DOCUMENTS
Accompanying a message from the President of the United States - Comprising at full length, all the papers not previously inserted in the National Intelligencer.
(Concluded.)
Extract of a letter from Dr. John Sibley to the sec'y at war, dated
Natchitoches, May 1, 1805.
The Choctaw chief at the same time reported to me, that a party of his people had lately returned from a hunting voyage on the bay of St. Bernard, and that they there fell in with two parties of Spanish troops, who had lately arrived there by water, and had their shipping then laying there; that they were building two forts, and had got them considerably advanced; one of them at the mouth of Trinity river, at the Occoakesaws, the other further to the westward, near the Carankuas; they did not know by what name they called the place, but I take it to be Matagordo. That the Spanish officer at Occoakesaws, had commissioned one of his hunters as a chief - and told him that the Americans holding this country, was all wind; that if they were wise, should abandon us, and attach themselves to them; the Spaniards, for their old friends would not forsake them; but that they were advancing against the Americans, and should soon build a fort in Opelousas, and another at Attakapa, and one at or near Natchitoches, and proceed on towards New Orleans; and the officer told him he was in want of spades to go on for with the works; that if the Indians would come in amongst the Americans & buy what they could and bring to him, he would give them a horse for each spade they would bring.
This hunter on his arrival at Bayou Chicico, at the Choctaw village, finding the chief absent, sent off a runner to notify him of it, and to be on his guard against the Americans, for all Louisiana would soon again belong to Spain.
Mr. Fulsome, whom I occasionally employ as interpreter, was present when the chief received this message, and came in with him to me, who likewise said there was at the same time a Spaniard in the Choctaw camp asleep, and that after the runner had delivered his message, he Fulsome, awakened the Spaniard, and asked him if he knew any thing of a Spanish force having arrived at the Occoakesaws, and he said he had heard so.
An American gentleman, a captain Frisco, of Tennessee, was with me a few hours ago, he is lately from Nacogdoches, and informs he understood the same when he was at that place."
Extract of a letter from captain Turner to gen. James Wilkinson, dated
FORT CLAIBORNE, NATCHITOCHES, May 3d, 1805.
Within these two days I have received information that the Spaniards have absolutely established themselves both at Matagordo, and the Ocuquitas. They came by sea, and immediately commenced fortifying. The informer is an Indian chief of the Choctaws, who says, that a warrior of his nation, who has been hunting with the Carankuas, on the Bay of St. Bernard, has returned loaded with Spanish presents and caresses; and says, that the commanding officer told him, that he and his people had better abandon the Americans, and come under the protection of the Spaniards, who would never forsake their old friends: and bid him witness their present proceedings, giving him to understand that it was only preparatory to their taking possession of the country again, which would not long remain in the hands of the Americans, as they meant to edge themselves along till they got Orleans; that the warrior appeared to believe what was told him, and had returned with different ideas respecting Americans than he possessed before. The informer further says, that the Spanish troops were in want of spades, and told this Indian, and those who were with him, that if they would bring some from this place, or Opelousas, he would give them a horse for every one delivered."
Extract of a letter from Dr. John Sibley to the secretary of war, dated
NATCHITOCHES, May 31, 1805.
I sent Mr. Fulsome to bring in the chief and the party of Choctaws who had lately returned from the bay of St. Bernard, and had given us an account of the ports of Matagordo and Occoakesaws being lately taken possession of. Mr. Fulsome found them and brought them in. He can give no certain account of any troops being at Matagordo; but he was at the Occoakesaws, and saw them; they were building a fort; but a small number of soldiers.
The chief says, the Spanish officer advised him and all his nation to come to them;
that their great father over the water had not forgotten them, and gave them not only his hand but his whole arm. He says, the party he saw came there by land: but the evening he left that place, he saw a vessel in the bay, that the officer said was coming to them with a reinforcement. He likewise says, he heard they intended to build forts soon at Opelousas, Attakapa and Natchitoches; but he did not hear the officer say it."
Extract of a letter from Dr. John Sibley to the secretary of war, dated
NATCHITOCHES, July 2, 1805.
