NOTICE
To the Stockholders of the Washington Bridge Company.
IN pursuance of an act of Congress, you are called on by the late commissioners to at- tend in person or by proxy, at Washington, the May next, to elect five Directors, a Treasurer and Clerk. I take the liberty thro' this medium to offer myself a candidate as your Clerk. The advantage to the Alexan- drians of the clerk residing in Alexandria, as the office is to be kept in Washington, is ob- vious, and no injury can possibly arise from this arrangement to the Stockholders in the City. It will render unnecessary in case of transfers, that the persons conveying or re- ceiving the conveyance should repair to the clerk's office in the City to have the needful done. True it is, that it may be done by power of attorney; but the trouble and ex- pence attendant thereon is an inconvenience, independent of the necessity of an agent to effect the transfer; whereas the clerk residing in Alexandria might be the means of saving that expence and trouble by keeping a transfer book there.
The lively interest I have taken in the pro- motion of the Bridge, in which I at present own in my own name and those of others, 146 shares, I flatter myself will entitle me to a preference over any that has no interest there- in. I shall be content to receive whatever em- olument the service may be deemed worthy of, or as low as any competitor that may be presented for your suffrage.

Orleans, and proceeded either from Baltimore or from some other port or place within the U. S. on a foreign voyage to Havanna, without having first given up her license to the collector of the district compre- hending the port of Baltimore, nor to the col- lector of any district comprehending the port from which she was about to proceed on such foreign voyage, and without being duly re- gistered by any such collector:—That on such foreign voyage, the said merchandise was imported from the said schooner from Havanna into the said port of Vienna, and there transported into the port and town of Alexandria, where the same was seized by Charles Simms, esq., collector of the customs as forfeited to the U. S.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, April 8.
Mr. D. Montgomery obtained leave of absence for the remainder of the session.
Mr. Tisley reported a bill in pursuance of a resolution proposed by him to empower the president to exchange certain sites for fortifications near Portland. Twice read and referred.
Mr. Rhea (T.) said he had heard much these few days past respecting the commercial orders and decrees of the European powers; these had no doubt been all published in the newspapers, but he questioned whether they were distinctly known, or had ever been considered collectively — He therefore offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the secretary of state do transmit to this house authentic copies of the several accredited documents which may be in his office, and which do contain articles of treaties, commercial orders & regulations, and orders and decrees of blockade, affecting the commerce of the U. S. which may have been respectively made, or issued by the governments of G. Britain and France, at any time since the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety, exclusively of treaties to which the U. S. are a party.
The resolution was ordered to lie on the table.
The bill for transportation by mail of the documents accompanying the message of the president of the U. S. west through the committee of the whole, and was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. It was afterwards passed without a division.
Mr. Wilbour presented a memorial from the corporation of the town of Newport, R. Island, stating that the island of Rhode Island is defenceless, and praying such measures may be adopted as shall place it in a better state of defence. Referred to a select committee.
Mr. Newton reported a bill to erect Plymouth, in North Carolina, into a port of entry, and to change the name of the district of Nansemond into that of St. Mary's. Twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
MONDAY, April 11.
Messrs. Venable, Moore, Storer, Smith (P.) and Elliot obtained leave of absence for the remainder of the session.
Mr. Quincy presented petitions from five towns in Massachusetts, respecting fish, stating the peculiar distress under which they labor from the operation of the embargo; that it falls unequally upon that class of citizens to which they belong; that they are the class least able to bear it; that their soil is miserable and sandy; and that they depend wholly upon the fishing business for support, having no other employment than fishing; that to carry it on with any success, they should have the right of exportation, as great part of the product of their labor is consumed in foreign countries; that the common home consumption is much reduced by the present low price of other articles for the support of life; that the whole of their product now on hand is of a perishable nature, and great danger will arise in consequence of its putrefaction in summer; that in their opinion it would be better to lose part by capture than to lose the whole from the denial of the privilege of exportation. They pray therefore that they may be allowed to export to foreign ships; they consider that the principle admitted by the permission granted to vessels in ballast to bring home property from abroad, applies here, as that principle was the only mode of saving property, and the proposed mode is the only one which may be devised for saving a valuable property in fish; if this be denied, they pray that the secretary of the treasury may be allowed to buy their fish.
