Decree in Chancery.
By virtue of a decree of the superior court of chancery for the Richmond district, pronounced on an appeal, wherein Sarah Chapman, widow of Carr Chapman, deceased, and Susanna Chapman, an infant daughter of the said Carr Chapman, by the said Sarah Chapman, her guardian, were appellants, and Thompson and Veitch were appellees. I shall, on the first Monday in April next, before the court house of Prince William county, sell to the highest bidder, for ready money, or on a credit of 6, 12 & 18 months,
A Tract of Land,
IN the same county, which was granted to Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from William Tebbs for 694 acres, bearing date the 17th and 18th days of June, 1774.
Also, one other tract of Land, in the same county, which was conveyed to the said Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Bertrand Ewell and his wife, and Jesse Ewell and his wife, for 30 acres, more or less, bearing date the 9th and 10th days of April, 1775.
Also, one tract or parcel of Land which was conveyed to the said Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Jesse Ewell and his wife, and Bertrand Ewell and his wife, for 150 acres, more or less, bearing date the 2d and 3d days of January, 1784, all of which deeds are now of record in the county court of Prince William. And also, all the other estate, right, title, claim and possession which Carr Chapman, on the 20th November, 1797, had of and in to the land and real estate whereof his father or any of his ancestors had died, seized or possessed. The above description is taken from the mortgage deed executed by Carr Chapman to Thompson & Veitch on the 20th November, 1797, and now recorded in Prince William court, under which the property is sold. It is understood that the three tracts of land have been united into one which adjoins the town of Dumfries. On it there is a dwelling house & some wood. The general rights described will, as it is believed, comprehend a fourth part of the reversion of all the dower land of Susanna Gwinnett, and one fourth part of the reversion of all the land devised by Thomas Chapman to Elizabeth Overall, after the death of the said Susanna and the said Elizabeth. Bond and approved security will be required.

The following representation, addressed by forty-three members of the house of representatives of this commonwealth to our senators and representatives in congress, will command the attention of every citizen of Pennsylvania; and the proceeding against which it remonstrates (which passed by the vote of forty-one members) must excite the reprehension of every honest and independent man in the United States.
Lancaster, February 12, 1808.
SIR, YOU will probably have received, before this can reach you, a resolution of the senate and house of representatives of Pennsylvania, requesting you to use your endeavors to procure an amendment of the constitution of the United States in that part of it which establishes and regulates the judiciary department. As this resolution has in its progress, been attended with very extraordinary circumstances, which in our opinion materially lessen its weight as an expression of the sentiment of the house of representatives, we deem it proper for your information, and a duty to the people of Pennsylvania, to give you a plain statement of the manner in which it has been passed, and to send you such parts of the journals as contain the minutes of the proceedings.
On the 15th day of December, 1807, the resolution contained in the sixty fourth page of the journal was laid on the table of the house of representatives. On the 30th it was called up and made the order for Monday the 4th of January, 1808. On that day, all the members being present, the house of representatives, according to order, proceeded to the consideration of the resolution. It was debated from day to day until the following Saturday, when after a very full discussion, it was negatived by an equal division of the house, the whole number of members being still present.
On Friday the 8th, while the subject was under discussion, the governor transmitted to both houses copies of the resolution of the general assembly of Vermont upon the same subject. On the 18th day of January the resolution of the general assembly of Vermont was taken up and referred to Messrs Leib, Sergeant, Lacock, Porter and Ingham. It may be material to state that, for reasons of which we are ignorant, the chairman has never called this committee together.
On the 11th January, 1808, the senate referred the resolution from Vermont to a committee. On the 28th the committee made report, in which they proposed a resolution in the words of the one previously negatived by the house of representatives. Report lay upon the table of the senate until Wednesday the 10th of February. At this time (the 10th of February) six members of the house of representatives who had voted against the resolution were absent by consent of the house. Without any previous intimation a motion was made in senate to proceed to the consideration of the report. Efforts were used to procure a short postponement in order to have time to deliberate, and, after the usual period of sitting had elapsed, to obtain an adjournment. They were made, however, in vain. A fixed determination to have an immediate decision was manifested by the advocates of the resolution, and prevailed. The resolution was agreed to at a late hour the same day.
