of the district of Columbia which was ceded by the said state to the U. States. And whereas several laws passed by the general assembly of the said state of Virginia previous to the said twenty-seventh day of February, in the year one thousand eight hundred and one, concerning slaves, free negroes & mulattoes, were, on the said twenty-seventh day of February, in the year one thousand eight hundred and one, in force in the said state of Virginia.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Common Council of the town of Alexandria, That it shall be the duty of the mayor of the said town; and of each of the constables in the said town, to cause the said laws of Virginia to be strictly executed within the limits of the said town.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the mayor shall require the said constables and it shall be their duty once in every three months to report to him the names of every free negro or mulatto residing within the limits of the corporation including in their said report the time when such negro or mulatto removed to the town, and from what place he or she last came, & whether such negro or mulatto hath any certificate of freedom, and to enable the said constables to perform the duty hereby assigned them the mayor is hereby required to cause the said lists to be taken by wards, & to assign to each constable his respective ward, which lists thus returned to the mayor he shall lay before the common council, which is to be kept safely by the clerk thereof, and upon such report being made as aforesaid by the said constables to the mayor, he is hereby required to cause without delay the said laws of Virginia to be strictly carried into execution against any free negro or mulatto who shall appear to him to come within the true meaning and intent of the said laws of Virginia.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, that every negro or mulatto now residing within the limits of the corporation and claiming a right to his or her freedom, shall file with the clerk of the common council an authentic copy of his or her certificate of freedom, within one month after the passing of this act, & every negro or mulatto claiming his or her freedom and who shall hereafter acquire in the manner herein after directed, a right to reside within the limits of the corporation shall file a like copy of his or her certificate with the clerk aforesaid within twenty days after obtaining such right of residence; and every negro or mulatto claiming his or her freedom, neglecting to file such copy of his or her certificate of freedom within the periods herein before stated, shall be treated by the mayor in the manner directed by the aforesaid laws of Virginia—and to enable the mayor duly to execute the aforesaid laws as to such negro or mulatto who shall neglect to file the copy of the certificate aforesaid, within the period aforesaid, with the clerk of the council, it shall be the duty of the clerk to return to the mayor once in every month, a list of the names of such negroes or mulattoes who may have left with him copies of their certificate.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That any free negro or mulatto obtaining a licence in the manner by this act herein after directed under the seal of the corporation and filing an authentic copy with the clerk of the Common Council, shall, after obtaining and filing the same, be permitted to reside within the limits of the corporation so long as such free negro or mulatto shall behave and conduct himself in a quiet, honest and orderly manner to be judged of by the mayor, who shall cause such licence to be revoked upon such negro or mulatto being convicted before him of disorderly, riotous or dishonest conduct and practices, and upon such licence being revoked as aforesaid such negro or
mulatto shall be treated in the same manner as if such licence had not been granted.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That to enable any free negro or mulatto to obtain a licence of residence aforesaid, such negro or mulatto shall produce and lay before the Common Council authentic evidence of his or her right to freedom, also the affidavit of two credible white citizens of the town of Alexandria, or of two credible white citizens of any one of the United States whose characters are known to any member of the Common Council or to the mayor to be respectable, that they have known the applicant for at least twelve months previous to the date of such affidavit, and that during that period the said applicant hath behaved him or herself in an orderly and honest manner, and that he hath not known or heard, or hath reasonable cause to believe, that such applicant has been at any time guilty of any riotous, disorderly or dishonest conduct, or that the said applicant hath been obliged to leave his or her last place of residence in consequence of any disorderly, riotous or dishonest conduct.
Sec. 6. Be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the mayor to require the constables to return to him the names of such slaves as are permitted by their masters, mistresses or owners to go at large and trade as freemen within the limits of the corporation; and also to return to the mayor a list of such slave as shall be permitted by his master, owner, or employer, to go at large and hire him or herself out within the limits of the corporation, and the mayor, upon receiving such returns, shall without delay cause the laws passed by the general assembly of Virginia prohibiting slaves going at large and trading as free men or hiring themselves out to be duly executed—and every master, mistress, or owner, who shall permit his or her slaves to go at large and trade as a freeman within the limits of the corporation, or who shall permit his or her slave to go at large and hire him or herself out within the limits of the corporation shall forfeit and pay the sum of twenty dollars to the use of the corporation for each slave so trading or hiring him or herself out, to be recovered by warrant before the mayor, and if after such conviction such slave shall be found again going at large and trading, or again going at large and hiring him or herself out, the master or owner shall be again liable to the like penalty, to be recovered as aforesaid, and so often after conviction as such slave shall be found so going at large and trading or hiring him or herself out.
