Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to expire; which for convenience, it is believed, excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little-River Turnpike Road, 35 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

ACT FIRST.
SCENE I.
A distant view of the Black Castle and Rustic Tomb of the murdered "Ravia," which has been raised by the Peasants to her memory; a train of male and female Peasants enter in Procession, strewing flowers round the tomb, they are interrupted by the arrival of Asphar, who is borne in a Car, surrounded by Trophies, &c. torn by treachery from the Turkish army, he alights with savage exultation and dismisses his train—Asphar and Cornu remain, he is about to follow, when the inscription on the tomb attracts his attention, he starts with horror, and sends Cornu for an implement to erase it, he is about to do so, when the inscription changes to letters in blood, Cornu attempts to conceal them by throwing a handkerchief before them, which is instantly covered with blood. Asphar driven almost to despair, Cornu endeavors to lead him from the place—after many entreaties on the part of Cornu, they enter the Castle.
SCENE II.
Chamber—Morad and Alokim enter, the latter has been entrusted with the care of the lady Lamora, who has escaped, they are terrified at the idea of meeting their lord, who has threatened them with death if they suffer her to escape. Bugle announces his approach.
SCENE III.
Chamber—Moorish soldiers ranged in order to receive Asphar, who enters with Cornu. Despair and horror are depicted on his countenance, he takes no notice of the surrounding objects, he beckons to Cornu as if he had
something to impart, his eye rests on the guards—shrinks within himself at his unguarded conduct—bids Cornu to depart.
SCENE IV.
Cave.—Lamora, who is escaped from the castle, is discovered asleep. Alam and Serina who are in love with each other, enter as by appointment. Lamora wakes at their approach, and is about to sacrifice them for her safety, they supplicate and offer to conduct her to their parent's Cottage, she puts herself under their protection.
SCENE V.
Chamber.—Cornu and Moroc enter on their way to Asphar's chamber, to inform him of the escape of the lady Lamora.
SCENE VI.
Asphar's chamber, he is disturbed by visionary dreams—Cornu and Moroc enter with trepidation, and in a fearful manner inform him of Lamora's escape—he in a rage wounds Moroc, and sends them in search of her, with a charge not to return without her on the forfeit of their lives, he is enraged at the loss of his victim, and retires to his couch.
SCENE VII.
Inside of Conrad's Cottage. Lamora enters with Conrad, Alam and Serina, after relating the manner of her escape and expressing her gratitude for their protection, is suddenly interrupted by a noise without, at this instant the door is broken to pieces—they stand petrified. Cornu and Moroc rush in with savage triumph, seize Lamora—Alam and Conrad endeavor to rescue her, Cornu and Moroc kill Alam and Conrad—Lamora faints in the arms of Cornu, who bears her off in his arms.
ACT SECOND.
SCENE I.
A Wood. Turkish March—Cazem and Simoustapha enter with Soldiers and Peasants, they determine to attack the Castle, aided by the Peasants—repair to the appointed place.
SCENE II.
Chamber in which Lamora is confined, having been brought hither senseless—she starts from the sofa, and looks round in despair—at this instant on the panel of the door appears the following distich:
"Ere thrice self-struck, the castle bell resounds, Sorrow shall cease & you with joy be crown'd."
She appears embarrassed, and treats it as a supernatural fancy—Asphar enters, and with many protestations of love, endeavors to win her; she treats him with contempt, he is enraged—is about to sacrifice her to his fury, when little Muley (the page) rushes in and implores him to spare her; he spurns the child from him, and stamps violently for a guard. Cornu and Alokim enter, he snatches the child from the embraces of Lamora, and throws him to Cornu who bears him off—Asphar orders Muley to draw his sabre and dispatch her, he with some feeling refuses. Asphar kills Moroc and leaves Lamora senseless in custody of slaves, she recovering, and reflecting on her situation, is borne off lifeless by the guard.
SCENE III.
