HYMN ON DEITY.
ASCIBED TO ORPHEUS.
Orpheus was one of those heroes who embarked in the Argonautick expedition, in the 79th year before the taking of Troy.—The Poems which pass under his name, are, by Aristotle, attributed to a Pythagorean philosopher, named Cecrops. Most of the moderns ascribe them to Onomacritus, tyrant of Athens, B. C. 516. The author, whoever he was, had, undoubtedly some acquaintance with the Jewish Scriptures.]
I SPEAK to years initiate. Far remov'd Be every vulgar eye. Thou only, Moon, Rolling full orb'd in silent majesty, Witness my song. I utter truth's sublime; Truth's, which the soul exalt. In-mute at- tention Listen; for I proclaim a DEITY!
The Almighty One, self born, all glorious Exists, Creator blest, wide nature's sov'reign Invisible to mortal eye; but he, Watchful forever, guards his boundless works.
He, of his goodness, chastens man; he sends War, famine, pestilence. He, he alone, Uncounselled, governs and directs the whole.
O, come with me, my friend adoring trace, In all his works, the footsteps of a God. His hand sustains, his powerful arm upholds Creation; he himself invisible; For clouds and darkness shroud him. He re- mov'd
High in the heaven of heavens, dwells not with man; No eye beholds him, save the Son belov'd, Of wond'rous origin, Chaldea's hope.
God in the heaven resides. The rolling world, The star bespangled firmament, the sun, Evening's mile lamp, creation's utmost bounds Extended lie before him. He directs The ceaseless flow of ocean. He, in storms Rides on the whirlwind, hurls the fire of hea- ven.
God in the heaven's resides. He spreads his arms To ocean's utmost bounds. At his approach The mountains tremble; from their bases leap
The everlasting hills. To his high power Earth bows submissive. He, the first and last.
No more, I tremble to proclaim his power; God, from on high, the universe sustains. My friend, restrain thy lips. In silent awe, Bow, and adore the wonder working God. Boston. Anthology.
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
INDEPENDENT AMERICAN
AND
COLUMBIAN ADVERTISER,
A NEW PAPER:
To be published by Edgar Patterson , in Georgetown, District of Columbia.
At the commencement of a periodical work, a prospectus is generally expected, in which the editor is not only to explain his views and develope his plan of publication, but to give a specimen of his learning and abilities—his dexterity at fine writing, and his knack at rounding a period and squaring a paragraph. These addresses, or whatever they may be called, are frequently filled with pomposity and promises, and are often the best, and sometimes the only efforts of their authors. As we are about to commence a periodical publication, and as we have no disposition to alter the course of nature, or even to abrogate established customs, we here present our PROSPECTUS.—But we would not have our readers be disappointed, if they should find here no fine writing, and very few fair promises. We shall promise nothing but what we mean to attempt and we hope to be enabled to perform.
After this short introduction, we proceed to explain the plan which we have marked out to ourselves in conducting our paper.
The Politician being the greatest reader of Newspapers, we shall first inform him what political character he may expect us to assume. In this respect we are resolved to manifest the most avowed INDEPENDENCE. We will belong to ourselves; and scorning to fall into the ranks of any party, we will examine and expose the designs of all, and give them our censure or our praise, only as they may appear to us to deserve it.—No party can be invariably right. He there-
fore who invariably supports it, wants discernment or principle. We desire it therefore to be well remembered, that however we may, in the general course of our measures, approve the conduct of any party, we shall still hold ourselves under no control to agree with them on all occasions, or to sacrifice our own opinions to theirs, or even to be silent when we differ from them. We think that political as well as all other opinions ought only to be asserted or supported when they are conscientiously felt.—We shall therefore endeavor to obtain a correct view of all public affairs, to learn the characters of public men, to observe the tendency of their measures—and we will exhibit the result of our researches to the nation, in plain, open, and temperate language.
We do not fear by thus pursuing this course, that we shall be suspected of aiming at the most foolish and hopeless of all projects—pleasing all parties. Whoever suspects us of this; shall soon see the contrary.
