Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which is on three streets) which will be sold for one price, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.

THE EMBARGO, A FABLE.
Two powerful neighbors once fell out, Though neither well knew what about: Some thought that Envy's baneful sway Had first enkindled the affray; And some, that Hatred's deadly rage Urged them thus furiously to engage; All arts they used, all methods tried, To mortify each other's pride; And no crime seem'd too vile or horrid, By which the other might be worried.
An honest Farmer liv'd hard by, Who view'd their contests with a sigh; Of gentle turn, he took no share In what engross'd the Wranglers' care: He only wish'd, in peaceful toil, To enjoy the products of his soil. The Wranglers saw, with jealous hate, The Farmer's happy, thriving state: Both tried, by trick and noisy babble, To entrap him in their silly squabble; But finding useless all their schemes, They seiz'd by force his crops and teams; And spite of honor, truth and reason, Flunder'd whatever they could seize on.
The Farmer bore these robb'ries long, Nor took one step to ease the wrong— Save once he ventured to proclaim Their foul misdeeds, their murd'rous shame. Finding the Farmer meek and mild, The Wranglers' indignation boil'd: One roar'd, and swore, in savage tone, He should not be allow'd the moor To see, unless he paid him for it— While other roar'd, in accents horrid, That if he paid a single sou, He'd take his farm, and thresh him too. The simple Farmer, (sad to tell!) Rather than these insults repel— Rather than gloriously fight For his unmeasurable rights— Meanly resolv'd (the despicable elf) To tear his eyes out, and destroy himself!

ECONOMY IN BAKING BREAD.
Letter from the Reverend FRANCIS HAGGITT, Precentor of Durham, to the BISHOP OF DERHAM.
MR. LORD,
If you were surprized at receiving from me a loaf of bread, your surprize will cease when I explain my reason for sending it: in doing which I must enter into some details which I am persuaded will be far from uninteresting to your lordship. In the course of reading an old work on rural economy, I lately met with the following assertion, viz. That flour kneaded with bran water will produce a more substantial bread and a greater quantity of it, than is obtained by the common mode of baking — As the author says nothing more on the subject, I conclude he wrote in a time of plenty; but the information (if it should prove correct) appeared to me of vast importance in these days of scarcity, and I determined to make the experiment without delay.
Accordingly I caused four bushels of wheat (nine gallon measure) to be ground, and nothing but the coarse bran taken out: the produce was four bushels and a half of flour and 22 lb. of bran. About ten days ago I boiled some of the bran and kneaded a due proportion of the flour with the strained liquor, and the result of the experiment was so highly satisfactory, that I resolved to repeat it with the most strict attention and the most scrupulous exactness. The detail of this second experiment I am now about to communicate to your lordship. and I thought proper to send you some of the bread produced by it, that you might form a judgement of its excellence. — Yesterday I took five pounds of bran, boiled it, and with the liquor strained from it, kneaded fifty-six pounds of flour, adding the usual quantity of yeast and salt. When the dough was sufficiently risen it was weighed, and divided into loaves; the weight before being put in the oven being ninety-three pounds twelve ounces, or about eight pounds ten ounces more than the same quantity of flour kneaded in the common way; it was then baked two hours, and some time after being drawn, the bread was weighed, and gave eighty-three pounds eight ounces — loss in baking ten pounds five ounces. The same quantity of flour kneaded with common water loses about fifteen pounds eleven ounces in the baking, and produces only sixty-nine pounds
eight ounces of bread — gain by my method fourteen pounds; that is, a clear encrease of one fifth of the usual quantity of bread from a given quantity of flour.