Castle and Tomb. Simoustapha and Cazem accompanying the Peasants in their evening visit to the tomb. Cazem is driven to despair on perceiving the inscription on the tomb. A Storm. Peasants retire; Cazem and Simoustapha remain; the letters change to blood, and the Spectre of "Ravia" rises from the tomb, points to a wound in her bosom, and to the castle—after viewing Cazem, she retires to the tomb. Cazem with reluctance is forced off by Simoustapha, after swearing vengeance on Asphar.
SCENE IV.
The Cave of Destruction. Cornu enters looking about with caution and beckoning to Alokim who enters with the child—they throw dice to see who shall kill Muley—it falls on the lot of Alokim, he is about to plunge the dagger in the breast of Muley, but wounds Cornu in the arm—he, incensed at this, challenges Alokim to fight. A furious battle ensues, and Cornu is killed. Alokim conceals the child in the cave, is interrupted by the approach of Cazem and Simoustapha. Alokim guards the mouth of the cave; Cazem seeing the dead body and supposing Alokim to be the cause, is about to kill him, when Muley runs out and implores him to spare Alokim; Cazem recognizes Muley for his son, an explanation takes place, he thanks Alokim for his conduct, they depart on their way to the castle.
SCENE V.
A dungeon. Lamora, and two guards asleep, she with caution examines the dungeon, as she ascends the steps towards the door, the bell tolls one; fearful of the sound waking the guards, she retires to her bed of straw. Asphar enters and once more offers her protection, provided she will become his mistress; she repulses him with scorn, he is going to kill her—the bell tolls two—Spectre rises, he is appalled—a voice is heard admonishing Lamora not to despair. Loud Huzzas are heard without, the doors are shattered to pieces, Cazem and Simoustapha enter and overcome Asphar after a desperate battle. The Turks are seen defeating the Moors by torch light. Bell tolls three, ASPHAR IS PUT TO DEATH.
On Tuesday, Messrs. M'Kenzie & Blissitt's Benefit.
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
No. I.
ALTHOUGH long since withdrawn from those active political scenes, in which I once took an active part, I find it impossible to remain an uninterested, though I have been many years a silent spectator of passing events. The transactions of the day involve objects too important to this Western World, too vitally essential to the Independence of the United States, to leave it possible for any man, who justly appreciates that independence to view them with unconcern. However age may have slackened the course of that vital current, which once rushed impetuously through his veins, or retirement have enabled him to contemplate without emotion, the low intrigues and vile stratagems of party, the real patriot can never cease to feel for his country; nor can he see her hurried to the brink of precipice, to dash over which is death, without raising his warning voice to announce her danger. That voice may be disregarded—he may anticipate the neglect it will experience—but he will do what he thinks his duty.
Never, since the all-subduing legions of ancient Rome carried conquest and chains to the remotest regions of the earth, has human liberty been so nearly banished from the world, has national sovereignty been so nearly swallowed up, by one immense military despotism, as at the present moment.
In less than ten years, more has been done than is now to be achieved. Since her present usurper seized the reins of government in France, a much greater military force has been subjected to his power, than remains to be subdued.
That Europe, if united and directed by one great mind, is able to give laws to the rest of the world, has never been doubted. What is now wanted to complete that union? Those vast powers, which formerly checked and balanced each other, exist no longer, or exist only to employ the remnant of their strength in executing the mandates of their conqueror. Even Russia obeys his will, and at the nod of Napoleon, weakly and wickedly directs her disgraced arms against her most faithful and most honorable friend. A submissive continent has received his yoke, and is ready to waste its treasures, and to pour out its blood in his service.*
What arrests the application of this immense force to the residue of the world? What secures a single spot of our earth from those chains, which are prepared for all, and which have been imposed on all, whom the colossal power of France has been able to reach? What prevents the perfect union of Europe, and the consequent subjugation of the rest of the globe?
No American is too ignorant to give the true answer to these questions. Destroy the preponderance of the British navy, place the dominion of the sea in the hands of him who rules the land, enable Bonaparte to waft his countless legions to whatever shores he may direct them, and the most uninformed of my fellow-citizens, the most obsequious and infatuated advocate of that fatal system, which so steadily pursues this object, must feel that the last barrier to the universal empire of one man, is removed.
