From a Liverpool Paper of Feb. 7.
NEW PLAN OF FINANCE.
[The following sketch of the New Plan of Finance, submitted on Thursday to Parliament by the chancellor of the exchequer, is submitted to our readers, as calculated to explain any difficulty which may arise on a perusal of the parliamentary report.]
The new plan of finance professes to have for its object a provision of the means of maintaining the honor and independence of the British empire during the necessary continuance of the war; without perceptibly increasing the burthens of the country, and with manifest benefit to the interest of the public creditors.
The proposed measure is grounded on the flourishing state of the permanent revenue; on the great produce of the war taxes; on the high and accumulating amount of the sinking fund; and on some inferior aids to be derived from revenues set free by annuities originally granted for a term of years, and now expiring.
The plan is adequate to meet a scale of expenditure nearly equal to that of the year 1806; and it assumes that during the war, the annual produce of the permanent and temporary revenues will continue equal to the produce of the same year 1806. It is understood, that any further or unforeseen charge or any deficiency of revenue, shall be separately and specially provided for.
Keeping these premises in view, it is proposed, that the war loans for the year 1807, 1808, and 1809, shall be 12 millions, and for each of the 10 following years, 16 millions.
Those several loans, amounting for the fourteen years to 210 millions, are to be made a charge on the war taxes, which are estimated to produce 21 millions annually.
The charge thus thrown on the war taxes is meant to be at the rate of ten per cent. on each loan. Every such loan will therefore pledge so much of the war taxes as will be equal to meet this charge; that is, a loan of 12 millions will pledge 1,200,000. of the war taxes. And in each year, if the war should continue, a further portion of the war taxes will, in the same manner be pledged. And consequently, at the end of fourteen years, if the war should last so long, 24 millions, the whole produce of the war taxes, would be pledged for the total of the loans, which would at that time have amounted to 210 millions.
The ten per cent. charge thus accompanying each loan, will be applied to pay the interest of the loan, and to form a sinking fund, which sinking fund will evidently be more than five per cent. on such of the several loans as shall be obtained at a less rate of interest than five per cent.
It is well known, that a five per cent. sinking fund, accumulating at compound interest, will redeem any sum of capital debt in 14 years. Consequently the several portions of the war taxes, proposed to be pledged for the several loans above mentioned, will have redeemed their respective loans, and be successively liberated in periods of 14 years from the date of each such loan. The portions of war taxes thus liberated, may, if the war should still be prolonged, become applicable in revolving series, and may be again pledged for new loans.
It is, however, shewn by the printed calculations and tables, that whatever may be the continuance of the operation, the property tax will not be payable beyond the period for which it is now granted by the 16 G. 3 ch. 66, but will, in every case, be in force only during the war, and until the 6th day of April next after the ratification of a definitive treaty of peace, and no longer.
It is next to be observed, that the charge for the interest and sinking fund of the proposed loans, being taken from the annual produce of the war taxes, a deficiency equal to that charge will be created in the amount of the temporary revenue applicable to the war expenditure.
Supplementary loans will be requisite to make good that deficiency.
Those supplementary loans must increase in proportion to the increasing deficiency, if the war should be continued; but will never amount, even in a period of 20 years from the present time, to more than 5,000,000 in any year, beyond the amount to which the sinking fund of that year will have been raised by this plan.
It is proposed that the supplementary loans shall be formed on the established system of a sinking fund of one per cent. on the nominal capital.
The charge so created will be provided for, during the first three years, by the expiring annuities; and during that period the country will have the benefit of an exemption from all additional burthens.
From 1810, and for the six following years, a charge must be provided for, amounting on the average of those seven years, to not more than 293,000. annually.
And thus provision is made, on the scale of actual expenditure, for 10 years of war, if it should be necessary, without any additional taxes, except to the inconsiderable amount above stated. At the close of that period, taking the three per cents. at £60, and reducing the whole of the public debts at that rate to a money capital, the combined amount of the public debts will be £27,663,000. and the combined amount of the several sinking funds then existing, will be £23,720,000. whereas the present amount of the whole public debt, taken on the same scale of calculation, is 352,793,000. and the present amount of the sinking funds is no more than 8,835,000.
