CAMBDEN is a dark mulatto, his hair rather inclined to curl, and lately cut also in the same manner as Billy's; well set, and when walking has his eyes turned towards the ground, as if looking for something: about 14 years of age. A liberal reward will be paid for apprehending them within this common- wealth, and giving information of the same to Mr. William Hay of Richmond, or the subscriber, living near the Stone Bridge, Fre- derick county.

PUBLIC AUCTION. To be sold, at public auction, at Northum- berland court house, in the county of Nor- thumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court- house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is under- stood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds, as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water car- riage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Ba- timore, Alexandria, and the city of Wash- ington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shewn to persons in- clining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadel- phia.

"And once," I cry, "those eyes so sweet, On me with fondness deign'd to shine; For once I felt his bosom beat Against the conscious throbs of mine! Nor shall the dear remembrance die." Mrs. Opie.
O friend belov'd! though distant far, On thee my thoughts continual bend; Still, still art thou the polar star To which my fond affections tend.
The breezy hill, the shel't'ring grove Where erst with thee my moments flew, (Scenes, dear to friendship as to love) Are ever present to my view.
From pain and sorrow thee to save, My morning oraisons arise; For thee, I, nightly, blessings crave, Ere slumbers close my weeping eyes. But dost thou ever think of her, Who constant mourns a hapless lot? O friend belov'd! tho' distant far, "Forget me not, forget me not!" AN EXILE.
LOVELY WOMAN.
The blast of war may loudly blow, The note of animation, Yet valor, what inspires thy glow, Like woman's approbation?
Woman, without thy dazzling charms, The world were wrapt in shade; Cold were the clarion's call to arms, And laurel'd wreaths would fade.
Then, lovely sex, with magic smile, 'Still point our hopes, our cares beguile, With glory, love and duty, Shall warm, Alarm, Inspire, And fire, To gain the meed of beauty.
In this day's paper we have re-published from the American Daily Advertiser , a document respecting the exports of Great Britain. We shall not notice those topics to which it refers, but confine ourselves to a point which excites our surprise, and upon which we think there must be some mistake.
The report states that the exports from Britain to the United States amounted in the year 1807, to 11,774,000 pounds sterling, or 52,125,600 dollars. We have no report from the treasury department of the U. S. of the imports for the year 1807, specifying the amount imported from each nation, nor are such reports, as far as we have remarked, customary. However we have documents before us to satisfy our mind that there never could have been exported from Britain to the U. S. goods to the amount of 52,125,600 dollars. When the non-importation bill was under discussion, a report was made to congress, by the secretary of the treasury, which report took a very copious view of our commercial relations with all nations, more particularly with Great Britain, and which is dated Feb. 28, 1806.
The amount of goods imported from G. Britain for the year ending the 30th Sept. 1805, is stated to be Upon goods paying ad valorem duties, 26,060,000 Upon goods paying specific duties, such as salt, steel, lead, nails, porter, &c. 1,340,000
Dollars 27,400,000 From other documents we find the average imports from Great Britain to the U. S. for the years 1802, 1803 and 1804, to be 26,650,333 dollars, differing but little from the year 1805.
The report to which we have referred, states the amount of imports from ALL the British dominions as follows: From Great Britain as above stated, 27,400,000 British East-Indies, 3,530,000 British West-Indies, 4,570,000 Dominions in North-Am. 540,000
Dollars 36,040,000 From these statements, it is obvious that the estimate laid before the British parliament, must be incorrect, unless we are to suppose, that the difference in amount be-
tween 27 millions of dollars, as stated by the treasury reports, and 52 millions, as stated in the British report, is smuggled into the United States. The difference is so great that we know not how to account for it, and we shall greatly thank any of our correspondents for some information upon the subject. We understand that a custom prevails in Britain, that may in some measure account for the difference. When a ship is put up for freight, as a general ship, the persons who propose to ship goods, take out cockets or permits to lade on board such a ship; these cockets generally specify double the amount afterwards shipped.
If the report made to the House of Commons, are taken from the cockets, they must be greatly erroneous. We, however, do think, in a country where commerce is so much attended to as in England, such palpable and important errors would be corrected. It is certain that the secretary of the treasury's reports are more to be relied on, unless, as we before remarked, false entries are made at the custom-house, and that instead of collecting duties on 52 millions, duties are paid on 27 millions only.
From Paulson's American Daily Advertiser MR. POULSON,