I do not think it necessary to prove this proposition. It is one of those self-evident truths, which, like an axiom in mathematics, carries conviction with it. No mind can resist its intrinsic demonstration.
What then is the course which America ought to pursue? What does her interest dictate? What will rescue her liberty from impending danger? What will best secure her independence?
These are questions most deeply interesting to us all, and on which it behoves us all most seriously to reflect.
To those who guide the councils of the nation, it belongs, to mark out the nation's course, and I shall not presume to say, what that course ought to be. But this I will venture to affirm—the most deadly foe of American independence, the most malignant enemy of human liberty, can devise nothing so certainly fatal to that independence, nothing so inevitably destructive of that liberty, as impairing the maritime strength of Britain, and thus transferring the dominion of the seas, from an island incapable of be-
* The present many exertions of Spain, so honorable to the people of that country, and so disgraceful to their rulers, will, I fear, give no permanent check to the progress of French domination. It is much to be apprehended that this late assertion of national independence, made by a gallant people, who had been betrayed by their government, will terminate in a bloody proscription, of which all that is noble and patriotic will become the victims. Certainly, without the aid of England, not the most romantic chivalry could hope for success.
coming a great military power, to a sovereign who already wields almost the whole military force of the European continent.
Why then should America throw her weight into the scale already so preponderant? Why does she endeavor to augment a power which already threatens to overwhelm the whole human race? Why should she place additional means in the hands of the greatest soldier of the age, who is at the same time the most stern, systematic, and unrelenting tyrant with whom an angry Heaven has ever scourged a sinning world? Why should she endeavor to put beneath her feet the only obstacle to the full accomplishment of his ambitious schemes?
I know not why America should these objects. That every motive which ought to influence human conduct, should impel her in a contrary direction, and inspire her with different wishes, appears so obvious, that I reluctantly credit the clearest evidence, which is continually flowing in upon me in support of the fact. Yet I am compelled to credit it. I am compelled to believe that those who now administer the government, either feel prejudices in favor of France, and against England, which have determined them to put in hazard the independence of their country, by becoming the ally of the former in a war, undertaken and carried on for the extermination of the latter; or they believe that England must sink, that the attempt to defend our independence must then inevitably fail, and that it has become the part of wisdom to diminish the severity of slavery, by courting in time the favor of our master.
If, in these opinions, my fellow citizens concur with their rulers, desperate indeed is their situation, and vain would be any attempt of mine, to arouse their nobler feelings. But I cannot yet believe, that the spirit of '76 is entirely extinguished. I cannot yet believe, that America has wrested the right of self-government from a parent state, whose laws are the freest and the mildest of Europe, from whom we derive the wisest and the soundest institutions, as well as the best guards of liberty, in order to surrender that inestimable privilege to an unfeeling military despot, in whose hands rewards, bribes, chains, confiscation and death, are instruments which, in the execution of his plans, he uses with absolute cold-blooded indifference.
I shall, therefore, devote a few numbers to the purpose of inviting the attention of my countrymen, to some of the most conspicuous of those facts, which appear to me to demonstrate the existence of that baneful system, which I have ascribed to those in power.
