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 two 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 some thing 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.

DAY OF RECKONING.
The following is an extract of a letter addressed to the transcriber, from a respectable farmer of Delaware. I publish it, that the farmers generally may be induced to make their calculations. They have felt the embargo, and know partly its effects. Many, however, have been lulled to repose by the Delilah of democracy; and though nothing can convince them of the profit of the measure, they are still easy under the deceptive assurance that they lose nothing by it? But let them calculate, and astonishment will succeed at the discovery of a slight of hand, practised upon them that has robbed the agricultural interest of millions! Hardly a poor man but will feel he has lost the value of a cow, of a horse, perhaps of a small piece of ground where he might sit down in ease; all in consequence of a ruinous embargo, laid by our democratic leaders, without one solid reason for the measure, while the wealthier, more able to bear the burden imposed on them, will yet feel, with a vengeance, the iron paw of "THIS MAMMOTH SCOURGE." Think of it friends, and let your votes at the next election, speak a voice or THUNDER to the ears of the men who under a canting veneration for the people have betrayed them into this great national suffering.
PHILO AGRICOLA.
DEAR SIR,
The ruin to which the farmer is subjected in consequence of the embargo, it is almost impossible for you, or any resident in the city, to have a just conception of. You will probably recollect the size of the farm I occupy, on which, with indefatigable industry, I have been able for the few years past, to average 800 bushels of wheat, 500 of corn, and 100 of rye. Taking this sketch as my guide, I shall offer you a rough statement of the loss in my own person, from an Embargo , that during your year's visit has done more injury to the farmer than all the mildews, locusts, blasts and vermin, that wielded destruction, and destroyed the fair fruits of industry, in any one country since the days of Pharaoh!
In 1806, a surplus of produce remains. Say, Last year's crop nearly entire, Present year at least     460  40  60     00  700       800  100    So that I have on hand of corn 750 bushels, wheat 1540, rye 160, which, estimated at the prices of the past and present year, stand thus:
   In 1807.     760 corn, at 75 cents, is $ 570   1540 wheat, 1 83 2772   160 rye at 1 20 192   3,534        In 1808.     760 corn, at 43 326 80   1540 wheat 93 1432 20   160 rye, 50 80   1,839  
The value, therefore, of the grain in my hands at the rate of sale in 1807, being 3,534 dollars, and now only 1,839 dollars, a depreciation of one thousand six hundred and ninety five dollars on my own farm alone, all in consequence of this embargo, which the folly or corruption of the administration has imposed upon us, and from which, for aught I can see, no good has, or ever will result. All the land taxes, stamp acts, &c. &c. against which I once joined in the hue and cry, foolishly enough, I acknowledge, shrink into nothing before this mammoth scourge. Then, because a mere atom of my income was required by a tax which I knew was temporary, and which I since have perceived under the blessing of heaven, was the only means of averting the scourge of French fraternity—I murmured. Now that almost half my property is taken to please, perhaps, the whim whims of a speculator, and indulge the mandates of the terrible Napoleon, you sarcastically tell me to chaunt songs of gratitude to the author of this mischief! No, sir! My eyes are open, I can trace now all the wiles by which our rulers have supplanted the disciples of Washington, and I rejoice to find that the embargo, has at least one good effect, that of awakening the people to a sense of their own interests. The effect of the elections which approach, I trust will have a commanding influence in our affairs; but even then, after the men are removed from office, who have brought this evil upon us, a stagnat-
ing effect will still attend your commerce, while property being pushed out, will be sacrificed for nothing, and the continuance of a glut in foreign markets by every successive crop, will so keep down the prices of our produce, that for years the farmer counting up his annual profit, will say, "but for that embargo I should have been a wealthy man." The policy then of the people is to rise in their majesty, and by a change of men, ensure a change of measures—the more speedily the more will their interests be subserved, while there is no question that all the difficulties & privations we are now suffering, would in all probability be removed or adjusted on terms compatible with the honor and interest of our country.

The following order is extracted from the Madrid Gazette of June 4, published by direction of the minister of the state, dispatches ad interim, under the date of May 22, 1808, viz.
"His imperial highness the lieutenant-general of the kingdom (Murat) has been pleased to order, that the ships belonging to the United States of America, which were detained in the ports of Spain, on the ground of their being visited by the English, shall be free."