Next morning, the 11th, it was sent down to the house of representatives, and its reception was followed by a motion to proceed immediately to its consideration. The journal, of which we transmit you a copy, renders it unnecessary to state to you particularly the several motions which were made. Nor can it be necessary to explain the grounds and objects of them. They were generally designed to prevent an undue advantage being taken of the absence of a portion of the representatives of the people of Pennsylvania, whose return was shortly expected, to give an unwarrantable expression of the sentiment by the state to her representatives in congress, & to induce them and the other states of the union to believe, that a disposition prevailed to change the constitution of the United States in a very material part. We feel ourselves justified by the former vote of the most popular branch of the legislature in stating that if the sense of the people of Pennsylvania were fairly taken, it would be found that no such disposition existed.
These motions and all attempts to amend the resolution you will perceive were resisted and defeated by the same majority which afterwards adopted the resolution, and the reason more than once avowed was, that the present state of the house enabled the advocates of the resolution to carry it through. The impropriety of this reasoning in a representative body, upon such a question, we respectfully submit to your consideration.
When these motions had failed, those members who were opposed to the resolution sought a discussion. They were answered only by a sullen silence, which is not otherwise material than as it seemed to us to furnish evidence of previous concert founded upon the accidental
state of the house. They persevered, however, in stating, we think in a decorous and respectful manner, the reasons which induced them to vote against the resolution, until even this privilege was denied them by a call for the previous question supported by a majority. Our purpose is not to complain but simply to inform. We cannot, however, refrain from remarking, that we think the people of Pennsylvania have been injuriously treated, in forcing a decision of this question in the absence of so many members, and refusing to those who were present the opportunity of expressing their sentiments. Discussion being thus terminated, the question was taken and the resolution agreed to, forty one to thirty seven.
In submitting this statement, with the accompanying pages of the journal, we are actuated only by a desire to put you in possession of all the circumstances attending the passage of a resolution upon which you may be called to act. Their novelty (to use no stronger epithet) seems to us to justify an explanation which in ordinary cases would be deemed inadmissible.

Lancaster, February 22, 1808.
We, the undersigned members of the house of representatives of Pennsylvania, who were absent when the question was taken, state, that we believe the above representation to be correct; and we further state, that if we had been present we should have voted against the resolution.

CHARLESTON, March 2.
It is evident that some information that is relied on, of a pacific nature respecting our disputes with Great Britain is afloat; whether well founded or not, time must determine; at any rate, some seem to give confidence to the report that a charge will soon take place in our present situation, for there was a considerable call in the market yesterday for cotton at 14 cents, and rice at two dollars. Indeed, we were told, that $2 50 was asked for rice. We have no information that can corroborate these opinions.
[WONDERFUL PLAN!]
A gentleman of considerable information, who has lately returned from Europe, where he has been for a considerable time, related to us a few days ago, the following, as a subject that was much talked of in several well-informed companies in which he was, just before he left the continent:
The powers now at war are to offer Great Britain in the usual way, terms of peace; the ground work of which is to be the freedom of the seas for all nations, as it is explained by the best and most received authorities. She is to be asked to restore nothing without a compensation; what she holds by right of conquest, is so small, that her not restoring it ought not to delay peace for a single day [Malta, Cape of Good Hope and some Dutch colonies]—That if she refuses to treat, the Emperors of France, Russia and Austria, are immediately to call a general Congress of all the powers of Europe, by which the freedom of the seas is to be solemnly decreed and promulgated. G. Britain is then to be cited to send a minister there, to say whether she will agree to abide by what the whole voice of Europe has decreed or not. If she sends a minister, he is to be received in the most honorable manner, and the most favorable terms will be granted to her; no proposal is to be made to her respecting the reduction of her fleet; for if she can conceive that any good can result to her from such an expensive establishment, after the freedom of the seas is fixed, she will be at liberty to act as she pleases.—But if, after being called to this Congress, she should refuse to appear, a solemn manifesto in the name of all Europe, is to issue, in which will be set forth the refusal of Great Britain to let the world be in peace, and her obstinacy in opposing the general wish of Europe who calls on her to make no sacrifices, but only is desirous of putting an end to bloodshed on principles of moderation and justice. If she still continues to be refractory, a general war is to be immediately declared against her and every arm in Europe is to be raised to bring her back to the principles of reason. Fleets and fleets for invading her are to be prepared in every port of the Baltic, on the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean, and armies raised at the general expense for an invasion of the
British Islands. The United States were not to be called on further than, if the powers of Europe were forced to the conflict, they were to abstain from taking part with England and furnishing her with supplies of any kind. It was supposed that they would readily accede to the stipulation; because, no nation has injured her commerce and impressed her seamen but England; and because to no nation could the establishment of the freedom of the seas be more acceptable, as they had the greatest carrying trade, and it appearing to be the disposition of the people of America not to build large fleets to protect what was only valuable, when it could be carried on by just, peaceable and frugal means. If the invasion should be determined on, the conflict would be dreadful; a plan of it had been, it was said, laid before the emperor of France, which was spoken of a master piece of invention and hardly admitted of a doubt of its being successful; a year, and more, it was supposed, must elapse before it could be put in execution, the emperor of France was to direct the whole; two divisions to be called the right wing, were to proceed from the Baltic; one under the command of Prince Constantine, the other under the crown prince of Denmark; several divisions were to proceed from Spain, and Portugal; the commanders of these were not named; though some pretended to say that the Archduke Charles was to be the generalissimo of the left wing, but the main body was to go from France & Holland. The force was to be composed of 200 sail of the line, 300 frigates, and 4000 gun-boats, brigs, sloops of war, &c. &c. and an army of 300,000 men. In short, it is said, that such dreadful preparations are going on, as no history gives a like account of; still it was the wish of every man friendly to the cause of humanity, that it would not be necessary to carry them into execution, & great hopes were entertained that the British government would listen to the terms to be offered, and that in a few months its rage and anger would give way to reason.