In connection with these petitions Mr. Quincy said he would offer the following resolution, and would preface it but by one observation: that these petitions came from a great number of the laboring class of citizens, stating that their very subsistence was at stake; and that some mode must be devised by which they may escape from perishing.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to take into consideration the peculiar hardships and sufferings to which the citizens of the U. S. immediately interested in the fisheries are subjected by the various acts laying an embargo, and that the committee be instructed to enquire, whether any, and if any, what relief ought to be
extended to them, and that it have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
The house agreed to consider the resolution, ayes 72.
After an hour's debate, on motion of Mr. Newton, the resolution and the petitions were referred to the committee of the whole, to whom similar petitions had been referred — 56 to 26.
Messages were received from the senate announcing their agreement to the amendments of this house to the bill for raising an additional military force, and to the report of the joint committee on the subject of adjournment.
The house took up the report of the committee of adjournment, (directing the speaker to adjourn the house on the twenty-fifth instant) and passed it without a division.
A bill from the senate for registering certain claims to lands lying in the state of Tennessee, was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Poindexter presented a memorial from the legislature of the Mississippi territory, complaining of the mal conduct of P. B. Bruin, presiding judge of the territory of Mississippi.
Mr. P. then offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare and report articles of impeachment against Peter B. Bruin, one of the judges of the superior court of the Mississippi territory, and that the said committee have power to send for persons, papers and records.
Mr. Poindexter hoped the resolution would be adopted; he did not expect that a committee could act on the subject during this session; but it might be put in a state of progress.
Mr. Randolph said he hoped the resolution would lie on the table. He had heard and he was extremely sorry for it, that the house had concurred, sub silentio , with the senate in their agreement to the report on the subject of adjournment. If the house then were bound by their own resolution to adjourn on the 25th, nothing could be done on this subject during the present session. He hoped not to be considered as opposed to the resolution, for he trusted it would at some future time be acted on, and was sorry that the constitution of the United States had not provided a more adequate remedy for these acts of offence. It would be remarked that it was
act during the recess; he hoped therefore that it would lie on the table, and that the house would take up such business as was deemed essential to act on during the present session—such as the bill for arming the whole body of the militia of the United States.
Mr. Smilie wished to know what grounds there were for this proposition, before he consented to pass a resolution declaring an opinion.
Mr. W. Alston said, that the paper which had just been presented by the gentleman from Mississippi, was the result of an enquiry held by the legislature of the territory. They had said the man was disqualified, and Mr. Alston thought it was the best and shortest way to appoint a committee to report articles of impeachment.
Mr. Piken hoped the house would never depart from the dignified course which the legislature of the union ought to pursue. A resolution of the legislature of a state territory was not of itself sufficient ground for impeachment. A committee should first be appointed to enquire into the propriety of impeaching. Great respect no doubt was due to resolutions of the state or territorial legislatures; but he did not consider them as conclusive.
Mr. Rhea (T.) would vote for the resolution lying on the table. He drew a distinction between the legislatures of states and of territories, for, were they to be considered as equal, it might produce mischievous consequences. In saying this he did not mean to derogate from the purity of the legislature, but he did not like this mode of doing business. He would ask whether a report of a committee would be considered as conclusive evidence of fact? Certainly not; for the house would undoubtedly call for the evidence on which that report was bottomed. He remarked that he knew of no authority by which a territorial legislature could act as a grand jury for this house, who would certainly call for evidence before they appointed a committee to prepare articles of impeachment.