SENEX.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
MORE ABOUT CAPT. HALEY. —We have now incontrovertible evidence of the fact that the Haley, upon whom Mr. Jefferson has lavished a splendid appointment, is the notorious swindler Haley, well known as such in this city and in other parts of the union—and it is believed that the President was well acquainted with his character before he conferred upon him this new dignity. It now becomes us to enquire into the motives of Mr. Jefferson's conduct relative to this transaction. That the president and the administration generally, entertain sentiments of deadly animosity to England, and that they are using every means and seizing upon every circumstance to further their views against that country, and finally to involve us in a war with her, are so manifest, that even democrats appear to be convinced of the fact, and view with indignity the criminality of such conduct. The turpitude of Haley in his transactions at London, has given just cause for the British government to order his capture wherever he may be found—and this circumstance has been so long notorious in America, that it can not have escaped the observation of the president. But disregarding the interests of his country, and the welfare of its inhabitants, and flushed with the prospect of gratifying his insatiable desire for a seat in England, he appoints the profligate Haley, a Messenger to France. It may be said that this single circumstance can have no weight in the grand scheme of the President—let us for a moment suppose Haley, on his way to France, to be captured by the British, and compelled, after a fair trial, to pay to offended justice the forfeit of his crimes. What, then, would be the conduct of the president? Would he not proclaim it an act of premeditated hostility? And would not such a circumstance be embraced, with avidity, to blow the coals of discord into a flame, and to light up the torch of war? We can account for this singular appointment in no other way. Fellow citizens, is this the conduct which should characterize the executive of a great nation? And are you prepared to be dragged into a "ruinous"

and unnecessary war," to gratify the criminal propensities of a man, who in his diplomatic arrangements with England wishes to convert every gale into a storm, and every calm into a hurricane!
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, August 17.
The following vessels were captured on Saturday last near Montauk-point, by the U. States frigate Chesapeake, commodore Decatur, and ordered for this port, where they have arrived: Brig Celia Smith, of New York, from Weathersfield for Dominico, captured off Beck island. Brig William, Moulthrop, of Newhaven, for Barbadoes. Brig Hiram, Munro, of Providence, (R. I.) for Martinique. Brig Little Ann, Usher, from Bristol, (R. I.) for Havanna. Sloop Phoebe, Devill, from Providence, for Cayenne. We understand the Chesapeake fell in with a fleet of 15 sail of American vessels, and that (besides those mentioned in the above list) she captured 4 or 5 others, which are on their way to this port.
LATEST FROM THE HAVANNA.
By the ship Vigilant. On Monday, August the 1st, at 5 in the afternoon, got under weigh. When about four miles from the Moro castle, the Providence privateers, who were at anchor in the port, came out and took possession of the ship, and commenced a strict search of the captain's and all the passengers' trunks, &c. hoisted out a number of trunks and barrels sugar from the after hold, boring them for money, &c. The following day, at 12, finding no further grounds for detention, gave up the ship after nineteen hours detention. In the morning of the 2d saw three sail close under land, Iron Hills bearing south, privateers gave chase, and spoke gun boat No. 64, who had the ship —, of and from Charleston, a prize, for violating the embargo law, having provisions on board. The gun boat told the privateer that the other was a Spanish ship from Cadiz for Havanna, though he hoisted an American flag. Left at Havanna, Gun-boats No. 65 and 66 put in for water, bound for N. Orleans; schooner Republican, in 10 days for New York; ship Caroline, of and for Charleston; ship Hope, of and for Beverly, in 8 days; ship Dispatch, of Philadelphia, from Cadiz; ship Bordeaux, of New York, for Bermuda; British government brig —, from London, via Cadiz and Jamaica, having on board colonel Williams, aid to the duke of Kent, bound to Vera Cruz, confirmed the accounts of peace between England & Spain. The frigate Franchise, captain Dashwood, and brig Fire-Fly, sailed a few days before from Havanna for Jamaica. It was reported that the governor of Havanna had succeeded in forming a Supreme Council, consisting of ten members, two from each of the following classes, nobility, clergy, merchants, planters and patricians, or the respectable natives of the island; the governor is president of the council. A proclamation had been issued ordering all Frenchmen not naturalized to leave the country.
Reports via Jamaica, (by a smuggler to the south side of Cuba) say that Bonaparte had permitted Ferdinand VII. to return to Spain; that all the French troops in Portugal had been destroyed, and many of those in Spain; that the Grand Duke of Berg had requested 120,000 men should be sent to Madrid immediately; and that the Senatus Consultum had been ordered to call out the conscription of 1810, but had refused and demanded of the Emperor the troops already in Spain. Further reports mention that an English fleet had been seen passing Lisbon with nine sail of French ships as prizes. Passengers in the Vigilant, Messrs. Chew, Miller, Constantine, March, Repine, Deuilly, Boudie, Blandeau, Mr. Symrite, wife, girl, and boy, Madam Dufour and daughter, Madam Le Britton, and six in the steerage.