This encrease, which at first appears astonishing, (since only five pounds of bran were boiled) seems to depend on a combination of three causes: first the water in which the bran is boiled, weighs half a pound more per gallon than plain water; secondly, owing to its glutinous consistence, it is less subject to evaporation by heat; thirdly, and principally, a greater quantity of it is necessary to make the dough; a bushel or fifty-six pounds of flour requires three gallons of plain water, (i. e. 27 pounds) but it imbibed three gallons and three quarts of bran water, weighing thirty-five pounds ten ounces. The bran after being used in this way, is equally fit for many domestic purposes, and I suspect more nutritious for pigs and poultry than if given to them raw. I had the curiosity to weigh it after the liquor was strained off, and found that it had gained twelve pounds: and if water incorporates with it in the same manner as it does with rice, why not its nutritive power be encreased in the same manner? The conjecture accords at least, with Count Rumford's principle. But to return to my experiment: I have amused myself with the following calculations which perhaps will make your lordship smile.
The encrease of bread, by this method, being a fifth from a given quantity of flour, the consumption of flour would be saved by it every sixth day, or sixty days in a year. — Supposing then that the practice were universally adopted, and taking the consumption of flour in this kingdom at 200,000 bushels per day, the annual saving would amount to 12 millions of bushels, which at the present price would cost about ten millions sterling, and in ordinary times above four millions. Of the wholesomeness of the bread there can be no doubt; of its flavor you will judge by the specimen I have sent you: I can add by experience that it keeps well. After my first batch had been baked ten days, I put a loaf which remained of it into my oven for about twenty minutes, and being suffered to grow cool again, it was cut, and had every appearance of new bread; nay, we even thought it better than it was at first — I am, with true respect, your lordships dutiful and obedient servant, FRANCIS HAGGITT.
SPANISH MANIFESTO.
[Translated for the N. York Evening Post.]
SEVILLE, June 18.
This day was published the following manifesto, or statement of the principal facts which occasioned the creation of the supreme council of Seville, which in the name of Ferdinand VII, governs the kingdoms of Seville, Cordova, Granada, Jaen, the provinces of Esremadura, New Castile, and others which are shaking off the yoke of the emperor of the French.
Spain was reposing in her own grandeur, preserved through so many ages, and was relying upon the alliance and forces of France. As soon as she made peace with the latter in 1795, she embraced her interests, and gave her ships, money, troops & whatever aid she thought fit to require. Even the very kings of Spain appeared like feudatories of France; and to this union with Spain it may be said France owes her triumphs and her successes. During all this time Spain was governed with absolute and despotic sway by the wicked Godoy, who abusing the excessive goodness of our king Charles IV, appropriated to himself in 18 years of favor, the treasures of the crown, the property of individuals, the public employments, (which he distributed infamous-ly) every title, honor, and even the appellation of highness, with the dignities of generalissimo and admiral, and with salaries augmented to immense and scandalous sums which filled up the measure of our calamity. As it appears that he aspired to the royal throne, and the prince of Asturias don Ferdinand was an obstacle to the attainment of his wish, he attacked directly his sacred person; he attributed to him conspiracies against his august father, and under this pretext caused him to be arrested, and issued the horrible circular of the 30th October, 1807, and the truly ridiculous one of the 5th November following. The people saw both of them with amazement; they believed neither; and the council of Castile, called to take cognizance of the cause, unanimously declared the prince of Asturias innocent. The king his father did not conform to this decision, and caused the pretended accomplices of the prince of Asturias to be severely punished. With the Spanish people the name of their king was sufficient to induce them to obey, and suffer in silence; in this state, things continued till the month of March, of the present year 1808, when the danger of the same king & of the country, converted their patience into fury. Previously to this, the king of Portugal was obliged to abandon Europe, to go to America, and to command their subjects to make no resistance to the French