Latest from England.
Capt. Tucker, of the North America, arrived yesterday, in a short passage from Dartmouth Eng. brought no late papers. He informs, that the king's speech, delivered at the opening of parliament on 21st January, which he had seen, contained nothing of importance relative to this country. It declared a determination rigorously to prosecute the war against France, &c. Negotiations for peace were much talked of, however, in England at the time capt. T. sailed. The following official note was politely handed to the editor by capt. Tucker.
The Lady Arabella Packet is arrived at Falmouth from N. York in 24 days, and brings an account of an embargo being laid on American vessels within the ports of the U. S. advice of which has been received here by me this day.

CASE OF JOHN SMITH.
Senate of the United States.
MARCH 15.
This being the day assigned by the senate for the further consideration of the report made in this case, Mr. Smith, being himself absent, appeared by his council, who read a long letter from him, addressed to two members of the senate, representing the circumstances which had prevented him from obtaining the evidence deemed by him material to his defence. After reading the letter,
Mr. Harper suggested the hope that further time would be allowed, and that the case would be postponed to the beginning or middle of April.
Mr. Hillhouse moved a postponement to the first Monday in April.
Messrs. Robinson, Crawford, Gregg and Anderson opposed, and Mr. Adams supported this motion.
Mr. Kitchell expressed a hope that, if a postponement obtained, it would not be so distant a day.
Mr. Hillhouse acquiesced in this suggestion.
Mr. Giles moved a postponement to Monday week.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Giles, Adams and Bayard, and was opposed by Messrs. S. Smith and Anderson; when the question was taken by yeas and nays, and the motion negatived. Yeas fifteen, nays seventeen.
At the request of Mr. Smith's counsel the business was postponed till to-morrow.
EMBARGO LAW.
We have received a copy of the bill supplementary to the act laying an embargo, which shall be given at length in our next. The following, which is the last section, relates to vessels departing in ballast, in order to convey home property in foreign ports, belonging to citizens of the United States:—[Phil. Gaz.
Section 7. And be it further enacted, That the president of the United States be and is hereby authorised, if he shall be satisfied by a statement of account current, or oath or affirmation of any citizen or citizens of the United States, and such other proof as the nature of the case will admit or the president may require, that such citizens have property of value in any port or place without the jurisdiction of the United States arising from property actually without such jurisdiction to the 23rd day of December last, to grant on application, permission to such citizen or citizens to dispatch a vessel in ballast to such port or place, for the purpose of importing into the U. S. such property.
Provided, That bond with sufficient security be given to the United States, under the direction of the secretary of the treasury, in such a sum as he shall deem necessary, with the following conditions, to wit: That such vessel shall not export from the U. S. any specie, or any goods, wares or merchandise, of foreign or domestic growth or manufacture, necessary provisions and stores excepted, that she shall return, reasonable time being allowed for performing the voyage, to the United States, with such property, and that she shall not during the voyage, either directly or indirectly be engaged in any traffic, freight, or other employment; and that no goods, wares or merchandise shall be imported in such vessel, other than the property for which such vessel shall obtain such permission; or the proceeds of property shipped bona fide by a citizen or citizens of the U. S. prior to the said twenty-second day of Dec. last:
And provided also, That the bond herein directed to be taken, shall not be cancelled unless the secretary of the treasury be satisfied either by the oath of the party or parties to the same, or such other proof as the nature of the case will admit, that the conditions of the said bond have been complied with.
