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 shown 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.

ABSENCE.
Ill omen'd morn! though nature's loveliest charms Burst on creation like the bloom of spring, Though yon bright orb the op'ning land- scape warms. And with the lark's shrill note the valleys ring;
Yet with no rapt'rous glance the dawn I had: Tho' rob'd in all that summer's pride can yield, Still unrefreshing breathes the balmy gale, And unregarded smiles the verdant field
What thus my bosom's wonted peace de- stroys? What lowering cloud of sorrow intervenes, To draw a veil o'er life's serene joys, And blast the prospect of these fairy scenes?
ABSENCE! 'tis thy keen pang I'm doom'd to prove, And nature smiles in vain—depriv'd of her I love.
TO A LADY'S KID GLOVE.
Go, virgin kid, with lambent kiss, Salute a virgin's hand; Go, senseless glove, and reap a bliss, Thou dost not understand.
Securely may'st thou touch the fair, Which few securely can; May press her cheek, her lips and hair, And wanton with her fan.
May soach it with her to and fro, To masquerades and plays; Ah! could'st thou hither come and go, And tell me what she says.
Go, kid, and when the morning cold Shall nip her lily arms, Do thou, oh dare I be so bold, With kisses make it warm.
Miscellaneous Reflections.
Virtue is never more safe than when it is afraid to appear upon the theatre of the world, where it is too much exposed to va- nity. All other vices are propagated by vices; but vanity subsists and grows by the show we make of virtue.
We do not always converse with men of reason to learn what we ought to do; but it is good to learn sometimes of others what we ought to avoid.
All men would be happy; but the great- est part of our life is spent in seeking after happiness, and frequently it so falls out that we know not where to fix.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
Between the ministers of France and Aus- tria, prior to the commencement of hosti- lities.
[CONTINUED.]
No. 10.
Dispatch, addressed to gen. Andreossy (the French ambassador at the court of Vienna) on the 16th of August, 1808, by count de Champagny.
MR. AMBASSADOR—
His majesty the emperor, on his return from a journey into the interior of France, arrived at St. Cloud on the night of the 14th and on the 15th the day of his FETE, he re- ceived with the usual solemnity, the princes, ministers and high officers of the empire, the senate, the council of state, the whole corps of public functionaries and lastly the diplo- matic corps. The audience given to the di- plomatic corps was remarkable for a very long conversation between his majesty and the Austrian ambassador, of which I wish to give you at least the substance.
"Austria, then, wishes for war," said the emperor, "or does she wish to frighten us?" M. de Metternich protested that the inten- tions of his court were pacific—"If that is the case, why your immense preparations?" "They are purely defensive," replied M. de Metternich—"but who attacks you that you think of defending yourselves? Who threat- ens you, that you think you will soon be at- tacked? Is not every thing peaceful on our side? has there been the least dispute be- tween you and me since the peace of Pres- burg? Have I made any pretensions that arm you? Have not all our relations been extremely amicable? And yet you have all disquieted once raised a cry of alarm; you have put in motion the whole of your population;—
your princes have traversed your provinces, and your proclamations call out the people to the defence of your country. Your pro- clamations and measures are such as you employed when I was at Leoben. If it was merely a new organization that you were making; it would be effected more slowly; without noise or expence; without exciting at home so prodigious a ferment and abroad so lively an alarm. But your measures are not purely defensive; you have added to each of your regiments a force of 1300 men —your militia will give you a disposable force of 400,000 men; those men will be drafted into regiments and exercised, a part of them is now clothed: your fortresses are provisioned, and lastly, what is to me a proof that you are preparing to begin a war, you have purchased horses, altho' you have at this moment, 14,000 artillery horses—in the midst of peace we do not incur such e- normous expences. To men whom you call out to exercise, you grant a pecuniary in- demnification; you have clothed a part and you have furnished them with arms: nothing of all this could have been done but at very great expence, and yet you all agree that your finances are in a miserable condition; your exchange, before so low is now lower; and your commercial operations have suf- fered. Can it be supposed that you would expose yourselves to all these inconvenienc- es and embarrassments without an object?