LONDON, June 27.
The Gazette of Saturday contains an order in council allowing the importation of staves, lumber, and all kinds of provisions (excepting beef, pork and butter) in neutral or friendly ships, into all our West Indian and South American possessions, until the 22d of June, 1809; or until six months after notice may be given in the Gazette of the revocation of this permission.
A French squadron, with 8000 troops, destined to take possession of Carthagena, was met with by a number of British ships of war, and completely destroyed. Two of their frigates, and all their transports were sunk, and two ships of the line were boarded, and their crews put to the sword. The English lost two ships. The action was fought between Alicante and Carthagena, on the 24th May.
In the single province of Asturias, there have been raised and equipped 150,000 men.
Twelve artillery waggons went from the bank yesterday with money, which, it is supposed, is intended to be embarked for Sweden.
PRECAUTIONS
Which it would be proper to observe throughout the different provinces of Spain, in the necessity to which they have been driven by the French, of resisting the unjust and violent possession which their armies are endeavoring to take of the kingdom.
We cannot doubt a moment of the exertions which the united provinces of Spain would make to obstruct and defeat the malicious designs of the French, and that they will sacrifice even their lives on this occasion, the most important, and even unparalleled in the history of the nation, both in the thing itself and in the horrible means of ingratitude and perfidy by which the French have undertaken, pursued, and are now endeavoring to effect our slavery:
1. Let the first object be to avoid all general actions, and convince ourselves of the very great hazards, without any advantage, or even the hope of it, to which they would expose us. The reasons of this resolution are many, and such as any one will discover who has the use of his understanding.
2. A war of partisans is the system which suits us: the embarrassing and wasting the enemy's armies by want of provisions, destroying bridges, throwing up entrenchments in proper situations, and other similar means. The situation of Spain, its many mountains, and the passes which they present, its rivers and torrents, and even the collocation of its provinces, invite us to carry on this species of warfare successfully.
3. It is indispensable that each province should have its general, of known talent, and of such experience as our situation permits, that his heroic loyalty should inspire the utmost confidence; and that every general should have under his command officers of merit, particularly artillery and engineers.
4. As a combined union of plans is the soul of every well concerted enterprise, and that which alone can promise and facilitate
a successful issue, it appears indispensable that there should be three generalissimos, who should act in concert with each other—one who should command in the four kingdoms of Andalusia, in Murcia and Lower Estremadura—another in Galicia, Upper Estremadura, old and New Castile, and Leon—another in Valencia, Arragon and Catalonia, a person of the greatest credit being appointed to Navarre, the Biscayan provinces, Montanus, Asturias, Rioja, and North of Old Castile, for the purposes which will be mentioned hereafter.
5. Each of these generals and generalissimos will form an army of veterans, troops, and peasantry united and put himself in a situation to undertake enterprizes, and to succor the exposed points, keeping up always a frequent communication with the other generalissimos in order that all may act by common accord, and assist one another.
6. Madrid and La Mancha require an especial general, to concert and execute the enterprizes which their particular local situation demands—his only object must be to embarrass the enemy's armies, to take away or cut off their provisions, to attack them in flank and rear, and not to leave them a moment to repose. The courage of these inhabitants is well known, and they will eagerly embrace such enterprizes if they are led as they should be. In the succession war the enemy entered twice into the interior of the kingdom, and even as far as its capital, and this was the cause of their defeat, their entire ruin, and their utter failure of success.
7. The generalissimos of the north and east will block up the entrances to the provinces under their command, and come to the assistance of any one that may be attacked by the enemy, to prevent as much as possible all pillage, and preserve its inhabitants from the desolation of war; the many mountains and defiles which are on the confines of these provinces being favorable to such projects.
8. The destination of the general of Navarre, Biscay, and the rest of this department is the most important of all, in which he will be assisted by the generals of the north and east, with the troops and other succors which he stands in need of. His whole business must be to shut the entrance of Spain against fresh troops, and to harass and destroy those that return from Spain to France by this point. The very rugged local situation of these provinces will be of singular advantage in such a design, and these enterprizes, if well concerted and carried into execution will no doubt be successful; and the same may be understood of the different points by which the French troops which are in Portugal may come into Spain, or by which French troops may enter through Roussillon into Catalonia, for there is not much to be apprehended from Arragon. And, even from Portugal, it is not thought that they will escape, on account of the proclamations which have been circulated in that kingdom, and the hatred which they before bore to the French being increased without measure by the innumerable evils which they have been made to suffer, and the cruel oppression in which they are held by them.
