Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double harrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.

From the North-Carolina Minerva.
Should it be a matter of surprise to the friends of the present administration, to find that class of citizens called farmers, have dared to think for themselves, notwithstanding many of them were advocates of Mr. Jefferson's election to the Presidency, I give for answer, first, that their political creed is the same that it was when they promoted Mr. Jefferson to that appointment. We then conceived ourselves entitled to "think for ourselves;" and still do. As an inherent right emanating from the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Secondly, in giving Mr. Jefferson our support to the Presidency of the United States, it was not from personal motives or affection, but the manner in which it was expected he would administer the affairs of the government. So long therefore as the affairs of government were conducted in unison with those principles, we were content and satisfied; but when we apprehend a departure therefrom, both in spirit and in principle, from that moment we became constitutionally opposed to such measures; and that period has arrived, needs no further proof—Every day's occurrence proves the truth of this fact. We daily feel its baneful effects, and we look forward with hopeless expectation of being rescued from the impending danger.
The object of the succeeding remarks is intended to correct the mistaken opinion prevailing in the minds of many of our popular leaders both in and out of Congress, "that the people are content and satisfied in the wisdom and policy of the existing measures." Although we are farmers unengaged in the politics of our country, yet common sense teaches us to withhold our support from every measure, until we are informed wherefore and for what; notwithstanding a majority of Congress in their last session of five months, were legislating on subjects of the highest importance to their country without information, or upon the bare recommendation of Presidential confidence. We cannot follow their example without some reason, some light to govern and direct our judgments. It is from this mode of legislating we presume, that has thrown our political affairs into such confusion; under which we apprehend every step we make will involve new difficulties—The patriotic exertions made in Congress by a few of our representatives on this subject, is the standard to which we rally. To these we owe the little information we now possess, of our truly alarming situation. We have been patient, as recommended by the President, with a hope of seeing and feeling the good effects of the wisdom and policy of his administration; but we now exclaim, "the more docile, the greater the burden." It is time, therefore, high time to speak the language of truth. If our rulers have withheld from the people the real situation of their affairs and country, we will not withhold from them the real sentiments of our breasts, we give them undisguised, because we know no other; and we feel, although we are not permitted to see.
We were told that the embargo would operate on the powers of Europe, as a powerful engine of resentment, for the insults offered our nation; like a powerful medicine administered to a person in a delirium, would speedily bring France and Britain to a due sense of their duty towards the United States. But unfortunate for our political physicians, they have mistaken the cause; a deadly epidemic is produced, and is spreading its baneful effects in their own family.
But we are now told to hold out that the embargo is nothing more than an experiment. Agreed. But are we to be ruined by the wild and visionary speculative experiments of a certain set of men, who legislate for their own party purposes? If such principles and measures be supported, it is because the facts are concealed from the people. If such be the case, which I fear it is, the time, fellow-citizens, is fast approaching when you also experimentally will lose your dearest liberties—Was there ever a time in the United States when appearances wore so gloomy an aspect? To my mind the greatest distresses of the last war were not as ruinous as at present, and we have no prospect of better times soon.
But the blind infatuated confidence in the wisdom of our rulers, into which we had fallen, has given them an influence highly dangerous in itself, and in which too we see them indulging their ambition beyond the constituted powers delegated to them by the people. We see even the present chief magistrate pointing to his successor; and we behold also, his unwieldy party in congress making advances unknown to the constitution—Eighty odd members of congress assembled in the capitol, under the name of a caucus, where they held an election for President and vice-president. These caucus-gentry the very same too, who are so famous for passing embargo laws, elected Mr. Madison President under the mask of republicanism.—Not content with this stretch of power, they then enter into resolutions, appointed committees of correspondence and arrangement throughout the United States; by which scheme the people are to stand as cy-
phers, and eighty odd gun boat builders are to govern the most important election in the government. Citizens of North Carolina, once more think for yourselves—One or two such tricks as this, with an embargo upon your backs, will place you in a perilous situation. This is what I call taking the interim upon the people.
