TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expences of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

July 21.

THE good old times of incipient independence have not yet faded from the recollections of the people, nor are the posterity of the witnesses of those days unacquainted with the prevailing opinions of all nations upon the conclusion of the contest for liberty. America was then regarded as the theatre of the exploits of a new and mighty people, whose glory and happiness were to expand with every year, and whose new-risen empire was to remain the asylum of reviving liberty and equality. And at a period which promised so fair as that epoch of our national establishment, it might well have been surmised, throwing aside the flattering illusions which the intoxicating idea of liberty will create, without incurring the reproach of sanguine partiality or overweening attachment to our native soil, that we should have progressed with an unparalleled and unexampled rapidity, to an acme of prosperity and glory. For, conjoined with every internal source of rise to greatness and power, as a people, there impended, at that period, no cloud of misfortune from abroad—and mutual danger and hardship had cemented, for a time, a mutuality of interests and happiness at home.
It would indeed appear, from the joy that we demonstrate on the anniversary commemorations of our national birth, and from the enthusiasm of our zeal in eulogizing the era that commenced our independence, wealth and happiness, that our progression had even exceeded expectations, elevated by success and expanded with triumph. It would seem as if we had cause to congratulate each other on past advantages hitherto unprecedented, and present prospects bright and alluring; as if no cloud intervened to obscure the lustre of our horizon, or indicate the possibility of advancing storms.—Yet the eye of investigation may possibly discern, that although our progress has been great, it has not been unexampled, or even what it might have been in regular progression; that there is at the present more need of provident sagacity and prudent reference to what may occur in future, than of exhausting fancy of its vividness, and elocution of all its pomp and elegance of diction, in panegyrics on what, however important at the time and preparatory to what has followed, has ceased materially to affect the stability or duration of our existence as a people. At least let us learn to mingle temperance with our joy; to survey the present and to look forward to the future with an eye of scrupulous examination; and, comparing the first dawnsings of our empire with its successive gradations of improvement or decline, to form an accurate and temperate estimation of our present situation.
The croakings of "screech-owl despair," that bode nothing but evils "most foul and horrible," should be heard with inattentive indifference. There is, however, a point, where coolness degenerates into apathy, and moderation into weakness; a time unbecoming of "modest stillness and humility;" but which demands an energy of judgment in investigation, an unerring honesty of decision, uninfluenced by situation or by prejudice, and unthwarted by danger or by difficulty. And at a conjuncture like the present, which, in spite of all softenings and palliations, even scepticism itself must allow to require every exertion of foresight, of prudence, and of firmness, it will need no apology, for pressing upon the minds of our citizens, even with an excess of vehemence, the necessity of the most vigilant, and unremitted attention to themselves and their government. Amidst the wreck of falling kingdoms and republics in Europe, and the very astonishing revolutions of power that have disordered and disorganized that continent and its dependencies, we, surely, are not so firmly rooted in our foundations, so immutably fixed on the sure basis of concord at home, as to be indifferent to foreign relations, or to stand unshaken like the rock which,
"Tho' storms and tempests thunder on its brow, And oceans break their billows at its feet, Remains unmov'd & glories in its height."
In such manner are we indeed situated, that the revolutions of Europe, and the acts and resolves of its disorganizers have a peculiar and particular reference to the situation of this country. Not only in a general manner are we affected by the potent influence of the Emperor, or exposed to the common danger of other nations, from the vastness of his dominion, and the boundless extent of the ambition which he has manifested, but his decrees and manifestoes have tended immediately to injuring the sources of our wealth, and to degrading us as a na-
tion; and the Emperor, not content with the dominion of the old, would extend his grasp to the new world, and would transplant his standard from the hoar cliffs of the Baltic and the points of the Appenines and Pyrenees, to the ridges of our Alleghany.