A man by the name of St. Pre arrived here yesterday from the Spanish country. He speaks French: I have just had some conversation with him. He says that there are 500 families arrived at St. Antonio, settlers, with a considerable reinforcement of troops; and that 100 soldiers were coming to Nacogdoches, 50 of whom were to be there by the 15th inst."
Extract of a letter from captain Turner to gen. Wilkinson, dated Fort Claiborne, Natchitoches, Sept. 3, 1805.
About a month ago Mr. Shabus, of this place, received a letter dated St. Antonio, from Padre Puellet, telling him that the commandant general, Mr. Grimare, direct from the court of Spain, was expected in August at the Rio Grand, where a great number of people of the province of Texas was to meet him; that he was accompanied by 7 companies coming to St. Antonio, which place he was to make his residence, and that captain Amangual was to be stationed with his full company at Nacogdoches. Mr. Shabus received a passage from the governor of St. Antonio, and a letter from the bishop, requesting him to come on immediately to make preparations for the commandant general.
Said Shabus says that he (the commandant general) was high in the confidence of the court of Spain, and sent an account of the limits. Six hundred families coming from Spain to settle at Matagordo, had put into the Canary islands."
Extract of a letter from the same to the same, dated Fort Claiborne, Natchitoches, September 30, 1805.
The new governor, Antonio Cordero, has arrived at St. Antonio.
Two men have arrived from Nacogdoches, one of whom says he saw a letter from Mr. Barr to Davenport, written at St. Antonio, saying that he was waiting to set out with the colonel, who was to take command of Nacogdoches. He was to have two companies with him, one of which was to reinforce the Ocuquitas and the other to be divided between Nacogdoches and Adaes.
The white men employed by the Indian agent are now with me, and relate the following:
At about six days march, nearly four west from here, they came in sight of a fort of stockade, as well as they could judge from the distance they saw it. They were discovered by the garrison, and a number of horsemen (to the amount of at least fifty) immediately sallying out from or near the picket work, in line, and gave them chase; as they approached they formed a half circle in order to enclose them; they, the Americans, escaped to the woods, which were within a league; the Spaniards continued the pursuit about fifteen miles. They imagined the fort or picket work to be about one hundred and twenty miles from this place, and is situated in open ground in the bottom of a prairie, at the confluence of the Trinity and Snow rivers, about twenty miles from the sea.
They were further informed that the place where the fort is was called Ocuquitas."
Extract of a letter from a Mr. Johnson, son of a colonel Johnson, of Kentucky, to Dr. Sibley, dated
NACOGDOCHES, 3d Oct. 1805.
I have chosen this method of informing you of the receipt of a letter from Mr. Barr but a few minutes since, which mentions that he will be here the day after to-morrow, accompanied by the new commandant, who had under his charge two companies of 110 each. The one is to be stationed at the Trinity until further orders, the other is for this place, with orders to make it a place of defence."
Extract of a letter from captain Bowler to lieut. col. Freeman, dated
OPPELOUSAS, 13th Oct. 1805.
Yesterday judge Collins waited on me, and informed me, that the minds of the citizens of this district were considerably agitated on a report being in circulation that a number of Spanish troops have taken post on the Kiquequois, some distance on the side of the Sabine. Report says, the number does not fall short of eight hundred, I have no idea the force is as strong as reported; but that there are some Spanish troops in that quarter, I have not the smallest doubt.
Some time before captain Stille left Attakapa, he had certain information, that a regular patrol was kept on the Sabine, and were relieved weekly from the post of Nacogdoches. Since
* A full company consists of captain, lieutenant commandant, and one hundred and fifteen men.
than I have been informed (how true I cannot say) that two of the inhabitants of this country are prisoners at that post.
Extract of a letter from Governor Claiborne, to the Secretary of War, dated New Orleans, October 30th, 1805.
Six hundred troops have arrived at Pensacola from the Havana, and it is reported that the garrisons of Mobile and Baton Rouge are to receive considerable reinforcements.
A governor general for the province of Texas has arrived at St. Antonio; he is a brigadier general, and said to possess military talents.
A fort is erected on Trinity river, and about two hundred men (the greater part) are there stationed.
BOSTON, January 3.
