PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon. Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATED on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.

ELLEN'S GRAVE.
Thou art fallen, young tree, with all thy beauty round thee. Thou art fallen on thy plains, and the field is barren. The winds come from the desert, and there is no sound in thy leaves. Ossian.
Rest in peace, thou beam of light. Ossian.
SOFT, soft be your step as you tread by yon willow, For beauty and sorrow repose near its shade; Let no burst of pleasure be heard near their pillow, Nor smile mock the hillock, 'neath which they are laid.
Tho' lowly the hillock, tho' simple the in- scription, Which tells to the traveller "Here Ellen found rest!" Of her virtues tho' no versal lays give de- scription, Let mirth's flaunting spirit the dell ne'er molest.
For search o'er the mountain, the vale, or the meadow, No flow'ret so lovely as Ellen was blows: And, like the sweet vi'let beneath yon shrub's shadow, To bloom in a modest retirement she chose.
The gay smile of joy fresh attractions might borrow From mirth's lovely dimple on Ellen's fair cheek; But no dewy tear dimm'd the sad eye of sor- row, Which Ellen's soft pity to dry would not seek.
Tho' in her each virtue and beauty were blended, They, alas! form'd the mark for the arrow of grief, She loy'd—was betray'd—and life's happiness ended, In death's chill embrace from her woes sought relief.
Then soft be your steps, as you tread by yon willow, And check not the tear to her mem'ry that flows; And Ellen's mild spirit shall sit round your pillow, Acknowledge that tear, and make sweet your repose.
Observations on the influence of Soil and Cli- mate upon WOOL; from which is deduc- ed a certain and easy method of improv- ing the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece un- changed in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
[CONTINUED.]
It may be of use briefly to state some of the inferences to be drawn from what I have advanced, to recommend the practice of ap- plying an ointment to sheep; and also to ar- range in a short compass, some of the posi- tions I maintain, distinct from the recital of the facts by which they are supported.
1st, That hair differs from wool, by the greater degree of hardness and elasticity of its fibres.
2d, That some wools resemble hair in this quality more than other wools which are much coarser.
3d, That the hard quality found in some wool, prevents it from making cloth of the same value as the softer wools, if the for- mer are considerably finer than the latter.
4th, That the application of unctuous matter sufficiently soft and tenacious to co- ver and remain upon the fleece, will defend it from the action of the soil, and is found to produce the soft quality of wool, so de- sirable to the manufacturer.
Hence the greased fine wools of Nor-
thumberland and Yorkshire, possess a su- perior degree of softness to any ungreased wools in the kingdom.
Hence sheep that have received the bene- fit of this practice, and are driven into other counties not remarkable for soft wools, still preserve the distinguished softness of their fleece. Hence we learn the reason why ointments, when casually employed to cure some disease of the animal, have also gene- rally been found beneficial to the wool.
If these facts and inferences be admitted, we may also infer, that an improved method of greasing fine-woolled sheep should be a- dopted in every part of the kingdom, and that it would greatly improve the quality of the wool, and annually save many thousand sheep from perishing by the severity of the climate.
The only objection against the general in- troduction of the practice, will be found in the prejudice or ignorance of wool-dealers, unaccustomed to purchase greased wools, and unacquainted with their real value; for whatever may be their excellence, if the wool-stapler be afraid to purchase them, the growers will not venture to introduce the practice. The greasing I recommend is in- deed very different from the smearing with tar, practised in the North of England; and were the sheep well washed, it would scarce- ly be perceived. Should some portion of the ointment remain in the fleece, it will not be difficult to ascertain the abatement of price which should be allowed for it. I have no doubt, however, that the superior excel- lence of the wool will more than compen- sate for the extra weight of the ointment. An easy method of ascertaining the real quantity of ointment contained in each fleece, is offered, by taking an equal weight of the greased and ungreased wool, after they are washed and shorn, and scouring them with soap and warm water, and then weighing the neat wool in each lot. The fine wools of Northumberland, in the greasing of which, one gallon of tar has been combined with 20 lb. of butter, sell, when the fleece is sorted, for an equal price, and have a readier sale than the ungreased wools, which would not waste so much in scouring by 25 or 30 lb. per pack of 240 lb. If a pack of Northumberland greased wools, will make less cloth than the other, its value will be greater, and thus compensate the man- ufacturer, I am supposing that the two sorts are equally fine. To the noble and distinguished characters, who have contri- buted so much towards the amelioration of the wools of Britain, I look for the intro- duction of the practice in the midland and southern counties. Let them try the expe- riment on the South Down, or other flocks; let a part of the wool be sorted, and sent with some ungreased wool from the same flock, equally fine, to an unprejudiced man- ufacturer; let each be manufactured into a piece of cloth, and I am confident, if the trial be fairly made, the result will confirm all I have stated in the former part of this treatise.
