HANOVER, (N. H.) Dec. 27.
HORRID MURDER.
It is our painful duty to record a transaction which would draw down sentiments of reproach, and execration, on a Batta or Malay, in his native country, and which must chill the blood which warms the heart of a christian, or even of a Mahometan.
We allude to a late occurrence which took place in the debtor's apartment of the prison at Haverhill, in the county of Grafton—in which, on the evening of the 17th current, a most horrid and unprovoked murder was committed upon Russell Freeman, Esq. and captain Joseph Starkweather, by a brutal assassin in human form, wearing the name of Josiah Burnham, who was with them a fellow prisoner for debt. It was perpetrated in cool blood and without the least provocation. From representations made by the deceased, after the bloody scene was acted, it seems that while Esq. Freeman was seated on a stool, near and in front of the stove which warmed the room, and his then fellow prisoner, Starkweather, was in a closet attached to the room; between the hours of 8 and 9 in the evening, this monster came up behind the former, and with a large knife with two edges, which he had worn concealed under his arm, during his confinement and for many previous months stabbed Mr. Freeman in the body below the ribs, with a repeated and mortal stroke. Mr. F. immediately gave an alarm, which brought Mr. Starkweather from the closet; he was instantly assaulted and received sundry thrusts, and while in the attitude of defending himself with a stick of wood, received a mortal wound under the left arm, which perforated the thorax.
It was impossible to give immediate relief; the goaler was then at a neighbours, and as usual had the keys of the apartments with him; he was immediately called, and on opening the door found the assassin in the act of attempting suicide by stabbing himself; his attempts were however unsuccessful although he made a number of wounds upon himself, two of which entered the body.
Messrs. Freeman and Starkweather were found at this time in a horrid situation, blood streaming from their wounds and falling into the arms of those, who unfortunately came too late for their relief.
Mr. Starkweather expired that night about one o'clock, and Mr. Freeman about ten o'clock the following day, both in post session of their reason. It appeared in evidence, at the examination, that persons standing outside of the door, and who were called there by the cries of the sufferers, through the triangular aperture in the door, saw Burnham stab both Messrs. Freeman and Starkweather—what must have been their situation and feelings? to see their confined fellow creatures cut down by a monster, without the possibility of their affording immediate relief!
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 6.
Our readers are no strangers to the enlightened and indefatigable exertions of colonel Hawkins to ameliorate the condition of the aborigines of the country, by introducing among them the blessings of civilization. The success with which these efforts have been attended in the short period of ten years is without a parallel in the history of savage nations. Convinced that whatever relates to a subject so interesting, and so deservedly dear to the just pride of our countrymen, will be perused with pleasure, we offer them a rich treat in the following striking specimen of Indian eloquence.
IN the year 1797, ISTEHOCHÉ (called by the white people the adjutant) visited the agent for Indian affairs. This old man was esteemed by all who knew him, being an honest man, communicative and jocular, and when a boy was appointed by the chiefs of the Creek nation to make the fire of welcome for general Oglethorpe on his first arrival to take possession of and establish the colony of Georgia. There were then at the residence of the agent, the principal chiefs of the twelve towns of Lower Creeks. Their object was to prevail on the agent to give up the plan of civilization and conform himself to the management of Indian affairs to the caprice and insolence of the Indians. Their conversation on this subject lasted for three days and became insolent in the extreme on the last day. Istehoché remained on his bearskin a silent hearer till the evening of the third day, and then had the following dialogue with the agent.
Istehoché. Father, have not you white people a book which tells when you were created, and where: There are two of
them, a small one attached to a large one, which I remember to have seen when a boy?
Agent. Yes, go on.
Istehoché. Is it true that who Esaugutuh Misse (the master of breath) made you white people, that he made two of you, a man and a woman, and he made a garden for them, and put all the good things in it and gave it to these two white people, and is this in the book?
Agent. Yes, go on.
Istehoché. When he made these two people and every thing for them he called up the woman and gave her a talk. Woman, says he, I have made all these things for you, and they are all good, but the grapes they are not ripe, you must not eat them, and then Esaugutuh Misse left her. Is this in the book?
Agent. Yes, go on.
