Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED, ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE. Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle of Otranto, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents. RICHARD III. In justice to this excellent Romance, we must remark, that the Grand Dramatic which for several seasons past drew full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunalp; the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's translations in the Romance style, is so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary to the publishers. Five editions of this Romance were in a very short time, after publication in England, it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira.

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

TUESDAY, AUGUST 15.
We copy the following excellent Prayer from the "Reliques of Robert Burns," a work just published. It was written, says the bard, when fainting fits and other alarming symptoms of pleurisy, or some other dangerous disorder, first put nature on the alarm. Charleston Courier.
O THOU unknown, Almighty cause Of all my hope and fear: In whose dread presence, ere an hour, Perhaps I must appear.
If I have wander'd in those paths Of life I ought to shun; As something, loudly, in my breast, Remonstrates I have done;
Thou knows't that thou has formed me With passions wild and strong: And listening to their witching voice Has often let me wrong.
Where human weakness has come short, Or frailty step aside, Do thou, ALL GOOD: for such thou art, In shades of darkness hide.
Where with intention I have err'd, No other plea I have, But, THOU ART GOOD: and goodness still Delights to forgive.
From the New York Evening Post.
Second Letter. —The following Letter is the other that I promised on Saturday. I was mistaken, I find, in saying that the second letter was written "after the news of the arrangement between Mr. Smith and Mr. Erskine." The subject of it is the new order in council of the 29th April, which the writer singularly enough supposes to have been issued in pursuance of an arrangement between the British government and Mr. Pinckney.
This letter is written with less ability and possesses less interest than the other; could we but see the third which is promised in the close of this, but which will not probably appear, at least not at present, we should be put in possession of a key to unlock, completely, the secrets of the French cabinet in respect to this country. From an attentive perusal of what is before us, however, I think we shall arrive at this important conclusion: that no arrangement can be made with France, which has not for its basis, a rupture with Great Britain. Hence the clamor now echoing from one French press to another all through the country from Baptist to Everitt, for war with England. But it all wont do, good folks; Mr. Madison is not disposed for such a war, and if he were, the people would not now support him in it, and he knows it. But to the letter.
Second letter to Monsieur Le Comte de *** on the arrangement concluded between the Americans and the English.
Licos intra muros peccatur et extra.
In my first letter, Monsieur le Comte, I told you my sentiments of the raising of the embargo in the United States. I considered that measure as extremely favorable to the English commerce, or rather as its plank of safety. I believe I have demonstrated to you the truth of this assertion; but I had only time to say a few words respecting the arrangement concluded between the two countries, and to call your attention to the disastrous consequences which that arrangement must produce to us. The Morning Chronicle of the 5th May, has just given us some details on that subject, and I there find the most convincing proofs of every thing that I perceived at the first glance.
Neither you nor I, nor any person in the least degree acquainted with what passes in England, the character of the people, the parliamentary debates, the stratagems of ministers, the pretended combats of parties, always at bottom agreeing on every thing which tends to the pecuniary interest of the nation; no person, I say, would be the dupe of the pretended quarrel which that journal, styling itself anti-ministerial, appears to have with the arrangement in question; but nevertheless the trap is so well laid, the intention to mislead the general opinion of Europe is so manifest, it with apparent ingeniousness confesses its fears lest all the measures which the English government has just taken, should be turned against itself; I see so many people, well
disposed in other respects, regard every thing said by the Morning Chronicle as gospel, and believe that all that has just been done is in the highest degree advantageous to us, that I have thought it my duty to unmask openly this miserable juggling, and point out the real intention of the English journalist, and of those who have directed his pen.
For this purpose, I have only to put in the margin some very simple reflections on the crafty reasoning with which he accompanies his news; and your doubts will be speedily removed, as mine were.
LONDON, May 5.
(a) "On the 26th of April the orders in council of the 11th November, 1807, of the 25th of the same month, of the 18th December, 1807, and 13th March, 1809, relative to the commerce and navigation of the U. States were revoked and annulled."