We are far from feeling, and consequently from professing, a perfect apathy as to all the political characters who have been distinguished in our country—We have like other men our likings and loathings. Nor do we pretend to feel any strict impartiality of judgment, any perfect equality of affection towards the various parties and sects of politicians who have arisen among us. Nor shall we affect any concealment as to these points. We do not hesitate to declare our attachment to the Washington School in Politics, and to avow that a party which may be thought inconsiderable for its numbers, and against which the public voice seemed to have declared, has obtained, by the principles it has generally manifested, and the course it has pursued, more of our regard than any other. On these subjects we shall be always candid and explicit, and hereafter more particular; and perhaps it may be seen, that we even have our prejudices on these subjects.
All we will undertake for, is, to watch ourselves as well as others—to let no blind attachment to men or measures seduce us from a vigilant and faithful discharge of the office we have assumed.
The proceedings of the senate and house of representatives shall be regularly, correctly and impartially given, and such parts of the debates in either house as may be thought interesting and useful to our readers. To give all the debates would be impossible; but when we do give the speeches on any subject, we will always make it a principle to give both sides the question. The resolutions and laws passed by the legislature, will be regularly and seasonably inserted, as will reports from heads of departments, and all other public documents which may be interesting and useful to the politician who wishes to understand the proceedings of the government.
Our readers, who are not fond of politics, need not be frightened at the size of the political part of our address—they may rather consider it as a presage that we shall have as little of the bitterness of politics in our paper, as shall be consistent with our duty. The generality of readers may be addressed to much more advantage, & infinitely more highly benefitted by other topics. Political discussions are seldom useful to the great mass of mankind. An inordinate attachment to politics is certainly the prevailing foible of the present times; and it would be well for every man who seeks this kind of information, to give the time and attention it consumes to more suitable subjects. We shall therefore aim at substituting in the place of politics, whatever we may think more important and interesting to the various classes of society.
The farmer, the merchant and the mechanic, shall each of them have a portion devoted to the service of their respective occupations; and to them and the lovers of light reading and literature, we shall allot no small share of our labours.
We have said more on this subject than we intended, but we could not well say less and be understood.

NORFOLK, July 3.
Mr. Redmon who arrived from Jamaica, (via St. Jago de Cuba) in the ship Fame , and capt. Benthall, have favored us with a file of Jamaica papers to the 30th May. No notice is taken in any of those papers of any insurrection in Jamaica.
On the 17th June, capt. Benthall was boarded in the bite of Leogane, by a British sloop of war, convoying a packet through the passage. Was informed by the captain of the sloop of war, who left Jamaica on the 13th, that a strong force had sailed from that island to assist the Spaniards besieging the city of St. Domingo. That the sloop of war was laden with provisions and stores for that place, to which he should proceed after convoying the packet clear of the passage.
The Jamaica papers, notice the siege of the city of St. Domingo by the Spaniards, but take no notice of the reinforcement and supplies which was stated the French ships that escaped admiral Cochrane, had thrown into that place. We are inclined to believe that the report was incorrect. Such a circumstance could not have occurred without being known in Jamaica, and would have been noticed.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) May 18.
About the end of last month, shortly after the Aurora arrived at St. Domingo, the French by some means mistook her for a vessel from France for their relief; when the harbor-master and commissary came off to her. They were received on board, and allowed after a few hours stay to depart for the shore.
On the 4th instant a schooner in endeavoring to escape from the Aurora , run under the batteries of St. Domingo for protection when she still closely pursued her, and the batteries opened a heavy fire on the Aurora , which wounded four men, one severely, the others slightly.
The advanced guard of the French army, proceeded on the 6th inst. to attack a party of Spaniards encamped near the city, but were completely annoyed by 60 Spaniards ambushed; who killed 40 men and a lieut. colonel.
