HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, March 14.
The Speaker laid before the house a letter from the secretary of the treasury, accompanying a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the government for the year 1806, proposed in pursuance of the law of 1791. Referred to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. Van Eorn presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of the city of Washington, praying some alterations to be made in the act repealing the twenty dollar law.
Referred to the standing committee on the affairs of the district of Columbia.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Macon, and adopted, instructing the committee on public lands to enquire into the expediency of allowing additional discounts for purchasers of public lands, for prompt payment.
Mr. J. Clay presented the petition of J. P. Duval, stating that he had at great expense, created a chemical laboratory, for the manufacture of Oil of Vitriol, Marine Acid, &c. &c. not heretofore manufactured in this country. He prays that duties may be imposed on those articles when imported. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
French Affairs.
Mr. Quincey rose for the purpose of offering a resolution, and would avail himself of that practice of the house, to assign some reasons which he hoped would induce gentlemen to consider and adopt it.
At a period like the present, in which every eye beheld dark clouds spreading over the political horizon, and when the whole country began to feel that ruin was fast spreading, he could hardly think it possible that an individual of the house could be opposed to a request for information on those great subjects on which they were called to legislate, and in which their responsibility was deeply involved. When it was recollected that they were in the 20th week of the session, which was probably drawing towards a close, he hoped no motive of delicacy would be suffered to weigh on the decision of the question, but that a sense of duty alone would prevail on that floor. It was high time to ask what is our situation? To gain some official light on our political relations with foreign powers.
When he viewed two great nations of the world, whose power so cruelly interfered with our rights, he could not but be anxious to know in what situation we stood with those powers. He stated it not as a charge against the executive; but with respect to one of those powers, G. Britain, much was known; with respect to the other of those powers, France, scarce anything was known. All parts of the controversy with Great Britain had been spread before them; if they had not been spread before the nation they had before the house—not only the points of controversy, but the correspondence between our government and the American minister at London, and between the minister and the British government. But with respect to the other power our relations were entirely unknown. His resolution was therefore exclusively directed to that one object.
He feared the house would not realize their want of official information, relative to the situation of our affairs with that nation. They were in the habit of receiving light from newspapers on the subject, which they were apt to blend with the little official information they possessed. It was on the latter alone the house ought to act.
He begged the house to go as far back with him as the first session of the ninth congress. At that time our foreign relations began to change—they began to wear a war aspect. In the communication of the president at the opening of that session, he stated our relations with Great Britain and proceeded to the speculation of certain infractions of our neutral rights on the part of that power. He stated our relations with Spain, and specified certain irregularities on her part; but there was not a single word in all the message on the subject of our relations with France. He could not but mention this as a characteristic fact—the same omission had been made every session since. He did not state it as a charge against the president but he stated it as a fact, and as an argument in favor of the resolution which he meant to offer. If they went a little further on in the session they would find that there did exist some differences between us and France. On the 10th of January in consequence of a call for information by the senate when the St. Domingo bill was un-
der discussion, a message was sent to that body, from which it appeared that a very extraordinary correspondence had taken place between our government and the French minister. He would not describe the nature of this correspondence, but would read some extracts from it to show that there were differences existing with France, which ought to be known to the legislature. [Here Mr. Quincey read the extracts] The only use which he meant to make of these quotations was, to show to the house that communications had taken place between Gen. Armstrong and the French government at that time, and that that nation was not inattentive to its interests with this country. He would not stop to remark on the tenor and force of the language used by the minister of that government. It had been long known that their mode of supplication & demand were so extremely alike, that they were not easily distinguished. The residue of the information given that session would be in a very narrow compass. There was enough on the subject of our relations with Great Britain and Spain: but the only information given relative to France was on a call of the senate relative to some principles interpolated into the law of nations—No information was given to the house whether a correspondence had ever taken place on that subject between Gen. Armstrong & the French government.
