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 2d May next, to elect five Directors, a Treasurer and Clerk. I take the liberty thro' his medium to offer myself a candidate as your Clerk. The advantage to the Alexan- drians of the clerk residing in Alexandria, as he 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.

The following are the propositions of amendment to the constitution of the U. S. offered by Mr. Hillhouse.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled,—two thirds of both houses concurring, That the following articles be proposed to the legislatures of the several states, as amendments to the constitution of the U. S. all or any of which articles, when ratified by three fourths of the said legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said constitution, viz.
ARTICLES in addition to and amendment of the constitution of the U. S. of America, proposed by congress, and ratified by the legislatures of the several states, pursuant to the fifth article of the original constitution.
Article 1. After the third day of March one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the house of representatives shall be composed of members chosen every year by the people of the several states: their electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature: and their terms of service shall expire on the first Tuesday of April in each year.
Art. 2. After the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the senators of the U. S. shall be chosen for three years, and their term of service shall expire on the first Tuesday of April.
Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first election, they shall be divided as may be, into three classes. The seats of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the first year, of the second class at the expiration of the second year, and of the third class at the expiration of the third year; so that one third may be chosen every year. Vacancies to be filled as already provided.
Art. 3. On the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the president of the U. S. shall be appointed, and shall hold his office until the expiration of the first Tuesday of April, one thousand eight hundred and fourteen. And on the first Tuesday of April, one thousand eight hundred and fourteen, and on the first Tuesday of April, in each succeeding year, the president shall be appointed to hold his office during the term of one year. The mode of appointment shall be as follows:
In the presence of the senate and house of representatives, each senator belonging to the class whose term of service will first expire, and constitutionally eligible to the office of president, of which the house of representatives shall be the sole judges, and shall decide without debate, shall, beginning with the first on the alphabet, and in their alphabetical order, draw a ball out of a box containing the same number of uniform balls as there shall be senators present and eligible, one of which balls shall be colored, the others white; the senator who shall draw the colored ball shall be president. A committee of the house of representatives, to consist of a member from each state, to be appointed in such manner as the house shall direct, shall place the balls in the box, shall shake the same, so as to intermix them, and shall superintend the drawing thereof.
In case of the removal of the president from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers & duties thereof; if congress be then in session, or if not, as soon as they shall be in session; the president shall, in the manner before mentioned, be appointed for the residue of the term: and until the disability be removed, or a president be appointed, the speaker of the senate shall act as president. And congress may, by law, provide for the case of removal by death, resignation, or inability of the president, and vacancy in the office, or inability of the speaker of the senate; and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability of the president be removed, or another be appointed.
The seat of a senator who shall be appointed president shall thereby be vacated.
Art. 4. After the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the compensation of the president shall not exceed fifteen thousand dollars a year.
Art. 5. After the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the office of vice president shall cease, and the senate on the same day in each year, when the president shall be annually ap-
pointed, shall choose a speaker; and in the absence of the speaker, or when he shall exercise the office of president, the senate shall choose a speaker PRO-TEM-PORE.
Art. 6. After the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the president shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the senate and of the house of representatives, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court, and all other officers of the U. S. whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but congress may, by law vest the appointment of such officers as they think proper in the president, and with the advice and consent of the senate; and of inferior officers in the president as alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments; but no law vesting the power of appointment shall be for a longer term than two years. All proceedings on nominations shall be with closed doors and without debate; but information of the character and qualifications of the persons nominated shall be received.
Art. 7. After the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, the president shall have power to fill all vacancies that may happen during the recess of congress, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session. No removal from office shall take place without the consent of the senate & of the house of representatives. But congress may by law authorize the removal by the same power as may, by law, be authorized to make the appointment. But in every case of misconduct in office, where the consent of the senate, or of the senate and house of representatives, shall be necessary to a removal, the president, during the recess of congress, may suspend the officer, and make a temporary appointment of a person to exercise the office, until the next meeting of congress, and until a decision can be had, by the senate, or by the senate and house of representatives, as the case may be, on a question for the removal of the officer suspended. All proceedings respecting removal from office shall be had without debate, upon the information and reasons which shall be communicated by the president, and with closed doors.
From the North American.
A bill respecting Aliens has been brought into the house of representatives by Mr. Burwell a Virginian gentleman, who though he belongs to the reigning sect of politics, has given several proofs of an independent manner of thinking. The first section provides, that in future naturalization shall confer no further rights than are local or municipal; so that the privilege of a citizen shall be retained by foreigners hereafter naturalized, only during their actual residence.
