To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting to about 2700 acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

WHEREAS I have by a warrant from the general land office for the state of Virginia, located a piece or parcel of land, lying on the north side of Great Hunting Creek, and binding on the waters of said Creek, including the place commonly known by the name of Jones's Point, as well as other settlements on said Creek, above the said Jones's Point, which by a survey that was made on the 17th March last, by the surveyor of Fairfax county, for the state of Virginia, does clearly prove to have been waste or vacant and, that lay to the south of Robert Houson's tract (of 6000 acres) or in other words lay to the south of R. Houson's N. W. by W. line or course; which said 6000 acres of land was conveyed to Alexander or Alexanders many years ago. I therefore give public notice to all whom it may concern, that as the survey has been made for some time past and that I have compounded thereon agreeable to law made and provided in that case for the state of Virginia, I shall in a short time proceed to take & make use of all the said piece or parcel of land which has been surveyed & laid out to me agreeable to my warrant, unless it is proved that the above land was, or is not vacant.

From various journals and magazines in the United States, for the encouragement of the useful arts and sciences,
THE PUBLIC ARE PRESENTED WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF MR. MORNEVEC'S IMPENETRABLE STUCCO.
His Excellency JAMES MADISON, President of the United States of America, has granted letters patent to the Teuthonian Libraria Imprimere, Mr. Mornevec, for his discovery and devolepement in the art of quiescent affinity as to matters of composition.
(We, the undersigned, have been witnesses to the effect of a Stucco, or Cement, intended to be a covering to the roofs of houses, in order to avert the dreadful calamity of fire. The inventor has informed us that it is easily prepared, is cheap and durable; and as we have viewed an experiment made on it, as well by aquafortis, as by a coal of fire, neither of which seemed to have the complete power of destruction; we are therefore of opinion, that the same cement is a very useful invention.
Given under our hands at the city of Washington, this 28th day of February, 1809.
(Signed)
J. MARSHAL, BUSH. WASHINGTON, WM. JOHNSON, JUN. B. LIVINGSTON.
PATENT IMPENETRABLE STUCCO, OR CEMENT.
A substitute for slate, tiles or shingles, to cover roofs of houses & other buildings, &c.
Its color is of a dark and brilliant slate, which is the prevailing taste.
Should a house be on fire, and a brand from it lodged on the roof of an adjacent building covered with this stucco, the brand will not communicate fire to the roof.
There are a variety of valuable trees which are only used for ornament, as for example "the Lombardy Poplar," which cannot when worked up, withstand the changes of weather, and likewise "the gum," (which must always be confined to one element) "the willow," &c. &c. All these might, by the aid of this stucco, be a substitute in the building, where the oak, the pine, the cypress, the juniper, &c. are used.
The preparation of this composition may be made throughout the year in any town, and on every farm and plantation, & there-with cover any building, at the easy cost of one cent the square foot; but its application can only properly have effect when put on in serene weather, from the spring to the fall.
Those gentlemen who may be desirous of obtaining the privilege from the patentee for making and using the impetrable stucco for any town, country, district, state, plantation or farm, will be pleased to make application to the inventor, P. P. Baltimore, or to his agent H. Hiorr, esquire, attorney at law, in the city of Washington. Letters post paid will be attended to.
N. B. Printers throughout the United States of America, who possess the so much applauded amor patriæ, and who are the true admirers and disciples of Drs. Faust and Franklin, will give now and then an insertion of the above in their valuable publications.
The following appears to be the official accounts of the surrender of Vigo by the French to the joint forces of England and the Spanish Junta.
CAPITULATION
Of the town and forts of Vigo, occupied by the depot of the regiments forming part of the second corps of the French army in Spain.
This day the 27th of March, 1809, at 6 o'clock in the evening, we Jacques Antoine Chelot, chief d'escadron, governor & commandant of the French troops in the town and forts of Vigo, on one part, and James Courts Crawford, esq. captain of the British frigate the Venus, deputed by Geo. M'Kinley, esq. commanding officer before Vigo, and don Cadlo Murillo, colonel commandant of the Spanish troops before the town, on the other, have been concluded the articles of capitulation for the French garrison in the town and forts of Vigo, in the following terms, viz.
Art. 1. The garrison shall march out of the towns and forts with their arms and with baggage, and with the honors of war. Answer.