While I rejoice, exceedingly, in the adjustment of differences which has lately been made with Great Britain, I think it right to submit the annexed statement to the public view. It was laid before parliament a short time ago, and it will answer a double purpose in convincing those politicians who encourage discord with England, that there is more danger in diverting our valuable trade out of secure and established channels, than of coercing Great Britain into an adoption of terms, by ruinous restraints upon American commerce.
AMICUS.
June 24, 1809.
In a statement made on the 6th March, it appeared that, on a comparison of the exports from Great Britain in the year ending October 10th, 1808, with the average of the two preceding years it stood thus: From England only, as the accounts from Scotland could not be made up for the broken period.
Exports to the American states, in the average of 1806, and 1807, £ 11,774,000 Decrease to the U. S. in 1808, 5,784,000 Increase to the other parts of America in 1808, beyond the average of 1806, and 1807, 4,230,000 Loss in 1808, as compared with the 2 preceding years, 1,760,000 To set against which loss of 1,760,000. was to be taken the mercantile profit on 4,250,000. in the capital employed in shipping and the avoidance of bad debts.
The whole diminution of the export trade of the country confined to England, as above was
   Br. Goods. Foreign. Total.     To all parts of America as above 1,613,000 147,000 1,750,000   All other parts of the world 2,357,000 2,057,000 4,414,000  
£ 6,174,000
That appeared to be no discouraging state of the trade of the country, considering the non-importation law in America; and the very rigorous measures adopted by Bonaparte for excluding British trade from the continent, under his power or influence; but it is to be observed that though the commercial accounts could not then be made up to a later period than the 10th October, it was believed that on the conclusion of the year at Christmas, the result would be much more favorable, and so it proved.
EXPORTS.
Official value; British manufactures from Great Britain: This was the greatest export except one, and very nearly equal to that.
Year ending Jan. 5th 1807 £ 27,402,000 1808 25,171,000 1809 26,692,000
The last year to Jan. 5th, 1809, greater than the one preceding, ending 5th Jan. 1808, by 1,521,000 And greater than the average of 1807 and 1808, by 416,000 This last statement shows not only the extraordinary flourishing state of the country but the rapid increase of it under the most rigorous inflictions of France, and the restrictive measures adopted in the American states, from the comparison of the accounts made up for the year to Michaelmas
last, and the one to the 5th of Jan. last. In the year to Michaelmas there was a falling off the exports from England of British manufactures, as compared with the average of the two former years to all parts of the world, of £ 6,175,000
In the year of January last, the value of the same exports was greater than the average of the two former years, by 1,521,000 Which immense increase must have been the Christmas quarter.
In the export of our cotton manufactures the account is still more remarkable. Year ending Jan. 5th 1807 9,896,000 1808 9,346,000 1809 12,835,000
This excess rising principally from new sources of trade having been opened. And the raw material (cotton wool) coming in such abundance, that the price which six months ago was from 3s. 3d. to 3s. 5d. per lb. is now at 1s. 10d. and the market dull. It may be had in any quantities from India, and a very large supply from Brazil.
Further great benefits have been derived in the last year, from the employment of British shipping to the Spanish and Portuguese settlements, to our free ports in the West Indies, and to the British colonies on the continent of America—and at present the demand is so great, that ships can be hardly had at any price. 10 a ton is now paying for freight to America, which last year was 6/10 to 17/. The West India islands have suffered little except from the want of slaves, which may be had in the greatest abundance from Canada. The legislature of Jamaica are so sensible of this that they are imposing protecting duties in favor of the continental colonies. Convoys are appointed, and British ships from the colonies will be employed to a great extent. There are great importations of flax seed from the Mediterranean of a superior quality, and in future large supplies may be had from thence.
FROM A LONDON PAPER. State of the Woolen Manufacture, from the 25th of March, 1808, to 25th March 1809.
   NARROW CLOTHS.   Pieces. Yards.     Milled this year, 144,621 mak. 5,309,007   Last year, 161,916 5,391,253   Decreased, 17,195 82,246  
   BROAD CLOTHS.   Pieces. Yards.     Milled this year, 279,859 9,050,070   Last year, 262,024 8,422,143   Increase, 17,835 628,927   Total increase in yards, 6,581  
The increase of 628,927 yards in broad cloths ought to be particularly remarked to those who are unacquainted with the minutiae of the manufacture, as being at least in a double proportion to the decrease in the narrow. And it thus appears, notwithstanding all the prohibitory decrees of the enemy without, and the anxious efforts of the enemy at home to represent us as a "sinking country," that our manufactures have, during the last year, increased in the aggregate 6,581 yards!!
But there is another consideration worth the notice of our readers:—In March 1808, the stock of cloth on hand was very great. The reverse is now the case: and instead of lamentations we find cause for exultation, that under the forced and untenable restrictions against our export trade, during the last twelve months, more woolens have been manufactured, and considerably more sold, than in the last or the preceding year.

