FURTHER EXTRACTS
From an examination of the BRITISH DOCTRINE, which subjects to capture a neutral trade not open in time of peace.
TREATIES.
In July sixteen hundred and sixty seven a treaty was concluded with the United Provinces, of which article three provisionally adopts certain articles from the treaty of Breda, between the United Provinces and France, on the subject of maritime commerce; until a fuller treaty could be perfected between the parties. The articles adopted in relation to the trade between the subjects of one of the parties, and the enemies of the other, declare that the trade shall extend, without impediment, to all articles not contraband, and to all places not besieged or blockaded.
In February sixteen hundred and sixty seven - eight, the same parties then under a perpetual defensive alliance by virtue of a treaty of 21st July, sixteen hundred and sixty seven, and in a league moreover with Sweden by the triple league of sixteen hundred and sixty eight, resumed the subject of maritime and commercial affairs, and repeated in the 1st article of their treaty, the precise stipulations adopted provisionally from the treaties between France and the United Provinces.
A treaty with Denmark in 1669, stipulates that they may trade each with the enemies, of the other in all articles not contraband and to all places not blockaded, without any other exceptions.
On the 11th July sixteen hundred and seventy, another treaty of alliance was concluded with Denmark, the sixteenth article of which declares that "Neither of the parties shall be impeded in furnishing to the enemies of the other any merchandises whatever, excepting only articles of contraband, as described in the treaty, and ports and places besieged by the other."
It is worthy of notice in this treaty, and the remark is applicable to others that the 5th article having stipulated a right mutually to trade, in the kingdoms, provinces, marts, towns, ports and rivers of each other, it was immediately provided in the next article that, prohibited ports and colonies should be excepted.
If it had been conceived that such ports or colonies of enemies were not to be traded with, under the general right to trade with enemies, acknowledged in the sixteenth article, it is manifest that they would have been as carefully excepted in this as in the other case, out of the meaning of general terms equally comprehending them. This treaty proves that as early as sixteen hundred and seventy, colonies began to fall under attention in making treaties.
In a marine treaty of December 1, 1674, with the United Provinces, stating in the title that it was
"To be observed, throughout all and every of the countries and ports of the world by sea and land," it is stipulated again in article 1, to be "lawful for all and every the subjects of the most serene and mighty prince, the king of Great Britain, with all freedom and safety to sail, trade, and exercise any manner of traffic in all those kingdoms, countries, and estates, which are or any time hereafter shall be in peace, amity, or neutrality with his said majesty; so that they shall not be any ways hindered or molested in their navigation or trade, by the military forces nor by the ships of war, or any kind of vessels whatsoever belonging either to the high and mighty states general of the United Netherlands, or to their subjects, upon occasion or pretence of any hostility or difference which now is or shall hereafter happen between the said lords the states general, and any princes or people whatsoever, in peace, amity or neutrality with his said majesty;" - and so reciprocally.
Art. II. "Nor shall this freedom of navigation and commerce be infringed by occasion or cause of any war, in any kind of merchandises, but shall extend to all commodities which may be carried in time of peace, those only excepted which follow in the next article, and are comprehended in the name of contraband."
Art. III. enumerates the articles of contraband.
Art. IV. contains a negative list, which with all other articles not expressly included in the list of contraband, may be freely transported and carried to places under the obedience of enemies, except only towns or places besieged, environed, or invested.
This recital has been made the more minute, because it is necessary, in order to understand the whole force of the explanatory declaration between the parties bearing the same date; a document so peculiarly important in the present discussion, that its contents will be recited with equal exactness.
This document, after stating "that some difficulty had arisen concerning the interpretation of certain articles, as well in the treaty marine concluded this first day of December, 1674, as in that which was concluded the 17th February, 1667-8 between his majesty of Great Britain on the one part, and the states general, &c. on the other part," proceeds to state, "that sir William Temple &c. on one part, with eight commissioners on the other, have declared, and do by these presents declare, that the true meaning and intention of the said article is, and ought to be, that ships and vessels belonging to the subjects of either of the parties, can and might, from the time that the said articles were concluded, not only pass, traffic and trade, from a neutral port or place, to a place in enmity with the other party, or from a place in enmity to a neutral place, but also from a port or place in enmity to a port or place in enmity with the other party, whether the said places belong to one and the same prince or state, or to several princes or states, with whom the other party is in war. And we declare this is the true and genuine sense and meaning of the said articles; pursuant whereunto we understand that the said articles are to be observed and executed on all occasions, on the part of his said majesty, and the said states general, and their respective subjects; yet so that this declaration shall not be alleged by either party for matters which happened before the conclusion of the late peace in the month of February, 1673-4."
