Twenty five Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, sometime in the months of November or December last,
A NEGRO MAN by the name of SAM, who was hired in the town of Alexandria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 39 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very frail, of rather a yellowish or tawny complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice, and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at Col. Jemmeson's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland. If he is taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give Thirty Dollars reward.

HAMBURG, May 29.
His excellency marshal Dumonceau set out yesterday for Breda.
The Dutch troops which occupy Cuxhaven have taken possession of an English boat with 100 men on board: this so enraged the captain of the frigate to which she belonged, that he fired several shot into Cuxhaven; but the only damage they did was to knock down a few chimneys.
His excellency marshal Brune has arrived at Stettin: the public authorities of that city have complimented him by a deputation.
Stralsund has been always considered as the spot fixed upon for the disembarkation of the English; but as no sale of horses, provisions and other necessaries for troops has been made, many people still doubt whether the disembarkation will take place at that city.
Travellers who left the grand army on the 24th May, are unable to describe the warlike spirit which animates the soldiers; and they all agree in the opinion that some important event will take place about the middle of June.
The gazettes of Copenhagen confirm the defeat of the Russians at Weissemunde; Danzig, say they, is still amply furnished with wheat although it is entirely destitute of fresh meat.
A German print has just published a letter from Prussia, the author of which, after having stated the position of the Russian and Prussian and French armies, offers the following reflections on the advantages of the latter: "In case (says he) the Russians should even oblige the French army to abandon its present position, it would find an excellent one upon the Dreyenitz. The vicinity of Thorn, whose immense magazines are still almost untouched, would afford it still a more easy and safe subsistence; while the Russians, in taking possession of a country entirely exhausted, would scarcely be able to find provisions. Indeed they, as well as the Prussians, already experience the greatest difficulty in the country which they at present occupy. The villages occupied by the Russians are almost ruined, and a great number of them are deserted by the inhabitants. It is said that the situation of these villages has made a deep impression upon the heart of the king. The country occupied by the Russians is little better treated; beasts of burden are no longer to be seen there; and the detachments of cavalry which go from the Passarge to Schippenbell in search of forage are often obliged to fasten their own horses to the carriages." The author then speaks of the negotiations for peace which are believed to be carrying on, and of the hopes which are entertained of them; and then complains bitterly of the exaggerated reports which are circulated in the Prussian army relative to the demands of the emperor Napoleon: "However good (says he) may be the spirit which animates this little army, whatever fortitude it has displayed in suffering continual fatigues, it is not the less certain that they sustain them only in the hope of seeing their country speedily restored to peace: for that enthusiasm with which they formerly attacked the French, and those sanguine hopes which they once cherished, have long since disappeared; they have vanished like smoke."
The following is said to be the exact position of the Russian and Prussian army: The Prussians form the right wing of the allied army; its right goes as far as Frischaff, and its left extends to Wormditt. The Passarge separates it from the French army: that river being shallow Prussian deserters frequently cross it and join the French army. According to their accounts, the Prussian army is by far the most extended, considering its number. The Russians occupy the line which goes from Wormditt to Schippenbell, by Heilsberg and Barrenstein. They have strong advanced guards posted before their wings and centre. General Platow, commander of the Cossacks, commands the left wing and reconnoitres as far as Ostelsbourg. A corps of the Russian army detached from the main body, is posted between Bialystock and the Bug.
The country occupied by the Russians is completely devastated & in many villages there remains not a single inhabitant. That occupied by the Prussians is used much better. This is owing to the different discipline of the two armies. The Cossacks plunder their friends with as little mercy as they do their enemies.
The communication between the French and the Russian and Prussian head quarters is very frequent; and it is generally believed that negotiations for the re-establishment of peace are carrying on, with considerable prospect of success. The Prussians appear to hope for it with the utmost anxiety.
PARIS, June 6.
hishment of peace are carrying on, with considerable prospect of success. The Prussians appear to hope for it with the utmost anxiety.
