FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE. 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. That black Musician conjures up this fiend? Yes, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Yes, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Aunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we only remark, that the Grand Dramatic which for several seasons past drew full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's translations in the Romance style, is so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary to the publishers.
Five editions of this Romance were in a very short time, after publication in London—It is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, Lewis.

PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, 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 courthouse. 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 understood, 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 carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; 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 inclining 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 Philadelphia.

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.
[CONTINUED.]
If the soft or hard qualities which distinguish wool grown on argillaceous, siliceous, or calcareous soils, be not caused by the herbage on which the sheep feed, to what are we to attribute this difference? I answer, to the chemical or mechanical action of the particles of the soil on the surface of the fleece. This seems to have escaped due attention; it can however be proved to exist, by a variety of facts which might be adduced; and not only can it alter the quality, but impart indelibly the color of the soil to the wool. In parts of Gloucestershire, the fleece acquires a deep orange color from the soil; in Hertfordshire and Warwickshire, and in every district having a red colored soil, the wool is inclined to a brownish red. The fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire communicate a dark bluish tint to the wool. Wools on chalk soils are distinguished by their whiteness; and in every district the action of the soil is evinced by communicating its own color to the fleece, either by insinuating its particles into the fibre, or chemically uniting with its surface.
The color thus acquired is as indelibly fixed in the wool, as the coloring matter of an artificial dye, nor can its whiteness be perfectly restored by any process of art hitherto known. I advert to the tint which remains after wool has been scoured clean with soap. Stoving appears to remove it, but it returns again after re-washing, tho' it is less perceptible than before.
That the same cause can change the color and also the hardness or softness of the wool, is obvious, from the different effects which the argillaceous, siliceous and calcareous soils, are invariably found to have on these qualities. This perhaps is no where more clearly shewn than in the northern parts of Derbyshire, where the mineral strata are so abruptly broken, that two adjoining farms, separated by a small brook, will not unfrequently be found, one entirely on the limestone, the other on a siliceous grit or sand stone. The difference of the wool on these 2 farms, from the same breed of sheep, is so distinctly marked, and was even twenty years since so well known, that the farmer would demand and obtain one shilling or one shilling and six pence per tod more for his wool, when grown upon the latter soil. "My wool is gritstone, sir, and I expect a better price than my neighbor's, which is limestone," was the language in common use; and its meaning was well understood by the buyer.
The wools of this part of Derbyshire are of an inferior quality, suited to the lower kinds hosiery and coarse cloths. The difference in the value between the limestone and gritstone wools, was then about seven per-cent.; had the wool been of a fine quality, it would have been considerably more.
It will invariably be found, whenever lime or calcareous earths come in contact with wool, they deprive it of its soft quality by their action on the surface of the fibre. A demonstrative proof of this effect is offered, in the process of separating the wool from the skins by the fell-monger. The pelts are steeped some days in lime and water; the softest wools, when thus exposed to the action of lime, lose their distinguishing excellence, and acquire all the harshness of wools grown on limestone soils. The hard wools have this quality increased by the same operation; hence the value of skin wool is considerably less than that of fleece wool equally fine. This fact alone is decisive, and proves, that the hardness of wools in limestone districts is occasioned
by the external action of the soil, and not by the food of the sheep. Nor will it be difficult to ascertain, in what manner the lime acts upon the wool: it absorbs the natural grease or yolk of the fleece, and forms with it an imperfect soap, which is miscible with water, and easily washed away by the rain. The wool thus deprived of the unctuous cover intended to keep it soft and pliable, is exposed to the air and rain, and the staple is laid bare to the caustic operation of calcareous earth.
Argillaceous or clay soils are more favorable to the production of soft wool. Clays have an unctuous, saponaceous feel, and they possess not the caustic absorbent qualities of lime. Sandy soils may fill the fleece with siliceous particles, but these particles will not combine like lime with the yolk, and absorb the unctuous covering of the wool. In the process of the fell-monger above stated, the same effect is produced in a few days by the application of lime in a more caustic state, as that which takes place from the slow but constant operation of the limestone soil on the growing fleece. A similar change also takes place on shorn wool kept long in a very warm and dry temperature; the fibres become indurated and elastic, and acquire the properties of hard wools. The greater the degree of warmth, the more speedily will the effect be produced. If wool be exposed for a few minutes to a degree of heat just below what would scorch and discolor it, it will never regain its former state of softness and pliability. The useful arts may here receive an illustration from the curling irons of the friseur, or the more durable effects of baking the hair, practised by the peruke-maker. It is twisted round small tubes or pieces of tobacco pipe, and kept in an oven moderately heated, by which it becomes sufficiently hard and elastic to retain a permanent curl. It is well known to cloth manufacturers, that wool which has been shorn three or four years, will not spin or felt so well as when kept only one year. A dry situation is necessary for the preservation of wool, but after a certain time it loses the natural moisture of the fleece, and becomes hard, like the wool from limes one districts.
Dr. Parry says he is informed by the cloth manufacturers in the west of England, that in very hot dry weather, they cannot make a piece of cloth from Spanish wool so good in appearance by nearly two shillings a yard, as it would be if made in a cooler, moister season. He adds, "so far as I can learn, the heat and drought render the wool more intractable and elastic." In Yorkshire it is well known that cloth dried in hot weather, or in an overheated stove, will not finish so well, or feel so soft, as that which is dried by a more moderate degree of warmth, and in a moister state of the atmosphere.

