RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

TALAVERA.
The day had dawn'd, the sun was low, When, like a river's winter flow, Swell'd by the mountains melted snow, On sudden came the rushing foe To snatch a laurel'd victory.
And many an eye that hails that sight And brightens at the coming fight, Like eagles in their airy flight, Shall bid the setting sun good night, Amid the shouts of victory.
On as they rush, and rushing raise Vain shouts anticipating praise, They feel the still and steady gaze, That all their fiery blood allays, And awes a noisy enemy.
Lo! gloomy as a polar night, Ere thunder gives electric light, Collected in their sober might, The men of England meet the fight, And stem the dashing enemy.
On! On! Old England bids you on: The foe are fierce, and two to one; Now, now, or never, must be done, A deed of fame—a battle won, To match with Cressy's victory.
Then instant wide, the fire sheet spread, Wide, instant was the havoc dread, The dying fighting 'midst the dead, A bold and bloody spectre made, Of furious, fruitless victory.
Night veils the sulph'rous welkin, torn With cannon's roar and bugle horn; From watch to watch the hum is borne, While warrior's wait the ling'ring morn, All eager for their enemy:
And now dawn streaks the eastern dun, Slow night her sulky course has run; Beep peals the adamantine gun, And Britons welcome up the sun That lights to laurel'd victory.
On they speed as the light'ning's course; On they sweep with the tempest's force; The foe that stood, soon sunk a corse; The foe that fled—the trampling horse Trode down in dreadful revelry.
Ye British Lyons! bravely done! Great Talavera's days' your own; And England on her sea-girt throne, Amongst her brightest days will own Great Talavera's Victory!
FROM THE CONNECTICUT MIRROR.
BARLOW AND GREGOIRE.
In the Monthly Anthology for July, 1809 (a periodical work published at Boston) is an article entitled—"Critical observations on the poem of Mr. Joel Barlow, the Columbiad"—by Mr. Gregoire, formerly Bishop of Blois, Senator, Member of the National Institute, &c." which was first printed at Paris, and bears date March 15th, 1809. This article which is in the form of a letter, has been republished in many of our newspapers, and has been much admired in the country for elegance of style, and justness of criticism. Within a few days past a small pamphlet has appeared, entitled—"Letter to Henry Gregoire, Bishop, &c. in reply to his letter on the Columbiad, by Joel Barlow, L. L. D." &c. In a note prefixed to this pamphlet, Mr. Barlow requests, that it may be published in those public Journals which have inserted the letter of M. Gregoire. As every book is subject to criticism, we take the liberty to submit a few remarks on Mr. Barlow's letter.
One of the engravings in the Columbiad, is the principal subject of M. Gregoire's letter. The engraving is called—"Final destruction of prejudices." Among the "prejudices" which the picture represents as brought together for the purposes of being, surrendered and destroyed, is the Cross. This, as a member of the Roman Catholic Church, M. Gregoire deeply felt, and considered as furnishing presumptive proof at least, that his friend Barlow's faith in christianity was somewhat doubtful. He says—"Are these what you call prejudices? If even the excellent works which have rendered evident the truth of the gospel; if even the principles and the history of eighteen centuries did not give you formally the lie, it would be easy to shew that this picture is an attack against all christian societies, that it is an act of intollérance, of persecution, which offends God and man." It is not at all strange, that a charge of so serious a nature as this, and coming too from a Frenchman, should have alarmed Mr. Barlow. To be thought to be not only an infidel, but too gross an infidel to be tolerated by an inhabitant of revolutionary France, would almost have shaken the nerves of Tom Paine himself.
To prevent the effects which this letter
seems calculated to produce, both upon the character of the poem, and of its author, Mr. Barlow probably was induced to write and publish his answer. It will therefore be of some use to examine how far he has succeeded in accomplishing his object. It may have been a secret to M. Gregoire, but it has not been one in this country, that Mr. Barlow has long borne the reputation of a fixed, and resolute infidel, if not of something worse than an infidel. Mr. Barlow may perhaps make this fact the ground of complaint against his countrymen. But it is not a very common case, that a man obtains very extensively the character of an unbeliever in christianity, without there is some foundation for the charge. Especially would it not be likely to happen respecting a man, who, like Mr. Barlow, had once borne the office of a preacher. From whatever source the idea originated, it is certain that it has been generally believed through the country, for many years, that Mr. Barlow is an infidel, and an enemy to christianity.
One of the first circumstances which strikes the mind, on the perusal of Mr. Barlow's letter, is, a labored attempt at convincing his antagonist by flattery. He styles him at the outset, his "his dear good friend"—"my excellent Gregoire"—and to prove that the French, in private friendship, are as disinterested and unshaken at least as any people that he has seen says, he could cite many examples, but supposes it necessary to mention none but M. Gregoire, and adds—"it would indeed be paying too high a compliment to any nation on earth to cite Gregoire as a sample of its moral and social character, &c. &c. It is a mark of subtlety in debate, to cajole your adversary, before you reason with him. But in this instance, we cannot persuade ourselves, that Mr. Barlow had not a further object in view. It is apparent, that he wished to bind his friend by honied accents, while he led him gently away from the real question between them; for it is equally apparent, that Mr. Barlow has evaded the points in dispute, notwithstanding he declares that he has no such idea.
After feebly attempting to throw the blame of the picture upon somebody else, and faintly expressing his regret that it was put in the book. Mr. Barlow says—"How much our religious opinions depend on the place of our birth! Had you and I been born in the same place, there is no doubt but we should have been of the same religion. Had the place been Constantinople, we must have been mussulmen." This is a pretty fair confession, that such men as Mr. Barlow pick up the first religion they come at, whether good or bad. This shews an accommodating spirit, at least in Mr. Barlow—though perhaps M. Gregoire will not consent to be bound by his friend's confessions.

BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 2.
Latest from France.
Yesterday morning, arrived at this port, the U. S. sloop of war Wasp, lieutenant Lawrence, 32 days from L'Orient, with dispatches from general Armstrong, to our government. Lieutenant Haswell, the bearer of the despatches, proceeded to Washington yesterday morning.
We have not been able to learn, that any material change has taken place in our relations with France; and it is rumored, on the authority of letters, that no change was likely to occur, at least until the return of the emperor Napoleon.
By the Wasp, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a file of Paris papers to the 23d September, inclusive, containing London dates to the 15th of the same month, four days later than before received from London.
No intelligence had reached Paris, on the 21st September, of a peace having been concluded between France and Austria; and among the many rumors afloat, it was said that Russia was about joining Austria against France; and that the French and Austrian armies were again in motion.
A letter from L'Orient, of the 27th Sept. states, that one of Napoleon's aids had written to his brother at L'Orient, that Napoleon was at Vienna, and in a complete state of MADNESS!!!
In one of our latest French papers, we find that a vessel taken up by general Armstrong, would sail from Dieppe about the 10th October, for Philadelphia, with despatches and passengers.
American and colonial produce were very scarce and very high in France.
The Wasp had 19 days passage out and 32 home, having performed her voyage in about 73 days.
Translated from late French papers. COPENHAGEN, September 10. We are assured that peace is on the point of being signed between Denmark and Sweden.
SALESWIG, August 22. We observe with pleasure, at Trondheim and its environs, that the commerce of the city is beginning to revive. There have arrived about fifty American vessels, laden with cargoes estimated at more than 100,000 rix dollars.
VIENNA, September 8. M. de Bubna, aid-de-camp to the emperor of Austria, arrived yesterday at Salzburg. They speak of a new prolongation of the armistice; all that is certain is that the Austrian army is not in a condition to recommence hostilities. On this point all travellers from Hungary and Moravia are agreed.
The positions of the French army have undergone little change. The army of Italy occupies Carinthia, Carniola, Styria, and part of Hungary; it has its head-quarters at Raab. The troops of marshal MacDonald at Gratz; which separate Hungary from Moravia; the marshal duke of Decret occupies Upper Austria, Salzburg, and the frontiers of the Tyrol; marshal Massena occupies the western part of Moravia and marshal Davoust the eastern. The Bavarian division is at Liniz.
WARSAW, August 23. It is contemplated to maintain a force of 40,000 men from the Polish army, joined to the troops of Galicia, without reckoning the numerous recruits which are found in the depots, and who are exercised daily.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 12. All the islands of Zealand, with the exception of Walcheren, are occupied by the troops of his majesty. Marshal Verhuell, with the squadron under his command, has approached before Zireksee, to protect the passage of the infantry to the islands of Schouwen. A cutter belonging to the enemy has been taken and carried into Rotterdam.
PARIS, Sept. 16. According to the last letters from Madrid, the following is the actual position of the French army which cover that capital. The first corps (Marshal Victor) is at Toledo; the second Marshal Soult's at Puente la Reina; the fourth corps, gen. Sebastiani at Aranjuez, and the 6th corps Marshal Ney's at Salamanca.
September 19. On the 10th of October a flag of truce, expedited by his excellency the minister of the U. S. near the court of France, will sail from Dieppe for Philadelphia, on which other American post which the wind may permit her to enter; and will take on board persons wishing to embark for the U. S.
LONDON, Sept. 15. The fleet from China is arrived. It was at St. Helena on the 17th of July; at which time three of the fleet, viz the Glory, Experiment and Lord Nelson, had not been heard of. An American vessel reported that they have been taken by French privateers and carried into the isle of France.
An officer of the general staff of the army in Spain writes under date of August 22, from Truxillo as follows:—"The war in Spain is nearly at an end. The Spaniards are the complete slaves of superstition and fanaticism. It is the general opinion that we shall be in England before the expiration of two months."
POSTSCRIPT.
Still later from England.
The ship Commodore Rogers, captain Gage, arrived at this port last evening in the unprecedented passage of 22 days from Liverpool. The editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received by her a regular file of London papers to Oct. 6th and Lloyds List to the same date.
One of the most important articles of intelligence we have received by this arrival, is the sudden and expected change in the British ministry, which took place about the 22d of September. It was preceded by a duel on the 21st, between lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning.
By virtue of the new arrangement, lord Wellesley is to be the new secretary of war; the earl of Harrowby takes the foreign department; Mr. Percival is to be first lord of the treasury, and chancellor of the exchequer. Lord Grenville and lord Gray were invited to co-operate with the new administration; but conceiving that their services could not benefit their country in support of a ministry, they could not but decline.