The last letters from Italy announce, that a corps of Montenegrins, together with a number of the inhabitants of Cattaro, had made an attempt on the 2d May, to take possession of the village of Tubinia, in Turkish Albania, but the governor who had received some reinforcements from general Lauriston, had totally defeated the insurgents, who left three hundred dead upon the field of battle.
One of our papers to-day has published the following letter from the camp at Dantzig, written by a superior officer of the Imperial corps of artillery:
"At the moment in which I write, the articles of capitulation are adjusting. The siege of Dantzig will be memorable in history. By a singularity which will characterize the wars of the four coalitions, these campaigns, so fruitful in immortal battles, have produced very few sieges. For thirty days and nights, we have fired incessantly upon the place, which has constantly answered us. Furnished with an immense quantity of artillery and with abundance of provisions, her means of defence were certainly superior to our means of attack. But, fortunately, the skill of our officers, cannoniers, and the bravery of our troops, surmounted every obstacle. Dantzig would not have held out more than ten or fifteen days, if we could have procured any heavy artillery from the arsenals of France; but at a distance of nearly three hundred leagues from our frontiers, we were obliged to equip ourselves in the enemy's own country. Every nation has some peculiar method of making their artillery; and our cannoniers have often regretted the want of their French pieces. The only consideration which consoles them, and which sometimes serves as food for their gaiety, is, that they did not throw a shell or burn a single pound of powder which was not at the expense of the enemy; and in fact it was with Prussian cannon that we took a Prussian city."
"The capture of Dantzig is an event at which all good Frenchmen will rejoice, but of which soldiers alone can feel the great importance. With the exception of the descent of gen. Kamensky, and the battle of the 15th, the enemy made no attempt to preserve a place, on the preservation or loss of which may depend the whole success of the campaign. From the result of this siege, we have discovered a truth fatal to the emperor of Russia; it has given us the secret of his real strength. If Alexander I. after having been for three months employed in collecting around him the forces of his empire, has not dared to hazard a battle for the preservation of Dantzig, with what terror must he view the reduction of that place, now that our invincible emperor, reinforced in one day by 50,000 soldiers, has nothing to oppose him but men! The Russians can now no longer rely for safety upon the snow and the ice: we shall now find the direct road to them; and the banks of the Pregel will perhaps ere long witness a day not less fatal to Russia than that of Jena was to Prussia."
Letters from Poland state, that (thanks to the care and activity of the existing authorities) the French army is supplied with provisions in abundance, and has besides very considerable magazines established at Thorn. The Russian army does not enjoy the same advantages; it suffers extremely for the want of provisions and other articles of the first necessity. The country in which it is encamped is entirely ruined.
The mission of the Swedish general count De Wrede, to Pomerania, has for its object, it is said, to enter upon negotiations immediately with a French plenipotentiary. There is every reason to believe that it will have a happy termination.
Accounts from the borders of the Maine state, that the "Confederation of the Rhine" will soon assume another denomination, more analogous to the number of princes who have joined it, and to the extent of their dominions. It is asserted that it is in contemplation to stile it the Germanic Confederation.
From the Boston Gazette.
HAMBURG, 26th May, 1807.
"SIR, "ABOUT twenty years since, I was dining with Mr. JEFFERSON, when minister of the United States in Paris. He then observed, that the science of government was rapidly advancing in the world; and that he did not believe there
would remain, in twenty five years, a single monarchical form in all Europe. The contrary yet appears to prevail at this day, as their does not exist a single republic. By his notes on Virginia, one was also then led to believe that the sciences and the arts were all taking flight from the eastern to the western hemisphere; and that the former would shortly be involved in darkness and barbarism; a prediction, as it now appears, equally erroneous with the former!