Let the sheep intended to be greased have a thin ointment of olive oil, butter, or lard, made into a soft pomatum, and applied to the skin immediately after shearing, parti- cularly on the back and sides of the sheep. The second application in November, will require more care, and an unguent of great- er tenacity. I repeat it again, that to make the experiment succeed, the ointment must be laid close to the skin, by opening & divid- ing the staples with one hand, and applying the mixture with the finger of the other hand. Limestone or chalk soils will make a larger quantity of the ointment, or a more frequent application of it necessary, to pre- serve the wool soft. In situations much exposed to rain, a small portion of tar might be added, with advantage to the mixture, on account of its tenacity; but if bees-wax be also employed, a much less quantity of this dingy ingredient will be necessary than what is used in Northumberland, perhaps not more than one quart to sixteen pounds of butter. With a judicious attention to these precautions, the prejudices against the use of an ointment will be removed, and an essential benefit procured to the native flocks of our island. The value of the wool will be greatly increased, and both the finer and coarser cloths of Britain will be made to equal, or exceed in softness, those of any other country. The number of sheep that may be annually saved by this practice, makes its introduction of importance, as an object of national economy. Nothing is wanting to extend generally the application of an ointment to sheep, but a clear idea of the plain and simple principle whence its advantages arise, and a knowledge of the facts which prove its beneficial effects.*
* It is probable that yellow ochre will mix well with the oil or butter; it is a greasy clay, its color is that of the wool itself; it has for a very long time been used in Spain in its na- tural state, with a view perhaps to produce this effect.—S.
That it will sooner or later be every where applied to the short-wooled sheep of Bri- tain, I am fully persuaded; the ointments, and the modes of application may be chang- ed; but the practice will remain so long as the soil and climate of our isle remain near- ly what they are at the present time.

THE EXPEDITION.
From the secrecy which has hitherto been preserved there is not the smallest reason to believe that the numerous points of destina- tion which have been ascribed to the expe- dition are announced on any better authori- ty than that of mere conjecture. The quan- tity of artillery, both field and battering, is so numerous, as to render it extremely pro- bable that a sudden attack is meditated on some great naval arsenal, or place of strength of some of our enemies. It is already dis- covered that it will be impossible to com- plete the various arrangements so nearly as the 8th instant, on which day it was origi- nally proposed that the expedition should sail, and to collect the whole at one point is found to be equally impracticable, within any reasonable time; the expedition must therefore sail from different ports. Ports- mouth the grand point of assemblage; at Harwich and the Downs also troops are col- lecting. Notwithstanding the expedient of employing ships of war to convey the troops which now appears to be a measure of necessity, the deficiency is such, that even foreign vessels have been taken up by go- vernment as transports.
The following ships of war have already been appointed to the present service, to which it is expected that there will be a considerable addition.
Ships of the Line.
Eagle, Imperieuse, Revenge, Hero, Vali- ant, Venerable, Superb, Ganges, Centaur, Aboukir, Resolution, Marlborough, Royal Oak, Alfred, Caesar, Monarch, Belleisle, Bellona, Orion, Achilles, Repulse, Illustrious.
Frigates.
Imperieuse, Rota, L'Aigle, Pearl, Pallas, Dryad.
Bombs.
Vesuvius, Devastation.
Artillery.
Sixty 18 pounders, battering; 40 twenty four do. 110 pieces of field artillery; 10 eighty six pound carronades; 40 mortars; many howitzers; an immense number of congreve rockets; shrapnell shells; and an ample supply of ammunition for a siege.
Foot artillery, 2300 Horse do. 8 troops, 960
Sir Richard Strachan, sir Samuel Hood, rear admiral Otway, and sir Home Popham, it is said, are already named to naval com- mands. With respect to the command of the land forces, there is no reason at present to doubt, that the earl of Chatham will be intrusted with the direction of this formida- ble force.
Captain Plampin, of the Courageux, has several men of war placed under his com- mand. Guns and stores for between 60 and 70 armed launches are put on board the ships of war.
All such American and other neutral ves- sels as may be engaged by the transport board to serve, are to be commanded by British officers, and navigated by British merchants have a decided interest in such ships.
Orders are said to have been issued for a rigorous and general embargo in every port in the United Kingdom.
In the court of kings bench, on the 3d ultimo, an action was brought by a Mr. Wright, an upholsterer, against colonel Wardle, for the recovery of 19147, for arti- cles furnished Mrs. Mary-Ann Clarke, upon his personal promise of payment—in re- turn for which Mrs. C. was to give him every information in her power relative to her connection with his royal highness the duke of York. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.
It appears that after colonel W. had ac- complished his object against the duke of York, he denied the promise he had made to Wright, and the action was the consequence. On the day succeeding the trial, Mr. War- dle, in address, "To the people of the U- nited Kingdom," declared, that the verdict was obtained by "perjury alone," and while he pledged himself to prove it by a course of law, he begged the public would suspend their judgment.
