The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court-house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on, on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence. (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

MR. SNOWDEN; The root of the Dandelion is used in France as a substitute for Coffee.
Various substitutes for this article were used in America during the war.—Wheat, rye, corn, chesnuts, potatoes, &c.
"The seeds of foreign grapes have lately been discovered to be an excellent substitute for Coffee. When pressed they first produce a quantity of oil, and afterwards when boiled furnish a liquid much resembling Coffee. The practice is rapidly becoming general in Germany."
Foreign Journal.
"From some late reports of the Academy of Sciences at Petersburg, we learn that Acorns are the best substitute for Coffee hitherto known. To communicate to them the oily properties of Coffee, the following process is recommended. When the acorns have been roasted brown, add butter in small pieces to them, while hot in the ladle, and stir them with care, or cover the ladle and shake it that the whole may be well mixed."—Reese's Encyclopaedia.

The following is a translation of the Decree of the high court of prizes at Paris in the case of the brig Vengeance of Salem.
NAPOLEON, by the grace of God, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, &c.
Our imperial court of prizes has delivered the following decision.
We have seen the process verbal signed at sea on the 7th January 1808, on board the French privateer Precursor: captain John Heiriart, on which is founded the claim for the capture of the American brig Vengeance, Captain Ward Chipman, from Norfolk bound to Bilboa, with a cargo of tobacco, in which it is stated that the said brig had been boarded by an English ship of war on the 30th December last, who ordered her in writing not to enter a French port, or a port of any of the allies in France.
We have seen the report, of the 28th of the same month, before the council of the port of Passage, where said brig Vengeance had been carried in, by John Daguerre, prize master, and which is confirmed by two out of thirteen men who were put on board the said brig.
We have seen the declaration made by Ward Chipman, on the 20th of February following, stating that he left Norfolk on the 3d of December last, bound for Bilboa, and consigned to Gardoqui and Sons, with a cargo consisting of 158 hogsheads of tobacco, belonging to William Gray, of Salem, in the United States of America, and 11 hogsheads belonging to Ward Chipman, master of the said brig—that on the 13th of the said month of December, about three leagues from Cape Ortugal, he was spoke by the English frigate Iris, Captain Tower, who ordered Captain Chipman on board with his papers, and ordered him not to enter any French port, or a port of any of their allies; but to make sail for the continent of South America; or the first English port, endorsing the same orders on the back of his register, and invoice.
The above declaration has been confirmed by three of the crew of the said brig Vengeance.
We have seen the papers belonging to the vessel, consisting of
 1. The Register or proof of American property, delivered by the custom-house in Salem on the 23d of February, 1804.  2. A passport in four languages, signed by the President of the United States, on the 27th November, 1807.  3. A Turkish pass for the Mediterranean, dated March 7, 1805.  4. The shipping paper of the crew, &c.  5. Roll of Equipage signed in Norfolk, the 27th November, 1807.  6. Health Certificate dated the same day.  7. Bills of Lading, P. Dana, freighter, Wm. Gray, and Ward Chipman, owners, according to the proportion mentioned above; Bilboa the port of destination, and consigned to Gardoqui and Sons, consignees.  8. Certificate of Origin made by the freighter before a notary public, in Norfolk, on the 25th of November, 1807.  9. Invoice annexed to the above certificate.  10. Certificates of the Spanish Consul at Norfolk, showing the cargo to be American property.  11. The clearance from the custom-house in Norfolk, the 28th November, 1807. 
We have seen the petition presented to the Court on the 14th of May last, in behalf of the owners, captain and crew, of the privateer Precursor, praying that, in consequence of the brig Vengeance submitting to be boarded by an English ship, and having thereby become denationalized; according to the Imperial decree of the 17th December, being a just retaliation of the Orders from the Court of St. James, passed on the 11th Nov. 1807, the court may condemn the said vessel and cargo, as lawful prize to the captors.
We have seen the opinion of the Imperial Procureur General deposited this day in writing, and heard the report of Mr. Champre, a member of our court, who reports that the said brig having a cargo of tobacco and bound to Bilboa, became by submitting to be boarded
by an English frigate, liable to the Imperial Decree of the 17th of the same month.