He would now proceed to a second period of executive communication, and examine the message at the last session. It would be found to bear the same characteristic mark. They were there told that hopes were entertained of a favorable issue to our differences with England—that Spain had violated our territory; but not a word was said on the subject of our relations with France. Had it not been that her name incidentally occurred in mentioning our relations with Spain, they would not have known from those two communications, that such a nation as France existed, though the Barbary powers and our Indian neighbors make a conspicuous figure in both.
In a communication of the 19th of February, 1807, something was said on the subject of our French concerns. He would read a part of that message, as he should find some arguments upon it. It would be recollected, that the French decree of November 1806, was subject to two constructions, one affecting, the other not affecting our commerce. General Armstrong applied to the minister of marine for an explanation of that decree.—That minister gave the following answer, to which he would solicit the attention of the house.
[Mr. Quincey here read the answer of the minister of marine and of colonies to general Armstrong.]
Mr. Quincey begged the house to recollect the reference, while he proceeded on till the commencement of the present session. In the communication which was then made, the president informed the house of a rejection of a certain treaty which had been made with G. Britain—of the attack on the Chesapeake—that our differences with Spain remained unsettled; but in relation to our connexions with France, not one word was said, except under the general expression that in our relations with the other nations of Europe our harmony has been uninterrupted.
Whether this was sufficient or not, the house must determine. So much for public information.
With respect to private information, he did not know that there was any impropriety in stating what it was—at least there could be no impropriety in stating to the house what it had not. They had not any communication from general Armstrong as to the conduct of the French government towards our commerce, or his opinion of their dispositions towards us. He supposed that in the late secret message of the president, in which he said there was no impropriety of talking on the subject of any of the documents therewith transmitted that he meant they should be argued from on that floor. He would therefore notice some of those documents.—A letter from Gen. Armstrong, of the 12th of November, and a letter from Champagny to him, was the only information given, except the decree of the tribunal at Morlaix.—The first in order was the letter of Champagny, which was written in answer to one from Gen. A. not on any general regulation, but relative to certain vessels which had been carried into Spain, under a decree similar to that of France. This he begged the house to notice.
The letter of the 12th of Nov. was also relative to a decision of the tribunal of prizes in a particular case, under the decree of November. In this letter Gen. Armstrong referred to a letter of the 7th of October, which Champagny had addressed to him, and from a quotation made from that letter, it was evident that an explanation had been given, by the minister of exterior relations, of the intentions of that government towards us. Here was an important fact developed. That those important documents did exist, was a kind of moral certainty. If it then was a fact that no after regulations had taken place, still the resolution ought to carry; for if general Arm-
strong had neglected to transmit that explanation to his government, it was such a dereliction of duty as ought to be known to the house, that they might prefer an impeachment against him.
He had confined the resolution to our intercourse with France, because there was the greatest want of information on the subject. It was the duty of the house to possess themselves of the regulations of the great foreign powers affecting our commerce. What reason was there for not asking for documents? Were they not important? Were they to go to war, and with whom? The modification of our military force would depend much on the power with which we were to go to war, if at all. It was surely important then to know in what situation we stood with those powers.—He knew of but one reason against the adoption of the resolution which he was about to offer, and that had been frequently urged—it was confidence in the executive. There ought, he said, to be a proper, constitutional confidence reposed in the executive, nor did he think this call inconsistent with that confidence. But it was farther said it was the constitutional duty of the president to communicate information to congress, and the call would be expressive of an opinion that he had neglected his duty. He did not so consider it. But it was no time for the house to be prevented by refined scruples of delicacy, from obtaining all the information within their reach, of the dispositions of foreign governments, and it was at this time peculiarly important to know the disposition of that government towards us.
Mr. Quincey then offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the president of the United States be requested to communicate to the house the dispatches addressed by the American minister at Paris, touching the proceedings of the French government in relation to neutral commerce, which have been received since the dispatches of that minister which were communicated to congress by message on the 19th Feb. 1807.