"Is it not clear, therefore, that he wanted a just conception of the principles, which govern human nature? He confounded causes and effects—he mistook the ebullitions of the passions and the irregular movements of the rabble, suddenly let loose from the shackles of despotism, for liberty! He ought to have known that a free government, could only be founded by men of ability, integrity, and honor, well acquainted with the manners, morals, religion, laws, customs and usages of a people; as institutions and laws made for one community would be totally inadequate for another, in a proportion as each may have advanced from a savage to a refined and polished state of life. As well might you expect that a savage could seize at once at the sublime moral beauties of christianity, as to expect that the subject of an ancient and corrupt monarchy, could of a sudden relish and embrace the simple and pure doctrine of republicanism. It is difficult, at this distance, to judge correctly of the motives of men; yet we have often thought, that there is as great a portion of vanity, ambition and thirst for power, in your democratic candidates as in our European princes; we otherwise cannot account for your present hero continuing in office, in his advanced age, and in his debilitated state, instead of retiring to Monticello, which he formerly so much desired.
"In the choice of a president, it is necessary to find a man, who knows how to act with firmness in all cases, for the good of all; unmoved by considerations of public favor or popular applause; one who has boldness and energy, who feels the dignity of his station, and who knows the importance of placing himself and country in such a posture of defence, as to be able to chastise an insolent foe. A nation is always respected in proportion to her visible power to repel and resent injuries, and insults, more than from any moral considerations, or probable force she may be able to bring into action.
"The French emperor, having to act with princes and magistrates, unmindful of their own preservation, has sown dissensions in the different states in the ancient Germanic empire, and dissolved it, and attached many of its members to his own, by intimidating some, and encouraging others. This has arose from a want of unity of action; from not having a well organized force to defend ourselves with; as well as from a want of a proper and distinguished chief at the head of the empire.
"Our national character and consideration is now lost; and we are without the means to regain it. Let America take care, and be guarded against intestine feuds and dissensions: let her choose men not only for their integrity, but because they are able readily to discern what may be useful; and who may possess, at the same time, acumen, courage and conduct, to carry into effect whatever measures may be necessary to maintain its national honor and independence. The lessons we have had are melancholy proofs that moral reasonings, proclamations and manifestoes, have little influence to stop the progress of armies, when war is determined on. If some of the contending powers should finally gain a decided preponderance, it is no unnatural or impossible thing to imagine, that you may experience the mischievous effects of it. You would be an easy prey, your rich cities and ports are very accessible to invaders. A conquering nation often imagines that it has a right also to take from a neutral the great advantages she may have derived from belligerents during a state of war, and particularly when that neutral is not in a situation to offer resistance.
"I shall shortly write you again, as I am in daily expectation of hearing something from the seat of war in Poland. Yours, very truly,
"A. G. VON BLAKER."

NEW YORK, August 1.
By the ship Hare, captain Barry, from Bordeaux, we have received French papers to the 14th of June, from one of which the following interesting article is translated for the Mercantile Advertiser.
Frankfort, June 4.
The following details on the position of the Russian and Prussian army are given as authentic. The corps of Prussian troops form the right wing of the coalesced army. Its right is supported by Frischaff, and its left extends to Wormditt. The Passarge separates it from the French troops; that river is very shallow, Prussian deserters often pass it over to the French army. From their reports it would seem that the Prussian troops are much too far extended, comparatively to their number. The Russians occupy the line leading from Wormditt to Schippenbell through Heilsberg & Barrenstein. They have strong guards posted in the front of their wings and centre. General Platow, hetman of the Cossacks commands that of the left wing and carries his reconnoitres as far as Ostelsbourg. A body of Russian troops separated from the Russian and main army is stationed between Bialystock and the Bug.
The communication between the French, Prussian & Russian head quarters continues to be very frequent; and a general opinion is prevalent, that negotiations for the re-establishment of peace are followed up with some hopes of success. The Prussians appear to be extremely desirous of it. According to the Nuremberg Gazette, M. de Novosilzof and baron de Hardenberg have arrived at the French head quarters as plenipotentiaries.