The court therefore decree, that the capture made by the French privateer Precursor, of the brig Vengeance, under American colors, is good and lawful prize, and in consequence of which they do condemn the Vengeance, together with her anchors and apparel, as also her cargoes to the owners and crew of the said privateer, all of which to be sold in the form and manner prescribed by law, and the net proceeds to be given to the owners and crew of said privateer, after deducting the expenses of maintaining the captured crew in case provision has not been otherwise made for them; as also the contribution to invalids of the marine hospital regulated by an act of the second Prairial, year 11.
[Here follows the order of the court in regard to the disposal of the prize and disbursements to the owners of the privateer.]
Made the 15th June, 1808,
PRESENT,
COUNT BERNIER,
Counsellor of State.
Messieurs Nion, Lacoste, Laloy, Le Camus de Neville, Parseval, Grand Maison, Champre, Henry, Durofnel, Schiaffino.
All members of the court of prizes, holding session in Paris.
[Here follows the orders to the civil authority to put the above decree in execution.]
Signed by the secretary general, Calmet, in behalf of the above to be a true copy of the original condemnation by the court.
From the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT. —In the National Intelligencer I find a long article on the subject of the next president. In this article Mr. Smith holds up the idea that the federalists have no chance for a president. But on a close examination of the piece, it is easy to be perceived that he would be very willing to change chances with them. We are not very fond of ideal calculation, on the probability of votes, as we know such calculations can be of no use. On the electors they will have no effect, and we are happy in the idea that caucus nominations will have as little effect as newspaper calculations.—But to show that Mr. Smith in his calculation has "missed a figure," we will only just mention that he has set down votes as certain, which he is certain his friend Madison will not have. He has likewise calculated on votes as certain, which he knows are very uncertain. He has set down seven for Madison in Maryland; he knows he will not have all there. He has given him eleven in North Carolina, he cannot have so many there. With respect to the uncertain ones, we can inform him that Pennsylvania and New Jersey are very uncertain, as is South Carolina and Georgia. Ohio may likewise give him the slip as did New Hampshire. At all events he can calculate on the following only, as certain, even if, as he says, Mr. Madison is the only republican candidate.
   North Carolina, 7   Virginia, 24   Tenessee, 5   Kentucky, 8   Maryland, 4  
The federalists are sure of the following:
   New-Hampshire, 7   Massachusetts, 19   Connecticut, 9   Rhode-Island, 4   Delaware, 3   Maryland, 3   North-Carolina, 3  
43
Of Vermont we say nothing; not that we entertain any doubts of their vote; but, because we hope to announce it officially in our next. New-York is full as likely to vote for Pinckney as for Madison, and Pennsylvania is more so. New-Jersey, notwithstanding "republican prospects were never brighter," will choose federal electors. Then, as we have as good right to make conjectural calculations as our neighbors, we shall set down the amount of votes for Mr. Pinckney as under.
   Ascertained as above, 43   Vermont, 7   New-York, 19   New-Jersey, 8   Pennsylvania, 20  
102
Our readers will find on comparing this with Mr. Smith's calculation, that we can find as "decided a majority" for our candidate as he can for his: and that there is more probability of Mr. Pinckney's having that number of votes than there is that Mr. Madison will have them. We would not however have the federalists trust to calculations. They can "realize the present crisis as all important. On its issue truly depend the great interests of the nation: not those of a day, but those of many years, and perhaps ages." Let them per-
form their duty, and there is not the least doubt but the event will answer their most sanguine expectations.
From the Balance.
Messrs. Editors.
I had just received your last paper, and was perusing it, when I lolled back, in my elbow chair, and fell asleep. The account of "French Liberty in Spain," was the last article that I had read; and it left a strong impression on my imagination. The paper hung loosely in my fingers. The scene seemed to vary but little. My elbow chair was the same. But a little Frenchman stood before me; and, as I supposed, had put a newspaper into my hand. The paper I thought was called "The Aurora." I proceeded to read—
"Turreau, lieutenant-general of the U. S. of America, in the name of his imperial majesty, and by order of Joseph Napoleon, king of the continent of America, decrees—
"1st. General Wilkinson shall immediately convene the military commission.
"2d. Colonel Duane shall arrest all the printers who have published ought disrespectful of the emperor, and see that their bodies are pierced and strung on a pole.
"3d. All merchants, who have dealt in English goods, shall suffer death, and their property shall be confiscated. Ben Austin shall furnish ropes to hang them: and general Skinner shall take care of their money.
"4th. Lt. Osborn and ensign Pentland shall secure all the wives and daughters of the federalists, and give them up to the care of the soldiery.