Certainly after having sounded so loudly the importance and advantages of your orders in council; after having maintained them until now, notwithstanding universal complaints, confess that very imperious motives were necessary to make you renounce them. But these motives are not very difficult to divine. After having given loose to your ambition; after having attempted to carry on your system of monopoly, alone, unaided, without disguise, you have soon felt that it was necessary to renounce the chimerical expectation. Exiled from the greater part of the continent of Europe, and from that of North America, deprived of your ancient auxiliaries and of a vent for your manufactures, how were you to distribute abroad the immense superfluous of your merchandize of every species? How were you to answer the complaint of your planters and manufacturers? How were you to appease your indiscreet declaimers, who in their speeches were publishing your distress? You were then obliged to submit to necessity. The Americans have availed themselves of the critical situation in which you were placed. They have offered to lead you again their assistance their industry and their flag, but on condition that you will spare a little their self love; that they shall no longer be obliged to go to you, to tread upon the crucifix, (b) and that they shall receive at least a moderate share in your profits. All that is arranged amicably, and we now see you united for the purpose of obtaining the booty, until you shall quarrel about the division.
"The same day, a new order of council determines the conditions under which the U. S. may trade with other nations."
Always the tone of masters, even when you have need of the assistance of others; but this is an old and bad custom among you; and surely, should there not be something concealed?
"It is decided that the ports of France and Holland, and their colonies, plantations and dependencies; the ports of Italy to the north of Orbitello and Pissaro; the port of Barcelona, the bay of Roses, in Spain, the coast of Biscay from St. Andero to Fontanbaria, shall be considered as being in a state of the most rigorous blockade."
In fact to open to the Americans all the ports of the globe indiscriminately, to permit them to go to those belonging to or under the control of France, after having yourselves raised the obstacles which prevented them, would not that be throwing off the mask too openly? In saying to the Americans: go, encrase and multiply every where, would it not have been avowing the perfect harmony which is established between you and them, and exposing them to receive amongst us a very cold reception to say the least; (for union and harmony between you and them, must naturally produce quite contrary effects between them and us.) How then were you to draw from their flag all the aid which you must have expected from it? Was it not necessary in order to have the appearance of not being to speak vulgarly, hand and glove with them, to put some restrictions to your kindness, to cause the American commerce to be considered as still oppressed in some respects, in order that her vessels escaped without much trouble from your pretended vigilance, from your ridiculous blockade, might be received among us and our friends with open arms, and as victims escaped from your cupidity?
By reflecting on it a little, this suspicion appears to me to acquire a considerable degree of weight.
(a) The reader is particularly desired to take notice where the quotations begin and end.—ED.
(b) This alludes to a ceremony which it is said the Dutch are obliged to undergo, before they can be admitted into the ports of Japan. The Japanese will have no intercourse with christians, for which reasons the Dutch deny their religion, and as a proof of their sincerity, tread upon the crucifix.—ED.
The new order of council was made on the same day that you revoked the others. How could the American negotiator, when demanding, when obtaining the revocation of the old orders, have acknowledged the legality of the new, if it had not been tacitly agreed between you and him, that the latter should only be pro forma, as in fact it is; for you know as well as we, that your whole navy united, would not be sufficient to guard such an extent of coast. This order, in short, if you had the intention to cause it to be executed, if it could be executed, would it not be contrary to your dearest interests, would it not deprive you of the most considerable markets of the continent? Add to all this the singular precaution of declaring publicly that you would not give licenses to trade with blockaded ports. Nothing more is wanting to convince us that your new order in council has a secret end in view, and that end is no other than to procure to your factors a more free entrance into our ports, by pretending to interdict it.*
"Although it be as yet very uncertain whether this arrangement is the result of an agreement made with the government of the United States, and although the American minister, Mr. Pinkney, has not yet given to it his formal assent, the partisans of the ministry proclaim that result with much emphasis."
Be not uneasy on that head, and let the partisans of the military enjoy a triumph, which you heartily partake. Nothing is less uncertain than the assent of Mr. Pinkney. He has given it with joy, believing that it promotes the interest of his own country in promoting the interest of yours, and we shall soon see that he was before hand sufficiently sure of the approbation of his government.
"It depends upon the French government to change the effect of all these measures, and perhaps to turn them against ourselves. The commerce of the United States tends towards the ports of France. It will readily enter them, ridiculing our rigorous orders and our vain precautions. The merchants of that nation will know very well how to elude the prohibitions which we appear to impose, since they elude even those of their own government."
