CAUTION!
WHEREAS I have good reason to believe, that some persons have been dealing with the Scavengers for street manure; such practice, whilst the superintendence over both it, and them, is with me, shall not (if in my power to prevent it) be permitted; Therefore, it is hereby declared, that in future every or any person, discovered, who may in any manner bargain or deal with those people for that article, will subject me to the disagreeable task of prosecution, which may be unpleasant in the result to all of us.
I have further to caution all those persons who are in the habit of collecting and taking away manure from the streets, without previously contracting for it, that if they persevere in it, the same consequences may possibly ensue to them. Particular attention will in future be given, to the street in the neighborhood of Dovey Dauphins , where too many liberties of the kind have frequently been taken; and if repeated, probably may not longer pass with impunity.

VICTORY OVER THE FRENCH. BATTLE OF KREMS.
BRUNN, November 15.
Our court gazette of this day contains the following remarkable official supplement:
Occurrences of the War.
His majesty the emperor and king, on the 14th inst. received a courier from gen. count Kutosow, commander in chief of the Russian troops, who brings the pleasing intelligence of a complete victory obtained between Stein and Weisskirchen, near Krems, over the division of the enemy commanded by marshal Mortier. The following is the circumstantial account drawn up and transmitted from the field of battle:
On the 9th of Nov. the Russian army passed the Danube; the rear guard was closely pressed by the enemy at Mautern, and the general who commanded it resolved to pass in the night between the 9th and 10th to the left bank of the Danube, and burn down the bridge, which was the more necessary, as he had certain intelligence that the enemy had restored the bridge at Lintz, and already passed a division to that side of the Danube.
In the afternoon of the 10th, the enemy approached the advanced posts near Diernstein, and by his superiority of force drove them back along the Danube from Weisskirchen to Stein, and it was with difficulty that, when night came on, the army could maintain itself in the heights of Stein.
It was then resolved to attack the enemy in the morning, in three columns, and to cut off if possible, his retreat to Wiesskirchen, where he had collected a number of boats.
The happiest consequences were the fruits of this brave undertaking, which was conducted with equal prudence and courage. The enemy was defeated, and the whole of his division, which could not save themselves on board some boats, were killed or made prisoners.
The number of the slain could not be determined with any accuracy; but the prisoners were as follows: The chief of brigade Grain d'Orge, 1 colonel, 1 lieutenant colonel, 36 inferior officers, and 2000 men, among whom was the 4th regiment of dragoons.
Five pieces of cannon were taken; Marshal Mortier, who commanded the division of the enemy, is missing, and is supposed to be killed.
The loss of Russian troops is in proportion inconsiderable; it consists principally of wounded, among which are a general and several officers.
But this brilliant and victorious day cost the life of an excellent man: Field marshal lieutenant Schmidt, who had been attached to the Russian army as quarter master general, died the death of a hero, after having, as gen. Kutosow remarked with much emotion, greatly contributed to the victory, by attacking the enemy in flank and rear; the loss of this officer, who had been in the service 40 years, and obtained distinguished glory in the last war will be deeply felt by the sovereign, the Austrian army, and those capable of estimating the value of his exalted merit—his name is his monument.
For five or six days past no intelligence had been received of general Meerfeldt; it is now known that he retired with 12,000 men to the mountains of Lower Austria, probably with a view to retreat to Styria or Hungary. He has done the latter; and, after suffering some loss, taken the road to Baden.
The archduke Charles has made a masterly retreat, after having left a strong garrison in Venice. He has conducted his army to Leybach, and is drawing towards Hungary.
DONAU, Nov. 19.
On the 12th the French entered Vienna and have already taken possession of the suburbs, with 20,000 men, and the city itself, with 5000. They have made an extraordinary requisition of wine and cloaths and have required rations for forty thousand men.
HAMBURG, Nov. 26.
The Imperial court is removed to Brunn, at which place a Court Gazette has been published, giving an account of a second victory obtained by the Russians, under general Kutosow, in which 6000 French were killed, and 4000 surrendered by capitulation. The Russians took 6 standards of colors, 4 pieces of cannon, and 36
officers. General Mortier is among the killed.