Istehoché. When Esaugutuh Misse left her and went off, the snake came up and asked what did he say—that the grapes are not ripe? Woman, they are ripe, they are good, eat them; and the woman eat them, is this in the book?
Agent. Yes, go on.
Istehoché. Bye and bye, Esaugutuh Misse came back, and looking round him, exclaims, Ha! ha! who has spoiled my tables? The woman replied, the snake has spoiled your tables; he told me the grapes were ripe, advised me to eat them, and I did eat them. "Did he spoil my tables? Go, then, woman, and mash his head, and tell your children to mash his head." Is this in the book?
Agent. Yes, go on.
Istehoché. I, ever since I heard this story, remember it, and that you white people when you see a snake you kill it. The Talk was not given to me or my people; I never killed a snake. In my hunting or travelling if I see them, they generally give way to me, and if they are cross I give way to them, I suppose something has vexed them, I leave them, there is room enough for me and them. I am now an old man as you see, can just creep about, and my greatest pleasure is to crawl here to see and converse with you, and take a dish of coffee with you. Your plan of civilization I think I comprehend, and I believe it is for the good of my nation. I am very old as you see, and was a hardy lad when gen. Oglethorpe came first to Savannah; then I was appointed by my father to make a fire for him, and welcome him to our land; and when I grew up to manhood, I accompanied him in his attack on St. Augustine against the Spaniards, and from that day to this I have associated much with white people, am greatly attached to them, particularly those in authority, from whom I have received many acts of kindness, and it is a pleasure to me to be able to say to you, that I never stole a skin's worth of property in my life, or did any injury to a white man. I am old as you see, and have seen more than any chief in my land. I have listened to your plan, I am pleased with it, and if I was young, I would soon prove to you that there would be no other difference between us than the color of our skin. I am old as you see; and I firmly believe that Washington, like Esaugutuh Misse , has given a Talk for the salvation of us red people, that you have brought and delivered this Talk to us; that these people are playing the snake, and that unless you take and mash their heads (clenching his fists and knocking his knuckles together repeatedly) you will not succeed in your plan—you will not succeed in your plan.
After this speech, the old man laid himself down on his bearskin, the listening chiefs sat in silence for a few minutes, then rose up, and went off without saying one word.

Latest Foreign News.
By the arrival this morning of the British packet, Manchester, captain Davis, London papers to the 16th of November inclusive have been received at the office of the Commercial Advertiser . The Editor is indebted to the politeness of Mr. Moore agent for the British packets, for a provincial paper, containing an official account of a severe naval action between a division of the English fleet, under admiral sir Richard Strachan, and a detachment of the French fleet from Cadiz. The action terminated in the capture of the whole of the French force, consisting of four line of battle ships.—We this evening publish the official account of this victory, together with interesting particulars from the continent.

SIR, THE accompanying copy of a letter, addressed to the honorable admiral Cornwallis, I request you will be pleased to lay before the Lords Commissioners of the admiralty, with my apology for the hasty manner in which it is written.

CAESAR, November 5.
West of Rochefort, 264 miles, wind s. e.
SIR, BEING off Ferrol, working to the westward, with the wind westwardly, on the evening of the second we observed a frigate in the north west making signals—made all sail to join before night, and followed by the ships named in the margin,* we came up with her at 11 at night—and at the moment she joined we saw six large ships near us. Captain Baker informed me he had been chased by the Rochefort squadron, then close to leeward of us. We were delighted. I desired him to tell the captains of the ships of the line astern to follow me, as I meant to engage them directly—and immediately bore away in the Cæsar for the purpose, making all the signals I could to indicate our movements to our ships; the moon enabled us to see the enemy bear away in a line abreast, closely formed, but we lost sight of them when it set, and I was obliged to reduce our sails, the Hero , Courageux , and the Æolus , being the only ships we could see. We continued steering to the E.N.E. all night, and in the morning observed the Santa Margarita , near us; at nine we discovered the enemy of four sail of the line in the N. E. under all sail. We had also every thing set, and came up with them fast—in the evening we observed three sail astern; and the Phœnix spoke me at night. I found that active officer, captain Baker, had delivered my orders, and I sent him to assist the Santa Margarita in leading us up to the enemy. At day light we were near them, and Santa Margarita had begun in a very gallant manner, to fire upon their rear and was soon re-joined by the Phœnix .
