CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, APRIL 7. SPANISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
On the motion of Mr. J. Randolph to amend the secret journal, by inserting in it the message of the President of the 6th Decem- ber.
CONTINUED.
Mr. DANA said he was happy they were enabled to take a direct vote on the publication of the message. On the vote just taken he had felt himself bound to consult the opinions of gentlemen who had thought when the injunction of secrecy was taken off, it did not apply to the publication of the message. The question now presents itself directly for consideration, whether it would be most expedient to publish it. It appears to me, said Mr. Dana, that there will be no breach of confidence in publishing it. If in private life one man makes a communication to another, and the person who receives it says he will not pledge himself to keep it secret, there is no obligation on him not to divulge it, and should he divulge it there will be no question about the violation of confidence. Under what form then, was the communication of the president made to this house? Is there any thing in the constitution relative to the president's communicating any thing to either house in confidence, and absolutely prohibiting either house from disclosing it? If there is no such thing in the constitution the disclosure must be left to our discretion, of the propriety of which we must be the judges. In the first place, the constitution of the United States provides for such communications to congress as the president may see fit to make; it also declares that each house shall be governed by such rules as they shall make. Now when this message was received, the rules of the last house were adopted, and are such as are now in force. What is the rule applicable to the present point?
"Whenever confidential communications are received from the president of the United States, the house shall be cleared of all persons except the members and the clerk, and so continue during the reading of such communications, and (unless otherwise directed by the house) during all debates and proceedings to be had thereon. And when the speaker, or any other member, shall inform the house, that he has communications to make, which he conceives ought to be kept secret, the house shall, in like manner, be cleared till the communication be made; the house shall then determine whether the matter communicated requires secrecy or not, and take order accordingly."
The president can make no communications to us except under this rule. It was under this rule that this message was communicated. What is the inference? The rule was peremptory, so far as it required the communication of the president to be read with closed doors; but after having been so received, it is strictly within the power of the house to decide whether it shall continue private, or be published. The president must have communicated the message under this impression. No obligation of confidence can be infringed by publishing it. Believing, therefore, that the publication will be no violation of confidence, and believing that it will be for the public good, I shall vote for it.
Mr. SLOAN. I shall, as decidedly as the gentleman from Connecticut vote against the publication of the message; and on a principle which it behoves me never to abandon so long as I hold a seat on this floor. If I understand any thing of the matter, it was communicated to the house by the president in confidence that it would not be published; and if I have any idea of propriety, it ought to be still kept secret, as the reasons which first made it so still continue. If we are not constitutionally bound to keep the communications made by the president secret, I do conceive we are under an obligation of respect to the other branches of the government, not to betray the confidence reposed in us; and should this communication be published the other branches of the government ought first to sanction it. Such a course would, in my opinion, have a direct tendency, to destroy our confidence in the president, and our diplomatic characters abroad.
Mr. J. RANDOLPH. Before the question is taken I have a few observations to offer in addition to those which I submitted the other day on the subject of the secret proceedings, to show that the message of the president ought to be published, not only in justification of the report of the select committee which has been published, but in justice to the government itself. An attempt has been made in the public prints, and on this floor, to give a color to the proceedings of the house, when in conclave, totally inconsistent with, and in opposition to truth. It has been intimated that the minority was in favor of war; or by intimating that the majority were in favor of pacific measures, the inference has been drawn that the minority were in favor of war. The fact is this—and as the message of the president has been read as a part of the journal ordered to be published, as the speaker and clerk have attested, I will undertake to state what it contains unless prevented by the chair.
The Speaker interrupted Mr. R. by observing that such a statement would not be in order.
Mr. Randolph. I will confine myself then to stating that the division of sentiment in the house, was whether we should have a territorial accommodation of our differences with Spain, whether we should have an accommodation which did not merely suit Spain and us, or a monied accommodation which neither suited us or Spain, but France. A recurrence to the journals will show this to have been the principal difference that subsisted within the walls of this house. There was no party of men in this house, or elsewhere, in favor of war: for I beg leave to call gentlemen on the committee to witness that the opinion of the majority of the select committee was that we should neither give money or make war; but that we should defend the limits of the old United States and the territories acquired from Spain. What were the facts? Our army was dispersed in cantonments, God knows where. The country to be protected was far removed from any considerable surrounding population; a country which, from the circumstances in which it is placed, must be kept and held by military force. When the militia of the United States from the most contiguous states to New Orleans were deputed to take possession of the country, events proved that it could not be defended by militia, unless indeed by the militia of the Chickasaws, the Creeks and the Choctaws. It is not only cut off from the populous parts of the U. States, but it is protruded into the Gulph of Mexico, and also surrounded by extensive marshes which do not admit of its being defended in the same manner as the other parts of the U. States. So much with regard to a standing army. The committee applied to the head of the proper department to know what force would be required to defend the frontiers. Our report has been published. Why have not the letter addressed to the secretary of war and his report been likewise published? If the executive of the United States will take upon itself the responsibility of defending the country with a single grenadier, be it so. But it was said there was not sufficient force to defend the country; and are we not now attempting by a landed bounty to generate this force? These circumstances prove our views in committee, and I do not hesitate to say that all the force we have should have been placed in the vicinity of New Orleans—that was the weak point which ought to have been guarded.