declined all participation in the guilty mea- sures of the government; at the same time expressing their devotedness to the cause of the nation whenever their talents or influ- ence could be employed with advantage.
Bonaparte was still at Schoenbrunn. Mr. W. Shaler is the bearer of despatches from Mr. Pinckney, the minister in London. An extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated Oct. 6th, states, "Our ministerial arrangements appear nearly settled for the present, though, apparently, less favora- ble to a settlement of the differences between your government and ours, than if the change had been complete. The refusal of Lords Grey and Grenville, to accept the propositions made to them produced a tem- porary briskness in cottons, and an advance as freely given by speculators; that arti- cle, as well as others, is now depressed.— Potatoes 60 to 61, Pearl 66 to 67; turpen- tine 35 to 38; W. O. bbl. staves 19 to 21; wheat 17 to 17 6d; flour 60s; rice 24s; tobacco from 7 to 14d; cotton Upland 17 to 20d; New Orleans 21d; Sea Island 23d to 26d."
The following articles are from our latest papers by the Commodore Rogers:
LONDON, Oct. 4. We have just received Paris papers to the 26th ult. but they contain nothing of impor- tance.
We received this morning, Dutch papers to the 1st inst. containing news from Vien- na to the 20th last, Bonaparte was at that date at Schoenbrunn, and the emperor of Austria at Buda, for which places the Aus- trian count Buhna had set out on the 15th from Schoenbrunn, with despatches for his master. At his departure he was present- ed by Bonaparte with a precious stone of great value; from which circumstance it was inferred that the negotiations are draw- ing to a close. There are, however, many circumstances unfavorable to this supposi- tion. Letters from Strasburg, of the 22d Sept. state, that the armistice, which ex- pired on the 20th, has been prolonged for a month, with the additional stipulation that hostilities are not to recommence until after six weeks notice of its expiration. French corps and military stores had passed thro' that city on their way to Austria and the troops, both French and Austrian, were in constant motion. Bonaparte was also busily employed in establishing a line of te- legraphs from Strasburg to Vienna, passing through Ulm and Munich; by which means there would be a complete line of te- legraphs between the Austrian and French capitols. As the immediate evacuation of Vienna would probably be one of the condi- tions of peace, it would seem, from this circumstance, that such an event is not con- sidered as near at hand. The accounts from Paris, in the Dutch papers, are to the 27th last, and from Bayonne to the 9th.— Several detachments of troops had lately passed thro' the latter place, on their way to Spain.
Mr. Percival, yesterday, kissed hands on his elevation to the post of first lord of the treasury, vice the duke of Portland, by which movement the right hon. gentleman, becomes Premier. This was the only ap- pointment announced yesterday at the Le- vee. Lord Harrowby has not yet received the seals of the foreign department, vacat- ed by the right hon. George Canning, and it is even said, that they have been refused by earl Bathurst. Indeed a man of any pretensions, however slender, if he pos- sesses a particle of pride, must pause before he consents to become a locum tenens for Wellesley. The principal inducement to a calculating mind is the chance that mar- quis Wellesley, seeing the sort of head that is put to the ministry, may decline also, in which event, the party put in as a warning- pan for his lordship, would probably re- main in permanent possession of "The Bed of Roses." Mr. R. D. Saunders, of whose abilities we know nothing, but the pathetic and prepared speech which he made for his father, lord Melville, in the house of Commons, previous to his lordship's trial in Westminster hall, has set out for Ire- land, to pack up his papers, before he makes his debut here as secretary for the war and colonial department, vice lord Castlereagh. He is expected back on Wednesday next, on which day the Premier will have probably made considerable progress in completing his Ad.