army, which was entering their territory. — So much moderation did not soften or calm the ambition of Napoleon. His troops took possession of Portugal, and committed there excesses which affright humanity. Napoleon annexed that kingdom to his empire, and imposed on it heavy contributions, which it would not have suffered from the most ferocious conqueror. Spain saw by this example, that if her kings abandoned her she would suffer the same lot as Portugal; besides that, neither the love which they have for their kings, nor a thousand other reasons, could permit Spaniards to see with indifference the overthrowing of their fundamental laws, and the annihilation of their monarchy, the most glorious of the whole earth. French armies had at this time entered Spain; had possessed themselves of her principal fortresses, and had arrived near Madrid, protesting that they came to effect no change, that their only object was the execution of a vast design against England, and that their intention was to make us happy. At this juncture then, it is published, and even proofs are given, that the king, queen, and all the royal family are about to abandon the capital, to go to Andalusia, and sail to America in English vessels. The rumors irritate the people extremely against don Manuel Godoy, the sole and only author of this abandonment; all the troops of the royal palace, the rest of the army, and all the honest inhabitants, unite in Aranjuez to prevent its execution, and they do prevent it. The infamous favorite excites their just indignation, and owes his life to the generosity of the prince of Asturias. King Charles renounces the crown and sends to the council the most authentic document of his free abdication. While events so extraordinary are passing not a drop of blood is spilt at Aranjuez; such is the unheard-of loyalty of the Spanish people. In Madrid the council cause the abdication of Charles IV to be published, and his eldest son and prince of Asturias don Ferdinand VII to be proclaimed king. The people of the capital and the whole nation received this information with a joy of which there is no example, and protested their love, their obedience, and their fidelity to their NEW KING with an union, with an ardor, and with demonstrations so new, that they are unknown in history, even in that of the most faithful Spanish nation. The French armies could not but be astonished at such strange events, and even the burning of the furniture of some suspected houses of Madrid, was executed with such order, with such attention that the public should not suffer, and so bloodlessly, that it may be said that the Spanish nation alone is capable of such circumspection in a popular commotion.
All persons believed that the French would unite with the Spaniards to celebrate their happy incident of having prevented their kings from abandoning Spain and embarking in an English squadron. But what was their surprize, when they saw that this very event which ought to have been so agreeable to the French, was the pretext which they laid hold of to persecute us, destroy our kings, put an end to the monarchy, and commit horrors such as history neither does nor can relate! They have multiplied them so that it will be very difficult, not to say impossible to detail them in their order. The first was the entry of the French army into Madrid, who fixed cannon in various public places, and assumed an authority such as no monarch of Spain would have exercised. The shouts of joy at the accession of Ferdinand seventh still continued; but Charles IV, so often deceived, made a protest against his former abdication, sent it to Bayonne to Napoleon I. and made the latter the arbiter of his fate. Ferdinand VII departed in person to receive Napoleon, who had promised and caused the duke, of Berg, to publish that he was coming to Spain, fixing a period of four days for his arrival. Ferdinand VII sent before him his brother the infant don Carlos, who not meeting Napoleon, entered France. King Ferdinand followed him into Vitoria, and at that city the inhabitants, whose affectionate and loyal hearts presaged the sad destiny which awaited him in France, impeded his departure, cut the traces of his coach, and implored him not to deliver himself to Napoleon. The king, whose generosity and greatness of soul caused him to disregard these clamors, continued his journey, and entered Bayonne to embrace Napoleon, who had invited him by a thousand deceitful caresses and assurances, giving him in his letters the title of king of Spain. Before we proceed, let us return to Madrid & to the horrible deeds which he (Napoleon) was expecting. Ferdinand VII had created a supreme council of government, whose members he designated, and appointed for president his uncle the infant don Antonio. It was necessary to destroy this council, and consummate the iniquitous designs which
were formed: for this purpose the royal family were compelled to set out for France, without excepting those infants whose tender age ought to have excited some compassion. On seeing this the people of Madrid were infuriated, and the French troops made their irritation a pretext, for entering with arms & artillery on the 2d of May, attacking furiously the unfortunate inhabitants, and committing a butchery — the recollection of which even now fills us with horror. The weak Spanish governor, oppressed by the duke of Berg, after having prohibited the Spanish troops from going to the assistance of their brethren, presented himself publicly in the streets of Madrid, and on seeing him the people laid down their arms and calmed their fury. This obedience, this respect peculiar to the Spanish people, instead of appeasing irritated the ferocious Murat, and under the pretence that some of them carried arms, although they were not prohibited from doing so except by a subsequent law, he caused them to be shot in cool blood. Priests then suffered death, culprits carrying a penknife; artisans for carrying the implements of their trades; and persons of every class from the bare suspicion of a furious army, without honor, without religion, and without reflection. Afterwards the infant don Antonio was obliged to depart for Bayonne.