We presume this is intended to affect the condition of sea-faring persons, in order to avoid the disputes which we might have about impressment. If so we think the phraseology not sufficiently exact; for those who follow the sea as a profession, not having a fixed or permanent corporal residence, have attributed to them by construction a domicil according to circumstances not accurately definable, and which possibly may be construed to meet and fulfil the expression "ACTUAL residence." If therefore, this be the principal object of the bill, it will, in our humble opinion be better accomplished by using words admitting of less latitude. This section may have another intention equally laudable and salutary, to strip of fraudulent privileges, persons whose only purpose in becoming citizens is to abuse them by retiring to other countries, where they might profit of it, to the injury of this country whose name they assume. We should be glad to find that Mr. Burwell had both these cases in view and that he should succeed in the attempt to rectify them.
The second section debars the naturalization of persons, who, having been citizens, have renounced their rights by expatriation, "according to the laws of any of the states." It is believed that no state in the Union, except Virginia, has provided any law or form of expatriation. In all others the common law, which forbids the transfer of allegiance, has a binding force. It cannot be supposed that the operation of this section of the projected law was intended to be confined to Virginia. May not the constitutional power of congress to make naturalization laws be fairly construed to confer the incident of defining when, and in what manner, it may be terminated? and if so, might it not be expedient to regulate this subject by federal laws of expatriation, as it is called, without a reference either to the common law, or to the anomalous provision of Virginia? With the latter exception, the American jurisprudence is liable to the reproach; that whilst by the force of the common law, it retains its hold of its own citizens, so it readily adopts and retains those of foreign nations, who pass through the mummery of naturalizing according to the
statute. From what has happened it might perhaps on some occasion, hereafter even be insisted, that the naturalizing expedient once accomplished, ought to justify a national demand for foreign seamen or other persons seized and seizable, under certain combinations of circumstances.
This second section, if properly arranged, is susceptible of restraining in some measure, changes of the quality of allegiance, to suit the occasional interests of individuals, and facilitate the evasion of prohibitory laws, having relation to extraterritorial acts.
After all we pass no opinion upon the expediency of the first section of the law contemplated, except as it may be made to bear upon specific classes of cases, calling for remedy. We cannot say that foreigners naturalized hereafter should be deprived of national privileges, clearly within the power of our legislature, and generally not liable to abuse, when enjoyed out of our country. One of the greatest errors in new laws, is their sweeping comprehension of general circumstances, which did not call for them with the voice of experience, or which have not demanded them by the careful discriminations of examination. We think, however, much may be done in the present instance, which will give respect to our legal system in the eyes of foreign nations, and protect us from unjust and unnecessary alterations with them.
The bill is as follows, A bill supplemental to the act, entitled "an act to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and to repeal the acts heretofore passed on the subject."
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States of America in congress assembled, That every alien who shall arrive within the U. S. after the passing of this act, may be admitted to become a citizen of the U. S. on complying with the conditions specified by the act to which this is a supplement: provided nevertheless, that he shall be entitled to the rights, benefits and privileges of a citizen, for and during his actual residence within the U. S. or their territories and no longer."
"Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That if any citizen of the U. States shall, after the passing of this act, expatriate himself according to the laws of the individual states, he shall, ipso facto be deemed an alien, and shall moreover be rendered incapable of becoming a citizen of the U. States."
Refer red to a committee of the whole on Wednesday next.
From the Same.
THE condition in which many of the European nations now are, is truly melancholy. All the fine wheat countries on the Baltic have been so ravaged by the merciless conquering armies of France, that instead of furnishing others as heretofore, they are now in absolute want themselves. Portugal and Spain are without provisions; England and Ireland are both in distress on the same account. Must humanity, as well as every active faculty of this country, be brought to a pause? Contrary to the benevolence which Providence has prescribed as a duty always operative, even towards enemies, shall we cause millions of unoffending people to suffer want by decreeing our superfluous abundance to perish? Yet our rulers pretend to philosophy and philanthropy. Let the sober moralist reflect upon this in his diurnal meditations, when he retires to call down blessings upon himself and his family. How shall he repeat, "Give us this day our daily bread," when it is literally refused by our government to others?
