Notice.
I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 8 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription.
Together with an insurance office. There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel. The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms. William Caton. September 20.

THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. No. VIII.
"Proofs of the corruption of gen. James Wilkinson and of his connection with Aaron Burr," &c.
Let this letter (No. 42) be examined in this view, and we shall have no doubt of the positive testimony of Mr. Power; (No. 43;) his details will however convince the most incredulous, and the manner in which every part of it is supported by the other evidence, leaves no doubt of its veracity; and to avoid any subterfuge to be made from the alleged frailty of memory, let it be remembered that this account was given at the time of the transaction, and is the original draft of a letter to governor Gayoso, giving the official account of Mr. Power's mission—the passage of it is characteristic: "The general received me coldly enough; in the first conference he broke out with saying to me very bitterly, "we are ruined sir, both you and myself, without receiving any benefit from your voyage." Afterwards he asked me whether I had brought the 640 dollars—(eternally these 640 dollars?)—he added that the executive had given orders to the governor of the North Western Territory to take me and send me to Philadelphia, and that there was no other resource left for me to escape but to suffer myself to be conducted immediately under guard to Fort Massac, & from thence to New Madrid; and having informed him of the proposition of the Baron he proceeded to tell me that it was a chimerical project, and impossible to be executed; that the inhabitants of the western states, having obtained all that they wished by the treaty, would form no other political or commercial connection, and that now they had no other motive to separate themselves from the interests of the other states, although France and Spain had made them the most advantageous propositions, that the fermentation which had existed for 4 years was now subsided, &c. that Spain had now nothing else to do but to give complete effect to the treaty which had overturned all his plans, and rendered useless the work of more than ten years. And inasmuch as he had, he said, destroyed his cyphers and all his correspondence with our government, and that his duty and his honor did not permit him to continue it, that the governor need not fear that he would abuse the confidence he had placed in him; finally, that Spain having ceded to the United States the territory of the Natchez, &c. it might happen that he would be appointed governor of it, and that then opportunities would be more efficacious to effect his political projects. He complained much that the secret of his connections with our government had been divulged through want of prudence on our part." &c. Here then we have the cause of this new prudery in the general's character. The project was now dangerous, and therefore he would not embark in it. He now bethought him of his HONOR and his DUTY, which had slept for ten years. He now for the first time recollected what he owed to his country, and the station in which he was placed. But this illumination of honor was but a momentary flash; it could not support him through a single conference, and in the very breath, in which he abjures the ruinous connection, he shews that fear, not principle, induced him to make the temporary abandonment; he complains that the treaty which secured the best interest of his country had ruined his projects—adverts to the jealousy of his government, and looks forward to the happy period when the government of the Natches would enable him to plot with more success the dismemberment of his country. A commentary on such evidence is unnecessary; it speaks at once to the understanding, and the prejudice must be rooted indeed that can resist its force.
In a letter from the Baron de Carondelet to Mr. Power, dated 23d April, 1797, (No. 44) is the following passage: "I have just written to W. and have given my letter to Mr. Nolan, a charming young man, whom I regard very highly (garçon charmant et dont je fais le plus grand cas.) He has told me that he had a sure opportunity to convey it to him, and it is a long time since I have written to him for want of
an opportunity, and for fear of committing him (crainte de le compromettre)." In all the intercourse between Wilkinson and the Spaniards, we find Mr. Nolan; this "child of his own" seems to have had as versatile talents as his adopted father, and "is alternately engaged in the dark diplomacy or the contraband commerce of his employer. If the Baron de Carondelet had nothing that was improper to write, why should he delay his communications for a safe opportunity, and whence the anxious fear of committing his correspondent, if their correspondence were honorable or lawful?
Here I close the exhibition of the proofs on the subject of the bribes which were given by the Spanish government, and the corruption which they produced. I close it as will be remarked, without any reference to my personal knowledge of the gen. outline of Wilkinson's plan and to his unequivocal confession as detailed in my affidavit laid before congress. It is not for me to weigh the credit which that declaration deserves. I annex however, (No. 45,) that it may be compared with the other proofs, and I then leave it to my country to decide this important question between us. I ought to remark that in stating the sum taken round by Collins, I mention eleven thousand dollars or upwards. My information of the sum came from Collins, who I suppose must have received the whole sum and afterwards divided it with Owens, as the two together form a sum upwards of 11,000 dollars, as stated in my deposition. If I were now to make a new declaration, or if I am ever called on before a proper tribunal to testify again on this subject, I could add many circumstances which further recollection and a perusal of documents have brought to my remembrance, but my object as I stated is to show that the proof independent of my own assertion, is sufficient to have blown down my adversary, and to support my reputation for veracity. One circumstance however in my own justification I ought to notice. In my deposition I state that the general's explicit confession took place in October 1798, at Loftus's Heights, where I had passed three days and nights in his tent. Feeling how deeply this evidence would affect him, it was necessary to throw doubts on some circumstance which I had detailed thereby to weaken the whole. He has therefore denied that I was with him for three days—he has denied that I was at his tent, because he says he was then not encamped, but slept in his boat. (No. 46.) If I had been mistaken in these points; if it should appear that instead of three days I had been there but one, and if the confession had been made in a boat, I believe it would have been as important as if whispered in a tent. But I was not mistaken, and if I prove clearly that I was not, his denial of these circumstances will be a persuasive proof that he feels the truth of my communication, since he strives to disprove it by denying circumstances which are proved to be true and which he must have known to be true. The fact then of my stay with Wilkinson in 1798, and of his being then encamped, though otherwise trivial circumstances, become important in this inquiry.
On this subject then I refer, First, to a letter, dated 2d November 1798, from my kinsman Daniel Clark, who then lived at his plantation about three miles from the camp and who died two years after it was written, in which he says, "I presume you will not get away from the general for a day or two to come; indeed the weather seems unfavorable for the prosecution of your journey to Natchez. His excellency proposes a jaunt to the Desert to see his convalescents, as soon as you depart."
Second, the affidavit of William Miller, (No. 47)