SPAIN. —We have always been of opinion that the Spaniards would finally succeed in their resistance to the tyrant of France. From the opposition which emperors or kings can make to the modern Alexander, we have very little hopes. The power of monarchs has long since become impotent. But the power of freedom is irresistible. The will of man is unconquerable; and let a nation individually and collectively will its freedom, and it will be free. Bonaparte may destroy the Spanish monarchy—he may overthrow the Austrian empire, the kingdom of Prussia—the republics of Holland, Switzerland and Italy, and he may annihilate the temporal power of the Pope, but he cannot subdue a people determined never to submit.
It is has long been known that military tactics against a spirited enemy, where every man is a soldier, and every soldier a hero, are of no avail. This has been proved to a demonstration in this country; both in the old French wars, and in the revolution which gave birth to our nation. The French general, Baron Diskaw, came from Quebec in the beginning of the last French war before the revolution; he commanded a well appointed army, and was confident that he should be able to make a conquest of the defenceless English colonies. He was defeated, and his army utterly destroyed, by Sir William Johnson, with his Mohawks and a few resolute hunters. Gen. Braddock with a well disciplined army was defeated, by a few straggling Canadians, and Indians on his way to Pittsburg, then called Fort du Quesne. And General Burgoyne with the flower of the English army, was captured by the New England militia under General Gates. Many instances might be produced from battles fought in the time of the French revolution, and more from those fought recently by the Spaniards, to prove the truth
of the proposition, that freemen will always triumph over slaves, and that men will always conquer machines. Bonaparte's armies are now mere machines; on the numbers and strict discipline of his forces he depends for success. The fire of freedom has long since ceased to burn in the bosoms of his men: they are driven to battle as cattle are driven to slaughter, and victory or defeat is to them the same. Such armies—such machines, put in motion and guided by such a desperado as Bonaparte, are indeed terrible to the human race. The world must suffer while such a scourge is wielded over mankind; and empires, kingdoms and states must be crushed beneath its weight. But when once it is attacked by freemen—men who fight for themselves, their wives and their children; as powerful as it is, it must be broken, and finally be crumbled to dust.
The Spaniards seem destined to be the destruction of the mighty emperor. The ways of Providence are wonderful and above the comprehension of short sighted mortals! A nation which the destroyer considered the weakest in the world, has proved to be too strong for him. A people which he flattered himself he could conquer by a decree, has resisted successfully his strongest and largest armies, and has given a check to his impetuosity which he will never recover.

