A great Bargain may be had.
I wish to exchange seven or eight hundred acres of LAND, in Fairfax county, formerly Loudoun county, for good lands in the western country. It lies near Sugar Land Run , it is finely timbered and watered, good farming land, about 18 miles from the City of Washington , 20 from Alexandria , and 2 from the Potomac river. There are two tenements and an excellent orchard on the premises, about 70 bushels of wheat sown last fall and a good deal of clover, which grows finely, the soil being well adapted to the Plaister of Paris, from the fullest experiments—the title indisputable. Any person making early application may get an advantageous exchange. Application, by letter, to the subscriber in Alexandria , will be duly attended to. B. DADE.

CONTINUATION OF Late Foreign Intelligence, From London papers to the 1st of February received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by the ship Oliver, Lisworth.
LONDON, January 18.
Hints are thrown out of a congress for a general peace, to be assembled through the mediation of Prussia. The emperor Alexander returned to Petersburg on the 21st ultimo, and an official statement of the reasons which induced his majesty to withdraw his troops from the Austrian dominions has been published in the court Gazette. There is yet no authentic intelligence of the Russian and English troops which landed at Naples having re-embarked; but in the 37th bulletin of the French army general St. Cyr is stated to be on his march "to punish the queen of Naples." It is probably Bonaparte's intention to add a considerable portion of his Sicilian majesty's dominion to his favorite kingdom of Italy, and we are much afraid, it will be impossible to prevent him from carrying this plan into effect.
It is confidently reported that a convention was signed by the count Haugwitz and Talleyrand, which settles in the mean time the affairs of Hanover, and secures our troops. This convention contains in substance that:
The English and Allied troops shall retire behind the Weser;
That the recruiting for the German legions shall cease;
That no more English troops shall be sent to Hanover;
That the armies of prince Louis and Augereau shall not advance; the former not to pass the frontiers of Holland, the latter not to pass the Rhine.
Prussia engages to oblige the English troops to evacuate Hanover within a given time, not to exceed three months from the signing of the convention. In the mean time the French garrison Hameln is to be supplied with provisions.
The project for another convention was drawn up by the king of Sweden, lord Cathcart, the Russian general Tolstoy, and the Prussian general Kalkreuth. The project was more favorable for the allies. It proposed they should retain their actual positions; that there should be no obstruction to the recruiting and sending reinforcements to the British troops. Major general Pfuch, was the bearer of this proposal, but he was met by Haugwitz, and brought back to Berlin.
It is also reported that Prussia is to cede to Prussia and Anspach to Bavaria; and it is likewise said east Friesland and Emden to Denmark, for which she is to be indemnified by receiving part of Hanover, namely Luneburgh and Lunenburgh, the territories of Bremen, &c. But she is to cede Lubeck. Bonaparte it is said, has declared that the Electoral dignity shall be conferred on a neighboring prince supposed to be the duke of Brunswick, others say the king of Denmark, as duke of Oldenburgh.
The electors of Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and Baden, have taken possession of all the property of the Teutonic and Maltese Orders in their territories.
The Vienna Gazette on the 25th ultimo in the course of several articles states that the French army upon leaving Austria, will march in order to be employed in the expedition against England.
A report has obtained in this city, that T. Majendie, admiral Villeneuve's captain who has been allowed to proceed to France by way of Holland, with proposals for a general exchange of prisoners, is also the bearer of some propositions which may lead to opening a correspondence between the two countries explanatory of their future views at the present crisis, and so far not unfavorable to the hopes of those who believe that peace may yet be obtained by the sacrifice of a little punctilio.
The whole of the baggage of his royal highness the duke of Cambridge, which was intended to have been embarked for the continent, arrived yesterday in town from Harwich.
January 20.
The electorate of Hanover it is suggested will be given to the duke of Brunswick, with some accession of territory.
Bonaparte not only gives the law in the disposal of kingdoms, but in matrimony. His son-in-law Eugene Beauharnois, it is reported, is to marry the princess Augusta of Bavaria, and master Jerome a princess of the house of Wirtemberg.
The report of the king of Spain's demise, appears to have arisen from a very severe illness. He has been attacked by
an apoplectic fit, and his life is by the last accounts said to be in great danger.
Saturday the amount of the contributions to the Patriotic Fund received at Lloyd's, was one hundred and twenty six thousand pound, of which seventy one thousand five hundred pounds were received at places of divine worship.
The Gazette of last night contains a proclamation for a General Fast, to be observed throughout England and Ireland, on Wednesday the 26th day of February next, for the purpose of imploring the divine blessing and assistance of his majesty's arms, for the restoration of peace and prosperity.
The Gazette also contains an Order in Council, prohibiting the exportation of salt petre, arms, and ammunition.
The Gazette also contains an Order in Council directing the quarantine laid upon all ships, persons, goods and merchandizes which may arrive in any of the ports of this kingdom, or the Isles of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, or Man, from any of the ports in the states of Pennsylvania, or New York, be taken off.
STUTGARD, January 1.
This day, in the forenoon, the agreeable intelligence of this creation of the electorate into a monarchy was announced here by the ringing of bells, and the discharge of 100 pieces of cannon, partly before, and partly after Divine Service. A herald has also proclaimed the event in all the public places, which has been received with loud acclamations, and every demonstration of joy.
SCHONBRUNN, Dec. 29.
Before the emperor Napoleon left this place he published the following
PROCLAMATION TO THE ARMY.
"Soldiers, "Peace between me and the emperor of Austria is signed. You have in this late season of the year made two campaigns; you have performed every thing I expected from you. I am setting out to return to my capital. I have promoted and distributed rewards to those who have most distinguished themselves; I will perform to you every thing I have promised. You have seen that your emperor has shared with you all dangers and fatigues; you shall likewise see him surrounded with all that grandeur and splendor which becomes the sovereign of the first nation in the world. In the beginning of the month of May I will give a grand festival at Paris; you shall all be there; and we shall there see whether we are called by the happiness of our country, and the interest of our glory."