If the war should still be continued beyond the ten years thus provided for, it is proposed to take in aid of the public burthens certain excesses to accrue from the present sinking fund. That fund, which Mr. Pitt originally proposed to limit to 4 millions annually, will, with the very large additions derived to it from this new plan, have accumulated in 1807, to so large an amount as 24 millions sterling. In the application of such a sum, neither the true principles of Mr. Pitt's system, nor any just view of the real interests of the public, or even of the stockholder himself, can be considered as any longer opposing an obstacle to the means of obtaining at such a moment some aid in alleviation of the burthens and necessities of the country. But it is not proposed in any case to apply to the charge of new loans, a larger portion of the sinking fund than such as will always leave an amount of sinking fund equal to the interest payable on such part of the present debt as shall remain unredeemed. Nor is it meant that this or any other operation of finance shall ever prevent the redemption of a sum equal to the present debt in as short a period as that in which it would have been redeemed, if this new plan had been brought forward. Nor will the final redemption of any supplementary loans be postponed beyond the period of forty five years prescribed by the act of 1799, for the extinction of all future loans. While each of the annual war loans will be successively redeemed in fourteen years from the date of its creation so long as war shall continue and whenever peace shall come, will be redeemed always within a period far short of the 45 years required by the above mentioned act.
There will not be imposed any new taxes for three years. New taxes (less than 300,000.) on an average of seven years, from 1812 to 1816, both inclusive are all that will be necessary to procure the full benefit of this plan, which will continue for 20 years, during the last ten of which no new taxes whatever will be required.
ST. JOHN'S (Antigua) Feb. 2.
Admiral Cochrane, who arrived at English Harbor on Wednesday last, in the Northumberland, with the Canada and 3 frigates, having on board the 15th regiment, and 100 artillerymen, sailed again from thence on Saturday for Barbadoes.
We are happy to accord an exploit, performed by the officers and crew of his majesty's ship Galatea, which for cool intrepidity, is not perhaps excelled by any to be found in the annals of naval history. On the 21st January, while cruising to the eastward of cape Cadiro on the Spanish Main, this ship fell in with and chased the French national brig Lynx, but a calm coming on and the enemy using their sweeps, captain Sayers, of the Galatea, ordered the boats to be hoisted out and manned. At 2 P.M. five of these with 70 men under the command of lieutenant Combe, proceeded after the brig, and it was not until half past 10 at night, and after having rowed near 40 miles, that our enterprising tars came up with her. A very severe action ensued which lasted twenty minutes, when the enemy submitted to the superior prowess of the British. The loss on our side was 9 killed, among whom was the gallant lieutenant Walker, and 20 wounded, in which number were all the other officers, except lieutenant Gibson. The French had 14 killed and 21 wounded, of the former was the first lieutenant, who formerly commanded the Bonaparte, now the Pert in his majesty's service. The commanding officer is, we understand, dangerously wounded. The Lynx is of the first class of brigs, pierced for 18 guns and carrying 14 French 24 pounders, and 2 sixes, with a comple-
ment of 161 men. She is a very fine vessel, and has been purchased into the service under the name of L'Heureux.
Lieutenant Watt, late of the Hart, is appointed to the command. The Lynx is now at English Harbor, where she arrived yesterday.
NEW YORK, April 2.
THE GALE.
Yesterday morning at two o'clock, a gale commenced from E.N.E. with a heavy fall of snow and continued till about 11, blowing most of the time from East. About twelve o'clock the wind fell to a moderate breeze, and immediately veered round to S.S.W. blew fresh from that quarter till three in the afternoon, when the wind commenced a gale from W.N.W. It is a remarkable fact that the tide at 11 o'clock, was from twelve to eighteen inches higher than it has been known by the oldest inhabitants. From this time the water fell, though it was not time for high water till past three o'clock! Many cellars were filled, and considerable property damaged. During the gale the brig Signal Pole was blown down, and three schooners were driven from their anchors, and lodged on the mud flats on the Jersey side opposite the city; one of which is the Cornelia from St. Thomas. We have reason to fear that the vessels on the coast both those bound in as well as those which have recently sailed, have suffered. The ships Frances, Braine, from Greenock; and Four Sisters, Latham from Ireland; both rode out the gale, the former in the East and the latter in the North river. The brig Almira from Savannah was safe at anchor in the narrows yesterday at one o'clock. Eight or nine sail of vessels went down on Monday morning and all went to sea except the ships Native and Milford, and the brig Mars, for Amsterdam, they anchored in the bay within the Hook.