And provided further, That the owner or owners, factor or agents, master or mate of such vessel shall on her return to the U. S. make oath or affirmation that such permission, during the voyage for which such permission has been granted, either directly or indirectly, been employed in any act contrary to the tenor of such bond.
Frost bitten Potatoes.—Are restored to their natural taste and flavor by being steeped in cold water for 12 hours before they are boiled.
Potatoes are also preserved from decay in the latter season, by drying them on a kiln or in any other convenient way. The exclusion of the superfluous moisture renders the vegetable more wholesome, whilst it prevents the process of germination, which is destructive to the old root.

(CIRCULAR.) Treasury Department, March 2.
Sir, I enclose the printed copy of an act supplementary to the act entitled "An act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise."
The third section exempts from the prohibition all articles imported on board any vessel of the United States, cleared before the 14th day of December last, provided such vessel shall return within a limited time. Although the penalties already incurred be not thereby positively remitted, I think it consistent with the spirit of the provision, to direct that all the articles seized and libelled under the non-importation act, and which had been imported in vessels as above described, be restored to the parties, and that all the proceedings in relation thereto be discontinued on payment of costs. This instruction is not to apply to articles imported in foreign vessels, or vessels without register; nor to any articles imported either clandestinely or under falsified invoices.
I am, respectfully, Your obedient servant, (Signed) ALBERT GALLATIN. The collector in Philadelphia.
AN ACT
Supplementary to the act, entitled "An act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise."
Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the U. S. of America in congress assembled, That nothing in the act to which this is a supplement, shall be so construed as to prohibit the importation of the following articles, that is to say:
First. Wrappers and outside packages in which goods, the importation of which is not prohibited, usually are and shall be wrapped or packed at the time of importation.
Second. Bags or sacks in which salt shall be imported.
Third. Glass bottles or phials, in which drugs, medicines or any other articles the importation of which is not prohibited shall be imported.

GIBRALTAR TRADE.
HEAD QUARTERS, GIBRALTAR, 5th January, 1808.
In addition to what has already been published, all those concerned are further apprized, that no Spanish vessel will be licensed if above one hundred tons burthen, that no spirits will be allowed to be imported; that no armed vessel can be licensed; and that no vessel is provided to import articles from any port, provided it can be proved, that the vessel did not actually sail from said port subsequent to the date of the license.
The requisition, according to the regulated form, may be either in English or Spanish, but would be more convenient if printed; and, instead of mentioning the proposed landing in general terms, as was before ordered, it is found necessary to direct, that the quantity & description of said articles of which the cargo is composed shall be inserted, describing it to be manufacture or produce of his majesty's dominion's that it has been imported into Gibraltar in a British ship or from Great Britain direct (as the case may be). The articles of fish, however imported, may be exported under license, provided the moiety of it shall
have been imported in a British ship, or from a British port; and if the cargo be mixed, that at least one moiety (or half) of it shall consist of articles exported from Great Britain.
By command. (Signed) A. I. DALRYMPLE, capt. mil. sec.
HEAD QUARTERS, GIBRALTAR, 7th January.
General Regulations proposed at this port. — Every article of the produce or manufacture of his majesty's dominions, and every article imported direct from Great Britain, or in any British ship, intended to be exported under license, must be landed in the place, and the ship's manifest registered in the secretary's office, from whence permits will be issued for the re-embarkation.
With respect to the articles of fish, the certificate of the pratique master, that the same has been imported in a British ship, or from a British port, will be sufficient to regulate the proportion of that article shipped under license.
By command. (Signed) A. I. DALRYMPLE, capt. mil. sec.
DIED , in Dumfries, on Monday evening last, Mr. JOHN CARR, aged 27, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with becoming fortitude—than whom a purer spirit never ascended into the realms of eternal felicity. He was the joy and pride of his now much afflicted relatives, the delight and ornament of that domestic circle which he cheered by his benevolence, and animated by his smiles; and as a friend and companion he shone eminently resplendent. But the cruel dart of inexorable death stabs indiscriminately, and neither genius nor virtue, can avert the fatal blow.