"Soldiers, during the three months which are necessary for you to return to France, be the example of all armies. You have now to give examples not of courage and intrepidity, but of strict discipline; may my allies no more have to complain of your behaviour! Conduct yourselves, on your arrival in that sacred territory like children in the bosom of their family. My people will conduct themselves towards you, as they must ever do towards their heroes and their defenders."
"Soldiers, the thought that I shall see you all in less than half a year assembled round my palace, is pleasing to my heart; and I feel before hand the most delightful emotions. We shall celebrate the memory of those, who in these two campaigns have fallen in the field of honour. The world shall see that we are ready to follow their example, and, if necessary, to do still more than we have done against those who attack our honor, or suffer themselves to be misled by the gold of the eternal enemy of the Continent."
(Signed)
"NAPOLEON.
"By order of the Emperor, Major General Marshal BERTHIER, Schonbrunn, 6th Nivose, Dec 27."
The Emperor at the same time likewise published the following proclamation:
"Inhabitants of Vienna—I have signed a peace with the Emperor of Austria. As I am about to return to my capital, I must express to you the esteem I entertain for you, and the satisfaction I have felt at your conduct, during the time you were under my law. I have given you an example which hitherto has had no parallel in the history of nations. Ten thousand men of your national guards have remained armed, and have guarded your gates; your whole arsenals has continued in your power, while I have followed the uncertain fortune of war. I have trusted to your honor, your sincerity, your integrity, and you have justified my confidence."
"Inhabitants of Vienna, I know that you consider that war as blameable, which a Minister devoted to a foreign power has kindled on the Continent. Your Sovereign
is informed of the conduct of that minister, and has in consequence acted entirely according to the great qualities which distinguish him; and I now hope that hereafter happier days will arise for you and for the Continent."
"Inhabitants of Vienna, I have shewed myself little among you, not for contempt or vain pride; no, but that I might not diminish the feelings of esteem for that monarch with whom I was desirous to conclude a speedy peace. As I am now about to leave you, receive from me as a present your arsenal untouched, which by the laws of war had become my property; make use of it for the maintenance of good order. All the evils you have suffered, you must ascribe to the calamities inseparable from war; and every kind of indulgence with which my armies have treated these countries, to the esteem which you have deserved."
(Signed)
"NAPOLEON.
"By order of the Emperor, Major General Marshal BERTHIER, Schonbrunn, 6th Nivose, December 27, [year 14.]"
VIENNA, Dec. 29
We learn that the emperor Alexander, previous to his departure for Russia sent orders to his generals in the Neaplitian territory, to evacuate Italy, and re-embark for Russia.
MUNICH, Jan. 1.
This morning the Elector, accompanied by Heralds, and a corps of the civic cavalry, was proclaimed King in all the public places of this city. This day the Emperor Napoleon has invited the Diplomatic Corps. We are informed, that the new king of Suabia will come here, to pay his respects to the Emperor.
From the Danube, Jan. 2.
Butter was lately sold at Vienna, at four florins per lb. and a quart of wine for three florins; and the damages sustained upon the estate of Prince Litchstein alone, in requisitions, &c. are estimated at three million of florins.
One of the Austrian Archdukes, it is said, will preside over the Court Martial which is to try General Mack.
HAMELN, December 30.
I open my letter to inform you of the arrival of the Prussian lieutenant colonel Kusemark, of his majesty's guards. He has despatches for our commandant Barbeau, and is furnished with full powers to put a stop to all hostilities in the environs of Hameln; and during the negotiations, to secure to us the necessary provisions. The mediation of the king of Prussia has been accepted upon condition that the combined armies shall not undertake any thing offensive in the north.
The king of Prussia on his part, agreed to these proposals, upon condition, that the French columns of the army on the north and the divisions of the grand army, advancing from the Mayn should commit no hostilities against Hanover.
His imperial highness prince Louis had signified to our commandant, that his army was ready to act, and only waited for a signal to advance. Every thing however, is suspended, and the armies have been ordered to halt.
HAMBURGH, January 10.
The transports sent from England to carry back the troops, are arrived in the Elbe and Weser, towards the banks of which river they are already on their march. We are much pleased here with the prospect of the peace of the north being preserved. By the latest news from the Dutch frontiers, it appears that the French troops are already retiring from Nimeguen, Arnhem &c. back to France. The weather continues as mild as in October, when any snow falls it immediately thaws.
On the 1st, 25 ships passed the sound, which was entirely clear of ice; 366 ships sailed through in December; in the whole year, 11537 ships from the North Sea passed, 1130 English, 1293 Prussian, 1041 Swedish, 894 Danish, 84 American, 56 Russian, 30 Hamburg, 168 Feppenburg, 14 Portuguese, &c.
BOSTON, March 15.
NEWS. —Yesterday arrived in Nantasket Roads the brig Henry, capt Groves, in 50 days from Lisbon; and last evening the capt. came to town, and proceeded for Salem, to which place the brig belongs. We had only an opportunity of conversing with him a few moments. He informs, that it was said at Lisbon, that 14 sail of the line had escaped from Brest, and that Admiral Cornwallis had sent a squadron in pursuit of them, with orders to proceed as far as
Tenneriffe, and if they did not find them, to attack that place. There was a report, that the French had taken forty sail of British transports in the Mediterranean.
The Henry has brought near 700 letters, which are yet on board.
Capt. G. brought a regular marine list, but left it on board his vessel. Among the vessels left at Lisbon were the Robereaux, Ward; and Vengeance, Chipman. The Friendship, Davis, was lost at Figuera, Dec. 24. The Merchant, of Boston, for Holland, has been sent into England. Flour was selling for 7 dollars at Lisbon.