2. The officers and men shall be embarked in English vessels, and conveyed to the nearest French port, on parole, not to bear arms against Spain and her allies until exchanged, or until peace shall take place. Answer. The prisoners shall be conducted to an English port.
Art. 3. The officers and persons employed in the military shall keep their arms, and the whole of their equipages: they shall take with them their confidential attendants and servants. Answered in the first article.
Article 4. The money belonging to the French government, and destined for the payment of the troops of the 2d corps, shall remain in the hands of the principal paymaster, who is accountable for it. The papers relating to the account of the regiment shall be preserved. Answer. Public accounts shall be preserved.
Art. 5. The troops shall not lay down their arms till the moment of embarking, and then under the protection of the British, that is to say, that each division or section shall successively lay down their arms when respectively embarking. Answer. Answered in the first article.
Art. 6. The inhabitants of the town of Vigo shall be respected. Answer. Granted according to the laws of Spain.
Art. 7. The two hospitals containing about 800 sick, shall be taken care of by the inhabitants of the town, under the British and Spanish protection. Answer. The prisoners shall be treated as the laws of humanity require.
Art. 8. The place and forts shall only be delivered up at the moment of embarking to a number of blockading troops, consisting of three officers and fifty subalterns and soldiers. Answer. Referred to the first and last articles.
Art. 9. The present capitulation will only take effect when ratified on one part by M. Chalot, the governor, and on the other by the commandants of the blockading land and sea forces, and guaranteed in all its articles by the British commanding officer.
Done at Vigo, the day, month, and year as above mentioned.

From Porto
[Translated for the N. Y. Evening]
LISBON, May 13. Madam, near Oliveira de
Yesterday the first action was between a division of the combined army and the enemy, which terminated as expected. Marshal Wellesley and the Vonga on the 9th in the afternoon the English and the Portuguese came the same day encamped on the margin of the said river, with some of the army and the whole division of the governor Coimbra, colonel Trant. The division of major general Richard Stewart was in Mourisca, and that of major general Crauford in Agueda. At midnight all the divisions commenced their march, in the order: the cavalry commanded by major general Cotton; and the division of general Crauford composed of the 29th regiment, a battalion of English detachments, and another of the 16th Portuguese regiment, marched on the right, flanked by a squadron of the 7th Portuguese regiment, and on the left was a division of colonel Trant flanked by a battalion of the 4th and 10th Portuguese regiments.
At six in the morning we arrived at a large plain which is between the two villages. The English cavalry advanced in a column upon the French, which was drawn up to receive it. The French cavalry advanced towards the English and a volley, which the latter received with characteristic firmness, and immediately with such impetuosity upon the French that in less than half an hour they were routed and fled disorderly to the shelter of the pine trees.
There they were again attacked, and which purpose a corps was formed of the English cavalry, of Stewart's division, and Trant's Portuguese chasseurs. This corps, together with some English infantry, attacked the pines, and poured a very brisk fire, which was sustained some time by the French infantry; but the enemy were again obliged to give ground and retreated to Albergaria Nova, where they made no stay, because they were almost wholly surrounded by the English cavalry. The loss which they suffered in their retreat was considerable, occasioned principally by the English artillery and Portuguese pieces commanded by the lieutenant Gutierrez, who distinguished himself much in the action by the well directed and brisk fire which he kept up.
The French had scarcely entered Albergaria when they were attacked and driven out, the Portuguese Chasseurs being the first who entered the town. They behaved with the greatest valor, and deserved the praise of the whole English force who witnessed their handsome behavior. The French were put to the most disgraceful flight, and harassed by the English cavalry to the borders of the forest. There they rallied, and appeared to intend falling on Trant's division; but general Cotton, at the head of the English cavalry attacked them at full gallop, and assisted by the English horse artillery, put the enemy to a most precipitate flight. The English cavalry pursued them, accompanied by three pieces of artillery, and covered by Trant's division which made a forced march to join in the pursuit; and at the distance of half a league general Stewart's division marched. The enemy was pursued as far as Oliveira Alzemies, now the head quarters of general Wellesley, who always directed operations at the head of general Richard Stewart's division. We cannot at present state the loss of the enemy; but it was considerable. They had also many horses killed, and in Albergaria upwards of 300 killed, and a rich booty, the fruit of their defeat, fell into our hands. On the part of the combined army one soldier was killed, the 20th regiment of English light dragoons, four of the 14th regiment and one of the 17th regiment, and one Portuguese officer. Major Stanhope of the 16th light dragoons was wounded in the arm by a sword. All the different corps behaved with much bravery, and the academic corps particularly justified the high opinion which colonel Trant has expressed of it during the whole of the campaign.
In the Lisbon Gazette of the 9th May the following article translated from a Spanish paper.
Barbarous, bloody and horrible conduct of the French troops in Ucles, after the engagement with our troops on the 13th January last, in the vicinity of that town.

