Twenty-five Dollars Reward.
READ AWAY, sometime in the months of No- vember or December last, A NEGRO MAN by the name of SAM, who was hired in the town of Alexan- dria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight, of rather a yellowish or tan- ny complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice, and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at Col. Jem- merson's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland. If he is taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give Thirty  Dollars reward.

From the Norfolk Ledger.
WE have copied into our paper most of the resolutions which have been adopted by the meetings in various parts of the country; these, as well as others which have been omitted, all breathe one sentiment, although some are expressed with more ardor than others. The question at issue is well understood, and the whole nation, with one voice, has declared that the right of searching a national ship cannot be submitted to. It would, therefore, seem that the explanation from the British government, may be very easily made. That government must either avow the right and sustain the officer who gave orders for the search of the Chesapeake, or it must disclaim the principle and punish the officer; in the former case, we have nothing more to do, but to prepare for action; in the latter case the nations may yet remain in peace, which is certainly the interest of both. The course which the executive is pursuing, corresponds with the sentiment, which we believe is almost general, that peace is most desirable, if it can be maintained on honorable grounds. The same course was pursued in 1794, when general Washington was president, and with the same result that we are now to contend with; the same course was pursued by Mr. Adams, in respect to France, although not in the first instance with the same success. Such repeated instances of moderation and justice, ought, and must convince the world, that war is not desirable with the people of America, at the same time the world must know, that our love of peace does not originate in motives of pusillanimity, but in a just and accurate conception of what is our interest. The people of a government which may be justly denominated a government of the people, can have no inducements to war, when it is not necessary to defend their honor, and to protect their rights. The proclamation of the president we would sincerely wish to see respected and made the rule of conduct for all. To give our full co-operation to the measures of the executive, we should abstain from any act of violence or injury, that might increase the animosity which the occasion has so justly excited.
The proclamation of the president, among other circumstances, is remarkable for its dignified moderation. No harsh reflection is made on the British nation, the president disclaims a belief that the government of that country will justify an act so atrocious. In this way an appeal is made to the faith and honor of the British nation at large, as well as their government, and we may add to the whole world. It is, we think, impossible for any reflecting person not to approve of the conduct of the president in this particular. It would have been as absurd as hypocritical for the executive to have sought reparation by negotiation, and at the same time to have loaded the nation and government with reproaches and obloquy, that would not be submitted to, however wrong the original act might have been.
The president's proclamation contains an honorable and dignified appeal to the people as well as to the government of England. Nothing could have been more judicious: it will we doubt not induce a powerful movement in the people of England, who, with a voice that cannot be resisted, will insist on the government rendering us justice; but should we be mistaken, and the ministers of England resolve on war, the advantages of a party in our favor in England, must be well appreciated by those who remember our revolutionary war. Our fathers addressed the whole British nation in terms so impressive, that a powerful party was created in our favor, and it has been much questioned whether our battles were better contended on the American plains, or in St. Stephen's chapel.
There may be some who imagine that the voice of the people is wholly disregarded in England; than which there is nothing less true; among other instances we would cite the force of public sentiment, in obliging the king and ministers to acknowledge our country independent. The party formed originally in our favor, seized every occasion which was presented by ill success in the course of the war, to demonstrate its impolicy, finally that party triumphed, and peace was the result.
If the British government should sanction the conduct of admiral Berkeley, or refuse to punish him, war must be the consequence, and surely no nation could ever go to war on more honorable and just grounds than ours will. It depends very much on ourselves, to determine the
sentiment with which that war shall be prosecuted against us. From motives of interest there must and will be a powerful party in England opposed to a war with America, and who, if it takes place, will seize every occasion to terminate it, provided that we on our parts do not make demands which the honor, and perhaps the existence of that country cannot comply with. There is a material distinction between a war undertaken in defence of our own honor and independence, and that which is undertaken for the purpose of destroying another nation; of the former character we hope will be every war in which America shall engage. With justice and honor then, arranged on our side, our enemy must respect us, the more so when interest aid the sentiments of respect. Among those who we are to account as our advocates, are the great and formidable manufacturing interest, all the merchants engaged in American commerce, the West India merchants and planters, and a portion of the prudent and liberal of all classes of men. We ask then is it policy in us to deprive ourselves of such aids? Surely not.