Ferdinand VII. had chosen the members of the council of government, and no one could add others; notwithstanding, the bane-reigner Murat was not ashamed to oblige those members to elect him president even in his presence, a circumstance which of itself suffices to prove the horrible violence with which he acted; this decree was signed and published by all the members of the council. What subjects! What Spaniards! The French attempted to form a party in Madrid and in the kingdom for Charles IV. and made use of insidious proclamations and other indecent methods, but could not succeed. The authors of these plots go unpunished, but the nation, Europe, the whole world, have seen that the French have impudently falsified the truth when they published that in Spain there are divisions and parties. There are none, and to the perpetual ignominy of those who have spread such reports the whole nation exclaims that she wishes not, loves not, that there is not, any other king than Ferdinand VII. At length appeared in the council of Castile the protest of Charles IV, sent by Napoleon to Murat; & that body governed by error to its eternal dishonor, determined that Ferdinand VII. was not king of Spain, but Charles IV, and that the abdication of the latter was a nullity. What a crowd of reflections present themselves here, when it is considered that the council is the first tribunal of justice of the kingdom, and its ministers the ministers of the laws. But let us continue — Charles IV. by having resumed the crown, again possessed the power of choosing a governor for the kingdom, and affecting the French spirit and language even in his expressions, appointed Murat, or if you please the Duke of Berg, to that office with the title of Lieutenant. Hitherto appearances had been preserved, but in a very short time even appearances were no longer regarded. On the 4th of May, Charles the IV. was declared king at Bayonne, and said that he wished to consecrate the remainder of his life to the government and happiness of his subjects. But on the eighth day of the same month of May King Charles forgot all this, and renounced the Crown of Spain in favour of the Emperor Napoleon, with an express power to the latter to confer it at his pleasure on whom he should think proper. What contradictions! What folly! The Monarchy of Spain did not belong to Charles IV. nor did he possess it in his own right, but by the right of blood agreeably to our fundamental laws; and the same Charles IV. had just before expressed and acted upon that principle in resuming the throne. By what authority, by what right does he transfer the crown of Spain, and treat the Spaniards like herds of cattle that graze in the fields? By what power does he take away the succession to the monarchy from his sons and descendants, and from all the heirs to it by birth and by blood? It will certainly be an authentic proof of the blindness of ambition, that Napoleon with his vaunted talents did not know these truths, and has drawn upon himself the eternal infamy of having received the Spanish Monarchy from one who had no right, no power to give it to him — And there would be the same nullity, should he succeed in his infamous design in making his brother Joseph Napoleon King of Spain, since neither he nor Napoleon I, can be nor shall be kings of Spain, but by the right of blood, which they have not, or by the unanimous election of the Spaniards, which will never take place; and let them know this from henceforth forever.
