LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
CONTINUATION OF TRANSLATIONS FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS RECEIVED BY THE SHIP EUGENIA, CAPTAIN BODEN, FROM AMSTERDAM.
HAGUE, OCT. 24.
(From the Royal Gazette.)
The battle of Jena has with splendour paved the way for the termination of the last contest between the continental powers and France and Holland; both of which powers see no more impediments against the establishment of their prosperity by land and by sea! The magnanimity of the French emperor would have prevented the shock which Prussia has received. England might also still have benefited by it, and established her fate. But the weak policy by which she was influenced, was repugnant to such generous feelings. But now it will be announced to Europe, that France performs the first character in the field of battle, and that she alone may decide on the fate of that part of the world! In vain will it be hoped that Russia will repair the losses of Prussia. The powers, in their calculations, will forget the numerous defeats which the Russian soldiers suffered in their wars against Poland, Sweden, Prussia and the Porte; as well as those moments which they received from the French and Dutch. The prejudice which operated in favor of the Russians, as the first soldiers in the world, terminated with the battle of Austerlitz; and the battle of Jena has decided the struggle for military rank between Prussia and France.
Let us examine whether Russia will enter into single combat; and we shall be able to investigate with more decision, the intentions of those who never would unmask past events in order to anticipate future occurrences.
Let them behold, first of all, how little reliance Russia places in her own strength, as she has been obliged carefully to drag Prussia into the alliance against France and Holland. Never did Russia dare to enter the field of battle single handed against any power, however weak. She made Austria share her war against the Turks; and on the occasion of her conquering Poland, she preferred offering Prussia part of it, to running the risk of the conquest alone. In her campaigns against France, she always united with her soldiers, those of the above great powers of Germany. Paul I. dared not dispute the laurel of conquest with France without the help of Austria.
We surely cannot desire stronger proofs of the moral imbecility of that crown in warfare. The combination of these facts alone, even without relating instances of defeats, would prove sufficient documents for the anticipation we have hinted at, as there is no doubt of moral strength being the only means of elevating a man above himself in warlike pursuits!
Russia was to be dreaded as long as Prussia and Austria were in a formidable attitude, and while they submitted to the will of Russia; but from the moment of Prussia's being defeated, and since Austria has, taught by ill fate, broken the ties of coalition, and separated herself from Russia, the greatest strength of the latter is vanished; and far from being able to disturb the peace of Europe, she may have every thing to dread for her own states.
May it never be forgotten, and let Prussia herself remember, while it is time, that the people, who constitute her frontiers, have all been by force subdued; and that, if France and Holland stood in need of their assistance, they would find in them as many revengers of the independence of Europe. Should Russia, however, be disposed obstinately to prolong the miseries of war, she need not by any means flatter herself with her power remaining uncurtailed, and she will, without fail, prepare the greatest disasters for herself.
The blow which has been struck at Prussia, has annihilated England's domination of the sea. The day has come, when her ambition will have to atone for her crimes. — France and Holland need no longer attack her in her island, to terminate the oppression of other sea-faring people. The naval power of that nation is seated in the centre of the North. Whatever may be the result of the next peace, it will hold out to her impediments in her future schemes of aggrandizement; and her defeat will pave the way to Holland for resuming that rank among nations, which her most implacable enemy has hitherto deprived her of. Holland may thus view the restoration of her naval power, and the renewal of her prosperity, as decided.
What will not the Dutch nation then owe to the Great Napoleon, who, by his victories, has extended the sway of her power into the most distant countries, and established her foreign influence; while he has, at the same time, effected her civilization, and established her internal greatness, by placing his illustrious brother on the throne!
[No one can withhold his indignation on reading the above insulting letter, nor refrain from pitying the poor, burlesqued Dutch—a nation once so great, and always so highly respectable.]
PARIS, OCT. 21.
First Bulletin of the Grand Army, dated Bamberg, Oct. 8.
The peace concluded with Russia on the 20th July, and the pending negotiations with Great Britain, which had nearly attained maturity, occasioned uneasiness at the court of Berlin. The uncertain, but always increasing reports, and the fact of all the powers, after being alternately betrayed by that cabinet, having reason to complain of it—occasioned it to give credit to some rumors, which asserted that one of the secret articles of the treaty with Russia, stipulated that Poland should be given to the grand duke Constantine, with the title and dignity of a king—Silesia to be given to Austria, for her share of Poland—and lastly Hanover to England. In a word, the court of Berlin firmly believed that these three powers had projected a plan, in conjunction with France, from which great danger would be likely to result to the crown of Prussia.
