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- limore, 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 shown 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.

Mr. CUSTIS has favored us with the promised work of Bakewell on Wool , a work of much science and originality, and calculated to throw a very considerable light upon this important and national subject. So interesting to all true lovers of their country, must our domestic concerns at this time appear, that we feel a peculiar pleasure in being able to present our patrons with these important documents, which at once display the resources of other nations, and imperiously call for an exertion of our own.
Observations on the influence of Soil and Climate upon WOOL; from which is deduced a certain and easy method of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece unchanged in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
SOME of the most valuable discoveries in the useful arts have been made by a careful attention to a few simple facts, which were too common and obvious to excite curiosity, or attract general notice. We are disposed by habit to overlook what passes every day before our eyes, and to seek in remote causes for explanations of various phenomena, when a little patient observation would convince us, that the objects of our inquiry are immediately within the compass of our view. This deviation from simplicity obscures our researches, and frequently vitiates our conduct in the more important concerns of life: not only does it retard the application of known facts to the discovery of useful truths, but it prevents the communication of such discoveries when once made, from the fear that they may be thought too plain and simple to deserve public notice.
It may be necessary to premise these remarks, as an apology for directing the attention of those who are desirous of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, to a manner of effecting it so easy, that it may perhaps be deemed too unimportant to deserve a trial. I trust, however, I can make it appear, that it is possible, with very little expence, and without any change in the stock or pasture, to increase the value of many kinds of fine wool from twenty-five to thirty per cent. and at the same time to enlarge the fleece, and improve the condition of the sheep.
Having been introduced into the wool business at an early period of my life, one of the first things which engaged my attention was, the remarkable difference in the softness of wools equally fine, but the produce of different districts. The soft, silk-like feel peculiar to some wools, was not then so highly valued as at present, from causes I shall afterwards explain; it gave however a decided preference in the market to wools distinguished by this quality. A little attention to the wool from various districts, soon discovered that the soils most favorable to the production of this soft quality were, first, the argillaceous; next, the siliceous; and it was well known that calcareous soils, whether limestone or chalk, produce wools of a contrary quality, remarkable for their harshness to the touch. In proportion as the above earths preponderate in a loose state near the surface of different soils, their effects on this quality of the wool may be detected, whatever be the breed of sheep from which the wool be shorn.
Hence it did not appear unreasonable to believe, that the herbage of each district derived from the difference of soil some peculiar properties, which gave to it as the food of sheep, the power of affecting that process of the animal economy by which wool is produced. That some of the qualities of wool may be changed, not by the nature of the herbage on which the flocks feed, but by its quantity, I admit; in this instance, however, I had sought for a cause too remote, and overlooked what may be literally said to lie immediately on the surface. Considering the effect of soils on the
softness of the wool as depending on the food, a limit appeared fixed to any improvement of this quality, and the subject was dismissed from my attention.
[To be continued.]
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
To my fellow citizens, who are real Americans, and who have no other object in view but the true interests and happiness of the U. States, to you I address myself, and I conjure you in the name and for the sake of all that is dear to us, to attend to me!
The French faction in this country are once more calling all bell to their aid to prevent a friendly arrangement with Great Britain and to engage us in a war with that country. All you who read the newspapers published by printers employed by or under the influence of that faction, must be sensible of this fact.
It is the true interests of the U. States, that all her disputes with England, with France and with every other nation, should be adjusted in a friendly manner. We want not war with any nation in the world, if it can be avoided. To the great body of the yeomanry of this country war would be extremely injurious. To the planter, the farmer, the agriculturalist, the landholder, ruinous.
But the Corsican tyrant, or as the French call him, the great Napoleon, hath declared, that if we adjust our differences with England amicably, and do not join him against that nation, he will declare war against the U. States.
And to secure to himself interested partisans in this country who shall assist in the prosecution of his views, he has seized upon and sequestered an immense property belonging to wealthy merchants and influential men, some of whom have, others of whom had, and others are endeavoring to obtain seats in our national councils.