There is another view of the subject.—Against Spain, with whom we had tried the fair experiment of negotiation, & which had totally failed, we took no manly attitude; while we reserved all our energy for Great Britain, and determined to coerce her by prohibiting the importation of her millinery. Yes, against Spain, when our negotiations had totally failed, and under circumstances of disgrace to the U. States, we took no manly ground, but begged her to take money; while with Great Britain, with whom negotiation had not failed, while a negotiation was depending, we declared ourselves in favor of taking a decisive and hostile attitude. Here is the real difference of opinion. In the one case we had a pending negotiation; in the other it had been tried and failed. But that is not all. Because we bought Louisiana from France, it was contended that we should be following the old precedent by buying the Floridas of Spain. But in answer it was observed that in the first case we made an offer to purchase as a prelude to negotiation; and it was declared that the misconduct of the Spanish agents was unauthorised. But here the case was completely reversed. There was no doubt of the misconduct of the Spanish agents being authorised, and negotiation had been tried
and had failed. There was another difference. In one case we made a fair and honorable purchase from France who owned the property; but in this case, we observed that we were about to make a dishonorable purchase of a highwayman or property taken from its rightful owner, or to obtain his services to bully it from its rightful owner; and it was known the declaration had been repeatedly made, that a high officer of the government of the U. States, the head of the department of state, avowed that the money was for France. Where has the Hornet sailed? To Coruña or to Cadiz? No, to Naniz, the highroad to Paris. It was not because there was a party in the house indisposed to the honest acquisition of the Floridas, but because there was a party indisposed to acquire them at the expence of the national treasure and honor, that opposition originated to the measures you have taken. No, sir, we were not for war, we were for peace—for acting on true policy on the principle of taking firmer ground than has been taken—that ground which we thought was called for; and not for endeavoring to curry favor with one of the European powers by throwing our weight in her scale, and thus producing a cause of quarrel with another nation during a pending negotiation. This is the fact. We told gentlemen that after France had said, if you give Spain one blow I will give you ten or two, I do not recollect which; after she had told you that your claims against Spain must be abandoned; after she had in the most insulting and degrading manner interfered in your differences with Spain: that, under these circumstances to put money into the hands of France was not only a violation of your neutrality with Great Britain; but that the ground subsequently taken towards Great Britain was a most dastardly accommodation to the wishes of France, in order, by putting on a hostile attitude to Britain to curry favor with the emperor of France; and which was not demanded by the situation of our affairs with Great Britain.
What is our true policy? To take part with neither of those nations; to let neither of them hog one dollar of our money; to resist the unjust pretensions of all. This policy we have abandoned, and what is the consequence? The national honor has received a stain which all the waters of the Potomac cannot wash out. It is on the page of history, and cannot now be taken off. The nation is stigmatised: it has received a blot, which all your Indian rubber cannot efface.