Yes, certainly, it all depends upon the French government, and you know very little of it, if you think it will be your dupe. It belongs not to us to anticipate the intention of that vast and profound genius, which has already withdrawn a great part of the world from your pernicious influence; but you may expect every thing from him, except what would favor your monopoly, and confirm in your hands the sceptre which he means to break in pieces. We may here remark how much every thing I have said above respecting the hidden meaning of your blockade acquires force and certainty by what you say here, and how much you fear lest the Americans should not find access to our ports. What a misfortune it would in fact be to you! what a loss to England! what a terrible blow to your commerce, if the produce of the two Indies should freely enter the ports of France and her allies! no, the French government has too much reason to be satisfied with you, to play you so perfidious a trick.
"Vessels of that nation entered our ports, at the very moment that we learned that the bill which forbade all commerce with England was sanctioned by Congress."
Think you that we have been ignorant, & can there exist more evident proofs of the attachment of your government in your favor? Is it conceivable that in making us the same offers, the same promises, the same menaces as to you, they would so early have prejudged the question in your favor? Can it henceforth be doubted but that the arrangement has been made in America itself, between the English or federal party and the authorised agents of England?—Would American ships have departed for London and exposed themselves to all the rigor of the former orders in council, if they had not been certain of their (as yet tacit,) revocation? Did they condescend to enquire whether France approved this scandalous renewal of intercourse, this manifest violation of the blockade in which we had placed the British Islands? And why, if the intention of the Americans had been upright and pure, did they not come freely to the ports of France and Holland as well as
* And you, Americans, will provide yourselves upon your independence recovered by the abolition of the orders in council? If there were no connivance between you and them, would you suffer them to forbid you to approach an immense extent of coast? Would you have subscribed an arrangement at the very moment when this new decree was issued? Would you have submitted to this new right of search and capture? Would you have renounced your most incontestable rights?
to England? What means this dissembling on the one hand this confidence on the other? "Let us fear every thing from a covetous and ingenious, who observe our increasing embarrassment and approaching distress, without effort or combat, without a navy. They are trying to get into their own hands a coast protected by the most flourishing and an hundred years of naval victories, present themselves modestly and find every where a favorable reception, they declare themselves our rivals, would be repulsed if they were only as our factors."
Doubtless it is because you fear something from such a people, that you open them your ports, it is for your own sake that you sell them annually from two to three and fifty to three hundred millions of manufactured articles, which they come to you for but by selling themselves to the nations the produce of your colonies, to ruin you that they bring you naval vessels of which you have need to keep up your rivalishing navy. This is the rivalry you pretend to dread, which ought to prevent us from looking upon the American your factors, and insure them our will. Risum teneatis.
"The blockade which it is wished to be respected by the Americans, is of an extent that it may be looked upon possible to be enforced."
Who knows it better than your navy and why they then have they taken no measure if it is not to deceive us, in that your friends may enter our ports freely, under the mantle of rivalry oppression.
"Why are not the ports of Russia opened, when that government manifests us an enmity always increasing, and ours has lost all hope of mollifying it?"
A fine question! because you have permission to sell your productions to Russia, to purchase hers; because your flag is received in her ports, you are enabled to transact your affairs through others as was done last year, and will be again, if Russia consents to furnish you naval stores, to attack her fleets and ports.
"In the present state of things, the Americans may communicate with the other part of the ports of Spain and Portugal."
Because the insurgents of Spain and Portugal, like yours have need of provisions and you yourselves have none to spare.
"Sweden is also open to the commerce of the U. States, and yet how many pretexts alarms have we not on the side of that kingdom. The other ports of the Baltic are interdicted, and there is not one of them which our vessels are received."
Because you foresee that you will long lose the alliance of Sweden; because the sound is about to be shut either by force or by force, as Trieste doubtless is; because you want active agents over you cannot act for yourselves.
"The real motive of this arrangement to facilitate the new loan which the chancellor of the Exchequer has just obtained at the bank and on the exchange, loan, it is said, will be still more considerable than those of former years. The pence only of the army the present augmentation of expense is frightful time when the public revenue diminishes still greater proportion. The customs the excise, which are the principal branches of it, suffer every day more and more the stagnation of commerce."