All this property, thus seized, Bonaparte has avowed he hold as security for our government submitting to his dictates. If we join him in the war, he will restore; but if we do not, he will convert the whole property thus seized, to his own use, at the same time avowing his determination to make war against this country. This is, my fellow citizens, a concise and a correct statement of facts.
Thus you see that every person whose property hath been seized by Napoleon, has a deep interest in preventing to the utmost of their power, an amicable settlement of our disputes with England, as on that event all that property would be absolutely lost to them; and this shews you, my fellow citizens of America, the reason why all these men, whose property hath been thus seized and sequestered, have been and are the warmest advocates for the tyrant, who hath grasped that property in his hand and the most violent opposers of the British government. They know the terms on which only they can obtain their property; and having got their hands into the mouth of the savage lion, they would be glad to get them out, though at the expence of the United States; though by the ruin of one half of its most meritorious citizens!
Gen. Samuel Smith of the city of Baltimore is one of those men whom I have described. He, by his own statement, has property in the hands of Napoleon, to the value of four hundred thousand dollars—and is known to be, notwithstanding being thus piratically plundered, a warm advocate of the French emperor, and the bitter enemy of, and noisy brawler against G. Britain. I ask every honest, candid man, I care not of what party he may be denominated, to lay his hand on his heart, and say whether gen. Smith ought to be entrusted with having a voice upon any question relative to the settlement of our difficulties with Great Britain, when, to prevent such a settlement, he is interested to the amount of four hundred thousand dollars—a tenth part of which many of my friends, who are farmers or planters, would think an handsome indemnity!
But I have another object in view—I wish to call your watchful attention to the conduct of our government. The French faction are accusing the British government with perfidy, perjury, treachery, in order to irritate your passions against that nation; and to make you the instruments to enable gen. Smith and others to obtain their property from Napoleon. But on what grounds do they make these charges? Because G. Britain has declared that Mr. Erskine has exceeded his orders—a fact now indisputably established!
I have, my fellow citizens, an awful foreboding, that if there has been perfidy and treachery, it has been elsewhere, and against your dearest interests.
The French party in congress struggled to the last, in opposition to repealing the embargo, unless war with G. Britain was
its substitute, and in this I have full knowledge their leader, Jefferson, concurred.—This favorite point they were obliged to yield, but with extreme reluctance and regret. Now let us examine a little further. We have finally got clear of the embargo, a measure government dared not continue; but I fear that war with England is still the favorite object of the present executive, as well as of the last.
It is certain that Mr. Erskine was not authorized by his government to make those arrangements, in consequence of which the president forced us from those antecedent regulations so obnoxious. It must have been foreseen by those in the administration, that their conduct would be received by the people in general with universal joy; and it is a natural consequence, which could not but have been foreseen, that if future obstacles should arise, it must deeply affect the American mind, and excite its resentment against Great Britain, if that nation was culpable. This is the use the French faction are making of these events.
That the secretary of state did know the extent of Mr. Erskine's orders cannot be doubted. It would have been weakness and folly to the extreme to have committed our government without having seen them. He had a right to demand them, and Mr. Erskine was directed to shew them! The secretary of state is not a weak or foolish man—he is sensible and intelligent and capable, it is believed, of deep intrigue.
It is possible that Mr. Erskine for many reasons anxiously solicitous to preserve peace between the two countries, may have been duped by the specious pretence of a similar disposition on the part of our administration, and entered into engagements which he sanguinely hoped his government would ratify, but was not expected by our government to be sanctioned, and therefore might lead to a war with Great Britain; which I greatly fear is yet the wish of those in power.
There is another consideration, which tends to encrease my apprehensions. This whole transaction, apparently conducted with a reciprocal desire of amity, was conducted by Robert Smith, the brother of General Smith, whom we know to be the friend of France and the enemy of England—and we now know, that by the adjustment of our differences with England, the general would lose Four Hundred Thousand Dollars: a princely fortune! But many of his connexions and friends are in a similar situation. His letter to Stansbury shews that Napoleon has in possession the property of others of them—it is probable that General Smith and his immediate connexions and friends have at stake not less than a Million of Dollars, which will be finally lost to them should war not take place between this country and Great Britain!—Is it not too probable that his brother, the Secretary of State, knowing all those circumstances, hath artfully contrived rather to facilitate than prevent war?
I sincerely hope my fears may be groundless. The conduct of our government must in a short time, give us light on this subject. Wait then, my fellow-citizens, I conjure you, and suspend your decision, until the DENOUEMENT of this Tragedy of Errors.