LONDON, December 4.
The accounts received from the continent are of a more favorable nature than we had reason to suppose from the reports of the last week, founded upon the fraudulent misrepresentations of the enemy. It is true the French army has entered Vienna, but no separate peace is signed, or even thought of; nor has the gallant Charles perished, a victim either to chagrin or fatigue. We believe he lives still to avenge the injuries of his house, and of Europe, upon the enemies of mankind. The following intelligence has been received by government:
The Austrian general prince Aversperg, who was charged with the destruction of the bridges at Vienna, was deceived by information from the French general Murat, who calls himself a prince (but who here showed an infamous disregard of all prince's qualities) that preliminaries of peace had been signed by the two powers. This treachery prevented the destruction of the bridges, and the French corps passed without opposition.
General Kutosow, continued a successful retreat to Olmutz, in which the Russians completely acted up to their reputation. There was hard and continual fighting, particularly at Krems, where a corps of 10,000 French were entirely defeated, losing 6000 in killed and wounded, a general, and 1000 prisoners, with some cannon; a piece of gallantry which instantly conferred upon Kutosow the order of Maria Theresa. In the course of the retreat also prince Bragation showed himself worthy of his master Suwarow. He was surrounded, and cut off with a corps of 5000 men, by an immense superiority of numbers, but cut his way through them all, and effected a junction with gen. Kutosow, bringing with him 50 prisoners, (among whom a colonel) and two standards. The Russians then concentrated their force at Olmutz, where Kutosow was joined by general Buxhoven, at the head of about 36,000 men, and the archduke Constantine, with 11,000 more, were daily expected. A general battle was looked for, on which much will depend. Both the emperors of Germany and Russia were at Olmutz.
With respect to the Austrians in Italy, the accounts are not detailed, but the language in which they are couched at least looks well. The army is described as in high spirits, flushed with success, and adoring their Prince. What the success is we are to learn, but the young count Woronzow writes from the army of general Tolstoi, that the news is good from Italy. The archduke's army was at Leybach, or Corroylo, in full march towards Vienna, and notwithstanding the French accounts, not only unconquered, but probably conquerors, certainly unbroken.
Dispatches were yesterday received at Lord Mulgrave's office from Lord Harrowby, at Berlin, & from the court, which has removed from Vienna to Brunn. The former gives an account of the favorable reception experienced by his lordship from the Prussian monarch and his ministers; and the latter contains the particulars of the signal victory obtained by the Russians over the French, a confirmation of the conjunction of the Russian armies, & the near approach of a third; they also give the particulars of the capture of Vienna by the enemy on the 12th inst. but from the immense number of the allied forces now collected in that direction, there is every probability of the army being immediately forced to evacuate the Austrian capital.
The Earl of Harrington set out last night for the continent, upon a military mission to the Imperial Austrian Court, which has, ere this, removed from Brunn to Cracow.
December 5.
Yesterday a variety of private letters reached town from different parts. That from our own correspondent at Brunn, given in a subsequent column, and those from the British army in the North of Germany, will be found not uninteresting. We have, besides, received letters from Malta, which confirm our former statement of a Russian army of 24,000 men having sailed from Corfu on the 17th of October, with this addition, that they were accompanied by the British troops under the orders of General sir James Craig, and that the whole had arrived safe at Venice. The reports from the North of Germany, relative to the military operations, are also of a very favorable nature. We have already stated, that the French general Baraguay D'Hilliers, who had advanced into Bohemia, found himself under the necessity of hastily re-crossing the Danube, to avoid being cut off by the Austrians. Some private accounts report, that this corps has
been surrounded by a division of the combined Army, and a great part of it cut to pieces. Be this as it may, the general prospect certainly begins to brighten, and abundant rays of hope now present themselves to our view. The Prussian and Hessian troops have probably, ere this, advanced against the enemy, and the third Russian Army is supposed to have arrived at the scene of action about the 28th ult. The first division of this army, under the immediate command of the celebrated Michelson, passed through Warsaw on the 2d of November; on the 19th it arrived at Dresden, about 500 miles distant from Warsaw; and the remainder were to pass through Dresden, in succession, on the following days. Dresden is about 200 miles from the head-quarters of General Kutosow; so that this third Russian army, consisting of about 100,000 men, must have joined the two former about the time above mentioned. If, therefore, the general action which was expected, should not have taken place before that period, the Russian armies alone would be adequate to the overthrow of the enemy, as they would amount to little short of 200,000 men. We impatiently wait for further accounts of the situation of the hostile armies, with the fond hope that the victory of the Russians at Krems, has been the pleasing prelude to events the most important, at once beneficial and glorious to the cause of the Allies. Bonaparte, according to the last accounts, was himself in danger of being attacked in a situation where his retreat might be nearly cut off, and though the fortune of war may extricate him from his serious perils, probability is obviously in favor of a different result. There appears a spirit, a courage, and a determination amongst the allies, which we must ultimately think, be successful; whilst it is evident, that if Bonaparte sustains one signal defeat, at the immense distance from France, at which he has placed himself, it must be followed by nearly the utter ruin of his army.