The Spaniards have 3,000 encamped men round the city of St. Domingo, determined to use every endeavor for its surrender, but the enemy notwithstanding this have retaken Fort Jerome from them.
Although many of the garrison of St. Domingo have been dying from the want of food, they still persist in their determination of rather falling by hunger, than surrendering to the Spaniards, fearful that from a vindictive spirit, they will be all massacred.—Their wants were however relieved by the arrival on the 10th inst. of the Superior schooner, with a supply of provisions from the different vessels she had captured.
ST. JAGO DE LA VEGA, May 20.
The house of assembly yesterday presented the following address to his grace the governor.
"May it please your grace,
"We, his majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects the assembly of Jamaica, beg leave to state to your grace, that from the long continuance of the embargo in the ports of the United States of America, a very great scarcity prevails in this island of all kinds of lumber, and more particularly of white oak staves for puncheons, for which no proper substitute has been discovered, nor has an effectual supply been obtained from any part of the British dominions, although every exertion has been used by the proprietors of estates.
"That for many months after October last, and at a time when Guinea corn was expected to arrive at maturity, and other country provisions were intended to be planted, a very severe drought prevailed, of which the effects are now felt, and will be yet more severely experienced by the inhabitants and their slaves, if measures be not adopted for procuring foreign supplies.
"That, since the removal of the embargo in the United States, large quantities of lumber and provisions have been exported and deposited in the neutral colonies, from whence a supply of these most important and necessary articles could be obtained, if your grace were to exercise the power vested in you by the act of the British parliament, passed in the 28th Geo. III. chap. 6, permitting the importation in British vessels.
"That, by late acts of the imperial parliament, foreign vessels are permitted to carry on this trade; and both policy and necessity warrant our expectations, that your grace will extend the same privilege to British ships, which alone can relieve the wants of the colony.
"Impressed with a just sense of your grace's exertions to promote the prosperity of this country, we humbly submit the present and the impending distresses of its in-
habitants to your grace's exercising the power vested in you by the wisdom of parliament for affording relief."
His grace in reply to the above address, was pleased to say he would take the opinion of the council.
BRIDGE TOWN, (Barbados) April 22.
The whole tenor of the intelligence from the Saints is gratifying; but, for the present, in a military view, is most satisfactory.
We have possession of the cage, but the birds have flown—the Saints are conquered, but the enemy's squadron has fled! Great prospects, however, still exists of their being captured—indeed, the reputation of our navy, and the superiority of our force, demand and insure it.
The expedition under major-gen. Maitland, for the reduction of the Saints, effected their landing on the morning of the 14th instant, without opposition at Anse-a-bois Jelu; and the rifle companies of the 3d and 4th bat. 60th regiment, were instantly ordered to dislodge a party of the enemy posted on the summit of Morne D'O-range, which they effected with much gallantry, and obtained a commanding position to annoy the enemy's squadron; where having brought up two howitzers, at eight o'clock that night, they opened on the ships with considerable effect, and left him the only alternative of submission or flight. He preferred the latter, and at nine, boldly hazarded an attempt to escape, and with his three line of battle ships pushed through the windward passage. As soon as the enemy's movements was discovered by our troops, the signal was made to apprize our squadron of his intention, and two of our frigates and some of our smaller vessels being off the passage through which he passed, they hung upon his rear ship & kept up a very spirited fire; the admiral in the mean time, in the Neptune , with the Pompee , York , and Captain , being to leeward, crowded all sail in pursuit of them.
At 8 o'clock the next morning (the 15th) the enemy's two frigates, which had still remained embayed, and although in a moment the Intrepid , Swaggerer , Dominica and Haughty were at their heels, succeeded in their escape to Guadalupe, and broke up under the protection of fort Matilda , not however without much injury, as our ships kept up a running fire on them the whole way; and the Intrepid pursued them so close under the guns of the fort that she received several shot in her hull, had her rigging and sails much cut, and three or four wounded. The enemy, however, secured his retreat.