October 6. We know of no farther ministerial ar- rangements having been settled, we trust and believe, however, that no time will be lost. The interest of the country impera- tively requires it. His majesty will not come to town again before next Wednes- day, but it is probable that Mr. Percival will wait upon his majesty before that time at Windsor.—Meanwhile the Grenvilles as-
sure us that "nothing can exceed the court- ship and canvassing that are now going for- ward; and that applications have been made to men of all parties and of all opinions to join the ministers." And supposing this statement to be correct, how does it reflect upon the ministers? They were anxious to form an extended administration. They made overtures to lord Grenville—Lord Grenville will not come in with men who have thought it right not to press the king's conscience upon a subject on which his ma- jesty's principles are known to be unaltera- ble. They are forced, therefore, to look to the other men, and not deeming the in- terest of party to be paramount to the in- terests of the country, they are willing to sacrifice the former, in order that they may consult the interests of the latter. They wish to prevail upon men of talents and of patriotism to join the administration, with- out too nicely considering what party they may belong to.
It is justly said, no doubt, that the plan of the new administration is not extended or combined. We lament that it should be otherwise; but whose fault is it? We had hoped, that in a cordial union of the ad- verse parties there would have been a real healing of the divisions of the empire; and, if we hope and believe that the plan of ad- ministration, though not extended and com- bined, will still go down, as the opposition elegantly express it, our hopes, thoughts, and belief, are derived, not from any un- worthy view we have of the present state of the representation of the country, but from our firm persuasion, that, after a reign of half a century, in the most trying and ha- zardous time this nation ever saw, our ve- nerable sovereign will not be abandoned by his people, and will not be delivered over to a party which would grasp at undivided power and which has once before endeavor- ed to shackle and oppress him.

Interesting to dealers in Flaxseed. By recent advices from Great-Britain, it appears, that the farmers in Ireland and Scotland, in order to obviate the difficulty of procuring Flaxseed from the U. States, have determined to preserve a considerable quantity of the seed of their own raising, both for sowing and crushing.
The United States have, at this time, in commission, the following vessels of war:
  FRIGATES.    Constitution Com. Rodgers,  President Capt. Bainbridge,  United States Capt. Decatur,  Essex Capt. Smith.  SHIPS.  John Adams Capt. Evans,  Wasp Lt. Laurence.  BRIGS.  Siren Capt. Gordon,  Argus Lt. Jones,  Hornet Lt. Hunt,  Vixen Lt. Ludlow,  Nauutilus Lt. Sinclair.  SCHOONER.  Enterprise Lt. Tripp.  CUTTER.  Ferret Lt. Gadsden.    About 20 gun boats and bombs at New Orleans.
We understand that all the vessels of war (excepting the Wasp and the Enterprise, which are on Foreign service) are under sailing orders to stretch along our coast and examine its various ports and harbors.— Thus an opportunity is afforded of acquiring a branch of professional knowledge which in time of war may be of incalculable bene- fit—while at the same time the commanders will be training their young officers, disciplin- ing their crews, and preparing them for the most active service.
On the 26th ult. the Constitution, Com. Rodgers, arrived at Hampton in 45 hours from Sandy Hook.
Same day the President, captain Bain- bridge, and Vixen, Lt. Ludlow, sailed from New York eastward to examine the differ- ent ports and harbors along the coast of Nan- tucket and Rhode-Island.
Same day, the ship John Adams, captain Evans, arrived at Hampton in 22 hours from Baltimore. This vessel was, before she was repaired, considered as a bad sailer. She is now a very fast, as are all our other vessels above stated.