With sentiments such as we have expressed, we have thought that the invective with which the whole British nation has been loaded by many of the public meetings and some of the public prints, was neither just as applied to the whole nation, or wise on our part. If the sentiments expressed by the meetings and in the papers we allude to, be taken as the public sense of America, the conclusion will be that it is not the particular outrage committed on our flag, and the impressment of our seamen that have excited our resentment; but that those circumstances are seized to express our general sentiments of hostility and abhorrence. The people of a nation who are stigmatized with the epithets of pirates, murderers, assassins, &c. must have long been the objects of detestation, and as such ought to be extirpated. Viewing the subject in this light, instead of our making friends to our cause in England, we actually invite the whole nation to rise in arms against us. Molliter in modo, fmiter in re. Intemperate abuse, violence and invective, cannot aid a bad cause, they may injure a good one. That there are assassins, pirates, &c. of the British nation, we have too many abundant proofs to doubt, but that they are a nation of barbarians, robbers, &c. our cooler judgment denies. It is not for those to whom these terms of reproach and invective are applied that we feel, but we feel for the dignity of our national character. The duties of an editor of a newspaper necessarily cause him to peruse the papers of his own and those of other countries, by which he acquires a more accurate knowledge of the style in which those of his own country and foreign journals are conducted, than any other class of citizens in the community.
The French journals rarely contain any gross abuse of the English nation, though they examine its policy with the utmost severity of criticism. There are a few of the English papers, that deal out much coarse abuse on the French nation, and particularly on its present chief, but they are not classed among the respectable papers. Can our oblige us to confess that the American newspapers are unrivalled in asperity. Cobett , who we are sorry to acknowledge was patronized by Federalists, carried personal invective beyond any extent before known; he left us, but his pernicious example remained behind; he attempted the same plan in his own country, and contempt and insignificance, as an editor, were the rewards of his efforts. After this digression, we return to our subject—By a calm and dignified course, let us command the respect of the world, including the nation we may contend with; in a few words, let our maxim be MOLLITER IN MODO, SED FORTITER IN RE.
A more apt, and (to our feelings) a more acceptable illustration of what we have advanced, does not offer, than that which is presented by the conduct of the citizens of Norfolk, on the late occasion. By a happy union of firmness and moderation, the citizens of this place have acquired the approbation and respect of all parts of the Union—The same conduct will always be productive of the same effect.
LONDON, June 1.
Spain, Portugal, &c.—The mails from Gibraltar to the 25th ult. have arrived. The contents of the Spanish papers are important upon two points: the incipient dissatisfaction of the two courts of Spain and Lisbon—and the conduct of the Spanish admiralty towards the American ships. Upon the first point, the Madrid Gazette contains a long official article, in which it inveighs against the unnatural conduct of Portugal, in encouraging the settlement of pirates on the coast of Plata.
That unhappy extreme of the world, where the Catholic faith has hitherto flourished pure and unsullied. The English have now got footing in South America. Henceforward the happiness of the natives is gone. They must become pirates under their new masters. What does Portugal intend by such policy? Will Brazil re-
main a Portuguese colony when Chili and Paraguay shall be torn from Spain? Will the feeble and tottering Regency of Portugal command respect from a nation which tramples on its neighbors in proportion to their weakness? No—Brazil will soon follow the fate of La Plata: and like other unfortunate nations, Portugal will become wise, when she has reached the effects of her folly. The naval predominance of England must be subdued, or there will be no safety for nations. England, impotent by land, is all powerful by sea. Is Portugal blind that she cannot see those topmasts which look down upon the bay of Lisbon, and from which England at once defies and insults the world."
The letters and papers brought by the Prince of Wales packet, capt. Todd, in 12 days from Lisbon, have been delivered at the post office. It appears by their concurrent testimony, that the preparations on every part of the Spanish frontier have excited a very lively alarm in the court of Lisbon; and that even mercantile credit had begun to suffer from the general apprehension of an immediate invasion. The court of Madrid is stated to have already made extravagant demands on that of Lisbon, affecting to have conceived great disgust at the assistance given by the latter to the English squadrons in the Plata. The Lisbon papers begin to speak very indignantly of the conduct of the government of Spain. One of them demands with great reason what Spain could expect from the ruin of Portugal? Is it for the interest of France, that Spain, strengthened by the union of Portugal, should rise to an equality, or at least nearer to an equality with the French empire? Or is it not rather the interest of France that the contests of Spain and Portugal should so exhaust the strength of both, as to render them an easy spoil to their stronger and wiser neighbor? The Prince of Peace will do well to consider this. The present season is very critical; an error may be committed in a moment which an age would not repair.