Our troops, meantime, continued their operations, and major Henderson (on Saturday), with a detachment, drove a party of the enemy from another commanding height in effecting which he had one man killed and nine wounded: and capt. Starke, of the York Rangers , on the same evening surprised one of the enemy's posts, killed one officer and 17 men and made 12 more prisoners.
Our troops also succeeded in cutting off the enemy's supply of water on the south east side; and lieut. col. Campbell; (dep. adj. gen.) with major Allen of the 3d W. I. and a detachment of the 3d and 8th W. I. regiments having received orders to drive the enemy from the town and adjacent heights, were in movement for that purpose on the 16th, and cut off their depot of flour near the town. The enemy, thus straitened, on the 17th, surrendered; and the same evening took possession of the whole of their works, and received about 800 men prisoners of war. Our loss throughout was inconsiderable and reflects great credit on major gen. Maitland's promptitude and judgement, consists of one officer killed, and one officer (lieut. Van Kong, 3d battalion 60th) and 60 men wounded. Capt. Dalling of the 3d bat. 60th the officer killed, was unfortunately precipitated from the top of an amazingly high cliff, which gave way with him and his party, in endeavoring to surprise the enemy; he has not since been heard of, but his men were taken up much bruised. He was esteemed a very dashing and enterprising officer, and is much regretted by the army. The prisoners were embarked on board the Dolphin , and other ships, and we understand are to be brought to this island.
The reduction of the Saints being thus accomplished, our attention is now exclusively occupied by the hostile squadrons. At the moment the enemy put to sea, sir Alex. Cochrane was meditating an attack on him in his fastnesses, and with that view had actually sounded and surveyed one of the smaller passes which would lead directly on him. He was however, no sooner apprised of his flight, than every effort was made to overtake him; and it is with infinite pleasure we learn by the latest accounts from our squadron, that there is the fairest prospect of our triumph being completed by the capture of the enemy's.

Emma army ship, from Fort Royal... 2 hours, arrived this morning... the gratifying accounts—Captain... aid-de-camp to major general... was the bearer of the dispatches... Beckwith, informing of the reduc... of the Saints. At the moment of the... departure advices had also been... from sir A. Cochrane, who on the... (two days after the enemy fled from... was fast coming up with the... squadron, and in great hopes of... with them. The Recruit brig capt... was at that time in close gun shot... the enemy's sternmost ship, keeping up... directed fire on him; and the Pom... within long shot firing her bow chasers... Neptune (flag ship) was about three... under a heavy press of sail and... a stern under a heavy press of sail and... The York and Captain Easton coming up... the whole about seventy... S. S. W. from the Saints. Thus... as are the hostile squadrons, ... and expectations of a complete... over the enemy, seems even now... as fully accomplished. The French frigates too, although at pre... secured under the batteries of Guada... may yet add to our triumph; for the... and enterprize of our navy will dare... sail them, even sheltered as they are... have however carried a very season... supply to that impoverished country, it... ascertained that they had in 1600 bar... of flour. The Jason, Narcissa, Swaggerer, and... phin, arrived at 2 o'clock this day, with... prisoners from the Saints.