But it has been represented that I took part with the Spanish against the American government in relation to the disputed territory between the Perdido and the Mississippi. I took part so far as this: I did not wish to see the American honor sacrificed in a contest with Spain. I took part so far as to be called a Spanish partizan by some gentlemen, while others charged me with being willing to kindle a war with Spain. I stated that we had never received copies of the instructions of the minister delegated to negotiate with the Spanish government; and that if we should call for the documents we should find that the business from the first to the last had been managed in the most embecile manner—I do not speak of the negotiator, God forbid but of those who drew the instructions of the man who negotiated. We bought Louisiana from France under the terms of the treaty of St. Ildefonso. According to the executive understanding that country extended to the Perdido and the Rio Bravo. We immediately legislated on our first claim and passed a law erecting the bay & shores of the Mobile into a revenue district. What was the fact? That we were legislating without information. We had never been told that Louisiana had been directed to receive the country only to the Iberville and the Lakes. We consequently legislated in error for want of correct executive information. This was the beginning. We then sent commissioners to Madrid. These commissioners had various causes of complaint against Spain. One was for the injury we had sustained from the suspension of the right of deposit at New Orleans, which has not to this day been satisfied; another was for spoliations committed on our commerce in the West Indies; another for spoliations committed by France; and another relative to boundaries. We claimed to the Rio Bravo; but our commissioners declared themselves ready to agree, in case Spain ceded the disputed country in the east, that the Colerado should be the boundary line; and to make even this offer our agents were obliged to exceed their instructions. This information is not drawn from documents before the house; it is not confidential; if gentlemen doubt its correctness let them call for official documents. We wanted the
territory on the east of the Mississippi, and offered to pay for it with territory west of the Mississippi. But Spain replies, that territory belongs to me, and as I am able and willing to defend both, I will not give up one to pay for the other. And so far from making the Colerado river a boundary being a great concession, the present actual boundary is, I know not how many hundred miles, this side of it.
Could such a negotiation, thus conducted, fail to fail? The great wonder with me is that the ministers of the United States made out to continue their exertions so long as they did in pressing such a proposition. At last some of the X, Y, and Z men go to our ministers, and lay, put on a hostile attitude towards Spain, and when things are coming to a rupture, refer Spain to our mediation, give us a round sum, and we will dictate the terms on which an accommodation shall take place. When the fact came out, a general astonishment prevailed, and my worthy friend from Maryland, who no longer holds a seat in this house, told you that he hoped in God the negotiation would fail. I have said so much, that at least that portion of the public in our hearing may be undeceived, in respect to the proceedings of the house, when in conclave, and may give due information to their constituents when they go home—for situated as we are in this remote corner of the union, in a wilderness and desert, with but a single press, it is impossible that any thing like a correct transcript of our proceedings can go to the public. I make this statement that it may be known that we felt no indisposition to respect the national honor either as to Britain or Spain; but that we were for no half way measures with either nation. We were willing to try negotiation with Britain, and when that had failed, we were willing to go to the requisit length.
I hope for the honor of the Executive government of the United States, the message of the President will be published. With regard to any effect it may have on the negotiations at Paris, it is the idlest thing in the world to talk of any effect being produced there by any thing but money. They will look at your cash; if it is enough you will have your business done; if not, it will not be done. On this point I will add a single word. I am prepared to hear it said, that if this negotiation fails, it will be in consequence of the secret journal being published. But it requires no wizard to foretell that it will fail. It must. The battle of Austerlitz has settled that question. It cannot succeed. It is impossible.—And were it possible, the success of the negotiation would depend on nothing done in this House, save the sum of money given to France to compel Spain to do so and so. What will be the consequence of your measures? If there shall be a peace in Europe, you may expect a strong Spanish squadron, aided perhaps by a French force in the bay of Pensacola; and you may be glad to get off with the loss of two millions, you may be glad to get off with a loss of twenty millions; France sold Louisiana to the United States for so many millions, 3,750,000 dollars of which were to be paid to our citizens. We have been gulled out of that. But the last thing that has entered into the mind of France is to settle any thing definite with fixed metes and boundaries. Her object is to deal with you for money. She means to sell by the degree, and every time you apply to her for a settlement of boundaries, she will call upon you for more money. We were inclined to give it into these terms.
(Debate to be continued.)
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, May 8.
Foreign Intelligence.
The ship Enterprise captain Packwood, arrived last evening at the Hook in 42 days from London. We acknowledge our obligations to captain P. who very politely forwarded as by a pilot boat a note announcing his arrival, and enclosing his latest London paper, which is of the 20th of March, one day later than our advices by the Hardware. It contains no additional intelligence of moment, nor does it throw any light upon the object of the flag of truce. The following are the principal articles:
London, March 20.
The dispatches brought by the flag of truce were received at Boulogne from Paris at 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, with orders to send them off immediately, and deliver them to the first British cruiser that had a king's officer on board; they were brought into Boulogne by a courier. In pursuance of the orders received, a French naval officer immediately embarked on board a flag of truce, but none of our ships was spoken till the flag of truce had stood over nearly to Dover Roads when she fell in little after 7 o'clock yesterday morning, with the Venus frigate; the French officer immediately went on board and delivered his dispatches, which were instantly conveyed to admiral Howe at Deal, and from thence sent off government.