Capt. Elliot, master of the brig Elizabeth Coates, of Newburyport, arrived in this town last evening from New Providence, via New York; he informs that the Elizabeth Coates, was from Martinique bound home, but being blown off the coast he put into New Providence in distress; he left his mate and one hand with the brig; it is expected she will be condemned as not sea worthy. Captain E. left about thirty sail of American vessels at N. Providence, among which were the schr. Caroline, Partridge, of Boston, she was taken off the Havana and carried in for adjudication; and the schr. James, Rogers, 117 days from Copenhagen for Boston, she sailed from Copenhagen Aug. 20, and eight days after put in a Norway to stop a leak; sailed from thence Sept. 1: on the 10th experienced a severe gale, which carried away the cambocse, coops &c. Nov. 1, shipped a heavy sea, which cast the vessel on her beam ends, carried away the railings, opened the seams of her deck, and started the bulk head. After this gale they experienced several others which obliged them to lay to, at different times, 22 days. November 30, fell in with brig Brilliant of Baltimore, and got a supply of provisions, being then reduced to 12 pounds of flour and a few potatoes. December 6, lat. 25, 30, long. 65, fell in with the ship Financier, Sargent, from Madras bound to Boston, who kindly offered to supply them with necessaries, but blowing hard, and a heavy sea, they were afraid to put out their boat. And on the 14th arrived at Nassau, N. P. she is loaded with hemp and iron.
BALTIMORE, January 10.
Arrived yesterday, brig Henry, Allen, from Point Petre, Guadalupe; sailed thence 21st Dec.
Left there the brig John, 11 days from Boston; schooner Temperance, to sail for Sag Harbor in 6 days; the brig Brilliant, Montserrat, to sail for Baltimore the last of February; the schooner Nymph, Gover, to sail in 20 days; schooner Eliza, Sylvia, to sail for New York in 20 days. Dec. 2, two hours out of the harbor of Point Petre, I was brought to by an English privateer; he did not detain us long, there being two French privateers atern of us, that he made the best of his way to get clear; but they were so near him that they brought him to with the second shot, then bore away for Basseterre with him in tow. December 2, off Point Peter, spoke the schooner Dolphin, 18 days from Philadelphia. January 6, six leagues from Cape Henry, spoke the schooner Mary, Middletown bound to St. Jago. Cape Henry bearing south 7 miles distant, saw a brig under a jury mast to the eastward, making in for the cape.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable house, dated
LONDON, Nov. 6, 1805.
By this vessel (the British Packet) we send you a pamphlet, which has excited much attention here, entitled, "War in disguise, or the frauds of the neutral flags." It is supposed to be written under the auspices and to speak the sentiments of government: and if so, we think it will shortly be impossible to send with safety any colonial produce from our shores. We already doubt the prudence of so doing in the present unsettled state of the great question in agitation between your government and ours, for such produce is daily hung up for further proof in our admiralty court, and yesterday the Young Cornelia from New York to Amsterdam, was with a great part of her cargo absolutely condemned, and the judge said he was astonished that any surprise was excited by the late decision as there was nothing new in the principle of them!
"Under all circumstances, we would advise shipments to be made with the greatest precautions, to avoid the imputation of continuity of voyage from any of the enemies colonies, to any of the belligerent countries in Europe; and we really think it advisable that every vessel should touch at Falmouth or Cowes for orders, whilst the present system lasts."
January 11.
Arrived, schr. Ethan Allen, McCombe, 26 days from Cayenne. Left schr. Five Sisters, Brown, of Norfolk, to sail in 2 days for Surinam; the brig Olive Branch, Boomer, of New York, sailed for Charleston the day before. Spoke nothing. Saw a schooner ashore on the beach.
Also, schr. Susan, Everson, 27 days from St. Jago. Left there brig Ann and Mary, Mallory, for Baltimore next day; schr. Montserrat, Davis; Henry, Gold, and Buckskin, Henry, of Baltimore, uncertain. No prizes had been brought in for some time. Off Cape Maize was boarded by the Wolf and Pelican English sloops of war and treated politely.
Also, sloop George Washington and Charlotte, from New York.