It was desirable to sanction these viol-

sons of right with the name and signature of Ferdinand VII, and for that purpose there was first published his renunciation in favor of Charles IV, his father, and afterwards a second one in favor of Napoleon, which Ferdinand, his brother the infant don Carlos, and his uncle the infant don Antonio were forcibly compelled to sign. There are very weighty reasons for presuming that these two renunciations are forgeries; but granting them to be genuine, they evidently annul the state of violence in which they were made, and their perfect nullity. On the 4th May Charles resumed the throne, and the renunciation of Ferdinand VII bears date on the 6th. If Charles IV could of himself resume the throne, of what utility was the renunciation of Ferdinand VII? If that renunciation was at all necessary, by what authority did Charles IV previously resume the throne? The same argument still more strongly applies to the renunciation of the sovereignty of Spain in favor of Napoleon. Charles IV made it on the 8th of May, and Ferdinand VII on the 12th. Consequently that of Charles IV was not valid because that of Ferdinand VII was valid, for if it was valid, why require the other? In both the violence which compelled them to be made, is not only apparent, but without example. Ferdinand VII was treated as soon as he entered France in the most unworthy manner. He is surrounded with French guards; he has been separated from his retinue; he has been reduced to a miserable situation, and has even been threatened with the loss of life. The strongest circumstance is, that Napoleon I. with all his ignominy has not attained his purpose. Besides Ferdinand VII, his brother the Infant Don Carlos, the whole royal family and their descendants, retain an inviolable title to the throne of Spain.  Posterity will learn with wonder that even the Council of Castile lent its aid to so many and so horrible usurpations, and authorized them with its name, by which some persons of little reflection have been deceived. It is clearer than the light, that the Council of Castile has no power to change the reigning dynasty, and overturn the fundamental laws respecting the order of succession. The horrible consequences of having been obliged to prorogue to itself this power which it has not, have brought the most heavy calamities upon the whole nation. It was, therefore, absolutely necessary for the remedy of those calamities, that the Supreme Council of Government of Seville should be created at the instance of the people; which Supreme Council of Seville, in the exercise of its powers has declared itself independent, has disobeyed the Council of Castile, has cut off all communication with Madrid, has raised armies and caused them to march to combat the French. God has bestowed his blessing upon us and our pure intentions. Between the 23d of May and 27th, the whole nation has risen in a mass to proclaim their king and defend their country. They have elected Captain Generals and Commanders of the army. They have been organized; the people run to arms with ardor, and individuals and corporations who possess the ability are making abundant donations. Andalusia was attacked by a French army at the very moment when she raised her voice in the favor of her Religion, her King, and her Country; and in less than fifteen days we have already surrounded it, and it cannot avoid either to surrender or a disgraceful retreat. The French squadron anchored at Cadiz, has just struck its colors, and surrendered itself to us at discretion. The Provinces of Spain continued to recognize in this Supreme Council the faithful depository of the royal authority and centre of union, without which we should expose ourselves to internal or civil wars, which would completely ruin our holy cause. We have made an armistice with the English; we have a free communication with them; they have offered and given us much assistance, and we expect still greater; they have kindled part of their troops and are now fighting for us at several places; there are at Cadiz ready to embark three engines from us to the King of Great Britain, who will doubtless negotiate a durable and advantageous peace with the English nation. Portugal is in commotion and ready to shake off its disgraceful yoke; America as loyal to its King as European Spain, cannot fail to unite with her in so just a cause. Both will make the utmost exertions in behalf of their king, their laws, their country and their religion. America is threatened, if she does not unite with us with the same calamities which Spain has suffered, the destruction of the monarchy, the overturning of her government and laws, the dreadful dissoluteness of manners, robberies, assassinations, persecution of the priests, violation of the temples, of the virgins consecrated to God, the almost total extinction of religion and its rites; in short the most barbarous and ignominious slavery, under the yoke of an usurper, who knows neither piety nor justice, nor humanity, and is insensible to shame. We shall deride his rage, if Spain and Spanish America are united. The Supreme Council will provide for every occurrence, with an indefatigable zeal. America will support it with the abundance of her fertile soil, so favored by nature, sending im-
mediately the royal property and what she can acquire by patriotic donations of corporations, communities, prelates and individuals. Commerce will again flourish with freedom of navigation, and with the favors and privileges which this Supreme Council will dispense, of which our compatriots may be certain. Let us be all Spaniards. Let us then be truly united in defence of Religion, the King and our Country.

Alexandria Daily Gazette. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. —In 153 towns, whose returns have been made public the result, as stated in the Amherst paper, appears to be as follows:
The Marquis Yrujo, late minister from his catholic Majesty to the United States, and col. Burr, it is stated, arrived at Corunna in Spain some time in July.  (Wash. Fed.)  A letter has been received by a gentleman in town from his friend in Virginia, stating that Mr. Madison lately speaking on the subject of the embargo, gave it as his opinion that "IT WOULD NOT BE TAKEN OFF FOR A TWELVEMONTH." The intelligence reaches us in such a way as to leave no doubt of its correctness, and it is in perfect conformity with the repeated declarations of the President himself. It is a settled plan of policy, which will not be departed from, so long as the present rulers or others who harbor their anti-commercial prejudices remain in power. The farmers of the country have but one way left to remove the cumbrous load, that 'sits like incubus upon them.' They must repair to the polls at the approaching elections, with ballots in their hands for men who are known friends to peace and free trade.