At last we have you. Habemus tentem reum. You want a considerable loan. The customs and the excise are the principal branch of revenue, suffer every day more and more from the stagnation of commerce. You confess the measures France had taken were beginning to produce their effect. A little longer, and they would have been followed by consequences most disastrous to you. Masters of the Indies those possessions were about to become a real burden to you. The rest of Europe were on the point of being last freed from your tyranny, and the distant nation, who had imitated their example, would have found, in the increase of its population, of its industry, its agriculture, an ample recompense for some momentary sacrifices. It was necessary for you to extricate yourself from that alarming crisis, to regain advantages, to re-open the channel of commerce, to you the treasures of the world, to snatch from other nations means of prolonging their sufferings to render useless twenty years of cost.
† Think you that we have forgotten the false neutral papers fabricated in England, and the false certificates of which were sold in the north and in the south at two louis a piece.

end of triumphs over you and your allies. All this you have effected by your amicable arrangement . Your commerce will revive; the coffers of your customs and your exchequer will be replenished; your loan will be promptly filled up. Be it so—you are under great obligations to those who render you so signal a service; but at least expect that France and her allies will deign to contribute to it.
Such, Monsieur Le Comte, are the replies which might be made to the English journalist; or rather to the mercantile coalition which has been formed against us.—The ministers of that nation are certainly not in the wrong to sing victory, and as for us, we cannot but see, with painful uneasiness, the English commerce, that audacious Proteus, almost touching the earth, rise up under another form, and escape all our attacks. Had I not reason to say to you, in my first letter, that in the present state of things, all maritime and colonial commerce, permitted or suffered on the continent of Europe, cannot but turn to the advantage of England and her exhausted finances; that pretended neutrals will necessarily be the most powerful auxiliaries of the English commerce; that France and her allies must be on their guard, and frustrate by their firmness, manœuvres so contrary to their true interests.
Examine, and re-examine the question in every point of view, and see if it can be answered in any other manner; if there be, on our part, any possible tolerance, which will not in its result, contribute to the advantage of mortal enemies; examine whether in the interior of the continent, under whatever forms, the productions of the two Indies do not always proceed from England; whether, in short, the proceeds do not go into her coffers, whether her fortune is not founded upon those accumulated proceeds, and whether she can ever be compelled to make peace, if she finds among us, and her other enemies, the means of prolonging the war.
This is not the first time, as you well know, that my feeble pen has combatted the odious system which would submit the whole universe to the domination of a single people, not by force and the glory of arms, but by the arm perhaps not less formidable of passion, caprice and prejudice. After having unveiled the new plot which threatens us, a third letter will perhaps indicate to you the most proper methods to preserve us from it, and will destroy the frivolous pretexts by which it is attempted to advocate a change of measures on our part. I shall esteem myself but too happy, if, from the depth of my obscurity, I can throw some light upon a question which so nearly concerns the welfare of the French empire, and the glory of its august chief.
D. C. PARIS, 20th May, 1809. P. S. At the moment of sending you my letter I learn from good authority that an American vessel has entered the Meuse, with a cargo of tobacco, pretending to come from Denmark. All the letters from Hamburg state that the American vessels which had arrived at Tonningen, came direct from London. I have predicted to you all these manœuvres, you will see plenty of others. One might be an excellent chancellor of France, without knowing all the arts of chicane; without being, or having been a merchant, it would be impossible to form an idea of all the methods which the mercantile genius can employ to elude the severest regulations. Here, happily, the question presents but a single point. Will you and your allies admit the Americans? England is saved. Will you repulse them, whencesoever they may come? England has missed her aim, and is more embarrassed than ever. Seek not a mezzo termine (middle path) between these two extremities; you would lose your labor.
D. C. Already the American flag floats on every sea. No time has been lost. They are feeling the ground on the right and on the left. Two vessels of that nation have ventured to enter Tonningen, and the Danish government has thought it its duty to sequester them, until the powerful arbiter of the continent shall himself decide.

NEUTRAL COMMERCE AND FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.
HOLLAND.—Two American vessels have been recently seized in the Texel, though loaded with tobacco, oil, &c. in conformity to the last decree of king Louis. The Gov. Strong of Boston, arrived at Helvoetluys the 20th of June, and was seized—no cause alledged and nothing done about her as late as the 25th. All communication with her has been forbid.