Prior to the peace, neither of them could claim the rights of neutrality against the other.
This declaratory stipulation has been said to be peculiarly important. It is so for several reasons.
1st. Because it determines the right of the neutral party, so far as may depend on the belligerent party, to trade not only between its own ports and those of the enemies of the belligerent party, without any exception of colonies, but between any other neutral port and enemies ports, without exception of colonial ports of the enemy; and moreover, not only between the ports, colonial as well as others, of one enemy and another enemy, but between the different ports of the same enemy; and consequently between one port and another of the principal country; between these and the ports of its colonies; between the ports of one colony and another, and even to carry on the coasting trade of any particular colony.
2d. Because it fixes the meaning not only of the articles in the two specified treaties; but has the same effect on all other stipulations by Great Britain expressed in the same or equivalent terms; one or other of which are used in most, if not in all her treaties on this subject.
3d. Because it made a part of the treaties explained, that free ships should make free goods; and consequently, the coasting and colonial trade, when combined with that neutral advantage, was the less likely to be acknowledged, if not considered as clearly belonging to the neutral party.
4th. Because the explanatory article was the result of the solicitation of England herself, and so actually claimed and enjoyed the benefit of the article, she being at the time in peace, and the Dutch in war with France.
In the treaty with France, February 24, 1677, article 1, 2, and 3, import that each party may trade freely with the enemies of the other, with the same merchandise as in time of peace, contraband goods only excepted, and that all merchandises not contraband, "are free to be carried from any port in neutrality, to the port of an enemy, and from one port of an enemy to another; towns besieged, blocked up or invested, only excepted."
In 1689, England entered into the convention with Holland, prohibiting all neutral commerce with France, then the enemy of both. - In consequence of the counter treaty of Sweden and Denmark, for defending their neutral rights against this violent measure, satisfaction was made according to Vattel, for the ships taken from them; without the slightest evidence, as far as can be traced, that any attempt was made by either of the belligerent parties, to introduce the distinction between such part of the trade interrupted, as might not have been allowed before the war, and as was therefore unlawful, and such part as having been allowed before the war
might not lawfully be subject to capture.
We are now arrived at the treaties of Utrecht, an epoch so important in the history of Europe, and so essentially influencing the conventional law of nations, on the subject of neutral commerce.
The treaty of navigation and commerce, March 31, 1713, between Great Britain and France, article xvii. imports that all the subjects of each party shall sail with their ships with all manner of liberty & security, no distinction being made who are the proprietors of the merchandizes laden, thereon, from any port, to the places of those who now are or shall hereafter be, of enmity with the Queen of Great Britain and the christian king," and "to trade with the same liberty and security from the places, ports and havens of those who are enemies of both or either party, without any opposition or disturbance whatsoever, not only directly from the places of the enemy aforementioned to neutral places, but also from one place belonging to an enemy, to another place belonging to an enemy, whether they be under the jurisdiction of the same prince or under several."
Art. xviii. "This liberty of navigation and commerce, shall extend to all kind of merchandizes, excepting those only which follow in the next article, and which are specified by the name of contraband."
Art. xix. gives a list of contraband which is limited to warlike instruments.
Art. xx. specifies others, many of which are in other treaties on the list of contraband, declaring that these with all other goods, not in the list of contraband in the preceding article may be carried and transported in the freest manner by the subjects of both confederates, even to places belonging to an enemy, such towns or places being only excepted as are at that time besieged, blocked up round about, or invested.
Could the principle maintained against Great Britain be more clearly laid down, or more strongly fortified by her sanction?
To give to this example the complete effect which it ought to have, several remarks are proper.