PHILADELPHIA, July
Anniversary of American Independence
The thirty fourth anniversary of which declared the United States free, sovereign and independent, has been celebrated in this city, in a manner worthy of the occasion. In the splendor of military displays, and the convivial meetings of citizens, every demonstration has been the heartfelt joy which animates every American, while he contemplates the blessings of civil and religious liberty which his country enjoys; and which the same that achieved the revolution, will be unimpaired to distant posterity.
The Pennsylvania society of the nation, the remnant of our revolutionary veterans, to whom the political birthday of their country is peculiarly dear, having met at the state house to transact the business of the Society—The following pathetic introductory of the annexed resolution made by colonel Francis Johnston Society.
Mr. President, And Brethren of the Cincinnati,
This present anniversary of our independence may, perhaps, be the last we will collect so many of us thus happily together. In order then to avail ourselves of the fleeting moment, I cannot conceive a more consonant to justice or congenial feelings, than to record on our annals the honorable achievements of our late companions in arms, who had fought, and bled, and nobly died in their country's cause. To enumerate all the worthies of this division is by no means my present intention; it would require a large, luminous and valled volume to register the honored names.—Permit me then, my dear friend, barely to mention the name of WAYNE . GENERAL ANTHONY WAYNE, early, undisguised, firm and undaunted patriot!—the brave, persevering and daunted warrior!—whom disaster, disappointment and distress in the early stage of his military career, never appalled nor dismayed—whose military fame, though perpetuated by government on monument brass or marble, still remains recorded in the hearts of his countrymen—GENERAL WAYNE was at the early stage of our revolution, awakened to a just sense of his country's wrongs, and gloriously prompted to risk his life in its defence. The honored neglected remains of this once highly venerated member of our society, now lying in dreary, inhospitable beach of Lake Erie, within the proud limits of the great flourishing state of Pennsylvania—a state of which, with honest pride we so boast, as the place of our nativity—yet shameful to relate! this patriot and hero, hath not a "Hic jacet" inscribed on a small stone, nor even a little memento, any kind, erected to his glorious memory, although, if I am correctly informed, applications for this purpose, have again been made to the governing power.—What! no memento, no monument ever reared by a protected country? A country protected against a "set of savages rushing forth against us, for their dark lurking places; brandishing their murderous knives; sparing neither age nor sex; neither the hoary sire nor the hopeful son; neither the tender virgin nor the helpless babe"—And yet a savage and ruthless foe be vanquished, a signal and brilliant conflict—and soon a victim to the fatigues he had endured in the service of his country. Certainly my brethren of the Cincinnati, it behoves us "to drop a tear over his scattered ashes"—"and if perchance our footsteps should touch that hapless shore that drank in his blood—gently Oh! gently, let us tread "mong his uncoffined bones!"
Mr. President,
Having thus briefly stated to this Society the situation of the names of our illustrious brother, I beg leave to move that a sum of money (if the rules of our society will permit of it) be immediately appropriated out of our own funds, being the fruits of our own toil and blood—not depending upon any government for any aid in similar cases, in order to erect a plain, unornamented monument (as his own name thereon will be its richest ornament) to the memory of Major General Anthony Wayne, commander in chief, at the time of his decease, of the armies of the United States, with a view to perpetuating his memory and our affection for him individually, as well as a society—for his patriotism, bravery, and distinguished services rendered to his country.
The members, under the influence of the most respectful and affectionate remembrance of their gallant associate in arms