The ayes and noes were demanded on agreeing to consider the resolution. The house refused to consider it—ayes 44—noes 66.
Mr. Gardner called for the order of the day on the bill further to prolong the continuance of the mint at Philadelphia.
Mr. Love moved to postpone that order of the day until this day week, and alleged some reasons why the postponement should take place.
Mr. W. Alston observed, that the bill could be passed in less time than the gentleman had taken to support his motion.
The question of postponement was lost, and the house went into committee of the whole on the bill, Mr. Cutts in the chair. There was some doubt whether the former act on this subject had expired the fourth instant or continued in force until the fourth of next March. The difficulty arose in this way.—The former law provided that the mint should continue at Philadelphia "for the term of five years from the fourth of March next." The law was approved by the president on the 3d of March, 1803, and the question now is, whether the term of five years is to be computed from the next fourth of March, which would be the day after it was signed, or the fourth of the next March, which would bring the commencement of the term to March, 1804. In order to have time to settle this moot point of legal criticism, as difficult as the case of the black and white horses, it was moved that the committee should rise. After some debate, in which much philological learning, critical acumen, and logical acuteness were evinced, the motion to rise was lost. Some amendments having been made, they, with the bill, were reported to the house, and concurred in. The bill was ordered to a third reading to-morrow. It provides for the continuance of the mint at Philadelphia for five years from the fourth of March next.
The house took up the consideration of the report of the military committee on the bill for augmenting the military force. Mr. Rowan moved to commit it to a committee of the whole, which prevailed. It was made the order for to-morrow. Adjourned.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
GLOUCESTER, March 6.
Yesterday arrived here, brig Active, Foster, 18 days from Guadalupe; and Evelina, Twycross, 26 days from St. Croix, West-End. Captain T. reports, that the planters were much alarmed at the news of our embargo; that markets rose very much, and that a vessel blown off the coast, from Philadelphia, arrived there with 1000 barrels of flour, which was sold for 20 dollars per barrel; and that he did not believe there was one month's provisions in the island; that the French privateers take all American vessels they meet with, from English ports, and condemn them, and have carried a number into Porto Rico; and that the captains of the English frigates at St. Croix offered to convoy all American vessels as far as lat. 25, but in general they came out singly, and took their chance.
NEW YORK, March 15.
Last evening arrived at this port the ship Amiable Matilda, Hillard, in 42 days from Gibraltar; and capt. H. has lately been the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of Gibraltar papers to the last of January, and the following valuable list of vessels laying in that harbor at the time of his departure.
GIBRALTAR, Jan. 23.
Positive information has been received, that the combined French and Spanish squadrons were lying at anchor in Cadiz Bay, apparently watching a favorable opportunity to effect their escape.
[Ship-News.]
Captain Hillard sailed in company with ship Hare, Barry, of New York for Falmouth, with her outward cargo, having been turned off from Lisbon; ship Washington, Stanton, of New London for New York, detained on his passage from Valentia, but released; ship Amsterdam Packet, Williams, of and for Philadelphia, with her outward cargo, having been turned off from Marseilles; ship Iris, Conway, of and for Salem, in ballast, from Algesiras; brig Mary, Crofts, of New York, from Marseilles, for New Orleans, put in for convoy through the Gut; brig Susan and Betsy, Vanduyne, of New York, from Barcelona, for New Orleans, put in for convoy thro' the Gut; schr. John and William, Hedge, of and for Boston, who unfortunately got dashed near the Spanish shore, and was taken possession of by the batteries and gun boats and carried for Algesiras. Captain Hedge, however, finding it impossible to escape with the vessel, abandoned her and took the boat, with all his crew, and the amount of his outward cargo, which was on board in specie, and got safe on board an English man of war brig; schooner name and destination not known.