"Do not say that you have been compel- led to provide for your safety. You must acknowledge that all our relations have been amicable—you know that I ask nothing from you, that I make no claim to any thing you have, and also that I regard the preservation of your power in its actual condition as use- ful to the system of Europe, and to the in- terests of France. I have encamped my troops to keep them in vigor and exercise; they cannot be encamped in France because it is too expensive there; they are encamp- ed in foreign countries where the expence is less. My camps have been fixed in differ- ent directions; none of them threatened you. I would not have encamped, had I any hostile views towards you. In the excess of my confidence and security, I dismantled the fortresses of Silesia. Most certainly I would not have had camps, if I had any i- dea that they could alarm you; a single word from you would have dissuaded me from forming them. I am ready to break them up, if you think that it is necessary to your safety.
M. de Metternich having remarked, that there had been no movements of troops in Austria; the emperor replied:—
"You are mistaken: you have withdrawn your troops from quarters where they were maintained at less expence; you have con- centrated them upon Cracovia; you have placed yourselves in a condition to menace Silesia at pleasure; your army is united, and it has taken a military position. Yet what do you expect? Do you think to frighten me? You will not be able to do it. Do you imagine circumstances are favorable for you? If you do you are deceived. My po- lities are open and frank, because they are loyal, and because I possess the love of my soldiers. I will withdraw the 100,000 men from Germany and send them into Spain, yet I will be a match for you. Arm, and I will arm; and if necessary, raise 200,000 men more. You have no continental pow- er to assist you. I would almost dare to tell you, in the name of the emperor of Russia that he will require you to remain at peace. He is already not well pleased at your re- lations with the Servians—he has as much reason to suppose himself menaced by your preparations, as I have to suppose myself threatened—and he suspects that you have views upon Turkey. You may suppose that I also have views on Turkey—I declare that it is unfounded and that I want no hing from Turkey, nothing from Austria.
And yet your emperor does not wish for war—I believe him—I confide in the pro- mise he gave me at our interview. He can have no resentment against me. I was in possession of his capital and of the great- er part of his provinces—nearly all was re- stored to him—I kept Venice solely to pre- vent any cause for discord, any pretence for war. Do you think that a conqueror of the French armies, and in possession of Paris, would have acted with so much moderation.
No, your emperor does not desire war— your ministry does not wish for it—the most distinguished men of your monarchy do not desire it, and yet the movements you have made have been such that war will follow, in spite of you and me. You have created a belief that I demanded some of your pro- vinces—and your people, from a national and generous impulse, that I am far from blaming, are indignant—their indignation is carried to excess and they run to arms. You issued a proclamation forbidding your people to talk of war, but your proclama- tion was vague, it was considered as a mea- sure of policy—and as your measures were
in opposition to your proclamation, your measures have been regarded and not your proclamation. Thence the insult given to my consul at Trieste, by your new militia—thence the assassination of three of my couriers proceeding to Dalmatia. Should there be any more such insults, war will be inevitable—for we may be killed, but will not be insulted with impunity.
England sustains the war without inter- mission—it was thus they provoked the war that followed the insult given to general Bernadotte. Such intrigues will carry you where you do not wish to go. The English and their partisans dictate all those false measures—they already rejoice in the ex- pectation of seeing Europe again in flames —they will gain fifty per cent. by the im- pulse you are creating in Europe. It is them that I accuse—it is owing to them that a Frenchmen cannot go to the waters of Bohemia without being insulted. Why do you suffer this? Have you any examples of it in France? The most trifling insult given to one of them, would be instantly and se- verely punished.
I repeat, you are lead astray, and in spite of you, the ferment of your people impru- dently excited, and the intrigues of the par- tizans of England and of some members of the equestrian order (who have carried a- mongst you the bitterness of their regrets) will drag you into a war. The emperor of Russia, perhaps, will oppose it and will de- clare to you in a firm manner that he does not approve of the war, and that he will be against you. But if to his intervention Eu- rope will owe the continuation of peace, you can expect no gratitude from Europe or from me, I cannot regard you as my friends and shall consider myself entirely at liberty to make such arrangements as the state of Europe may require, without asking your advice or concurrence.
"Then, what will happen? You have le- vied 400,000 men, I will levy 200,000, the confederation, which had discharged its t o p s, will re-organize them and make new levies; Germany which is just beginning to breathe, after so many ruinous wars, will see all her wounds opened anew; I will es- tablish the fortresses of Silesia, instead of e- vacuating that province and the Prussian states, as I intended: Europe will be all roused—armies will be in the presence of each other, and the most trivial incident will produce the commencement of hostilities.