Mr. Poindexter said, that at the suggestion of experienced gentlemen, he had modified his resolution by striking out the words in italic , and inserting "enquire into the expediency of preferring." He
took occasion while up to remark that he had a very high respect for the past services of this venerable old man (Judge Bruin.) He had been a patriot of the revolution, in the times which tried men's souls. For this Mr. Poindexter said he venerated him. But his faculties were impaired by habitual intoxication; he had seen him awakened on the bench to attend to business, and in five minutes afterwards he would relapse into sleep. Very important cases frequently occurred in these courts, and it was certainly necessary to judge correctly that a person's faculties should be unimpaired. I will not go further into explanation, said Mr. Poindexter but request that the resolution may pass for enquiry; for if it pass now, the committee may take measures to procure evidence from the Mississippi territory in time for the next session, it cannot be acted on during that session. If postponed till next session, and the result will be that this officer will be quartered upon us for another year.
On the suggestion of Mr. Duna the resolution was ordered to lie on the table till to-morrow, 52 to 26.
The house then resumed the unfinished business (he post office bill) This bill was gone through, after repeated motions for adjournment without success, and about six o'clock was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. When the house adjourned.
TUESDAY, April 12.
The house agreed to meet for the remainder of the session, at ten o'clock on each day.
Mr. Gardner's proposition for the appointment of a committee to enquire into the propriety of providing by law for an earlier meeting of Congress than usual was taken up and agreed to 50 to 26.
The bill for altering and establishing certain post roads was passed by yeas and nays, 71 to 31.
The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole, 55 to 20.
Mr. DESHA in the chair;
On the resolution offered by Mr. G. W. Campbell, declaring that the president of the United States, ought in the event of certain contingencies occurring during the recess of Congress, to be authorised to suspend the operation of the embargo, Messrs. G. W. Campbell and Johnson supported the resolution, and Mr. Randolph opposed it at considerable length (Debate hereafter.)
The committee rose about 4 o'clock, & obtained leave to sit again: when the house adjourned. Farther detail to our next.
From the Philadelphia Register.
THE critical and alarming situation of our country, both in its foreign and domestic relations, demands from every man, whose individual interest is connected with the public prosperity, a full and candid exposition of such facts as he may conceive essential to the promotion of that prosperity, and to the maintenance of the national sovereignty and independence. Nor ought he to suffer any consideration whatever to interfere with this, his first and paramount duty.
Under this impression, and with regard to the imposing station of chief magistrate of the U. S. we shall again place before our fellow citizens, the following most important and highly alarming circumstance—its truth cannot be denied, and the injuries and danger which have resulted from it, are deeply felt, at the present moment, by every virtuous citizen of the U. S.
How far these injuries may be multiplied, and the danger increased, unless prompt and effectual measures of counteraction are interposed, every reasoning mind can readily decide. Our object, however, at present is, fairly and fully to exhibit the fact, referring the issue to those who, by their official oaths, are bound so to administer the concerns of the nation, as to leave no just imputation of undue attachment to any foreign power .
At the opening of the present session of congress, Mr. Jefferson, as president of the U. S. made the following communication, in a written message, to the national legislature.
"With the other nations of Europe, [including France] our harmony has been uninterrupted, and commerce and friendly intercourse have been maintained on their usual footing."
Was this declaration by, and to, the highest executive and legislative authority of the U. S. true or false? Was or was not Mr. Jefferson, at the time of making this communication to congress, in possession of the decree issued by the govern-
ment of France, which interdicted the commerce of the U. S. with every part of the British dominions, comprehending upwards of one third of the whole trade of the U. S.
And, with the knowledge of this enormous encroachment on our rights, as a neutral and friendly nation—under the conviction that such a decree was not only fatal to our prosperity, as an agricultural and commercial people, but that it furnished a just ground of retaliation on the part of Great Britain, and, in all its consequences, involved either war, or a dereliction of our sovereignty as an independent nation, Mr. Jefferson dared, under this conviction, and in the face of the world, to tell the legislature and people of America, that their harmony with France, was uninterrupted, and that their intercourse with that nation, was continued on friendly terms.