Last ship Rachel, Josephs, of and for Salem, first convoy; ship Commerce, Drew, of and for Baltimore, first convoy; ships Wells, Lampson, of Salem, for Palermo, put in in consequence of the late orders and decrees, destination uncertain; ship Calpe, Moore, of and for Alexandria, first convoy; ship Maria Theresa, Peacock, of and from New York, turned off from Lisbon, and proceed to England first convoy; ship Erati, Burnett, of and from New York, for Palermo, but expects to return direct to New York or proceed for England; ship Anne, Davis, of and from Boston, for Smyrna, but detained, libelled & expected will be condemned; ship Hero, Barnard, of and from New York, for Leghorn, but turned off and expected to return direct for New York, or proceed for England; ship William Gray, Tate, of and from Salem for Leghorn, turned off and expected to sail direct for Salem, or proceed to England; brig Paulina, Swazey, of Boston, for Liverpool, first convoy; brig Echo, Forman, of Boston, put in in distress, and condemned as unfit for sea; brig Sophia, Arundell, of and from Philadelphia for Algiers, but in consequence of existing decrees put into Gibraltar; brig Neptune, —, of and for Baltimore, from Leghorn, deserted by her crew off Cartagena, taken possession of by the Renomme frigate and sent into Gibraltar, the captain and crew had arrived in Gibraltar before the Amiable Matilda sailed, and expected to get the vessel again by paying a high salvage; brig Harriet, Leach, of and from Salem, for Leghorn, turned off and sails for Salem first convoy; brig Rattlesnake, Breck, of and from Boston for Leghorn, put in in distress; brig Delight, Gray, of and from Providence, for Cadiz, turned off, discharged in Gibraltar, and sails for Providence first convoy; brig Mary, Davis, from Boston for Barcelona, but sails for Boston or England first; brig Venus, Allen, of Dartmouth, from New York for Leghorn, turned off and sails for England first convoy; brig Quantilycook, Hudson, of New York, from Nantes for Lisbon, detained, libelled and waiting trial; brig Industry, Hitchcock, of and from New York for Barcelona, taken and condemned, vessel and cargo, for passing Gibraltar without stopping after being warned, although proceeding for Malta; brig Tyger, Farley, of and from Baltimore, time of sailing uncertain; brig Benjamin and Nancy, Mayes, of Newburyport, from Alicante for London, first convoy; brig Calisto, Tyler, of and from Boston for St. Lucar, detained, libelled and waiting trial; brig Argus, Hallowell, of and from Providence for Leghorn, but returns direct for Providence; brig Augusta, Noble, of and from Salem, destination and time of sailing uncertain; schooner Palladium, Weld, for Boston, uncertain; schooner Atlanta, Smith, of Duxbury, from London for Alicante, but stranded and lost on the Bank of Gibraltar, on the first of January; left several other Americans names not recollected.
About the 25th January the governor of Gibraltar had declined granting permission for vessels with colonial produce, bound up the Mediterranean, to proceed on their voyages, although having stopped at Gibraltar ages, although having been warned, or even in consequence of having been warned, or even to grant permission to those vessels to return to America without first going to England and to pay a duty on their cargoes. Frequent petitions had been made by the masters and supercargoes of vessels then in Gibraltar for clearances, without effect: and it was generally feared that he would not clear any vessels with colonial produce for any other place.

except England, from whatever cause they might have touched at Gibraltar. Several were fortunate enough to get their clearances, and were America previous to the governor's coming to that determination. January 23d, arrived in Gibraltar 24 large transports full of troops, being part of 62 sail that left England with troops on a private expedition. Accompanying troops were received in Gibraltar that some counts were received in distress: of the other 38 sail had put back in distress but it was much feared that part of them had been taken by a French squadron of 4 sail. In Gibraltar the object of the expedition is expected to be to take possession of Ceuta.
From the 8th to the 27th January, the Spanish gun-boats carried into Algeciras twelve sail of American vessels, most of which were taken in, under the French and Spanish decrees. None were condemned on the 28th, but it was expected all would be indiscriminately; the batteries very frequently firing a salute on the arrival of a prize, which they seldom do except very sure of a good prize.