During the height of the gale, several flocks of wild geese passed over the city, from the sea shore; whence no doubt they had been driven by the severity of the storm.
It is also remarkable that many Robins lodged in the rigging of the vessels at our docks, some of which were driven by the wind with such velocity against the masts and spars of vessels, that they fell down dead.
Since writing the above we learn by the Union pilot boat, which left the Hook at 12 o'clock, that 2 ships were ashore about seven miles to the Westward of the Hook, one of which had lost two masts, and the other came in from sea during the gale in the morning, probably one of the ships that went out the preceding day. There was also a large ship ashore outside, about four miles South of the Light House, supposed from her appearance to be an Indian.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.
Yesterday morning the New Castle packet Tryphena, bound down off the lower end of the city, was struck with a very heavy flaw of wind, which threw her on her beam ends, and notwithstanding her ballast fetching way, she righted in an instant and recovered her upright position without taking in water at her hatches or any other part, she then returned safe to the wharf with all her passengers except one, a young man of the name of J. A. Brummer, said to be from Boston, and bound to Baltimore: he in the general confusion either jumped or fell overboard after the vessel righted, and though every means was used, he sunk before the boat which was cut from the stern of the Tryphena could reach him.
About the same time the Telegraph, New Castle packet, carried away her boom, and was obliged to return to the city.
April 4.
We have seen letters from Princeton, N. J. dated Thursday, which state, that a very serious rupture has occurred in the college of that place. Upwards of one hundred and fifty students have openly revolted against the authority of the principal and teachers; in consequence of three of their fellow students having been expelled.
The whole number of literary insurgents have been dismissed from the walls of the college, until a board of trustees, to be immediately convened, shall give a decision on the subject. We sincerely regret that any thing should have occurred to tarnish the reputation, or interrupt the progress of so respectable and useful a seminary of learning.
Extract of a letter from our correspondent, dated,
"CAPE-MAY, March 31.
"The ship Woodrop, Sims, and brig
Nanina and Sally, came on shore about P. M. two or three leagues inside of the Cape. The crew of the Nanina were on shore, and the wind blowing a gale from W. no boat could get to their assistance. A ship and two other vessels went to assist at the same time. Five schooners and a hermaphrodite brig lay at anchor outside of the Cape in a very dangerous situation. Unless the wind abates, they will certainly come on shore."

PENNSYLVANIA AFFAIRS.
The committee of enquiry into the governor's conduct made report this morning—the charges are,
 1. The use of the fig simile.  2. The appointment of Dr. Buchanan.  3. The removal of Dr. Reynolds.  4. The overtures made to Duane to withdraw a criminal prosecution against him, on condition that he would discontinue his suits against J. P. McKean and others.  5. Setting aside the election of Wolbert, for which the committee think the governor had not a shadow of cause.  6. Sending a blank commission to be filled up by J. B. McKean, to examine witnesses respecting the contested election of sheriff.  7. Issuing a warrant for the arrest of Cabreria, and afterwards dispensing with the rules of the prison with respect to him.  (United States Gazette.)
Concerning col. Burr's Western prospects.
Common fame has promulgated so much concerning this gentleman, that no one can expect that a word of extenuation while public prejudice is so high will be regarded. How then can it be expected that mere conjecture, however well supported by reasonable deductions, will have influence?
It seems to be generally admitted that colonel Burr had engaged many young men as volunteers to follow his fortunes in an enterprise, the particulars of which has never been developed. Many conjectures and surmises have been published; that which has gained the most credit is that he intended to invade Mexico and overthrow the Spanish government.
When these volunteers were engaged, it was generally believed that war with the Spaniards was inevitable, it is highly probable that colonel Burr, as well as others, imbibed that opinion. If he did, two objects might occur to his mind. First, to render a service to the U. S. by calling together a sufficient body of men to oppose and overthrow the Spanish army, and thereby to relieve the government from further trouble, and the public from the burthens of war. The second, to take possession of Mexico, and to establish a new order of things in that country.