In the first place on comparing the description given by the free trade which might be carried on between the neutral party, and an enemy of the other party with the description of the free trade allowed between the parties themselves, by the 1st article of the treaty, it appears that in order to except the colonial trade in the latter case, the freedom stipulated in article I. is expressly limited to Europe.
The terms are, "that there shall be a reciprocal and entirely perfect liberty of navigation and commerce between the subjects on each part, through all and every the kingdoms, states, and dominions of their royal majesties in Europe." in the stipulation relating to the neutral commerce of either with the enemy of the other (who, if a maritime enemy, could not fail to possess colonies out of Europe) the terms are, "that all merchandizes, not contraband, may be carried in the freest manner to places belonging to an enemy, such towns or places only being excepted, as are at that time besieged, or blockaded, &c." without any limitation to Europe, or exception of colonies any where. It is obvious, that the terms here used comprehend all colonies, as much as the terms in the first article would have done, if colonies had not been excepted by limiting the freedom of trade to places "in Europe;" and consequently that if any distinction between the colonial and other places of an enemy, had been contemplated in the neutral trade of either party with him, as it was contemplated between the colonies and European possessions of the parties, in their commerce to be carried on between themselves, the distinction would have been expressed in the latter case, as it was in the former; and not being so expressed, the trade in the latter case was to be free to the colonies, as would have been in the former, if the colonies had not been excepted by the limitation of the trade of Europe.
Secondly. But the treaty not content with this necessary construction, in favor of a neutral commerce with the colonies of an enemy, proceeds, in conformity to the example in the declaratory convention between England and Holland in 1674, explicitly to declare the freedom of the neutral party, to trade not only from any port, to the places of an enemy, and from the places of an enemy to neutral places, but also from one place to another place belonging to an enemy, whether the places be under the same or different sovereigns. Here both the coasting trade and the colonial trade, which, in relation to the parent country, is in the nature of a coasting trade,
are both placed on the same footing with every other branch of commerce between neutral and belligerent parties, although it must have been well known, that both those branches are generally shut to foreigners in time of peace, and if opened at all, would be opened in time of war, and for the most part, on account of the war.
Thirdly. It is well known, that this particular treaty underwent great opposition and discussion, both without and within the British parliament; and that it was for some time under a legislative negative. Yet it does not appear, either from the public debates, or from the discussions of the press, as far as there has been an opportunity of consulting them, that the difficulty arose in the least from this part of the treaty. The contest seems to have turned wholly on other parts, and principally on the regulations of the immediate commerce between the two nations. This part of the treaty may be considered, therefore, as having received the complete sanction of Great Britain. Had it indeed been otherwise, the repeated sanctions given to it on subsequent occasions, would preclude her from making the least use of any repugnance shown to it on this.
On the 28th November, 1713, a treaty of peace and another of commerce and navigation, were concluded at Utrecht with Spain, renewing and inserting the treaty of May 13th, 1667, the 21st and 26th articles of which have been seen to coincide with the rules of neutral commerce, established by the treaty of Utrecht, between Great Britain and France.
Genoa and Venice were comprehended in the treaty of Utrecht, between Great Britain and Spain.
The above treaty of 1713, was confirmed by article 12, of a treaty of December 3, 1715, between Great Britain and Spain.
From the above date to the treaty of 1748, at Aix la Chapelle, the following treaties between England and other powers took place; in each of which, the principles established by her treaties at Utrecht are reiterated:
With Sweden, January 21, 1720, article 18.
With Spain, June 13, 1721, article 2 - confirming the treaty of 1667 and 1713.
With France and Spain, November 9, 1729, article 1; renewing all treaties of peace, of friendship and of commerce, and consequently those of Utrecht.
With the emperor of Germany and the United Netherlands, March 16, 1731, article 1; renewing all former treaties of peace, friendship and alliance.
With Russia, December 2, 1734; stipulating in article 2, a free trade between either party and the enemy of the other, in all articles except munitions of war; and consequently articles permitted after, tho' not permitted before the war.
With Spain (a convention) January 14, 1739, article 1; reiterating among former treaties, those of 1667 and 1713, above cited.