9. At the same time it would be very proper that the generalissimos should publish and circulate frequent proclamations amongst the people, and rouse their courage and loyalty, shewing them that they have every thing to fear from the horrible perfidy with which the French have dealt with all Spain, and even with their king Ferdinand VII. and that if they rule over us, all is lost, kings, monarchy, property, liberty, independence and religion; and that therefore it is necessary to sacrifice our lives and property in defence of the king and country, and though our lot (which we hope will never come to pass) should destine us to become slaves, let us become so fighting and dying like gallant men, not giving up ourselves basely to the yoke like sheep, as the late infamous government would have done, and fixing upon Spain and her slavery eternal ignominy and disgrace. France has never domineered over us, nor set her foot in our territory with impunity. We have many times mastered her, not by deceit, but by force of arms; we have made her kings prisoners, and we have made the nation tremble—we are the same Spaniards—France and Europe, and the world shall see, that we are not less gallant, nor less brave than the most glorious of our ancestors.
10. All persons of education in the provinces should be stimulated to frame, print and publish frequent short discourses, in order to preserve the public opinion, and the ardor of the nation, confuting at the same time the infamous diaries of Madrid, which the baseness of the late government has permitted, and still permits, to be published in Madrid itself, and has caused to be circulated abroad detecting their falsehoods
and continual contradictions; let them cover with shame the miserable authors of these diaries and sometimes extend their remarks to those Chasans the French Gazetteers, and even to their Mouiteur ; and let them display and publish to Spain, and to Europe their horrible falsehoods and vain praises, for they afford abundant matter for such a work. Let all such perverted minds tremble at Spain, and let France know that the Spaniards have thoroughly penetrated their designs, and therefore it is that they justly detest and abominate them, and that they will sooner lay down their lives than submit to their iniquitous and barbarous yoke.
11. Care shall be taken to explain to the nation and to convince them, that which tread as we trust to be, from this civil war to which the French have forced us, and when placed in a state of tranquility our lord and king Ferdinand VII. being restored to the throne, under him and by him the courts will be assembled, abuses reformed, and such laws shall be enacted as the circumstances of the time and experience may dictate for the public good and happiness. Things which we Spaniards know how to do, which we have done as well as other nations, without any necessity that the vile French should come to instruct us, and according to their custom under the mask of Friendship, and wishes for our happiness, contrive, for this alone they are contriving to plunder us, to violate our women to assassinate us, to deprive us of our liberty, our laws and our king, to scoff at and destroy our holy religion, as they have hitherto done, and will always continue to do so long as that spirit of perfidy and ambition which oppresses and tyrannises over them shall endure.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, September 5.
Accounts from Campeachy (received by the brig Troy ) state, that the Spaniards at that place have declared in favor of Ferdinand the Seventh, and the cause of the patriots in Spain.
The arrival of the ship Constellation , from Batavia, announced in this day's marine list, is a new proof of the comparative moderation of the British over the French. This vessel has a very valuable cargo, and was boarded on our coast by two English vessels of war, the brig Perret , captain Wales, and the ship Penelope , captain Dick, who treated her with great politeness, and let her proceed on her voyage. Had she met a French cruiser, (which thank God do not swarm the ocean) what would have been her fate under the Bonaparte decree, although from one of Bonaparte's own vassal ports? This valuable arrival is a new proof at once of the WISDOM of the embargo, the "piratical" disposition of the English, and the power of the French on the ocean!
We have authority to state from an authentic source, that Bonaparte having arranged for the division of Turkey in Europe with Alexander the emperor of Russia, had marched an army into Dalmatia, said to be 50,000 men.
That the Turkish government drove every Frenchman out of Constantinople, declared war against France and dispatched an ambassador to London. On the 14th June this ambassador arrived in Gibraltar, and on the 20th June he was waiting for lord Collingwood's sending a ship of war to convey him to London.