"You say you have an army of 400,000 men, which is much larger than at any for- mer time of your monarchy. You wish to double it; to follow your example, it will be very soon necessary to arm even the wo- men. In such a state of things when every bow shall have been bent, war will become necessary to complete the catastrophe. It is thus in the physical world the state of agita- tion into which nature is thrown at the ap- proach of a hurricane, makes it desirable that the storm should increase, that the heavens and the earth may the sooner exhi- bit a sweet serenity. Violent pain, but of short duration is preferable to tedious suf- fering.
"In the mean time all hopes of a mari- time peace vanish; the strong measures taken to obtain it will be useless. The En- glish smile at the thoughts of the discord a- gain excited on the continent, and trust to it for the defence of their interests.
"See the evils you have produced, and I believe without intending it. But if your dis- positions are as pacific as you say they are, prove them to be so; countermand the mea- sures which have excited so dangerous a ferment; to this impulse involuntarily giv- en, it is necessary to impose an impulse of a contrary kind; and since from Petersburg to Naples there is no doubt that Austria prepares for war, since all your merchants announce it as certain, it is necessary that e- very voice should be able to proclaim that your actions as well as your words evince a disposition for peace. On my side every security shall be given that you can desire."
Thus, sir, I have given you as well as I could trace, a brief abstract of the remarks which his majesty made to M. de Metter- nich. The emperor showed that he felt a good deal of emotion, as was to be expect- ed in treating on so momentous a subject. He had no more warmth than that emotion naturally produced: he spoke of the empe- ror of Austria and of his government, in terms of regard and respect, and he said several things personally agreeable to M. de Metternich. That ambassador, who has constantly protested the pacific dispositions of his court, has never found himself for one moment in an embarrassing situation: and I have this evening heard him felici- tate himself at being in a court, where such communications could be thus directly made by a sovereign to a foreign minister. M. de Tolai joins in the opinion. The em- peror appears even in the eyes of those who have the least observation, noble, frantic, loyal, regardful of the convenience of those
around him, observing a perfect dis- eloquent as well as sensible, and pro- of that sensibility, which the great- of humanity excite:—he judges it necessary to be prepared for war as for peace, and wishes for the latter fearing the former: and it is thought, that to a language so and noble, no answer can be made open avowal of warlike intentions facts as well as words prove, that he really desired. You can make this dispatch the sub- of an interview with count Stadion. Austrian government cannot doubt his cere desire of his majesty to preserve But the emperor wishes security peace. If peace is equally dear to she will not hesitate to give the em- full assurance of her wishes, and it is all by giving another direction to the opinion that that she will confirm but that direction can only be effect- change of measures." FOREIGN. VIA NEW-YORK. ST. PETERSBURGH, April 2. In an appendix to our Court Ga- stands the following: After repeated approximations to- with the Ottoman Porte, which were ever without effect, it was judged ex- ent to open negotiations with her plen- tiary, in order to settle the basis But just as the plenipotentiaries reached designated spot intelligence was re- that the Porte, contrary to her engage- had formed a new alliance with a hostile to us, and received an English bassador. This intelligence revealed principal of her conduct, and her wish negotiation, to gain time for preparation order to carry on the war. In consequence of this discovery, pr- Prosorowsky, commander in chief of army of Moldavia, received orders to an express to Constantinople, and anno- to the Turkish government, that unless English minister was dismissed within ty four hours, the armistice should be- end, and hostilities renewed. This proposal was rejected by the Po- and the war began on the same day. The first movement was to des- Slobodsejah, a post of great import- to the enemy, near the fortress Gu- and the seizure of the ammunition and magazines in that fortress.----- This was carried into effect with the racteristic bravery of Russians; and on 25th of March lieutenant general Milez- witsch sent the following dispatch to commander in chief. The intrenchments of the fortress Gu- have been completely destroyed, natu- standing the obstinate resistance of the nemy. Two pieces of cannon were tured, and the rest spiked. Slobodsejah, was taken and destroyed Colonel Lopuchan. The powder ma- zine under the Bashaw's house, with arsenal in the house, were blown up. Ev- the magazines every thing possible was taken out, and the rest destroyed. Twen- ty seven cannon of large calibre were ed. The enemy also lost 32 standards. The booty was divided among the soldiers. The enemy's loss was considerable, but it cannot yet be estimated. Our loss been inconsiderable; but major general Stawizkie was killed by a cannon ball. Colonel Grekow has brought over to side about a thousand Turkish families. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 2. We have accounts here, that a Russian corps has crossed the Danube above Wa- den, to join a Servian army of 49,000 men. All alarm of fresh insurrections among the Janissaries has subsided. Some back, the Janissaries, as usual, received their pay and rice. The grand seignor very ex- expectedly appeared on horseback at the tribution; a mess of rice was presented him to taste; he did so, alighted, went into the barracks, and with particular condes- sion inquired about their grievances, and pro- mised them redress. This caused great ex- prise among the Janissaries, who unanim- ly cried out, they demanded nothing but the Grand Seignor (who was himself of their own corps) would not suffer it. The Sultan assured them he had no such design, but would only gradually re- form their abuses; he extorted them at the same time to obedience, and promised to continue them in his favor. This occasion ed a general shout of joy, and they unan- mously swore obedience to the Sultan. The Sultan then wished to know who had pro- posed raising an insurrection; they were instantly named, and by order of the Grand Seignor, 200 of them were immediately

executed. The Aga of the Janissaries lost his place, and the captain Pacha, Seld Alid, was sent into exile to Broussa, in Asia. All this happened with remarkable tranquility.