Be it remembered, that in this country the people is the sovereign; and in the way they exercise sovereignty, is by their suffrages, which implies their own will; they therefore should not be influenced by any other circumstances than facts. These are things obvious to sense, in which they cannot be deceived: and every measure tending to mislead the people in their elections, either by withholding facts or promulgating acts of dread and alarm, are so many steps to usurpation, and will not be countenanced by that class of citizens of which I am one.
A FARMER OF NASH.
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA REGISTER.
WE have great pleasure in publishing the subjoined proud and prophetic extract from Travels in Spain. The resistance of this gallant people is without example in the history of nations—robbed of their royal family, without leaders, without organization, and, almost without arms, under the glorious impulse of an abstract love of country, and in defiance of the most formidable military force, they offer to the world a subject of commendation, that can never be sufficiently extolled—and which will be worthy of imitation to remotest ages. Should the other nations of Europe decline to follow the illustrious precedent, they will deserve their fate.
The resistance of this magnanimous people (and may GOD grant that it prove equally effectual to themselves) has, by the adoption of their colonists, in their declaration of war against France, placed a barrier between the U. States and subjugation, which foreign force, however abetted by domestic treachery, can never pass. This is cause of gratulation and thanksgiving, dear to the heart of every real American.
May the God of Battles nerve the arm of the Patriot-Spaniard, and guide his sword to decisive victory!
"TRAVELS IN SPAIN." "SEVILLE."
"Hercules is said to have been the founder of Seville, and the opinion is so general, that it is current among the common people by tradition; it is even inscribed on the gates of the city; it is true Cæsar is given to Hercules as companion. Over the gate called the CARNE, because it leads to the shambles, is the following inscription:
"Condidi Alcides, renovavit Julius urbem, Restituit Christo Fernandus tertius heros."
"These two Latin Verses are paraphrased in the Castilian tongue, over the gate of Xeres—
"Hercules me edefico, Julio Cesar me cerco de muro y torres altas y el rey santo me gano Con Garci Perez de Vargas."
"TRANSLATION."
"Hercules founded me, Julius Cæsar surrounded me with walls and high towers.—The holy king conquered me with Garci Perez de Vargas."
"Over an ancient painting of Seville were these words—
"Ab Hercule et Cæsar Nobilitas, A se ipsa Fidelitas."
"TRANSLATION."
"From Hercules and Cæsar they claim their Nobility, From themselves they derive their Fidelity."
"I did not forget to seek for the tomb of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS before the Cathedral; it is distinguished by one stone only, which bears these words—
"A Castilla y Aragon otro mundo dio Colon."
"TRANSLATION."
"To Castile and Aragon Columbus gave another world."
We are happy to remark, in the present portentous period, that the noble resistance of Seville promises to preserve both worlds from the Great Destroyer of men and nations.
From the (Balt.) Federal Republican.
MERITS OF ADMINISTRATION.
THE duties of government, as enumerated by Vattel, are principally these—
1. To administer the government according to the fundamental laws.
COMMENTARY...Instead of attending diligently to this rule as the guide of his conduct, Mr. Jefferson has more than once violated, or connived at violations of that constitution which he was solemnly bound to
support. The first instance of this was giving his sanction to the unconstitutional act of Congress, depriving the judges of their offices. He has also approved the embargo law, with its various oppressive and unconstitutional supplements; and he has sanctioned the tyrannical and illegal conduct of Wilkinson at New-Orleans, and has openly opposed the judiciary of his country.
2. To execute the laws with faithfulness and impartiality, consulting the public good and not the interests of a faction.
COMMENTARY...Mr. Jefferson has seen fit to proscribe an entire party: a party possessing more than a moiety of all the property in the country, with an infinite superiority of talents and knowledge, and to whom the nation is indebted for the federal constitution and for its rapid progress in wealth and power. Thus has he converted his trust to an engine of oppression, and of corrupt favoritism.
3. To provide for the national defence.
COMMENTARY...This is no part of Mr. Jefferson's doctrine. By leaving the country completely defenceless, he seems desirous to interest the generosity and compassion of his enemies, hoping they will have too much magnanimity to attack a people unprepared for resistance. But lest this might not be sufficient, he strives to avert the anger of his foe, by mean and humiliating concessions. To amuse the people, whom it was necessary to gratify with an appearance of military force, a number of fishing boats have been constructed, and authority given for raising the mighty force of 6000 men, to be commanded by the illustrious hero Wilkinson.