Monday morning, at four o'clock, the flank companies, to the number of 480, of the 2d and 3d regiments of foot guards, who were ordered for foreign service, mus-
tered in their barracks and marched thence at five o'clock, for Chatham, under the command of Col. King. As they passed one voice, gave three cheers. The band of the 3d regiment played them out of the environs of London.
Ninety sail of transports came into Downs on Monday, and part sailed im- mediately for Harwich. The ordnance have almost all been loaded, and are com- ping down the river. The troops from mouth are arrived at Portsmouth. A of the line of battle ships have taken their lower deck guns.
The guards from Chatham embarked board the Princess of Orange, 74, the L- den, 68, and some other line of battle-ships.
The 51st regiment embarked at Por- mouth on board the St. Joseph, St. T. D. worth's flag ship, arrived at Portsmouth Monday.
The horses belonging to the 12th re- ment of light dragoons, ordered on foreign service, are in the finest order possible, the men are in high spirits.
At Harwich the troops are all in read- ness, and a division of transports have set ed for that place from Deal, to take on board the 11th, 59th, and the 1st battal- of the 79th regiment. All the ordnance transports will have dropped down the river by next Thursday.
NOVA SCOTIA.
HALIFAX, August 4. LA FURIEUSE.
The following particulars of the capture the French frigate La Furieuse, by majesty's sloop of war the Bonne Cito- enne, Captain Mouney, were handed from a gentleman who was passenger board the latter ship.
The Bonne Citoyenne sailed from St. head June 18, with the Quebec trade; and on the 2d of July, lat. 44, long. 27, had the misfortune to separate from the convoy, in a thick fog, while pursuing a strange sail. This unpleasant circumstance determined captain Mouney to cruise between lat. 4 and 45, inclining to the westward, in the hope of falling in with the trade again. At 2 P. M. on the 5th of July, lat. 43, 36, a large French frigate was seen at a considerable distance, taking possession of an English merchantman. Captain M. ordered an im- mediate chase to be given, under every sail that could be set; and had the good for- tune though the wind continued light, to gain on her in a pursuit of 140 miles, so as to enable him to lay the Bonne Citoyenne within a cable's length of the enemy, at 3 minutes past nine o'clock next morning, when he commenced the engagement in the most spirited and gallant manner which continued with unabated fury, for the space of six hours and fifty one minutes; during which, the French officers since say, the frigate discharged 71 broadsides, and her majesty's sloop, still more profuse powder (from the larboard and starboard alterna- ly, as circumstances and the extreme heat of the ordnance would permit) 131 broad- sides. At length, our ammunition being nearly expended, captain M. determined to run along side of the frigate, give her three warm discharges, and boarded her in the smoke, with every man in his ship. Here the enemy's prudence got the better of his obstinacy; and at 50 minutes past 4 o'clock P. M. he hauled down his colors.
The ship proved to be La Furieuse fri- gate, commanded by captain La Morra- ker Daniel, pierced for 44 guns (can mount 54) armed en flute, carrying only 20 forty two pounders, including 8 thrown below consequent to the action, 2 long 24 pound- ers, and 5 of smaller caliber; manned with 195 men (including a colonel and detach- ment of the line) and 16 passengers. Thus ended a conflict, perhaps never surpassed in the proudly triumphant page of British naval glory. She is a frigate of the largest class, seven years old, sails remarkably fast, and is well calculated for his majesty's ser- vice. She was one of the squadron from L'Orient, lately blocked up in the Saints by admiral Cochrane, and was on her passage from Guadalupe for France, with a valu- ble cargo of sugar, coffee and cocoa. When first taken possession of, she had eight feet water in her hold, with 15 shot holes under water, and her upper works wonderfully torn; not a single yard aloft, and only her three lower masts standing, two of which (her mizen and main) went overboard hours after she struck, and left the foremast without rigging trembling with its own weight; nor was it until the 10th of July, that any sail could be set upon it.
With our small boat, the only one left that would float on the water, one half our number was immediately exchanged for one half of theirs; and thus were both ships ex- posed in the middle of the Atlantic, with the number of prisoners on each nearly double that of her crew.

The hull of the Bonne Citoyenne received considerable damage; her masts & yards were injured, her sails and rigging cut to pieces, (113 cannon shot through the main hull—19 of which were in one cloth) and her anchor at the bows broken short like a pipe shank.
The frigate had 17 men killed and thirty wounded during the action—The sloop had one man killed and four wounded. The conduct of Mr. Black, who was a messenger on board the Bonne Citoyenne, during the action, is highly spoken of by Captain Alouesty, his officers and crew.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability at Alicante, received at Norwich, in Connecticut, dated July 1.