Arrived ship Constellation , Hamilton, 107 days from Batavia. Sailed from Batavia the 19th May, 1808, and left there the ship Illinois , of New-York, had been sickly on board, but lost none of the crew; ship Rebecca , of Baltimore, arrived 5 or 6 days previous to departure, crew unhealthy, had not lost any; a ship in sight standing for Batavia, with American colors, supposed her to be the Indiana , of Baltimore, from the east end of the island. Mr. McClellan, supercargo of the Indiana , died suddenly at Samarang, about the middle of April. The Orozimbo , of Baltimore, sailed for do. 7th May, 1808. Capt. Kimball and crew, late of the brig — , of Boston, (from the N. W. Coast, who put into Batavia leaky and was condemned as unfit for sea and sold) went passenger on board the Orozimbo . A few days previous to sailing, an account of the loss of the three masted schooner Urania had reached Batavia, she was said to be from Amboy, bound to Batavia, with a very valuable cargo of spices. June 7th, 1808, buried John T. Irish, second mate, a young man whose death was much lamented as his good qualities had gained him the friendship and esteem of all on board. August 22, lat. 24 26, N. long. 61, W. sent a boat on board the schooner Hetty , of Folly Landing, Captain Schoofield, 32 days from Lewis-Town, Delaware, bound to Angola, who informed us that we had nothing to fear.

Election. —We have not yet received official returns from either New Hampshire or Rhode Island. It is, however, placed beyond all doubt, that the federalists have succeeded in both states. In the former, the majority will be from 4 to 6000—in the latter, about 400. Such glorious successes should animate the hopes, and invigorate the efforts of the friends to the country in all the states where elections are yet to be holden. (Wash. Fed.)
We are pleased to hear, that a gentleman in the city has recently received letters from Spain, containing the accounts of three actions fought between the patriots and the French, from the 15th of June to the 3d of July, in which the former obtained complete success. (Ibid.)
FROM A CORRESPONDENT. Our pure democrats, in speaking of the rising of the patriots in Spain, all adopt the precise language of the old tories in 1775, and thus endeavor to frighten the friends to the right of self government out of their hopes in favour of an insulted people. Such democrats are col. Rife, Intelligence Smith, &c. &c. "Quem Deus vult perdere prius demencat," says Sammy; and no maxim was ever more appropriate than this to himself and all his party. (Ibid.)
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Baltimore, dated Havana, 6th August. "Produce is on the rise, and there is reason to believe will be up to 6 and 8 dollars as soon as the shipping arrives from England and Spain; as for America, we have no hope of her. The embargo has had no other effect here than to distress a few merchants and planters: We have had and still have plenty to eat and drink; and we do not, since the peace with Great Britain want an article from America (excepting for its cheapness) Flour we have from Vera Cruz."
Travellers from Vermont say, that there is scarcely room to doubt of their elections being completely federal. Good hopes are entertained both of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The federalism of the little state of Delaware is certain. So that we may shortly expect that Anti-federalism and Embargoism will not show their heads north of Maryland. [Phil. pap.]
LATEST FROM THE HAVANNA.
By the schr. Republican, Newhall (says the N. Y. Ev. Post) from Havanna, we have received several numbers of the Aurora of that city. The articles of intelligence which they contain have been anticipated by the late arrivals from Gibraltar and England, but they also contain a number of official documents, among which is the Manifesto of the Supreme Council of Seville, in the highest degree interesting. It shall be given in our next. In the mean time we give the following letter to Murat.
"Murat! the loyal and valiant Spanish nation, armed en masse, not tumultuously, but well organized, has 300,000 combatants, prepared and ready to fall upon you and your army; in the mean time respect the lives of your fellow citizens, as well in the capitol as in the other places, which by treachery you are in possession of; that moderation alone can save you; like lions we will defend our sovereign and our families. You have deceived yourself in supposing us barbarians, we shall be so only in the vengeance which we intend to take of you, if you perfidiously shed the pacific blood of those who have incautiously suffered themselves to be disarmed. Think of our victories of St. Quintin and Pavia; we are the same now that we were then: posterity will with honor commemorate our efforts: we shall recover our ancient splendor. The nation will break the unworthy chains which you had prepared for it: 14 millions of souls are not to be conquered by proclamations: let us hasten to victory. Spain, we are already free."