JUST PUBLISHED And for Sale at the Book-Store of JAMES KENNEDY, SEN. King-street, Alex'a. A NEW AND GREATLY IMPROVED FAMILY PHYSICIAN, ENTITLED The Planter's & Mariner's MEDICAL COMPANION. By JAMES EWELL, Physician at Savannah.
RECOMMENDATIONS. In testimony of the merits of this work, the following certificates presented by some of the most distinguished Medical characters of the United States, are inserted.
Philadelphia, Dec. 31, 1807. SIR, I have read your book, entitled "The Planter's and Mariner's Medical Companion" with pleasure, and think it worthy the attention of the citizens of the United States. W. SHIPPEN, M. D. Professor of Anatomy.
Philadelphia, Dec. 31, 1807. DEAR SIR, I have carefully perused your work, just printed, entitled "The Planter's and Mariner's Medical Companion." I take much pleasure in expressing my entire approbation of the plan of the work, and of the utility with which you have conducted your enquiries. Your book cannot fail to be a very acceptable present to the public in general, and especially of our own countrymen. I really am of opinion, that you are entitled to much praise for the pains which you have taken in furnishing us with a work, such as the "Medical Companion," the want of which has long been experienced among us. With sincere wishes for your health and happiness, and for the continuance of your usefulness, I remain, my dear sir, Your friend, &c. B. S. BARTON, M. D. Professor of Materia Medica, Natural History and Botany. Dr. James Ewell.
December 28th, 1807. I have read "The Planter's and Mariner's Medical Companion," by Dr. James Ewell, of the state of Georgia, with pleasure and satisfaction. It is a book containing a variety of matter in a small compass. The practice which he recommends in diseases, is modern and judicious, and the work cannot fail of being useful, in all families in the United States. JAMES WOODHOUSE, M. D. Professor of Chemistry in the
University of Pennsylvania. Dr. James Ewell.
Philadelphia, Dec. 26th, 1807. DEAR SIR, I have looked over "The Planter's and Mariner's Medical Companion" with great pleasure, and not a little instruction. I find it an excellent remembrancer of much that I have already learnt from other works, and from professional experience. Being better adapted to the general circumstances of the United States than any other production of the kind hitherto published, it cannot fail to prove an invaluable "Companion" to those remote from medical aid. That all your views in the publication of it may be more than realised, is the sincere wish of
Your friend and obedient servant, Charles Caldwell, M. D. Dr. James Ewell.
Philadelphia, December 29, 1807. DEAR SIR, The work entitled, "The Planter & Mariner's Medical Companion," which you were good enough to submit to my examination, I have read very attentively, and I consider it the most useful popular treatise on medicine, ever published.
The writings of Tissot, Buchan, and Reese, on this subject, have deservedly acquired reputation, but their practice is adapted rather to the diseases of the countries in which they lived, than to those of our own.
A well digested work, in a style plain and familiar, which should inculcate a practice suited to the diseases of the United States has been long required. You have now supplied the want. I trust that your very valuable book may be widely circulated. It is certainly calculated to do much good. Every family should purchase and carefully read it.
N. Chapman, M. D. Lecturer on midwifery, and the diseases of women and children. Dr. James Ewell.
DEAR SIR, I have carefully perused your "Medical Companion," and have much pleasure in asserting that it abounds with excellent observations, well calculated to convey valuable instruction to all who are not possessed of regular information on the subjects of which it treats. It is easy of comprehension, and has an important advantage in being short, whilst it leaves little that is essential unnoticed. Heads of families will find it a useful guide on many interesting occasions. Were indeed, men in general to give more attention to the principles of diseases, and the means of remedying them, their ravages might be much more extensively mitigated. With my best wishes for your success in your endeavors to lessen the sum of human evils, I beg you to be assured, that I am, dear sir yours with sincere regard, John Crawford, M. D. Baltimore, 7th March, 1808. To Dr. James Ewell.
Baltimore, March 3d, 1808.
DEAR SIR, We have read over your publication entitled the "Planter's and Mariner's Medical Companion" with much satisfaction, and consider it as meriting esteem for the concise & accurate history which it gives of the various diseases of the human body, (few if any of which, we believe are omitted) and the method of care, which, is both rational and agreeable to our experience. We are happy that you have made use of the new facts that have occurred in medicine, in that plain and easy manner which renders them easy to be comprehended and acted upon by persons of moderate knowledge in disease. We can recommend it, with propriety, to that class of citizens who have not an opportunity or means of procuring regular medical advice, and consider it as fully answering the intention of your benevolence to people of these states, in its compilation.