AUGSBURGH, May 10. One hundred and thirty waggons, crowded with wounded French, arrived at Augsburgh on the 2d instant. Another escort, equally as numerous, arrived on the 5th; and it is computed that during the preceding night, the wounded French, Wirtemberg, and Bavarian troops conveyed thither exceeded 14,000 men.
A Russian army is collecting on the frontiers of Poland, which is called the Western Army of Observation, and prince Sergei Golizyn has been appointed to command it.
Jerome Bonaparte has confiscated the revenues of the Chapter of Wallestein, at Hamburg, as also the property of the abbess and canonesses, for favoring the Westphalian insurgents.
Forty thousand French troops from Spain, and the southern departments of France, were to cross the Rhine at Huningue, between the 10th and 15th inst.
The king of Naples is forming a camp of 10,000 men near Eboli, and another at Lagonegro, under an apprehension of an attack from the British army in Sicily.
SALEM, July 25.
FROM BAYONNE.
Mr. Thorndike, from Bayonne, has given us the following as the tenor of reports and opinions at that place while he was there. With respect to Spain, that country was far from being conquered; there had been an immense loss of men on the part of the French, supposed to be not less than one hundred and fifty thousand. Of the vast numbers who had entered Spain, scarcely any ever returned, except in a miserable, disabled condition. The patriots under Cuesta, Romana, Reding, &c. maintained the war in various parts, with success. At Madrid there had been a popular tumult for several days, so that they were obliged to call King Joseph from Aranjuez to quiet it; but it was thought he would not be able to remain long in Madrid with safety. The Saragossans were also greatly excited, and if a force did not arrive to overawe them, would probably be soon in arms again. It was reported that a large reinforcement was on its way to Spain, but it had not yet appeared; and it was the prevailing opinion, that if it did not arrive soon, the French would be obliged to abandon the country.
Mr. Thorndike was in Bayonne when many of the prisoners from Saragossa passed through there. They were carried on by forced marches, and were in a most wretched, worn-down condition: they had been cruelly treated on the road, and 5 or 600 were said to have been actually shot because they could not support the march. Of this barbarous deed Mr. T. has not the least doubt, for it was declared to him not only by Spanish but by French officers who were present; and it was the subject of common conversation, and of horror, in all circles.
He saw also the brave Palafox on his way to the interior as a prisoner. He was then considerably unwell. As an officer of rank he was allowed some indulgence, and lodged at the same house with Mr. T. He conversed freely, and lamented the cruelties to which his suffering companions had been subjected; but remarked that they were not behind-hand of the French in their inveterate hatred. When Saragossa surrendered, marshal Lasnes refused, with a compliment upon his bravery, to take his sword; but he had since been deprived of it.
Mr. T. saw there the emperor Napoleon, who did not then keep himself so impenetrably guarded, as he was said to do in the early periods of his usurpation. Curiosity frequently caused the people to crowd round him; he was frequently in the harbor in a barge, in an exposed situation; and had one been desperate enough to attempt his life, frequent opportunities were not wanting.
With respect to the war with Austria, well informed people, who know how to make computations from what is suffered to be published, did not doubt the French had lost at least 30,000 men.