The engagement being ended, in which the inhabitants who were few and unarmed, took not the smallest part, the insolent enemy entered the town, and having taken possession of the squares, streets, convents and houses, commenced a most terrible sack, of which there is no example in history. By means of some diabolical torments, they discovered the most secret places, in which the inhabitants who knew and dreaded their barbarity had hidden their valuable effects. Being now possessed of those, they employed themselves in collecting the other articles which were in the houses, and loading with them the secular and regular priests, and other persons, on whom for that purpose they placed baskets and other implements for carriage; they compelled them to carry those articles barefooted to the heights of the Alcazar, where, making large fires of the furniture, they reduced every thing to ashes with savage shouts and exclamations. They then drove the bearers into town naked and beaten.
Their cruelty and barbarity not being satisfied by robbery and conflagration, they assembled 69 persons, among them 3 priests, 3 monks of the order of St. Jago, 3 Carmelite friars, 3 nuns of the same order and several women, and beheaded them with the most horrible inhumanity, some of them being executed (a thing unheard of!) at the public shambles.
And when it was to have been expected that the rapacity and fury of these savages being satisfied, they would retire to their camp, they began to collect from all parts the married and unmarried women and nuns that were in the town to the number of three hundred, and making use of methods of the most violent nature, hitherto unknown among the most barbarous nations, violated them notwithstanding their tears, entreaties and resistance. Their cries were drowned by the scandalous shouts of the infamous soldiery, who left those unfortunate creatures to expire with pain. In consequence of what they suffered, and of the efforts which they made to deliver themselves from this brutal insult, many of them afterwards died. Who after reading this lamentable relation, would not suppose that those wretches had filed up the measure of their wickedness! But no: like raging wolves they sought out (still more horrible!) children of both sexes of the age of 10 and 12 years and used towards them the same violence and the most cruel methods; a deed at which the mind shudders, which would make the very stones shed tears of blood.
Having satisfied their brutal desires and even imaginations, they began the sacrilegious outrages in the parochial church, and in the two convents, where they pulled down, insulted and dragged on the ground what is most venerable in our holy religion and divine worship, until night and fatigue put an end to their fury.
Nothing is exaggerated in this authentic relation, communicated by eye witnesses, who are ready to prove the facts, in legal form if necessary. One proof is the number and quality of the persons beheaded, who from their situations, property and connexions, are universally known in the province of Mancha, viz. the Señores Parada, Canovas and Mexia of the order of St. Jago, residing in the convent of that order at Ucles; the fathers Cyril, Marin and Bernardo, Carmelites; the priest Don Jose Ferrano; three nuns; the two apothecaries of the place, with persons of other classes not so well known to the number of 69 above mentioned.
These horrors cannot be extenuated by alleging the ignorance of the officers, for the greater part were present at and witnessed them: and not only authorised them but even selected for themselves the best of the spoil. May we not exclaim to all Europe, that the government of Paris, and in one of Madrid, who know of these crimes, and do not prevent them, are more sanguinary and cruel than the most ferocious conquerors of Asia.
Spaniards, if on reading this tragical account we are not filled with sacred fury against the implacable enemy, and hasten not to strengthen and augment our armies, we have neither religion, honor nor pride. Soldiers of countries assembled in the plains of Bory, let the fire of patriotism animate you to revenge such injuries and atrocities.
BALTIMORE, July 6. Arrived, schooner Forsaket, Cathell, 24 from Kingston, Jamaica. Left there ultimo, schooner Mercury, Smith, of New-Haven, brought in by a British cruiser expected would be condemned. She last from St. Eustatius; schooner Elizabeth, of Newburyport, carried in and burnt. Brig Sampson, of Saybrook, burnt, and two or three more, names unknown, waiting trial. The sch'r William Bezeat, of Baltimore, for St. Jago,
was taken by a French privateer, on the 23d May, off the island of Beati, carried into the island, and, after taking the most valuable part of her cargo out, and part of the sails and rigging, dismissed her; one of the William's men was taken on board the privateer, which was taken by a British brig of war and carried into Jamaica—he is now on board the Farsocket—he informs, that the schooner Caroline, Gushrie, of Norfolk, was taken a few days before the William, by the same privateer, and was retaken by a British sloop of war, and sent to Jamaica.