Third, that of capt. Guion, (No. 48)
Fourth, that of David Mackey, (No. 49)
Fifth, a letter from colonel John Clay, (No. 50)
Sixth, the affidavit of Marselis, (No. 51)
All of these gentlemen have a perfect recollection of my having been there, and relate particular circumstances which induce them to remember my being with the general in his tent. How miserably are men blinded by the confusion of guilt? They think they must deny something, they grope about in the dark; and as they are directed by chance, not judgment, in the selection of their means, they are frequently weapons of greater annoyance to themselves than their enemies. Thus if Wilkinson had contented himself with denying the substance of the conversation between us, I could have procured no other evidence or that particular fact, as our conferences on the subject were not held in the presence of witnesses; but finding a person whose inaccurate recollection of places and dates would, he thought, throw a doubt on my testimony, he seizes it with eagerness, he denies my visit to him, he denies the place of his residence, and he puts in my power unques-
tionably to prove by other witnesses, what would otherwise have rested on my own assertion.
In my deposition too I state that Wilkinson desired me to propose the purchase of governor Gayoso's land, for the arrears of the pension still due to him. I have since discovered one of the general's letters which corroborates this proof; it is dated Loftus's Heights, 13th March, 1799, and contains in reference to that subject the following paragraph: "The Mingo* asks more than I can give for his dirty acres, therefore say not one word on that subject." This caution was wholly unnecessary, for, as I had stated in my deposition, I had refused to have any agency in his negotiation for the land.
After these remarks I proceed to examine the general's means of defence against the great body of proof which has been offered: His first object was to fortify himself by certificates of innocence—his second to procure an enquiry by a court which he knew could not compel the attendance of witnesses—his last, and the most congenial to his disposition, to blacken the character of the witnesses against him. Let us examine separately each of these means, and see how they have succeeded. Never were attempts made with so much art as those by which the general endeavored to support his sinking fame by testimony of those who had in the service of their country seduced him from the allegiance he owed to his own. His first address was to Mr. Power, who, then a subject and an officer of Spain, tho' he would be abandoning the work at which he had so long labored, if he suffered his proselyte to be disgraced and deprived of that influence and command which he foresaw might be yet useful to his country. The general threw himself also on his compassion: Can you (was the substance of his address) can you, Power, suffer me to be ruined on account of those very measures into which, by your ministry, I have been led? A word from you will save me from destruction—sign a declaration of my innocence which I may show to the president, and I shall retain his confidence, and we may yet see the success of our schemes. Moved by false pity, convinced by false reasoning, Power signed the evasive certificate that has been published with so much triumph. Short-sighted, guilty man! you did not foresee that this success would be the cause of your ruin—that the haste with which you published a document given to you for another purpose would induce a disclosure of all the circumstances which it was so much your interest to conceal—a disclosure accompanied by so many irresistible proofs, that not an individual can doubt of its accuracy, and a detail of circumstances which would otherwise have forever been unknown—an exposition of documents which but for this could never have been produced.
The use that was made of his certificate—the attempts to blacken his character, induced Mr. Power to come forward in support of his reputation, and his change of allegiance and the resignation of his employment enabled him to do it with propriety.
The next attempt was upon the compassion of governor Folch; the same arguments were probably addressed to him that were so successfully employed with Power; and no one will require a stronger evidence of guilt than the correspondence which is at last concluded and dressed up between them. Folch was not disposed to go further than he could with truth, though at the same time his certificate was to bear as near a resemblance to untruth (that is to say, to an assertion of the general's innocence) as could possibly be managed without sliding into actual falsehood; for this purpose the general asks boldly whether gov. Folch knows or believes that he (W.) is (at the time he writes) commissioned or pensioned by Spain. Now mark the answer: First some common-place about the fraternity among those who embrace the profession of arms—then a most solemn asseveration of what nobody would be left to doubt, the period at which he arrived in the country, the intimacy in which he was with his uncle gov. Miro, and his being the most proper person to give a satisfactory answer to the general's query. Let us now examine this answer—how satisfactory it is! Before we come to it, however, we are assured that it is barely possible that his uncle may have concealed the general's pension & commission from him; but that as neither the one nor the other is ever conferred without a patent it is natural that he should have met not only with the copy, but the original, as the archives have been under his care. After all this comes the important, the satisfactory answer that is to operate as he says,
* This is an Indian word meaning great chief, and is usually applied by Wilkinson to designate a governor.
his correspondent's satisfaction, and the latter shame and confusion of his calumny. What is it—that he has never seen any warrant for the pension, or any record of the commission? that his uncle never told him that he had granted? that he does not believe in their existence? No: but he asseverates most solemnly on his sacred word, that no such document, nor any other paper tending to substantiate such assertion exists in the records in his possession. And with this general Wilkinson is perfectly satisfied! This he thinks ought to satisfy his country. What, because governor Folch declares that the records of his guilt do remain in his archives—when they may have been taken to the Havana instead of Pensacola—when Folch himself may have removed them while he was writing his letter to make it consistent with literal truth, because this is asseverated upon his sacred word, nor all clamor is to cease. Wilkinson is a persecuted man. There is no record of his guilt at Pensacola—he is therefore innocent. There is no commission in the archives of Baton Rouge—therefore he must be calumniated. Governor Folch asserts it on his honor—and therefore his enemies ought to be covered with confusion. There is, however, an air of irony in this letter that must have deeply mortified the general if he could feel mortification. If this assertion, says he (to wit, that he had not then got the record) will not erase the impressions of weak minds against you, [they must have been very weak if it had] you are to comfort yourself (with what?) with the recollection that you are a soldier, and with the approbation of your unsullied conscience. What bitter, what cutting reproach! what a sarcastic sneer! What! the man who had betrayed his professional trust, and received the hire of infamy! the man who when solemnly appealed to for his explication, answers one inquiry by insulting equivoque, and passes the other over in silence—that man has the cruelty to talk to him of an unsullied conscience, and to remind him of the honor of a profession which he had tarnished by his treachery. These documents are published by the general; let them be carefully examined, and I am persuaded that every reader will discover the evident instances of evasion which I have pointed out.
(To be continued.)

