Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the courthouse. 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 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.

Forty Dollars Reward.
Left my service on Thursday last, NEGRO LEWIS, about 18 years old, not very black, supposed to be between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 8 inches high, straight and rather slender made, two of his upper front teeth gone, which leaves a considerable gap—his dress not recollected, except when he went off he had on a coarse drab colored roundabout jacket and blue mixed kersy pantalettes much worn & had been patched with striped home-made cloth—he may change his cloaths, as his acquaintance in the county and Alexandria and neighborhood is extensive—he is slovenly in his apparel, pert, talkative and assuming among his equals.
ALSO, ON NEXT MORNING, NEGRO EMANUEL, 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, stout made across the shoulders, large feet, very much knock-kneed, which occasions an appearance of a rocking motion in walking, of a lighter shade than Lewis; his cloaths not known, as he has sundry and frequently changes them; he is a good sawyer and waggoner, and at any work of a farm none superior I did suppose Lewis only absconded for fear of correction, he having been very impatient to his overseer; but Emanuel, who has a wife in the neighborhood from whom he has removed his cloaths, having also absconded, I suppose it is intended by them to endeavor to get entirely off. If taken in the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, or Alexandria. I will give 20 dollars for both, or 10 dollars for either, and if out of those counties or the state the above reward for both or one half for either, if brought home or so secured that I get them, and all reasonable charges for one or both.

DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Gardenier's Speech continued.]
Now, sir, to carry you with me a little in the order of time, I would call the attention of the house to a letter dated at London on the 22d of April, 1807. If my frequent recurrence to documents shall fatigue the house, I beg them to bear in mind that in these documents they may find truth as well as the arts of able diplomatists. On the 31st of December, 1806, then, the note was annexed to the treaty. On the 22d of April, 1807, Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, in their letter to the secretary of state, inform him that they had an interview with Mr. Canning. "As soon, however (say they) as we glanced at the objects of this interview, he observed that he had just received intelligence, which, if true, would make it unnecessary for us to enter at present on any of the topics alluded to; that it had been represented to him, that an officer, just arrived from America, had that morning informed the admiralty that the treaty which had been lately concluded here had been rejected by our government, &c. He observed that such an event would place the relations of the countries in an embarrassing situation, &c. Here now it will be proper to bear in mind that this treaty was framed by the ministry one of whom made that fine speech in Parliament which the gentleman from New-York read, the ministry most friendly to this country, if there be any such thing as friendship towards us, which I very much doubt. This treaty thus made was sent back immediately after the issuing of the Berlin decree, which so closely connected in one respect, the interests of the two countries. Was this not a fair cause of suspicion? Well might Mr. Canning hesitate as to what he should do in this new state of things. But to complete his disappointment and confusion on this subject, the American ministers on the 24th of July, 1807, addressed to Mr. Canning another note. This was the first answer which was ever given in any way whatever to the enquiry as to what the American government meant to do in relation to the Berlin decree. It was as follows:
"There is another object to which the undersigned have the orders of the President to invite the attention of his majesty's government, as affecting materially, and giving a new and unexpected character to the proposed treaty. They allude to the written declaration, relative to the French decree of the 21st November last, by which his majesty's plenipotentiaries accompanied their signature of the treaty; a declaration which in its actual form creates unnecessary embarrassments in the way of an acceptance of the treaty by the United States. The undersigned persuade themselves that as this proceeding, to which no sanction was given on their part, imposed on the United States no new obligation, could only be intended to declare that in signing or ratifying the treaty it was understood by Great Britain that nothing contained in it would be a bar to any measure, which if no such treaty had been signed, would be lawful as a measure of retaliation against her enemy, and as the occasion which produced it does not now appear to exist as then supposed, it will not be thought that any thing is sacrificed by withdrawing it as unnecessary."
Yes, sir; an enquiry made by G. Britain in a most perilous conjuncture was answered by a cool and very sarcastic desire that her enquiries on that subject might be withdrawn. This was the answer which they received to an enquiry as to any disposition of the American government to acquiesce in the Berlin decree. It is not to be wondered at that this answer was unsatisfactory. It cannot be wondered at. There is another from the same gentleman of the 22d October, 1807 to the secretary of state, to which I will refer, in which it is stated that
in the course of a conference with Mr. Canning he asked an explanation of their former answer to the note on the subject of the Berlin decree; which answer they agreed to give in writing. Mr. Canning closed the interview by saying that it would be necessary to postpone what he had farther to communicate to another opportunity. No information, no explanation was given, sir; nothing partaking of the nature or quality of conciliation having been resorted to. A deathlike silence was observed on this point of critical interest to the nation. A note was delivered attempting to prove that the occasion which produced the note annexed to the treaty had disappeared—and what ground was taken in that note, sir? "Great anxiety having been excited by a construction which many believed the decree to be susceptible of, the minister of the U. States at Paris requested of the minister of marine who was charged with its execution, an explanation of the sense in which it was understood by his government, who assured him that it was not intended that it should in any degree interfere with the provisions of the treaty of 1800, between the United States and France. We relied also upon the fact, not only that no countenance had been given by any practice or judicial decision, in France, to a different construction, but that the practice was in precise conformity with the view above suggested, and that in a cause in which the question had been formally brought into discussion, the court had sanctioned the conclusion, that the treaty between the two nations was to be exactly fulfilled, and that the decree was to be so construed as not to infringe it."
[Speech to be continued.]
Senate of the United States.
June 23.
Mr. Pope agreeably to leave, introduced a bill freeing from postage all letters and packets from Thomas Jefferson, which was read twice.
Mr. Leib from the committee appointed on the 20th inst. to enquire into the expediency of providing by law for the exclusion of foreign armed vessels from the ports and harbors of the United States, made the following report, which was ordered to lie for consideration.
"THAT in the opinion of the committee, such an interdiction is within the just and neutral rights of the United States, and, under other circumstances, would be highly expedient and proper. So long as a neutral nation shall confine itself to strict measures of impartiality, allowing no benefit to one belligerent, not stipulated by treaty, which it shall refuse to another; no cause whatever is afforded for exception or complaint. The right to admit an armed force into a neutral territory, belongs exclusively to the neutral; and when not guaranteed by treaty, as is oftentimes the case, such admission compromises the neutrality of the nation, which permits to one belligerent alone such an indulgence."
As a measure of safety as well as of peace it is incumbent upon the United States to carry into effect such a provision. So long as we are without a competent force to protect our jurisdiction from violation, and our citizens from outrage, and our flag from insult, so long ought no asylum to be given, but in distress to the armed vessels of any nation. The committee will not bring into view the many injuries and insults which the United States have sustained from the hospitable grant of their ports and harbors to belligerents; nor the facility which has thereby been afforded to them to lay our commerce under contribution. It is sufficient to remark, that great injuries have been sustained, and that imperious duty requires arrangements at our hands to guard our country in future from similar aggressions.
The U. States are at this moment under no obligation to withhold restraints, within their power, upon the admission of foreign armed vessels into their ports; but the committee are too strongly impressed with the propriety of avoiding any legislative interference at this time, which by any possibility, might be construed into a desire to throw difficulties in the way of promised and pending negotiations. They are desirous that a fair experiment may be made to adjust our differences with the two belligerent nations, and that no provisions be interwoven in our laws, which shall furnish a pretext for delay, or a refusal to yield to our just and honorable demands.
Calculating the overtures which have been made by Great Britain will be executed in good faith, the committee are willing to believe, that the stipulated arrangements will be of such a character as to guard our flag from insult, our jurisdiction from aggression, our citizens from violation and
our mercantile property from spoliation. Under these impressions, which the committee have stated as briefly as possible, they beg leave to submit to the consideration of the Senate, the following resolution, viz:
Resolved, That the further consideration of the subject be postponed until the next session of Congress.
Mr. Lloyd, from the committee to whom was referred the bill from the house, entitled "An act supplementary to the act entitled 'An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt,'" reported the bill with amendments.

Mr. Pope, with leave, introduced a bill in addition to the act, to regulate the laying out and making a road from Cumberland, Maryland, to the state of Ohio, which was read twice.
NEW-YORK, June 24.
The ship Yorick , Harman, which (after landing her letters at Fayal) arrived at Madeira in 21 days from New York, was the first vessel that conveyed to either of those places the news of our differences with England being adjusted. The intelligence created a general joy. Such vessels as were discharging their cargoes, were reloaded immediately for England; as nothing would sell at Madeira and Fayal excepting cordage and Canvass. The former was scarce and in demand, and sold at 9 guineas per cwt. The ship Mercator , Percy of N. Bedford, had also arrived at Madeira from N. York.

