PUBLIC AUCTION.
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 together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the courthouse. 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 sh, 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 shewn 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.

MORAL ESSAY.
ESSAY I.—ON ANGER, AND THE FORGIVENESS OF INJURIES.
AS the feelings and the consequences of ANGER are painful, and often dangerous, we ought, in our cooler moments, to fortify the mind, or mollify it, by habits of just reflection, so as to be less irritated by impressions of injury, and to be sooner pacified when we receive an insult.
To this end the following reflections may be useful:—The possibility of mistaking the motives from which the conduct that offends us may have proceeded; how often our own offences have been the mere effect of inadvertency, when they were construed by others into indications of malice, or of some design more or less culpable or contemptible; the inducement which may have prompted our adversary to act as he did, and how powerfully the same inducement may, at one time or other, have operated on ourselves; that perhaps he is suffering under contrition, which a false shame, or a want of opportunity prevents him from confessing; and how ungenerous it is to triumph, by coldness or insult, over a spirit already humbled in secret by the contrite workings of self reproach, a pang too frequently felt by the most generous and the most manly bosoms; that the returns of kindness are sweet, and that there is neither honor, nor virtue, nor use in resisting the kindly impulse; for 'tis piteous to think how some persons imagine themselves bound to cherish and keep alive their resentment, when they find it dying away of itself. We should remember that others have their passions, their prejudices, their favorite aims, their fears, their suspicions, their cautions, their interests, their sudden impulses, their varieties of apprehension, as well as we: recollect what hath sometimes passed in our own minds, when we have got on the wrong side of a quarrel, and imagine the same to be passing in our adversary's mind now;—when we became sensible of our misbehaviour, what palliations we perceived in it, and expected others to perceive; how we were affected with the kindness, and felt the superiority of a generous reception and a ready forgiveness; how persecution, on the other hand, revived our spirits with our enemy, and seemed to justify the conduct which we before blamed in ourselves. Add to these humane considerations others more immediately relating to our own worldly welfare; how anger, while it lasts, renders us the scorn or sport of all about us, of which it leaves us, when it ceases, sensible and ashamed; and how the envenomed and irreconcilable misconduct into which our irascibility has sometimes betrayed us, the friendship it has lost us, the distresses and embarrassments into which we have been involved by it, and the sore repentance which, on one account or other, it always costs us.
INTERESTING CIRCULAR.
LIVERPOOL, July 1, 1809.
Notwithstanding the heavy supplies which have been received during the last 3 weeks, our market has, in several instances, very perceptibly improved. This event is the more gratifying, in as much as it was unexpected, for the prevailing impression, at the first appearance of your vessels, was, that a further reduction would ensue, before any revival could be reasonably expected. The market was unquestionably very bare of American produce, and as the prices had fallen to a standard, comparatively low, the dealers and consumers were induced, from these circumstances, to purchase very freely. Sales, to a large extent, have, consequently, been effected, as many of the holders were, at the same time, anxious, by availing themselves of the existing disposition, to guard against that reverse, which the heavy supplies, daily expected, might be calculated to produce. This extensive demand, combined with a temporary suspension of any very considerable imports, appear to us the principal causes to which this favorable change may be ascribed. It is also deserving of attention, that, owing to the great number of ships now in port, and the consequent difficulties in discharging, much of the produce which has arrived, is not yet actually in the market. Hence it is supposed by some, that the improvement which we have noticed will not be permanent, and that, as soon as the dealers have acquired a tolerable supply, the present demand will in some degree naturally subside, while the imports continue unrestrained. On the other hand, it may be expected that the arrivals will hereafter come forward in a more regular succession, and although, in a given period, the aggregate of the supplies may be
nearly equal, yet, the effects of a lating stock, from being less received, will, it is hoped, be perceived. Much, however, at all other times, on the existing between the demand and supply, of which the progress alone, can enable us to form a mate.