The treaty of Aix la Chapelle, concluded in 1748, forms another memorable epoch in the political system of Europe. The immediate parties to it were Great Britain, France and the United Provinces.
The 3d article of this treaty renews and confirms, among others, the treaties of Utrecht.
This treaty was acceded to by Spain, Austria, Sardinia, Genoa and Mobena.
In 1763, in the treaty between Great Britain, France and Spain, to which Portugal acceded, the first article expressly renews and confirms, among other treaties, the treaties of peace and commerce at Utrecht.
The treaty with Russia in 1766, article ten, stipulates a free trade between either party, being neutral, and an enemy of the other, with the sole exception of military stores, and places actually blockaded.
In a convention with Denmark, July 4, 1780, explanatory of a list of contraband settled in a former treaty, it is expressly determined that merchandise not contraband, may be transported to places in possession of enemies, without any other exception than those besieged or blockaded.
The treaty of peace in 1783 with France, by article eleven, renews and confirms among others, the treaties of Westphalia in 1648, of Utrecht in 1713, of Aix la Chapelle in 1748, and of Paris, 1763; in all of which the neutral right, now denied by Great Britain, was formally sanctioned by her stipulations.
In her treaty of the same date, with Spain, the same confirmation is repeated.
In the treaty of commerce again with France, in 1786, deliberately undertaken in pursuance of article eighteen of the treaty of 1783, the articles above recited from the treaty of Utrecht are inserted word for word; and thus received anew the most deliberate and formal sanction.
Chalm. vol. I, p. 350. It may be here again remarked, that although this treaty underwent the most violent opposition in Great Britain, it does not appear that the op-

position was at all directed against the articles on the subject of neutral commerce. The treaty of 1786 was explained and altered in several particulars, by a convention bearing date August 31, 1787; without any appearance of dissatisfaction, on either side, with the articles on neutral commerce. In the negotiations at Lille, in 1797, it was proposed on the part of Great Britain, by her ambassador, lord Malmesbury, to insert, as heretofore usual in the articles of peace, a confirmation of the treaties of Utrecht, Aix la Chapelle, etc. which was opposed by the French negotiators, for reasons foreign to the articles of those treaties in question. On this occasion, lord Malmesbury, in urging the proposed insertion, observed, "that those treaties had become the law of nations, and that if they were omitted it might produce confusion." This fact is attested by the negotiations, as published by the British government. (To be continued.)
that capital must fall into the power of the enemy, and yet they state the Emperor's positive determination not to make peace; it is therefore difficult to conceive what could induce him so suddenly to consent to so disgraceful a peace. But what affords still stronger grounds for doubt upon this subject is, that letters have been received in town this morning from the Hague, dated the 28th ult. which are perfectly silent upon the subject of a peace having been signed.
Last night we received some additional Paris papers, though not of a later date than those we had previously received. They confirm, however, what we stated a short time since respecting the failure of some of the principal Banking Houses of Paris. The following allusion is made to the subject in one of the French papers:
"We are assured that the creditors of the house of Recamier having had a meeting in consequence of the failure of their bank, in order to examine into the state of affairs, expected from its immense opulence, that they should have found the dowry of Madame Recamier set down at several millions French. It was not, therefore, without some astonishment, that they heard it declared that her dowry was only 80 000 livers, and that Madame Recamier had given it up to the creditors of her husband; such a conduct calls for no comment; it gives rise, at the same time, to many reflections."
It is also stated, that the houses of Grandin, Cassanac, and Co; Deville and Co.; F. Le Morne and Co.; Aubrey and Co.; and various others of equal credit and consideration, have likewise been obliged to stop payment. These events have occasioned the greatest alarm and confusion, and are attributed to the measures adopted by the Emperor, which have drawn away all the specie, and deprived the Bankers of the means of fulfilling their engagements.
In the same papers it is mentioned, that the terms which are now supposed to form the basis of the separate treaty between Austria and France, were brought to the head quarters of Bonaparte by the Austrian General Count Ginlay. On this subject the following observations are made in one of the Paris Journals.