PHILADELPHIA, August 6.
By the Mary captain M'Cutcheon, we have received New Orleans papers and letters to the 14th of July. They contain nothing interesting.
The duel between Mr. Clark and Gov. Claiborne, which resulted in the latter being wounded, was occasioned by the governor's calling on Mr. Clark for an explanation of certain expressions made by him in congress, on the subject of the militia of that territory. Mr. Clark avowed and repeated the expressions, which produced a challenge from the governor. The governor proposed that the meeting should take place in a month's time, but that not suiting Mr. Clark's arrangements, it was had on the Saturday following, at a place called Manchac, and resulted as we have already stated.
A considerable sensation was excited at New Orleans by the following transaction. An officer of one of the gun boats, observing a planter chastising a negro wench in rather a severe manner, landed with a party, forcibly rescued the slave from her master, and committed other acts of violence on his property. The planters who are opulent and respectable men, in a body were so incensed that they threatened destruction to the offender. A committee consisting of the honorable D. Clark, M. Bore, &c. was appointed on their behalf to bring the officer to justice.
New Orleans was healthy at the time of the Mary's sailing.
Passengers in the brig Mary—Charles Evans, J. M. Pintard, Jacob Trimble, J. P. Sanderson, John Mowry, Geo. Morgan, jun. Darby Haslet, Andre Gandolle, and several in the steerage.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, August 8.
By the ship Pallas, Evert, which arrived last Evening in 42 days from Liverpool, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a London paper of the 20th June, and a Liverpool paper of the 15th, (16 days later than our former London advices)
Captain E. left Liverpool on the 27th June but did not bring any papers later than the 20th nor any verbal news from the French and Russian armies.
The following are the only articles of moment our papers contain:
LONDON, June 20.
The first division of the expedition sailed yesterday morning from the Downs for Stralsund. It consisted of the 6th, 7th, and 8th regiments of infantry of the German Legion. The division that has sailed
is under the command of gen. Drecksel. A second embarkation will take place in a day or two.
We have extracted from the foreign papers some interesting intelligence relating to the movements of the Servian and Turkish armies. The affairs of the former are not quite so desperate as they are represented in the Moniteur. The situation of Michelson, and the Russians, we are in hopes, will prove not to be worse than that of their allies. The retreat from the Danube was absolutely necessary on his part. The principal Turkish army instead of proceeding to attack him, marched towards Ishmail, which was far in the rear of one of his wings. Had they reached that point, the safety of the whole of Michelson's corps would have been endangered.
Admiral sir Thomas Duckworth attended, yesterday, at the admiralty, and had a long conference with the lords.
The marquis of Huntly does not go with the grand expedition: that gallant nobleman is now appointed on the staff of the army in the Mediterranean, in the room of major general Wauchope, who fell in Egypt. Captain Johnston, of the 42 regiment, we hear, is to go as his lordships aid de-camp.
St. Petersburg, May 9.
The Gazette of this city contains a list of 128 officers who were killed at the battle of Eylau. It also gives the names of 15 officers who died of their wounds.
General Luschoow has been appointed to the command of the corps which was under the orders of general Essen, who is indisposed.

TUESDAY, August 11.
HERMAN BLANNERHASSET.
This person is in confinement, in the Penitentiary in this city—he was apprehended at Lexington in Kentucky: and the following facts are communicated:
Mr. D. Meade of that state, was summoned to the trial of Col. Burr as a witness. He was in this city, when the grand jury found an indictment against Mr. B.—Mr. Meade gave information to Judge Todd, who issued a warrant upon Mr. Meade's affidavit—Mr. Meade was then appointed deputy marshal of the state, and conducted Mr. Blannerhasset to this place under a guard. They arrived in this city on Tuesday last, and B. was immediately conveyed to the penitentiary by the marshal of Virginia, under a capias for trial.
[Richmond paper.]
Major Israel Smith, of Cayuga county, one of the persons indicted for treason by the Richmond grand jury, has been taken on a warrant from judge Talmadge, and has arrived in Albany, in custody of the deputy marshal, on his way to Richmond. We are informed and we mention the cir-

circumstance as honorable to major Smith, that immediately on being informed that a bill had been found against him, he wrote to the president and Mr. Hay, the attorney, informing them, of his place of residence and that he should personally attend the court at Richmond, on the day to which it was adjourned.
Albany Gazette.