Attempt upon the Emperor Alexander.
We yesterday announced that Lord Harrowby, had been way-laid on his journey to Berlin. We have now to state a still more daring outrage, which remained to be attempted, to shew the world the true black character of the unprincipled Corsican. It was conceived to be of importance to prevent or defeat that union of views and operations, which might be expected to result from the personal conference between the two young monarchs of Russia and Prussia, and a plan was in consequence formed by the French to get the person of the Emperor of Russia into their power.
The following particulars respecting this transaction are given in a letter from Hamburg, of the 26th ult.
"A most daring outrage against the laws of nations and the customs of civilized Europe, was lately attempted but most providentially frustrated. In this hellish plot the Elector of Bavaria, whose hypocrisy towards the emperor of Germany would alone have been sufficient to hand down his name with infamy to posterity, was to have been a principal agent. A free passage for a body of thirty Bavarian soldiers through the territory of Gotha, was asked and granted, but only a few hours before they were to have arrived; the Duke received certain information that they were French regicides in disguise, & that their errand was to seize the person of the Emperor of Russia. Not a moment was lost by the prince to defeat the object of these desperadoes; the permission for their passage through his territories was immediately revoked and orders given to prevent from that moment with the greatest vigilance every attempt that might be made to invade the mandate. The facts which I have stated I received from such high and indisputable authority, that I can vouch for their authenticity. It is to be hoped that the detection of this and similar atrocious violations of the received usage of nations, will induce a proper circumspection in every quarter. A more than common vigilance is necessary against an enemy who can have recourse to such diabolical machinations.
"TEN AT NIGHT.—The Swedish troops who returned over the Elb, are still in Lauenburg. The Russians have orders to march with the utmost speed and broke up on the 23d, from Luneburgh to the Weser. General Don and general Tolstoi are gone to the Duke of Brunswick, at Hildesheim. General Dumourier is landed from England. Mr. Garlike is arrived at Hamburg."
December 6.
Yesterday being appointed a day for a general fast and thanksgiving, for the signal victory obtained by the fleet under the command of the ever to be lamented Lord Nelson, was observed with becoming solemnity by all religious sects in the capital, and, no doubt throughout the country. Most of the volunteer corps assembled, and went to church in military attire and military order.
The multitude of citizens attending church was immense, those of the higher rank generally dressed in black, in respect to that man, to whom, under God, the nation is so much indebted for his glorious success.
December 9.
Accounts from sir James Craig of the 3d ult. state, that he continued at Malta. Several transports sailed on the 9th and 10th of Oct. for Corfu, and it was said they were to convey to that island 17,000 Russians; that a further body of 10,000 were to follow on board the Russian squadron; and that these troops in conjunction with the troops under sir James Craig's orders, were to land in the Lucca, or Genoese country to act on the flank of Massena's army. Should such have been the plan, the late events in Germany and Italy must have deranged it.
December 10.