The flag of truce remained off Dover till half past 12 yesterday, when she sailed again for Boulogne. Of the nature of the dispatches, the French officer, who was the bearer of them was wholly uninformed. By some persons they were supposed to relate merely to a Cartel for the exchange of prisoners. Others can hardly believe that they relate to a Cartel, because they say that a week ago no answer had been sent to the last proposal received from the French government upon the subject, upwards of a month since. As soon as the dispatches arrived at Mr. Fox's office, he went to the queen's house and communicated to his majesty, with whom he had a long audience; after which a council is said to have been held. A morning paper adds, that another French officer arrived at Deal in a galley belonging to the Nile lugger, which took him out of a French lugger off Gravelines. Our Deal letter however, is perfectly silent upon the subject.
The arrival of the flag of truce, which was known at the Stock Exchange between two and three o'clock, produced the effect of raising the funds, which in the preceding part of the day had been depressed by large sales of stock made, as we understand, by some Dutch houses. The rise, however, was not so great as it probably would have been, had not some communication been made with respect to the loan for the service of the year.
Some Paris papers arrived last night of the 12th instant. One of them, the Gazette de France, contains a note which seems to shew that the French expect Bonaparte's speech will pave the way for a negotiation for peace. It is a note upon an article of London intelligence, which mentions that "Mr. Fox suffered himself to be very easily persuaded by lord Grenville, that peace could not be thought of on account of the unfavorable circumstances and unpropitious situation in which England found herself."
Stocks this day at eleven, 3 per cent. cons. 60 1-2 3-8 for money; 3 per cent. red. shut.
PHILADELPHIA, May 9. By captain Glenn, we learn that admiral Gravina died at Cadiz on the 9th of March, of the wounds he received at the battle of Trafalgar. That about two weeks before he sailed, four French frigates and two brigs, with six months provisions on board, sailed on a secret expedition. That there were 14 or 15 French and Spanish ships of the line at Cadiz, 7 or 8 of which were preparing for sea, with the utmost expedition.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. MONDAY, MAY 12.
The President of the United States, was pleased to grant on the 17th of March last, his exequatur to Monsieur A. R. TERRIEN DE RIVIERE, as charged with the commercial relations of his Imperial and Royal Majesty, the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, for the port of Alexandria, in the district of Columbia.
Philadelphia, 8th May, 1806. His Britannic Majesty's Consul General, for the Middle and Southern States of America, gives this public notice to the Merchants and Traders, of the official information he has received, that it is the intention of his excellency, Sir Eyre Coote, K. B. His Majesty's Governor of the Island of Jamaica to extend the duration of the Proclamation issued by his honor Lieutenant General Nugent, on the 17th of October, 1805, relative to the permitting the importation of certain articles, enumerated in that proclamation, from the United States of America into that Island, for a further period of six months, from and after its expiration, that is to say, from the 30th of June to the 31st of December, 1806.

The Aurora is of opinion that the object of the Administration in publishing the letters of the Secretary of the Navy to Mr. Turner and to the President, proclaiming the inability of government to adopt any measure of defence, was "to censure congress." Whether this was the intention we will not undertake to decide; but certain it is that the fact is itself a very grievous censure upon congress, which ought to be severely felt by them and resented by the nation. Nothing can be more disgraceful than that they should spend several months in personal altercation among the individual members, and finally break up the session all of a sudden while the government was upon the point of a quarrel with almost every nation of the earth, barbarous as well as civilized, and leave the administration without the power of fitting out a single frigate, either for the defence of our own towns or to check the insults of a petty barbarian on the coast of the Mediterranean.
Should one of the frigates which have just raised the blockade of New York enter the Chesapeake she might go to the City of Washington, burn the navy yard, demolish the capitol, and tow off the frigates which are there laid up in ordinary, and government could not lay them nay, or offer them the least resistance until 666 men can be recalled from the Mediterranean -- Will the country be satisfied with such legislation, with such protection as this, while the grossest outrages are committed on the coast within our jurisdiction, and while the petty regency of Tunis is threatening us with war unless we put him on a footing with the Emperor of France by sending him tribute!

FOREIGN NEWS.
The arrival of the ship Packet, Trott, at Boston, extends our London dates to the 22d March.
The editor of the Boston Gazette observes, that nothing of a public nature had transpired relative to the flag of truce from France.