SAVANNAH, July 17.
By a gentleman just arrived in this city, in 24 days from Pensacola, information has been received, that Foulch, governor of that place, had absconded to New Orleans, having been discovered an accomplice with Burr, in his nefarious schemes against the independence of this country.
NORFOLK, July 30.
Captain Benthall informs us that a few days before he left Madeira, a brig arrived from Lisbon, which brought an account of an Earthquake on the 6th June, having done great damage to that city, particularly to the aqueduct.
The brig Flora, captain Benthall, arrived this morning from Charante and Madeira, left June 5, in Rochfort Roads. A French line of battle ship of 130 guns, 4 of 84, 2 frigates, and 4 brigs, blockaded by six English 74's at anchor off the mouth of the harbor, said they expected the French out every day.
Mr. Davis, pilot, was brought to yesterday by the Triumph, sir Thomas Hardy, who put on board a black man belonging to Baltimore. Mr. D. was also informed, that there were eight more Americans on board that would be given up on proper application.
RICHMOND, July 29.
We are informed that the executive have ordered the cavalry from Richmond and Petersburg, now on duty at Norfolk, to be immediately discharged; authorising gen. Mathews to call others into service from the counties in the neighborhood of that place; if, in his opinion, hereafter, it shall be necessary.
We understand, also, that the president of the United States, has (for special reasons) thought proper to direct the five British prisoners lately taken by captain Sheppard, to be restored, together with their boat and arms; still requiring, however, the terms of his proclamation to be rigorously enforced against any persons, from British armed vessels, who shall hereafter come on shore for the purpose of procuring water or provisions.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 4.
On Saturday last the President of the United States left the city of Washington to visit Monticello.
The town of Chudleigh, in England, was almost totally consumed by fire, on the 27th of May; 175 houses were entirely destroyed.
Letters from London by the Amel. state that "Flour was of dull sale from 40 to 44 shillings—Coffee in brisk demand shipping for the continent."

Extract of a letter from Adair , (S. C.) dated the 1st inst.  "I have just returned from a visit to my cotton on St. Helena. From all appearances, prospects are very discouraging—we have a worm there which resembles the caterpillar, that is playing destruction with our fields of cotton at corn. I have this morning come out of my field here, and found they are cutting the stalks and tender pods of cotton. The corn is stripped off its blade, and they destroy every part of it which is tender. The grass does not escape them—after they have gone over it, it looks as though a fire had passed thro' the field."
Capt. Hanson, of the schooner Mary-Ann, who arrived at Savannah, on the twelfth inst. in fourteen days from St. Thomas, informs, that on the 23d ult. he was spoke from a British sloop cutter, and ordered to hoist out his boat and come on board with his papers, and while in the act of launching her, several guns were fired at his vessel from the cutter; after which, he boarded the cutter, where he was detained an hour and then he was ordered to proceed on his voyage. Same night was fired into by the sloop of war Pearl, Capt. Campbell, who ordered him to come on board with his papers, which was complied with. Captain C. detained Captain H. and two of his men on board the schooner with instructions to proceed to Tortola; but owing to the mismanagement of the crew, the schooner was thrown on her beam ends, which shifted the cargo and injured it materially—finding it impossible to work the vessel in such a condition, the Englishman sent Capt. H. and his men on board of his vessel, and took his own on board the Pearl, when Captain H. was permitted to prosecute his voyage as well as he could. Capt. H. on the 11th inst. about 12 miles to the northward of Tybee, was boarded by an officer from a tender to a British sloop of war, and was carried on board the sloop in the tender's boat. The conduct of the officer from the tender, to Capt. H. was extremely abusive, damaging him for an American and a Yankee, and the colors under which he sailed, and for not hoisting them when he saw one of his majesty's vessels of war; and asking him with a sneer, whether he did not know that war was declared between Great Britain and America?
