PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED, THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutiae of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 50-cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores.

ANSWER OF THE SENATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, TO THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
May it please your Excellency,
The Senate received with the high degree of attention and respect, which is ever due to the chief magistrate of Massachusetts, the communication which your excellency has been pleased to address to them, in common with the house of representatives, and which, from the very critical and momentous situation of our public affairs, is rendered peculiarly interesting at the present moment.
The Senate are happy to notice that the communication made to them, at this time, is to be considered as a communication made to their constituents at large. In governments to which they have an "incontestable and undeniable right to reform, alter, or totally change the form of government;" and in which public agents are at all times accountable to them, the people have a right to expect from their rulers, frequent, fair, and impartial statements of the situation of public affairs; in order that they may be enabled to intelligently and suitably to improve the important rights they have retained and secured to themselves by their public officers; and whenever such communication is unduly withheld, jealousies and suspicions are engendered, which, whether well or ill founded, unavoidably produce a disadvantageous effect on the public tranquility.
In an enlightened community, where the citizens can have but one common interest, if the means of information are opened to them, they are capable of duly estimating, and are the best judges of their own peculiar interests; and although no government can be effectively administered without a certain degree of reliance being reposed in those, to whom it has been confided, yet, while this position is admitted, in its limited extent, the people of this country will ever consider, that a blind confidence being given to, or required by any set of rulers, must be considered as more nearly resembling an attribute of despotism, than as the evidence of a free, pure and elective republic.
The embarrassments in our foreign relations, the infringements of our rights, and the violation of our national dignity, by other powers, and the restrictions on our commerce, are, all of them, subjects of the highest interest, and will receive that attention which their importance merits.
In the concerns of nations, as with those of individuals, equal and exact justice to all, a corresponding respect for ourselves, in requiring that from others which we are willing to accord to them, should be the rule of our conduct. In the present state of the world, it is however to be feared, that little is to be expected from appeals to reason, unless they are in some degree, supported by an ability to enforce them.
The great powers of Europe, engaged in a sanguinary and revengeful war, seem to consider the interests of all other nations as totally merged, the moment they come into competition with their views or objects; thus conducting, it is the duty of every nation having relations with them, to be prepared to rely on its resources for the support of its own rights: and the Senate of Massachusetts will rejoice to see the union placed in a state of defence, which, if occasion should unhappily require it, may enable the U.S. promptly and effectually to maintain with other nations, its equal rights; and to defend that independence so gloriously won, and which cannot but be considered by every friend of his country, and of rational freedom, as the ark of our political salvation.
The inhabitants of this state, from its earliest establishment, accustomed to resort to the ocean, as a source of profit and employment, and delighting in that commerce which returns the gold and luxuries of every nation for their raw materials, we cannot but consider an interdiction from it, by a permanent law of the U.S. as a great and serious calamity.
At the call of their country, in its hour of danger, the citizens of Massachusetts ever will be ready, cheerfully to offer up their lives and fortunes; but considering the principles of equality as the basis of the union, they cannot view but with serious apprehension, the interdiction, for an unlimited time, of nearly the whole commerce of the country; nor view, without regret, the novel, and as they believe, unconstitutional mode, in which a part of the coasting trade, still remaining, is alone permitted to be prosecuted.
Totally adverse as are all our habits and institutions, to the granting of special indulgencies in commerce, to individuals,
the Senate cannot but observe with concern the establishment of an inquisitorial tribunal in our country, to determine among our citizens, who are and who are not entitled to confidence; as they believe the most rigid observance of the laws might have been enforced more effectually by measures infinitely less offensive to the feelings, and repugnant to the rights of the people.
The frequent experience of older countries having demonstrated, that a mantle of plausibility may easily be thrown over the most dangerous innovations in government, it especially behoves the citizens of the U. States, and those to whom they have committed the guardianship of their rights, sedulously to watch that innovations, erroneous in principle, but in their early progress not immediately oppressive in practice, should not pass unnoticed, and be suffered by the accumulation of precedents, to attain the weight of prescription.
