AN ADDRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation are awakened to the state of foreign and domestic concerns, we perceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels the want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the work, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands. And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

Ran away, on the 17th of this instant, a yellow negro man named CHARLES, aged about 40 years, 5 feet 8 inches high, lame in his hip, occasioned by a fall from a horse, the right leg somewhat shorter than the other causes him to limp badly—he has also a large scar in between his fore finger and thumb, cut by the point of a scythe on the right hand; he is a shoemaker by trade—his cloathing is unknown. He is an artful fellow and perhaps will endeavor to get on board of some vessel, but sails to and from Alexandria. If taken within twenty miles, twenty dollars, thirty if taken thirty dollars, and if more the above reward, if brought home to his master living in Prince Georges, County near Upper Marlborough, fifteen miles from Alexandria.

as an auxiliary measure; but as a primary one, it bears but little weight; and to make the most of it, it is always a punishment on both sides.  If then we are to resume our original standing among the nations of the world, it must be by a direct change of our present policy. We must resume those bold and dauntless measures which bought our independence, and maintained our prosperity, even for a time after we had changed the politics of our general government.  Amongst other advantages, acquired by the federal administration, was a national dignity, which upheld our thriving commerce, after they were driven from office, even then continuing their credit to their unjust persecutors. The honest men of all parties are therefore invited to a candid consideration of a subject on which our existence as a nation or destruction depends.  In my next I expect to prove that the change in politics was effected more by grovelling ambition, and habitual discouragement, than by any the least semblance of true reason.

