May 29. PUBLIC AUCTION.
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 courthouse. 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.

Forty Dollars Reward.
Left my service on Thursday last, NEGRO LEWIS, about 18 years old, not very black, supposed to be between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 8 inches high, straight and rather slender made, two of his upper front teeth gone, which leaves a considerable gap—his dress not recollected, except when he went off he had on a coarse drab colored roundabout jacket and blue mixed kersey pantaloons much worn & had been patched with striped home-made cloth—he may change his cloaths, as his acquaintance in the county and Alexandria and neighborhood is extensive—he is slovenly in his apparel, pert, talkative and assuming among his equals.
ALSO, ON NEXT MORNING, NEGRO EMANUEL, 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, stout made across the shoulders, large feet, very much knock-knee'd, which occasions an appearance of a rocking motion in walking, of a lighter shade than Lewis; his cloaths not known, as he has sundry and frequently changes them; he is a good sawyer and waggoner, and at any work of a farm none superior. I did suppose Lewis only absconded for fear of correction, he having been very impertinent to his overseer; but Emanuel, who has a wife in the neighborhood from whom he has removed his cloaths, having also absconded, I suppose it is intended by them to endeavor to get entirely off. If taken in the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, or Alexandria. I will give 20 dollars for both, or 10 dollars for either, and if out of those counties or the state the above reward for both or one half for either, if brought home or so secured that I get them, and all reasonable charges for one or both.

THURSDAY, June 1.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Gardenier's Speech concluded.]
But it is said that the proposal made by Mr. Pinkney last summer embraced the same terms. And how? What did Mr. Pinkney offer at that time? After talking about and about the subject, Mr. Canning not understanding him, desired him to commit his ideas to paper. He wrote it. "I have the honor to state (says Mr. P.) that it was the intention"—it was (not it is) the intention of the president of the U. S. to suspend the embargo as to Great Britain in case she should withdraw her orders in council, &c. And Mr. Pinkney then makes no pledge that the embargo shall be continued as to France, but goes into an argument on the subject. Was this the pledge required by the British government? No, sir—we find till that demand was complied with she never would come to a settlement. Now if the orders in council had been then repealed, would it have produced those consequences subsequently produced by her perseverance? No, sir. In the first place there was then no pledge on record that we would resist the French decrees; our government having studiously avoided such a pledge. The government was not pledged by Mr. Pinkney even to keep the embargo in operation in relation to France. They were not yet willing to pledge themselves to resist France. They would not act a manly part even then. It was not enough that France disregarded all neutral rights and the obligations of a sacred treaty. We would not then give intimation that we would resist France, but all we said, was, that if France persisted in her decrees, we would continue the embargo as to her. On this ground the orders in council were asked to be withdrawn. British vessels would still have been excluded, whilst French were admitted. But at last that state of things has arrived, as to the pledge that this country will not submit to the French decrees, and as to both nations being placed on an equality in relation to armed ships, in which we ought first to have placed ourselves. The proclamation being removed is no impediment to that adjustment. It never would have been an impediment, if this government had been willing to do originally what it at last consented to do.
The third, last and only impediment was the existence of the embargo. As long as that remained in force, the British government stood pledged not to withdraw the orders in council. The embargo is given up. But the address and adroitness of the government is distinguishable there too; for while they killed the life and soul of the embargo they held up the lifeless corpse as though in full life and vigor. The great argument in favor of the embargo was, that it would starve our adversary. Now we had repealed the embargo, except as to Great Britain and France; we had come down on our knees, and thus broke our fall. It was said to our merchants, you shall not go to Great Britain; but you shall go to St. Bartholomews, and thence Great Britain may get your produce. As soon as you said that, sir, you abandoned that principle on which the embargo went. It was no longer an embargo that purpose for which it was designed. But it was better for our own interests to have permitted direct importation, as I shall prove; for it is a material consideration with Great Britain to have her shipping employed. If we had exported our produce immediately from this country to Great Britain, I see very plainly that British shipping would not have been employed; but as it was, in striving to affect, and perhaps injure Great Britain, we gave employment to her seamen and ships which she would not otherwise have had. But I say that the principle of the embargo was completely abandoned as soon as Congress consented to give vent to the productions of the country by a partial repeal of the embargo.