"5th. All those who have fire arms in their houses and their hands, shall be shot.
"6th. Any meeting of more than eight grown persons, or twelve minors, shall be considered as seditious, and fired on.
"7th. Every house in which there is a print of Washington or Hamilton, shall be pillaged.
"8th. Any village where a Frenchman has been killed, shall be burned.
"9th. All old men, women or children, who have cursed Bonaparte, shall have their tongues cut out.
"10th. The authors, printers, publishers, distributors, or vendors of any written or printed libel, or print, or picture, exciting to sedition, tending to bring Napoleon, or Joseph, or Turreau, or col. Duane into disrepute, or to injure the imperial throne, shall be instantly shot.
"11th. Any farmer who has ever sold any produce, to be exported to England—
At this moment, my attention was attracted by the little Frenchman, who was filling his knapsack with eatables in my pantry. As I attempted to rise, to kick the rascal out of the house, I awoke.
I have much faith in dreams, Messrs. Editors; but I hope this may not come to pass.
A PLOUGHMAN, In his elbow-chair
BY THE LAST MAILS.
NEW-YORK, September 16.
VERY PLEASING NEWS. —Last night the steam boat arrived in 37 hours from Albany, with 130 passengers. Returns from 51 towns in Vermont had been received—36 towns had returned federal candidates, 10 had returned democrats, and 5 were doubtful. This news comes from the most respectable source, and may be relied on. No doubt was entertained of the complete success of federalism in Vermont, as, last year, 24 of the towns returned democratic candidates. Such changes in other states will save the country.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.
Arrived ship Betsey, Otto, from London, 49 days from land—dry goods. Was boarded on the passage by several British ships of war, and treated politely. August 21, lat. 29, long. 44, fell in with a British fleet of merchantmen, 108 sail, from Tortola, under convoy of the Ramilies 74, and two sloops of war, out twenty-two days; was boarded by one of the sloops of war, and informed, that the fleet were in great want of provisions—requested a supply, saying anything we could spare, would be very acceptable.
Also schr. Messenger, White, 21 days from Havana. Left ship Rising Sun, from Baltimore, and others before reported.
September 17.
Arrived ship Arno, Kempton 55 days from Liverpool. Left there, 23d July, brig Caroline, Doak, for Baltimore, next day. Spoke nothing but an English frigate on the passage.

Also, brig Sally, from Boston. Also, barque Patriarch, Easton, 11 days from Charleston. On the evening of the 8th inst. off Hatteras, spoke schr. Betsey, Duncalf, from Baltimore, for Charleston. Also, schooner Amphion, Bishop, 12 days from St. Pierre. Left there brig Green- wich and schooner Good Intent, of Baltimore, and 30 or 40 sail of others, belonging primarily to the northward, had lately arrived. Flour had been up to fifty dollars, but in consequence of the number of arrivals from America, had fallen to thirty.
CHARLESTON, September 9. Captain Arundel, of the brig Sophia, of Philadelphia, who arrived at this port on Wednesday evening, in eight days from St. Kitts, informs us, that he left London in April last, for the Western Islands, where he took in a cargo of corn and proceeded to the West Indies. He touched at several of the British islands, in quest of a market. Capt. A. informs that the planters in the West India islands, having turned their attention to the cultivation of corn and other articles of provision, in future they will be able to supply themselves with every article of ground provisions, the crops which were coming in being very luxuriant. Our em- largo instead of being considered in the W. Indies as an evil, was hailed as a great and important advantage to the British nation, and scarcely any other flag is now flying in those seas, than that of the British. Accounts had reached the West Indies from Mexico, the Carracas, Vera Cruz, and indeed all the Spanish possessions and provinces on this side of the river Oronoco, stating their unanimous determination to take part with the Spanish patriots. The West Indies are now plentifully supplied with live stock from the Spanish Main, and vessels are daily arriving in the British islands, from Vera Cruz, with flour, &c.—Flour was selling at St. Kitts for 25 dollars per barrel, and pork at 30 dollars. A number of vessels had lately arrived from Halifax, with fish, &c. French privateering is nearly destroyed, in consequence of the war between Spain and France, as they are now left without any other places of rendezvous, in the West Indies, than Cayenne & Guadalupe. It is frequently declared in the British islands, that they care not whether they ever again see the American flag flying in those seas.

Mr. Duvall, Comptroller of the Treasury, declares that no part of the 2,000,000 has been drawn.