"But what kind of peace could Austria expect, when she no longer possesses what might be offered to disarm the Conqueror? The Venetian States and the Tyrol had been objects of negotiation; indeed one of these countries might, a few weeks since, have been accepted as a guarantee; but as now both are reduced by our victorious arms, the heart of the Austrian monarchy is laid bare to our mercy. Under such disasterous circumstances, there is no room for negotiation; the will and humanity of the Conqueror must be submitted to."
The St. Petersburg Gazette contains an important article, from which it would appear that a complete understanding with respect to the objects and conduct of the war, had been established between the emperor of Russia and the king of Prussia, a circumstance which renders the intelligence of a separate treaty entered into by Austria still more inexplicable.
The details contained in the foreign papers become comparatively of little importance, until we are enabled to ascertain with certainty the truth or falsehood of the intelligence communicated by admiral Kikher. A few hours will probably decide upon this important point, or at least put us in possession of some further particulars relative to this subject.
The earl of Harrington, on Thursday last, kissed hands at Windsor, on receiving his majesty's appointment to go on a special embassy to the court of Vienna, on which his lordship was to have departed yesterday; but we believe this mission has been countermanded in consequence of the last disasterous advices received from the continent.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of science in London, to his correspondent in New York, dated Aug. 1, 1805.
"Since my last letter the Horticultural society has been fully established and from the important views it imposes, will probably prove an useful institution."
In imitation of the Royal Institute of Westminster, which was upon the plan of the National Institute of France, one has commenced in the city of London. Towards carrying it into execution, seventy five thousand pounds were subscribed in twenty four hours; had the subscription been open a few hours longer, one hundred
thousand pounds, would have been raised. Some who were discontented have begun another upon a less extensive scale, and it seem likely to succeed. As I thought that both were useful I have subscribed to each — There is another begun in Westminster upon the highest scale called the British and Irish, to promote arts and science in a national and extensive manner; so that at the same time that we are a fighting nation, we have become a philosophic one. I wish the latter may soften the asperity, and shorten the duration of the former.
The exertions of this nation are astonishing. In the midst of an expensive war, two docks have been excavated, one at the expence of one million; the other of one million and a half. The subscriptions were raised in a few hours, and the shares pay ten per cent. profit.
Still more surprising it is, that there should be, at the same, a national debt of 500 millions, which in reality is so much superfluous wealth. Some years ago Mr. Pitt began a sinking fund after a plan of Dr. Price's to pay off the national debt. It has liquidated 70 millions, and now proceeds at the rate of 6 million a year; but a time cannot be far distant when another act of parliament must be passed to stop its progress; for as the national debt is merely superfluous stock or wealth, beyond the demands of commerce, manufactures, and agriculture, were it paid off it must be lent to another nation, or laid by as dead capital. It may be asked who is to pay the interest of the national debt? Ultimately those who lent the principal, and they can well afford it. The wealth of this country is about 4000 millions, and a debt under 500 millions would be ruinous to the country. By this immense wealth national debt, or deposit of monied men, government could raise 20 or 30 millions sterling in 24 hours.
Pray what societies have you at New York? Have you not a natural history society? Have you one for promoting manufactures, arts and commerce? Is the society for the recovery of drowned persons well supported? — All these particularly seem to claim your patronage, and might be established under no great pressure of expense. If you have any statistical history or account of New York, I should be glad to peruse it. I possess already the valuable works of my friend Dr. Morse; I have Belknap's Massachusetts, and Ramsay's Carolina, but no distinct work on N. York."
Among some papers recently laid before the Senate of Massachusetts, was the following original message to the Governor, in the hand writing of one of the Stockbridge Indians, viz.
"FATHER ATTEND."
"We feel very thankful to that great, good Spirit by whose goodness we are enabled to talk with our Father the Governor, and lay before him, that caused our tears to run down our cheeks."
"That friendship which subsisted between your Forefathers and ours for a great length of time without any interruption or schism, gives a hope that your friendship with ours is in the same parallel. Although we must confess at once that our friendship with you has been neglected in some measures, but we hope no way abitterated."
"We the delegates of the Mambekuruk nation are to lay before the Legislators of this State, a petition for redress. The great, good Spirit, and the unceasing efforts of our Rev. Father (Mr. Sargeant) with our Chiefs to introduce literature and christian religion among our western brethren, have at the last, got their consent to receive an English schooling."