TWENTY-SECOND BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 24th June, 1809.
The place of Raab has capitulated. That town is an excellent position in the center of Hungary. Its enclosure is bastioned, its ditches are full of water, and an inundation overflows part of them. It is situated at the confluence of three rivers. It is from thence that the enemy was in hopes of assembling and training up the whole Hungarian insurrection and where he had made immense works. His garrison, 1800 men strong, was insufficient. The enemy intended to leave 5000 men in it; but by the battle of Raab his army has been separated from the place. This town has suffered by eight days bombardment, which has destroyed the finest edifices. All that could be said on the uselessness of its defence has availed nothing; they amused themselves with the vain hopes of being relieved.
Count Metternich, after remaining three days at the advanced posts, has returned to Vienna.
Two battalions of landwehr, two squadrons of Huzars and a battalion of troops of the line, forming together 2500 men, have entered Bayreuth. They have, as usual, issued forth proclamations, and endeavored to excite insurrection. At the same time General Amende entered Dresden with 3 battalions of the line, 3 battalions of landwehr, a confused collection of men raised by the duke of Brunswick, and some squadrons of cavalry drawn from different corps, the whole amounting to 7 or 8000 men.
The king of Westphalia assembled the 10th corps, and has taken the field. The duke of Valmy (Kellerman) has put in motion, from Hanau, the advanced guard of the army of reserve which he commands.
Capitulation of the City of Raab. Between us, G. Merguez, adjutant commandant, charged with powers from the general of division Lauriston, commanding the siege; and major Dorre, invested with full powers from col. Pechy, commander of the place; the following articles of capitulation have been agreed upon:
 1. The garrison shall depart on the 24th June, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in case of receiving no succor. It shall enjoy all the honors of war, and shall deposit its arms on the glacis; it shall march off for Comorn after having taken the oath not to carry arms during the whole war against France and her allies, until a complete exchange. The gate of Weissenburg shall be occupied on the 23d at four o'clock in the evening, by a company of 100 men of French troops, in community with the Austrian troops. The officers shall keep their swords, horses and baggage, the soldiers their knapsacks.  2. From this moment till the defile of the garrison, the troops of both nations shall remain in their respective positions.  3. All hostilities shall cease on both sides and no new work offensive or defensive in the said place shall be made on either side.  4. The artillery of the place, the ammunition, magazines and stores of whatsoever kind shall be given up and received by the French and Austrian commissaries appointed for that purpose.  5. All the sick and wounded of the garrison, as well as the health officers who will 
remain to take care of them, shall be trusted to the care and humanity of the French commander. After their cure they shall take the oath prescribed by Art. 1, and shall follow the destiny of the garrison.
6. All the administrations and persons attached thereto, all pensioned officers, wives and children of officers, may preserve their effects, and depart either at the same time or after the departure of the garrison, under the French safeguard.
7. The women and children whose husbands and fathers are with the army, may remain in the place or depart therefrom as they may think proper; at all events the preservation of their properties is warranted by the French army, and new passports shall be delivered to them.
8. The inhabitants of Raab shall enjoy all their rights. Their properties shall be respected, and safety and protection shall be granted them.
9. All foreigners or inhabitants of the city shall have liberty granted them to go wherever they please, without being molested in their persons or property.
10. Horses shall be furnished as may be wanted to whoever shall wish to depart, they making their own bargain for the payment of them.
11. Hostages shall be given on each party for the warranty of the fulfilment of the present capitulation, which shall be exchanged, after having been approved, on one part, by the general of division Lauriston, and on the other, by colonel Pechy commander of the place.

Arrived, schr. Spy, Groom from Smyrna. The brig Globe, Williams, of Philadelphia, sailed same day. Between the Isle of Cadia and Cerigoto was attacked by a pirate who first hoisted the bloody flag, but finding he would be resisted, run up French colors, and a smart engagement ensued, which lasted half an hour; as he laid exactly in the passage, captain G. tacked and stood to the eastward, the pirate following him at night; getting a good breeze in the night, tacked and stood to the westward, in hopes of getting through the passage before day. In the morning the pirate was to the eastward of him, in pursuit of a lug, which capt. C. took to be the Globe, which sailed with him for Smyrna. About sun rise she got up with the brig, took her stand away with her for the Island. About 4 leagues to the westward of Galcassa, was again attacked by another, which hoisted French colors, pursued the spy about four hours, and exchanged 5 or 6 shots; at sunset gave up the chase. The same day a lug came out from under the land and fired shots at him; captain G. returned one shot in a few moments lost sight of her. Spoke nothing on the passage but a Portuguese ship of war, in the Gut of Gibraltar.
Also, ship Rising Sun, Bun, 24 days from La Guyra. Spoke two British ships of war in the Mona passage—boarded by one, papers examined and dismissed.