April 25. Nothing further has transpired respecting... pursuing and the pursued squadrons... the Saints, since our last. A general... prevails as to the issue, but the... of the enemy's capture predominates... the apprehension of their escape. In... mean time we submit to our readers the... owing extract of a letter from Marti... corroborating the correctness of our... account of the operations against the... and the flight of the enemy's and... of our squadron: On Friday morning, the ships with the... ops on board having arrived, the admiral... the master of the Neptune on shore to... a small and narrow channel, little... and never frequented by large ships... which the French garrison or ships... the Saints, never expected would be at... pted; and he had succeeded in buoying... the channel and ascertaining its capabili... of admitting even ships of the line, be... he was discovered by the enemy. At... 11 o'clock in the forenoon, having... a signal that every thing was in rea... ess, the Castor with the frigates and... all vessels, accompanied by the Intrepid... the line, took directly through the chan... and anchored in a small bay, having a... of land between them and the enemy's... and principal batteries: here they ef... a landing, during which they were... upon by the enemy without much ef... The troops were landed in two differ... places, and took possession of the... ts; and in the evening having landed... inch howitzers, they began to play on... enemy; the admiral, with the Pompee... and York cruising off the leeward... al channel, through which it was ex... the French ships would endeavor to... a start. About ten o'clock at night... were discovered with all sail set, the... having so far favored them as to ena... them to lead out of the windward chan... and signals were immediately made to... admiral, who stood directly after them... ing his boats behind; and he judging... their going out to windward, and the... being fast sailers and weatherly ves... conjectured that they would endeavor... direct to windward, and escape if pos... in the wind's eye. They, however, having cleared the land... the Saints, bore up directly and ran down... Guadalupe, and supposed might have... hour after so doing before the admiral... sight of them. The sailing of the two... must have been nearly equal, for... had run about 90 miles by noon on Sa... ay, when the admiral put a note into a... and making a signal to one of the small... to pick it up, and carry it to general... and at the Saints, was left by this ves... full pursuit of the line of battle ships, ... about 5 miles from the sternmost, ... the Pompee at that moment firing upon... One of the ships of the enemy it is... ed will escape, as she headed the o... two under the top sails only, they car...udding sails below and aloft. A... four hours after the escape of the ships... the two frigates got out, and made... way through all our small vessels; the... got near enough to bring one of... action; but having got under the... of Guadalupe, she was obliged to

From the TRENTON FEDERALIST. Clover-Fields (near Princeton) June 23. Having seen the Arlington and Upper... Freehold sheep-shearing, induced me to... send you for insertion the weights of two of... my sheep and two of major Johnson's, of... Salem, New-Jersey, which I sold him last... August when lambs. His serving 50 ewes... that autumn will account for his light weight. His account is as follows: Weight of yearling ram on foot, 12th May, 1809, (the day I washed them) 175 3-4 lbs. Weight of fleece on the 18th May, 8 1-4 lbs. Weight of carcase after shear... ing, 163 lbs. Loss in filth and dirt, 4 1-2 lbs. Weight of ewe on foot, 12th May, 128 lbs. Weight of fleece the 18th, 10 1-4 lbs. Weight of carcase after shearing, 116 lbs. Loss in dirt by washing, 1 3-4 lbs. Weighed by three of my neighbors the 24th of May, 1809, as follow: Yearling Ram, called Sir John, clean washed and dried, weighed on foot 175 3-4 lbs. weight of fleece, 11 lbs. Yearling ram, called Doctor, clean washed and dry, weight on foot 141 3-4. Weight of fleece, 8 3-4 lbs. The sheep above mentioned were from Bakewell ram and imported Dutch ewes from the Helder.