RIGHT. JUSTICE. Right is the object of justice : 'tis that which is due to each one. Justice is the conformity of actions with right : 'tis to ren- der and preserve to each one that which is
due to him. The first is dictated by na- ture, or established by authority, either di- vine or human; it may sometimes change agreeable to circumstances. The second is the rule which it is necessary always to fol- low; it never varies.
It is not going against the laws of justice , to defend one's rights by the same means that have been made use of to attack them.

TO THE PUBLIC,
Who are affected with Coughs, Colds, Astmas, and Consumptions.
T HERE is perhaps no medical observa- tion better established, none more ge- nerally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and none of more importance to the practitioner than the fact that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglect- ed COLDS. In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather are fre- quently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow.— Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, asthmas and consump- tions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappoint- ment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own pre-dis- position to pulmonary complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider whether a compound, consisting of mild vegetable sub- stances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the pub- lic such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETER- GENT, well adapted to various constitutions and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect the use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will abide by this motto:
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this me- dicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken seasonably, and ac- cording to the directions, it will either pre- vent or cure, and if unseasonably, it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life; and having no desire to profit by the confi- dence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture. Should the contra- ry appear in any instance, as in some it pos- sibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same.
GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is se- cured to the subscriber by letters patent from the President of the United States, and pre- pared at his Dispensary in Northampton county of Hampshire and state of Massachu- setts.
To the Public.
The great benefit which I have experienc- ed from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief to others, induces me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution.
For five years preceding the last of Dec. 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the asthma, a disor- der which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My bu- siness made it necessary for me to leave home and be absent the greater part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In September last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and con- fined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Ro- gers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and complete- ly cured of every symptom of the asthma— In short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since. As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and observing its effects on others, that Dr. Ro- gers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and asthmas, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonary complaints that the world has ever witnessed.
Jacob W. Brewster.
Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician, who is a man well approved of in his profession, from a bruise which I received on my left side about a fortnight before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Pul-
monic Detergent—I was very weak and low, and took but half the quantity prescribed by his directions. In three days I was much re- lieved, and in eight days quite cured of the cough.

Northampton, February, 1809.
Northampton, (Mass.) Feb. 1809. I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequently spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administer- ing his Vegetable Deturgent. I have conti- nued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (un- der God) to this valuable medicine.
James Heaton.
To the Public.
In consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808, I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough, which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any allevi- ation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Deturgent, which gave me immediate re- lief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough.
Charles Chapman.
Northampton, March, 1809.
I, ELIJAH NORTON, jun. of West- ampton, in Massachusetts do certify, that in the last year I was attended with a great debility, weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath, and a violent cough attended with a fever for a number of months; about the 15th of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Detur- gent. I kept in the use of it about three months. Immediately after taking this me- dicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, and con- sumptive complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.

VALUABLE LAND FOR SALE,
Distant 23 miles from Georgetown and A- lexandria, 19 miles from Occoquan Mills, and twenty from Dumfries, and within two miles and a half of the Little River Turnpike Road. It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excel- lent, and, to a grazier especially, would be source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy. This land is decidedly benefited by the plaster of Pa- ris. On it is a very good site for a mill, the stream being one of the most constant in that part of the country. There are about 800 ac- res in wood, heavily timbered. The improve- ments are, a dwelling house newly fitted up, consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets, three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cel- lar, a kitchen, corn house, meat house and stables. Likewise the overseer's house, one in each county, with other necessary houses or negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neigh- borhood.