With respect to the first of these objects colonel Burr might entertain many reasonable inducements. He would restore his name and character to that station which such services would entitle it to in the U. S. This would be a personal gratification. Another would be to serve the public by counteracting a dangerous and troublesome

enemy; this would have been patriotic; a third might have been to give a new and more propitious destiny to the inhabitants of Mexico; this many think would have been both benevolent and philosophic. But these conjectures and conclusions are opposed by the affidavit and conduct of general Wilkinson, so that the whole subject is covered with mystery. It has been publicly announced, and has not yet been disproved, that general Wilkinson holds a station of some sort under the Mexican government. If this be true, and Wilkinson foresaw the overthrow of that government, by Burr and his volunteers, there is no room for surprise, either at the pacific arrangements between himself and the Spanish commandant at the Sabine, or at the steps which have been taken to defeat the enterprise.
These are mysteries which a little time will unveil; it is therefore better that public opinion should be suspended until further investigation shall unfold the truth. [Virginia Gaz.]
Extract of a letter from a friend in Hugarstown, dated March 30.
"There was a ludicrous fracas at Belzbover's tavern the other day between a couple of democratic gentry about the merits of Mr. John Randolph. The parties were the redoubtable Matthew Lyon and major Carroll of this vicinity. The major pushed his arguments home with a blow on Matthew's mouth, who on his part would have gouged if he could. But the current setting against him, the congressmen beat a precipitate retreat, and the affair ended with a presentment from the grand jury, by which his victorious antagonist was punished with a fine of five dollars."
"If congress are the servants of the people, it seems to be hard too to punish a man for beating one of his own house-hold." [Fredericktown Herald.]
The following paragraphs are extracted from London articles received by the Liverpool packet. [N. Y. pap.]
Still are we without any official advices from the continent. Yet accounts continue to be received from various parts of the successes of the Russians after the 26th of December. One letter from a house in Germany, dated the 23d ult. states, "the French lost nine generals in the battles immediately subsequent to that of the 26th December, but not a word more do they mention of their loss. Davoust attacked the centre of the Russian army, on which this division retired fighting; but they brought both their wings to bear on Davoust's rear, and ultimately defeated him with great loss." Another letter says that it was on the 28th December, "that the fortune of war was changed in favor of the Russian army, and continued decidedly so till the 30th, the date of the last dispatches from the scene of action, which at that time had removed nearer Warsaw, to which city the French had retreated, after suffering repeated defeats."
General Menstein, the commander of Dantzig, has published a bulletin, announcing intelligence from Konigsberg, of another total defeat of the French by the Russians, after fighting from the 27th to the 30th December. The editor of the French paper printed at Altona also received a letter containing the particulars of the above defeat; but the French minister insisted that the whole was a falsehood, and had it suppressed. According to this letter, marshal Kamenskoi, by a masterly maneuvre with the centre and left wing of the Russian army, is said to have turned and surrounded three corps of the French army, namely those of Davoust, Ney, and Soult; to have killed upwards of 40,000 and taken 20,000 prisoners, among the latter is said to be Davoust himself.
Dispatches were also received on Friday from Mr. Adair, which intimate that a victory had been gained by the Russians after the 26th. The Russian gen. B. is said to have been bought by the French, and to have been detected by the general in chief, Kaminskoi, when on the point of leaving to the French the whole of the Russian magazines, by withdrawing the guard. Kaminskoi, it is said, took his sword from him with his own hands, and sent him in irons to St. Petersburg, and the French, when they made their attack, experienced the most formidable resistance, which ended in a complete defeat. Great disorder is said to have prevailed in the French army, particularly amongst the emperor's guards, who insisted on winter quarters, and of five of the columns employed in the attack, three were defeated, and one had refused to advance.
By the mail from Huseum, which arrived on Friday and brought letters from Hamburg to the 22d, and accounts from Warsaw of the 8th, the fact, that the French have sustained a signal defeat in Poland, is still further confirmed. All the accounts published in the Hamburg papers are, as might be supposed, entirely silent as to any defeat of the French: But the master of a Danish vessel which arrived on Friday in the river, has affirmed, that before he sailed from Elsinore on the 21st he saw a printed official account of the particulars of the victory obtained by the Russians. It was shown to him by the commandant of the place, and agrees with the substance of the reports which have already appeared. After the arrival of the mail on Friday, a note, of which the following is a copy, was circulated among the public officers:
"January 30—Various accounts received this morning confirm the defeat of the French at Ostrolenka, but the official details are not yet arrived. Letters from Danzig mention, that 40,000 French prisoners are marched into Konigsberg.—Bonaparte was at Warsaw on the 8th of January; but the Russians have crossed the Vistula, and an engagement took place on the 7th January at Szakabow, on the road to Posen, which is said to have terminated to the disadvantage of the French."