The Senate agree with your excellency, in the extreme danger of foreign alliances—that they should only be resorted to in cases of the most urgent necessity. A nation can alone be secure, when it can rely on the virtue, the patriotism, and strength of its own citizens; and it is to be lamented that in the present state of the world, a nation appears to be respected only in the proportion in which it is powerful. The events of the recent and present periods fully verify this truth—it is therefore with great satisfaction the Senate learn, from the communication of your excellency, that the government of the United States is raising forces for the protection of the union. We are fully sensible that for our internal defence, we must rely, under the favor of Heaven, upon the militia of the country, and the Senate are happy to believe that the militia of Massachusetts is inferior to that of no other state in the union. Too much attention cannot however be given to this important safeguard of our nation; it can alone be rendered sufficiently effective, by a high degree of discipline, and by engraving on the minds of the citizens, while on military duty, the habits and feelings of the soldier.—These can result only from the establishment of a due degree of obedience and subordination to their superiors in office, and a conviction on the minds of the latter, that in the legal and faithful discharge of their duty, however unpleasant some parts of it may occasionally be to them, they will, without danger of becoming the victims of party or of prejudice, receive the steady support and approbation of their country. A militia thus constituted, with a small, but well appointed army, for the protection of our commerce, would greatly add to the respect in which we are held by other nations, and might perhaps be the means of averting from us the calamities of war, with its destructive train of consequences.
Fully impressed with the inconveniences to which the citizens of this commonwealth are subjected, and feeling a most ardent wish to alleviate the present situation of their constituents, the Senate attend with great interest to the suggestion made by your excellency, relative to the propriety of enquiring, whether it is not within the power of the legislature of this state to ameliorate the condition of the people during the continuance of the embargo.
The Senate will be happy to unite with your excellency in every constitutional measure calculated to produce this desirable end—and as they understand measures of this kind have been adopted in other states it would have been gratifying to them to have known their success.
In periods of general distress, the necessity of a rigid economy in the public expenditures and a restriction in the compensation of public agents within those limits, which will command the ablest and most faithful services, is both obvious and indispensable. Should any further suggestions on this subject occur to your excellency, the senate will feel grateful for the communication of them, and they request you to be persuaded, that they will promptly and cordially unite with your excellency in this, as well as every other object, which may be calculated to alleviate the inconveniences, or promote the prosperity of their constituents, to support the state and general governments, in the due and equal exercise of their constitutional powers, and to defend against every invader, the rights and independence of their country.

FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
The following is a specimen of the freedom of opinion which certain democratical brawlers would allow to the good people of America, were their wishes accomplished.
"At that period, 1776, the man who dared to breathe a syllable of discontent against the Non-Importation, was branded as a tory, and held up to public scorn and detestation; he was considered as a Briton at heart, and unworthy of the name of an American. In the same light let us regard those insidious men, who are going through the country, laboring to spread discontent on account of the Embargo, and resentment towards the virtuous and profound administration which advised it.—Enquirer."
The Embargo is one of those measures which inevitably makes itself felt. It is a cloud which lowers over the whole country, scattering ruin as it goes. It therefore requires no insidious men to misrepresent it, in order to make it odious. The observations, which have been made by the Federalists, have been chiefly confined to the sinister motives in which it originated, the clandestine manner of its passing, and its inadequacy to the objects for which it was pretended to be devised. These opinions have been accompanied by facts and reasonings, which appeared incontrovertible, and so far as the future could verify or develop them, they have safely passed that touchstone. The orders of council have neither been revoked by Great Britain, nor the Milan nor Berlin decrees been repealed by France. Nay more, both those governments appear to support them with fresh obstinacy, derived from the impotence of our resistance, and an experimental proof of their power to withstand the counteracting means we have resorted to. We have, it is true, got all our floating property from abroad, except what Bonaparte detained as a security for our good behaviour. But is not the safe return of this property, a proof that the existing danger of hostilities did not warrant an Embargo.—Had there been any risk, it must have operated before now; but it is no where to be traced, except alone from that power, to answer whose view it was adopted as a co-operating measure. Suppose then we have safely received and stored our property, what is to be done next? Bonaparte requires a continued cessation of commercial intercourse with Great Britain until a peace. Shall we gratify him? From the complexion of some of the ministerial prints, we may infer, that our patience and submission are to be put to the trial also.
But supposing, that all this property has been really saved from destruction, when in fact it appears to have never been in danger; what have we paid for its safety? Much more than it is worth. We have paid for it with the loss of mercantile profit for six months—we have lost by it the articles of our produce which have perished and now are perishing; we have exchanged for it our seamen, who will never return.