Extract of a letter from Messrs. John Ross & Co. merchants at Malia, to merchants in Newburyport, dated May 23. "We regret to inform that the ship Massachusetts, Buntin, has been detained and brought in here by an English privateer, while proceeding on a voyage from Leghorn to Mantredonia, in ballast. The United States agent, (W. Higgins, esq.) has come forward to protect the property, and has lodged a claim in the vice admiralty court for the vessel, &c. and given bail. In consequence of the decree of Bona-vacantia, declaring Great Britain and her colonies, in a state of blockade, the English government, by way of reprisal, have published an order of council prohibiting the trade between any two ports where the British flag is not permitted to enter; and it is, we believe, upon this legislative order, that the Massachusetts has been detained."
P. S. June 3. We are sorry to inform that the Massachusetts has, by sentence pronounced this day, been condemned. A letter, dated June 6, from the same, advises the owners to appeal, and they are allowed twelve months for that purpose.
Extract of a letter from captain John Bunin, of the ship Massachusetts condemned at Malta, dated June 5. "This place is full of prize vessels, and coming in daily. There are 18 sail of American vessels sent in here, some with valuable cargoes, and it is considered that there is not much short of six hundred thousand dollars worth of American property detained and condemned in this port."
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated July 10, 1807, to a respectable mercantile house in Charleston. "An order was issued from the intendente to the collector of the customs to examine all goods in the custom house at present, and such as may enter hereafter, with instructions to detain for the present, such as may appear to be of English manufacture, until further orders. This is the first step towards a general prohibition of English manufacture; but we presume it hardly possible that our government will proceed to extremities until due notice shall have been given to our merchants, through the medium of your newspapers."
"July 13.—The order we mentioned in our of the 10th, has been put into execution, and all the English merchandise or manufacture in the custom-house have been detained, but we apprehend they will be dispatched, and that for some time to come their introduction will be winked at. This step of our government has its origin in the high admiralty's order, published in your papers, for we understand it has not been received here officially; but until your merchants get further advices on this subject, they will do well to suspend their shipments of English goods."
From the N. Y. Daily Advertiser. Mr. Editor—The following is a list of the navy of the United States, as it stood in the year 1801, when Mr. Jefferson came into office. If some one sufficiently intimate with ministerial affairs, would furnish an account of its present state, it would be gratifying to the public, and a wake perhaps some serious and useful reflections.

CAUTION RESPECTING THE ARGUSTURA BARK. The senate of Hamburg have published a caution against a kind of Argustura bark which has been sold in that city & operates as a poison. It came from Spain as the true bark of which it has some external resemblance. They may be distinguished however, by the following characters: the decoction of the true Argustura bark dies a yellow, is not turbid nor is it altered by a solution of Iron, that of the spurious kind does not dye, and becomes black with Chalybeates. The same poisonous drugs has been sold in London and produced deleterious effects. Med. and Chir. Reg.
The agricultural society of Charleston have published a statement of the expence of manufacturing six pieces of cloth in the state of Rhode Island from South Carolina wool; from which it appears that a profit was made of fourteen dollars and 49 cents on an expenditure of 127 dollars, and that had it been made into low priced negro cloth the profit would have been above 50 dollars. The report adds that the American cloth is much superior to that imported.
There is now exhibiting in Philadelphia, a live Cassowary, brought to that place in the ship America, from Batavia.—It is young, in full plumage, and very docile, and closely conformable, to the following description of that bird, taken from Dobson's Encyclopedia: "The Cassowary is nearly equal in size to the Ostrich, but its legs are much thicker and stronger in proportion. It is five feet and a half long from the bill to the end of the claws, the legs are two feet and a half high from the Belly. The head and neck together are a foot and a half, and the largest toe is five inches long. The wing is so small that it does not appear, being hid under the feathers of the back. The part which most distinguishes this animal is the head, which though small inspires some degree of terror. It is bare of feathers and armed with an helmet of horny substance, black before and yellow behind. The neck is of a violet color and red in several places. The Cassowary has the head of a warrior, the eye of a lion, the defence of a porcupine, and the swiftness of a courser. It can devour not only glass, but even live and burning coals, without the least injury, &c."
From the N. Y. Evening Post. AS shameful attempts are making to dishonor the U. States, by misrepresenting the nature of our controversy with G. Britain respecting seamen, the following summary observations may be acceptable to some of our readers.