The Arcturus stopped at Fayal, and while there, a Portuguese 74, arrived on her way to England, from Brazil, and informed that sir Sidney Smith was about proceeding with an allied army of British and Portuguese, against Buenos Ayres.
President's Answer to the Boston Petition. The following answer to the petition of the inhabitants of this town, from the president of the United States was received on Tuesday by the selectmen, and is now presented to the public by the order.
Wm. Cooper, Town-Clerk. BOSTON, Sept. 6, 1808. AUGUST 26, 1808. SIR, I BEG leave to communicate through you the inclosed answer to the representation which came to me under cover from you, and to add the assurances of my respect.  Th. Jefferson. Charles Bulfinch, esq. for the Selectmen of Boston.
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Boston, in legal Town-Meeting assembled. YOUR representation and request were received on the 22d instant, and have been considered with the attention due to every expression of the sentiments and feelings of so respectable a body of my fellow-citizens. No person has seen with mere concern than myself, the inconveniences brought on our country in general, by the circumstances of the times in which we happen to live; times to which the history of nations presents no parallel. For years we have been looking as spectators on our brethren of Europe, afflicted with all those evils which necessarily follow an abandonment of the moral rules which bind men and nations together. Connected with them in friendship and com-
merce, we have happily so far kept aloof from their calamitous conflicts, and by a steady observance of justice towards all, by much forbearance, and multiplied sacrifices. At length, however, all regard to the rights of others having been thrown aside, the belligerent powers have beset the highway of commercial intercourse with edicts, which taken together, expose our commerce and mariners, under almost every destination, a prey to their fleets and armies. Each party indeed would admit our commerce with themselves, with the view of associating us in their war against the other. But we have wished war with neither. Under these circumstances were passed the laws of which you complain, by those delegated to exercise the power of legislation for you, with every sympathy of a common interest in exercising them faithfully. In reviewing these measures therefore we should advert to the difficulties out of which a choice was of necessity to be made. To have submitted our rightful commerce to prohibitions and tributary exactions from others would have been to surrender our independence. To resist them by arms was war, without consulting the state of things or the choice of the nation. The alternative preferred by the legislature of suspending a commerce placed under such unexampled difficulties, besides saving to our citizens their property, and our mariners to their country, has the peculiar advantage of giving time to the belligerent nations to revise a conduct as contrary to their interests as it is to our rights.
"In the event of such peace, or suspension of hostilities between the belligerent powers of Europe, or of such change in their measures affecting neutral commerce, as may render that of the U. S. sufficiently safe, in the judgment of the president," he is authorized to suspend the embargo. But no peace or, suspension of hostilities, no change of measures affecting neutral commerce, is known to have taken place. The orders of England, and the Decrees of France and Spain, existing at the date of these laws and still unrepealed, as far as we know. In Spain indeed a contest for the government appears to have arisen; but of its course or prospects, we have no information on which prudence would undertake a hasty change in our policy, even were the authority of the executive competent to such a decision.
You desire that, in this defect of power, Congress may be specially convened. It is unnecessary to examine the evidence or the character of the facts which are supposed to dictate such a call: Because you will be sensible, on an attention to dates, that the legal period of their meeting is as early as, in this extensive country, they could be fully convened by a special call.
I should, with great willingness, have executed the wishes of the inhabitants of the town of Boston, had peace, or a repeal of the obnoxious edicts, or other changes, produced the case in which alone the laws have given me that authority; and so many motives of justice and interest lead to such changes, that we ought continually to expect them. But while these edicts remain, the legislature alone can prescribe the course to be pursued.

FOR SALE, My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes, my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county. R. W. Ashton. Virginia, King George county, } June, 24th (25) 1808. 2aw3m.