Captain Avery, of the ship Franklin, from Marseilles, who arrived at this port yesterday, informs, that he was boarded on the 10th of March, in lat. 36, 90, long. 74, by the British frigate Eurydice, captain Bolten, in company with 5 line of battle ships, in chase of 6 sail of French ships of war, which capt. A. saw on the 4th, in lat. 27, 18, long. 69, steering North by West.
Arrived, brig Thetis, Dolliver, in 20 days from New-Orleans, and 13 days from the Balize. Left the brig Friendship, Doo, for New York in 6 days; brig Holkar, Bain, for do. uncertain; brig Moses Gill, Patterson, do. do.; and several others. The Exchange, of New York, had cleared out. March 8, spoke ship Pierre, Manning, 20 days from Havanna, for Charleston. 11th, lat. 23, long. 75, spoke sch. Charming Nancy, Davis, 20 days from Havanna, for Gloucester. The baggage of gen. Moreau came in the Thetis, and it was supposed the general would return by land. His visit created great suspicion, on account of his intimacy with the Spanish officers.
BALTIMORE, March 15. LOSS of the ship Susan of Providence, R. I. James Bird, master. The Susan sailed from the Havanna, on the 21 September last, with a cargo of sugar for New York. Immediately after putting to sea, the wind sprung up a head and continued to blow a gale for several days, occasionally accompanied with rain, thunder and lightning. The ship, by laboring hard, sprung a leak on one side of her stern posts, which was stopped. The weather continued to be tempestuous and the leak was renewed by the laboring of the ship and the press of sail she was obliged to carry to keep, if possible, off the Florida shore. On the 6th, at day light, she was discovered to be in seventeen fathom water, a small island of about three acres to the leeward, surrounded with heavy breakers and a strong current setting in to the lee shore. The anchors were let go, but ineffectually. At half past five she struck, cut away the masts to ease her hull, the sea breaking completely over her; cut away the grips of the long boat and got under the lee of the wreck, when eleven of the crew with difficulty got in it, and made for the shore; three were violently thrown from the wreck by the swell, and four secured themselves on a plank, and happily at half past seven, all hands reached the shore. Those who were able endeavored to secure what they could of provisions from the wreck; the island afforded nothing. After securing a very slender stock of provisions & liquors, erected a temporary hut, made a fire and reposed in the arms of sleep. The crew saved barely enough of clothing to cover their nakedness. The passengers more fortunate, recovered two trunks.
From the 7th September to the 4th of October were coasting the range of islands and endeavoring to make for the Mississippi, on short allowance, sometimes procuring a few shell fish. On one of the islands discovered three graves, appearing to contain the bodies of some unfortunate Americans, which we bedewed with tears, expecting to share a similar fate. After having made the main land, coasting along in search of some vestiges of civilization. While coasting, two of the men, Joseph Cornelius and Jeremiah Lippit, went into the interior, determining not to return to the boat. Our two dogs fell a sacrifice to the imperious mandate of hunger. On the 15th October we discovered a Spanish centinel, to whom we made known our distresses, who immediately supplied us with provisions. Next day, ten soldiers and an officer came down to relieve guard. By their assistance we reached, in three days, San Fernando, where we were obliged to remain more than two months, waiting for passports from the viceroy of Mexico. Vidal, the commandant, the officers and the people treated us with all the hospitality imaginable. Being furnished with a horse and provisions, we passed on to Tompico by land, where we remained one month before any vessel sailed for Vera Cruz. At Vera Cruz we separated on
board of different vessels for the U. States. Wherever misfortune led us, we experienced unbounded hospitality from the Spaniards. Captain Bird, with two of his seamen, arrived at this port on Thursday last, in the Spencer, captain Ferral, belonging to Baltimore, to whom captain Bird renders his grateful acknowledgments for his gentlemanly treatment during the passage.