GEN. MIRANDA. —By a gentleman just arrived at New York, from Trinidad, and whose information is entitled to the fullest credit, from his personal and particular acquaintance with the officers and other principal persons attached to the late expedition of Miranda, we have the following information: That general Miranda was at Trinidad when our informant left there; and that he was in daily expectation of receiving a reinforcement of between 8 and 10,000 men from England, under the order of general Tucker, and which were said to have sailed but had been detained by adverse winds; that on the arrival of these troops Miranda would immediately undertake a second expedition against the Spanish dominions of South America; and that it was the concurrent opinion of those qualified to form a correct one, that with this respectable force the general would be able to crown his enterprise with complete and speedy success. Miranda had been appointed to the rank of major general by the English government. The failure of his late attempt to liberate his countrymen from Spanish oppression in that part of the world, was attributed wholly to the smallness of the forces with which it was attempted, as they did not, altogether, amount to three hundred men. Great numbers of the natives, and those friendly to his project, had frequently joined the standard of Miranda, but could not be induced to continue their fidelity, as they could feel no certainty of protection from such a handful of men, against the troops & threatened vengeance of the Spanish government.

FROM MONTGOMERY'S POEMS. "Ah! Who would love the lyre!" G. A. STEVENS.
WHERE the roving will meander'd Down the green, retiring vale, Poor, forlorn Alcæus wander'd, Pale with thought, serenely pale: Hopeless sorrow, over his face Breathed a melancholy grace, And fixed on every feature there The mournful resignation of despair.
O'er his arm, his lyre neglected, Coldly, carelessly he flung; And in spirit deep dejected, Thus the pensive poet sung; While, at midnight's solemn noon, Sweetly shone the cloudless moon, And all the stars around his head, Benignly bright, their mildest influence shed:
"Lyre! O, Lyre! my chosen treasure, Solace of my bleeding heart; Lyre! O, Lyre! my only pleasure, We must ever, ever part: 'Tis in vain thy poet sings, Woos in vain thine heavenly strings, The Muse's wretched sons are born To cold neglect, and penury, and scorn.
That which Alexander sigh'd for, That which Cæsar's soul possess'd, That which heroes, kings have died for, Glory!—animates my breast: Hark! the changing trumpet's throats Pour their death defying notes; "To arms!" they call; to arms I fly, Like Wolfe to conquer—and like Wolfe to die!
Soft!—the blood of murder'd legions Summons vengeance from the skies; Flaming towns, and ravag'd regions, All in awful judgment rise!—O then, innocently brave, I will wrestle with the wave; Lo! Commerce spreads the daring sail, And yokes her naval chariots to the gale.
Biow ye breezes—gently blowing, Waft me to that happy shore, Where, from fountains ever flowing, Indian realms their treasures pour; Thence returning, poor in health, Rich in honesty and wealth, O'er thee, my dear paternal soil, I'll strew the golden harvest of my toil.
Then shall Misery's sons and daughters In their lowly dwellings sing;—Bounteous as the Nile's dark waters, Undiscovered as their spring, I will scatter, over the land, Blessings with a secret hand;—For such angelick tasks design'd, I give the Lyre and sorrow to the wind.
On an oak, whose branches hoary Sigh'd to every passing breeze, Sigh'd and told the simple story Of the patriarch of trees; High in air his harp he hung, Now no more to rapture strung; Then warm in hope, no longer pale, He blush'd adieu, and rambled down the vale.
Lightly touch'd by fairy fingers, Hark! The lyre enchants the wind; Fond Alcæus listens, lingers— Lingering, listening, looks behind. Now the music mounts on high, Sweetly swelling through the sky; To every tone, with tender heat, His heart-strings vibrate, and his pulses beat.