passed the following resolution, to do justice to his worth, by erecting a monument to his memory.
Resolved, That the sum of five hundred dollars be appropriated to erect a monument to the memory of General ANTHONY WAYNE, formerly a member of this Society, and that the same be applied under the direction of Colonel Johnston, Major Jackson and Mr. Binney.

After getting clear, informed that they could not free the pumps—she was not to be seen next morning.

SUMMARY.
By the declaration of the French emperor, concerning Bavaria, it is evidently his determination to augment the territory and power of Bavaria, and place that monarchy in a position so formidable, as to form a potent barrier to the confederation of the Rhine—very probably the Danube will be the boundary of Bavaria in the east, and a new kingdom may be constituted out of part of Lower Austria, Austria, Carinthia, Carniola, and Styria, with Dalmatia and Istria; it is very probable that Bohemia, Moravia, Polish Galicia, and Austrian Silesia, will be taken from the infatuated house of Lorraine, and if Francis be permitted to retain the kingdom of Hungary, it will be wholly owing to the policy or magnanimity of the conqueror. Very probably Poland may be resuscitated, and Saxony remunerated for the duchy of Warsaw in Bohemia, Moravia or Silesia; or the kingdom of Westphalia united with Holland, and Jerome placed on the throne of Bohemia and Moravia.
The emperor of Russia had required the assemblage of a congress at Yassy, in Moldavia, to whom he has declared his determination to retain under his authority the countries bordering on the left of the Danube, which had been so long the source of quarrels with the Turks. The minister of the Porte at Yassy opposed the occupation, and set off for Constantinople, but a powerful Russian force had already come in aid of the determination.
The conscription in the duchy of Warsaw only amounted to 9000 men; in this conscription the Jews were obliged to furnish their proportion in common with other sects. The three divisions of the Saxo-Polish army, were under the command of prince Poniatowsky, generals Dumbrowski and Zajenbeck; they were to march to the frontier of Austrian Poland, called Galicia.—This army has a powerful artillery.
The king of Wirtemberg, has been put in possession of the Austrian principality of Mergustheim, and its union has been proclaimed.
The French emperor, it would seem, means to remain a considerable time in Germany, as not only the civil officers of government, but those of the domestic establishment have proceeded to the army.
The arch-duke John of Austria, commanded the troops destined to invade Italy, general Chastelar, and general Wiesunwolf, those in the Tyrolese.
The French emperor is stated in one of the papers to have declared that the emperor of Austria shall cease to reign.
We learn that there was no notice taken of American affairs in France, except among our own people. Gen. Armstrong was at Paris, and meant to remain.
The canal of the north is proceeding to its completion with the greatest activity; the second section of this canal, which unites the Meuse and the Rhine, passing by Nevers,
and emptying itself at Venloo, is three parts completed; the fourth part will unite the Rhine with the Nethé, and is 14,000 metres, (three leagues) long.
The reserve of the grand army at Ratisbon, was commanded by general Oudinot; the divisions were those of generals Tharau, Boudet, and Claparede, and the cuirassiers commanded by general count Es-pagne.
Before the action of the 21st April, the emperor Napoleon harangued the Bavarian troops to this effect:—"Remember this is to be the last war with which you will be troubled with the house of Austria."
The prince of Bavaria so much distinguished himself in the action of the 20th, that the emperor embraced him on the field of battle.