XXVIIth FRENCH BULLETIN. WOLTERSDORF, July 9.
The enemy's retreat is a defeat. We have collected a part of his baggage. His wounded have fallen into our hands; we have already counted more than 12,000; all the villages are filled with them. In five of six hospitals alone we have found more than 6000.
The duke of Rivoli, pursuing the enemy by Stockraw, is already arrived at Hollabrunn.
The duke de Ragusa had at first followed on the road to Brunn, which he quitted at Wolkersdorf in order to take that of Znaim. At nine o'clock this morning, he met at Laa, a rear-guard, which he routed—he took 100 of them prisoners. He will be to-morrow at Znaim.
The duke of Auerstadt is arrived to day at Nicolsburgh.
The emperor of Austria, prince Anthony, with a suit of about 200 chariots, coaches, and other carriages, slept on the 6th at Erensbrunn, the 7th at Hollabrunn, the 8th at Znaim, whence they set out at nine of the morning. According to the relation of the country people who conducted them, their dejection was extreme.
One of the princes de Rohan was found wounded on the field of battle. Lieutenant field-marshal Wussakowicz is amongst the prisoners.
The artillery of the guard covered itself with glory. Major Ahoville, who commanded, was wounded. The emperor has made him general of brigade. The chief of a squadron of artillery, Greener, has lost an arm. These intrepid artillerymen displayed all the power of this terrible weapon.
The horse chasseurs of the guard charged, and drove back, on the day of the battle of Wagram, three squadrons of infantry. They took four pieces of cannon. The light-horse Poles of the guard charged a regiment of pike men. They took the prince of Abersberg prisoner, and captured two pieces of cannon.
The Saxon hussars d'Albert charged the cuirassiers d'Albert, and took their colors. It was a very singular thing to see two regiments belonging to the same colonel, fighting one against the other.
It appears that the enemy is abandoning Moravia and Hungary, and is retiring into Bohemia.