And first in the catalogue of his insults and injuries, and of our disgraces, we pause upon the violation of our neutrality. By a principle unprecedented in civil or political history, by one manifesto of this potent regulator and master-director, we are at once precluded from the enjoyment of a right, just, politic and advantageous. The extent of this injury alone, is, to a people like ourselves, incalculable and irreparable. With an extent of coast that naturally invites to adventure, and a vast and extended tract of fertile and cultivated interior, we appear, by the very nature of our situation, a nation of farmers, manufacturers, and traders. The intimacy of the union between the three, the paralism of all by the failure or interruption of one, have been severely demonstrated by our embargo. When the ports of the whole continent are barred against the ships of our traders, and the imperial decrees have condemned to sequestration whatever vessels of our nation that may be so unfortunate as even to be visited by his enemies; when to continue in amity with the opposers of his authority and his subjugating schemes, is deemed sufficient cause for heaping upon us every contemptuous insult as a nation; when threats of worse are added to present indignities, and we have been commanded to confederate with the one or the other of the contending powers; when the mighty-one has undertaken to legislate for us, and decide with whom we shall war, and with whom be at peace, it is surely a time to look around with a fear of an universal stagnation of the sources of our existence as a people, whose boast it has been that they were free, equal and happy; to cease receiving the past with triumph and self-applause, when the present demands some certain, complete, and effectual means of protection and defence.
It would be ridiculous to enquire into the justice or reasonableness of this hostility to neutrality, or to explore the precedents on which are founded these manifestations of imperial pleasure; for who
Can scan the secrets of the vasty deep, Or scale the Heav'ns, or bind with chains the wind?
The truth is, that power bestows right; the balance of Europe is destroyed; there remain no conservative leagues or barrier fortifications to maintain the emperor in justice; and despotic at home, and invincible abroad, no laws of reason, of justice, or of nature, in anywise influence, direct or restrain him. He has revolutionized Holland for his pleasure; he has destroyed the kingdoms, the aristocracies and the republics of Italy, because they were despotic, oppressive, or insignificant, and by reducing them into one compact form, and giving them a ruler from his own family, he has accomplished the great ends of liberating them from exhausting and useless contentions, and sinking them into calm, undisturbed, and apathetic tranquility. Spain and Portugal have added two new jewels to his triple crown; he has parcelled out Germany according to his whim, and he has interdicted navigation and foreign trade from the whole of his wide domain. Actuated by the same wide principle of will, he has presumed to thunder his interdicts against America, for preserving unbroken the bonds of alliance with the only barrier in Europe, against his universal, undisputed domination.
By this exertion of power upon the U. S. we are not only excluded from the ports of the continent, which is of itself a heavy blow, but are wounded in the vital part of our commerce, our intercourse with Great Britain. For although the naval power of France is inadequate to effecting a total interruption, yet she is abundantly provided with petty plundering marauders, who, by their vicinity to the places of the destination of our ships, have already, and are likely to prove of more serious injury to our trade in that part of the world; and the West-Indies too, that excitement to adventure, and mine of wealth to our traders, is snatched in great measure from our anxious grasp, or will prove of detriment to our revenue by exciting shuffling smugglers to do in secret, what the law openly forbids.
It were an endless and ungrateful task to detain the series of actual injuries and probable dangers; on one subject, however, which has already become the theme of a former writer, we may be allowed to express our fears and apprehensions. Our territory has been expanded to a great extent, and on the side most defenceless and unprovided for attack, are situated the newly acquired territories of France. Spain
was a nerveless and spiritless neighbor, from whom little could be feared, and she afforded all the advantages of a frontier defence, without requiring the support of the United States. Spain is now absolutely and unreservedly Bonaparte's: itself and dependencies are alike obedient to his nod and subject to his disposal; and if at any future period, a navy should be at the command of him who has all the resources of Europe for its establishment, and a reciprocal communication be supported between the colonies and the parent country, which shall enrich the one and strengthen the other, we surely shall have no reason to congratulate ourselves on the vast uncultivated undefended territory, which has been purchased by our executive. For added to its incapability of defence from the thinness of its population, there is a class of men in that very undefended territory, less dazzled by the thundering sounds of liberty and equality, than influenced by motives of attachment to the ancient government of the province, and the country from which that government originated.—But it may be well to pause on a subject, of which necessity alone compels us to speak.