4. To protect commerce, the great source of wealth.
COMMENTARY...This Mr. Jefferson has done, by passing a law to annihilate it. Its protection is too expensive. It is inconsistent with the system of economy: therefore, to save a few dollars expence, the only source of revenue is dried up. This is like the miser, who spoin his coat to save half a yard of cloth.
5. To maintain the national honor.
COMMENTARY...Pocketing the injuries of Spain, and Striving to conceal disgrace by the purchase of a disputed title—Seventeen millions of dollars to France—St. Domingo Bill—Champagny's letter, &c. &c. &c. &c.
6. To keep alive the patriotism, spirit and national pride of the people.
COMMENTARY...Mr. Jefferson has adopted a wretched system of expedients, the inevitable tendency of which is to extinguish every spark of spirit and national pride. Instead of boldly maintaining our rights, we meanly shrink from the contest. The eagle is no longer an appropriate emblem, we should adopt the crawling tarapin.
Latest from Europe.
LONDON, June 10.
The captain of a vessel which arrived yesterday from a port in the north of Europe, states, that at the time of his coming away, which was on the 2d inst. a report prevailed, that the emperor of Russia had been poisoned. The port where the rumor prevailed, which, from motives of commercial delicacy we forbear to mention, is adjacent to the Russian territory.
Several letters by the last Gottenburgh mail serve to cast considerable doubts upon the statements we have had for some time, with regard to the success of the Swedes in Finland.
His Swedish majesty has commenced one of the grandest internal improvements that any country has displayed in the present times; namely, to connect the North and Baltic seas together, through the heart of Sweden, by means of a canal (large enough for vessels usually navigating the Baltic seas) which will commence at Soderkoping, in the Baltic sea, pass along to the lakes Roxen, the Western and the Wiken into the Winern lake, from whence the navigation is already complete down to Gottenburgh.
June 11.
The stocks yesterday felt a sensible depression, in consequence of the rumor that sir J. Moore, and the army under his command, had received orders to return from the Baltic without attempting a debarkation. Whether this is owing to the circumstance of their having been too late to co-operate with the Swedes in Norway—or that it is found to be impracticable to give the Swedes effectual assistance any where—we know not. A number of rumors are afloat on the subject. According to one account, his royal majesty would not permit them to land, on account of the extreme scarcity of provisions; and because it might be an ob-
stacle to his negotiating for peace. According to another story, he has actually made his terms with France and Russia. Which ever may be the cause, our armament is said to be on the return; and it is further declared, that it will be employed in the diversion that is to be attempted in favor of the Spaniards.
Some further particulars with regard to the affairs of Spain, were communicated to us change yesterday. The insurrection is making rapid progress, and several districts, in addition to those we mentioned yesterday, have sent deputies to Oviedo. Some places indeed are stated to have done so, which are actually occupied by French troops. Proclamations have been issued by the assembly at Oviedo, exhorting all Spaniards to exert the dignity of their character, by joining in the patriotic cause. These proclamations were widely circulated in spite of the measures and vigilance of the French. Mr. J. M. rat's government seems to feel considerable alarm. He has sent forth a proclamation, which, while it manifests all the rage, betrays a good deal of the fear that belongs to tyranny. He denounces all who connect themselves with what he calls "the conspiracy," or who attempts to oppose, or even defame the "government;" and he threatens the most terrible vengeance against any place or person, where French blood may be shed. If a single Frenchman falls in any village, town or city in Spain, M. rat proclaims his resolution to have such village, town or city razed to the ground.
It is reported that Bonaparte intimated to the Junta de Castilla of which the Grand Duke of Berg is president, that they might make their election of a king, either of Leocin or Joseph Bonaparte; and that the answer of the Junta was, that they were not competent to decide upon that question, as that was the province of the Cortes. Upon which it is said that Bonaparte ordered that a deputation of the Cortes should repair to Bayonne to deliberate upon the matter; but that very deputy declined obeying his orders; and in consequence that admiral Murado, the bishops, and the other people of distinction, who were on their way to Bayonne, according to the mandate of Bonaparte, had returned to their homes.