North Carolina Federalism —William Gaston, esq. of Newbern, John Winslow, esq. of Fayetteville, Dr. Robert Williams, of Pitt County, and —, of Rowan, are candidates in their respective districts for electors of president of the U. States; they are all of the Washington school, and if elected, of which there is little doubt, will vote for men favorable to a free commerce. (N. Carolina Minerva.)
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Brunswick, to his friend in New York, dated Sept. 11.
"A Frenchman by the name of Bernard who we are assured has not been in this country but a few months, and cannot speak the English language and who we understand resides in your city, passed through this town yesterday on his return from Washington, with a commission ranking him as a major of cavalry, in the American standing army. He informed a gentleman here, that he was going to New York after his effects, and then should join the army at Head Quarters, Carlisle (Penn.) We fear the hand of Napoleon is in this."
understood, that col. LIVINGSTON consented to writing the substance of his conversation with the emperor NAPOLEON, immediately after withdrawing from the interview—and it is probable he has made a communication by letter to the president. [Boston pap.]
MOVEMENTS WESTWARD. —Detachments from the following corps are under orders for the north western frontier—all belonging to the new raised troops.
Five companies of the sixth regiment of infantry, commanded by colonel Jonas Simonds—to wit:  Capt. Bennet, } Companies of the sixth  Capt. Cherry, } regiment infantry.  Capt. Gock, }  Capt. Cross, }  Capt. Townsend, light artillery. 
Capt. Rose, light cavalry. Capt. Anderson, rifle corps. Colonel Simonds, we understand, is under orders of march, in the direction of Oswego. Colonel Burbeck of artillery is, we understand, ordered for Detroit—to which position, a respectable force, it is supposed, will soon be detached from the new raised corps.
[Aurora.]  Notice to Mariners.
The Marblehead Marine Society have erected on Cat Island Rock, at the entrance of Marblehead and Salem harbors, a SPAR 40 feet high, to the top of which is annexed a CASK of about 130 gallons measure which is seen at sea 20 or 30 feet above land. And on Marblehead Rock (in the vicinity) is erected a monument painted white at the bottom and black at the top, being about three feet in the base, and 15 in height. Strangers will observe that the course from Halfway Rock to Marblehead Fort is W. by N. 1-2 N. three miles distance, leaving the beacon on starboard hand, and the monument on the larboard hand; and the monument bears from the beacon W, by S. 3-4ths S, distance 7-8ths of a mile.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Pinckneyville, Mississippi Territory, to a gentleman in Philadelphia.
"I am sorry to inform you the Indians have become troublesome on the frontiers of this country. An express reached the cantonment near this place the day before yesterday from Governor Williams, requiring two companies of regular troops who will march immediately. As the story goes an actual engagement has taken place; some mischief has been done, &c."
"When the story transpires, you shall have the particulars."
From a correspondent at Havana, dated the 26th August, received via Baltimore.
"Upwards of twenty vessels have arrived here since yesterday morning from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore! The people here are confident the embargo must be off. It has a strange appearance."
"The people here continue firm and steadfast in opposition to the French. Some of the inhabitants had lately shown a disposition to be troublesome in their conduct towards the public officers, suspecting them to be in the French interests. But the governor in a spirited and well timed proclamation declaring it not possible such an attachment could exist now toward that nation, and threatening to bring the CALUMNIATORS to a hard reckoning, has silenced them and every thing is quiet. Very large patriotic contributions are making towards the expenses of the war." (N. Y. Gaz.)
The quantity of tea consumed annually in England, Scotland and Ireland, is estimated, in the appendix to Sir George Staunton's account of the embassy to China, at 18000000 pounds, above 5,000 000 of which are said to be factitious, and manufactured in England of the leaves of ash, sloe, and other trees.
The National Estate, intended to reward and commemorate the descendants of the immortal Nelson, has at length been agreed for by the Lords of the Treasury, and we understand in Hampshire; and the present Earl, therefore will probably be put in possession of it before the end of the summer.

The humorous Dean Swift, whose anti-pathy to fishing was well known, having been asked by a little child, what a fishing rod meant—"it means, my dear," said he, "only a long pole, with a fool at one end and a worm at the other." [ibid.]