Extract of a letter from our correspondent, dated
HAVANNA, August 1, 1808. Abstract of news here. The British vessels are now continually coming in. The Franchise frigate captain Dashwood, was in last week for three days, An English brig of war arrived last evening from England, Cadiz and Jamaica with accounts from Spain several days later than before received. The substance of which is, that the Spaniards had gained great advantages over the French—that they had taken general Dupont, with his army of 9000 men, on their march from Madrid to Catalonia—that Murat was missing for several days.
Reports were also in circulation that Joseph Bonaparte had been killed on his way from Naples, and that Bonaparte himself had a narrow escape from an attempt made by the duke of Infantado, who was killed on the spot by his guards. That the Portuguese were recovering from their yoke. The French troops shewed great disaffection—A large body of the Spanish troops had marched thence to join their countrymen in Spain; and on being pursued by a party of 4000 French dispatched by Junot, the country people rose upon the French and took the whole of them.
A colonel Williamson, formerly of our state, has arrived in the last vessel, as commissioner on the part of the British government, with dispatches from England, Cadiz and the governor of Jamaica. He has several other officers in his suite. The San Lorenzo, a 74, is fitting out here to take a commission of three, from hence to Vera Cruz, and Mexico—in which they will probably be joined by the British now here. Accounts from that quarter lately received, state it to be favorably disposed to the new state of things.
The late news from Europe has exhilarated the spirits of the people here to a height which is showing itself in a variety of instances.—An order was issued the other day for the departure of all the French residents from the island; and the poor creatures are now flocking on board every barque in which they can obtain a passage. Hundreds of them with large families who had been established here in their trades and other useful occupations, caressed by the government whilst Bonaparte reigned, are now driven off with almost savage ferocity. This new alliance with England will not operate much in favour of the U. States. They already view you as of no account. Protected by the British they can get their provisions from Mexico, and their merchandise from Spain and England.—Two U. S. gun boats nos. 65 and 66, put in yesterday on their way to New Orleans, for refreshments—The boarding officer told them they could not come on shore, nor be boarded from the shore till permission from the governor, which was not sent till eight o'clock, and then by a common bomb boat!! I have this from the officers themselves, who have in consequence declined waiting upon any of the officers of the government, and after taking some water will sail again to-morrow.
What adds to the aggravation of the above neglect is that the captains and people of two New-Providence privateers, at anchor alongside the gun boats, had been immediately (the day before) permitted to come on shore, and were parading the streets with every kind of indecent and noisy behaviour. I annex hereto the only translation I think worth making from the papers here. TRANSLATION—From the Havanna Gazette (the Aurora.)
Immediately that our government, upon the arrival of Don I. de Aguilor, intendant general of this island, on the 17th instant, was informed of the late occurrences in Spain, through the papers which we have laid before the public it took without delay all the measures conducive to the common good of the inhabitants of this island, and of the two Floridas. It published, on the same evening, the proclamation which has been circulated through this paper. On the 20th it proclaimed in this city, and solemnly swore to support our beloved monarch Ferdinand VII. It gave information to the British sloop of war the Fire-Fly, then in sight of this port, of the truces agreed upon between Spain and England, and of the declaration of war against France; in order that with the intelligence it might cease to commit hostilities against the Spanish flag, with which its captain (Boyle) complied, entering immediately after into this harbor; where he was a witness to the enthusiasm with which the faithful and numerous people embraced the cause of their sovereign and of the nation. The government accepting the offer which captain B. made of his services, for transmitting this news to the ports which might lie in the direction of his cruise, forwarded dispatches to New Providence, Porto Rico and Jamaica, communicating the occurrences in Spain, and the measures which had been adopted here.—There have also been dispatched duplicates to the four vice royalties of New Spain, New Granada, Buenos Ayres, and Peru, and to the captain generals (of marine); and where probably the news sent from here will be the first received.