Threatened by dangers from abroad, and by the nature of our situation particularly exposed to them, it is natural at this point of the prospect to look around and enquire for a remedy to our evils; to explore a method, from the strength and resources of our own country, of averting indignities and danger for the future. One, and one only resource is at our command. Parsimony may exclaim against expence, and shrinking timidity may tremble at the magnitude of the attempt, but the only feasible, rational and effectual method of preserving America from indignity and contempt, from unprovoked and injurious attacks, from sinking into an abyss of national ignominy, must consist in a larger, well-ordered and powerful navy.—Without entering into tedious minutiae, it may in brief be observed, that it is not yet level to human comprehension, to believe that the Corsican prodigy, however vast his designs, should attempt the passage of the wilas, that border the western confines of Louisiana: that the Atlantic and its shores must be the theatre of his attempts and of others, and of our opposition; and that a system of naval defence, however vast in undertaking and arduous in completion, must be eventually resorted to, as centering the ends of fortifications upon land, and of defending our navigation at sea. Nor can the objections of the expence of the plan be thought worthy of consideration. The object of the revenues of a state is its preservation and protection; and to those ends must they be applied, whenever demanded by impending dangers, in preference to the vain plan of hoarding them up against future contingencies. Nor can we with more justice, complain of a want of materials. With a country abounding with forests and with iron, and with every thing necessary to a naval people, we far exceed even England in resources, when her navy was yet in its infancy, and her timber, her iron, and her hemp, were unapplicable.
I would here enquire into the possibility of a dignified retirement within ourselves; of becoming a nation, to which ships either of war or of merchandise would be unnecessary, and which would be dependent upon itself alone for the necessaries, conveniences and luxuries of life. This Utopian scheme will be better understood by comparing it to the Chinese system of non-intercourse. But it may be well for the advocates of American seclusion to remember, that prodigies can happen but rarely; that chance and circumstances beyond our control, and events, with the causes of which we are unacquainted, have often more influence in determining the character, the manners, the opinions and situation of a people, than the most elaborate systems of laws and regulations, and the most nice and complicate structures of polity; that we have already drunk too deep of the intoxicating draughts of luxury, and experienced too highly the delights of heightening the advantages of our own soil and climate by the varieties and luxuries of others; and that a large and most respectable portion of the community are of the class of those, who depend for their wealth, their ease, and rank of situation upon the emoluments of traffic; men, whom it would be impossible to persuade and difficult to compel to the sacrifice of themselves for the benefit of their country. And allowing the possibility of the accomplishment of such a plan, it will, with many remain matter of hesitation, whether our present situation as an extensive, commercial people, naturally exposed to luxury and its concomitant evils, yet in the possession of its advantages and enjoyments, is not preferable to a state of apathetic existence, shut out from the concerns, the sorrows and the joys of the rest of the earth, or never roused to a contemplation
of others or their improvements, but to behold them with the jaundiced eye of narrow minded prejudice.
If then we are still to continue a commercial people, and are not doomed to a seclusion from the rest of the world, or to be holding none but our own mandarines with admiration, or ourselves with illiberal preference, it is necessary that we adopt some effectual mean of preserving the great ends of government, without attempting the execution of a change. And, principally it is to be wished, nay to be expected, that we join cordially in the great and necessary work, of progressing in wealth, liberty and happiness at home, and of securing to ourselves by a firm and steadfast coalition of support, to each other, a fear from other nations, of insulting us or violating our rights.
JULIAN.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN (ALBANY) CRISIS.
LETTER IV.