Let every independent man read the following bitter denunciation from Mr. Madison's Monitor of Tuesday last, and impartially pronounce on the pretensions of that gentleman to be the first Magistrate of a free people. The Frenchified Manikin, who is capable of patronising such sentiments, is only fit to preside over slaves. Woe to the people over whom such a being is placed in authority! [Phil. Reg.]
FROM THE WASHINGTON MONITOR. [A paper established to promote Mr. Madison's Election.]
Whatever INDULGENCIES Federalism may have experienced from the BOUNTY of James Madison, Secretary of State, it has nothing to expect from James Madison, President of the United States. The base, dishonorable conduct of the opposition towards the administration, gives them no claim upon his LIBERALITY or COMPASSION !
FOREIGN. (VIA NEW-YORK.)
LONDON, July 27.
In addition to the important communication which we made in our last number of the Emperor of Russia and Austria, having sent Ambassadors to Paris, to remonstrate against the occupation of the Ecclesiastical States by French troops, we are now enabled to state that the Emperor Alexander immediately on receiving by M. Ossepow, who was attached to the Russian embassy in Spain, advice of the change intended in that monarchy by Bonaparte, sent orders to Prince Jusserow to proceed to Paris with a formal protest against the deposition of the Bourbon family.
M. d'Ezernichew, captain in the Imperial life guards, was sent by Alexander to Bayonne to obtain some mitigation of the contributions imposed by General Victor on his Prussian majesty. Bonaparte received N. Ezernichew with great distinction, invited him to his table and presented him with a valuable ring and a brace of pistols, but declined entering on the subject of his mission. When Ezernichew returned to Petersburg early in the last month, the emperor expressed some soreness at the failure of his mediation, and dispatched couriers to Vienna and Koningsberg—sending at the same time Messrs Holmstrof and Schenk with important dispatches to Copenhagen—the latter gentleman was under particular circumstances to pass into Sweden—the Court of Denmark on the receipt of the above dispatches, sent the Chamberlain Rosencrantz on an extraordinary mission to Paris; according to some accounts to obtain the removal of the French, Dutch and Spanish troops from Holstein, &c. and by others, to co-operate with the Imperial Courts in their negotiations in relation to Italy and Spain.
A Russian army is forming in the neighborhood of Memel, and a corps of 25,000 men has been assembled at Riga—these corps are reported to be intended for an expedition into Sweden, but the magnitude of the former shews that it has another and a more important destination.
Notwithstanding these hostile demonstrations on the part of his Russian majesty, he still seems desirous to cultivate the friendship of Napoleon, and four waggons loaded with presents to him are now on their route to France having passed through Berlin some weeks since.
DUBLIN, June 28.
On Monday last, a fool hardy fellow named Moore, a slater by trade, undertook for the trifling wager of a gallon of porter, to ascend to the ball on the spire of St. Patrick's steeple, which a late thunder storm had thrown from its perpendicular direction.—After passing to the upper scaffolding, which did not approach to within twelve feet of the terrific point of his destination, he clambered up by his hands and knees, and placed himself astride on the apex of the spire that had been thrown into a horizontal position. In this tremendous state of peril he had continued but a few seconds, when to the horror of the astonished spectators, the whole gave way, and with the ball, and about one ton of the fractured stone work, the unfortunate man was precipitated in a moment from a height of 200 feet; his weight carried him through three of the stages, when his clothes became entangled, and exhibited him suspended between earth and heaven. Merciful Providence, however, and his own exertions, enabled him to seize some of the scaffolding, and he succeeded in regaining a safe footing. He came down through the church, and was carried off by the crowd, to enjoy the triumph of a gallon of porter, won at such a tremendous risk. The ball broke through to the fourth scaffold, and the stone work fell in St. Patrick's Close, without further injury than tearing up the pavement, into which it sunk upwards of three feet.

DEPARTED this life on Saturday evening last, in the 20th year of his age, Mr. JOHN WEST, of this place, eldest son of Roger West, deceased.
When age and infirmity sink beneath the stroke of death, the mind becomes reconciled to the awful mandate, by the reflection that existence could have been no longer productive of individual happiness or general utility. But when youth and merit have combined to enhance the victim, we are at a loss for an argument to induce resignation, or to alleviate regret. The career of this amiable young gentleman was arrested at a period perhaps the most interesting in the calendar of life—at a time when the endearing qualities of the mind had commenced their expansion, and every social duty rising into action. His character needs no comment—nor is eulogium necessary to give a color to his virtues!

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fire cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds, and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes, my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foulterer, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