OF SPANISH AFFAIRS.
LONDON, June 22.
The re-occupation of St. Andero by the Spaniards is confirmed. The Revenge arrived at Plymouth, brought a brief detail of the particulars and about 100 French prisoners, out of 300 who swam from the shore of St. Andero, and saved themselves from slaughter by throwing themselves into the hands of the English. They report that the Spanish patriot, Don de Polier, a young man of twenty two, who took the field some time ago with a few followers, armed with pikes, fusils, and other weapons, had now with him five thousand men; that he had set out with the avowed purpose of giving no quarter to the invaders of his country, whose atrocities had roused the spirit of insatiable revenge. He had succeeded in every skirmish, and excessively harassed the enemy. He took St. Andero by assault, and of the garrison of 800 men he put 500 to the sword. The remaining body had got on board the Statira, which lay in the Roads—and as we have stated, above 100 of them are arrived in the Revenge sloop of war.
The capture of two of the prizes taken by the Statira and Amelia was occasioned by the above events at St. Andero. On the entry of De Polier they immediately quit-
ted that harbor and put to sea for these prizes arrived at Plymouth on the 22nd with the Statira; one of them a French brig Rejouie, laden with spars and masts. Another of these prizes is a schooner, in ballast, with a number of prisoners on board.
The Statira has also brought in the French corvette, of 18 guns, and 120 men, from St. Antonio, with soldiers' clothes, some linen and a great quantity of value plundered from the Spaniards.
The Amelia has taken a large vessel fitted out by the French, having 15,000 dollars on board. There was another in company with 30,000 dollars on board, but she escaped.
Letters from Madrid dated the 20th inst. in confident terms the hope, that the French will soon leave Madrid, and that correspondence between the capital and London will be restored. "We are," says one of these letters, "to communicate direct with London in the course of a month."
Battle in Poland.
By the last arrivals from Helsingburg, government received accounts of a battle having been fought at Lublin, in Poland, between the archduke Ferdinand's army, the Poles and their general, Dombrowski, killed, which is believed to be perfectly correct; but government do not feel justified in published the account as official until receive further information. The fight lasted at intervals for five days.
The Expedition.
In the absence of foreign intelligence, is nothing talked of upon Change, but the grand expedition now on foot. It consists of 35,000 or 40,000 men. The command of part of it is to be under the command of Home Popham, and if we are rightly informed, the military command will be given to gen. Hope, or the earl of Moira. It is understood to be destined for an operation upon the island of Walchern, which government has learnt within these few days is almost destitute of troops they have been all marched to join the grand army in Germany. This enterprise is also undertaken with a view of giving the Dutch people an opportunity of shaking off the Prussian yoke.
Earthquakes.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the 27th regiment to his friend in Glasgow dated Sicily 12th April, 1809, says—"No earthquake burst out on the 26th or 27th ult. in the most tremendous manner. The first eruption was from the very top. Two new craters opened shortly afterwards about half way down the mountain, and continued to throw out rivers of burning lava ever since. Several estates have been covered with lava 30 or 40 feet deep. In the first three or four nights, I saw it very frequently, and a very large river of red lava running down from the crater."
The court martial on admiral Gambier does not take place this day, owing to the absence of necessary witnesses.
The trial of lord Gambier will be extremely interesting. The charges have been made out from the log book of lord Cochrane's ship, but his lordship is not the prosecutor. It is said that a certain degree of ill humor prevailed in the fleet at the time of the circumstance of his being employed on the expedition, and that the signals were not seen, or not repeated so as to be answered in time to complete the destruction of lord Cochrane so gallantly began.
Charles IV his queen, and the prince and princess are still at Marseilles; they inhabit one of the finest hotels in that city, and at a very expensive rate.
From the Gottenburg Mail.
HELSINGBURG, June 11.
The emperor of Russia is on his journey to Koningsberg. The purport of his journey is to obtain an interview with the king of Prussia, respecting matters that at present can only be conjectured.
LONDON, June 22.
The Plover, which arrived on Tuesday at Plymouth, spoke several neutral vessels from France, the masters of which informed her that all their crews were sent to join the French armies.
The following extract of a letter from Memel, seems to give the negative to the rumour that Prussia had declared war against France.
Memel, May 21.
"War has now actually been declared between our government against Austria, and a Russian army is marching through East Prussia against the corps of the archduke Ferdinand, who is retreating from the Vistula. The king of Prussia, remains neutral, and says..."