The expose of the senate of the French empire, had been received in England. It is an elaborate work, and embraces a wide and extensive field of political speculation. The terms upon which England may obtain peace, are, when fully considered, nothing less than an equality of maritime strength. France, at the same time, to retain every acquisition she has made on the continent of Europe. While this language is held out to England, the expose enumerates Holland as one of the federative parts of the "Grand Empire," not merely as an allied power with France, but as incorporated with that kingdom. The intention too, of revolutionizing the Turkish provinces is openly avowed. After these pacific declarations, the expose goes on to state the improvements making in the French ports, it observes:
"If you cast your eyes on our ports, you will see that exertions are making on both seas, to render them more accessible, more commodious, and more secure. Basins are digging at Antwerp; sluices and canals are forming at Antwerp, Dieppe, Ostend, Dunkirk and Havre. At Honfleur, Bordeaux, Nice, Hulinguen, Belleisle, Ajaccio and Bastia, quays are constructed, and jetties or moles lengthened or rebuilt. All these different kinds of works are carrying on at Rochelle. The cleansing of the ports of Cette and Marseilles is continued, and that of Oleron is enlarging. The ports of Dielette and Gasteret are prepared in such a manner as to be capable of receiving a great number of vessels and gun boats, which will alarm the inhabitants of the English islands of Jersey and Guernsey, as those at Bologne menace Dover and London. The soundings taken at Bruc have afforded satisfactory results; the Rhone will have a port. Engineers have examined what improvements it is possible to make in that of Genoa. Six millions eight hundred and fifty thousand francs have been expended on the military ports. This sum has been principally applied in the excavations, the jetties of the mole, the construction of the outer port and basin, and the foundation of the new port Bonaparte, which, destined to complete this beautiful maritime creation, and worthy of his name, will be, on the channel, the terror of England; at Bologne, the basin and the sluice, the completion of the works which constitute the whole of the port, and the construction of the establishments by which it is surrounded; at Ambleteuse, the works necessary for deepening the port, the elevation of the jetty, which protects it from the sand driven against it by the west winds, line walls, and the buildings; at Brest, the formation of an artificial island, the excavations in the rock, the hospitals, the magazines, the arsenal, the barracks, and the completion of the batteries; at Antwerp, the continuation of the rapid works which are to form the arsenal of our marine on the North Sea, the erection of quays and work shops; in the road of Rochefort, the jetties on which Port Bayard is to be erected, and the operations of every kind required by this difficult construction."
We feel the utmost pleasure (says a respectable London paper) in being enabled, by the best authority, to assure our readers, that the illustrious statesmen, whom we have now at the helm, have taken the most effectual steps to adjust all differences with America; and that the earl of Selkirk is going out ambassador to the U. States, for the purpose of establishing harmony between the two countries, on the solid basis of mutual interest, sound policy and renovated friendship!
Letters from London assure us, that the most friendly intercourse subsists between the American minister in England, and the government of that country; and that no doubts were entertained of an immediate adjustment of our differences, on such fair and equitable principles, as would bind the
BY THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS satisfactory information has been received, that Henry Whitby, commanding a British armed vessel, called the Leander, did on the 25th day of the month of April last, within the waters and jurisdiction of the United States, and near to the entrance of the harbor of New York, by a cannon shot fired from the said vessel Leander, commit a murder on the body of John Pierce, a citizen of the United States, then pursuing his lawful vocations within the same waters and jurisdiction of the United States and near to their shores; and that the said Henry Whitby cannot at this time be brought to justice by the ordinary process of law.
AND WHEREAS it does further appear that, both before and after the said day, sundry trespasses, wrongs and unlawful interruptions and vexations on trading vessels, coming to the United States, and within their waters and vicinity, were committed by the said armed vessel the Leander, her officers and people; by one other armed vessel called the Cambrian, commanded by John Nairne, her officers and people; and by one other armed vessel called the Driver, commanded by Singsby Simpson, her officers and people; which vessels, being all of the same nation, were aiding and assisting each other in the trespasses, interruptions and vexations aforesaid.
NOW THEREFORE, to the end that the said Henry Whitby may be brought to justice, and due punishment inflicted for the said murder, I do hereby especially enjoin and require all officers having authority, civil or military, and all other persons within the limits or jurisdiction of the United States, wheresoever the said Henry Whitby may be found, now or hereafter to apprehend and secure the said Henry Whitby, and him safely and diligently to deliver to the civil authority of the place, to be proceeded against according to law.
AND I DO HEREBY further require that the said armed vessel the Leander with her other officers and people, and the said armed vessels the Cambrian and Driver, their officers and people, immediately and without any delay depart from the harbors and waters of the United States -- And I do forever interdict the entrance of all other vessels which shall be commanded by the said Henry Whitby, John Nairne, and Singsby Simpson, or either of them.