Let the fate of Portugal speak for the effect which this subservient prohibition, will produce upon France. Can it be, that those who are placed in the high stations, which enable them to dispose of our destinies, and consequently the conveniences of others, should be insensible to this last warning? Will they persevere in measures which have been accounted for, to the understanding of reflecting men, only by the supposition, that what they have made us suffer has resulted from fear of or favor to France? What has been the issue, in other countries? The people of Portugal, not the royal family, have been recently called upon for 20,000,000 of dollars, the payment of which will be enforced by the bayonet!
That at the present time, Americans should, in the acts of their government, nay even in the inclinations of any of them, discover a leaning towards the French interests, is one of the most singular circumstances that ever occurred in the history of man.
At this time, more than usually, the hideous ghost of British influence is conjured up, in the hope that it may take the attention from the real monster of French domination, whose approach is come, and whose loud call has resounded through the nation. This is a stale device. When Genet, Fouchet and Adet were striving to
establish an influence from a different quarter, the cry of British influence was yelled in the same manner. These Frenchmen were so bold as indirectly, in their official communications, to charge administration itself with subservience to the cause of Great Britain. These are the words of one of them, in an official paper, which was printed by order of Congress—
"That the American government suffered the English to interrupt the commercial relations existing between her and the U. S. that by a perfidious condescension it permitted the English to violate a right which it ought for its own honor and interest to defend; under the cloak of neutrality, it presented to England a poignard to cut the throat of its faithful ally; in fine, partaking in the tyrannical and homicidal rage of Great Britain, it concurred to plunge the people of France into the horrors of famine."
Washington was then President. It is not the yeomanry of the U. S. from whom proceeds the fear of a British influence: they are, however, the objects whom artful men endeavor to terrify with the phantom; and there is no calculating the mischief done. Since, however, the publication of the letter of Champagny, lately extracted from the devouring tomb of secrecy, we trust their eyes will be opened, and as a consequence, that a proper magnanimity will be inspired into the government, in its conduct towards the tyrant, who now steps beyond all bounds, prescribed by the most infatuated forbearance, assuming our concerns into his own hands, and declaring war for us against G. Britain.
It is to be expected, according to the proper influence of public opinion, now clearly evinced, that the mutilated & peace meal form in which French communications have gone abroad, compared with those which related to her adversary, will be adjudged to be bad policy; and that the late advices from France, said to be of an equally gloomy and disastrous complexion with the letter of Champagny of the 15th Jan. will be submitted to the public without farther delay.
It is the public interest and the public safety, that now lie in danger, at the bottom of the proceedings of government; and the people have therefore a right to know what is doing.
In the name of the Emperor of the French.
LIBERTY OF THE SEAS, A RESOLVE—To open all the ports of the colony to the entry of French and neutral vessels laden with provisions, free of all duties whatever.
March 21, 1808. Augustus Ernoul, grand officer of the legion of honor, captain general of Guadalupe and its dependencies, and general in chief.
Francis Maria Perichou-Kerversau, general of brigade, member of the legion of honor, colonial prefect, and A. R. Constance, Bertolio, member of the legion of honor, commissary of justice:
Considering that the embargo existing in the United States, and the absolute prohibition of exportation of anything whatever from their ports under the flag of any nation, renders abortive any precaution hitherto taken for the provisioning of the colony.
As well that the rigor of these measures is a new proof of the faithfulness of this power to its former friendship with the French empire; of its attachment to the general interests of Europe which are likewise its own, as one of the great means of accelerating a maritime peace, by the impossibility which it presents to the common enemy of acquiring the means to continue the war; the redounding stroke falls not less severely on the colonies, by insulating them from their natural granary, and suddenly depriving them of the resources they were accustomed to receive thence for their subsistence.
That the great attachment to the mother country and the affection to the sacred person of H. I. and R. majesty which the inhabitants of this colony profess, give no doubt of their constancy and courage in supporting all the privations of momentary distress for so noble a cause, but, after the present state of things, the embargo being prolonged for several months, it becomes the duty of the magistracy, in order to alleviate the burthens to excite the generous desire for colonial commerce, by giving it all possible encouragement, and in directing with the means of which it is possessed, its exertions to procure a constant supply of articles of the first necessity.