From Mr. Richard Saunders, to a friend in a neighboring state:
YOU still harp, my friend, on the gag law and the direct tax, and the moderation of Mr. Jefferson in not prosecuting those who calumniated him. The truth is he dared not to do it; I told you before that I did not like this bringing men's private failings before the world—Strike at their vices if you please, which tend to the ruin of their country, but let their private chamber vices alone, if there are any private vices, which do not more or less tend to make them unfit for a high station—You know very well however, that Mr. Jefferson's moderation and contempt of the charges were not reasons of his silence—Ely in Massachusetts, and the men in Connecticut said so much against your President, and that in so public a manner that his friends tho' themselves obliged to call them to account. Was the business ever prosecuted? No, nor never will be; your President knew better than to let them bring their proof. The direct tax was made a bug bear of by the designing office-hunters—You know they told most abominable lies about it—said the hearths and window lights were taxed, and a thousand other stories equally devoid of truth. The fact was that the great land holders paid the tax—My neighbor McC—b, who owns wild lands on the lake paid more tax than all the county beside—there was not a man in our town who paid 3 dollars—No, they lied to the people, and told them John Adams was to be king, and they were to have lords and a standing army, & their children were to be taken away from them and made Eunuchs of to guard the king's palace, and all such stuff, and scared them to death, but now they begin to find out the difference between king Adams, as they called him, and king Jefferson, or rather king Democrat. An honest man of your party told me t'other day, that it was not so much for the tax itself, for it cost him but little, but it was upstart fellows that collected it, that made him mad—they put men in as collectors, said he, who were surly and overbearing, but I see, said he, that our own people are going on in the same way. Our office-men are beginning to ride over poor people; I was knocked down, because I said, I had a right to carry my produce from Washington to Lake Champlain, and threatened by the sheriff, if ever I dared to say such a thing again, he would send me to jail—I see, said the man, that he who will be long in power they get too saucy, and trample on the poor people.
It may have been that the federalists rode the high horse; but they never, my friend, gallopped him at the rate your friends have done; it is true they laid a dry tax, and an embargo for thirty days, and began to raise an army because they expected a French invasion—Your party raise an army when every body knows the British will not come—and the French cannot come. Your embargo is eternal and takes from us more in an hour than all the dry and wet taxes we have ever paid. Tom Leiper and Tench Cox and Billy Dun, the French printer, said the people like it—We shall see if this is true. I know that the people in our to-his aristocrats and democrats, whigs and tories, all say that it is a dreadful tax, which they don't see the use of. Suppose you do starve 50,000 British, what good will that do you—it won't make our situation any better. Will it pay our debts? Your friends call it a dignified attitude. I would, however, rather sit double on a load of wheat for which I expected to get 12s a bushel, than go to prison in a dignified attitude. No, the attitude to which we are coming as fast as we can, is the creeping, begging attitude! We must creep to Virginia and creep to France, and creep to De Witt Clinton and the other great men of the nation, before long—Yes, I know that though governor Clinton, as a northern man, may

like the embargo which he sees is ruin- ing his friends, as well as his enemies; he would not dare, was he president to-morrow, to do away; the party at the northward, would be afraid that if he did, the party at the southward would quit them. No, no, whatever democrat signs, the same measures will be pursued. The Jefferson and Madison and Monroe men wish to destroy the northern commerce, are getting richer and more powerful as they are; and the Clinton men will a- see with their brethren for fear of the loss of power. You know how things are going as well as I do, you can see. Did you ever hear of such dreadful tyranny as we span under—neither flour nor bread nor anything else can be brought from one part of the U. States to another without governor Sullivan or governor Langdon, or some o- ther democratic governor shall give a per- mit. The stamp act was a fool to this. It was worse than the inquisition! Why, sir, there is not a king in Europe but Bonaparte that would dare to do such a thing—not let our own citizens eat without a permit! If merchants or others break the laws, punish them—cut their heads off if you please— but don't starve your own people for fear the British should get a bit of bread. It is bad enough for us whose grain is rotting—but it is infinitely worse for our poor eastern neigh- bors who know where it is, but can't get it. I am always, notwithstanding our political differences, your friend, RICHARD SAUNDERS.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
SATURDAY, JULY 23.
The President of the United States left the City of Washington on Wednesday last for Monticello. The Secretary of the Treasury has also left the city for New-York.
The government schooner Hope, Captain Woodward, sailed yesterday. She carries out two messengers. Capt. Haley to France, and Mr. Atwater to England. Captain Haley will be landed at Havre-de-Grace, while Mr. At- water will repair to England. On the return of Captain Haley from Paris, the Hope will sail for England, whence she will return to this place with Captain Haley and Mr. Atwa- ter.—National Intelligencer.