This measure was adopted on the ground that Great Britain stood so much in need of our produce and raw materials that she could not live without them; and the moment that we repealed it in this manner, the embargo was destroyed. It looked well to have the embargo continued as to Great Britain and France, because it saved appearances. I do not know that the government was to blame. In the letter of Mr. Canning, to which I have before alluded, there is an expression, the import of which plainly is, that if the British government could restore friendly relations between the two countries without appearing to deprecate the embargo as a measure of dreadful hostility, she would have been very willing to have treated with you. If the embargo had remained to this day, would you not have remained without a step being taken? But we did repeal the embargo, notwithstanding the name which was left, so much that it could not be supposed by any body to operate on Great Britain so as to be injurious to her. Those who saved appearances by a partial repeal of the embargo, granted what she wanted in this respect.
When these three impediments were removed, and by our government too, when the door was fairly opened, Great Britain walked in and offered to the president of the United States that, since we had done all that she could reasonably desire, and we did nothing more, she was willing to do all that we could reasonably desire. It is for the promptitude and frankness with which the president met the late overture that I thank him most cordially for my country. I approve it most heartily. When secretary of state, he satisfied me that when he wanted to keep off accommodation, no man was more competent; for instance, when reparation was offered in London, and our government had as lief taken poison as accepted it. I know that the president of the U. States, in the course of diplomatic discussion, could have produced delay in such a manner that no one could have decided what prevented the arrangement from coming to a happy conclusion. But he chose, when he came into power, to dispel that darkness which the administration of his predecessor had spread around. He acted with promptitude and frankness, and merits the gratitude of the nation for it—and it is the duty of the house of representatives to give their approbation of this act. And I am willing to join in it, not because I am in the habit of pouring out the incense of adulation—for I will tell gentlemen very frankly, that if any one who is so averse to praise, were to blame the president for his conduct in relation to the resistance to the laws in Pennsylvania, I would join him—but whilst I express my disapprobation that he has not repressed rebellion, that he has not detailed the causes out of which it grew and the manner in which it was composed, I must express approbation of his conduct in relation to the subject now before us. I must, indeed, regret that the president has not even submitted it to the consideration of congress, when there was a rebellion in the heart of the government, a rebellion against the judicial authority of the U. S. I shall not make a motion to express my disapprobation; but if other gentlemen did, I might vote for it.
A colleague of mine (Mr. Fisk) yesterday undertook to instruct us by reading part of the speech of a British nobleman, instead of listening to the dictates of his own judgment. As to this same Lord Grenville I have a word or two to say. Perhaps my colleague does not know that in Great Britain they understand the game of ins and outs as well as here; that there as well as here, men have one set of political connections to-day, and a new set of political connections and principles to-morrow. But the little knowledge I possess of British corruption (I am sure I shall be applauded for that word) enables me to say that there are men in Great Britain, who do not practise what they think, who make speeches for the mere purpose of putting the ins out, and themselves in. And though I would not put Lord Grenville, my worthy friend's friend, on his trial here; yet, since he is brought in, I chuse to pay my respects to him. You have heard me read the note attached to the treaty. Would you believe, after hearing his speech, that this same Lord Grenville was one of the British ministry who pledged the British nation by that note to the orders in council, which were subsequently issued, in failure of the conditions stated. And this man is to be appealed to as authority that the offer of Mr. Pinkney in relation to the embargo was really fair, and such as the government would have consented to! Will the gentleman go the whole length with his British friend? He says that when the offer to repeal the embargo was made, then the orders in council ought to have been rescinded. In the opinion of Lord Grenville, the orders in council
only became unlawful when the British government refused the order of the American minister. Is it fair to bring the arguments of the British minority to prove that the American majority are right? It might be right if it would not cut both ways. How would it operate? I am a representative of 33,000 souls, a situation which I feel as honorable as to be a British peer, and therefore am on an equality with a member of the British house of lords. I have said that the orders in council were perfectly justifiable. Now, suppose that a British subject were to quote my argument as evidence that they were lawful—I have no doubt that Lord Grenville would make a pretty speech on the occasion. And this shews the absurdity of quoting arguments used by the minority there as decisive on the subject of measures which it is a part of their plan to decry.
