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.]
It is possible that time may injure the felting quality of wool, by depriving it of its moisture, and making it more elastic; and also by its causticity, it may destroy the extremely minute ridges on its surface, on which its felting quality depends.
The cause of the felting quality of wool and hair is little understood or attended to, and involved in some obscurity; I may, therefore, be excused for dwelling upon it, as it is of considerable importance in the cloth and hat manufactory. That the felting quality depends on the tendency of the hair or fibre to move in one direction when repeatedly pressed, I have little doubt; but whether this is occasioned by indentations, or by rings, or zones, or any inequality of the surface, will not admit of proof, as they cannot be discovered by the microscope, though we can feel a sensible degree of roughness when hair is drawn from its points to the root between the fingers. The sensation excited, is somewhat similar to the vibration felt in drawing the point of the finger over a smooth edge of a glass. Reflecting on this circumstance, it occurred to me, that the roughness or tremulous motion we feel in drawing a hair through the fingers in the manner I have described, may be caused by minute vibrations, which are more easily excited in one direction than another, owing to some peculiar arrangement of the particles, or of some small filaments which compose the substance of wool or hair. Whether the tendency of the hair or fibre to move in one direction when pressed, arises from a peculiar vibration, or from inequalities of its surface, it is certain, that on this its felting quality depends. This motion has been compared to that of an ear of barley placed under the sleeve of the coat, with the points of its beard downwards; by the action of the arm the ear is moved in a retrograde direction, until it has advanced from the wrist to the shoulder.
A farther illustration of this is given in an account of the progress of hat-making. "When the straight hairs of the beaver, the rabbit, &c are not intended to enter into the body of the mass, but are only to be employed in making a sort of external coating, such as is sometimes given to the outer surface of hats, the felt on which they are to be fixed being finished, the hair is uniformly spread upon the surface to which the coating is to be applied; and being covered with a cloth, it is pressed with the hands, and agitated for a certain time. By these means, the hairs introduce themselves by the root a certain depth into the felt, and are there fixed in such a manner as not to be easily extracted. If the agitation were continued for a longer time, these hairs would pass entirely through the felt, going out at the opposite surface, as each hair follows exactly the direction it acquired at the beginning."
If wool and hair be formed in the manner I have before stated, many peculiarities in their growth admit of an easy explanation. Wools are generally grown finer in the winter than the summer months. During winter, sheep have not the same copious supply of food as in summer: hence the wool-forming fluid will be diminished in quantity: the cold may be also supposed to contract the ducts near the surface of the skin.—Some animals produce very coarse hair in summer, the bottom of which in winter will be a fine down or fur. Many of the secreting vessels in such animals, which unite in the last duct to form hair, may probably in the cold season cease to act altogether, and only such of them as secrete the very finest part of the fluid which forms down, may remain at that time in an active state.
Other animals inhabiting the polar regions, grow a long coarse hair, and distinct from this, a very fine short wool or down, close to the skin. The fine down seems intended to keep the animal warm, and the coarse hair to defend the down from the action of the elements, or from being worn away by the rocks and ice on which such animals repose. The fine down is secreted
by smaller vessels, and probably from a finer part of the same fluid. In these animals, the formation of hair and down may proceed at the same time, as they grow from distinct vessels. The South Sea Seal produces a wool of this kind, which being buried under the coarse hair, was long neglected. It is now manufactured into cloth and shawls by Messrs. Fryers, of Rastrick, near Halifax. These shawls exceed in softness those of Persia and India.

From the NORFOLK LEDGER.
By a gentleman who came passenger in the schooner Fair American , from St. Domingo we were favored with the convention and proclamation, translations of which are inserted in this day's paper.
We understand that nothing could exceed the distress of the French garrison before it surrendered. Dogs, cats, and even leather, was eaten. The French, it appears, had resolved never to have surrendered to the Spaniards, preferring death in any shape.
Thus this valuable colony, ceded to France by the traitor Godoy, prince of peace, is restored to its lawful owners, and lost to France. "Ships, colonies and commerce," said Napoleon we will have, when he was reconciling the nation, who he governs, to another war with England. Of all the valuable colonies of France, Guadalupe in the west, and the Isle of France and Bourbon in the east, only remains.
SANTO DOMINGO.
Translated for the Norfolk Ledger.