Lord Cathcart, who is certainly to have the chief command of the British troops in the north of Germany, left town yesterday. He will be followed by the duke of Cambridge in the course of the week. The departure of his royal highness, who is to take the field at the head of the Hanoverian legion, is only postponed in consequence of the incomplete state of his camp equipage. Lieutenant-general Francis Dundas is to command the infantry under lord Cathcart, and major-generals Mackenzie, Frazer, sir Arthur Wellesley, Shetbroke, and Hill, are to have the commands of brigades.
The Paris papers to the 26th ultimo, contain intelligence from the Rhine to the 24th from which it appears that no great military movements, had occurred after Bonaparte's entry into the city of Vienna. The French papers say, that the archduke John had been defeated by the division under Ney, at the foot of Mount Brenner, & that the victorious army had afterwards crossed the mountain to join Bernadotte in the neighborhood of Vallach. We doubt whether any considerable victory has been gained in that quarter. No fresh news from Massena. We have reason to think, that the archduke Charles has been able to make good his retreat without any serious check. In that case, he would have come in aid of his Imperial brother in the Tyrol, and presented to the divisions of Angerau, Ney, and Bernadotte, an opposition capable of bearing down and overwhelming them. Wolfskchl's corps has effected a passage through the enemy into Bohemia, in separate bodies with the exception of a few divisions, which have been obliged to fall back towards the Tyrol.
London, Dec. 11.
We have already stated that a decisive action was lately expected to take place between the French and the combined Austrian and Russian armies. Accounts received yesterday from Flushing via Dover, state that the expected battle has been fought, and that Bonaparte has been defeated and Vienna retaken. Truly happy shall we be to be able to confirm that statement; but as it adds that Bonaparte was killed, we are not without some apprehensions that it is only the revival of the rumour to that effect, which obtained circulation a few days ago.
We observed some days ago that Bonaparte had failed in his grand object to intimidate the Emperor of Austria into a separate peace. He has still failed, and his irritation at his failure is evinced in all his bulletins: they are filled with the most jacobinical trash, with the most paltry and ridiculous invectives. These are particularly directed, as they have been all along against the Russians.
We desire no more clear and convincing proofs that he is afraid of the Russian troops, and the skilful generals by whom they are commanded. His irritation shows his disappointment, and evinces his fear of those whom he grossly abuses.
There are some other bulletins in the French papers which arrived yesterday but they are not of any material consequence. There is a seventh bulletin from the army of Italy, by which it clearly appears, that Massena was wholly unable to take advantage of the masterly retreat of the archduke Charles. We now find that Bernadotte was, on the 12th of last month, manoeuvring on the left bank of the Danube; the archduke Charles, therefor, in his march to Vienna, if such was his intention, would have only to contend with the division of Marmont, posted at Lintz.

in Syria, whom he might easily over- come. To sum up all, no fresh misfortune has occurred to darken the horizon of the con- tinent, and tho' we are far from offering to our readers any favorable view of things, any consoling hope, we shall believe that, if Prussia has declared against the tyrant of the continent, we may reckon that Europe will be saved. The intelligence from the Russian army via Hamburg is the latest. It appears, that prince Pangration performed a most gallant exploit on the 18th ult. when, being sur- rounded by prince Murat's army of 30,000 men, he heroically cut his way through with his small division of 5000 men, and marshal Soule is stated to have been killed. The Russian head quarters were on the 23d at Wischaw, between Ulm and Brünn, waiting for reinforcements. They shortly intended to advance, when a decisive ac- tion was expected. It also appears, that Baraguay D'Hilliers, who had advanced to Pilsen, was soon forced to retreat by the Arch Duke Ferdinand, who has driven him out of Bohemia, and pushed his ad- vanced posts into the Upper Palatinate. Count Hawgwitz is said to have arrived at this place of destination. That his Prussi- an majesty received a letter of great im- portance from the emperor of Russia, and that the march of the former sovereign, with the garrison of Berlin, for the army, was expected to take place immediately.
Albany Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15.