It is also said the first body of Portuguese conscripts, having arrived at Valadolid, on their way to France, handcuffed, had been liberated by the Spaniards of that town, who rose upon the French escort, and set the Portuguese at liberty, telling them they were free men.
It was likewise said, that the captain general of Cadiz had declared against the order of things attempted to be established by the French; and it is confidently expected a general insurrection will take place whenever it is practicable.
It is stated, that the marquis del Soccoro, who commands the Spanish troops in Portugal, has declared against the French, and in favor of the Spanish patriots. This statement certainly appears entitled to some credit, from a circumstance which has just come to our knowledge. We are informed that the embargo is taken off at Oporto; and as that town is entirely garrisoned by Spanish troops it seems very likely that the change is owing to their influence.
We have no doubt that the Spanish troops in the north of Europe would feel a similar disposition to that said to be manifested in Portugal if the state of their country were fairly described to them. Let us hope the proper means will be, or have been, taken to communicate this description to them.
Not a moment should be lost in making an experiment upon their disposition. There is little time for deliberation; our ministers must decide and act at once upon this occasion. Slow movements will avail nothing against the proverbial promptitude—against the perpetual activity of Bonaparte, who is sending troops from every quarter, and by forced marches, to Spain.
There was a report yesterday, said to arise out of the information received from the new Spanish ambassador, that general O'Farrel had prevented the Spanish army from joining in the insurrection of the 2d May. The uniformly high and honorable conduct of this officer forbids us to believe anything unworthy of his fame.
Viscount Materos is fully accredited by ministers as Ambassador from the Spanish Patriots, and has taken a house in Hanover square.
We have heard that the Spanish Noblemen Viscount Matcrossa, and Don Diego de la Vega, have already entered into an agreement with government, by which all the Spanish prisoners in this country are to be released and sent back to Spain.
Ammunition has been sent off in great quantities for the use of the Spanish patriots.
The Marquis De Santa Cruz, who is at the head of the Provisional Government of Asturias and Gallacia, is a young Nobleman of high spirit, and is in particular esteem

the former province. To him is committed the command of that patriotic army which we hope is destined to rescue their country from a foreign yoke. The Marquis De Oviedo, who is joined with him in the conduct of the national affairs, is also a Nobleman in whose spirit and virtue the people place entire confidence.
Admiral Gardner, son of Lord Gardner, is to have a flag, which he will hoist immediately, and sail on a secret expedition.
It is stated that a very extraordinary change has taken place in the mind of the cabinet respecting the Catholic question. The Pope's Nuncio to the Prince of Brazils has been treated with marked attention and deference by the Duke of Portland, Mr. Canning, and the other public men connected with the government.
A letter dated Manchester, 8th instant, says, "all is perfectly tranquil here, and has been so these last twelve days; but some disturbances have taken place in the neighboring towns. Many prisoners have been brought to the New Bailey Prison since Saturday last."

GOTTENBURG, May 30. Some persons arrived here to day from Hamburg, which they left on the 14th inst. and state, that the last English letters which were brought thither from Heligoland, were not only seized, but the persons to whom they were addressed arrested and the bearers of them hanged. All intercourse with England and Sweden was forbidden, upon pain of death.
The English expedition, commanded by Sir John Moore, still lies in our harbor, waiting orders from England.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10.
The secret of browning gun barrels proves to be more simple than has been generally imagined.—The method is, after the barrel has been finished, rub it over with some aqua-fortis, or spirit of salt diluted with water, and then lay it by for a week or a fortnight, till it acquires a complete coat of rust, a little oil is then to be applied, and the surface being rubbed dry, it is to be polished by means of a hard brush.
The following method is practised in Germany, for ridding granaries of mites & weavils: Let the walls and rafters above and below of such granaries as are infested, be covered completely with quicklime, slacked in water, in which trefoil, wormwood, and yew have been boiled.—This composition should be applied as hot as possible. A farmer, who had the granaries empty in June last, collected quantities of the largest sized ants in sacks, and scattered them about the places infested with weavils. The ants immediately fell upon and devoured them all.