"This country you may depend will not be conquered. The French have already nearly 180,000 men in Spain, and their situation is or can scarcely be called better than it was the first day. It is true some of their armies are more advanced, but their situation is every moment becoming more critical, and they must fall victims to the combined forces. The war with Austria completely prevents their being able to enforce their armies here, and the hot season now coming on, and the unavoidable fatigue in this country must worry them down, even without fighting."
"There has been a kind of epidemic in the Spanish and French armies in Spain. It is considered to be something like the jail disorder, but as this originates from want of wholesome living and cleanliness, it has not extended to the peasantry."
"Peace, Commerce, and honest Friendship with every nation, is the wish of every American. But the world is in a new, troubled, and unsettled state. The terrible Napoleon stretches his sceptre over the earth. George the 3d. his trident over the seas. Each of these mighty powers is desirous that America should be her ally, and each that she should be in hostility to the other. We must either resort to the terrapin policy, or be at war with one or the other; for at peace, and trade, we cannot let us then be truly American. Let us put away all sympathy and all antipathy, and view the justice of our cause, and the disposition of our adversaries. In temper of conciliation, let us ground our arms for aggressions upon the broad basis of eternal and immutable right. The nation that accedes to them shall be our friend, and the nation that rejects them shall be our enemy until the God of battles awards to our valor, what power refused to our chimerical claims. Let us not let loose the real and substantial justice of the cause with either of the belligerents, in precipitance, from prejudice, or from (Boston Reperatory.)"
The federalists have uniformly gained a triumph over their political opponents from the constant success of their policy from the invariable retention of power, not in the uniform conservation of the country from disgrace; but in the unfulfillment of their predictions. They framed and procured the adoption of the federal constitution. This was opposed by the virulence of anti-federal fury. The public prosperity which ensued from the option best evinces whether the democratic or federalists upon this momentous question had the most political sagacity.
The French revolution arose, and the democrats hailed it as the dawning of the millennium; while the federalists viewed it as an open and yawning hell which as it ingulphed the social, the moral and political worlds, would disgorge its pollution till every nation on the globe would be blasted by its influences; and till its monstrous mass should be consolidated into a despotism, which would sit like an incubus upon the heart of Europe, and wield an iron sceptre from the equator to the arctic circle; from the orient to the occident sun. Whose wisdom predominates! The federalists were the authors of the proclamation of neutrality in ninety four; the democrats violently opposed it. It is now agreed on all hands that this measure was the salvation of the country. The funding system revived public credit, preserved public faith; accumulated capital; gave protection to industry; encouragement to enterprise; and wings to commerce. This was exclusively a federal measure and was carried by a small majority in the teeth of democracy. "Give honor to whom honor is due," and federalism has it all. The democratic opposition, one and all, swore tooth and nail, that the British treaty bartered the rights of the ocean. Facts are the best comments. That treaty found us the seventh commercial nation in the world, and left us, not only the second but a formidable rival to the first. We have experienced little prosperity since its expiration, and thick darkness surrounds our future prospects. Who judged rightly upon this subject? Surely not the democrats. These federalism are thy triumphs! Many more might be enumerated. (Ibid.)

The loss of the Austrian army is stated at 37 superior officers, and 4199 inferior officers and soldiers killed; and 663 officers, and 13,651 soldiers wounded; among these 12 generals are wounded, and the names of princes Colloredo and Rohan are mentioned. From the disadvantages under which Bonaparte fought this battle, according to his own account in the tenth bulletin, his loss must have been at least double to that of his enemy, and of course about 36,000 killed and wounded.—Another such battle and Napoleon is lost, as all mankind will be convinced that he is not invincible, and all the world will at once be up in arms against him. (Freeman's Journal.)

Six Cents Reward.
Ran away, from the subscriber, on Saturday evening last, 19th instant, Samuel Isaacs, an apprentice to the taylor business. He had three years from the 10th of this month to serve—is about 5 feet 6 inches high, light hair, has a pert, impertinent look, and is very forward & conceited, & walks very straight he had the small pox last April, which marked him very much, and lost the sight of his left eye, but not perceptibly by looking at him. He had on a white fur hat, nankin roundabout, osanbriz trousers, and a white Marseilles vest—and took with him a blue coatee and gingham pantaloons, and a coarse dark mixed frock coat, and what else I do not know, for he was apt to take things that was not his own. Took with him also, a Deerskin brown pair of cassimere pantaloons, and stole a white Marseilles vest with a satin stripe. If he is taken up and put in any jail in Virginia so that I get him again, I will pay the above reward, but no expence. I forewarn any person or persons not to employ or harbor the aforesaid Samuel Isaacs, as I am determined to punish all such as far as the law allows.

JUST RECEIVED, For sale only by JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King-street, The following highly valuable Medicines, Price 3 dollars per bottle.
Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated throughout Great-Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficial remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lacep remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after ub-ling a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