The British navigation act, passed in the reign of Charles 2d, requires that the master and three fourths of the mariners of British ships shall be British subjects. But this fundamental regulation is by a statute of the 13 of Geo 2d limited to periods of peace. During any wars in which G. Britain is engaged, it is sufficient if the crews of her ships are composed of one fourth natives or seven naturalized mariners. Provision is even made for allowing a less proportion than one fourth in certain cases.
But though during war no more than one fourth of the crews of British ships are required to be native British or even naturalized subjects, yet at all times the principles of the navigation law are enforced in respect to "foreign vessels trading to Great Britain." Those principles require, that the "master and three fourths of the mariners shall be subjects of the countries to which the foreign vessels belong." By a permanent statute, "all foreigners who served in the merchant ships or privateers of G. Britain, are exempted from being impressed into the king's service, and for their security are entitled to protections from the admiralty."—Vide 13 Geo. 2d.
Foreign seamen, who serve faithfully for two years, during a time of war, on board any public or even private British ships, are by law deemed, "natural born subjects of G. Britain."—Vide 13 Geo. 2. It will then be seen, that naturalizing seamen and granting protections for the purpose of detaching them from their natural allegiance, are not as they have been called "American inventions." The impressment of seamen is contrary to the genius of the English law, and no such right has ever been vested by statute, though its existence at common law, may be inferred from several statutes, limiting the exercise of impressment. Seamen above 55 or under 18 years of age, apprentices, ferrymen and fishermen, and all persons of whatever age, for two years after first going to sea, are exempted and entitled to protections. No law (unless one has been recently enacted) has ever existed for compelling deserters to return to service, except on board the king's ships. British sailors who have ever signed articles to serve in British merchant's ships, cannot be compelled to a specific performance of their contracts, and are only liable to confinement for a short time as a punishment for desertion. A deserter from a foreign ship cannot be arrested in England, and returned to his duty. Any seaman may leave his service in a private vessel, at any time, and enter on board a king's ship, without forfeiting his wages or being deemed a deserter.
There is nothing in the British statutes or public regulations which countenances the impressment of seamen, from British vessels on the high seas, and no such right in respect to foreign vessels is recognized by the law of nations.
From this representation, it is evident that the British have no right to complain of our laws, which on the subject in question, are more liberal than their own, nor ought any modification of them to be expected, but solely on the ground of reciprocal benefit.
The former administration offered the British government a stipulation for the mutual guarantee of all deserters, on condition that they would abstain from impressments from our vessels on the high seas:—If the present administration have made a similar offer they have done enough; more ought not to be conceded in any event. A government which will not protect the personal liberty of its subjects is unworthy of support.
There is something inexpressibly disgusting in the attempt now making to deceive the people by representing this as a controversy for the protection of British mutineers and deserters: nothing more liberal was perhaps to be expected from certain mercenary minions of British influence among us: but Americans ought to be ashamed of such base and unfounded suggestions. On this question they can find no room to hesitate whether they shall support the cause of their country: to recommend a submission to British injustice because our administration has submitted to French and Spanish injustice, will be to establish a principle which must in a few years deprive us of every vestage of our rights and place us humble slaves at the feet of some usurper:—No! While we would prefer peace with honor, let us spurn it if connected with unequal or degrading conditions: Let us say as the proud spirited Romans—"We will not dispute about the qualifications of a master; WE WILL HAVE NO MASTER."
CAMILLUS. An American in London, writes to his friend in Charleston, thus: "The British treaty has returned to England, and I am since informed it is more exceptionable than I at first imagined; it comprehends sixteen articles of Jay's treaty entire, and has no desirable features: how to get rid of it, and place us in the same situation as though it never existed, is the present difficulty of the executive: I know not how to account for the extraordinary folly of our ministers at the court of St. James's. It is a fact that Mr. Fox, who has shewn more liberality towards the United States, than any other British man in their administration, was of opinion that it would be best to make no treaty at present, because he did not think it would be possible, under existing circumstances, to form a treaty that would accord with the public sentiments of both nations; at the same time he assured our ministers, that a due respect should be paid to the American rights, and that they should be secured, and would be further extended without a treaty, than could be acceded to by a treaty. The event has shewn his superior understanding."

New Invented Oven.