MONDAY, June 26.
[CONCLUDED.]
[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
NON-INTERCOURSE BILL.—Mr. Sheffield's amendment, containing a proviso, that nothing in the act shall be construed preventing the admission of armed vessels of any nation, with which commercial intercourse is allowed, and Mr. Jackson's amendment to said proviso, "whenever a full and satisfactory adjustment of existing differences shall have been made with such nation," under consideration.
Mr. Fisk. I am opposed to the amendment; the last I believe to be inconsistent with the genius of the law. The main question to be considered, as embraced by the bill, was, how public ships should be admitted—admit all, exclude all, or discriminate. Many have advocated the principle of exclusion, and if we consider what has been suffered from public armed ships, it might be best to exclude all; but as a number of reasons have been urged in favor of their admission, and I am not for throwing any thing in the way of the present negotiation, I am disposed to that course—But it has been said that the admission of French vessels will be receding from the ground formerly taken: let us see how the bill, as received from the Senate, will make us recede from that ground: it will not be contended that we are at war with France or England, but that we have ministers there for the purpose of negotiating peace; then it cannot be said that it will be departing from our neutral ground when both nations are excluded, or both admitted: a general interdiction of the public ships of England and
France is declared by the non-intercourse act, and that act only governs its own repeal as to a commercial intercourse with either nation, and an adherence to the general principle of equality of that act is no departure from former ground nor an abandonment of our neutral character. It has been said, why it was extended to France was because she burnt our vessels and imprisoned our seamen, but it must have been from another cause; it was that we might not abandon the neutral position which we had adopted: the law was to act with severity on both nations for their violation on our commerce through the operation of their orders and decrees; when these orders were published did France demand an interdiction of English vessels? No: did England require one of French vessels? No. Yet gentlemen say, the admission of French vessels will embarrass the pending negotiation of commercial intercourse—and is it of no consequence to have a commercial intercourse with France too? Can any man say there is not now on the way from France proposals for a renewal of intercourse on as liberal terms as those offered by Britain; but should we be so unwise as to discriminate as to admission of armed shipping, might not France refuse to negotiate on the ground that she did not stand on an equality—that she was not placed on the same ground as Great Britain, and this was the very doctrine of objection on the part of Great Britain to an amicable conclusion of differences, but we placed her on the same footing with France, and shall we refuse this to France that we yielded to her? Besides, when we grant her admission, her marine is so decayed that it is probable we may never see her flag in our harbors, indeed she cannot send it to sea without extreme danger, and I am unwilling to throw our doors upon France when the object to be gained is so little.
Mr. Livermore wished the discussion to be confined to the question before the house. If I can understand the purpose of the last amendment, it goes to say, by a fair construction, that both belligerent national vessels are to be excluded, it goes with the idea that there has not been a full adjustment with one of them, and the consequence is British vessels will not be admitted: some of the points in dispute are so important and so abstruse, as they in some cases involve questions of national laws, that some years may elapse before they are finally settled, and till then, by this construction the vessels of the negotiating power cannot be admitted. My principal object in objecting to the law as it came from the senate, is to point out, that the responsibility of the measure must rest on the shoulders of the majority. There has been a great deal said about the value of intercourse in a trade with France, and I agree that it is a valuable consideration; but what then, am I to do improper things to facilitate it; but the object under consideration does not tend to this facility: How will the exclusion of French public ships operate against a peace with France any more than the exclusion of her private merchants? men, I cannot see. What I conceive to be the proper line is, that this restriction should operate against that nation who should not rescind her unjust edicts—this would be fair: but it is said, since France cannot send to sea any public vessels of war, why exact measures of severity which will produce no good effect? Well, if so, should we exact any measure of severity against her, she could do us no harm, we would have nothing to fear from her resentment; but this is not so, for we have all seen that there has lately been a French squadron in the West Indies, and that this very squadron depressed our commerce. But as it bears upon our own honor as a nation, let us see the effect of the measure of admitting French vessels who have on board at the time ordered to capture, burn or destroy our merchants, let us not look alone at what she has done, but at what she may do, at what her vessels now carry on board against us—would it be consistent with our independence and our honor, to admit the public vessels of France, say into Boston harbor where they would lay some weeks, and receive the rights of hospitality, go to sea, and under their orders capture the first vessel they fell in with, perhaps at the mouth of the harbor of their shelter. I do not wish to see the present amicable negotiation with Great Britain broken off, by giving her any pretext. It has been said, if we refuse admission to French vessels, we may do an act which will involve property to a great amount gone to Amsterdam and other parts of Holland. I cannot see how this is; how any merchant or under-writer would be concerned in a voyage to a port where he is forbidden an entry on the one hand—and on the other is liable to capture for a breach of blockade. People who risk property under the control of French laws, must run their own risk, since they know, it is like enter-