In proportion, however, to the conviction with which every man, who respects his understanding, becomes penetrated, that the embargo has been an useless and destructive measure, is the peevishness of ministerial minions. They would wrest from us the liberty of thinking, under pain of being considered tories, and punished accordingly. This will not do, gentlemen! The public mind is not to be shackled, in order that it may not perceive your blunders and servility. You might indeed have partially influenced it at first, but your power is now dissolved; and reason and common sense have resumed their empire. The "profound" measures of the administration are meeting the general condemnation, which they merit. The only "resentment" that will follow, will be a withdrawing of confidence from their authors never to return.
LONDON May 6.
A French artillery officer of rank has lately written a letter from Dalmatia to a brother officer in the north of Germany, in which he assures the latter that the expedition against the British territories in the East Indies, will certainly go forward both on the part of the French and Russians, whose combined armies are to co-operate. Marmont is said to have the chief command. The French army, reinforced by troops from Dalmatia to Astracan, where it will be joined by the Russians.
Various plans of finance have lately been submitted to the consideration of government; but that which is said to have met with most approbation, and is likely to be adopted, is founded upon the principle of life annuities.
According to this plan, government will grant annuities to the amount of one million per annum, which are to be purchased in stock. The sum necessary for such purchase is estimated at 12 millions, to the full extent of which the public debt will of course be diminished. We do not, however pledge ourselves for the truth of this report. There is nothing new in this plan of granting annuities for lives; and it is subject, we fear, to this great objection—that the number of directors and clerks that will be found or deemed necessary for the conducting of it, will form a
considerable addition to the increased annual burden of one million.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
FRIDAY, JULY 1.
The following sneer at Mr Jefferson's "restrictive energies" is extracted from the Baltimore Whig, a democratic paper, of the 22d ult:—
"Little, fellow-citizens, little did you then think, that a proclamation would be for a year the ne plus ultra of vengeance; that your president, like an ancient herald, would advance to the coasts of the Atlantic, hurl his paper javelin in the teeth of our grand adversary, and then retire—Little did you, then, anticipate, that diplomatic farce could amuse for a year, after the tragedy of a day!—The one bears no proportion to the other. But our humiliation seems well adapted to the insult heaped upon us."
Vermont doings.—We are informed by a gentleman from Vermont, that Gov. Smith has given a permit to break open a store, in Orwell, and seize a quantity of Potash which he considers suspicious. Orwell is about one hundred miles from the Canada line.
Governor Smith has disbanded most of the militia that were marched on to the lines a few days since; and it appears that a detachment of regular troops from the army at Springfield are ordered on that station.
We have heard it stated frequently by gentlemen of respectability, that the greatest proportion of the evaders of the embargo law, are the warm friends of Jefferson, and in a conversation decidedly approve of the act. Some of them, after being arrested, even got appointed to some of the offices in the custom house.—Troy Gazette.
In consequence of the Embargo, the United States has suffered a loss, of FORTY EIGHT MILLION of dollars, which sum, at 17 dollars to the pound weight, would weigh two millions, eight hundred and twenty-three pounds weight; and it would require to carry it, one thousand two hundred and sixty waggons, allowing each waggon to carry one ton gross weight, and the distance each waggon would occupy, allowing each waggon 72 feet, would be seventeen miles—Forty-eight million of dollars placed edge to edge, in a straight line, would extend over a space of one thousand one hundred and thirty-four miles.
The above sum would be sufficient to furnish one hundred and twenty-eight sail of the line, completely furnished for a twelve months cruise.—Carlisle Herald.
A Proposal.—Since the power of raising the embargo is now vested in president Jefferson, it is proposed for the purpose of satisfying all parties, and preventing vexatious application to the president by petitions, memorials, &c, for the removal of the non-intercourse system, that he, by proclamation, give full and entire liberty to those opposed to the embargo, to send to sea their ships, vessels and goods, whenever, and wheresoever, they please; the said embargo opposers engaging not to trouble government with any complaints of misusage, or losses, they may experience from foreign powers in the commercial enterprises thus pursued. And further, to quiet the farmers who dislike embargoes, let it also be provided, that they have full liberty to sell their produce for whatever they can obtain therefor, as was the custom in the old aristocratick days of Geo Washington and John Adams. But, with respect to those who love embargo systems and non-importation laws, let it be further proclaimed that they, whether farmers or merchants, shall remain as they are, till they are amply satisfied with this "dignified retirement." Such a plan as this will certainly satisfy all parties, and shut the mouths of those who choose to "manage their affairs in their own way." (Tren on Federalist.)