BOSTON, July 18.
The following vessels were spoken by capt. Skillins, from Isle of France: April 29, lat. 23, 30, lon. 40, ship Criterion, Starbuck, of Nantucket; informed they parted co. with the Belvedere, Nichols, the day before, May 11, lat. 37, 11, S. long. 44, 30, N. ship Perseverance, Wilson, 26 days from the Isle of France for Boston, all well with French passengers. April 19, off the Buoy, at the entrance of the Isle, of France harbor, at anchor, ship Sally, Mix of New York, 22 days from Batavia, bound in. English Indiamen, some very valuable, and other prize vessels, were brought into the Isle every day. The noted Sorcouf was nearly ready for sea. His ship carries 22 guns, is a fine vessel, and supposed to be the swiftest sailing vessel in the world.
A French frigate arrived April 17, from Europe, supposed with dispatches, and was watering, &c. for a cruise. The frigates Le Cannonier and Le Piedmontaise, had sailed on a cruise. The frigate Le Semi-lante, sailed April 17, for Bourbon, to convey a valuable English Indiaman up to the Isle of France, which had been captured by a French latteen rigged vessel, of one gun and 65 men, and carried in there—the Indiaman, it was said, had on board 500,000 dollars in specie, besides indigo and goods. The felucca sailed from the Isle of France and it was reported, carried out spies and officers to the Mahrattas, on the coast of Coromandel.
NEW-YORK, July 20.
Arrived, brig Edward, Hall, in 25 days from Montego-Bay, Jamaica. Sailed under convoy and in company with a British fleet of 167 sail, and the ships Fanny; Numa; New York; brigs Washington and Ohio, all for New York; Experiment for Norfolk, and Endeavor, for Portland. Left the brigs Jane, Rust, and Apollo, both of Boston, to sail with the July fleet. July 7, off the Havana, parted with the fleet. Flour 18 dollars, and provisions of all kinds plenty. Off Cape Hatteras, was boarded by a large French privateer schooner, of 14 guns, 6 days from Charleston. Was also boarded by a British frigate; and the British brig of war L'Observator, from Halifax, then off the Hook.
July 21.
Arrived, the brig Rajah, Curtis, 21 days from Havana. Left, brig Eliza, Gray, to sail in 4 or 5 days for New York. Flour was from 25 to 30 dollars and scarce; all other kinds of provisions plenty. On Monday, about 100 miles S. of Sandy-Hook, was boarded by the British brig Observator, captain Lawrence: the captain, supercargo, and passengers, with the letter bag, were ordered on board the Observator, and after 10 hours detention was permitted to proceed. The letters were opened and several detained. The above armed brig was under American colors, and the officers told captain Curtis that she was the U. S. brig Hornet—a frigate was in company which they said was the Chesapeake.
Arrived, the brig Aurora, Ripley, 20 days from the island of Trinidad. Left, brig Concord, Flinn, to sail for New-York 22 July; brig Neptune, Carland, for do. do.; brig New-Haven, Harrison, in 10 days for New-Haven; ship Adams, Geer, for Boston, uncertain; schr. Mary, of do. do.; schr. Friendship, Carnes, of do. do.; brig Panther, Hall, for New-York, the 14th July. Lat. 25, was boarded by a French brig from Martinique for the Chesapeake. Flour was 25 dollars.
Another Revolution in Spain.
By the brig Aurora, captain Ripley, arrived last night at quarantine, we have received a Trinidad paper of the 25th June, containing the following important intelligence:
TRINIDAD, June 25.
Yesterday evening arrived at this port the polacre ship L'Orient, after the short passage of 20 days from Gibraltar.
We regret that this paper was so far advanced before the public prints received on this occasion were put into our possession, that we cannot gratify our readers with an account of the important intelligence they exhibit, respecting the fate of the Spanish monarchy, now in all probability annihilated by the treachery of the Corsican.
We therefore propose to bring it into one point of view, by publishing a gazette extraordinary, which we will lay before our readers early in the ensuing week. Let it suffice at present to say that another revolution has taken place in Spain, by which the old king, Charles IV. has again resumed the reins of government; but by a fatality which appears to attend all the continental crowned heads, he has put himself under the tuition of Bonaparte, who keeps him, the prince of Asturias, the Prince of Peace, and several of the grandees, who accompanied the royal visitors to Bayonne, prisoners. The grand duke of Berg, under the authority of the deluded monarch, now executes the office of lieutenant general of Charles, in the government of his kingdom. The intelligence upon the whole is highly important, and exhibits a scene of treachery on the part of the Corsican, not equalled by any of his former iniquities in his extraordinary career; which, however, it is very possible, his present attempt may bring to a crisis.
Alexandria Daily Gazette
MONDAY, JULY 25.
The ship Martha, capt. Bearer, of this port, who arrived a few days since, on her outward bound passage to Calcutta, had the misfortune to have two thirds of her crew poisoned by eating fish, and, laying in a most dangerous and critical situation, they fell in with an English ship of war, the triumph, Rear Admiral Sir Richard Strachan. When the situation of the crew was made known to the Admiral he sent his Physician on board and rendered him every assistance possible and left him with an ample supply of medicine for the remainder of the voyage. The Admiral made capt. B. an offer to supply him with as many as he had sick, provided he would pledge his honor to deliver them over to the British Admiral in India, and he pledged himself to put the sick crew of the Martha into the first ship bound to America; but the seamen could not be prevailed on to leave the ship. From the aid received the whole of the crew fortunately recovered. (N. Y. E. Post.)
Extract of a letter from an American Gentleman at St. Croix, West End, dated June 27, to his friend in Boston.
"There are fish and salt provisions in plenty in the British Windward Islands. They are only in want of flour, meal and lumber; but ere long a channel for those commodities will be open, which cannot be shut very easily. Salt provisions from America are still prohibited here. At present there are large quantities of bread kind planted, which will soon supply us in a great measure. Three or four vessels have arrived at Basse End lately from the Southward."
Extract of a letter from the reverend Gideon Blackburn, superintendant of the Indian schools, among the Cherokee Indians, to his friend in Elizabeth-town, N. J. dated,
Maysville (Tenn.) June, 10, 1808.
"You are no doubt ready to request information respecting my schools; especially the one called after your society, * "The Jersey School." The prospects of my mission are not yet clouded. I have in the course of last winter dismissed several of my first classes, who mingled with the nation are likely to be of eminent service, by enlarging the stock of information not only of their parents, but many neighbors in the circles of their acquaintance. The spirit of agriculture is rapidly progressing. A very large number of families have left their villages, chosen separate farms, and are now raising all the necessaries of life, to the total destruction of the habits of hunting. On this change may be safely predicted not only the increase of property, and the conveniences of life, but the total change of manners and habits, the increase of domestic happiness, * The New-Jersey Missionary Society.
the introduction of civil government, and a vast increase of population.
Many thousand acres of land are now under cultivation more than were 3 years ago. Many of the Indian families have furnished themselves with the implements of husbandry, and have invited and procured white people to live with them, to assist in clearing their land, and teach them the art of agriculture. A body of them, nearly sufficient to form a country are about associating, that by entering into compact they may enjoy the benefits of the government of the United States. To obtain this point, and qualify persons for stations in the government has been my ambition, and kept me from extending my plan further than my former design, that by concentrating the rays in a focus, I might clearly exhibit education to the eye of the savage."

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.

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.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled. Philadelphia, August 9, 1800. Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.  GEO. BENNER, jun. No. 1, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland. I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.  LUTHER MARTIN.  HAMILTON'S ELIXIR Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED. By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.  HAMILTON'S LOZENGES, Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm. An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.  Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802. It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine; induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.  HENRY ACKERMAN. ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destroy tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton— Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher. About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.  THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.  Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker. It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking, when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now rendering his strength with great rapidity.