Where was the spirit which should have carried the provisions of the constitution into instant effect on this occasion, and by consigning the author of such a declaration to his merited fate, have justified the integrity and independence of the American people.
But lamentable and mortifying as the fact is, the answer to this enquiry is only found in loud and incessant clamors by the parasites of presidential influence, for confidence in the executive—confidence in a cabinet, whose conduct and impurity, fires an indelible stain on the American name and nation.
From the North American.
Our Commerce in Flames!
FIVE American vessels have been lately burnt by two French frigates for the offence of coming from Liverpool. The editor of the American, influenced by the motive of justifying our good and tacitly quondam ally, says this outrage was occasioned by their having with them British licenses. He has indeed since admitted, that the Brutus, one of those vessels, had no license; whence the information was obtained that any of them had, I know not. He will see, by the statement of the Boston papers, that three of them were burnt for having on board "crockery ware," and that the Milan decree was referred to, by Napoleon's officers, for the cause of this conduct.
What sort of license is meant, is not exactly explained. One species of license was, to the middle of January, advertised to be issued by the British government, to protect our vessels and property from British capture, "in case of existing war, or of any other hostilities which may in the mean time take place." The form of it may be seen in the North American of the 21st ult. We presume this is the one alluded to; but how this can convert American property, expressly so rected, into French, is difficult to conceive. It appears to have been a security offered to our vessels against the contingency of a sudden rupture , the apprehension of which, in the then posture of our affairs with Great Britain, might have clogged the usual commercial dealings; and so far the licenses operated to mutual benefit, without tainting, in any manner, the national character of the vessel or property. The object and intention of this sort of license, ought not to be confounded in their nature with those issued by the French during our maritime hostilities with the directory a few years ago. We all remember the latter sort, and that they were made instrumental to avoid the effects of actual war. We wish not to revive, but for comparison, the memory of the odious and nefarious use made of them; and therefore we stop here.
Another species of license is explained in Mr. Madison's letter to Mr. Monroe, of April 12, 1805, lately printed by Congress. In this sort of emanation from the British government, we have no direct concern; and it is therefore only argumentatively censured by that statesman. We readily grant that this sort of license would alter the character of property, but it has nothing to do with the trade between the United States and Liverpool.

FRIDAY, APRIL 15.
WASHINGTON, April 14.
The bill for the relief of the legal representatives of Thomas Barclay, deceased, was read the third time and passed. The bill from the Senate, to revive and amend the act declaring the assent of Congress to certain acts of the legislatures of Maryland and Georgia was read three several times and passed. On motion of Mr. Dana, the resolutions... time ago submitted for the encouragement and protection of American seamen, and to authorise the arming and association of merchant vessels for their mutual defence, were referred to a select committee, with leave to report by bill.
The Speaker laid before the house a letter from the secretary of the treasury, transmitting an account of the public debt, from the year 1791. Mr. Ewing offered a resolution to amend the rules of the house, so as to have a standing committee annually appointed on the subject of post roads. Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Clarke presented a joint resolution of the legislature of the Orleans territory, praying for an alteration in the ordinance for the government of that territory, so as to authorise the legislature to fill up, pro tem. the vacancies which may happen in that body. Referred to a select committee, with leave to report by bill.
Mr. Clarke also presented a resolution from the same legislature praying the establishment of a port of entry on Bayou Tache. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures, with leave to report by bill. Mr. Van Cortlandt presented a joint resolution from the legislature of New York, inquiring and requesting their senators and representatives to urge in the strongest manner the exposed situation of the city of New York, and the destitute condition of the seamen. Referred to a committee of the whole, on the resolution lately offered by Mr. Campbell, authorising the president to lay off the embargo.
Messrs Randolph, and D. R. Williams opposed the resolution, and Mr. G. W. Campbell supported it; after which the committee rose reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. And then the house adjourned.
The Senate have passed the bill concerning COURTS MARTIAL and COURTS OF INQUIRY, with sundry amendments.