any thing that goes in never comes out. Mr. Holland. The gentleman just sat down has asked would it be consistent with our independence & honor to admit French public vessels. I answer candidly, as our situation now stands, I think it would not; for injuries have been done us, but have not been atoned for, and it was in consequence of these injuries the original prohibition ensued. It was not to keep down clamor I voted for that prohibition, nor will it be to keep down clamor that I shall vote for the present amendment on amendment. I believe it was the attack on the Chesapeake that was the cause of the president's proclamation—but there were other acts, the impressment of seamen, the capture of our vessels, which, until they reced from, I am opposed to the admission of British vessels & even see by the last papers that three American seamen were impressed from the ship Virginia, an act I can never submit to—till she gives up this principle & make reparation for the depredations she has committed on our commerce, she must not expect admission for her armed vessels. But we have heard a minister was to be sent to this country: one was sent before, and his conduct convinced me that the British government was not sincere at that time, and have we any more reason to believe her sincerity at present: when I see a complete abandonment of the principles on which she has acted, I am willing to give her the rights of hospitality; but 'tis impossible for human nature not to feel the enormity of those acts, and while high and serious complaints exist against her, let us pursue the neutral course, in this particular laid down, till we have ample satisfaction: when the British government actually sends an envoy extraordinary who shall finally settle differences and give entire reparation, then would I open our ports, but not till then. Indeed I have not seen where they have abandoned any principle they have exercised against us, when their envoy extraordinary would come out. The British government does not ask the admission of her armed vessels, and shall we offer it voluntarily? if it is worth any let us have value for it—Great Britain gives us nothing that we do not pay for. If it is advisable that British vessels should receive hospitality in our ports, place that provision in the hands of the President to use it in aid of negotiation. This admission is of the utmost importance to Great Britain, and as she cannot ask it of us in justice, let us not give it to her as a favor; on the score of generosity we owe her nothing: I wish a fair compromise—give one favor for another: out to give up the only strong hold we have on Great Britain and appeal to her magnanimity, I have no notion of. It has been said, it would be absurd to admit the public vessels of France and exclude her merchantmen, and I believe it, should we act with hostility against the people and take their government to our bosom? while we kindly receive its representatives, should we thirst after the destruction of its people? Then as to France I think think the measure of admission improper: so it follows that the impartial and proper course of exclusion to both is the measure pointed at as the one of wisdom. Mr. Sheffey agreed to adopt the amendment to his amendment, and asked a division of the question; the first division of it, and which embraced his amendment for a discriminate admission, (opening ports to British vessels and excluding French,) was lost—ayes 35, nays 77, ss follow: Yeas—Messrs.

of the belligerents, a total exclusion and a discriminating admission; the discriminating principle having been decided by the last vote, moved to amend the first section, by inserting "1st 2d," after the words "That the," immediately after the enactment clause, which would prohibit the public vessels of both belligerents, and was lost—ayes 15, nays 100, as follow:
Yeas—Messrs. Bard, Boyd, Chamberlin, Crawford, Desha, Holland, Macon, Marion, Morrow, Pickman, Ross, Smith, Taylor, Whitehill, and Witherspoon.—15.