ITALY. Extract of a letter from Leghorn, June 2. “ Besides the Mary, the schr.—, capt. Thompson, of Baltimore, has been taken and carried into Naples; there is a schr. from Philadelphia and a brig from Boston carried into Naples, and another American vessel carried into Reggio in Calabria.” —Same letter, June 8, says, “ There are 11 more American vessels taken, 3 of them carried into Naples, and 8 into Ancona. Another American ship with 1000 boxes of sugar had been taken, but was re-captured by a British frigate.
THE NORTH.
GOTTENBURG, June 7. “ Russia still refuses to admit any vessels from Sweden; and the Danes continue to take and detain all that come within their reach.” A letter from capt. Haskell, of the brig Ann, of Beverly, at Gottenburg, dated 5th June, states, that the bark Packet, Pedrick, of Marblehead, had been carried into Christianstadt (Norway) and condemned, vessel and cargo, and that the vessel was given up by the captors to capt. P. who had arrived with her in ballast at Gottenburg, and further informed, that the brig Ann, Howe, of Boston, belonging to Messrs. Parsons and Sigourney, was condemned, and a vessel belonging to Gloucester; and that the marine court was proceeding to the trial of others, which it was expected would share the same fate.
Mr. Gray from Boston yesterday brought news that 15 vessels had gone up to Russia; that 9, having the Imperial Licence , were admitted, and 6 refused. To sail under British licences , not Russian , is paying TRIBUTE .

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
From the Boston Centinel. On Tuesday, the schr. Enterprise , capt. Vinal, arrived here, in a short passage from Belfast, in Ireland. We have been favored with a file of Belfast papers to the 2d July, which contain London intelligence to the 28th June, 7 days later.
The duke of Brunswick continued to carry on an active predatory war in Saxony; and the archduke Charles had dispatched some 8 or 10,000 men of his army into Saxony under gen. Amende, who had captured Dresden, Wurzburg and Leipzig. 3000 Saxons had been surrounded by them and taken prisoners. 60,000 men of the Hungarian insurrection were on the march to reinforce the archduke Charles.
After marshal Lefebvre left the Tyrol, to reinforce the French grand army, the Tyrolese rose and massacred the French detachments.
The French conscription in Holland was violently opposed.
Prussia is to remain neutral. A great number of French privateers had been laid up, and the crews sent to the Danube.
Some hundreds of the French who had escaped the massacre of the Spaniards in the recapture of St. Andero, by flying on board the British ships had arrived in England.
A great expedition was fitting out of England. From 35 to 40,000 men were to be employed; and commanded by the earl of Chatham, gen. Hope, &c. Sir Home Popham was to command the naval force.
Lord Grenville Leveson Gower is appointed British secretary of war, vice lord Murray.
Letters from Holland state that several English and American vessels had been condemned in Riga.
The English stocks continued rising.—June 26th, three per cents were at 69 1-2.
Captain Vinal informs that much anxiety existed in the minds of Americans in Ireland, for the fate of the numerous vessels bound to the north of Europe: that the Danes were capturing every thing in the Baltic they could find; and that insurance on American vessels from England and Ireland was at 40 guineas, to return 19 in case
of sailing with a British convoy.
The English papers contain many reports which time has contradicted, and which we have no room to particularize.
Capt. Taylor, arrived at Boston on Tuesday from Cadiz, in 45 days, mentions, that the French army of about 25,000 men, was about 150 miles from Cadiz, (in Estramadura no doubt) but that the inhabitants entertained no fears of their nearer approach. Barcelona still remains in possession of the French. Capt. T. brought no papers.
From Cadiz, June 23, 1806. “ Our political situation is growing better every day. The French army is retiring from Estramadura. The English and Spanish armies are advancing in pursuit of it; and we now daily expect an engagement, the result of which we doubt not will be favorable to the arms of Spain.”
Extract of a letter from Boston to the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, dated August 9.
“ The Irish papers received yesterday makes mention of a new and severe decree of the emperor of Russia, avowedly intended to prevent the British from benefiting by Russian commerce, but in its operation calculated to be oppressive on the American trade.—If we may credit the papers the troops of the Duke of Brunswick and a detached corps of Austrians have been very successful in Saxony and Franconia; and the greatest alarm prevails. Indeed nothing but utiquity in Napoleon could completely control the exclusive territory of which he is directly or indirectly the master.
“ There have been some slight disturbances at Belfast among the master weavers; but they were settled. A reduction of wages was the cause.