Sec. 7. Be it further enacted, That every free negro, mulatto, or slave, who shall be within the limits of the corporation engaged in playing at any game of cards or dice, whether for money or for any article or not, or other unlawful game, or who shall bet money or other article upon such game, or who shall be present as one of the company engaged in playing or betting, or in any way aiding or assisting at the same, such free negro, mulatto, or slave, upon conviction thereof before the mayor, shall forfeit and pay to the corporation, for each offence, if a free negro or mulatto, the sum of ten dollars, and if he is not able to pay the same, then he shall receive ten lashes on his or her bare back at the public whipping post, to be well laid on, or if a slave, he or she shall receive the like number of lashes, in like manner, unless his or her master, mistress, or employer will pay the aforesaid penalty of ten dollars.

For the purpose of carrying the said law into full effect and execution within the limits of the corporation of Alexandria, Be it therefore further enacted, That the constables of the town of Alexandria, or any one of them, shall be and they are hereby empowered and required upon discovering any such vagrant or vagrants within the limits of the corporation, to give information thereof to the mayor, or to any justice of the peace for the county of Alexandria, and the mayor upon receiving such information is hereby required to issue his warrant for apprehending such vagrant or vagrants, to be brought before him, and if upon due examination it shall appear to the mayor that the person or persons are within the true description of a vagrant as herein before mentioned, he shall by warrant under his hand order such vagrant or vagrants to be employed in labor for any term not exceeding three months, and for that purpose he shall cause such vagrant or vagrants to be delivered over to one of the constables to

VIA NEW-YORK.
TWENTIETH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 20th June, 1809.
Within an hour after the news of the victory of Raab arrived at Buda, the empress and all those attached to the government left this city.
The army of the enemy was pursued during the 15th and 16th. It crossed the Danube by the bridge of Comorn.
The city of Raab is invested. We hope to be masters of that important fortress in a few days.
Considerable magazines have been found in the suburbs.
The superb entrenched camp at Raab, which can contain 100,000 men was carried. The column which was intended to defend it was unable to reach it; its retreat was cut off.
A courier from Buda has been intercepted. His dispatches written in Latin, shew the effect which the battle of Raab produced.
The enemy circulate false news throughout the whole country; this is part of the system adopted to stir up the lower classes of the people.
Mr. Metternich left Vienna on the 18th. He is to be exchanged between Comorn and Buda, with Mr. Dodum and the other members of the French embassy.
Mr. D'Epinay, an orderly officer to his majesty, is arrived from Petersburg. He visited the head quarters of the Russian army.
Prince Serge Galitzen entered Galicia on the 3d instant in three columns: viz. that of general Levis by Drohyczin; that of prince Gotszakoff by Therespol, and that of prince Suwarrow by Wlodzimierz.
TWENTY-FIRST BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 22d June, 1809.
An aid-de-camp to prince Joseph Poniatowski is arrived from head-quarters of the army of the Grand Duchy. On the 10th of this month prince Serge Galitzin was to be at Lublin and his van-guard at Sandomir.
The enemy is pleased to spread ephemeral bulletins, in which he every day relates a victory. According to his assertion, he took 20,000 muskets and 2000 curasses at the battle of Essling. He says that on the 21st and 22d he was master of the field of battle. He has even caused a print of that battle to be engraved and spread about; he exhibited in it striding from one to the other, and his batteries crossing the islands and the field of battle in every direction.
He also imagines a battle which he calls the battle of Kitsee (1) in which an immense number of Frenchmen are supposed to have been taken or killed. These puerilities, hawked about by small columns of landwehrs like that of Schill, are tactics employed for the purpose of destroying and raising the country.