A little before noon, the French finding an action unavoidable began to take in their small sails, and form in a line, bearing on the starboard tack; we did the same and I communicated my intentions by hailing to the captains, "that I should attack the centre and rear," and at noon began the battle; in a short time the van ship of the enemy tacked which almost directly made the action close and general, the Namur joined soon after we tacked, which we did as soon as we could get the ships round, and I directed her by signal, to engage the van; at half past three the action ceased, the enemy having fought to admiration, and not surrendering till their ships were unmanageable. I have returned thanks to the captains of the line and the frigates, and they speak in high terms of approbation of their respective officers and ship's companies. If any thing could add to the good opinion I had already formed of the officers and crew of the Cæsar , it is
* Cæsar , Hero , Courageux , and Namur . Bellona , Æolus , Santa Margarita , far to leeward in the south-east.
their gallant conduct in this day's battle. The enemy have suffered much, but not more than is to be expected on these occasions. You may judge of surprise, sir, when I found the ships had taken, were not the Rochefort squadron, but from Cadiz.
I have the honor, to be, &c.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, Nov. 12.
Copy of a letter from Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Jno. Strachan, bart. to W. Marden, Esquire, dated on board his majesty's ship the Cæsar , off Falmouth, the 8th instant.
SIR,
Not having the official returns when the Æolus left us, and now having occasion to send in the Santa Margarita , to procure pilots to take the French ships into harbor, I transmit you the returns of killed and wounded, in the action of the fourth; and also a copy of the thanks alluded to in my letter, which I request you will communicate to their lordships.
I dare say their lordships will be surprised to find that we have lost so few men. I can only account for it by the enemy being high, and we closing suddenly.
I have the honor, &c.
R. J. STRACHAN.
I have as yet no correct account of the loss of the enemy, or of their number of men.
The Mont Blanc had seven hundred sixty-three killed, and ninety-six wounded, most dangerously.
The Scipion 111 killed and wounded.
The French admiral, Mons. Dumanoir le Pelly, wounded; the captain of the Duguay Trouin , killed; and second captain wounded.

GENERAL MEMORANDA.
Cæsar , at Sea, Nov. 6, 1805.
Having returned thanks to Almighty God for the victory obtained over the French squadron, the senior captain began

to make his grateful acknowledgments for the support he has received from the ships of the line and the frigates; and requests the captains will do him the honor to accept his thanks, and communicate to their respective officers and ships companies, how much he admires their zealous and gallant conduct.

LONDON, November 9.
The occupation of Hanover by the Prussians, which is now confirmed, took place so immediately after the evacuation of that city by the French, as to induce an apprehension that these movements were preconceived by their respective Courts; there was not, however, any communication between the commanding officers on the subject. The French began to move off at 8 o'clock in the morning: their march was announced by express to the Duke of Brunswick, at Hildesheim, who immediately sent a regiment of grenadiers, two regiments of infantry, and one of cavalry, to occupy the city, and to restore its legitimate form of government. Some French commissaries and agents remained in Hanover unmolested, but a false, which one of them had announced, was interdicted.
The loss of the French in the late affair in Suabia has been infinitely greater than Bonaparte has admitted; he estimates the entire at 1,500 men, and does not notice any being made prisoners; yet in the capitulation with General Werneck, the release of the French prisoners is one of the conditions. In the affair near Albeck 3,000 French troops were made prisoners; and they lost according to the German accounts, upwards of 10,000 men, killed and wounded, in the action of Guntersburgh and Albeck.
Mack, whose recent treason has produced such calamitous events in Suabia, was strongly suspected during the last war in Italy to have been bought by France, but his influence at Court unfortunately shifted the charge of his troops. Were it, however otherwise, he has long been rendered incompetent of personal exertions by bodily infirmity; he is generally carried in a litter.