Mr. T. having spent about two years in France, and been in different provinces, has had opportunity to observe the misery produced by Bonaparte's ambitious measures. A constant state of warfare has drained off the men, so as to leave agriculture as well as commerce in a languishing state; and in travelling the country, he frequently observed six or eight women to one man engaged in the labors of the field, and was assured this was the cause of it. The system of conscription is horrible; the best families are broken in upon and many ruined
by it. He has seen many thousands of these conscripts at Bayonne, where they were drilled a few weeks in marching, &c. (without arms) and then sent, many of them broken hearted into Spain, to be incorporated among the old troops. Not enured to military hardships, and most of them perhaps never handled a musket—raw and inexperienced—destined to a warfare among the mountains of Spain, and against their hardy inhabitants—they entered that kingdom as certain victims to Bonaparte's ambition—never to revisit their country and friends—never again to enjoy the domestic comforts from which they have been torn away.
NEW-YORK, July 24.
Local facts. —Notwithstanding all the foolish, if not wicked denials of the truth it is a fact that the yellow fever has been introduced into the village of Brooklyn and has been there some time concealed, probably since the 4th of July.
It is a fact that so late as Friday two physicians of that place positively denied the existence of such a disease there, although one patient at least, at that very moment, lay dangerously ill under the care of these very physicians and has since died. His name was Rhodes.
It is a fact that several more have died before and since, and yet the people continue to say there is no such disease there, for fear it will injure the reputation of the place.
It is a fact that several vessels from the Havanna have been permitted by our health officer to come up from the quarantine ground within four days after their arrival, and haul along side the wharf at Brooklyn, although
It is a fact that the Havanna is a sickly port, the yellow fever prevailing there in its most malignant form so that it proves almost universally fatal, as abundance of letters inform.
This being the fact I should be glad to know whether the health officer has permitted these vessels to come up without having been unloaded, cleansed and purified, according to law? If so, then are our health laws good for nothing.
BALTIMORE, July 26.
Arrived, brig Olympus, Hopkins, nine days from Havanna. Sailed 7th instant.—Left brig Nancy, Barry, for Baltimore in 3 or 4 days; brig Favorite, for Boston in a few days; schooner Four Sisters, for Beverly in 2 days; ship Monsoon, of Boston, uncertain; brig Superior, for Philadelphia in 3 days; brig Citizen, for New-York in 8 days; and brig Niagara, for do. in 10, and many others names unknown.
Also, schooner Nymph, Raredon, 17 days from St. Barts. Was at Port Royal, Martinique, was permitted to load nothing but flour; sailed from thence 3d of July.—Left a number of Americans who are obliged when once they come to an anchor to sell part of their cargo at any price to pay the enormous port charges demanded, and as nothing but flour, lumber and fish will be admitted, several masters of vessels were obliged to apply to such as would advance them money on their notes to pay those charges.
If any master of a vessel in the harbor attempts to board a vessel coming in, he is fired at: first shot one dollar, two for the second and increasing in that proportion.—The reason for thus firing, is to prevent information to those coming in of the heavy charges which are made, and the sacrifices which must be made to obtain as much money as will pay them. Captain Raredon, for his schooner of 98 tons, would have had to pay 50 dollars merely for coming to an anchor, and in case he had landed none of his cargo. Left at St. Barts. the 9th inst. brig Jane and Francis, of Baltimore, in 8 days; brig Good Hope, Long, of ditto, arrived the day before; being there but two days. Spoke nothing on the passage. Saw a brig and two schooners astern while coming up the bay.
FROM FRANCE.
We have been politely favored with files of Hamburg and Altona papers, received by the Amphion. Most of their contents have been anticipated by other arrivals. The following article, however, which appeared in the Hamburg Correspondent , has been translated for the Federal Gazette . When it is considered how little liberty is allowed to the presses under French controul, the following proclamation may refer to another La Vendee business:
[ Balt. Fed. Gaz. ] ANGERS, (on the Loire) May 12.
The prefect of the departments of the Maine and Loire, has, on the occasion of some deserters having killed one of the gens d'armes, and committed several other great excesses, issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the arrondissements Beaupreau,
which is full of kind and emphatical expressions.
"If the emperor (says this proclamation) vanquishes and destroys numerous armies, a handful of brigands dare not flatter themselves to disturb the public tranquility, and to bid defiance to the laws. I shall rage against them; but before I make use of severity, I exhort them to return to reason, and confine themselves to a dutiful tranquil behavior. The mansions of all who, thro' false persuasions are misled to grant shelter and protection to the brigands, shall, without mercy, be destroyed by fire, and their inhabitants shall be delivered to military commissions, to receive their due punishment. Let the guilty know, that they may yet return to their duty; but that ere long their regret will be too late.