I think after this very fair exposition, there can be no doubt in this house that there is a great merit which must attach somewhere or to some body, in bringing us to this blaze of light from that scene of utter darkness, in which we groped so long. I cannot reconcile it to my mind to give credit for it to any but the president of the United States. It is not the embargo which has done it, or the embargo might have a sort of posthumous merit, the merit of doing that when dead which it could not accomplish whilst living. As to the non-intercourse, nobody ever dreamt that the non-intercourse would have more power than the embargo, which I think I have shown to have had none. It is therefore owing and solely due to the proper temper with which the overtures were received. And it is now in proof before us, as I have always said and contended, that nothing was wanting but a proper spirit of conciliation and fair and honorable dealing on the part of this country, to bring to a happy issue all the fictitious differences between this country and Great Britain; and that is now acknowledged to be true, for saying which I was so much censured—censured because, in saying it was supposed that I had an opinion of the British government which did not become an American citizen. Let me be understood that I have not that confidence, that I am no advocate of G. B. A mutual dependence of interests one upon the other rendered it a point of interest for G. Britain to be in a state of amity with us when it could be done consistently with a sense of her own right. But I praise not Great Britain, nor give her any eulogy for it. It is her interest which actuated her; and on this account alone should this country have produced this state of things long ago. It long ago might have been produced, if we had not made a fictitious quarrel with Great Britain, which gave much room for political dispute, and has been the means of dreadful destruction to the U. S. I wish not to discuss the point whether this or that party is entitled to the credit of the present state of things. I do not see the necessity of it. But if it were necessary, I might ask at the last session who was it in their speeches that endeavored to soften the public temper, to bring it down to a medium which was necessary to induce the British government to meet us?
You remember, sir, that there was in this house a party, who, revolving round the executive, derived light from him, who cried out "War! Give us war!" Who when they found they could not get us into war, begged for letters of marque and reprisal; and who, when they could get neither, wished for a continuance of the embargo. No, said others—(and I believe, sir, that you yourself had some share in it)—the people began to open their eyes, and some gentlemen became convinced that if they did not stop their course the people would stop them from coming here again. There were protesters, republicans, and a little handful of we poor federalists, few in number at that time, who formed a class No. 2, which would not have war, letters of marque and reprisal or embargo. There were some who were as well content as any of us not to do any thing in point of substance, but who wished to take to themselves the credit of proposing a substitute; and they certainly took as mild a one as could be expected.—We had heretofore endeavored to coerce Great Britain by exportation; but now we tried another novelty. It was non-exportation before;—and we changed it for non-importation. What coercive or other effect was expected from that, I never heard. The men revolving round the executive came down to the measure because the house would not go higher; it was the most hostile measure they could get, as they avowed as their reason for voting for it. This is the true exposition of the whole thing. Would you, after this, say that the embargo bro't about the accommodation? The Gog and Magog of the party were shivered to pieces. The
non-intercourse law was not a measure of the administration; but a measure of promise between the hot and the cool, after all our troubles we may be permitted to laugh a little that our relief was brought about by this poor non-intercourse law. The President has made good use of it. Therefore, say I, let praise be given to the executive for the promptitude and frankness with which he has acted.
I would then now, sir, as we are at an era in which we have a right to look forward to the same prosperity and happiness for which our country was distinguished under the administrations of Washington and Adams—the two first years of Adam's administration I mean—I hope that an abandonment of political tolerance which misguides men themselves by which they misguide others, that contentious spirit of party which has made many blind to their own errors, will cease and that from this time a new party, bent upon the promotion of and prosperity of the country and the preservation of public liberty may succeed—a party of country and the constitution. Both parties have run wild so long, that it is perhaps fair to say, as it is certainly true, that neither is exactly right.
When public contests last so very long No side is wholly right or wholly wrong
Let us return to the steady sober principles of the Washington administration well as to our foreign relations as to our internal concerns. We had enough of Adam's system of sedition laws, &c. during his administration, and enough of the laver of philosophy since. I wish to see the golden age of Washington revived, was then usual to speak freely. Let us it now.
As it regards the motion now before the house, let us take into view this consideration and I recommend it to the attention of the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. M c ) that if gen. Washington issued a proclamation not authorised by any existing law, so much calculated to promote the public prosperity and to call for the public concern so in the present case did president Madison; for there is no law authorising the clamour which he issued, and which I much approve. It is not expressly warranted by law, but it is in the spirit of the law. Suppose that a vessel should sail from the United States after the 1st of June to Great Britain, and it should be found, on investigation, that the proclamation had suspended the law, not being issued in conformity thereto, and the merchant was prosecuted for a breach of the law—can that proclamation be pleaded in bar of recovery? Certainly not; because it was not authorised to be issued after the revolution. It is not only necessary that the proclamation should be approved, but that a law should be passed giving validity to it. I should not therefore be content with merely giving this approbation, but should go on and pass laws upon it. If we last week got upon some new notion of passing abstract propositions against which I voice can shew that I preserve consistency in voting for this, by shewing, as I have done, a law may be founded on it.