An article in the Gazette of the United States, states: "We have heard it asserted from VERY HIGH AUTHORITY, that no re- monstrance, proposals or communications of any kind were sent to England in the Osage by this government, nor had our minister, Mr. Pinkney, made any to Mr. Secretary Canning by order of the President." The publication adds, that Mr. Pinkney "made some suggestions, of his own upon the or- ders in council, which were not answered by Mr. Canning, because he assured him he would send in a written representation on the subject, which he never did make at the time or since."
These statements are conformable with what are now circulated in the best informed circles here, together with several others of the same weight, in showing the existence of coldness and distance observed by our ad- ministration on the one hand, and on the o- ther an assiduous solicitation of France, not discouraged by repulses of the most mortify- ing kind. The expectation of the nation, and of every one who felt the importance of its fate, as suspended upon the terms and de- mands which were to be disclosed on the arrival of the Osage in Europe, was wound up to the highest pitch, who were wait- ing anxiously for her return, and invoc- ing every favorable breeze to hasten it. But this vessel, it seems, carried out no dis- patches to one of the great powers, against whom resentments were kindled alike by her own conduct, and the exaggerations of her American enemies; and she brings home from the other, an account of a more extended system of injury. What a condi- tion of embarrassment! What is left, but to rectify the wish, that the original idea had prevailed and been enforced by being reduced into a law laying an embargo up- on all vessels and water craft whatever; thus putting an end to foreign trade and do- mestic communication. The people have become fretful and irritated by adding one complex provision to another, by way of amendment: and they have contracted no respectful ideas of the legislative wisdom, which deals in so much mutability. Per- fection might have been attained at once, but for the interference of bungling advisers, who arrested the hand of the master Artifi- cer of Misery, by their scruples.
Seven days elapsed, from the receipt of the dispatches in France, before the depar- ture of Bonaparte for Spain, and though the Osage remained there between thirty and forty days, it is believed that the message
she carried out has received no other answer than the Bayonne decree, authorising indis- criminate captures. To comprehend the full scope of Bonaparte's treatment of our administration—(I blush to say of the na- tion; for I hope they will repel it, at the maturity of things) it is necessary to recol- lect the time of its issuing, and we shall perceive in that circumstance and the work- ings of his haughty mind, the probable cause of it. Indignant and disappointed at seeing the measures of our government, though of a nature to favor his policy and his prejudi- ces, stop short in their progress at a point not coming up to his will; at the first leisure moment he finds on his journey, he issues general reprisals against us; for of that and no other nature is the Bayonne decree, not- withstanding the attempts to palliate and e- ven to justify it, by the friends to France, and the enemies of their own country. And pray, what more was necessary to complete his hostile carriage towards us? He had al- ready confiscated much of our property, de- tained the rest in all the ports under his con- trol, forbidden us to trade with England or in English goods, or to be spoken by an En- glish vessel. Nothing remained but to seize every thing upon the ocean, with no other rule of exception, than the slenderness of his means of capture. [North American.]
General Sutton, brother to Sir Robert Sutton, was very passionate, and calling one morning on Sir Robert Walpole, who was quite the reverse, found his servant shaving him. During the conversation, Sir Robert said "John you cut me;" and con- tinued the former subject of discourse.— Presently he said again, "John you cut me;" but as mildly as before; and soon after he had occasion to say it a third time; when Sutton, starting up in a rage, said, swearing a great oath, and doubling his fist at the servant, "if Sir Robert can bear it I cannot; and if you cut him once more, John, I'll knock you down."
BLACKBERRY SIRUP.
THE present not only being a seasonable time to prepare this valuable medicine, but to recommend its usefulness, particularly amongst Children afflicted with bowel com- plaints—a feeling mother offers the following receipt for public benefit.
Take the fruit before very ripe, extract the juice, and to each quart add one pound of white Sugar, skim and boil it about half an hour, when cool enough to bottle add a small tea cup full of Brandy. From one to four table spoons full, may be taken frequently, as age and circumstances require.
FROM THE PASTIME.
AN ODE,
Commemorative of the death of Lieutenant Somers , of the American Navy, and his brave companions before Tripoli, in the summer of 1805.
BY THE LATE MR. BLAUVELT.