Also, sloop Hebe, Pearsall, from Mccha, and 90 days from the Isle of France. Left the Isle of France 12th October, after an embargo of 5 days which continued when we sailed. The ship George Washington, Tarris, of Philadelphia, from Batavia, condemned as unseaworthy; the cargo had bought another ship to bring home her cargo; and ship Good Friends, Thompson, of Philadelphia, from Leghorn, bound to Batavia; touched at the Isle of Ascension; the ship Hampton, Isaacs, from Calcutta, sailed for New York the evening before; off that place was boarded by an English 50 gun ship from Bengal, bound to Europe, with the Marquis of Wellesly and suite on board. Crossing the line was boarded by a Liverpool privateer: in long. 70, spoke the ship Pigm, from Philadelphia for Campeachy, out 8 days.

Austrian Official Accounts.
VIENNA, Oct. 20.
After the first official information respecting the events of war, was inserted in the Court Gazette of yesterday, dispatches were brought from the army, by major Flachenfeld: in consequence of his arrival, the following accounts were published:
1. Battle of Wertingen, fought on the 8th of October, under the command of field Marshal baron Von Auffenburgh. In the evening of the 7th of October, field marshal baron Von Auffenburgh was detached from Guntzburg to Wertingen, with six battalions of grenadiers, three of fusileers, two squadrons of duke Albert's cuirassiers, and two of Latour's light horse, to observe the enemy, who had passed the Danube near Donawerth. On the forenoon of next day, the enemy made various demonstrations against our divisions, near Wertingen which gave reason to say, that they meant to advance against them in force. This was rendered more manifest by subsequent movements, and by the march of several columns to Zusmarshausen, and towards the causeway of Guntzburg. At length the battalions passed near Wertingen, at a great distance from the army, were attacked with vivacity by the enemy's cavalry in superior numbers; and our divisions of cavalry notwithstanding all the bravery they displayed, and their repeated efforts in support of the enemy, were not capable of resisting such a force. The loss on our side consists in one officer, 100 men killed; 13 officers and 221 men wounded; 52 officers and 1469 men made prisoners. The battalions of Spork's and the archduke Louis's grenadiers, suffered most. Three standards, 6 cannons, and several ammunition waggons, have also fallen into the hands of the enemy. On the following day field marshal Auffenburgh was missing, and it is supposed he was taken prisoner.
2. Battle of Guntzburg, on the 9th of October, between the Royal and Imperial army, and the sixth corps of the French army, commanded by Marshal Ney. On the 8th of October, a part of the Austrian army advanced from Ulm to Guntzburg, for the purpose of collecting the regiments which had not yet joined, but was arriving from their cantonments; and afterwards, if circumstances should permit, of proceeding by the right bank of the Danube against the enemy, should he attempt to pass that river. On the ninth the army encamped near Guntzburg, its right wing resting on the village of Limpach, and its left on Reissersburgh. The bridges on the Danube were occupied as far as Leipham. The Austrian General Von Aspre was also posted on the left bank of the Danube with a corps of light troops, to detach parties and procure information respecting the enemy.

The camp at Guntzburg, was however scarcely occupied, when the corps of Gen. Von Aspre, was compelled to retreat beyond the Danube, after sustaining some loss and the general himself being missing. The enemy under the command of marshal Ney, then penetrated in force to the bridge of the Danube, endeavoured to pass them, and to drive our troops from the bank.
During the whole of the afternoon these attempts were made in vain, but towards the evening a small column of the enemy succeeded in forcing the passage of the bridge and of the causeway near Guntzburg, and penetrated into that town. The division of Blakenstein's hussars attacked this close column of the enemy with great courage—but as it had in part reached the adjacent wood the division was obliged to retire. At night the enemy remained masters of the right bank near Guntzburg. All farther attacks or attempts to pass the river was renounced, and the retreat to Ulm was effected during the night. The loss we sustained in killed cannot yet be ascertained, as there has not been time for the regiments to make their returns. There are about five hundred wounded in the hospitals of Guntzburg, and nearly six hundred and thirty prisoners were taken by the enemy. One piece of cannon belonging to Spork's regiment of infantry fell into the hands of the enemy.
3. Battle of Ulm, on the eleventh of October, between the imperial and royal army, and the sixth corps of the French army, commanded by marshal Ney.