Senate United States. Feb. 12. 1806. Mr. SMITH, of Maryland, submitted the fol- lowing resolution, which was read, and or- dered to lie for consideration. Resolved, That from and after the — day of — next, it shall not be lawful to import into the United States, on board any foreign ship, any goods, wares, or merchandise, other than such as are of the growth, produce, or ma- nufacture of the nation to which such foreign ship shall belong, except on board the ships of such foreign nations who admit the importation into their ports of goods, although they are not the growth, produce, or manufacture of the United States, in the ships or vessels of the U. States. Mr. Adams, agreeably to notice, yester- day asked and obtained leave to present a bill, which among other provisions authorizes the President of the United States in case of being disrespect- fully treated by any foreign minister, to order him to withdraw from the seat of government or from the the United States, and in case such min- ister within — does not so withdraw, authorizing the President to cause him to be sent home.
On Wednesday, the Senate took up the report of the committee to whom was referred that part of the President's message that relates to the ag- gressions of Britain. The first resolution, which is as follows, was adopted nemine contradicente . 1. Resolved, That the capture and condem- nation, under the orders of the British government, and adjudication of their courts of admiralty, of American vessels and their cargoes, on the pretex of their being employed in a trade with the enemies of Great Britain, prohibited in time of peace as an unprovoked aggression on the pro- perty of the citizens of these United States, a violation of their neutral rights, and an encroach- ment upon their national independence. On the second resolution which is as follows: 2. Resolved, That the president of the United States be requested to demand and insist upon the restoration of the property of their citizens, cap- tured and condemned on the pretext of its being employed in a trade with the enemies of Great Britain, prohibited in time of peace; and upon the indemnification of such American citizens, for their losses and damages sustained by these captures and condemnations; and to enter into such arrangements with the British government, on this and all other differences subsisting between the two nations, (and particularly respecting the impressment of American seamen,) as may be con- sistent with the honor and interests of the United States; and manifest their earnest desire to obtain for themselves and their citizens by amicable ne- gotiation, that justice to which they are intitled —some conversation arose, relative to the details. To the principle, contained in the resolution, no opposition was made. The Senate adjourned at the usual hour without coming to any decision.

POSTSCRIPT. Just as this paper was going to press the Editor was politely favoured with a Baltimore paper containing the following Important Foreign Intelligence, Received at N. York, by the brig Han- nah, from Liverpool.
LONDON, Dec. 18. In our paper of yesterday we announced the arrival of dispatches from sir Arthur Paget, the British ambassador to the em- peror of Germany, containing accounts of a general engagement between the French and the allied army; and also accounts from other quarters relating to the same af- fair. In the afternoon the following official notice was circulated:
BULLETIN. "Government received last night ac- counts, dated at Olmutz, the 3d, by which it appears that a general battle took place on the 2d between the French and Austrian Russian armies at Wischau. The centre of the latter seems to have met with great resistance, and to have been repulsed; but the left wing of the enemy were defeated with considerable loss by the right wing of the allies under the command of the prin- ces Lichtenstein and Pangration. The emperor Alexander commanded his troops in person and displayed the utmost bravery. The conflict seems to have been of the most obstinate kind, and to have been sustained by the allies in the most exem- plary manner. The loss of the French was immense. The messenger who bro't this intelligence left Olmutz 24 hours after the battle, and relates that, at that time the losses of the enemy were reported to be much more considerable than those of the allies who still maintained their position at Wischau."
"Accounts have been this day received at the admiralty which left Hamburg 2 days later than the Messenger who arrived from Sir A. Paget. These accounts states, that several skirmishes took place between the Allied Armies and the French, from the 29th November to the 2nd inst. when they came to a general action, in which the French lost 27,000 men and all their artil- lery. That the French retreated; that Bonaparte was wounded; that he had proposed an armistice, which was reject- ed. "That the Prussians, to the amount of 140,000 men, were in motion. That the king of Prussia had himself taken the com- mand of one army, and the duke of Bruns- wick of another."
The accounts that have been made public, though deficient in detail, confirm this important fact, that the allies remain- ed masters of the field of battle. The centre of the allied army was defeated but so was the left wing of the enemy. Even a drawn battle may under the pre- sent circumstances of the contending armies be considered as a victory obtained by the allies; for a few such battles would entire- ly ruin the French army.