On Wednesday last, the site of a battery was laid off on Warburton point on the Potomac. This has always been considered as the best station on the river for arresting the progress of hostile vessels: the channel approaching very near to the shore and so changing its direction, as to subject every ship which passes to be raked for a considerable distance as she approaches, and again after she has passed. Expositor.
We hear from Petersburg, that a duel took place in the vicinity of that town on yesterday morning, between Mr. John D. Burk and Mr. Martens a French gentleman. At the second fire, our informant says, Mr. Burk was shot thro' the heart, and expired immediately. Mr. Burk was well known in this and the adjoining states; and was the author of the history of Virginia (now publishing) and several other literary works of merit. [Richmond Enquirer.]
Extract of a letter from Wm. B. Giles, esq. to his friend in Powhatan. Mr. Monroe's unauthorised treaty is more than Jay's. It appears that he made Jay's treaty his model when necessary, but when he had an occasion to depart from it, he made it infinitely worse. "N.B. You are at liberty to shew this letter to your friends."
Remarks on different subjects.—Mr. Jefferson, we are told, studied law in the early part of his life, but did not continue long in the practice. It would seem as though he and his prime disciples were very fond of the practice now, for they have been quarrelling with their servants ever since they came into power, and always without success.
We remember to have heard, some ten or twelve years ago, that republicanism, or rather Jeffersonianism, was of a purifying nature—that it dissipated all the aristocratic ideas which will be settling down upon men's minds, let them do as they may, and that it exalted poor mortal's thoughts, and made them in truth, "but a little lower than the angels." There are very few, now-a-days, who can vouch for the truth of these assertions. A man who stalks among the democrats in the lobbies of the house of representatives, or waits on some of their honors of the different depart-
ments, can be gratified to his heart's content with the pride of power, the insolence of authority, and the self importance of office. He can soon be convinced, that these self same republicans, who used to clamour so loudly about equality, are as self sufficient, as coxcombical, and as presumptuous as any body would choose to have them.
It is quite amusing to hear a parcel of men, like our congress, discoursing for days & weeks about what they do not, and indeed cannot understand. Some of their TALKS, if we may be permitted to use a phraseology of Mr. Jefferson's "red brethreo," remind us of that dispute in which the sages of Bologna were engaged for three days and three nights. These very wise legislators enacted, that the man who drew blood from another, should suffer death. A poor fellow was taken very ill in the street, and a physician, who was called in to his assistance, bled him. A question immediately arose, whether the physician ought to be hung or not, which, after a very animated, grave and elaborate debate, was determined in the negative by a small majority. [Wash Fed]
From the Liverpool Courant.
THE NEWSPAPER.
"This folio of four pages, happy work! Which not e'en critics criticise, that holds Inquisitive attention while I read Fast bound in chains of silence, which the fair, Tho' eloquent themselves, yet fear to break, What is it but a map of busy life, Its fluctuations and its vast concerns? 'Tis pleasant thro' the loop-holes of retreat To peep at such a world. To see the stir Of the great Babel, and not feel the croud."