In every point of view, whether gentlemen on one hand are willing to do justice to the executive or to heal the wounds of a party which have bled so long; if they are willing with the returning prosperity of the country to restore to social intercourse harmony without which life and liberty are of so little value, let us go with them. Let them not be so frightened by our praise to draw back, or how are we ever to approach them? I intreat gentlemen, the fore, not to be afraid of us. We are an honest and honorable party, not guided by party zeal alone. When the administration deserves credit, we will give it to them; when they deserve censure, I believe gentlemen will give us the credit of not being too sparing of it.

The house went into committee of the whole, on the three resolutions, offered by Mr. Sheffey on the subject of the Batteur, and on motion the committee rose, and was refused leave to sit again, in order that the house might act on it without the formality of a committee of the whole house.
A motion was made that the house take up the subject, but on the question being put there did not appear to be a quorum; two or three votes were taken afterwards, but still no quorum.
A message from the president then announced that he had no further communications to make.
A committee was appointed to inform the senate that the house of representatives was ready to adjourn.
When on motion, the Speaker first expressing his sincere thanks to the house, he adjourned the session to meet the 4th Monday in November next.
For the Alexandria Daily Gazette.
It has but two frequently occurred that real merit has been suffered to pine in indigence: Homer sung his productions about the streets for a living; Savage, Dryden, Otway and others, were always poor, while their works have, and will afford delight and pleasure to thousands.
An American genius has just arisen bidding fair to be an orator of the first class—his orations are not delivered like a child—although but seven years old, he feels his author—and makes others feel—and throws character into every thing he undertakes—indeed he has been applauded, "even to the very echo that did applaud again." But is this substantial? Must we drive this youth, to seek for reward and culture on other shores—forbid it Americans—cherish your own plants. This youth deserves encouragement, he has talents, genius, and extraordinary capacity. The natural powers of his mind are uncommonly great, and his retention strong beyond belief. To any person of classic literature he cannot fail of exciting extreme pleasure—we again repeat he recites not like a child, but like a man—and some of his pieces could not be excelled by any man. This is no hyperbolical praise—it is truth—and what any impartial critic must allow him. We hope that as he merits, so he will receive support among a people who have ever been kind to strangers and who must feel a pride in the encouragement of every virtuous pursuit.
FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST. Democratic newspapers. —The Aurora and other leading democratic papers are daily filled with the most abusive paragraphs against Great Britain, and the lowest scurrility against her chief magistrate. As a specimen of this take the following extract from that paper into which it was copied from another democratic paper in Kentucky.
"We only desire the administration to treat with Britain as they would with the pirates of Barbary. As any prudent citizen would treat with any villain who plundered and robbed and attempted to murder him, but who from necessity and interest or with a view of completing the destruction of that citizen, and not on the cloak of hypocrisy or the mask of honesty."
As another specimen of the language of these jacobins, take the following from the Baltimore Whig.
"If we could forget the name of ENGLAND, we might forget the crimes with which it is associated—falsehood, murder, piracy, &c. &c."
Now I submit it to the consideration of all sober, reflecting men, of whatever party whether this is the language to be used at a moment when the two countries are about adjusting all their differences, new and old, by a treaty.
"Out at last."—The democratic editors have forborne their attacks on Mr. Madison as long as they possibly could; divided between their hopes of his coming back and their fears of losing him for ever; but they can keep quiet no longer. Take the following extract from the Aurora of this morning.
"We this day give the message of the President of the 16th instant, to both houses of Congress; and in this we see only a new trick of the old game. Can this stupid diplomatic sophistry deceive any man? Is there a man in the country such an idiot as to be imposed upon by it?"
EXTRACT.