Dispatches are received at the India House, by the Teignmouth Packet, which on Thursday arrived at Plymouth, after a passage of five months from Bengal, which it is reported, announce the surrender of Deeg, Bortpoor Rajah, and that Holkar had been compelled to submit to such conditions of peace as will prevent his again disturbing the tranquillity of India.
The man who killed Lord Nelson, was observed in the act of firing, by a Midshipman on the poop of the Victory; who fired at him, and either killed or wounded him, as he immediately fell down on the quarter deck of the Trinidad. He had previously shot captain Adair, and wounded the Signal Lieutenant, Pasco.
The London Courier of the 15th observes, "We stared yesterday," that a treaty of Offensive and Defensive Alliance had been concluded between Russia and Prussia. By this treaty Prussia engages to make a Common Cause with England, Russia and Austria, if Bonaparte does not accede to the terms of Peace which have been proposed to him. The object of Duroc's mission to Berlin was to invite Prussia either to join France immediately, or in the event of her not joining her, to preserve a strict neutrality. The first proposition was immediately rejected. When Prussia evinced an intention of no longer remaining neutral, and transmitted a note on the 14th ult. to the French Ministers Labouret and Duroc, Bonaparte in answer to that note demanded peremptorily, that Prussia should immediately declare for or against him. The King of Prussia instantly communicated this peremptory demand to the Emperor of Russia, and the two Monarchs in concert, returned an answer, in which they proposed:
"That Naples should be evacuated by the French troops; that the treaty of Luneville should be executed to its full extent; that Switzerland and Holland should be declared independent; and that the regal dignity of Italy be forever separated from the imperial dignity of France. If these propositions were acceded to, Russia promised to evacuate Corsica; but if they were rejected, the Prussian army would commence its operations."
November 16.
An order has been given by government, to a principal broker in the Dutch trade, to engage vessels sailing under Prussian flags for 3 months. The order is not limited to any number of vessels to be engaged, nor does it recite the service for which they are wanted, viz. Whether for the conveyance of troops, provisions, or forage. Be this as it may, the contract is stipulated for three months, to pay 150. per ton per month.
The Tribune fugate, which carried out general Don de Suire, has returned to the Downs. She was not allowed to come into port, but ordered out again in pursuit of two French frigates.
From the Tribune were landed a King's messenger with dispatches, and a Prussian officer of high rank, also the bearer of important dispatches from the court of Berlin. They have both arrived safe in town. The nature of their dispatches has not transpired, but they are believed to relate to the arrangements now making with the Prussian cabinet.
Three Gottenburgh mails arrived yesterday afternoon. The accounts brought by these confirm the arrival of the King of Sweden at Stralsund, accompanied by Baron Armfeldt; the English Ambassador, Mr. Pierrepont, it appears met him
there. An army consisting of twenty five thousand Swedes, and twenty five thousand Russians, immediately prepared to march, and are to be under the immediate command of his Swedish Majesty in person, who has issued a spirited proclamation on the occasion.
His Swedish Majesty will have under him the generals Armfeldt and Wochmeister, as also generals Baron Tarvaft and Von Vegelack.

Copy of a letter from Linzey Riddell, master of the ship Young Elias,* bound to Amsterdam, to his owner in this city, dated
Portsmouth, October 22.
"These few lines will inform you of my being taken by an English sloop of war on the 11th instant, and brought in here on the 13th following, after having experienced contrary winds all the passage (five days); they put us under quarantine 14 days on account of the skins on board; after the quarantine expires they are going to take the ship into the harbour, and for what length of time they will keep her God only knows; they have kept a centry over me, and would not let me write you, or have any communications with our Consul, nor would they permit the Consul to discourse with or see me. Yesterday I wrote a letter and put it in a bottle, and hove it overboard to a boat, the officers on board the Y. E. manned the boat and got it and sent it ashore to their agent, and immediately he sent word to the officers on board, not to deprive me of writing, nor any thing else. They have thirteen men in number on board of King's men. —When I get on shore, I shall protest fully, you may depend on it, and apply to the consul for assistance. ship Mercury, of New-York, for Nantz, with passengers, was brought in the same day, and a number more in the harbor, names unknown, detained."