A Newspaper is so true a mark of the caprice and levity of Englishmen, that it may be called their coat of arms. The Turkish Koran is not half so sacred to a rigid Mahometan—a parish dinner to an Overseer—a turtle feast to an alderman—or an election to a Freeholder, as a Gazette is to an English quid nunc . If this informs him of a naval armament, he toasts the admiral's in half pints a piece, wishes them success, gets drunk with loyalty, and goes with his head full of seventy fours, sixty fours, frigates, transports, and fire ships.—But a Newspaper whose contents are not sanctioned by authority, is necessarily so much the more the receptacle of invention; thence we hear—it is said—a correspondent remarks—whereas, &c. all serve to please, surprize, and inform. We hear can alter a man's face, as the weather would a barometer. It is said can distort another like a fit of the spasm. If can make some cry, while suppose makes others laugh; while a whereas is like an electrical shock; and though it often runs to the extremity of the kingdom, in unison with the rest, they altogether form a very agreeable mixture. But particular and domestic occurrences form a very essential part of this folly. Thus a marriage hurts an old maid, mortifies a young one, while it consoles many a poor dejected husband, who is secretly pleased to find another is fallen into his case. A death, if a wife, makes husbands envy the widower, while, perhaps, some of the women who censure his want of decent sorrow, marry him a month after!—In fine, every person is put in motion by a Newspaper. It is a bill of fare, containing all the luxuries, as well as necessaries of life. Politics, for instance, are the roast beef of the times—essays the plum pudding, and poetry the flitters, confections, custards, and all the et cetera of the table, usually denominated trifles. Yet the four winds are not liable to more mutability than the vehicles of these entertainments;—for instance, on Monday it is whispered—on Tuesday it is rumored—on Wednesday it is conjectured—on Thursday it is probable—on Friday it is positively asserted—and on Saturday it is premature — But notwithstanding this, some how or other, all are eventually pleased; for, as the affections of all are divided among wit, anecdote, poetry, prices of stocks, the arrival of ships, &c. A Newspaper is a repository where every one has his hobby horse; without it, coffee houses, &c. would be depopulated, and the country squire, the curate, the exciseman and the barber, and many others would lose those golden opportunities of appearing so very wise as they often do.
From Bell's London Weekly Messenger, January 17.
PEACE WITH AMERICA.
The question of the most general interest is, what is to be our future connection with America—are we to have peace or war? It is to be feared that upon this subject, the public feeling, under the management of party, and the fermentation of somewhat of the old leaven, is in a dreadful state of irritation —What is the vulgar cry? Let us have war with America! It will punish her insolence, destroy her commerce, cripple her future attempts at rivalry, and throw her back a whole century in her national growth. She has been dieted from the imbecility of her infancy to her present mature strength
upon the industry and manufactures of England. She has no wealth but the wealth of merchants, no civil sustenance but what she draws from us. Let us make her feel our supremacy, and confess our power, by this pressure upon her necessities.
An American cannot shave or clothe himself without the aid of Sheffield or Manchester—Without the warmth of our fleeces he must be racked with rheumatisms and agues, Have we not a whole continent in check?
Is it possible that America could subsist independent of the clothiers of Yorkshire.
Such is the popular cry: it is the old delusion, a scyon from the same stock of prejudice which originally lost us these colonies.
In every crisis of difficulty and danger we have never hesitated to speak the truth; we pronounce it therefore now, with a confidence which we trust will not be deemed immodest, as it has no other source than in an ardent feeling for the good of our country.
Peace with America, a close conjunction of interests, a confederacy of friendship, a family compact and union, is the most desirable of all possible events that could occur to G. Britain at the present moment.
The war has now ceased; and, as far as the conflict of armies is concerned the sword is sheathed. The continental confederacy is split and bulged to its last timber; and in that state of decomposition and wreck, that no dexterity can promise itself to put it again together.
There is but one power on the continent of Europe; and but one power on the sea—the Leviathan of the land, and the leviathan of the waters.
In this state of things, America, is, beyond a doubt, the third and next great power of the world. She has grown to it by her own industry and under the encouragement of heaven; and we cannot prevent it.
A nation of eight millions of people upon a boundless continent; with two immense oceans rolling on either side which connect them easily with every part of the world that is not their own; such a nation in the present state of things, is a political phenomenon. From habit, from common growth, from reciprocal descent, from a prejudice arising from wants and habits of the same sort, she belongs to us, and nothing but our own folly can alienate her.
Such a nation as this, war can neither cripple nor throw back—Destroy her trade and you do an essential service to her, but an irreparable injury to yourself—She is a continent commerce is nothing to her; we must not think every national good to be found only in the price current .
The mercantile interest of America, forms but a very small part of the interest of the whole. There is an interest of the soil as well as the sea:—America will not debase herself for traders—She encourages them because she lives and profits by their industry; but be assured she hates, and is guarded against the well known selfishness of their feelings.
In a national consideration she would care as little for the ruin of her merchants as you would.