Also, brig Fair American, Hamilton, 22 days from Cayenne. Sailed on the 13th ult. Schooners Speedwell, Duvall, & Amazon, Silvester, sailed, the former on the 10th and the latter the 11th for Baltimore. Left there brig Trial, Kerotton, of and for Salem in 10 days; schooner Washington, Saybrooks, for New-York in fifteen days.—A few days previous to my leaving Cayenne the troops stationed there had revolted and wounded a number of persons in the streets; they made a peremptory demand of their wages from government, accompanied with a threat, if their demand were not complied with in 24 hours, they would fire upon the government house; which demand government were not able to meet, and dare not refuse, without laying a heavy tax on the merchants, which they were obliged to do; after which they had become more tranquil, but it was feared by many, that something serious would take place in a short time, as the privates had complete control over the officers.
Several American vessels had sailed from thence for Surinam and Demerara.
ST. LOUIS, (U. S.) June 7. Captain Pratt, who commanded the detachment of militia lately dispatched hence for the reinforcement of Fort Madison, arrived here on Monday evening last. The accounts of our Indian affairs in that quarter are pleasing to humanity. The Sacs, Souix, Foxes, &c. have had sufficient prudence and discernment in their anger to perceive the danger and destruction which one act of hostility on their part would bring upon them, and have accordingly buried the bloody tomahawk; and we believe so deeply buried it, under a sense of well-grounded fear, mingled with respect, that no apprehension need be entertained of its being ever again dug up for the purpose of imbruing it in the blood of Americans. The militia engaged on this duty have accomplished their object, and acquitted themselves with honor.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. MONDAY, JULY 10.
It is remarkable that on the late celebration of American Independence, the numerous and large meetings of American republicans uniformly made respectful and honorable mention of Mr. Madison; while the opposite party, the disciples of Jefferson, either passed his name in sullen silence, or uttered it with a coolness bordering on dislike. Mr. Madison should (as we sincerely believe he will) preserve the country from the miseries of war, there is little doubt of his incurring the obloquy and abuse of thousands of those who, from interested views, were most zealous in elevating him to his present station.
(Phil. Gaz.)
Extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated the 10th of April, to a gentleman in New York.
"Not long since, the American minister at Paris, Mr. Armstrong, advised the consul here, that the American vessels in France, not sequestered, had been placed at his disposal. It appears, however, that the decree of the emperor contains restrictions with which he was unacquainted, and now directs the consul not to comply with his former instructions. The faint hopes we had entertained of an adjustment of the differences between this country and America, are therefore again dissipated."
BOSTON, July 3. Latest from England.
We were yesterday politely favored with Halifax papers to the 20th ult. containing London dates to May 10. These papers contain the French official particulars of the battles between the armies of France and Austria, of which our previous intelligence from the north of Europe gave but the general result.
[Here follow the Bulletins.] The above accounts are taken from the French official bulletins. They are undoubtedly much exaggerated, as will appear by the following article under the London head of
May 10—but placing them in the most favorable light in which they can possibly be viewed, they must appear highly disastrous.
LONDON, May 10. It is with the utmost satisfaction that we announce to our readers the arrival of prince Stehremberg in town as ambassador from the court of Vienna. His highness arrived in London about 12 o'clock this day, and immediately had an interview with Mr. Canning. He came through Holland, and after escaping innumerable dangers, was picked up in a fishing boat by one of our cruisers. The intelligence which he has brought respecting the operations in Bavaria, we are happy to say, differ most materially from the accounts given in the French bulletins. He says, that the losses sustained by the French in the several actions, were quite as great as those of the Austrians, and that as late as the 28th the French were unable to advance, having suffered so severely. His highness is in high spirits, and by no means considers the advantages which the French obtained as decisive of the fate of the campaign.

RECOMMENDATION. THE Superintendant of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them. He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers may take it away. John Longden, Superintendant of Police. June 27.

FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avant, thou dreadful Minister of Hell. RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our mod- ern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis. June 7—21