Commodore Preble, with a view as much as possible to harass the enemy, ordered the ketch Intrepid to be filled with materials for a destructive explosion, and gave the conduct of her to Lieutenants Somers, Wadsworth, Israel, and a few others—Their orders were to approach, under cover of the night, as near as they could to the town and batteries, and after firing a train, provided for that purpose, to make their escape in boats. A premature discovery of them by the enemy, rendered it impossible for them, either to reach the sta- tion which they contemplated, or to make their escape; and these brave men, with an intrepidity almost beyond parallel, preferring death to an ignominious servitude, set fire to the train, and were blown with their enemies into the air. This catastrophe is made the subject of the following Ode.
Recitative.
Dark is the night, and deep and low'ring Hang its shadow o'er the main; On the billow awful tow'ring, Yonder glide the warrior train! Not a star betrays their motion: Hush'd unseen, they hold their way— Sullen as the calm of ocean, At the lurid close of day. Lo! the fleet with valor steering, Dimly skirts the western sky; Hope and doubt alternate beaming From the war instructed eye. Preble there serene presiding, Distant marks the floating death, Toward the castle darkly gliding, Aided by the breeze's breath.
Air.
Chief of daring! thine is glory Far beyond the reach of fate; Slain—immortalized in story, Living valorous and great! Thine the calm heroic spirit, Firm to act, and bold to dare; Or to mark the meed of merit, Or the Hero's grave to share!
Recitative.
Now the bark in distance fading, Glooms beneath the turret steep, Not a sound the ear invading Save the murmur of the deep.
Surely she has gained her station, Lost in distance and in gloom— 'Tis the pause of expectation! 'Tis the silence of the tomb!
Air.
Warriors rue the gale that bore them. Rue the gloom that wrapt the skies! Never shall the sun restore them, To your valor-weeping eyes! Shield them. Heav'n, and tn' explosion! Quickly waft them from the shore— Who can bear the swift concussion? Who can list the sudden roar?
Recitative.
See the flash one moment shining: Ocean, earth and Heav'n illum! Now again tis lost! resigning Heav'n and earth and sea to gloom. Horror all, and wild commotion— Shrieks of millions from the shore— Gleaming on the sulp'rous ocean, Cannons burst with rapid roar. Atlas trembling hears the thunder Bellow thro' his shores below; Sees his tawny sons of plunder Frighted fly, without a foe.
Air (by the Turks.)
Allah! whence this dire undoing Rushing thro' the troubled air? Save, oh save thy race from ruin, Shield the faithful from despair!
Recitative.
O'er the scene, at length, reposing Wrapt in desolation's reign; Morn reluctantly disclosing, Faintly glides the eastern plain.
Chorus (by the crews.)
Rise in haste oh God of splendor! Valor bids the swiftly rise; Triumph to the deeds we'll render Vail'd by midnight from our eyes. Hail the wave that to our wishes, Proudly wafts the daring few! Hail the dawn that bears propitious Fame and Somers to his crew.
Recitative.
Morning breaks—but ah, to languish! Lurid was the light it shed. O'er the enquiring eye of anguish, For the warriors-train is fled.
Air 1st.
Gallant Warrior! well attended Rush'd your valour to its grave: Many a foe convulsive rended, Grimly sank beneath the wave. Well aveng'd ere long you'll number, Victims wail'ring, pale and low; Many a Turk, in icy slumbers, Soon shall knit the savage brow. Gen'rous Youths! your story telling, Tho' a sigh suspend the breath; Ev'ry nerve to frenzy swelling Claims a victory from death.
Air 2d.
Heralds of our country's glory Dawning on the path of time! Age shall kindle at your story, Cherish'd oft in future rhyme; For the Bard on Fame attending, Shall enraptured by thy tale, O'er his harp of legend bending, Give your glories to the gale, Beauty, too, a wreath bestowing, Bids it flourish round your bier; Ever in remembrance glowing, Ever water'd by her tear.
Air 3d.
Often shall the Arab wander From his hills of sunny sand, On your deeds of fame to ponder, Circled by his list'ning band— "Perished here," he'll say, "the stranger, When the star of night was high; Like thee, Christian, braving danger, C'et mine like thee to die!"

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