The right wing of the Austrian army, before Ulm, was attacked on the 11th October with great impetuosity, by the French army of observation, under the command of marshal Ney. The plan of the French was to take Ulm by surprise, and the attack was made to favor the operation. Our right wing repulsed the enemy on each attack, with the greatest firmness and valor. At the same time general Mack caused a considerable number of our left wing to advance, which succeeded in turning the right wing of the enemy, who had two regiments of cavalry and two of infantry almost entirely destroyed. The enemy retired in the greatest disorder descending the Danube. They left nearly 1500 men dead on the field of battle. We made from 8 to 900 prisoners, and took 11 cannon 20 ammunition waggons. A great number of other waggons, and the baggage of general Dupont, fell into our hands. The prince of Schwartzenburgh, count Klenau, and Giulay, Albert's and Mack's curassiers, and Latour's light horse particularly distinguished themselves. All the generals and officers, as well as the troops, displayed at once the greatest steadiness and activity. We lost only a few hundred men. The battle and the pursuit of the enemy lasted all night.
October 21. His majesty the emperor has caused to be published a "true statement of the conduct of the serene electoral Palatine (elector of Bavaria) of which the following is a correct abridgement:
"The serene elector Palatine has published an historical statement, in which he owns himself an ally of France; and declares war against Austria and Russia, excusing by false allegations, the breach of promise he had made to the Roman emperor, of ceding his troops to him.
"Not content with the indemnifications the serene elector had received by the conclusion of the empire of the 27th April, 1803, he suffered himself from ambition to be drawn into secret engagements with France which proved on every occasion, to tend systematically to counteract Austria.
"As his ambitious hopes rested principally upon the prospect of a fresh attack with which the court of Vienna was menaced by France, on every occasion, those gradual armaments which his majesty was compelled to make, from the preparations made by the emperor Napoleon, became an object of his serene elector's attention. His first design was to raise a numerous army in Bavaria, and to hold it in readiness for the French emperor. The quickness of the Austrian armament prevented the execution of that intention, and the elector chose rather to hasten to go and join the French with all his troops, leaving his Bavarian and Suabian estates to their own fate, than to disappoint the expectation of the enemy of public tranquility; consequently the whole of the Bavarian artillery was sent to Wurtzburg, the Bavarian and Suabian troops were assembled, & a French general was present to prepare every thing agreeably to the desire of the emperor Napoleon. His serene highness the elector had also prepared for his departure, when prince Schwarzenberg arrived at Munich on the 6th of September.
The danger that the elector Palatine would join the French, was indubitable; consequently a serious demand for the cessation of troops became a just measure of self defence.
"The elector agreed to the demand verbally and in writing. He wrote to the prince, on the 7th September, with his own hand: 'I am resolved; confer with the minister Montgelas on the conditions.' The minister confirmed his sovereign's resolution, and proposed the conditions; and the elector's own regiment, and that of the electoral prince, should remain at the disposal of his serene highness: and that Munich and Nymphenburgh should be exempted from the passage of Austrian troops. The agreement was to be concluded at Haag the following day.
"On the 8th of September, count Nogarola was sent off to the emperor, with a letter from the elector, beginning in the following words: "I have this morning ordered my minister to conclude an agreement with prince Schwarzenberg, in pursuance of which I shall unite my forces to those of your imperial and royal majesty, to give you a proof of my inviolable devotion." No sooner had count Nogarola set off with this letter, and even before prince Schwarzenberg could go from Munich to Haag, than the serene elector left Bavaria on the night of the 8th, and withdrew all his troops by forced marches, having emptied all the public chests, and taken with him even the deposited bonds, and widows and orphan's estates; whence it became necessary to put a stop to the further drawing of the annuities, &c. to prevent a total stagnation to the whole administration of the country.
When prince Schwarzenberg, and general Mack arrived at Haag, the elector's intention of flying from his engagement was no longer a secret. After he had waited a long while, there appeared a Palatine lieutenant colonel, shewing, by his tone and proposals quite different from those of Munich, that a pretence was sought for breaking off a nugatory negotiation.
It was refused to leave the electoral troops in Bavaria, their cession was to be deferred till the war had actually commenced, and they were always to remain together as a separate body.
After what had happened, the Austrian generals could not consent to leave an independent and numerous corps in the rear and flank of the Austrian army, which was hastening forward.