TUESDAY, MARCH 25.
Congress —On Friday the bill for erecting a BRIDGE over the Potomac passed the House by a majority of 9. Mr. Clark of Virginia moved for the appointment of a committee to examine into the conduct of the Postmaster General. Mr. Clark mentioned suspicions of bribing members of Congress, corrupting the editor of a news paper, &c. &c. A committee of 7 was appointed. At two o'clock the doors of the house were closed; for what purpose we pretend not to say. but if allowed to conjecture, we should suspect that a member from S. C. moved to let the Cat out of the bag relative to the closed door second purchase of Louisiana; and that a majority of about somewhere between 10 and 12 objected to it at present.

Col. Wm. Smith, surveyor of the port of New York, has been removed from office, in consequence of his secret connection with Miranda—we have not heard of the appointment of a successor.

Extract of a letter from Washington.
"Senate Chamber, March 17, 1806.
"This moment was taken in the Senate, after five days' debate, the question upon the nomination of General Armstrong, as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to settle our disputes with Spain. The Senate was equally divided, and the question decided affirmatively by the casting vote of the Vice-President. One gentleman, who would, it is understood, have voted against him, was not in his seat. Never has a measure, to which there was so much obvious reluctance, been so completely forced through the Senate by the Executive. Confidences, that at first revolted, and were extremely troublesome during the debate, were in the end whipped or coaxed in. The testimony advanced against General Armstrong, as to the injustice, the weakness, and highly suspicious nature of his conduct in relation to the business he transacted under the Louisiana treaty, when it came to be examined, was so strong, as to be conclusive with one half the Senate; and urged in such a manner, as to render the draught extremely unpleasant to the taste of some who at last swallowed it. This is Executive business; but you are at liberty to publish it, with the enclosed yeas and nays, as we gave notice to the Senate: that unless a special injunction of secrecy was imposed upon us, we should consider ourselves, not only

liberty, but bound in justice to our character, to publish our votes upon so extraordinary a de-  Yea —Messrs. Baldwin, Bradley, Howland, Coady, Kitchel, Miley, Mitchell, Moore, Smith, (o.