"The word of God contains invaluable treasures that can never be exhausted. It
is the source of all solid and lasting joy on earth, and leads to perfect endless felicity, when earth and time shall be no more. Its light and influence is equally suited to all ages and conditions of men, and needful and salutary for them. It is a sure guide to childhood and youth; affords safe conduct and encouragement in manhood, and all the most busy scenes of life; is the stay and solace of old age, to good men the supreme delight of their souls when earthly joys are fled. It teaches us to get the greatest good out of all present things; alleviates our burdens and heightens all our joys; sweetens every bitter cup; lessens all the sorrows, and increases all the delights of mortal life. It is a treasure different from all other treasures in acquisition, possession and enjoyment. For the acquisition nothing more is necessary than to make it the object of our choice and desire, our love and delight. Its possession is secure beyond all hazard. Thieves cannot steal, moth and rust cannot corrupt it.—We may hide it in our hearts, and carry it every where with us. No enemies can rob us of it. It is a tower of defence, and for walls and bulwarks wherever we are called to go. Wicked men and devils are baffled by it. It is for company and delight in our solitude: infinitely superior to all other company and delight; furnishes endless matter for joyful meditation, and songs in the night season; goes with us through all the business of the day a counsellor, a buckler and shield, an impenetrable armor in the midst of all events and hazards. This divine and holy word will never fail us.—In the most sudden emergencies it will be ever with us, and save us in the mount of difficulty. When every kind of help and assistance from friends and fellow creatures fail us in distress, this is a present help to us. When foes surround, when dangers threaten, when death is near, the blessed scatters away all dismal fears, gives fortitude and courage; and conducts the soul with triumphing patience, perseverance and hope through all the conflicts of life; and leads every one who loves and keeps it, safe and through the darkness and gloom of death and the grave, up to the regions of immortal day, where they shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father."
THE CHINESE DINNER.
A Fact which occurred during Lord Macartney's embassy to China.
THE feast prepar'd, the splendor round Allow'd the eye no rest; The wealth of 'Orrmus and the Ind' Appear'd to greet the guest
No idle tongue, no converse light, The solemn silence broke, Because, 'tis fam'd our Englishman No word of Chinese spoke!
CHING-TAU, his host, press'd on each dish, With polish'd Chinese grace. And much CHING thought he relish'd them At every ugly face.
At last he swore he'd eat no more, ('Twas written in his looks!) "For zounds," he said, "the Devil here Sends bot the meat and cooks"
But, covers chang'd, he brighten'd up, And thought himself in luck, When, close before him, what he saw Seem'd something like a duck.
Still cautious grown, and to be sure, His brain he set to rack; At length, he turn'd to one behind, And, pointing, cried "Quack, quack!"
The Chinese gravely shook his head, Next made a rev'rent bow, And then express'd what dish it was, By mut'ing, "Bow, wow, wow!"

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendant of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them. He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.
John Longden, Superintendant of Police.

The following highly valuable MEDICINE
Price 3 Dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S
NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have coplaned every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published) have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO,
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common-laced remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong—and 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 or 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 always 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 all 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. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

One half acre of Ground, situated at the south east corner of Duke and Royal streets, on which there are two excellent brick dwelling houses, one of which is an elegant three story house built within the last year, finished in the handsomest stile, and calculated to accommodate a large family.

Valuable Property for Sale.
Pursuant to a deed of trust made by ELIZABETH JANNEY to the subscriber for the benefit of his creditors, will be exposed to public sale, before the tavern door of Zachariah Ward , in the town of Occoquan , at twelve o'clock, on FRIDAY, the twenty-first of next month—
That valuable MILL-SEAT
the property of the said Janney , situated in the said town of Occoquan . On this site was erected, about ten years ago, a spacious three story brick mill house, which ever since has been occupied as a manufacturing mill until about five weeks ago it was destroyed by fire—the stone work of the mill and a considerable part of the brick work still stands and would be found sufficiently substantial to erect new work upon it—considerable part of the iron work would also answer for a new mill, which might with these aids be erected in time to grind the growing crop of wheat. The advantages appertaining to this valuable property which in the driest season never wants water, are so generally known as hardly to need a particular enumeration. Suffice it to say that it is situated in a healthy and flourishing little town at the falls of Occoquan river, about 16 miles south of Alexandria, on the great stage road leading from north to south in the heart of a fine wheat country, and a navigable tide water to the mill door where vessels may come of sufficient burthen to carry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.
ALSO,
At the same time and place will be exposed for sale,
The TANYARD and the Improvement thereon, which are calculated for the carrying on the tanning business to advantage and on a large scale, together with the stock of Leather, &c. on hand.
ALSO,
Will be exposed for sale, at the same time and place,
One undivided Moiety of Tract of Land, containing about 500 acres, situate on the north side of the Occoquan river, very valuable from the quantity of timber which it contains.
Terms of sale for the real property will be—Ten per cent on the purchase money payable within 60 days by negotiable notes well endorsed—for the residue a credit will be given of one, two and three years on equal payments with interest from the date, and a deed of trust upon the property to secure the payment will be required.
For further particulars, those who may desire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Ellicott , at Occoquan , or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill , near Alexandria.

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 Spectre , Monk , Adelgitha , &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avant, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap ; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira , by Lewis .