"The Bavarian troops were not to be embodied by men or companies with the Austrians, as has been falsely asserted on the Palatine port, but to remain together in whole regiments or brigades. The entry of the Austrian and Russian troops in Germany had been notified to the serene elector, who had only made the exception of the districts of Munich and Nymphenburgh.
"As to the requisition made for the maintenance of the Austrian troops, they are become indispensable, from the general practice of the French army, no other power could otherwise cope with it. However since the entry of the French, the vast difference between their mode of raising requisitions and the Austrian has been experienced.
Nevertheless, to remove every pretence, his majesty declared by his envoy, count Buol, that he accepted the condition of leaving Palatine troops together in a separate corps. The objection stated in the serene elector's letter of September 8th, namely that the Electoral Prince was in France, was already removed, by the wise precaution of the Prince. Count Buol was even empowered to be finally satisfied with the dismissal (instead of the cession) of the troops, by the way of furlough, or even of the Bavarian troops alone.
"All was refused. The French troops were received by the elector with open arms; and all the Palatine troops joined them—They take the field against his majesty and against the Emperor of Russia, and war has been declared.
"In a word the elector has become false to his word, which he had given as a prince and as a man; false to his people and to his emperor; to the proved friendship of the emperor Alexander, to the security and welfare of Germany and Europe, which depend on the event of this war compelled by France. This is the true statement of a conduct which the loyal subjects of that Prince so loudly deprecate, at which the honorable and patriotic feelings of his brave troops revolt, who are now shedding their blood, not for the deliverance of Germany, but for its enemies, and who are compelled to stain their hands with German blood."

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14.
Married, last evening by the Rev. Mr. Muir, Mr. Isaac Entwistle, to Miss Ann Ryan, both of this place.
Letters by the Volunteer, Wells, dated the 5th ult. to a respectable house in New York, announce,
THAT an order had the preceding week been issued at Laguire and Porto-Cavello, totally prohibiting the further exportation of coffee, cocoa & hides.
From the London Morning Chronicle of November 15.
It appears that the numerous armies assembled in the North of Germany, where the last harvest was uncommonly bad, has created a scarcity of the most distressing kind. By the letters yesterday from Hamburg, the price of corn has risen to an excessive degree. Our ministers have wisely sent stores of biscuit for the maintenance of gen. Don's army; but it would be well if ships were instantly taken to send a supply of corn, which we can very well spare. The wheat which has been imported from the very countries which now want it, cannot find a market in this country at the price at which it was consigned; and yet not being entered for re-exportation, it cannot be sent back. Policy, as well as good neighborhood, demand, that we should relax from the law to serve them in their extremity.
Proceedings of Congress Taken for the "ALEXANDRIA DAILY ADVERTISER."
NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, January 11. Fire Arms.
Mr. Speaker informed the house that he had received a letter from the secretary at war, of the number of fire arms, belonging to the United States, with the places where they are deposited.
Total Amount, as near as it could be taken from the reading;
  Muskets 113,501   Rifles 3,666   Pistols 1,938   Carabines 986 
It was moved that the letter and report should be printed:
When Mr. Alston, objected, saying it would show how defenceless we are in many positions, by designating the places where these arms are deposited—He therefore moved that they be committed;
Which was agreed to;
The largest depot appeared to be at Springfield the others at Philadelphia, Harper's Ferry, and New Orleans where there are large quantities of arms, and the remainder are distributed in the different forts, posts and garrisons, in the union.
Mr. J. C. Smith, chairman of the committee of claims,—made a report on the petition of G. H. Lovejoy, late a soldier in the second regiment of engineers, stating that he had lost both his eyes in a private affray, and was discharged from the army in consequence thereof, and praying to be put upon the pension list.
The report was that the prayer of the petitioner should not be granted;
To which the house immediately concurred.
Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of the inspectors of Philadelphia, similar to that already before the house, from New York;
Referred to the secretary of the navy.
Mr. Thomas, then observed that as there was nothing material before the house, he moved that the subject of yesterday should be resumed.
At 45 minutes past 12, in consequence of such business being of a secret nature, the galleries were cleared, and the house again the remainder of the day proceeded with CLOSED DOORS, and then adjourned till Monday next.

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