The roads are covered with the men belonging to the Landwehr and the levy-en-masse, who are returning to their houses. The losses which desertion is adding to those the enemy has sustained in killed, wounded, and prisoners, are concurring to annihilate his army.
The numerous letters which have been intercepted are a striking character of the discontent of the hostile army, and the disorder which reigns in it.
Now that the Austrian monarchy is without hope it would evince being unacquainted with the character of those who govern not to expect that they will humiliate themselves as they did after the battle of Austerlitz. At that epoch, they were as now without hope; and they exhausted all their protestations and oaths.
During the day of the sixth, the enemy sent a few hundred men to the right bank of the Danube to make observations. They re-embarked, after having lost a few men killed or taken prisoners.
The heat was excessive on these days. The heat was almost constantly at 26 degrees.
There are great quantities of wine. In one village 3,000,000 pints were found. It has happily no bad quality.
Twelve of the most considerable villages in the beautiful plain of Vienna, such as are seen in the neighborhood of a great capital, have been burnt during the battle. The just hatred of the nation is loud against the guilty men who have drawn upon it all these calamities.
The general of brigade, Laroche, entered Nuremberg on the 18th of June, with a corps of cavalry, and proceeded towards Bayreuth. He met the enemy at Besenheim charged him with the best provisional regiment of dragoons and cut in pieces all who opposed him, and took two pieces of cannon.
TWENTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN.
The Danube has risen six feet. The bridges of boats which had been constructed before Vienna since the battle of Wagram, have been broken by effect of this rise; but the bridges at Ebersdorff are solid and permanent, none of them have suffered. Those bridges, and the works of the island of Lobau, are the admiration of the military persons of Austria. They avow that such works are without example since the time of the Romans.
The archduke Charles having sent maj. gen. Weissevoof to compliment the emperor, and since that the baron de Wimsen and prince John of Lichtenstein having come upon the same courteous errand, in his name, his majesty has thought proper to send to the archduke the duke of Friuli, grand marshal of the palace who found him at Budweis, and passed part of yesterday at his head quarters.
The emperor left his camp at Znaim yesterday at 9 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the palace at Schoenbrunn at three in the afternoon.
His majesty has visited the environs of the village of Spitz, which forms the tetra-point of Vienna. Gen. Bertrand has been charged with the execution of different works, which must be marked out and begun this day.
The bridge of piles at Vienna will be re-established with the least delay possible.
His majesty has named as marshals of the empire general Oudinot, the duke of Ragusa and gen. Macdonald. The number of marshals was 11, this nomination will make 14. There still remains two vacancies. The places of Col. Gen. of the Swiss, & Col. Gen. of the chasseurs are also vacant.
The Col. Officer of the chasseurs is according to our constitution, a grand officer of the Empire.
His majesty has testified his satisfaction with the manner in which the surgery has been served and particularly with the services of the principal surgeon Heurteloup.
His majesty passing through the field of battle on the 5th caused a great number of the wounded to be taken off; and left there the duke of Friuli, grand marshal of the palace, who remained all day.
The number of wounded Austrians in our hands amounts to 12 or 13000.
The Austrians have 19 generals killed or wounded. It has been remarked as a singular fact, that most of the French officers, whether of old France, or the new provinces, who were in the Austrian service, have perished.
Several couriers have been intercepted; and among their letters has been found a regular correspondence of Genty with count Stadion. The influence of this wretch in the leading determinations of the Austrian cabinet, is hereby materially proved. Such are the instruments which England employs like a new Pandora's box, to raise storms and spread poisons on the continent.
The duke of Rivoli's corps encamp in the circle of Znaim, that of the duke of Auerstadt in the circle of Brunn: that of the duke of Ragusa in the circle of Kom-Neubourg; that of marshal Oudinot before Vienna, at Spitz, that of the Viceroy on Presbourg and Gratz. The Imperial Guard returns to the environs of Schoenbrunn.
The harvest is very fine, and abundant everywhere. The army is cantoned in a beautiful country, rich in provisions of all kinds, wine particularly.