The Paradoxical Reel.
The grandfire with the grandam first the reel began,
Two fathers, and two mothers followed on, Two brothers and two sisters join'd the dance, Two husbands with their wives did then advance,
Two uncles and an aunt the next appear, With two sons and a daughter in their rear, Two cousins with a nephew and a niece, And one young grand son close the lively peice. Soon as the dance was through, they counted o'er,
And five were all the persons on the floor. Now I would ask, how hymen can contrive, To make this number count full twenty five!

BALTIMORE, Feb. 4.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
Captain Pierce of the ship Harriet, arrived last evening from Batavia, politely furnished us at a late hour, through the hands of an obliging commercial friend, with the London Sun of the 2d December, put in his possession by the captain of the British Barbadoes packet. Windsor Castle, which he spoke on his passage. Containing the following highly important statement of the Signing of a separate treaty between the Emperors of France and Austria, under the walls of Vienna.
The lateness of the hour we received the paper, has obliged us to confine our extracts to the annexed articles until our next publication.
[American.]
LONDON, Dec. 2
We on Saturday laid before our readers the distressing intelligence received from Holland, of the signature of a treaty of peace between the emperor of Germany and the French, the following is the letter from the Dutch Admiral Kikher:
Brutus, Nov. 4. 1805.
Rear Admiral Kikher, has the honor to inform the commander of any of his Britannic majesty's ships which are on the coast of Holland, that the important intelligence of peace having been signed between his majesty the emperor of the French and the emperor of Germany, under the walls of Vienna, has been received by an extraordinary Courier; and that the conditions were so settled, that until the ratification of the treaty Venice and the whole of the Tyrol, should continue in the hands of the French. — The arch duke Charles is dead with chagrin and fatigue. A more detailed account is every moment expected of the conditions of the treaty, among which it is said there is an article stating that the government of Austria is to pay to the emperor of the French FORTY MILLIONS OF LIVRES.
KIRKHERT.
Upon these facts communicated in this letter, we shall suspend our observations until they are confirmed by more authentic intelligence. There are some circumstances relative to this, which tend to excite suspicion. We have received the Batavian State Gazette of the twenty fifth ultimo, which is the same day that the Dutch admiral's letter is dated. That paper does not say one word upon the subject of a peace having been concluded, but it is certainly possible that the extraordinary courier, mentioned in admiral Kikher's letter might have arrived after the paper was put to press. It is however extremely improbable that the intelligence should have arrived at the Texel before it reached the Hague.
If an extraordinary courier had been dispatched with the news of a treaty of peace having been signed, he would naturally have gone in the first instance to the Hague, as the seat of government, and not to the Texel. The distance between the Hague and the Texel is something more than sixty miles, therefore if the dispatches did not arrive at the Hague till the 24th it is hardly possible they could have reached admiral Kikher on the same day, at the distance as we have already stated, of above sixty miles, and a part of the journey to be performed by water. To have enabled admiral Kikher to receive the news on the 25th at the Texel, it must have reached the Hague on the 24th at night and if it did, it is impossible to account for the circumstance of its not being inserted in the official paper of the next day. The accounts from Vienna are dated the 24th. At that time it was known that

District of Columbia, to wit: WHEREAS William Reed hath, by his petition in writing, applied to the hon. Nicholas Fitzhugh, one of the assistant judges of the circuit court of the district of Columbia, to be admitted to the benefit of the act of Congress for the relief of insolvent debtors, within the district aforesaid, and has stated therein that he is in actual confinement in the jail bounds of Alexandria county at the suit of Samuel Cooper, (use of George Lucke) and being unable to discharge the said claim with others against him, has offered to deliver up to the use of his creditors, all his property, real, personal, or mixed: Notice is therefore given to the creditors of the said William Reed, that on Friday the 7th inst. at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, at the court-house in Alexandria, the oath of an insolvent debtor will be administered to the said William Reed, and a trustee appointed agreeable to the said act of Congress, unless cause be then and there shown to the contrary.