“ Some speculators in London have, for 50 per cent. insured that Bonaparte will not occupy Vienna on the first of July. They will assuredly lose, as he was there on the 30th of June.
“ The PLOVER, reported to have sailed from England for Philadelphia, is said to have returned about the 20th of June FROM A CRUIZE.
“ The Swedish Constitution is completed —It is said to give to the new king the power of making war & concluding peace.”

R AN AWAY, from the subscriber, living in Prince-George's county, Maryland, near the Woodyard, about the first of September last, a Negro Man , named GUY , about thirty years of age, about six feet high, tolerable well made, is very black, his cheek bones are tolerable high, speaks quick and pert, has no mark as I know of by which he can be more particularly described. It is needless to give a description of his cloaths as what few he took with him must be worn out. I have been informed he has frequently been seen in Alexandria in the course of last winter and spring, and passed by the name of BUTLER , as a free man. It has since been reported he is dead, but I doubt it, as I cannot find from whence the report originated. Should he not be dead, any person that will secure him in any jail so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward, and if brought home all reasonable charges.

TO MILLERS.
I HAVE invented a machine called a Wheat Rubber , for which I obtained a patent on the first day of this month. This machine may be seen in operation in the mill of Nathaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those millers who feel an interest in investigating its merit and have not an opportunity of visiting Occoquan, may be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott by letter. My Wheat-Rubber , I do verily believe is upon entirely new principles, the cost of erecting it a trifle, the materials of which it is composed easily attainable in any part of our country, and the plan simple in the extreme: any workman of common capacity will be enabled to erect it from description only. Practical millers know, that in a great proportion of the wheat that comes to market (from the manner it is stacked in the fields by the farmers and exposed to the weather) a number of sprouted and unsound grains mingle with the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity of the miller to separate it from the sound grain—they also know those unsound grains injure materially the taste and color of flour—my machine not only frees the wheat of stone, onion, cockle, dirt, &c. but does absolutely take from it every unsound grain, from what cause soever it may have been injured, as my machine will not let any unsound wheat pass it—millers may have their screen wire much finer than hitherto used, and thereby save considerably—it will also be found that the grain in passing the rubber, is polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat is picked perfectly clean of dust or dirt. Some instances having occurred of certificates being obtained, saying much more in favor of a new invention than the public are willing to admit after trial—I hope it will be a sufficient apology for my taking a different course. My price for the privilege of using the rubber is fifty dollars for each pair of wheat stones the mill contains.
Letters directed to me post paid shall be attended to.

FOR SALE,
The following VALUABLE PROPERTY.
A TRACT OF LAND,
CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffalo Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winchester, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all incumbrance, including an excellent merchant, mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally rolling, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone. It will be laid off to suit purchasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland, containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country.—It will however be laid off to suit purchasers.
The above lands are held by deeds of purchase duly recorded in the general court,
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, adjoining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq. of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest tenanted at will. This land is situate in what is called the big bend of Potomac, and borders on it. In point of fertility it is esteemed inferior to none in that part of the state and is held by deed from James Marshall, esq.
Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the waters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benjamin Harrison, jun. esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality. It is held under the original patentee by deeds duly recorded in the general court.
Five full & complete Shares in the Dismal Swamp Company.
Upwards of 16,000 acres of Lands, being very old military rights, lying in the states of Ohio, Kentucky and the Indiana territory, chiefly patented in my own name and ready to be shewn.
A more particular description of the foregoing property may be seen by applying to Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, who is authorized to make contracts, or to myself in Alexandria. The titles are all undoubted, and the terms proposed are, one fourth in cash at the time of conveyance, the balance in three instalments, the last two to be on interest from the date. Any species of the public stock and of the different Banks in the United States of Insurance Companies—of the Potomac Bridge and Turnpike Companies will be received in payment according to their fair value. Ground rents in the city of Richmond and town of Alexandria, or Houses and Lots, will likewise be received in payment according to such rates as may be agreed upon.

With pleasure I do return my sincere thanks to the above named ladies, and many others who have favored me with their certificates and custom in the purchase of Yarwood's Patent Washing Machine. I find them still in great demand in this place, but finding a very great scarcity of plank to answer the purpose of making them here, I shall in a few days or weeks commence making them to the southward. But will endeavor to supply others at a short notice after my return. I have a few now made on hand, which can be had if applied for soon.

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