* It is to be observed, that the Young Elias is a new Philadelphia built ship, on her first voyage, and that of course it could not be said that she had on board any goods that were imported by her, into the United States her cargo consisting of sugar, coffee, Furs and logwood, being bona fide American property.

CONGRESS.
Senate of the United States.
Friday, December 20.
Debate on the motion of Dr. Logan, for leave to bring in a bill to suspend the commercial intercourse between the U. States and St. Domingo—Continued.
Gen. S. SMITH. Mr. President—Had the honorable mover produced any new document, or given us any new information, I certainly should have given my vote that he should have the leave required. Or had the Senate been composed of the same members as those of the last year, I should have contented myself with giving a silent vote on the question. An addition being made to Senate of several new members, it may not be improper to state, that this subject was at the last session presented to the view of Congress by the President. A bill was predicated thereon, and after great consideration and lengthy discussion passed into a law. Has the mover produced to the Senate any document to show that France is not satisfied with what has been done? Does the gentleman know that any new complaint has been made? I know of none, and I therefore think it fair to presume that France has been fully satisfied with the law already passed. The gentleman has said that both the French and British ministers have considered the trade to St. Domingo, as contrary to the Law of Nations. I see nothing of the kind in the note from the British minister. I have no doubt of the British being disposed to interdict that branch of trade, as they have done almost all our other most lucrative commerce. Had the gentleman brought forward a bill to interdict all trade with Great Britain, he might have produced ma-
ny more reasons in its support than he has been pleased to offer in support of the bill proposed. But what is this Law of Nations? Is it the written law, or that law assumed by the nations who have the most power? If the gentlemen mean the written law, I must believe they are mistaken. I have somewhere read, that when a part of a state separates itself, and is capable of supporting that separation, forms for itself a government, and fully conducts its own affairs; that other nations do not infringe this law by trading or commencing a friendly intercourse with such part.
We are told that a celebrated French general, since here, has said, that if general Le Clerc succeeded, he meant to have landed all the blacks of St. Domingo, on our southern shores. This may be—but, sir, it is not probable. If such, however, had been his intention, they could not have arisen from resentment on account of our commerce, for we had been of the greatest utility to him and his army, and had then carried on to commerce that was not fully sanctioned by France. Nay, I might say, that owing to the supplies from the United States the colony of St. Domingo had been preserved to the mother country until the arrival of gen. Le Clerc. Unless, Mr. President, the honorable mover shall produce some new information, I shall be under the necessity of voting against leave to bring in this bill.
Dr. MITCHELL, in a speech of considerable length, and detail stated his objections to giving leave.
He complimented his friend from Pennsylvania for the purity of his motives in bringing forward the present motion. But he could not refrain from an expression of his surprise, and even his regret, that the subject had been moved again in the Senate.
During the last session of congress, the whole of the intercourse with St. Domingo had undergone a full investigation. While the bill regulating the clearance of armed merchant vessels was under discussion, that part of our foreign commerce had been minutely examined. It would be remembered that the bill had been committed, recommitted, amended, and modified with the utmost labor and skill. Besides the talents which the senate afforded, all the sources of executive information had been drained, to aid their researches. And the letters of the British and French ministers, complaining of the conduct of our merchants in forcing this trade, were opened to our view. The crude material of the bill had been hammered at and worked upon so elaborately, as to have at last received the complete burnish of a law. With all the knowledge that could be derived from so many quarters, the bill was at length passed to check the violence of our navigators, and to restrain the adventurous zeal of our merchants. The provisions of this law, were such as it was deemed just and proper that a neutral nation should take. And this was a liberal condescension to the wishes of the two great maritime and belligerent powers without forgetting the respect that we owed to our own. With both these he wished to cultivate peace and good understanding; but to neither of them would he consent to yield any portion of our neutral and national rights.