Mr. Jefferson has received a most convincing proof from the people of New Hampshire, of his persuasive powers. In his address to the legislature of that state, he tells them, "that it would be unwise ever more to recur to distant countries for comforts and conveniences."
Viewing the right of self government as the first of comforts and conveniences, the good people of New Hampshire, by electing real patriots, the disciples of THE GREAT WASHINGTON, to represent them in the national councils, have decided that it would be unwise to recur to the distant country of
France for the further direction of our affairs. Rhode Island has adopted this wise decision and chosen her representatives from the same description of men with New Hampshire, and Vermont will confirm the opinion, and complete the New England phalanx.
It is a fair, and we trust it will prove a correct inference, from these proceedings in the eastern states, that the dignified sentiment of gen. Pinckney
"Millions for defence—not a cent for tribute." has made a deep impression on the minds of the American people; and, as compared with its degrading contrast,
"France wants money, and must have it." uttered by Mr. Madison, will not fail to determine the suffrages of the nation to a judicious choice of the chief magistrate, at the ensuing election. (Phil. Reg.)
FROM THE BRATTLEBOROUGH REPORTER.
EMBARGO!
Why was the embargo intended by Mr. Jefferson to be like a circle? Because it was to have no end. Why is the embargo like a poor portrait painter? Because it makes a great many bad looking, long faces. Why is the embargo like the fifth wheel of a waggon? Because it is of no manner of use. Why is the embargo like the jaw-bone of an ass? Because it has ruined thousands. Why is the embargo like couching for the catarract? Because it makes those, who were politically blind, see clearly. Why is the embargo like an incurable sore finger? Because it ought to be taken off. Why is the embargo like good strong coffee? Because Bonaparte is remarkably fond of it. Why is the embargo like red wine when we have not white? Because it makes us stick to Port. Why is the embargo like the sting of ingratitude? Because it is painful to bear. Lastly, Why is the embargo like French influence in our cabinet. Because unless speedily removed, it will be the ruin of
AMERICA.
REANIMATION.
Scintillula latent forsitan.
Yesterday afternoon, a son of Daniel Stansbury, aged about 5 years, who had fallen off the dock into the East River, was taken up cold and apparently dead; but by the medical aid of doctors Bloodgood and Ricketson, was reanimated and restored to life, to the admiration of many, as well as great joy of his parents.
This case is recorded to show, that there is not only hope of life, but that the latent spark of vitality may be seemingly extinguished a considerable space, and afterwards revived by continuing resuscitating process a sufficient length of time; and is recommended to the attention of every citizen, as well as the faculty, wherever similar accidents may occur.
The same process is equally advisable, and has sometimes been found effectual in suspended animation from suffocation, hanging, &c. (N. Y. pap.)
Convulsions. —In the last number of that valuable work, the Medical Repository , we find an account of two cases of convulsions relieved by violent pressure over the stomach. This distressing disease, so alarming in its appearance, and, oftentimes, so fatal in its effects, demands from the friends of humanity and the professors of the healing art, every aid which their exertions and their talents can bestow for its relief. When the means of certain relief can be understood and applied by any bye-stander, the knowledge of it becomes extremely valuable and important to the community. We therefore feel it to be our duty to give an abstract of the two following cases.
Doctor Samuel Brown, of New Orleans, was called, at different times, to two patients in convulsions. To the first he gave the usual remedies without effect, but, recollecting that convulsions had been relieved by a bandage tied tightly round the body, he proceeded to apply it, and while attempting to tighten it, his hand was pressed with some force into the pit of the stomach. A change in the countenance of the patient was immediately perceived, and on the augmentation of the pressure his countenance brightened into cheerfulness. He smiled and begged the pressure to be increased. When the pressure was removed the convulsions returned. This experiment was repeated several times to establish the certainty of the relief afforded by the pressure. The patient ultimately went to sleep with the whole weight of the doctor's body resting on his knee, in the pit of the patients
stomach. The pressure was withdrawn and the patient continued free from spasms.
The second case was relieved in the same way, but the pressure made by the knuckles in the pit of the stomach was found sufficient. She had been in convulsions for an hour, and in five minutes was relieved by the pressure.

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 fine 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 Foal-getter, 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. R. W. Ashton.