AND if the said vessels, or any of them, shall fail to depart as aforesaid, or shall re-enter the harbors or waters aforesaid, I do in that case forbid all intercourse with the said armed vessels, the Leander, the Cambrian, and the Driver, or with any of them, and the officers and crews thereof, and prohibit all supplies and aid from being furnished them or any of them. And I do declare and make known that if any person, from or within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, shall afford any aid to either of the said armed vessels, contrary to the prohibition contained in this proclamation, either in repairing such vessel, or in furnishing her, her officers or crew, with supplies of any kind, or in any manner whatever; or if any pilot shall assist in navigating any of the said armed vessels, unless it be for the purpose of carrying them in the first instance beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the United States; such person or persons shall, on conviction, suffer all the pains and penalties by the laws provided for such offences. And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office Civil or Military within the United States, and all other citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, with vigilance and promptitude to exert their respective authorities, and to be aiding and assisting to the carrying this proclamation and every part thereof into full effect.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed to (L. S.) these presents and signed the same with my hand.
Given at the city of Washington, on the third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and six, and of the sovereignty and independence of the United States the third.

Takes the liberty of informing the public, that HE HAS OPENED A Broker's Office and Commission Store, At the corner of Union and King Streets,
WHERE he will be happy to render his services in those branches of business. Every species of public stock, merchandise, lands, houses, lots, vessels and negroes, will be bought and sold on commission. Reasonable advances will be made on consignments; and acceptances will be given when such consignments are accompanied with orders to sell to meet the payments. All kinds of produce and merchandise received on consignment at the customary terms.
As a stranger in Alexandria he is induced to intrude on the public the following testimonial from Winchester, where he acted in the double capacity of auctioneer and commission merchant:
Winchester, March 4, 1806.
We do hereby certify, That Mr. A. Lindo, Auctioneer and commission merchant in this borough, has conducted himself in such a manner as to have gained the confidence of the public in an eminent degree; and his fidelity, honor, secrecy and diligence in his business, justly entitle him to this our mark of approbation.

Rich Kanawha Bottom Lands, For Sale or Exchange.
THE Subscriber offers for sale, or exchange for lands or other real property on the east side of the Blue Ridge, about 7000 acres of RICH BOTTOM LAND, on the Great Kanawha River, and on both sides thereof opposite and below the mouth of Poketollico Creek, in the state of Virginia, 25 miles from Point Pleasant, (in the county town of Mason county) and 12 miles from the town of Kanawha county, and adjoining the lands of the late General Washington. They were surveyed at the same time with those lands in the year 1772, and are held under the same titles, viz. Old Military Rights—which are unquestionable.
The Lands are of the very first quality, the Bottoms in many places a mile wide; they have been lately resurveyed and divided into lots containing from 150 to 350 acres each, for the accommodation of purchasers, each lot fronting on the river, and extending back from thence to the hills, which afford a most extensive range for stock, which can never be interrupted. One hundred acres therefore of this rich bottom, with its advantages, would make a good settlement. The great [Virginia] state road leading to the states of Ohio and Kentucky, passes by and through these lands, which being on a fine navigable river will command a ready and high price for the produce to the emigrants to the western country both by land and water. Their situation, besides, gives their occupants choice of the eastern or western markets, as produce may be found most profitable. The climate is mild and remarkably favorable to the production of fruit—Salt works are erected on the banks of the river but a few miles above these lands, and the neighborhood furnishes abundance of iron, coal, lime, stone, mills and mill seats; so that there is no part of the western country which holds out more advantages to persons desirous of emigrating.
A more particular description of these lands, with plots of the several lots, their situation, description and price, may be had by application in Alexandria, to Mr. WILLIAM CRAIK, who attended the surveying of them, or to the subscriber.

POTOMAC is a coal black, of great size and beauty, 15 and an half hands high, and a form not to be exceeded. He stands at this very low price for two years only, that his breed may be extended to prove his value. He is as high a bred horse as any in the world, as the annexed certificate shews.
I do hereby certify, that the black colt Potomac was bred by me and foaled in the spring of 1799. His sire was my horse Chatham, and Chatham was got by Col. Thomas Mann Randolph's Laburnum, out of my favorite mare Isabella, and both descended from Col. John Baylor's famous Old Fearnought and the imported dam of Apollo. From a variety of crosses I consider Potomac to be as high a bred horse as any in America.