The emperor Alexander was missing for about six hours during the action, and no little ap- hension was entertained for his safety. He was at length found fighting among that part of the troops which in the end was worsted by the French centre. It was with much difficulty he was persuaded to retire to a quarter where he would be exposed to less personal danger.
The accounts received at the Admiralty were transmitted by Admiral Holloway, who stated that a lieutenant of the Ada- mant was on shore at Cuxhaven on Satur- day last, where accounts had been received from Hamburg two days later than the time Mr. Kay the messenger, passed thro' that city, stating that the battle had been entirely in favor of the allies, that Bona- parte had been severely wounded in the right arm, and it was thought would be o- bligated to suffer amputation. The com- mander of the Piercer gun vessel, arrived from the Elms, gives an account of what he had heard similar to the above. All accounts however agree that the battle was fought on both sides with the greatest ob- stinacy, and chiefly with the bayonets.— The Russians expended little ammu- nition. The carnage was immense.
The number of our allies is stated at se- venty thousand; though the accounts of the numbers, in letters from various parts of Moravia, before the battle, say they were 90,000. The number of Bonaparte's army is stated at 80,000; and some reports say that nearly 27,000 fell on each side while others make that of the allies only 15,000.
It is probable that this battle would soon be followed by another, and it may fairly be infer- red from the French attempting nothing for two days, that they had suffered very severely, and
were not in a condition to risk a fresh attack.— That there would be another dreadful engage- ment before Bonaparte was subdued is manifest. We may be allowed, however, to indulge the most sanguine hope of success. The Prussians may be now expected to be soon at the field of action. When Mr. Kay passed through Berlin, news of this battle had been received there. A council of the State had been held, and the Prus- sian army, 140,000 strong, had actually begun its march into Bohemia.
From all that is yet known of the battle of the second, it is probable that the French, as well as the Allies, will claim the victory. Indeed we think they have already done so, for no other cir- cumstance can we find be certain rejoicing took place in Holland within these two days.
A gentleman who left Camphere on Tuesday last, states "that great rejoicings had taken place there in consequence of a victory gained by the French in Germany; but although he enquired the particulars of the success from several persons, no one could give him an account: the French commandant could not tell, or at least ap- peared to be ignorant what was the cause of the rejoic- ing."
Letters from France of a late date received last night, also state that Bonaparte claims a decided victory in the battle of the 2d instant. His bul- letin lays, that the Russians were defeated with immense slaughter, and that 6000 prisoners, and 15 pieces of cannon, fell into the hands of the French. Bonaparte's retreat is represented as temporary, for the purpose of concentrating his forces, who are acknowledged in these letters to have suffered considerably; three French generals are said to have been killed six wounded and three missing. The Russians are allowed to have fought with great courage and intrepidity, and the emperor Alexander is stated to have had two horses killed under him in the action. Bonaparte is said to have been slightly wounded, and to have had one horse killed under him, and two Aides de Camp killed by his side. The private letters also state, that the country people broke down all the bridges to prevent or impede the re- treat of the French, who in return, had laid waste the country for several leagues around. A col- umn of 16,000 Russians is stated, in the same accounts to have joined the Grand Army on the 5th instant; a fact which, in the present situation of affairs, must be deemed of considerable im- portance.
It is said says the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser, that Poland is in a state of insurrection, the people will to embrace the opportunity of the present disordered situation of the affairs of Europe, to regain their in- dependence and restore the monarchy, on which business General Kosulko and several Polish officers have re- paired to the French head quarters.
The Elector of Bavaria is about to assume the title of King, under the guarantee of France, and is to have his territory augmented at the expense of the house of Austria.
The states of Hungary it is also said were disposed to elect a king of their own nation, and to conclude a treaty with France offensive and defensive.
Olmutz was reported to have surrendered to the Em- peror Napoleon, who made himself master of the whole of Moravia. The Emperor of Germany the depriv- ed of his territories has no asylum but in Russia.