The complaints of France of the conduct of Prussia, took their origin at a very early period. First of all, Prussia took arms with a view of benefiting by her intestine commotions. Then she hurried to the field, at the moment the duke of York effected his landing in Holland; and, during the events of last war, though she had no reasons of complaint against France, she prepared for war, and signed the notorious treaty of Potsdam, which was afterwards done away by the treaty of Vienna.
Russia had to complain of her. That power cannot possibly fulfil the former nor forget the treaty of Vienna.
The grievances given by Prussia to the emperor of Austria, and to the Germanic body, more numerous than the former, have always been well known. She was always quarrelling with the congregation of the empire. When the German empire was engaged in any war, Prussia was at peace with her enemies. Never did she fulfil her engagements with Austria, and she continually strove to irritate the other powers to war, in order, at the conclusion of peace, to reap the fruits of her ingenuity and of their victories.
Those who might be disposed to derive such extensive fluctuation from the moral weakness in the character of the Prussian monarch, would find themselves greatly deceived. For the last 15 years, the court of Berlin has been the stage on which the quarrels of party spirit have been decided by alternate victories. One party is disposed for peace, and the other for war. The least political event, and the most trifling interfering occurrence holds out advantages to one of them; and amidst these explosions of contending passions, in this labyrinth of court intrigues, the king absolutely hesitates to and fro, without ever ceasing to be an honest man.
On the 11th Aug. a courier arrived at Berlin from the Marquis of Luchesini, and brought the most positive accounts and assurances of Russia and France having agreed to restore the kingdom of Poland in conformity to the treaty of the 20th July, and of taking Silesia from Prussia. The supporters of war became instantly inflamed—they overpowered the feelings of the king—forty couriers were sent off in a single night—and they hastened to arms!
The news of this sudden explosion reached Paris on the 20th of the same month. Every one pitied an ally who was so cruelly misguided. The necessary explanations were immediately given, as well as the most positive assurance; and, as an error was evidently the only motive for the armaments of Prussia, it was hoped that, on mature deliberation, such madness would be terminated.
In the mean time the treaty signed at Paris was not ratified; and succeeding accounts of all descriptions soon convinced Prussia that the marquis of Luchesini had collected his information in the most suspicious circles of the capital, and amongst intriguers, with whom he usually associated. In consequence of this he was recalled; and his place supplied by baron Knobelsdorff, a man of an honest, open and unimpeached moral character.
This ambassador soon repaired to Paris, and was the bearer of a letter from the king of Prussia, dated Aug. 28.
This letter was filled with expressions of an obliging nature; and was answered by our emperor in a most candid and satisfactory manner.
The day after the departure of the courier with this answer, information was received, that some songs of an offensive nature against France, had been sung on the stage at Berlin—that immediately after the departure of baron Knobelsdorff, the preparations for war were doubled—and that, in spite of all who were endowed with calmness, the war party, breaching discord from all quarters, exerted themselves so successfully, that the king became incapable of resisting their influence.
After that it was conceived at Paris, that the peaceable party, being also influenced by fictitious reports and disturbed by false alarms, had lost every advantage; while the war party, benefiting by the error which had misguided their adversaries, became guilty of numerous provocations, and reiterated insults; and that affairs had assumed such an alarming appearance, as left no other alternative but war.
The emperor then saw that the force of circumstances was such, as compelled him to take up arms against his ally. He therefore ordered preparations to be made.
In the mean time affairs were conducted with the greatest celerity at Berlin. The Prussian troops invaded Saxony, advanced as far as the frontiers of the confederacy of the Rhine, and insulted the advanced posts.
On the 7th, at Bamberg, his majesty the emperor received a courier from prince Benevento, at Mentz, who brought two important dispatches—one a letter from the king of Prussia, twenty odd pages in length [the manifesto, part of which has appeared in this paper], which is nothing but a libel against France, such as England issues through the medium of her 500L. a year scribblers. The emperor did not read the whole of it, but said to those around him,
"I pity my brother the king of Prussia—he does not understand French—he surely never read that rhapsody."
To this letter was attached the famous note of baron Knobelsdorff. "Marshal (said the emperor to Berthier) we are challenged for the 8th of October—never did a Frenchman want punctuality on such an occasion; but as it is said that a fair queen is to be present to witness the contest, let us shew our politeness, and march to Saxony without going to bed."
The emperor was right in saying so, for the queen of Prussia was in the camp dressed like an Amazon in the uniform of her regiment of dragoons, writing twenty letters a day, to extend the flames of war. We expect to see Armida in her haste setting fire to her own palace. Next to her comes prince Lewis of Prussia, a youth full of fire and heroism, who encouraged by the promoters of war, flatters himself with acquiring great fame amidst the vicissitudes of war. At the instance of these two great personages, the whole court has sounded the trumpet of war; but when it shall have once appeared with all its terrors, each shall wish to exonerate themselves from the blame of having spread it over the peaceable regions of the north. Then we shall find that they will throw the blame on the king, who is a worthy man, duped by their artifices and intrigues.