DREADFUL TORNADO!
Extract of a letter from a friend in Jonesboro' Tenn. to the editor of the Statesman Eagle, dated June 1st. 1808.
"On Tuesday the 24th ult. the inhabitants of this town and neighborhood were astonished much at the appearance of leaves, small pieces of limbs, bark, &c, falling apparently from the clouds. The day was mild, except a breeze now and then from the south west with a few flying clouds, but no rain, nor was there the least appearance of any extraordinary commotion in the Heaven, to produce such a phenomenon in this quarter, every body conjectured it was the effects of a violent wind—but what distance from us, could not be imagined, as no noise was heard, it was generally supposed to be at a distance. Accounts from various quarters for more

has 40 miles around, state that the same appearance was observed.  Since writing this a gentleman passed through this place, who was an eye witness to an awful scene in the neighborhood of Knoxville, a Tornado struck the river Holston at that place, and threw columns of water out of the bed of the river higher than the surrounding trees, it was on the same day the leaves, &c. fell here, and up-wards of 100 miles distant; its ravages were very awful, it arose in Roan county, and proceeded in a south-east direction through Knox, Sevier, and part of Jefferson and Cocke counties, and struck the mountains near the Warm springs, in N. Carolina. Houses, barns, trees, and everything gave way to its irresistible fury. And out of many states, several lives were lost. It was accompanied with hail of extraordinary size. He also states that considerable quantities of fish were thrown out of the rivers over which it passed. A more particular and authentic account of the awful wind will no doubt be published—but to enable the mind to other wise conceive of its violence, I make this statement of the falling of the trees, &c. to a distance of 140 miles from where it happened, and within the space of perhaps less than two hours.
* Another letter says, some of the hailstones weighed 2 ounces, and measured 10 inches in circumference.
In addition to the above the following is copied from a Knoxville paper:  The storm on Tuesday the 24th May, has entirely destroyed the timber in its course. It commenced just below Clinch river, how far it extended is unknown, we have heard of it for a distance of 150 miles—its width is from a half to a mile, its bearing nearly due east. Not a house in its course but was unroofed, and by far the greatest number entirely thrown down; every tree of more than a foot through was either twisted off or torn up by the roots, and we have been informed that large trunks of trees which had been partly buried in the road were thrown from their beds to the distance of from twenty to thirty feet; large boughs were thrown to different parts of the country; six or eight miles from the scene of desolation, covered with ice. Very considerable damage was done to the farms through which it passed, the particular of which we have been unable to gather. Every assistance was rendered to the sufferers by the neighboring citizens in repairing buildings, mending fences, &c.
"Facts are stubborn things"—The following article, if carefully perused, will have no small tendency to dissipate the fog that has so long prevailed, and still prevails, in our political atmosphere, respecting England and France.
From the Lancaster Journal.  It appears from a late Norfolk paper, that in the course of the last four years, insurance to the amount of eleven millions of dollars were made by the Insurance Office in Norfolk, on vessels belonging to Virginia and on property exported from that state; and that the spoliations committed by all the belligerent powers, on the whole of the property thus insured, do not amount to two per cent. or one fiftieth part of its value.    The spoliations committed by the French amounted to  $ 183 912    And those committed by the Spaniards to  18 414    Making together  202 326    While the whole of the British spoliations, on the eleven millions worth of property thus insured at Norfolk, amounted to no more than  57,052     259,378  
But, of the French and Spanish captures, there was retaken by the British, and restored to the American owners, on paying of salvage, property to the amount of     49 077    Leaving, as the total loss by these spoliations,  210 301  
By this statement we have it in proof that if the amount of the property (part of the above eleven millions) captured by the French and Spaniards; and which was recaptured by the British and restored to the owners; be deducted from the amount of the same property captured, in the first instance, by the British; the whole loss sustained by the spoliations of the British, on the eleven millions, amounts to no more than     7 975  
Whereas the actual captures made by our good friends, the French and Spaniards, exceed in value more than twenty-five times that sum, viz.     202,326    Being in the whole, as above  210,301  
INDIAN HOSTILITY.
NATCHEZ, May 26: Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Owens to colonel Hugh Davis, dated Plaquemine, May 16.