The difficulties exhibited in the ministerial correspondence, Dr. M. said, were thus removed. With a promptitude that deserved to be admired, congress interposed its authority, for the purpose at once of doing justice to our neighbors, regulating our commerce, and tranquilizing the Mexican seas. With these salutary provisions, he believed the two complaining nations had been satisfied. At least we had done so much that they ought in all reason to be content, congress had already manifested a due regard to all that France and Great Britain had offered upon the branch of West-India commerce, and in the true spirit of good neighborhood, and correct principle, had modified and restricted the intercourse with Hayti. And so fully did the Europeans seem to acquiesce in our conduct, that he had not heard any further remonstrances made by either of them about it. He thought the observations of the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Adams) very much in point. Under a conviction that we had done as much as public faith and national honor required, he had given his vote against the introduction of a similar bill during the last session. Nothing had occurred from that time to this day, to alter the circumstances of the case, or to make it necessary for him to change his conduct. He thought now, as he did then, that there was danger of overacting our part and of doing too much; of being good to our neighbors to such a degree, and in such a
manner as to be very cruel to ourselves.
After all this condescension on our part, after inquiring into the alleged misconceit of our people, and taking immediate measures to prevent the repetition after having done all that we politically could or that we honorably ought, the subject is once more introduced to the Senate. It comes now not from the executive department, not from the cabinets of the nations concerned, nor from the recommendation of a Senatorial committee, but from the suggestions of an individual member of our own body.
The commerce of the United States, he said, was an astonishing spectacle. It reached from Arne to Antarctic; and was co-extensive with the circumference of the Globe. Most of the inhabited countries of the earth are visited by our navigators, and the striped flag of the United States in the remotest harbours. Our countrymen have made considerable additions to the science of Geography. They have found markets unknown to commercialmen before. They have derived cargoes from the depths of the ocean, and had the cod, the seal and the whale under contribution. They have exported the productions of their own happy country, so fertile in the articles which sustain and cherish life, to all places where they were wanted, and brought here the crude materials or the manufactures of those regions in return. By an energy and enterprise unexampled in the history of the human species, they have excited the jealousy of foreigners, who are not only behind them in the mercantile exertion, but who cannot weigh anchor or reef a topsail equal to them.
Such was our situation, peaceful, industrious, and desirous of measuring out liberal justice to all our neighbors. But this was no protection against commercial rivalry. Emulation and competition existed in all callings and professions. Mercantile jealousy had been alarmed by it. Experience had shewn to the more active of them that they were unsuccessful competitors. What was the consequence? They had endeavored to interrupt by force or stratagem, that predominant trade which they could not out do or equal by fair means. In the havens of Britain the port charges are of the most exorbitant kind. The money paid by us for passing their lighthouses was excessive: The fees for performance of quarantine, were out of all proportion to the good expected or service done. Convoy duties were also frequently exacted. And the custom houses collected a higher rate of charge upon the merchandise exported to the United States than to any part of Europe. In addition to all this the cruisers of that nation had made the most ungenerous abuse of the power of searching our vessels. They had taken out and impressed into their service, emigrants coming to our country. They had violently drawn into their service, our seamen, natives of our land. Naturalized foreigners had not been spared. Our neutrality had been violated by their forcing our impressed citizens to fight against the political friends of their country. Our ships had been frequently detained and spoiled on the high seas; and their officers and crews grossly insulted. Vessels bearing the variegated stripes and constellated stars of our union had been sent to distant British ports for adjudication. Cargoes had been condemned under the most arbitrary pretexts, and our merchants and underwriters by the process of an ex parte trial stripped of their property. Our ports had been blockaded. The public authority in our very harbours had been defied, and the armed vessels of the nation had been fired at. And to crown the whole, the same nation, instigated by the like jealous and invidious considerations seem bent upon prohibiting our carrying trade in collateral produce, and resolved to reduce us once more to the dependence of provinces.

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 wish- ing 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, con- taining 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 grain, 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 Burrs—It commands a large country cus- tom, is well situated for merchant business, and has rented for five hundred dollars per annum ex- clusive 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 con- venience 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 hun- dred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahan- nock river bottom in cultivation, and is well a- dapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the rest due is in wood, surrounding a height, which fur- nishes a beautiful site for building.
Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, ad- joining 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, con- taining 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 ware house. 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 owl.
Also, a valuable Site 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 NE- GROES, of different ages, sizes and description. A few 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 flock of every de- scription.
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 proper- ty at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber unable to attend to property so dis- tant, 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 farm- ers. 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.