Now the strains to silence stealing, Soft in ecstasies expire; Oh! With what romantick feeling Poor Alcæus grasps the lyre! Lo! his furious hand he flings, In a tempest o'er the strings; He strikes the chords so quick, so loud, 'Tis Jove that scatters lightning from a cloud!
Lyre, O, Lyre, my chosen treasure, Solace of my bleeding heart; Lyre, O, Lyre, my only pleasure, —We will never, never part. Glory, commerce, now in vain, Tempt to the field, the main; The Muse's sons are blest, though born, To cold neglect, and penury and scorn.
What though all the world neglect me, Shall my haughty soul repine? And shall poverty deject me, While this hallow'd lyre is mine! Heaven—that o'er my helpless head, Many a watchful vial shed, Heaven gave this lyre! And thus decreed, Be thou a bruised but not a broken reed!"

PROOF, Of the good effects of Lee and Son's Genuine Medicine, shewn by the following cases of cures:
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual headache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days.
JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, headache, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them was alive for some time after.
JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street. Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
Having observed in the newspaper an advertisement of yours describing the good qualities of your Worm Lozenges, induced me to call at the store of Warner and Hanna, and to make a trial of some of them on a female child of my friend's, who was in my care, which, from her symptoms of disease, viz. sickness, a picking at the nose, offensive breath, and other like circumstances, authorized myself and Mrs. McCormick to determine that worms was the complaint; accordingly a few days since, I made a trial of the medicine, agreeable to the directions, and I am happy to say, that on the third day, afterwards the child evacuated large worms, and other offensive matter, such as to me was astonishing that a human being could have contained—particularly at so early an age as one year and a half old. For the good of society I have much pleasure in mentioning the case, and to observe that the child is now perfectly well, and assumes a healthy appearance. Any other information I shall give with pleasure on application to me, at my house in Frederick-street, near Messrs. Van Wyck and Dorsey's auction room.

THIS cause was this day heard on the bill, answers, replications thereto, exhibits, and the proceedings in the suit lately depending in this court, between Robert Bird, against Josiah Watson and John Love, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof the court not now deciding on the respective claims of the parties to the lands in the proceedings mentioned, doth adjudge, order and decree, that the marshal of this district, or one of his lawful deputies, (after having advertised the time and place of such sale for five weeks successively in one or more newspapers printed in the town of Alexandria and city of Washington) do expose to sale, at public auction, the tract of land in the proceedings mentioned, called Buckland , either altogether or in parcels as the parties may agree; or in case of their disagreement, in the way he may think will most enhance the price thereof, upon the following terms, to wit—One-fifth part of the purchase money agreed to be paid therefor, to be in cash, and the balance in four equal annual payments, bearing interest from the date if not punctually paid, taking bonds with sufficient securities from the purchaser or purchasers, payable to the marshal, for the use of such of the parties to this sale, and the sale aforesaid, as may hereafter be adjudged entitled thereto, and retaining the title to the said lands as security for the payment of the said annual instalments; and in case default be made in the said payments, or either of them that shall fall due, that the said tract of land, or the lot or lots for which the payments shall not have been made according to the tenor of the sale, be set up for public sale by the marshal, for ready money, after the time and place of such sale shall have been advertised in manner as aforesaid and the proceeds of sale to be applied to the discharge of the same remaining due on the purchase of the said tract of land, or the lot or lots so to be sold, and the surplus, if any, to be paid to the original purchaser. And if the parties shall prefer the said tracts of land being sold in two or more lots, or the marshal or his deputy who may act, shall be of opinion in case of their disagreement, that the value of the said tract of land will be enhanced by a division thereof, the court doth direct that he have the same divided into as many lots as the parties shall agree on, or he think best, by the surveyor of the county of Fauquier, and sell the same so divided, and that he bring the said bonds and pay the money so to be received in cash at the sale, after having defrayed the expenses thereof and of the division if any shall be made into court, subject to its future order, and the marshal is directed to report his proceedings to the court; and the court doth further order and decree, that the defendants, trustees for Mrs. Watson, be permitted to reap and carry off the now growing crop from the said lands, and that the marshal sell the same, subject to that privilege, and this is to be without prejudice to any suit that Robert Bird, Bird, Savage and Bird, may hereafter bring claiming the profits of the said lands, against the said defendants, trustees as aforesaid.