March 16. By the Happy Couple, captain Lovell, we have received New Orleans papers to the 14th February. They contain nothing of importance. By the same conveyance we are favored with a short letter from our correspondents, dated thirteenth February, from which it does not appear that any disturbance was apprehended; as they make no mention either of French officers or disaffected citizens.

March 10, lat. 34, long. 72, spoke brig Mary, McCutcheon, three days from Philadelphia for New Orleans, who the day before had spoken a ship from Batavia for Baltimore. March 13, came into the Capes—saw five British ships of the line and one frigate at anchor outside. Came up the bay with the schooner Paragon, of Alexandria.
NORFOLK, March 14.
On Saturday evening a British fleet of 5 sail of the line and a frigate, anchored off our capes, consisting of the
 Royal George of 100 guns.  Neptune 98  Temeraire 98  Dragon 80  Tonnant 80  Eurydice 32 
Under the command of sir John Thomas Duckworth. This fleet sailed from England on the 17th Jan. His Britannic majesty's consul communicated to the editor of this paper the following circumstances:—That this fleet sailed in pursuit of the Rochefort squadron, which had escaped from that port composed of the following ships.
 Majestique 120 guns.  Lys 74  Ajax 80  Suffrein 74  Magnanime 74  Jemappe 74  Flora 24  Surveillant brig. 
Admiral Duckworth steered first for Madeira, near which island he spoke the British frigate Comus, captain Piercy, who informed him that he had been chased a few days before by a French line of battle ship and frigate, had nearly been captured. Admiral D. then proceeded to the West-Indies, from whence he came to our Capes. The consul further informed us that sir John Duckworth has forwarded to him a dispatch for Mr. Rose, at Washington, in which he states (we understand from the consul) that the appearance of his fleet so unexpectedly at this juncture, may excite some sensation in the American government, and requests that Mr. Rose would immediately communicate to our government the cause of his coming upon this coast.
These are all the particulars which we are informed of from an authentic source. Report says, and as proceeding from a British officer that there are 3000 troops on board this fleet. Col. Hamilton was asked if there were any troops on board he replied not to his knowledge. The number however far exceeds what could be carried in that number of ships.
The British ships were yesterday anchored to the southward of the capes. The Rochefort fleet may probably pay a visit to the Brazils, where they might have effected something if the British admiral had

A few days since a bill was introduced into the lower house of the legislature of this territory, the object of which is to prevent the sale of lands or tenements, goods, or chattels, for any amount above 100 dollars on writs of execution, during the continuance of the embargo. The bill was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole on Monday next.
A petition is now in circulation against the passage of the bill; and we understand has already obtained the signatures of a great proportion of the most respectable inhabitants of this city.
From Lloyd's Evening Post, London, January 11.
AMERICA. —We are extremely solicitous to learn what effect will be produced in America by our order of a general blockade. It is not likely that we shall be long kept in suspense, for a vessel which sailed from Liverpool immediately after these orders were issued, is known to have anchored in Boston bay so early as the 7th of December. It is probable that the American government were pretty well prepared to expect such a measure, both by the reports of Mr. Monroe, and by the previous statements in our public journals. Indeed, a letter was on Saturday received by a respectable house in the city, from New York, which states, that it was confidently expected in that city, and orders would be speedily issued for an embargo upon all British ships in American ports, and for a suspension of all commercial intercourse with this country. We have not been able to ascertain the date of the letter, but it is very much at variance with others of a very recent date which we have seen from the same city.
To judge from the general sentiments of our merchants, one would be induced to consider war with America as inevitable. As yet, however, we dissent from that opinion, for we cannot believe that the American government, and still less the American people, will run headlong to their own ruin. Among those of our merchants who do not trade with the U. States, the name of Americans is as odious as the Dutch were to our ancestors in the days of Cromwell, and, in this quarter, a war would, of course, be highly popular—Even of the merchants trading to America, the major part are disposed to take all hazards of war, rather than abate a title of our national demands; so that it is chiefly to our manufacturers that the prospect of such a contest is matter of alarm.