Gen. Marziani, who was made prisoner at the battle of Raab, is arrived at the head quarters. He says that from the battle of the Piave, the archduke John had lost two thirds of his men; that he afterwards received recruits who nearly filled up the rolls, but who do not know how to make use of their muskets. He rates 12,000 men the loss of the archduke John and of the Palatine at the battle of Raab. According to the report of the Hungarian prisoners, the archduke Palatine was the first in that battle to take flight.
Some persons have attempted to put in opposition the strength of the Austrian army at Essling, estimated at 90,000 men, with the 80,000 men who have been made prisoners since the opening of campaign; they have shown little reflection. The Austrian army took the field with 9 corps of 40,000 men each, and there were in the interior of the corps both returns and landwehrs; so that Austria had really upwards of 400,000 men under arms. From the battle of Austerlitz until after the taking of Vienna, comprising Italy and Poland, we may have taken 100,000 prisoners from the enemy, and he lost 100,000 men in killed, deserted or missing. There must then have remained 200,000 men more distributed as follows: The archduke John had at the battle of Raab 50,000 men. The principal Austrian army had, before the battle of Essling 90,000 men. There remained 25,000 men to the archduke Ferdinand at Warsaw, and 25,000 men were disseminated in the Tyrol, in Croatia, and spread as partisans over the confines of Bohemia.
(1) Kitsee is upon the right bank of the Danube, a league in the interior of the country.
The Austrian army at Essling consisted of the first corps commanded by gen. Belle-garde, the only one which had not fought and which was still entire, and of the wrecks of the 2d, the 3d, the 4th, the 5th and the 6th corps, which had been crushed in the preceding battles. If these corps had lost nothing and had been united such as they were at the commencement of the campaign, they would have formed 240,000 men. The enemy had no more than 90,000 men, thus we see how enormous are the losses which he had experienced.
When the archduke John took the field, his army consisted of the 8th and 9th corps, forming 80,000 men. At Raab it consisted of 50,000 men. Its loss would then have been 30,000 men. Ant in these 50,000 men were comprised 15,000 Hungarians of the insurrection. Its loss, therefore, was really of 45,000 men.
The archduke Ferdinand had entered Warsaw with the 7th corps forming 40,000 men. It is reduced to 25,000. Its loss is, therefore, of 15,000 men.
We see how these different calculations support and verify each other.
The viceroy beat at Raab 50,000 men with 30,000 Frenchmen.
At Essling 90,000 men were beaten and kept in check by 30,000 Frenchmen, who would have completely routed and destroyed them, had it not been for the event of bridges, which produced the want of ammunition.
The great efforts of Austria have been the result of the paper currency, and of the resolution which the Austrian government took to risk all. In the danger of bankruptcy which might have brought on a revolution, they preferred adding 500 millions to the mass of their paper currency, and to make a last effort to get it discounted by Germany, Italy and Poland. It is very probable that this reason had more influence than any other upon their determination.
Not a single French regiment has been drawn from Spain, except the imperial guards.
Gen. count Lauriston continues the siege of Raab with the greatest activity. The city has been already burning for 24 hours, and that army which gained at Essling so great a victory, that it took 20,000 muskets and 2000 cuirasses; that army which, at the battle of Kitsee killed so many men and made so many prisoners, that army which, according to its apocryphal bulletins, obtained such great advantages at the battle of Raab, quietly sees its principal towns besieged and burned and Hungary inundated with parties, and makes the empress, its ministers, all the valuable effects of his government be carried off to the frontiers of Turkey and to the farthest extremities of the empire.
An Austrian major took a fancy to cross the Danube in two boats, at the mouth of the Marsch. Gen. Gilly-Vieux went to meet him with a few companies, threw him into the water and took from him 40 prisoners.

MR. SNOWDEN,
Reading the news of the County of Warwick, England, I find the following:
"Lately at the quarter sessions of Warwick, a miscreant, named Tonks, was sentenced to be imprisoned three months, and publicly whipped, for ill treating a horse: a punishment that seems well calculated to check the offence in future. It is painful to reflect on the abuse and cruelty practised daily upon this useful, generous, and noble animal."
Should you deem the above extract worthy of insertion in your paper, it may per-adventure, produce some mitigation of the cruelties daily exercised by some of their merciless drivers.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rub- bing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