be entirely influenced by the Russian government." It is added in this letter "In case no alteration should take place in the Russian harbours, the imports as well as exports would be attended with great difficulty, since the papers and documents of every cargo must be sent to St. Petersburg for examination."
FRANKFORT, June 13. "Since yesterday we have had here the King of Saxony, with his whole family and suite as well as the grand duke of Wurtzburgh, and our prince primate. The enemy our confederation is said to be at Wurtzburgh. God preserve our city and its environs. "
Extract of another Letter. "Yesterday the corps under the duke of Brunswick, entered Wurtzburgh, driving the two French divisions before them, the prince primate having arrived the day before for safety. The French party are packing up all their moveable property, and we are in hourly expectation and dread of the arrival of the Austrians, whose numbers cannot be well ascertained, and all that is known on that head is, that according as they move their forces augment rapidly." "It is now reported that the Austrians under one of the archdukes have gained a great victory."

Extract of a letter dated Fort Osage, near the Fire Prairie, Missouri, July 11. "On the 8th inst. the Saint Louis Missouri Fur Company, arrived at this post, on their passage to the Rocky Mountains, and this day their boats to the number of ten got under way for their destination. This company consists of an incorporated body of merchants, who have associated together for the purpose of carrying on the Indian trade, Trapping and Hunting on the head waters of the Missouri, and have organized a body of militia of 140 and upwards in number, under the command of major Chouteau, for the purpose of conveying the Mandan chief to his nation, and are under the orders of the governor of the territory of Louisiana until this service is performed; after which they proceed on their original destination." "The detachment appears to be well equipped, and leave this in perfect good order and high spirits, and have no doubt but they will be quite competent to pass (or chastise should it be found necessary) any tribe of hostile Indians (if any such they should meet with) on the Missouri."

of Indians. Those nations of Indians are quite peaceable and friendly disposed, except the Kansas, who at times commit depredations on the other tribes.—The U. S. have erected a trading house here for their accommodation."
Mr. Secretary Smith received on the 14th inst. from Mr. Erskine a long and very satisfactory letter in answer to one of the 9th inst. in which Mr. Smith had respectfully requested a candid explanation as to the conversations which Mr. Canning's dispatch of the 23d of January had imputed to Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin and himself. Mr. Erskine has, moreover, in this letter, stated the reasons, which, in the exercise of the discretion given him, had induced him not to lay his instructions before the government of the United States. These papers will, no doubt, be communicated in due time to Congress. National Intelligencer.
More Beer and less Rum. On a fair computation, one third of the earnings of daily laborers is expended for spirituous liquors: consequently if a man labors three hundred days in a year, at 75 cents per day, he spends 75 dollars for spirits, which do him no good, but a deal of harm. If 50 dollars a year of this expenditure was saved, every laborer would in 4 years be able to build a snug house, worth 200 dollars, and buy him a farm of new land, of 100 acres: He could at the same time with the remaining 25 dollars, purchase and drink 100 galls. of strong beer annually, which would do him a great deal of good and no harm.
The free use of rum enervates the body, shortens life, and destroys reputation and credit: and what is worse, nay cruel, prevents thousands of innocent helpless children, the enjoyment of such food as nature requires. As a substitute, malt ale or beer answers a double purpose. Its use cherishes the spirits without intoxication; strengthens the body, and corrects the juices. Drs. Cullen and McBride says that hops will preserve fresh meat from putrefaction. Beer prevents many diseases which arise from inflamed blood, and, in the warm seasons, acts as a powerful antiputrescent; its free use prevents gravelly concretions, and is always an antidote to urinary suppressions, and scurvy at sea. It is food and drink of the most wholesome kind: a little use renders it more palatable than ardent liquors.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY , from the subscriber, living in Prince George's county, Maryland, near the Woodyard, about the first of September last, a Negro Man, named GUY , about thirty years of age, about six feet high, tolerable well made, is very black, his cheek bones are tolerable high, speaks quick and pert, has no mark as I know of by which he can be more particularly described. It is needless to give a description of his cloaths as what few he took with him must be worn out. I have been informed he has frequently been seen in Alexandria in the course of last winter and spring, and passed by the name of BUTLER , as a free man. It has since been reported he is dead, but I doubt it, as I cannot find from whence the report originated. Should he not be dead, any person that will secure him in any jail so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward, and if brought home all reasonable charges.

VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE,
Distant 23 miles from Georgetown and Alexandria, 19 miles from Occoquan Mills, and twenty from Dumfries, and within two miles and a half of the Little River Turnpike Road. It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres , lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky rivers, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excellent, and, to a grazier especially, would be a source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy. This land is decidedly benefited by the plaster of Paris. On it is a very good site for a mill, the stream being one of the most constant in that part of the country. There are about 800 acres in wood, heavily timbered. The improvements are, a dwelling house newly fitted up, consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets, three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cellar, a kitchen, corn house, meat house and stables. Likewise the overseer's house, one in each county, with other necessary houses or negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neighborhood.
Persons disposed to purchase may be supplied on the first named tract with a large stock of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, farming utensils. The subscriber willing to emigrate southward will dispose of the above-mentioned property on the most reasonable terms.
Information respecting the property may be had by application to the honorable Judge Washington of Mount Vernon, H. S. Turner, Esquire, of Jefferson county, or in the absence of the subscriber to Bernard Hooe, jun. Esq. living near the premises:

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE
YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