Preservation of Potatoes. —The operation consists in placing the potatoes in a net or open basket; this is to be plunged into boiling hot water for the space of a minute, the potatoes are then to be taken out and dried, and afterwards to be kept spread out on the floor of a granary, exposed to a free ventilation of air; care be taken that they be not heaped upon each other. The effect of the immersion is to destroy the power of vegetation, which, from the saccharine matter produced in that process, occasions the sweet taste which potatoes possess in the spring and beginning of summer.

Mount-Washington for Sale.
I will sell my FARM in Fairfax county, and give immediate possession. It is less than three miles from Alexandria, and six from the George-Town ferry—the distance from the projected bridge will be less—the house stands on an elevated hill, and overlooks the City, Alexandria, the river, with the shore, and hills of Maryland. The house which I erected, and is nearly finished, consists of a center house two stories high, and wings of one, joined to it, by circular corridors, the north wing contains 2 small rooms, the front of it, and the corridor adjoining, intended for a green house, this leads to a drawing room—a dining room separated from it by the passage and stair-case, is next to the south corridor which contains 3 closets, and leads to the kitchen—two small rooms in this wing with the kitchen—a pump of excellent water at the door. The second story of the center house contains 3 chambers and a dressing room, with fire places—a large closet adjoins the dining room—one of the same size opens on the stair case, both fitted up with shelves—a store room in the garret, and cupulo on the house top, from whence is seen a delightful, variegated landscape, completes the description of the mansion house. A neat cottage accommodates laborers, and there are stables, a carriage house, and ice house; the farm contains 193 acres, 70 enclosed and cultivated, the rest in wood; this place boasts the finest collection of fruit that I have seen, besides every other sort; the list given to me was 300 apples, 800 peaches, and 300 cherry trees: I have added several hundred of the best kinds.—The garden consists of 12 large squares, the soil enriched and borders filled with fruit trees, and bushes; it is surrounded by a live cedar hedge, which also extends on each side of the house: the former proprietor possessed much taste, and collected many ornamental trees and shrubs, which are judiciously disposed about the grounds. The soil is suitable for grass, and the portion of ground devoted to timothy and clover, yield an abundant crop; it produced good wheat and oats last year, and I think with small expense may be rendered productive. Those who wish a residence, where health will be preserved, and convenience of intercourse with Alexandria, George-Town, and the seat of government, will find all combined in Mount-Washington. I will shew the premises and impart the terms of sale, upon applications by letters directed to the Post-Office, Alexandria.

GREAT BARGAIN.
INTENDING to remove to the state of Tennessee as soon as possible, I wish to dispose of the following valuable and increasing property upon low terms, which property I inherited from my ancestors, who have had a legal title to the same for upwards of one hundred years.
One tract well known by the name of Abingdon, being on the Potomac river between Alexandria and George Town, and nearly opposite the city of Washington, carefully situated, containing about Four Hundred acres, now leased to the Mr. Wises for three hundred and sixty dollars per annum with other stipulations contained in the said lease.
One other tract contiguous to the first, leased to William Fraser for forty dollars per annum, containing about sixty acres.
One other tract containing ten acres of bottom land, adjoining the Four-Mile Mill tract.
One other tract contiguous to the Abingdon estate, and within two and a half miles of George-Town, containing 725 acres. The greatest part of this land is heavily covered with red and white Oak.
ALSO,
Three thousand acres on the Scioto River, in the state of Ohio.
This tract descended to me from my uncle George D. Alexander, being one moiety of the land he was entitled to for his military services during the revolutionary war. All the title papers with the wills under which I am entitled to the above property, are in the hands of Baldwin Dade, Esq. to whom application will please to be made for terms &c. he being legally authorised to contract and dispose of all the above valuable property, for which good and satisfactory titles will be given.