The long suspension of interest your country depriving us of the supply of cotton, and at the same time diminishing the demand for our manufactures, has serious hardships upon those recently in a fair way to be removed. These evils being in a fair way to be removed, and both spinners and manufacturers prosecuting their respective with spirit and activity, under the tion that the prospects for the article will gradually improve. In consequence, been a brisk the raw material, chiefly by trade. The speculators, it have bought very little, conceiving ces would still be lower, they were pared to expect so early an advance course of the last three weeks, 22,000 bags have been sold, of may be about 12300 bags of Amer tons. The total quantity imported parts into this place since the 10th been about 52,000 bags, of which bags are from the U. S. The tons are principally the objects of altho' the fine descriptions are demand. Good Uplands readily and one very superior parcel 15 1-2d. New Orleans, according to, are selling at 1s 4d a 1s 5d Islands, middling fine, 1s 10d a very fine 2s 1d a 2s 2d per lb. to the future prospects, there are opinions, but it may be expected demand will be regular and extend the prices continue moderate. hend, however, that the heavy which are constantly coming from zils, and the anxiety with which occasionally, pressed upon the man interfere with the sale, and cons precipitate the sale of certain kinds ands. It may also be worthy of that many of our manufacturers, a regular trade with the U. S. our that our relations are still unsu lieving that your market is largely have concluded to ship very caut cil affairs are in a state more cald inspire confidence.
The demand for tar has lately been considerable, and, as the prices are now bought largely; it may be quoted at a barrel. Should our regular supplies Sweden suffer any interruption, ports of Russia continue shut against can scarcely be expected that the which is produced in America, qual to our usual consumption. C ting on these circumstances, the are, upon the whole, very favorable stocks of turpentine being almost exhausted, the distillers are under necessity of coming into the market very ly, and from the competition which naturally excited, the prices have been rially advanced; the good soft qual now worth 19 a 20s per cwt. For time past, large supplies of French turpentine have been imported through medium of Holland, into the Lond ket; the quality, we believe, may to the produce of about 18,000 barrels, will doubtless militate against the dem which we might have otherwise-expe from that quarter. About the begin the year, spirits of turpentine sold as 23/ a 30/; prices so extravagant tempting, could scarcely fail to prod supply, in opposition to all restrictive sures; as this inducement is removed, by the article having fallen 2/5s per cwt. the imports, it may be ed, will naturally decrease.
The fine quality of rice are bought freely by the grocers at 24s a 26s per It cannot, however, be supposed, export demand is suspended, that nal consumption alone will be adeq that abundant supply which has come from the U. S.
The demand for flour is regular tensive; some parcels from Baltimore been sold as low as 43s. 6d. New and Philadelphia obtain, generally, 47s. per barrel. Wheat is extremely the prices of American may be, 12s. 6d. a 13s. per 70lb. So long can be bought, comparatively lower, will, of course, be neglected. Both articles, for two months past, have regularly on the decline. When the d ency in the wheat crop of 1808 is ed, and at the same time our total ex

from all foreign supplies, the depression is surprising, in as much as it was unexpected. The alarm, which the prospect of immense arrivals from America has excited, is, perhaps, the only explanation which can be given of the fact. But since it has acquired more importance, in the public estimation, than the case seems to justify, we shall endeavor to place the matter in a clearer light; the quantity of wheat imported into this place, since the 10th instant is about 66,000 bushels, besides 59,000 barrels of flour, being, in the aggregate equal to about 302,000 bushels of wheat. Although to some, who take Liverpool only into consideration, these imports may appear heavy, yet, if a more comprehensive view be taken of the subject, we shall find, that, compared with the consumption of the kingdom, they lose much of that consequence with which they have been invested. To make this still more evident, let us suppose that our population is about 9,000,000, and, estimating the average consumption of each individual at eight bushels, annually, the total quantity imported here would scarcely furnish two days subsistence. The effects then, it is obvious, rest almost entirely on idea, and not any real or relative magnitude; but, however evident this may be, it is insufficient to obviate the effects of that opinion, which has taken possession of the public, of the extent or continuance of which we can form no calculation. As so much now depends on the state of the weather, our future prices will be governed more by this than by any other circumstance.
Ashes have been very much depressed. The best Pots were sold as low as 41s 42s, and Pearls at 49s a 50s per cwt. Although the market is rather improving, the buyers will scarcely venture to purchase extensively, until they can ascertain with more accuracy, the supplies which are expected from Canada, and the quantity which may yet be imported from the U. S.
Very few of the tobaccos, which are just arrived, are yet discharged; but should they prove of good quality, which is extremely scarce, the manufacturers seem disposed to purchase freely at the present prices. James River 2 1-2d a 7d—Potomac 2 1-2d a 5 1-2d—Rappahannock 2d a 4 1-2d—and Stemmed 6 1-4d a 8d per lb.