That, to acquire this desirable end, notwithstanding the enormous extraordinary expenditures from the public treasury by

the advanced price of articles of consumption they hesitate not to make new sacrifices, by the exemption of all kinds of produce from any duties or restrictions whatever, which can tend to restrict its sales in the colony.  But as the extreme rigor of the blockade, by the English fleet, of the towns of Basseterre and Point Petre, renders all these measures useless, and the attempts to business, and will afford a new pledge to the colony of the constant anxiety and paternal regard manifested by the general administration, unceasingly, in promoting whatever may contribute to the advancement of the general good.  [Here follows 15 articles providing for the admission of provisions, and providing that they take away a return cargo of produce]

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20.
WASHINGTON, April 19.
Mr. Taggart presented petitions from sundry inhabitants of Connecticut, complaining of the embargo. Referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.  Mr. Clark from the committee appointed on the subject, reported a bill to authorise the Governor of New Orleans to fill up vacancies which may occur in the legislature of that territory. Referred to a committee of the whole on Thursday.  Mr. Rowan from the committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of Harry Innes, district judge of the U. S. for the district of Kentucky, made a report which coincides with a declaration that from the evidence collected, in the opinion of the committee, the said Harry Innes hath not so acted as to require the constitutional interposition of the house. Ordered to lie on the table.  The house went into committee of the whole on the bill concerning invalid pensions. The bill was agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.  The house went into committee of the whole, on the bill sent yesterday from the Senate, authorising the president to take the embargo under certain restrictions.  Mr. Randolph offered a substitute for the bill authorising the president to do so when he shall be officially notified of the repeal of the late orders and decrees of the French and British governments.  This amendment was supported by Messrs. Randolph and Key; and opposed by Messrs. Key and Holland. The amendment was lost.  The bill is not yet decided on. (6 o'clock.)
Richard Brent, Esq. is elected a Senator of the legislature of Virginia, for the district composed of the counties of Fairfax and Prince William—vice major John Hunter, resigned.  Gen. Thompson Mason and George Gray, Esq. are elected members of Assembly for the county of Fairfax—vice George Summers, Esq. and Dr. James H. Lee, who declined a re election.

AMONG the great civil characters who flourished during the revolution, no man stood higher and more deservedly so than GEORGE MASON, of Virginia.  He was distinguished for a sagacity in the discovery of man which approached close to penetration, and he was as distinguished for a penetrating power of mind which rendered him unintelligible at the court of Washington, a dislike to the reception of public men, even for individual service, over the payment of the expense accruing in the execution of public duty. This profound aversion to a conversation among his acquaintances at Arrel's tavern, in Alexandria, before the war, speaking of the hardly rising politicians of America, and eminently designated two, as most promising in his opinion—JOSIAH QUINCY, of Boston, and THOMAS JEFFERSON, of Virginia, the great philosopher (the only sort worthy of the name)—concluded by eulogizing, in his peculiar manner, the virtues, the talents, and the abilities of the man.  Look at the sect in power, and especially at the head of that sect, and you will find that the men of the nation have been considered by them as men in general view, and that they have lived from earliest manhood, continued to live on the nation,
and the patriotism of his two favorites: Quincy soon died, acting to the last hour the great part for which the venerable Mason had accredited him, and bequeathing to his posterity his unsullied fame in full bloom. Mr. Jefferson survived his eulogist, and is now in his eighth year of the chief magistracy of the United States. But before the death of the venerable Mason, he had been associated with Jefferson, Lee, and others appointed by the legislature of Virginia, to review the laws of the state, and to mould them to our new condition. Among the many whimsies suggested by Mr. Jefferson, was a law punishing the female for rape—a crime, from the days of Adam and Eve, believed to be peculiar to the male—Mason's strong mind indignantly revolted on perusal of this and other similar suggestions of Jefferson, and some time after told an acquaintance now living, that he found himself entirely mistaken in his first opinion of Mr. Jefferson, he discovered him to be full of the most idle theories, opinionative in a high degree, persevering in the furtherance of his own ideas, ignorant of human nature, and a little, very little man indeed!
What would the same penetrating statesman now say, was he a witness to the scenes passing in quick succession before us the last seven years. Those who recollect his character and manners will readily perceive. A.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Georgia, dated March 14, 1808.
"The embargo has had its effect on the citizens of Mobile and Pensacola. They are almost in a state of starvation—Corn is four dollars per bushel—bacon 50 cents per pound—hogs lard one dollar per quart—fowls nine dollars per dozen. What they will do by summer, if the embargo continues, I cannot say."
"A ship loaded with coffee, carrying 50 men and 24 guns, under American colors, has been taken by the Spaniards, and her cargo is now selling at Pensacola."