She knows that it is not the sea, but the land that produces wealth; the merchant of America who is scarcely more than a factor or carrier of the goods of other nations does little indeed (whilst his capital is thus employed) for the permanent wealth and benefit of his country.
Destroy this traffic; cut off America from your supplies, and you drive her to the substitution of her own industry and ingenuity: you force her upon ways and means of her own: you strike at her latent qualities; and if she once learns to supply herself (necessity will quickly teach a lesson, upon which fortune and providence have never failed to smile) your market and future traffic with her will be lost to you forever. She will have manufactures of her own, and your customer will prove your rival.
Peace with America will as certainly give all the continuing benefits of the one as war will both take them away, and supply her with the future means of doing without them.
Let us then have peace with America, and though the whole continent be shut against us she can give us all the raw articles we want, and consume them all when we have worked them up.
We want nothing from any other. The tar, hemp, turpentine, add iron of America, are ten times cheaper and better than those of the Baltic.
THE PROTEST.
I protest that no more I'll get drunk— 'Tis the curse and the plague of my life; It ruins my credit, my health, and my purse, My peace and my comfort; and what is still worse, It vexes and angers my Wife!
I protest that no more I'll get drunk, It torments and embitters my life: To ruin 'twould hurry its vot'ry headlong; And reason declares that I am quite in the wrong, And so do the tears of my Wife!
I protest that no more I'll get drunk, Nor lead such a wretched wife life; Its attendants are poverty, shame, and disgrace!
Disease and despair stare me full in the face. And so does my heart broken Wife!
I protest that no more I'll get drunk— 'Tis the spring of all evils in life; 'Tis the curse of all curses, of mischief the worst, 'Tis the plague of all plagues, 'tis the demon accursed, No wonder loud chides my poor wife!
I protest that no more I'll get drunk, For I find it the bane of my life: Henceforth I'll be watchful that naught shall destroy, The comfort and peace that I ought to enjoy, In my children, my home and my wife.

Mount-Washington for Sale.
I will sell my FARM in Fairfax county, and give immediate possession. It is less than three miles from Alexandria, and six from the George-Town ferry—the distance from the projected bridge will be less—the house stands on an elevated hill, and over, looks the City, Alexandria, the river, with the shore, and hills of Maryland. The house which I erected, and is nearly finished, consists of a center house two stories high, and wings of one, joined to it, by circular corridors, the north wing contains 2 small rooms, the front of it, and the corridor adjoining, intended for a green house, this leads to a drawing room—a dining room separated from it by the passage and stair-case, is next to the south corridor which contains 3 closets, and leads to the kitchen—two small rooms in this wing with the kitchen—a pump of excellent water at the door. The second story of the center house contains 3 chambers and a dressing room, with fire places—a large closet adjoins the dining room—one of the same size opens on the stair case, both fitted up with shelves—a store room in the garret, and cupulo on the house top, from whence is seen a delightful, variegated landscape, completes the description of the mansion house. A neat cottage accommodates laborers, and there are stables, a carriage house, and ice house; the farm contains 103 acres, 70 enclosed and cultivated, the rest in wood; this place boasts the finest collection of fruit that I have seen, besides every other sort; the list given to me was 800 apples, 800 peaches, and 300 cherry trees: I have added several hundred of the best kinds.—The garden consists of 12 large squares, the soil enriched and borders filled with fruit trees, and bushes; it is surrounded by a live cedar hedge, which also extends on each side of the house: the former proprietor possessed much taste, and collected many ornamental trees and shrubs, which are judiciously disposed about the grounds. The soil is suitable for grass, and the portion of ground devoted to timothy and clover, yield an abundant crop; it produced good wheat and oats last year, and I think with small expense may be rendered productive. Those who wish a residence, where health will be preserved, and convenience of intercourse with Alexandria, George-Town, and the seat of government, will find all combined in Mount-Washington. I will shew the premises and impart the terms of sale, upon applications by letters directed to the Post-Office, Alexandria.