I HAVE obtained from the general government an exclusive privilege in an OVEN I have invented on entire new principles, for baking all kinds of bread, the advantages of my plan over those hitherto used are in the usual mode: The oven is first heated the fire scraped out and the dough put in to bake, when the oven is hottest and as the bread bakes the oven gradually cools, it will surely be conceded when bread is first put into an oven it is most tender and least capable of bearing heat—on my plan the bread is put into the oven at the extreme end, or where the heat is least and as it bakes it regularly progresses into a keener heat until baked. Again, it is acknowledged the thinner bread is baked the better it is and the longer it will keep; in the usual mode of baking the thinner the bread the smaller quantity the oven will bake per day; on my plan as the oven is constantly in blast, the thinner the bread the more the oven will bake; added to this the labor of splitting wood is saved—the heating, cleaning and setting an oven also. An oven on my plan if well built, is much more durable, takes up less room to do the same business, costs much less money to build it, requires less fuel to bake the same quantity of bread, fewer hands can do the same business, in fact, a mind (superior to prejudices often attendant on customs long established) will be satisfied on a view of my oven in operation. I have narrated facts only for those who have not an opportunity of seeing the oven in operation.
I subjoin the certificates of gentlemen whose respectability will not be questioned. For an oven of twenty feet length and three feet six inches width, or the privilege of using it, my price is five hundred dollars, and in proportion for a larger or smaller one. I will dispose of my privilege for states, counties or towns, on liberal terms, letters addressed to me post paid, Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
James Deneale.
Dumfries, July 20. WE, Richard and Stephen Winchester, residing in the town of Fredericksburg and commonwealth of Virginia, do certify, we have built an Oven under the immediate direction of James Deneale of Dumfries and commonwealth of Virginia aforesaid, on a plan entirely different from the ovens in common use, and we believe invented by the said Deneale. It requires much less fuel than the common oven and may be used without splitting the wood, of course there is great saving of labor; we have baked every kind of biscuit and can say truly that it bakes well. We consider it as a valuable improvement and well worthy the attention of bakers.
R & S. Winchester.
Fredericksburg, January 23, 1806.
These are to certify to all whom it may concern, that I, Andrew Jamieson, biscuit baker, in the town of Alexandria, and district of Columbia, was in the town of Fredericksburg, in the state of Virginia, some time since the middle of last January, and there did attend great part of one day to see the operation of biscuit baking in the new invented oven in the possession of Messrs. Richard and Stephen Winchester, of Fredericksburg, which oven I have every reason to believe is the sole invention of Mr. James Deneale, of Dumfries, in the state of Virginia, and hereby declare and aver, that I saw said New Invented or Perpetual Oven bake large and small biscuits in as short a time and as regular a manner as any oven I have seen these forty years I have been at the baking business. Given under my hand this sixth day of February (in Alexandria and district of Columbia) in the year one thousand eight hundred and six.
Andrew Jamieson.
N. B. Not having sufficient experiment of said oven above mentioned, I cannot ascertain what may be saved in wood or labor, only that cord wood will do without the labor of chopping and splitting, as is necessary with old fashioned ovens.
A. J.
New-York, December 1, 1806.
THIS is to certify that I have been using the patent oven, invented by James Deneale, esq. of Dumfries, Virginia, since April last, to considerable advantage in this city, I have no doubt of its possessing considerable advantages over the old method, such as a saving of fuel and labor, in consequence of which the proprietor is enabled to make the bread much thinner and consequently more proper for long voyages on a hot climate.
Again, as a part of the operation requiring most skill and practice is abridged by this method; more of the work may be done by boys or men little experienced in the business.
Not being acquainted myself with the old method, I will not attempt to state the differences between them, but that it is greatly in favor of Deneale's method must be evident to the most superficial observer.

Iron Works for Sale.
THE subscriber is duly empowered to contract for the sale of a handsome Site for Iron Works and eight thousand acres of Land adjoining, lying on the river Rappahannock, about nine miles above Fredericksburg. This tract abounds with inexhaustible mines of the richest iron ore and an ample supply of wood for coal. The site for the works are advantageous in the extreme, commanding the whole course of the Rappahannock by a natural canal, into which the whole force of the river may be turned at a small expence. There has been a furnace and other works formerly erected here, and the ore found on trial abundant and good. When it is considered that this property is within nine miles of tide water, and that the navigation from the site of the works to tide water may at a small expence be rendered practicable to transport every heavy article to market: when it is considered from the contiguity of these works to the seat of government, no iron establishment can supply cannon and shot on so good terms (competent judges having pronounced the ore on this tract of superior quality for cannon,) a doubt cannot be entertained of the great value of this property. The title is indisputable, and a great bargain may be had. The subscriber will at any time attend those inclined to view the premises, and can shew an accurate survey of the tract on application to him at Dumfries, in Virginia.