PROCLAMATION
Issued by their excellencies Hugh Lyle Carmichael, major-general commander in chief of his Britannic majesty's forces, and Don Juan Sanchez Ramirez, commander in chief of his Catholic majesty's troops in that Island.
To the Inhabitants of the City and Spanish part of the Island of Santo Domingo.
We are now in possession of the city of Santo Domingo, Divine Providence has crowned with success the combined arms of his Britannic majesty George the 3d, and his Catholic majesty our beloved Ferdinand the 7th: this glorious triumph alone remained to the entire conquest of the Spanish part of this Island which in the treaty of Basle made in August 1795, was ceded to the French for certain considerations which gave rise thereto, as well as to other similar sacrifices on the part of that nation. In consequence of which success, we the undersigned commanders of the English and Spanish armies now in possession of the said city, and above mentioned territories, considering it our duty to perfect the work which we have done, by the fundamental establishment of those regulations that tend to public order and safety, do order as follows:
1st. For the purpose of restoring and preserving tranquility in these dominions, too long distracted by intestine and sanguinary conflicts & to re-establish peace & tranquility amongst all classes of the inhabitants by exhorting them to unite under such principles and in conformity to the laws which are to govern them, it is mutually decreed that the existing code of Spanish jurisprudence shall from the date of this proclamation have its full force and authority and the representative of his Catholic majesty Don Juan Sanchez Ramirez shall alone nominate Judicial and magisterial officers he may think proper to carry into effect the civil jurisdiction.
2d. That the English and Spanish troops shall henceforward be governed by their respective rights and military laws under their own commanders, and for the purpose of establishing with solidity this groundwork on which stand the order and administration of justice, it is made known that any persons who may contrary to these premises disturb the peace and harmony that is to reign amongst all classes, shall be without remission chastised with all the rigor of the law.
Head Quarters, Government House, St. Domingo, 27th July, 1809. (Signed)
Hugh Lyle Carmichael, Major general commanding his Britannic majesty's forces in Santo Domingo. (Signed)

FROM PORTUGAL.
The schr. Sally, arrived at Boston on Sunday from Halifax; bringing papers of that place to the 19th inst. They furnish nothing new from Europe. The sloop of war Goree had just arrived at Halifax from Lisbon; and the following memoranda is given us as the substance of her news:
"LISBON, July 12. "The Spanish forces are at Almarez; the English at Placentia, and the French between Talvera and Montes Claros, about twenty five leagues from Madrid; Sebastian and the would be king Joseph, with 14,000 troops were at Toledo. A battle was expected about 15th July, Cuesta, (though he had advanced) had promised sir Arthur Wellesley not to make an attack until the British troops had come up."

"The army of Cuesta, according to accounts from Elves, is advancing: and there have already been some skirmishes between his advanced parties and those of the armies of Victor."
Captain Johnson, of the schooner Majestic, has favored the editors of the N. York Gazette with a file of Kingston papers to the 29th, which furnish much marine information.
It is stated in the Kingston Royal Gazette, of the 29th, that the British troops at St. Domingo are in bad health, upwards of 200 being confined in the hospitals; the greatest part of them with dangerous fevers.
The same papers state, that in consequence of the several privations undergone by the French troops during the late siege and blockade of St. Domingo and their change of diet since their arrival at Jamaica, the dysentery has broke out among them, and is daily carrying off great numbers.

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 incumbrance, 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, and 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.

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.

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 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 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 sh, 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.

It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres , lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, 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 benefitted 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 300 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.

The following MEDICINES are sold by ROBERT GRAY, Bookseller in King-street—and by A. HINGSTON, Fairfax-street, Alexandria.
For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant Fevers,
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee and Son—This is necessary, as there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thousands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life without the least inconvenience or danger.
They are admirably adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore the appetite, produce a regular habit of the body, promote free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thousands, and seldom, if ever, fail to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Habitual costiveness, and its opposite, are removed by their wholesome influence, as also those diseases arising from them, headaches and sickness at the stomach.
It is almost unnecessary to state, that on the regular habit of the system, the health of mankind depends. To conduce to this all-important object, perhaps no medicine was ever more generally successful than these pills: they never do harm, and at least nine times out of ten afford relief to those who use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
With the most perfect confidence we recommend these pills to the public, and will only further add, that their operation is always pleasant, and that they leave nothing of that costiveness behind them too often attending medicines designed for similar purposes.
Ten years have justified us in stating these facts, during which we have had a very extensive and constantly encreasing sale for this truly valuable medicine.
To the Ladies,
Whose faces and complexions are injured with Freckles, Pimples, Black Worms, Tan or Ayburn, Ringworms, Prickly Heat, &c.
To those persons is recommended
Lee's Persian Lotion,
A certain remedy for removing those disagreeable barriers to beauty, the proprietors with the most sacred regard to truth, and the credit of those medicines, assure the afflicted that all the different appearances above enumerated, are in a short time subdued by wetting the parts affected, with this pleasant fluid, according to the directions on each bottle.
Persons therefore who regard, either what is due to themselves, or the favor and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between the comeliness of health, and the deformity of disease, and who can weigh the advantages which belong to and are inseparable from an engaging appearance, to which perhaps they themselves, have by nature, the strongest claims, are seriously assured these advantages so far as belong to a good skin, are to be obtained by the use of his Lotion, however violently they may happen to be afflicted.
Instead of the studious and debilitating courses of medicines which patients went through formerly, and which perhaps they are still too frequently obliged to undergo, it is now found that the greatest number of these complaints are most certainly & speedily removed by the use of local remedies merely, than they ever were by a contrary course.
LEE'S LOTION
Is celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin, of every kind, it operates mildly without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is so essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Sold at the Bookstore.
The article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
RICHARD LEE & SON.
Persons not attending to the above, are liable to be imposed upon.