By order of the hon. Nicholas Fitzhugh, assistant judge of the circuit court of the district of Columbia, this 3d day of February, 1806. G. Deneale, c. c. February 3.
Twenty Dollars Reward, WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle-serry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a fensle fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Caufin, at Port Tobacco.

I deem it unnecessary to mention her clothing, as the length of time which she has been absent has given her an opportunity of changing them. I will give the above reward to any person or persons, who will either deliver her to me, or confine her in any goal, so that I get her again, and all reasonable charges I will also pay.

Valuable Lands and Negroes, FOR SALE. THE Subscriber desirous of disposing of his distant property, so as to bring his affairs more within his reach and management, offers for sale the following lands and negroes, at prices to reduced as to claim the attention of persons willing to invest money in such property, viz. CHATHAM, that elegant and highly improved seat on the banks of the Rappahannock River, directly opposite the town of Fredericksburg, containing about eleven hundred acres, four hundred of which are in wood, and valuable timber, the rest in cultivation, and pleasure grounds—The land in tillage is level, a considerable part of it has been highly manured, and the whole of it well adapted to the culture of grain, small grain, and Indian corn, as the crop now growing will attest. The house and offices are of brick, and on a large and handsome scale, with a garden in front containing four acres, laid off with taste and well planted, with the choicest fruit trees, now in full bearing, and ornamented with forest trees and shrubs of almost every description.—There is on the estate adjoining the river, a grist-mill built of free stone, containing the modern machinery and two pair of stones, one of them French Burs—it commands a large country custom, is well situated for merchant business, and has rented for five hundred dollars per annum exclusive of all the grain of the farm hopper free, which is equal to three hundred dollars more.—There are all necessary out houses, for either convenience or luxury, such as ice-house, spring-house, barn, stable, offices, &c. &c. With all these advantages and expensive improvements, this property is offered at a price which the lands alone ought to command. There are also some valuable fisheries, and quarries of free stone on this estate.
Also, a tract of land generally called Clark's, about two miles below Chatham, on the north bank of the Rappahannock river, and within view of the town of Fredericksburg, containing upwards of four hundred acres. About one hundred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahannock river bottom in cultivation, and is well adapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the residue is in wood, surrounding a height, which furnishes a beautiful site for building. Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, adjoining Stafford court house, containing upwards of twelve hundred acres. This is good farming land, and has several tenants on it. Also, a tract of land in Westmoreland and Richmond counties, containing upwards of two thousand acres, on which there are also several tenants. These two last mentioned tracts of land will be sold in small tenements, or in entire tracts, as may best suit the wishes of purchasers. Also, a tract of land called Boyd's Hole, containing about one hundred and fifty acres, on the banks of the Potomac, in King George county, on which there are a comfortable dwelling house, store and tobacco inspection ware house. Few situations combine more advantages, it being an excellent stand for a store, ferry and tavern, the two first of which are at present kept there. The houses have lately been put in good repair, and the buildings alone will rent for three hundred dollars a year. The land is good in quality, and the situation abounds in fish, oysters and wild fowl.
Also, a valuable Scite for a Mill, with 50 acres of Land adjoining, in King George county, and not far distant from the last mentioned tract. There has been a mill here for many years which has lately gone to decay, the dam is substantial and entire, and the situation for a country mill not equalled in that neighborhood; commanding a very extensive custom; the land is covered with cedar, which alone renders it very valuable. Also, several Lots and Houses in the town of Fredericksburg. Likewise, about two hundred and thirty NEGROES, of different ages, sizes and description. A party of them by families will be preferred; to effect this they will be offered at a reduced price. As a part of these Negroes are at present attached to the Chatham estate, the purchaser of that property may be accommodated with any number of them, as well as flock or every description. Bank Stock of any of the Banks in Virginia, Maryland, or the district of Columbia, will be received in payment for any part of this property at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber is unable to attend to property so distant, is anxious to convert it into stock. He will also rent a number of FARMS on his Ravensworth estate, containing from 2 to 400 acres each, on encouraging terms, to good farmers. They lay from eight to ten miles distant from Alexandria, George-Town, and the City of Washington, and convenient to the turnpike road now building from Alexandria to the upper country.