FROM A LONDON PAPER. Loss of the Travers Indian. —The fol... lowing particulars relative to the loss of this... vessel are extracted from the letter of her... commander, capt. Collins, addressed to... lord Minto:—About ten minutes before 5... o'clock A. M. on the 7th of November, when in our station on the starboard quarter... of the Monarch, with the Earl Spencer in... company, having hove the lead and got... ground in 20 fathoms mud and fine sand, I... immediately hauled the ship close to the... wind, but unfortunately, notwithstanding... our exertions to clear the reef, we struck... about 5 A. M. on a rock detached from... Sunken Island, the other two ships passing... considerably within hail. The cause of their... escape, I believe, was from my hailing and... firing guns. At this time the mizen mast... went 15 feet above the board. The ship... then bilged on the starboard side, and in... about five minutes we lost the rudder, and... the stern posts gave way. Finding it impossible to get the ship off, I... ordered the main foremast and spare anchors... to be cut away, and threw over the starboard... guns to ease her. I then sent an officer down... to secure the packets; which I regret was... impracticable, as the water was level with... the gun deck, part of which had given away. As it was now day break, and we could dis... tinguish the ships standing on their course, we hoisted our ensign on the stump of our... mizen mast, with the union downwards, but... not seeing that to have any effect, our only... resource was now in our boats, which, with... the greatest exertions of the officers & crew, having no masts left to which we could affix... tackles, we were obliged to cut the gun... whale down, to launch the long boat, and by... dint of strength, a labour which was render... ed doubly difficult by the uneasy state of the... ship, the sea having by this time made a... complete breach over her—by 7 o'clock I... had the happiness to see all the ladies, pas... sengers, and crew, with the exception of the... 16 men mentioned, in the boats. The... weather was so extremely squally, and a... heavy sea running, I thought it not safe to... allow more than ninety-three persons in the... launch she being so extremely deep, and... eighteen in the cutter; but ordered the jol... ly boat back, though she was also very... crowded, to endeavor to bring off as many... of those remaining as possible; which I am... sorry to say from their obstinacy in persist... ing of not coming without their baggage, the... officer was unable to effect, excepting... three. When we put off our situation was... still more distressing, as capt. Hewes of the... Monarch, the senior officer, followed by the... Earl Spencer, had gone so great a distance... that we could not discern the ships. I had... with me a compass, and steering W. S. W. in... about an hour and a half descried them a... bout the distance of 10 or 11 miles. The... boat shipping much water kept us constantly... bailing, which gave me at one time much ap... prehension from the severity of the weather... of our not being able to reach them. But to... our great joy about 11 A. M. we were safe... on board the earl Spencer.
Names of the persons left on the wreck. T. Tracey, carpenter's mate; J. Green, quarter master; W. Holt, Peter Olson, Ja... cob Bergman and F. Smith, seamen, three... Lascars and seven China men. The loss of the Travers is stated at one... hundred and eighty thousand pounds, be... sides 500 pipes of Madeira wine and sever... al valuable investments, she had treasure on... board to a large amount.

The following highly valuable MEDICINE
Price 3 Dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S
NATURE'S RESTORATIVE,
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability as well as in complaints of complete debility whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth, which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is as part whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sove-
persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

Valuable Property for Sale.
Pursuant to a deed of trust made by ELISHA JANNEY to the subscriber for the benefit of his creditors, will be exposed to public sale, before the tavern door of Zachariah Ward, in the town of Occoquan, at twelve o'clock, on FRIDAY, the twenty-first of next month—
That valuable MILL-SEAT , the property of the said Janney, situate in the said town of Occoquan. On this site was erected, about ten years ago, a spacious three story brick mill house, which ever since has been occupied as a manufacturing mill until about five weeks ago it was destroyed by fire: the stone work of the mill and a considerable part of the brick work still stands and would be found sufficiently substantial to erect new work upon it—considerable part of the iron work would also answer for a new mill, which might with these aids be erected in time to grind the growing crop of wheat. The advantages appertaining to this valuable property which in the driest season never wants water, are so generally known as hardly to need a particular enumeration. Suffice it to state, that it is situated in a healthy and flourishing little town at the falls of Occoquan river, about 16 miles south of Alexandria, on the great stage road leading from north to south, in the heart of a fine wheat country, and has navigable tide water to the mill door where vessels may come of sufficient burthen to carry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.
ALSO,
At the same time and place will be exposed to sale,
The TANYARD and the improvement thereon, which are calculated for the carrying on the tanning business to advantage and on a large scale, together with the stock of Leather, &c. on hand.
ALSO,
Will be exposed for sale, at the same time and place,
One undivided Moiety of a Tract of Land, containing about 500 acres, situate on the north side of the Occoquan river, very valuable from the quantity of fine timber which it contains.
Terms of sale for the real property will be—Ten per cent. on the purchase money payable within 60 days by negotiable notes well endorsed—for the residue a credit will be given of one, two and three years on equal payments with interest from the date, and a deed of trust upon the property to secure the payments will be required.
For further particulars, those who may desire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Ellicott, at Occoquan, or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill, near Alexandria.