"Inhabitants of the arrondissement Beaupreau! I am lately arrived in this department, and little known to you; I do not wish any thing but to implore the emperor to bestow his bounty on you. But at the same time I am resolved not to negotiate with rebels," &c.
Given in the prefecture at Angers, the 9th May, 1809.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 1.
MR. COLES, who was the bearer of dispatches from our government to the American minister in France, arrived at Washington yesterday. We understand it is conjectured he brings favorable accounts from that country.
The New York Mercantile Advertiser of the 27th ult. mentions a brig being below—and adds, that she is probably the Contest from England.
The brig Alonzo, arrived at New York from Madeira, was boarded on the 23d June, lat. 33, long. 27, by the British sloop of war Contest, from England for N. York with dispatches.
By the British sch'r James, capt. Bragan, arrived at New-York, on Wednesday last, in 24 days from Port-au-Prince, we learn that Pétion had defeated Christophe in a naval combat, and Christophe had defeated Pétion in an action by land—the contest was very sanguinary.
A London paper of May 14, says—"By a gentleman recently from France we learn, that the quantities of corn, wine and other produce, upon hand is incredible—and the prices so low, that the landholders are rendered totally unable to pay their taxes. A representation of this state of the country was made to the emperor, by three of his ministers; and Napoleon said he would attend to it. From this, it was immediately stated, that a decree would pass, permitting the exportation of corn, flour, wine, brandy, &c. and annulling the import of certain enumerated articles. A second express was sent by Mr. Armstrong, to overtake the messenger appointed to carry out dispatches to America. And it is believed that this contains the notice of some decree of this kind."

Board of Health.
At a meeting of the Board of Health, July 25, 1809, It appearing to this Board that great vigilance will be required during the present warm season, to preserve the health of the town, it is therefore ordered, that the Superintendent of Police do pay particular attention to the state of the gutters, backyards of families, allies and privys, and that he cause the gutters to be scraped every other day, and cleaned twice in each week by working of the pumps on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and that he also procure a sufficient quantity of quick lime, and cause the same to be sent round the town on the aforesaid days, for the use of the inhabitants, who are to pay for the same at cost, and that it be considered his particular duty to see that lime be used in all privys requiring it, and over any stagnant places in the gutters, immediately after being scraped, and report the expence to this board once in two weeks.
G. DENEALE, President. Alexandria, July 28, 1809.
NOTICE.
FOR the convenience of the citizens generally a cart will be sent through the town with lime, which may be purchased in such quantities as may be wanted. The cart will commence its rounds on Saturday morning next, of which those interested are requested to take notice.

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 entire 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 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.

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.

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—Avant, 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 Dunlop; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our mod-ern 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.

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 er- rected, 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 ad- vantages appertaining to this valuable proper- ty which in the driest season never wants wa- ter, 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, a- bout 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 car- ry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.
ALSO,
At the same time and place will be exposed to sale,
The TANYARD and the Im- provement thereon, which are calculated for the carrying on the tanning business to ad- vantage 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 ri- ver, 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 with interest from the date, and a deed of trust upon the property to secure the payments will be required.
For further particulars, those who may de- sire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Ellicott, at Occoquan, or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill, near Alexandria.

VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE,
Distant 23 miles from Georgetown and A- lexandria, 19 miles from Occoquan Mills, and twenty from Dumfries, and within two miles and a half of the Little River Turnpike Road. It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excel- lent, and, to a grazier especially, would be a source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy. This land is decidedly benefited by the plaster of Paris. On it is a very good site for a mill, the stream being one of the most constant in that part of the country. There are about 800 a- cres in wood, heavily timbered. The improve- ments are, a dwelling house newly fitted up consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets, three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cel- lar, a kitchen, corn house, meat house and stables. Likewise the overseer's house, in each county, with other necessary houses or negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neigh- borhood.
Persons disposed to purchase may be sup- plied on the first named tract with a large stock of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, farming utensils. The subscriber willing to emigrate southwardly will dispose of the above men- tioned property on the most reasonable terms.
Information respecting the property may be had by application to the honorable Judge Washington of Mount Vernon, H. S. Tur- ner, Esquire, of Jefferson county, or in the absence of the subscriber to Bernard Hooe, Esq. living near the premises.