Shall this question prove to be a truth, these "loyal subjects" may shell the bilge water in old Charon's boat, before they wish it.  Extract of a letter from the Savannah, dated July 15th, 1807, to a gentleman in Washington.  "Unfortunately, sir, I am under the disagreeable necessity to inform you that the yellow fever and black vomit rage violently amongst the crews of our vessels, and some of the citizens of the United States who are now in this city."
"I have not heard that any other class of people than the citizens of the United States, have been attacked with this horrid distemper. Whether it is owing to their intemperate manner of living, which has been sometimes carried to excess even here, and in the most fair season of the year, is what I cannot undertake to say; but I fear that example and danger will not teach many of my countrymen to be more moderate even in this critical moment than at any other period."
LONDON, May 29.  Copy of a letter from the president of the United States of America to the king of Holland, intercepted by one of the ships of the North Sea squadron, under the command of admiral Russel.  Great and good Friend,  Having received your letter of Sept. last, which notifies your accession to the throne of Holland, I tender you, in behalf of the United States, my congratulations on this event. Connected with that nation by the earliest ties of friendship, and maintaining with them uninterrupted relations of peace and commerce, no event which interests their welfare can be indifferent to us. It is, therefore, with the greatest pleasure I receive the assurances of your majesty, that you will continue to cherish those ancient relations, and we shall, on our part, endeavor to strengthen your good will by a faithful observance of justice, and by all the good offices which occasion shall permit.  Distant as we are from the powers of Europe, and devoted to pursuits which separate us from their affairs, we still look with brotherly concern on what affects those nations, and offer constant prayers for their welfare. With a friendly solicitude for your majesty's person, I pray God that he may always have you, great and good friend, in his holy keeping.  Written at the city of Washington, the 28th day of February, 1807.  Your good friend, TH. JEFFERSON.  By order of the President, JAMES MADISON, Sec. of State.
United States' Frigate Chesapeake , July 26, 1807.  SIR,  I have discovered in your paper of the 15th inst. a publication signed "A Friend to Justice." From the tenor of said publication, it appears evident that the writer who styles himself "A Friend to Justice," in his anxiety to prevent public prejudice from falling on commodore Barron, has thought proper to hold me up as a proper object for censure. So much of this story as reflects upon me, I feel it a duty I owe myself to declare false, and without foundation. This I shall be able to prove by many, and by commodore Barron himself.
Many reports injurious to my reputation have been in circulation, said to have originated with commodore Barron. On hearing them, I applied to the commodore to know whether those reports originated with him. He has disavowed them, and has even offered to confute the authors, friends or foes. I therefore cannot think this statement, which in substance is the same he has disavowed, will meet his approbation.  Since this unfortunate affair has taken place, I have been particularly cautious in mentioning any thing that might tend to increase the public prejudice on the subject. I had hoped that it would not be necessary for me to vindicate myself, until called upon by proper authority. I still hope that those who call themselves the friends of commodore Barron, will not render it necessary for me, in vindication of my own character, to state facts.
You, and all other editors who have published the remarks signed, "A Friend to Justice," will, I hope, do me the justice to re-publish it, inserting this reply.  Yours, &c. CHAS. GORDON. The Editor of the Washington Federalist.
OF FRUGALITY AND EXPENSES.  Balance your expenses by the just weight of your own estate, and not by the price of another's spending.  It is good advice of the philosopher, measure the stone by your rule, and not your rule by the stone.  Certain young men, being reproved by Zeno for their prodigality, excused themselves, saying, "they had plenty enough, out of which they did it." "Would you excuse a cook," said he, "that should over-salt his meat, because he had a store of salt?"
A good layer up, makes a good layer out, and a good saver makes a good spender.  Diogenes asked of a thrifty man but a halfpenny; of a prodigal a pound. The former, he said, might give him often, but the latter would shortly have nothing to give.  At the first entrance into your estate, keep a low sail; you may rise with honor, but you cannot decline without shame.  Some young gentlemen think it good policy to wear their lands upon their backs, to see no waste be done by their tenants.