Copies of the three Decrees in favor of the commerce of Great-Britain.
1. In consequence of urgent instances of the minister of his Britannic majesty, the supreme central and governing junta of the kingdom, and in the royal name of his majesty Ferdinand the 7th commands, that in this custom house, and in all the privileged custom houses of this province English goods shall be admitted without any limitation or restriction, and that the duty shall be paid for the same at the rates only at which they were charged before the war in 1804. By order of his majesty this notification is made to your excellency, both for information and observance of the same—May God preserve you many years.
(Signed) SAAVEDRA. Seville, Feb. 28, 1809.
2. In order that in the existing circumstances, all impediments may be as much as possible removed, which interrupt the intercourse with English ships, and induced, by repeated applications of the minister of his Britannic majesty, the same supreme central and governing junta, &c. &c. have determined to permit all English goods disembarked in our ports, which may not be sold in the country, to be re-exported on the payment only of two per cent. and no further duties are, in such case, to be required. By order of his majesty, this notification is made, &c. &c. (ut ante.)
(Signed)
SAAVEDRA.
3. The near alliance which subsists between this court and that of London, and in consequence of the assistance the latter has given us, which deserves to be returned by our warmest attachment and most profound respect. His majesty has condescended to allow to the ships of Great Britain to convey to the ports of Spain the articles of bacallo (dried cod fish) the same duties being payable thereon, which were required before the war of 1779—such cargoes so received may be sent to our settlements in America, in the national vessels.
By order of his majesty this notification is made, &c. &c. (ut ante.) (Signed)

LONGEVITY.
There died in Feb. 1805, at Gloves, near Athenry, in Ireland, of a short illness, Dennis Corobee, of Ballendangin, aged 117 years. The life of this man was remarkable not only for its duration, but for its exemption from most of the evils of humanity. He retained his mental and corporeal faculties in full vigor to the last. Three weeks before his death, he walked out and home 26 miles in one day, and read the smallest print without glasses, as distinctly and easily as a boy of sixteen. Two days previous to his death, he never remembered to have had any complaint or sickness whatever, tooth-ache excepted. The first 56 years of his life passed entirely free from even the tooth-ache; having enjoyed till then sound teeth. After that period, his teeth began to decay; but, in the course of 15 year, a new set appeared of which he continued in possession till his death.
Of his moral character, it is only recorded, that he was steadfastly an honest man; sober, regular, and perfectly upright in his deportment. His mind was naturally strong and acute, not disciplined by a literary education, but enriched by observation and experience. He spent his life in the cultivation of the same farm, the property of which he acquired in early life, and bent his attention chiefly to agriculture, in which he was generally allowed to be eminently proficient. He was one of the earliest who introduced & propagated the potato, which he cultivated for the last seventy years.
He was seven times married. He was first married at the age of 21. With his last wife who survived him, he lived longer than with any of the previous ones, that is, 24 years, having married her when 93 years old. In general they were short lived, and were young women of his immediate neigh-
borhood. The years of his widowhood, had, taken together, amounted to 11. All the children born to him were 48, which is on an average, one for every two years, since the first year of his marriage. He had three sets of twins; and his third wife bore him 11 children in 12 years.
His grand children were in number 236, which is a little more than five to each child. His great-grand children amounted to 944, which is more proportionally, than 6 to each child. He had 25 great great grand children, the oldest of whom is now 4 years old. Of 1253 descendants of his body, 487 survived him.
By his last wife, he had 6 sons, the youngest of whom is a fine lad of 18.
These facts are extracted from a register kept by the old man, of the names, births, marriages, deaths, and general situation of his wives and descendants. The keeping of this register was his principal amusement; and his descendants being scattered far and wide over the earth, he took great pains to make the catalogue exact and complete. It is to be hoped that some curious person may rescue this document from oblivion, by committing it to the press. It must certainly lead to some very valuable inferences, as to the constitution of human bodies and of human society.
FROM THE AURORA.
The Paris Argus of the 5th May, contains the following paragraph:
"We have received American papers to the 7th March, which contain the speech of the new president, Mr. Madison, when he took the oath of office in the chamber of the house of representatives. Our readers will perceive from the extract which we copy from that discourse, that Mr. Madison appears to follow the footsteps of his predecessor. He complains bitterly of the ruinous effects of the maritime war upon the commerce of the United States: these complaints evidently fall upon the first authors of the outrages upon neutral flags. We must, as we have over and over said, and as the whole experience of half a century proves, trace the cause of the war and all the injuries complained of by neutrals, in the monopolizing and tyrannical system of the English: that monopoly and that tyranny are the monsters against which France has combated, almost alone, for the last fifteen years, at its own cost, although for the good of all nations. We are persuaded that the new president will be supported in his system, by the great majority of the American people, and by those merchants, who are more attached to the honor, independence and permanent interests of their country, than to the ephemeral profits of an odious selfishness."
BOSTON, July 4.
From the Havanna, June 12.
"The San Francisco, de Paula, of 74 guns, arrived this morning from Vera Cruz, with 7 millions of dollars for Spain, and two for this place. Mr. Anderson, American agent, has closed his office, and by express orders of the governor will take his departure in a few days."
From Portsmouth (N. H.) July 5, 1809.
"Undoubtedly verbal accounts will have reached Boston ere this come to your hands, of a most tragical and distressing event which took place at Port Constitution (in this harbor) between 4 and 5 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, by the blowing up of two chests of powder and about 30 cartridges of 6 and 8 pound, making about 300 wt. of powder in the whole, which killed and wounded 14 or 15 citizens and soldiers.—Seven were killed almost instantly or died within a few hours. The lives of several others are despaired of. Being on the spot a little after the shocking event took place, I minuted the following names among the killed and wounded (some others were missing) viz."
Sergeant Albert, Theodore Witham, Reo Gannoth, Samuel Stevens, Gideon Gould, Edmund Aurd, John Ricker, Robert Miller, Peletiah M'Daniels, Ephraim Pickering, esq. of Newington, and a young man by the name of Paul, of Kittery; these two latter had just landed to see the fort. John Mitchel of New Castle, and two or three others whose names I could not ascertain. To prevent any exaggerated stories being circulated, I send you this information; and am yours respectfully.
C. PEIRCE."