We are your well wishers, Littlejohn & Donaldson. Dr. James Ewell.
DEAR SIR, We have perused your book, entitled the "Planter's and Mariner's Medical Companion," with much satisfaction, and strongly recommend it to the attention of those families who cannot with convenience procure medical aid. We think it the best publication we have ever read, on the domestic treatment of diseases, more especially as it regards those of our climate.
We are, Very respectfully, Sir, Your most obedient servants, Brown & Mackenzie. Baltimore, 4th March, 1808. Dr. James Ewell.
SIR, I have read your work on Domestic Medicine, with pleasure. The practice recommended in it is, I think judicious, and I have no doubt that the solitary planter and the voyager, secluded from medical aid, will often be under great obligations to you. Your work is the first that has been written for family use in this country, and being from the pen of a native physician, has great advantage over the publications of Buchan and Tissot. If its dissemination shall prove equal to what it merits, you will soon have a call for another edition.
I am, with respect, John Shaw, A. M. Professor of Chemistry, in the College of Medicine of Maryland.
DEAR SIR, I have looked over your "Medical Companion" with pleasure and satisfaction, and approve of the design. The arrangement of the various parts is judicious, the language is plain and perspicuous, and the sentiments happily condensed—the modes of treatment grow out of the more improved state of our science, and may serve not only as a safe and useful guide to the "Planter and Mariner," but are well calculated from their intrinsic merit to suggest hints to the medical practitioner.
Every family, cut off from the regular services of able physicians, would in my opinion, with advantage, possess one of your volumes.
Accept the homage of my regard. John B. Davidge, M. D. Professor of Anatomy, Surgery, &c. in the College of Medicine of Maryland. Baltimore, Feb. 19, 1808.
George Town, Columbia, March 3d, 1808.
DEAR SIR, The ample testimonials of approbation prefixed to your work, entitled "The Medical Companion" will I hope, secure you the patronage of your countrymen.
It belongs exclusively to the real physician to be able to determine the merit of medical compositions; and your book has auspiciously conciliated the unequivocal commendations of medical names of no common note.
Few physicians meet with the rewards of their well meant and laborious exertions in the cause of humanity: but that your laudable exertions may be liberally rewarded is the sincere wish of
Yours, John Weems, M. D. Dr. James Ewell. March 17. 2 18w4t

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

Mount-Washington for Sale.
I will sell my FARM in Fairfax county, and give immediate possession. It is less than three miles from Alexandria, and six from the George-Town ferry—the distance from the projected bridge will be less—the house stands on an elevated hill, and over looks the City, Alexandria, the river, with the shore, and hills of Maryland. The house which I erected, and is nearly finished, consists of a center house two stories high, and wings of one, joined to it, by circular corridors, the north wing contains 2 small rooms, the front of it, and the corridor adjoining, intended for a green house, this leads to a drawing room—a dining room separated from it by the passage and stair-case, is next to the south corridor which contains 3 closets, and leads to the kitchen—two small rooms in this wing with the kitchen—a pump of excellent water at the door. The second story of the center house contains 3 chambers and a dressing room, with fire places—a large closet adjoins the dining room—one of the same size opens on the stair case, both fitted up with shelves—a store room in the garret, and cupola on the house top, from whence is seen a delightful, variegated landscape, completes the description of the mansion house. A neat cottage accommodates laborers, and there are stables, a carriage house, and ice house; the farm contains 103 acres, 70 enclosed and cultivated, the rest in wood; this place boasts the finest collection of fruit that I have seen, besides every other sort; the list given to me was 800 apples, 800 peaches, and 300 cherry trees: I have added several hundred of the best kinds.—The garden consists of 12 large squares, the soil enriched and borders filled with fruit trees, and bushes; it is surrounded by a live cedar hedge, which also extends on each side of the house: the former proprietor possessed much taste, and collected many ornamental trees and shrubs, which are judiciously disposed about the grounds. The soil is suitable for grass, and the portion of ground devoted to timothy and clover, yield an abundant crop; it produced good wheat and oats last year, and I think with small expense may be rendered productive. Those who wish a residence, where health will be preserved, and convenience of intercourse with Alexandria, George-Town, and the seat of government, will find all combined in Mount-Washington . I will shew the premises and impart the terms of sale, upon applications by letters directed to the Post-Office, Alexandria.