Passengers in the Hannah state that news had reach- ed Liverpool, that the battle was renewed on the 4th Dec. and that on the evening of the 5th the French re- treated back of Schwatz—That the whole loss on both sides was supposed to be 50,000 men, and that Bona- parte would have been taken prisoner, had he not been surrounded by his Garde de Corps who saved him at the sacrifice of most of their lives.

Valuable Lands and Negroes, FOR SALE.
THE Subscriber desirous of disposing of his distant property, so as to bring his affairs more within his reach and management, offers for sale the following lands and negroes, at prices so reduced as to claim the attention of persons wishing to invest money in such property, viz.
CHATHAM, that elegant and highly improved farm on the banks of the Rappahannock River, lying opposite the town of Fredericksburg, containing about eleven hundred acres, four hundred of which are in wood, and valuable timber, the rest in cultivation, and pleasure grounds. The land in tillage is level, a considerable part of it has been highly manured, and the whole of it is adapted to the culture of grass, small grain, and Indian corn, as the crop now growing will test. The house and offices are of brick, and on a large and handsome scale, with a garden in front containing four acres, laid off with taste and well planted with the choicest fruit trees, now in full bearing, and ornamented with forest trees and shrubs of almost every description.
There is on the estate adjoining the river, a grist-mill built of free stone, containing the modern machinery and two pair of stones, one of them French Burrs. It commands a large country custom, is well situated for merchant business, and is rented for five hundred dollars per annum exclusive of all the grain of the farm hopper free, which is equal to three hundred dollars more. There are all necessary out houses, for either convenience or luxury, such as ice-house, spring-house, barn, stable, offices, &c. &c. With all these advantages and expensive improvements, this property is offered at a price which the lands alone ought to command. There are also some valuable fisheries, and quarries of free stone on this estate.
Also, a tract of land generally called Clark's, about two miles below Chatham, on the north bank of the Rappahannock river, and within view of the town of Fredericksburg, containing upwards of four hundred acres. About one hundred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahannock river bottom in cultivation, and is well adapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the residue is in wood, surrounding a height, which furnishes a beautiful site for building.
Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, adjoining Stafford court house, containing upwards of twelve hundred acres. This is good farming land, and has several tenants on it.
Also, a tract of land in Westmoreland and Richmond counties, containing upwards of two thousand acres, on which there are also several tenants. These two last mentioned tracts of land will be sold in small tenements, or in entire tracts, as may best suit the wishes of purchasers.
Also, a tract of land called Boyd's Hole, containing about one hundred and fifty acres, on the banks of the Potomac, in King George county, on which there are a comfortable dwelling house, store and tobacco inspection ware house. Few situations combine more advantages, it being an excellent stand for a store, ferry and tavern, the two first of which are at present kept there. The houses have lately been put in good repair, and the buildings alone will rent for three hundred dollars a year. The land is good in quality, and the situation abounds in fish, oysters and wild fowl.
Also, a valuable site for a Mill, with 50 acres of Land adjoining, in King George county, and not far distant from the last mentioned tract. There has been a mill here for many years which has lately gone to decay, the dam is substantial and entire, and the situation for a country mill not equalled in that neighborhood, commanding a very extensive custom; the land is covered with cedar, which alone renders it very valuable.
Also, several Lots and Houses in the town of Fredericksburg.
Likewise, about two hundred and thirty NEGROES, of different ages, sizes and description. A sale of them by families will be preferred; to effect this they will be offered at a reduced price. As a part of these Negroes are at present attached to the Chatham estate, the purchaser of that property may be accommodated with any number of them, as well as stock of every description.
Bank Stock of any of the Banks in Virginia, Maryland, or the district of Columbia, will be received in payment for any part of this property at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber unable to attend to property so distant, is anxious to convert it into stock.
He will also rent a number of FARMS on his Ravensworth estate, containing from 2 to 400 acres each, on encouraging terms, to good farmers. They lay from eight to ten miles distant from Alexandria, George Town, and the City of Washington, and convenient to the turnpike road now building from Alexandria to the upper country.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Cowlin, at Port Tobacco.