TO MILLERS.
I HAVE invented a machine called a Wheat Rubber , for which I obtained a patent on the first day of this month. This machine may be seen in operation in the mill of Nathaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those millers, who feel an interest in investigating its merit and have not an opportunity of visiting Occoquan, may be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott, by letter. My Wheat Rubber , I do verily believe is upon entire new principles, the cost of erecting it a trifle, the materials of which it is composed easily attainable in any part of our country, and the plan simple in the extreme: any workman of common capacity will be enabled to erect it from description only. Practical millers know, that in a great proportion of the wheat that comes to market (from the manner it is stacked in the fields by the farmer and exposed to the weather) a number of sprouted and unsound grains mingle with the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity of the miller to separate it from the sound grain—they also know those unsound grains injure materially the taste and color of flour—my machine not only frees the wheat of stone, onion, cockle, dirt, &c. but does absolutely take from it every unsound grain, from what cause soever it may have been injured, as my machine will not let any unsound wheat pass it—millers may have their screen wire much finer than hitherto used, and thereby save considerably—it will also be found that the grain in passing the rubber, is polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat is picked perfectly clean of dust or dirt. Some instances having occurred of certificates being obtained, saying much more in favor of a new invention than the public are willing to admit after trial—I hope it will be a sufficient apology for my taking a different course. My price for the privilege of using the rubber is fifty dollars for each pair of wheat stones the mill contains. Letters directed to me post paid shall be attended to.

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendant of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them.
He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.

Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend?
What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid?
Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal,
And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil—
Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis.

One half acre of Ground, situate at the south east corner of Duke and Royal-streets, on which there are two excellent brick dwelling houses, one of which is an elegant three story house built within the last year, finished in the handsomest stile, and calculated to accommodate a large family.—This lot will be divided if required, to suit purchasers.

ALSO, At the same time and place will be sold, An unimproved half acre Lot of Ground, situated at the corner of Cameron and Henry streets.

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.