repeatedly repeating the cruelty of the British attack on that city the democrats seem to forget many incidents connected with it. It is also a little remarkable, that he who never ceases their doleful ditties the Danes, have no sympathy for their countrymen, whom those Danes have treacherously and unexpectedly sold as they could be by Great Britain.
Was the attack upon Copenhagen in any respect as deceitful or cruel as that by the French upon Lisbon or Madrid? How many Spaniards were slaughtered in the massacre of Madrid, instigated last year by the blood hound Murat? How many men, women and children were butchered and ransacked by the "Lamblike" Junot in Portugal?
If we may credit the British, the cause of seizing the Danish fleet was a well grounded apprehension, that it would fall into the hands of the French. Since therefore nature herself consecrates the right of self-defence, the appropriation of an instrument of destructive use, to prevent your enemy from anticipating you, is, upon abstract principles, justifiable.

Extract of a letter from general Bonet, to marshal duke of Treviso (Mortier) dated St. Andero, June 12.
General Killermann will have given you an account of my march for the purpose of reaching the corps of Ballesteros. Having set out on the 8th of June from Cargas-d'Ovis, I arrived on the 11th opposite to Torre-lavegno, where Ballesteros and Marquesto had formed a junction.
All the advanced posts were overthrown with the bayonet; at midnight two battalions of the 12th light infantry entered the city, where the enemy had the Princess and Liberia's regiments, and other troops.
Gen. Ballesteros having made his escape with several chiefs, I sent out patrols to make a sweep in the country. Marquesto, who had concealed himself until 4 o'clock, endeavored to effect his escape; but having been pursued, his corps was dispersed, killed, and a great part of it drowned.
This day costs 5000 men to the enemy. The regiments of Hibernia and the Princess are destroyed. We have 3000 prisoners,
among whom are 150 officers; besides 600 Frenchmen have been liberated at St. Andero, independently of the garrison, and 500 sick, who happened to be in the place. I have given orders to follow the enemy in the direction of Santonia.
(Signed) The General of Division, BONET.

Abdallah, the captain, with a loud voice exclaims "Open Sesame,"—the rock opens—the Banditti again chant "Now bid the brazen gates unlock;"—the Brazen door opens—some of the Robbers enter and deposit their booty, the rest remain on the watch; one of them discovers a hatchet which belongs to Ali Baba, at the foot of the tree; they threaten to kill him should he fall in their way—he hears their menace from the tree which he had climbed to conceal himself on their approach; the Robbers close their cave and depart in quest of plunder.

FOR SALE,
The following VALUABLE PROPERTY.
A TRACT OF LAND,
CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffalo Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winchester, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all encumbrance, including an excellent merchant-mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, an all abundance of timber. It is generally rolling, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone. It will be laid off to suit purchasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland, containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country. It will however be laid off to suit purchasers. The above lands are held by deeds of purchase duly recorded in the general court.
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, adjoining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq. of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest tenanted at will. This land is situated in what is called the big bend of Potomac, and borders on it. In point of fertility it is esteemed inferior to none in that part of the state and is held by deed from James Marshall, esq.
Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the waters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benjamin Harrison, jun. esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality. It is held under the original patentee by deeds duly recorded in the general court.
Five full & complete Shares
in the Dismal Swamp Company. Upwards of 16,000 acres of Lands, being very old military rights, lying in the states of Ohio, Kentucky and the Indiana territory, chiefly patented in my own name and ready to be shewn.
A more particular description of the foregoing property may be seen by applying to Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, who is authorized to make contracts, or to myself in Alexandria. The titles are all undoubted, and the terms proposed are, one fourth in cash at the time of conveyance, the balance in three instalments, the last two to be on interest from the date. Any species of the public stock and of the different Banks in the United States of Insurance Companies—of the Potomac Bridge and Turnpike Companies will be received in payment according to their fair value. Ground rents in the city of Richmond and town of Alexandria, or Houses and Lots, will likewise be received in payment according to such rates as may be agreed upon.

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.