A Letter dated St. Lucar, Spain, Feb. 22, 1808, states that "Portugal is regularly proclaimed a province of France.—Three expresses arrived yesterday at Cadiz—Three large divisions of the French army are at Barcelona and within 12 leagues of Madrid.—This portends something more."
From the Federal Gazette.
We have been politely favored with a file of the Orleans Gazette to the 23d ult. inclusive; the following is the only article worth extracting:
NEW-ORLEANS, March 17.
A report has been in circulation since Tuesday, that the Spaniards are again advancing on our frontiers. Their force is stated at 500 regulars joined by the provincial militia. Yesterday report had them on the east side of the Sabine. The governor has, we learn, received a letter from judge Carr, of Natchitoches, stating the reports prevailing at that place; but we cannot learn that there are any facts ascertained to create alarm.
Extract from the Log book of the lugger Fair Trader, capt. Williams, arrived on Friday, at Charleston from Havana.
"Sailed from the island of St. Vincent on the 2d of February, bound for Wilmington, N. C. on the 7th near the island of St. Croix, experienced heavy gales from the northward; carried away the fore-top-mast which obliged us to endeavor to come thro' the Mona passage—on the 11th was captured by a French privateer, John Forrest, master, and proceeded to anchor on the west side of Beaty island; after two days detention, was liberated, after being plundered of one puncheon of rum—on the 14th near the island Navanza, was boarded by H. M. ship Arethusa and treated politely—on the 17th the Jardine island bearing N. 2 leagues, discovered a schooner standing for us: after nine hours chase, she came up under Spanish colors, and when within pistol shot, fired a volley of small arms at us, which fortunately done no damage excepting to the sails: the boat was ordered on board; capt Williams took his papers & four men and went on board; our boat was immediately manned with 10 hideous fellows who went on board the lugger, and began to search and rob and destroy the provisions; they then took 2 boys into the hold, and whipped them severely for not telling where money was hid; on the 19th they restored the vessel again, saying she was a good prize but that they did not want her; robbed all the clothes they could find; took 31 doubloons, 13 dollars and one light joe; they only left about 40 gallons of water, and not four days provisions; for which reason capt Williams was obliged to put into Havana, for supplies."
Capt Williams informs us of an American seamen named John Latimer, born in N. London, (Conn.) who is now confined a prisoner in the Moro, where he has
been about 13 months. This man was impressed by H. B. M. ship Monos, capt. Duff, and about the time alluded to was put on board a prize bound to Jamaica which was wrecked near Havanna; the Spaniards took him prisoner as an English man and the poor fellow has been immured ever since. We publish this in hopes it may meet the eye of some of his friends who may interest themselves for his delivery.
PRECIOUS CONFESSIONS. —On the passage of the army bill, Mr. Williams [s. c.] made the following observations to this effect: "We are about to raise this army of 6000 men, and by what means are we to support them? The pecuniary resources of our country are stopped—we are without revenue—without means—the present policy of our government has divested us of those means! I call on the gentlemen who compose the committee of ways and means, to inform us how, and from what current we are to maintain this army? Yes, sir, I challenge them to convince this house to demonstration, how with a treasury nearly exhausted, we are to feed & cloath such a body of men? You, sir, have on your table a bill nearly approaching a sedition law; an alien law is in embryo, "but is mother's milk is pricked, and I hope it will never arrive to maturity!" and now a standing army is to be raised! What will be the consequences of these measures, if they should go into operation? Let me presume, sir, persecutions, distress, individual misery; and what of all is most to be dreaded, feared and lamented, as inevitable, a National Bankruptcy! (North American.)
The speaker laid before the house the following letter from the sec'y of the treasury.
Treasury Department, } April 9, 1808. }
Sir, I have the honor to transmit a statement of the public debt on the first day of January, 1791—1807 respectively, together with sundry explanatory statements and notes prepared in pursuance of the resolution of the house of representatives of the 3d of January 1807.
The amount of the public debt of the U. S. unprovided for, on the days above mentioned respectively, and also the estimated amount of the said debt on the first day of January, 1808, together with the progress & decrease of the same during certain periods will appear from the following table.

During the first ten years of that period, the debt had increased near seven millions of dollars. It has been diminished more than seventeen millions during the last 7 years.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully sir, Your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN. The hon. the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

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 overlooks 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—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 cupola 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 500 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 show the premises and impart the terms of sale, upon applications by letters directed to the Post-Office, Alexandria.