The season for sowing flax seed being now closed, those parcels which have lately arrived, or which are still to come forward, must of course be used for crushing. About 1200 casks have accordingly, been sold to the manufacturers at 11s 6d a 12s per Winchester bushel.
The arrivals of staves have been considerable; but as they were extremely scarce in all parts of the country, the demand has been extensive and uncommonly brisk; the prices, particularly of barrel, have rapidly advanced, and New York white oak are now worth 16/ 10s a 17/; Philadelphia have been sold at 17/ 10s, and higher prices are still asked. Hogsheds may be quoted at 25/ a 26/, according to the quality; and pipe at 27/ a 33/ per M.
Timber have been for a long time very much wanted, several cargoes recently arrived, have been bought as soon as they were landed, and the demand continues regular and extensive. We believe that the orders which have been received from the country dealers only, would be sufficient to take off all the common pine, which has yet been imported, provided contracts could be made at 3s per foot, which is the extent of their present limits. The market is, however, considerably higher, and Massachusetts pine may be quoted at 3s 2d a 3s 4d, and pitch pine 4s a 4s 3d—Oak logs 4s a 4s 3d—Hardwood 2s 4d a 3s 9d per foot—Pine plank 5 1-2d a 6d per foot of two inches thick, and boards 3 1-2d a 4d per foot of one inch thick.
The decree which prohibited the importation of colonial goods from Holland into France, being rescinded, has, in conjunction with the present state of affairs in Germany, given rise to various surmises, and encouraged a few of our merchants and manufacturers to hope that, by the removal of some of the existing difficulties, a communication with the continent through the medium of Heligoland, would be rendered less hazardous; however distant and slender the prospect may be, it has operated rather in favor of cotton and tobacco. But as the future rests almost entirely on present grounds, we may reasonably suppose that the exporters will wish to see their calculations which may finally close in disappointment and loss; a termination which, in similar cases, has been but too frequent.
We annex an account of the principal articles imported here from America since the 10th ult. and also of the total imports of same kinds of produce in the year, which we hope may be interesting,
as it will afford you the means of judging what proportion the supplies of the former bear to those of the latter period.
We are, respectfully, Your assured friends, WM. & RICH. RATHBONE. 4th July, 1809.
P. S. Since addressing you on the 1st instant, we have received a copy of the act, consolidating the duties of customs.
Cottons are rather lower—higher prices are asked for good ashes, but very few of that description have yet arrived—in other articles there is very little alteration.

The editors of the Federal Gazette are indebted to the politeness of a mercantile friend for the following extract:
Salem Aug. 21, 1809.
Yesterday arrived at Beverly, the brig Ann 55 days from Gottenburg. She has a cargo of two hundred tons iron, which appears to be the only article of Russian import we shall receive, for it is said that no vessel will go up to Russia. She reports twenty-six sail captured by Danish gun-boats; that two or three condemnations had been made on very frivolous pretences; that the Danes would respect all vessels having either the Danish or French consuls certificate, and suffer them to proceed—reports eighty vessels at St. Petersburg seized under American colors by the Russians, being vessels from England; that only one vessel of all those at Gottenburg, had or would attempt to go up; did not know her fate.”
SALEM, August 22.
From Gottenburg.
Captain Haskell, of the brig Ann, arrived at Beverly, on Sunday from Gottenburg, which place he left the 28th June. He informs us, that they had certain advices there that the emperor Alexander had arrived at Konigsberg on a visit to the king of Prussia, where he had been a number of days. It was considered very uncertain what part Russia would take in the present war—whether to join Bonaparte or the Austrians. Many reports were heard of insurrections in Germany, but they could not understand of what magnitude or importance.
Bonaparte had drawn away his French troops from Hamburg and Lubeck, and sent 15,000 Danish troops to garrison those places. The exigencies of his war with Austria no doubt required this.
The reign of the new king of Sweden was very popular, as the people had become tired of the passion of the deposed king for war. It was said that peace was to be settled between Russia and Sweden, and all Swedish ports was to be shut against England; and Norway was to be detached from Denmark, and annexed to Sweden; commercial speculations were going on, arising out of this change.
Burr had left Gottenburg, and was said to be gone to Russia.