"I have, since I left you, experienced very great b d y suffering, besides the loss of all the property I took with me. We were attacked on our route, at the mouth of the Cartaublae, by five Indians (Albamas,) who fired on us without the least provocation—Mr. M Clelland and my negro man were killed on the spot—After receiving several fires, Mr. Gerald and myself threw ourselves into the water, and swam to the opposite shore from the Indians—who kept up a constant fire upon us, and wounded Gerald in the left shoulder, while in the water. They pursued us in their canoes, and about a mile by land, when we escaped by again taking to the water. We travelled about 40 miles through a most miserable country, without any thing to subsist on, wading through bayous, and swamps infested with alligators; and tearing ourselves with the bushes and underwood. We arrived at Opelousas in about two days and an half, where I left Gerald and proceeded on to Judge King's, who immediately raised a party of 24 men, and set out in pursuit of the murderers. In the mean time we have taken into custody, a chief and two fellows of the same nation. I refer you to Mr. Cormier for further information."
Cure for the Hoven in Cattle
It happens frequently in spring and summer, after rainy weather, that cattle feeding on green clover, swell to an amazing size, and die in a short time. This disease is occasioned by a dilation in their stomach of the acid and mephitical gas contained in the clover. The cure is neutralization of that gas, and is effected by the means of alkali; which is universally used in France as follows: Dissolve an ounce of potash in a quart of water; take one tumbler full of that dissolution, mix it with a pint of water, and give it to the ox or cow at different times; it will cure them in one hour. One quart of strong ley given to an ox will cure him in three hours. Twelve or fifteen drops of alkali volatilized, mixed in a glass of water, are also a sure remedy.
N. B. One half of the above doses is sufficient for sheep.
From the Virginia Argus.
MR. PLEASANTS.  I have long thought of communicating to the public, a remedy for the cure of the Rot and S. ab in Sheep, which I have made use of with very great success. In the year 1806, my flock was so very indifferent that from ninety sheep I sheared only 130 weight of wool, so sorry as to be barely fit to make clothing for young negroes. Immediately after shearing, I made use of the following mixture:—Three gallons of Tar, and three do. of Train Oil, boiled together, to which was added three lbs. Roll Brimstone finely powdered and stirred in. This quantity was sufficient for the above number, and was poured on with a kitchen ladle, from the top of the head along the back bone to the tail. At the next shearing (in 1807) from 78 of the same sheep I sheared 360 lbs. of very good wool, and instead of 20 to 25 sorry lambs, commonly raised from my flock, I raised 55 as fine as ever I saw. Since this application I have frequently been asked by my neighbors where I got such fine sheep from. This remedy was taken from an old Eastern paper, which, I am sorry to say, I have lost or mislaid. It may be necessary to add, that I have continued to make use of this application with the same success, and that when train oil is difficult to be had, any kind of grease, such as is used for plantation leather will answer.  I am, sir, Your obedient servant, J NELSON. Mecklenburg 15th June 1808.
A person who had resided for some time on the coast of Africa, was asked if he thought it were possible to civilize the natives—"As a proof of the possibility of it," said he, "I have known some negroes that thought as little of a lie or an oath as any European."  Be singular if you please; but let it be in the elevation of your thoughts and the rectitude of your manners. He that can distinguish himself only by the abuse of others, is a despicable creature in every country.
When Colbert, prime minister of France, a man of consummate talents, demanded of a board of French merchants how he might promote their commercial interest, they made this short reply, "by letting us alone."
EXTRACTED FROM A LONDON PAPER.
WILLIAM and Jonathan came to town together; William brought learning, and Jonathan some leather; Said William to Jonathan, what d'ye mean to do? Said Jonathan to William, I can sole a shoe. Said Jonathan to William, pray what's your intention? William talk'd of things far above his comprehension; He meant to write poetry, pamphlets, songs and plays, Epitaphs, Epigrams, and puffs, the wind to raise. It chanc'd that they lodg'd in the same house together; Will stuck close to books, and Jonathan to leather; Johnny in the cellar as any hog grew fat, Will in the garret was as thin as a starv'd cat. When they had liv'd in town for years nearly twenty, Will was very poor, but Jonathan had plenty; When meeting one day, they compared notes together, And clearly prov'd that learning was'n half so good as leather.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME,  AN ADDRESS TO THE  PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING  AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU-  FACTURES: Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF  The Improvements in Sheep at Ar-  lington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large: BY GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq., of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare. Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to. Alex. 18th June, 1808.

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