Economy in Feeding Sheep. —Mr. Coke, of Holkham, Norfolk, causes to be strewed upon the pasture grounds of his park a certain quantity of the boughs of fir trees from his plantations (which are regularly and carefully pruned by the best system of pruning) in the same manner that turnips are thrown to stock upon a farm; and with them hay is given in sacks. The sheep are driven to them regularly every evening; and before they go out to turnips the next day, the leaves are all stripped from the boughs of the firs. Afterwards the boughs are carefully tied up in faggots, and sent to be burnt in the brick kiln. Mr. Coke has pursued this method during the last snows and frosts.—The saving has been a load of hay daily; the sheep have thriven well upon the food; the plantations are the better for being thus pruned and cleared; and the pasture ground has received the benefit of the leathe of the sheep as regularly as if the fold had been struck every day.
"Well Pompey," said a man, who had just been talking with one of his neighbors upon politics—"Well Pompey, what is your opinion about the embargo, of which you have heard so much?" "Eh! massa, cried Pompey, feeling the full force of the compliment paid him by having his opinion asked—"I tell e you massa, what poor negar think about it. I think," said he, looking archly, "it be bery much like e cure I hear for e tooth ache." "Ah what was that," said the master. "Take cold water in e mouth, massa, and set e bottom on a red hot stove, till e water boil in e mouth, dat cure e tooth ache. I THINK E CURE BE DEEBLISH SITE WORSE AN E DISEASE." I believe that the whole nation will be soon of Pompey's opinion. (Luzerne Fed.)

DR. ROBERTSON'S CELEBRATED STOMACHIC ELIXIR OF HEALTH, WHICH has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine ever yet offered to the public for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the stomach; also a certain cure for the Dysentary, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach, severe head ache, &c. &c. The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.
CERTIFICATE. Of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 60, south Fifth street, Philadelphia. Sir—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted induces me to request you will lay my case before the public, as an incontestible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachic Elixir of Health.
I do hereby certify that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became so seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe
as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health , and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business.
I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance in the country where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person wish to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me.
I am, with a due sense of the benefit I have received, through the efficacy of your medicine, Sir, your humble servant, WM. JULION. MR. DYOTT. Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
CERTIFICATE, Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race street, Philadelphia.
Sir—For the good of the public and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you than having labored for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sickness at my stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In his hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health , and to my great astonishment before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expectorated a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever a man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most efficacious medicine in the above complaint.
I am, sir, With real respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON. MR. T. DYOTT. August 22.
CERTIFICATE Of Mr. Peter Denham, No. 278, south Second street, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR, It is with the utmost satisfaction I inform you of the cure effected by your truly invaluable Stomachic Elixir of Health, as the whole of my family, including myself being six in number, were violently affected with the influenza, attended with very bad coughs, pains in the limbs, and difficulty of breathing, which continued to increase. I applied to a physician, but his medicines had no effect. Just at that time, having heard of the cures made by Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health I determined to try a bottle of it; I did, and its effects exceeded my expectations. The first two or three doses caused me to expectorate a vast quantity of tough viscid phlegm, and so speedily removed every symptom of the cold, that by the time we had taken three bottles we were all perfectly cured, except a weakness that remained, for which I have administered Dr. Robertson's Patent Wine Bitters , and I have found them wonderfully efficacious in strengthening the system, and destroying of worms, as two of my children have voided a vast quantity by taking them, and are now growing strong and healthy. I have since recommended the above medicines to a number of my friends, who have been immediately relieved by taking them.
It is my desire that you publish this case of my family for the benefit of the public, and those who may be afflicted. Any person desirous of further information, may have every satisfaction, by applying either by letter or personally to me. I am, sir, Your obliged humble servant, PETER DENHAM.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME,  AN ADDRESS TO THE  PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING  AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU-  FACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF  The Improvements in Sheep at Ar-  lington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands. And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confi- dently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to.