Gen. Armstrong—On the 4th of August capt. Haskell was boarded from his Britannic majesty's brig Herald, from St Thomas's being in company with 2 frigates, and 10 sail of merchant vessels under convoy. He was informed, in the first place by the boat-
men who carried him on the Herald, and afterward by the capt. that the day before, they had spoke a ship belonging and bound to Philadelphia, 18 days out from Nantz, having the lady and children of Gen. Armstrong on board; and that gen. had gone from France to England. The former part of this may be true; the latter is doubtful. The Philadelphia ship must have left Nantz about the 16th of July, a week later than the accounts by the Mentor, when it was said a negotiation was commencing with Gen. Armstrong.
NEW-YORK, August 24.
Latest News from Spain.
Yesterday arrived at this port, the brig Fame, Barronachs, from Cadiz, which place he left the 15th July.
Captain B. informs us that 3 or 4 days previous to his sailing, advices reached Cadiz, that general Blake had been defeated in Galicia, by the French, with the loss of 2000 men; and that general Blake had broke and dismissed from his service, 100 of his officers.
It was also reported at Cadiz, that king Joseph was marching against Seville, at the head of 40,000 men.
Admiral Purvis, with three sail of the line and several frigates was in Cadiz bay.
Saragossa, it appears from our Spanish papers, has been retaken by the patriots.
A letter from Cadiz mentions that the new Spanish ambassador extraordinary was to sail from that port in the frigate Cornelia for New York, about the 25th of July.
Markets were very dull at Cadiz for American produce.
Captain B. has furnished us with Cadiz paper to July 11, and the Seville Gazette of the 7th, from which the following translations have been made.
From the Seville Gazette of July 7th.
At a meeting of the Supreme Junta of Spain, in order to consolidate and bring nearer the relations of friendship which exist between Spain and the United States of America, in a manner suitable to the reciprocal interests of both powers, it was considered necessary to employ for that purpose a person enjoying the highest confidence, of known merit and distinguished patriotism, and his majesty has accordingly thought proper to appoint Don Louis de Onis Y Gonzales , one of the oldest and most respectable members of the department of state, who possesses all the above mentioned qualities, and who is shortly to go to the United States in the character of minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary, for the purpose of fulfilling that important commission.
Grain and pulse, imported from foreign countries, are for the present free from duty.
MANRESA, June 21.
RETAKING OF SARAGOSSA.
Yesterday at 9 in the afternoon we received the pleasing and positive accounts of the capture of Saragossa by our arms. Who would believe that a place taken after a siege of 62 days by a numerous army of invincibles could be wrested from their invulnerable clutches by a small Spanish army, composed of raw and inexperienced troops?
SEVILLE, July 10.
Conclusion of the advices from Madrid.
We know positively that in a council extraordinary, which had been summoned on the 14th of June, between 12 and 1 o'clock at night, to meet next morning at 6, violent debates were held about abandoning king Joseph in Madrid. The latter, Negrato, the Marquis de Almenara and several other persons were for leaving the city immediately; but owing to the great exertions of Bellaird, O'Farel, and some others, their departure was suspended. Bellaird supported his arguments with saying that the emperor had conquered Madrid, that he was charged with its preservation and defence, and that the most that could happen to him was to be taken prisoner; that the troops of the emperor would not abandon Madrid without first defending it; and that if his majesty king Joseph wished to leave the court, he might do it with his guards, &c. Post horses and coaches had been prepared but owing to this opposition, every thing had been suspended.
August 25.
One day later from England.
The arrival of the British packet Lady Pellew, captain Harvey, from Falmouth, via Halifax, has put the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser in possession of Falmouth papers of July 10th, London papers of the 8th and Lloyd's Lists of the 7th. They furnish no later intelligence from the continent of Europe than we had previously received.
The governor of Nova Scotia, issued a proclamation on the 15th inst. notifying that the order in council, which permitted the importation of certain enumerated articles into the North American British colonies from the U. S. until the 25th March, 1809, had ceased; at the same time commanding all ships and vessels owned by the subjects of the U. S. in the ports of Halifax or Shelburne, forthwith to depart the same. And all persons are forbidden to import into the said ports any of the articles enumerated in the said orders in council, in any ship or vessel belonging to the subjects of the U. S. after the 15th day of Sept. on pain of forfeiting the vessel and cargo.
He has also published another proclamation, bearing the same date, authorising and empowering British subjects, for the space of six months from the date thereof, to import and bring into the province from the U. S. in British built ships or vessels owned & navigated according to law, scantling, plank, staves, heading, boards, shingles, hoops, or squared timber of any sort, horses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, or live stock of any sort, bread, biscuit, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, or grain of any sort.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, than fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