Mr. Montgomery moved an amendment to the 4th section, making all forfeitures and penalties incurred by this act, recoverable during its continuance or after its expiration. Carried.
Mr. Livermore moved an amendment to the 1st section—"and for the purposes of this act, no country or place shall be considered a colony of G. Britain or France which is not under the immediate government and control of either Great Britain or France." [Intended particularly to exclude from the provisions of the non-intercourse with respect to France the island of St. Domingo.]
Mr. Randolph opposed it, not on account of its bearing on our foreign relations, but on account of its domestic operation; for as a southern man and a slaveholder, he must protest against it, as a question of great domestic policy: he shuddered to think of the effect of a trade between Charleston and the revolted blacks of St. Domingo; the small pox carried into a nation of Indians or a country a stranger to its operation, would dwindle into insignificance before the introduction of such a trade.
Mr. Livermore did not think importing the produce would have the effect of importing the principles of the island of St. Domingo: His only object was to legalize a trade that is and will be carried on.
After some conversation the amendment was lost—aye 1, nays 97.
Mr. Jackson moved an amendment more clearly defining the 4th section and carried.
Mr. Milnor moved an amendment to the 5th section exempting from forfeitures and penalty all vessels together with their cargoes which may have arrived in the U. S. from G. Britain and her colonies, after the 20th May. Lost. [Opposed on the ground that the secretary of the treasury had a discriminating power to this effect, and to admit the cargo by law would force the remission of all penalties, their illegality notwithstanding.]
Mr. Gold moved an amendment to the 2d section to strike out the words have been , for the purpose of inserting be , and lost—ayes 2.
[This would have prevented further prosecutions for penalties incurred under the embargo and non-intercourse laws.]
The bill was then ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
And then the house adjourned, between 6 and 7 o'clock.
TUESDAY, June 27.
A bill from the Senate exonerating from postage all letters and packages to and from Thos. Jefferson, during his life, was read three times and passed.
Mr. Randolph, from the committee appointed to enquire into the application of monies drawn from the treasury since the 1st of May, 1808, made a report in part, which, after being read in part, was ordered to be laid on the table, and printed.—[What was read was of no importance; they are documents from the navy department, some of which were returned by the committee as unsatisfactory as to the information required.]
A message from the senate announced the passage of an act for completing the public road from Cumberland in Maryland to the Ohio river, and asked the concurrence of the house therein.
The non-intercourse bill was read the
third time, and on the question shall the bill pass, debate ensued.
Mr. Quincy in opposition to his friends was in favor of the bill, on a new ground, that it was so far an abandonment of the principle of maritime restriction; he tho't it was as much as his friends ought to expect from the advocates of the exclusion system and as they could in decency grant; he was against the whole brood, non-importation, embargo and non-intercourse, this bill destroys the system all but the commercial non-intercourse, and this is with a church yard cough going to the vaults of the capulets.
Captain Woodbury has arrived at Beverly, from Cadiz, which he left 21st April. He informs, that the French army was reported to be still lying about 18 leagues from Seville, attempting nothing; but waiting reinforcements: That accommodations had been ordered for the governing junta at Cadiz, in case they should be compelled to quit Seville: That Joseph Bonaparte quit Madrid for France, the 5th of April: That in Cadiz they discovered no disposition to give up the patriot cause.
That they represented their armies as very numerous and strong; but that amidst the thousand of rumors it was impossible exactly to ascertain the truth.
[Our accounts from France no otherwise corroborate this, than that Bonaparte had declared the Spaniards to be unworthy his brother, as their king, and that he should treat Spain as a conquered province.]—Boston Centinel.
DIED, on Sunday last, of a cancer in his face, Beniah Willett, late merchant at Ocoquoan. By his death society is deprived of as honest a man as ever lived.

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendant 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's carts may take it away.
John Longden, Superintendent of Police.

The following MEDICINES are sold by ROBERT GRAY , Bookseller in King-street—and by A. HINGSTON , Fairfax-street, Alexandria.
LEE'S ELIXIR!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throat, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder; the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefitted in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir, we give the names of the following persons who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of known integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir.
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance , 178, Market street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood, Market street, Baltimore
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messieurs Warner and Hanna , which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street , Baltimore.
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH.
J. A. Smith, Market street, Fell's Point.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine is superior to any offered to the public, being innocent and mild certain and efficacious in its operations.—Should no worms exist in the body, it will without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Lee's Grand Restorative.
Proved by long extensive experience, to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of blood, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, violent cramps in the stomach and bad indigestions, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, obstinate gleet, flour albus [or whites], impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. For the cure of agues, remittent and intermitting fevers.
Lee's Genuine Essence & Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch.
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the use of other remedies.
Persian Lotion,

Lee's Genuine Eye Water,
An effectual remedy for all diseases of the eyes:
Tooth Ache Drops,

VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE,

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.

FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. C. 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 Dunlop; 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.