Remarks on the Weather.  In a serene summer morning, if there be no dew, rain may be expected before night. On the contrary a hazy morning in summer, when the spider webs are plenty upon outer doors, fences, trees, &c. it is a very sure sign of a hot day.  If the chimney smoke, instead of ascending, be beaten down upon the roofs of the houses, there is rain in the air, and if the smoke in the day fall to the ground, rain may be expected within twelve hours.
Ports. Oracle.  EXTRACT.  "So much have our common pursuits, which we plead as the means of supporting life, diverted men from the true ends for which they were sent into the world, that the judicious and pious in all ages, since the time of Solomon, have readily subscribed to his opinion, that all of them are indeed "vanity and vexation of spirit." For we find there are some who spend their whole time in grammar and rhetoric, or in learning to speak well, without allowing themselves any leisure to study the more important concerns of living well.  "There are many who by arithmetic learn to divide every thing into the most minute fractions, yet do not know how to divide a halfpenny with a poor afflicted brother, in the way of charity.  "Many by the help of geometry, can set limits to grounds, and separate them from one another; can measure cities and coun-
tries; and yet cannot attain to any rule whereby they are enabled to measure themselves.  "The philosopher disputes gravely and accurately of the nature of things, and yet perhaps is no wiser than a child, as to the nature of himself and the things of heaven.  "The physician takes care of the health of others; but as to the knowledge of the disease of his own mind, may be blind as a beetle; he diligently watches the variations of his patient's pulse; but how to cure the evil dispositions and wrong tempers in himself, he perhaps knows and cares but very little about them.  "The lawyer, though he has spent whole years in the construction and exposition of human laws, for the government of others, is too often but little acquainted, with that divine law which teaches and enjoins a strict government over his own actions.  "The theologian earnestly contends for, and disputes about faith, but too seldom thinks of charity: he speaks much of God; but to help his neighbor in time of need, he has too little concern.  "The merchant is solicitous of gain from every part to which he can extend his trade; yet seldom troubles his head in establishing a correspondence with that happy country which offers the richest merchandise, "which neither moth can corrupt, nor thieves have power to steal."  "The farmer, though duly exercised with much toil and fatigue, in breaking up and improving the most stubborn and rugged soils, with a view to a beneficial crop, yet how does he neglect, year after year, to break up and improve the barren soil of his own heart, which, without equal care and cultivation, will never produce that harvest of good works, which makes truly rich, and adds no sorrow.  "Arts and sciences do indeed weary the minds of men with continual labor, but yield them no true felicity.  "It is religion only which can regulate the heart: it causeth it to melt in sympathy with distress, or to glow with pleasure at the happiness of another: it is that alone can harmonize the mind.  "Attuning all its passions into peace."  "Virtue's the friend of life, the soul of health,  "The poor man's comfort and the rich man's wealth."

New Invented Oven.
I HAVE obtained from the general government an exclusive privilege in an OVEN I have invented on entire new principles, for baking all kinds of bread, the advantages of my plan over those hitherto used, are in the usual mode: The oven is first heated the fire scraped out and the dough put in to bake, when the oven is hottest and as the bread bakes the oven gradually cools, it will surely be conceded when bread is first put into an oven it is most tender and least capable of bearing heat—on my plan the bread is put into the oven at the extreme end, or where the heat is least and as it bakes it regularly progresses into a keener heat until baked. Again, it is acknowledged the thinner bread is baked the better it is and the longer it will keep; in the usual mode of baking the thinner the bread the smaller quantity the oven will bake per day; on my plan as the oven is constantly in blast, the thinner the bread the more the oven will bake; added to this the labor of splitting wood is saved—the heating, cleaning and setting an oven also. An oven on my plan if well built, is much more durable, takes up less room to do the same business, costs much less money to build it, requires less fuel to bake the same quantity of bread, fewer hands can do the same business, in fact, a mind (superior to prejudices often attendant on customs long established) will be satisfied on a view of my oven in operation. I have narrated facts only for those who have not an opportunity of seeing the oven in operation.