By the schr. Fairy captain Henry from Malta, we learn that the British Expedition fitted out against Naples, after having landed some troops on an island of that bay and finding they were not likely to be successful, had given up the enterprize and a part of the fleet had returned to Malta.

We are authorised to say that American vessels permitted by the British government to go to Holland under Erskine's arrangement, will not be permitted by that government to bring return cargoes.

BATTLE NEAR MADRID.
The latest arrival from Spain was the Anthony Mangin at Philadelphia, on the 13th inst. in 40 days from Cadiz. Her news was of Gibraltar 26th July. At that time the allies and the French were supposed to be upon the eve of an engagement. The force of the former was about 100,000 men, and the latter had concentrated about 80,000 in the neighborhood of Madrid. Since then the Fairy has arrived at New York, "from Tunis, Malta and Gibraltar," 35 days from the latter, but as she brings no ship news or intelligence of any other sort from Gibraltar as she does from the two other places, it is probable she had no communication with Gibraltar, but merely computes her departure from the time of passing the Rock.
We state these facts to show the probability of the battle between the combined British, Spanish and Portuguese forces and the French, mentioned in our paper of yesterday, and that the victory said to be gained over the latter is not discredited by the arrival of the Fairy. [Ibid.]

Twenty Dollars Reward.
STOLEN, from the subscriber, near Elk-run church, in the county of Fauquier, on the night of the 9th instant, a stout made bright bay HORSE, about 15 hands high, 11 or 12 years old last spring, he has a few saddle galls on his back without hair, and several small white spots produced from the saddle, his left fore and hinder foot white as high as the ankle, shod all round with smooth heel shoes, with but three nails in the outer part of the shoe on the left hind foot.
I am apprehensive he has been taken by a man of the name of HEYDEN, from Maryland, who was liberated from the county of Culpepper a few days since where he has been imprisoned since last spring for similar acts, as he was seen making towards Alexandria on Sunday, upon a horse that answers the description.
HEYDEN is about 5 feet 10 inches high, light hair, his face remarkably red with scars resembling those of the small pox, produced from pimples with which his face is very generally covered.
I will give the above reward for the apprehension of the thief, with the horse, so as he may be brought to justice, or Ten Dollars for information of the horse so that he may be recovered.

The following highly valuable Medicines,
Price 3 dollars per bottle.
Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated throughout Great-Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many testified proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate; and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and ther warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

Domestic Manufactures.
THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool, and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into batts for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing into yarn over that which is carded by hand, is generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. Those persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unremitting attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and assorted in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expense of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.