The following is copied from the London Herald of the 29th January.  Yesterday we received French papers to the 15th instant.  On the 14th inst. the Arch Chancellor of the empire (Cambacérès) went to the senate and made the following speech:  Gentlemen —If the grand elector had been present, you would have received from him the communication which the emperor and king orders me to make to you. The letter which his majesty addressed to the senate, has for its object, to inform you of two important particulars—The one is the marriage of prince Eugene with the princess Augusta, daughter of his majesty the king of Bavaria. The other is the treaty of peace concluded at Presburg on the 26th of December, and ratified the next day at the palace of Schönbrunn, near Vienna.  After paying some compliments to prince Eugene, the speech proceeds: 'The marriage shows how much the emperor appreciates the fidelity of the ancient house of Bavaria, whose attachment to France has at all times been firm, and how much his majesty is touched with the courage and fidelity of which the Bavarian nation and its illustrious chief have given such proofs, to the danger of their greatest interests,' &c.
Letter from his majesty the emperor to the senate.  SENATORS —Peace has been concluded at Presburg, and ratified at Vienna, between me and the emperor of Austria. It was my wish at a solemn sitting to inform yourself of the conditions, but having some time since agreed with the king of Bavaria to the marriage of my son prince Eugene with the princess Augusta, his daughter, and being at Munich at the moment the celebration of the marriage is to take place, I cannot resist the pleasure of remaining with the young couple, who are models of their sex. I am besides desirous of giving to the royal house of Bavaria, and to the brave Bavarian nation, who have rendered me so many services, and have shown me so much friendship, and whose ancestors were constantly united in policy and disposition with France, this proof of my consideration and particular esteem. The marriage is to take place on the 15th of January. My arrival in the midst of my people will thus be retarded for some days—These days will appear long to my heart; but after having been unceasingly occupied in the duties of a soldier, I experience a tender relaxation in occupying myself with the business, and the duties of a father of a family. Not wishing however to delay longer the publication of the treaty of peace, I have ordered in pursuance of our constitutional statutes, that it should be communicated to you without delay, in order that it may be published as a law of the empire.

WHEREAS the subjects of his majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the subjects of other foreign belligerent nations, have recently committed unprecedented depredations on the commerce of the citizens of the United States, and have impressed and imprisoned many of the said citizens: and whereas the British courts of admiralty have adopted rules of decision hostile to the just and natural rights of the United States, and in gross violation of the ancient and acknowledged laws of nations:  It is therefore resolved, as the sense of this house, That in fear that the measures of negotiation, which it is presumed the government of the United States have undertaken, or will undertake, to procure the speedy restitution of our captured property and release of our impressed seamen, may prove unsuccessful, it is expedient that the exposed and defenceless ports and harbors of the United States be fortified, and the naval force thereof augmented; to the
end, that the honor of the United States, and the interest of their citizens, may be more effectually secured.  Resolved , That the senators and representatives in congress from this state, be furnished with a copy of these resolutions and be requested to use all proper means to procure the adoption, by the legislature of the United States, of the measures herein recommended.
Voted and passed unanimously, By order,  T. A. FOSTER, clerk.  A true copy.  Witness,  SAM'L EDDY, sec'y.

Thursday, March 20.  A communication was received from the Post Master General, comprising a statement of contracts made for carrying the mail.  The following message was received from the President of the United States. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
It was reasonably expected that while the limits of the territories of the United States and of Spain were unsettled, neither party would have innovated on the existing state of their respective positions. Some time since, however, we learnt that the Spanish authorities were advancing into the disputed country, to occupy new posts and make new settlements. Unwilling to take any measure which might preclude a peaceable accommodation of differences, the officers of the United States were ordered to confine themselves within the country on this side of the Sabine river, which, by delivery, of its principal post, Natchitoches, was understood to have been itself delivered up by Spain; and at the same time, to permit no adverse post to be taken, nor armed men to remain within it. In consequence of these orders the commanding officer at Natchitoches, learning that a party of Spanish troops had crossed the Sabine river, and were posting themselves on this side the Adams, sent a detachment of his force to require them to withdraw to the other side of the Sabine, which they accordingly did.
I have thought it proper to communicate to congress the letters detailing this incident, that they may fully understand the state of things in that quarter, and be enabled to make such provision for its security, as in their wisdom they shall deem sufficient.  TH: JEFFERSON.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry 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 sensible 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. Cauvin, at Port Tobacco.