MANIFESTO OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
[CONTINUED.]
Cleves had been allotted to prince Murat; Scarcely become a sovereign, he wished likewise to be a conqueror. His troops took possession of the abbeys of Essen, Werden and Esten, under the pretext that they appertained to the Dutchy of Cleves, though they were entirely territories newly acquired, and there was not the shadow of a connexion between them and the ceded province. Great labor was employed in vain, to give even a color to this outrage.
Wesel was to belong to the new duke not to the emperor Napoleon. The king had never resolved to give up the last fortress on the Rhine into the power of France. Without a word by way of explanation, Wesel was annexed to a French department.
The existing state of the Austrian monarchy and of the Porte, had been mutually guaranteed. The emperor Napoleon certainly wished that Prussia would be bound by this guarantee, for in his hands it was an instrument which he might employ as suited his politics, a pretext for de-
manding sacrifices in a contest which ambition might occasion.
He himself however did not observe it longer than it contributed to his interest. Ragusa, though under the protection of the Porte, was taken possession of by our troops. Gradiske and Aquileia were wrested from Austria, under nearly the same pretexts which had been employed when the French seized the three Abbeys.
In all political proceedings it was naturally taken for granted, that the new state formed by France were states in the proper sense of the term, and not French provinces. But it cost the cabinet of St. Cloud but a word to deprive them of independence. The appellation of great empire, was invented, and that empire was immediately surrounded with vassals. Thus there was no trace of the treaty left, and Prussia proceeded to shut her port against England, and still considered herself as having obligations to fulfil.
The emperor at length informed his majesty that it was his pleasure to dissolve the German empire, and form a new confederation of the Rhine, and he recommended to the king to establish a similar confederation in the North of Germany. This was according to his customary policy; a policy which had long been crowned with success; at the moment of the birth of any new project to throw a lure to those courts which might occasion difficulties in the execution of such a project.
The king adopted the idea of such a confederation, not that the advice he received made the least impression upon him, because in fact it was rendered necessary by circumstances, and because after the succession of the princes, who had acceded to the confederation of the Rhine, a close union between those of the north became more than ever the condition of their safety. The king took measures to establish this league, but on other principles from those of the model presented to him. He made it his pride to collect the last of the Germans under his banners; but the right of each he left unimpaired, and honor alone was the bond of the league.
But could France advise the king to any measure which should be productive of advantage to Prussia? We shall soon see what is to be expected when France makes professions of favor.
In the first place care had been taken to introduce into the fundamental statute of the confederation of the Rhine, an article which contained the germ of all future innovations. It provided that other princes should be received into this confederation should they desire it. In this manner all relations in Germany were left intermediate, and as the means was still reserved to detach and annex to this league the weaker states, either by promise or threats, it was but too probable that in time the confederation of the Rhine would be extended into the heart of the Prussian monarchy.
And that this might no longer remain doubtful but be manifest to every one the first attempt was immediately made. Fortunately it was made on a prince who knows not fear, and who considers independence as the highest object of his ambition.
The French minister at Cassel invited the elector to throw himself into the arms of his master. Prussia it was alleged did nothing for her allies! It is true Napoleon knows how to manage his better; — and every one sees that Spain and Holland and the kings of Württemberg and Bavaria have to thank their alliance with him for peace, independence, and honor! Prussia did nothing for her allies. Napoleon on the contrary would reward the accession of the elector by an enlargement of his territory.
And this treachery was exercised towards an ally; and at the very moment when the king was advised to form his alliance of which Hesse was to be the first bulwark, endeavors were made to detach from him a power whom family connections, alliances and relations of every kind united in the closest manner to his majesty's person.
But even these hostile steps were not sufficient. Does any one wish to know what was the lure by which it was hoped to gain the elector of Hesse, and what was the augmentation of territory with the expectation of which he was flattered! It was the prince of Orange, the brother-in-law of the king; that prince who had been twice deceived in the most shameful manner; who was now to be robbed the third time! He still possessed the territory of Fulda, this was promised to the elector, and it would have been given, and the elector consented to accept it, had not Prussia taken up arms.

His majesty saw the system of usurpation advance every day; he saw a circle, continually becoming narrower, drawn round him, and even the right of moving within it beginning to be disputed with him; for a sweeping resolution forbade a passage to any foreign troops, armed or not armed, through the states of the confederation. This was to cut off contrary to the rights of nations, the connexion between the detached Hessian provinces; this was to prepare pretexts on which to act; this was the first threat of punishment aimed at a magnanimous prince, who had preferred a defender to a master.