I subjoin the certificates of gentlemen whose respectability will not be questioned. For an oven of twenty feet length and three feet six inches width, or the privilege of using it, my price is five hundred dollars, and in proportion for a larger or smaller one. I will dispose of my privilege for states, counties or towns, on liberal terms, letters addressed to me post paid, Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
James Deneale.
Dumfries, July 28.
WE, Richard and Stephen Winchester, residing in the town of Fredericksburg and commonwealth of Virginia, do certify, we have built an Oven under the immediate direction of James Deneale of Dumfries and commonwealth of Virginia aforesaid, on a plan entirely different from the ovens in common use, and we believe invented by the said Deneale. It requires much less fuel than the common oven and may be used without splitting the wood, of course there is great saving of labor; we have baked every kind of biscuit and can say truly that it bakes well. We consider it as a valuable improvement and well worthy the attention of bakers.
R & S. Winchester.
Fredericksburg, January 23, 1806.
These are to certify to all whom it may concern, that I, Andrew Jamieson, biscuit baker, in the town of Alexandria, and district of Columbia, was in the town of Fredericksburg, in the state of Virginia, some time since the middle of last January, and there did attend great part of one day to see the operation of biscuit baking in the new invented oven in the possession of Messrs. Richard and Stephen Winchester, of Fredericksburg, which oven I have every reason to believe is the sole invention of Mr. James Deneale, of Dumfries, in the state of Virginia, and hereby declare and aver, that I saw said New Invented or Perpetual Oven bake large and small biscuits in as short a time and as regular a manner as any oven I have seen these forty years I have been at the baking business. Given under my hand this sixth day of February (in Alexandria and district of Columbia) in the year one thousand eight hundred and six.
Andrew Jamieson.
N. B. Not having sufficient experiment of said oven above mentioned, I cannot ascertain what may be saved in wood or labor, only that cord wood will do without the labor of chopping and splitting, as is necessary with old fashioned ovens. A. J.
New-York, December 1, 1805.
THIS is to certify that I have been using the patent oven, invented by James Deneale, esq. of Dumfries, Virginia, since April last, to considerable advantage in this city, I have no doubt of its possessing considerable advantages over the old method, such as a saving of fuel and labor, in consequence of which the proprietor is enabled to make the bread much thinner and consequently more proper for long voyages on a hot climate.
Again, as a part of the operation requiring most skill and practice is abridged by this method; more of the work may be done by boys or men little experienced in the business.
Not being acquainted myself with the old method, I will not attempt to state the differences between them, but that it is greatly in favor of Deneale's method must be evident to the most superficial observer.

Iron Works for Sale.
THE subscriber is duly empowered to contract for the sale of a handsome Scite for Iron Works and eight thousand acres of Land adjoining, lying on the river Rappahannock, about nine miles above Fredericksburg. This tract abounds with inexhaustible mines of the richest iron ore and an ample supply of wood for coal. The scite for the works are advantageous in the extreme, commanding the whole source of the Rappahannock by a natural canal, into which the whole force of the river may be turned at a small expence. There has been a furnace and other works formerly erected here, and the ore found on trial abundant and good. When it is considered that this property is within nine miles of tide water, and that the navigation from the scite of the works to tide water may at a small expence be rendered practicable to transport every heavy article to market: when it is considered from the contiguity of these works to the seat of government, no iron establishment can supply cannon and shot on so good terms (competent judges having pronounced the ore on this tract of superior quality for cannon,) a doubt cannot be entertained of the great value of this property. The title is indisputable, and a great bargain may be had. The subscriber will at any time attend those inclined to view the premises, and can shew an accurate survey of the tract on application to him at Dumfries, in Virginia.