July 29. The religious community of Franciscans (Friars) have presented to the government the following petition: Signior President Governor, and captain general of this city and island of Cuba. The measures which your lordship has taken against France assure us of the certainty or truth of the rumors which are in circulation, of the unheard of felony with
which the emperor of the French, abusing the candor and good faith of our ever beloved Ferdinand VII., retains him near him; and has spread in his kingdom the horrors of war, not respecting ages, sexes, nor conditions, and extending his sacrilegious hand to the sanctuary.
We should believe ourselves to be the worst of criminals if we were to remain indolent, at such barbarous conduct. We are Spaniards: and there runs through our veins the blood of not only those heroes who have adhered to their monarch, but of those also who have been at this time victims to the ferocity of MURAT, and of those furies which attend him. And although, from our profession, we do not appear to be qualified for more than the direction of the spiritual affairs of our brethren, and to supplicate our God, between the vestibule and the altar, that he may look with eyes of complacency upon his people; without forgetting these our duties & employing ourselves continually therein; we earnestly beseech your lordship to keep us in view, and employ the first offers that may be presented for whatsoever employment, however painful and severe it may be, even that of arms if the case should require it, in defence of the country. We will die cheerfully; teaching those who may survive us, that we have known no other religion than that of Jesus Christ, as it is professed in the Roman Apostolic Catholic Churches—no other king than Ferdinand VII.—and no other interests than those of Spain!*
SAN FRANCISCO, Havanna, July 19.
Note by the Translator. * The influence of the religious orders has been very great within the Spanish colonies. At Buenos Ayres, they contributed in a very exemplary manner towards the defence of the country—and in the recent occurrences in Old Spain, it is said, they have been equally active. In one of the late orders of the supreme council at Seville, a priest has been entrusted with the command of 300 men to defend [the Llanos in the straits of Thermopylae] one of the most important passes on the confines of the kingdom.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
WILLIAM GUIREY, a minister in the Christian Church, versus STITH MEADE, a presiding elder in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
This suit was brought in consequence of Mr. Meade having published a libel and uttered other slanders against the reputation of Mr. Guirey the plaintiff. On the 12th of the present month, in the county court of Caroline, this case was tried. It appeared to the jury that the accusations of Mr. Meade the defendant, were false and malicious, consequently returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, by which Mr. Meade the defendant, was damaged in the sum of four hundred and thirty dollars with costs.
We understand that the counsel for the defendant moved for a new trial, but the court were so well convinced of the propriety of the verdict, that, by a unanimous voice they overruled the motion.

To the Curious. A LIVE CASSOWARY, to be seen at Hove- KIN'S tavern, sign of the Indian Queen . THIS animal is a native of the island Borneo; and was brought to the United States in the ship America , Capt. Lclar, from Batavia. It is young and in full plumage, very docile, and worth the attention of every person. The following extract from Dobson's Encyclopedia, shows the estimation in which it is held by the lovers of nature, being conformably to the description given.—(See volume 18, page 40.) "The Cassowary is nearly equal in size to the Ostrich, but its legs are much thicker and stronger in proportion. It is 5 feet and an half long, from the bill to the end of the claws: the legs are 2 feet and an half high from the belly: The head and neck together are a foot and a half; and the largest toe is 5 inches long. The wing is so small, that it does not appear, being hid under the feathers of the back. The part which most distinguishes this animal is the head, which tho' small, inspires some degree of terror. It is bare of feathers, and armed with an helmet of horny substance, black before, and yellow behind—The neck is of a violet color, and red in several places. The Cassowary has the head of a warrior, the eye of a lion, the defence of a porcupine, and the swiftness of a courser. It can devour glass, without the least injury, &c."
To be seen at the same place, Several other living Curiosities, &c.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES: Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large: By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.  Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.  EDITOR.  Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to.  Alex. 18th June, 1803.

FOR SALE, My SEAT in King George county. It lies off the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.  The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.  Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.  In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes, my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchaser's own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.  The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN , esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.  R. W. Ashton.