But even after this, his majesty cannot look on it without admiration; the king considered whether a combination might not be found, which should render this state of things compatible with the maintenance of peace.
The emperor Napoleon appeared to be solicitous to remove this doubt. Two negotiations were then carrying on at Paris, one with Russia, the other with the English ministry. In both these negotiations the intentions of France against Prussia were evidently manifested.
By the treaty which the emperor of Russia has refused to ratify, France offered, in conjunction with Russia, to prevent Prussia from depriving the king of Sweden of his German territories. Yes, for many months, the cabinet of St. Cloud had continually pressed the king to seize these states, with the threefold view—first, to revenge himself on the king of Sweden; secondly, to embroil Prussia with all other powers; and thirdly, to purchase her silence with respect to the subversion of Southern Germany. But the king had long been aware that such were the views of France; and his unfortunate dispute with Sweden was painful to him—He had, therefore, been careful to provide against every suspicion of self-interested motives, and he confined his explanations to the emperor Alexander. The scene now again changed; and Napoleon, who had so long been the enemy of the king of Sweden, was suddenly transformed into his protector.
It is not superfluous to remark, that in this insidious treaty of the French emperor, in order to satisfy the honorable interest which the court of St. Petersburg took in the maintenance of the rights of the king of Naples, he promised the latter an indemnification; engaging to prevail on the king of Spain to cede to him the Balearic islands. He will act in the same manner with respect to the augmentation of territory he pretends to bestow on his allies.
These were all preludes to the steps he took against Prussia; we now approach the moment which determined his majesty.
Prussia had hitherto derived nothing from her treaties with France, but humiliation and loss; one single advantage remained. The fate of Hanover was in her power; and it must remain, unless the last pledge of the security of the North were annihilated. Napoleon had so firmly guaranteed this state of things, yet he negotiated with England on the basis of the restoration of the electorate. The king is in possession of the proofs.
War was now, in fact, declared, declared by every measure taken by France. Every month produced a new notification of the return of his army; but, on one frivolous pretext or another, it was still continued in Germany; and for what purposes? Gracious Heaven! To eradicate the last trace of sovereignty among the Germans; to treat kings as governors appointed by himself; to drag before military tribunals citizens only responsible to their own governments; to declare others outlaws who lived peaceably in foreign states, under foreign sovereigns, and even in the capital of a German emperor, because they had published writings in which the French government, or at least its despotism, was attacked; and this at the time when that same government daily permitted hired libellers to attack, under its protection, the honor of all crowned heads, and the most sacred feelings of nations.
The French troops were in no manner diminished, but continually reinforced and augmented, and continually advanced nearer to the frontiers of Prussia or her allies till they at length took a position which could only menace Prussia, and were even assembled in force in Westphalia, which certainly was not the road to the mouths of the Cattaro.
It was no longer doubtful that Napoleon had determined to overwhelm Prussia with war, or to render her for ever incapable of war, since he was leading her from humiliation to humiliation, till she could be reduced to such a state of political degra-
dation and feebleness, that, deprived of every defence, she could have no other will than that of her formidable neighbor.
The king delayed no longer. He assembled his army. General Knobelsdorff was sent to Paris with the final declaration of his majesty. Only one measure remained which could give security to the king, which was the return of the French troops over the Rhine. General Knobelsdorff had orders to insist on this demand; it was not the whole of the king's just demands, but it was necessary that it should be the first, since it was the condition of his future existence. The acceptance or refusal of it must shew the real sentiments of the French emperor.
To be continued.

A DUEL took place yesterday near this town, between Mr. Alexander S. Hove and Dr. James H. Blake, both of the House of Delegates. We hear that Dr. B. was wounded in the neck, but the wound is not considered as dangerous.
[Richmond Argus]
A letter from Richmond received by a gentleman in this town, mentions "that neither of the parties were wounded, and that while they were preparing for a second shot they were arrested and bound over to keep the peace."
Captain Pierce, arrived at Boston on the 8th inst. from St. Ubes, informs, that a British fleet still continued to cruise off Lisbon. It was reported, that the French had threatened war against the Portuguese if the British men of war were suffered to remain in port; and they consequently put to sea. There were some fears that the French and Spaniards would take possession of Portugal. It was not expected that any resistance would be made.
Captain Pierce further informs, that on the 29th of October, in lat. 36, 58, long. 15, 44, he was brought too and boarded by the British ship Leander, and treated politely; informed, that the day before she had parted company with a fleet of transports, having seven thousand troops on board, bound to Buenos Ayres.
The gentleman who for the last week has occupied most of his time in translating for us from the Dutch papers received at this office by the ship Eugenia, makes the subsequent remarks:
It certainly appears pretty clear from the French documents, that Bonaparte has not the least ambition for any long contest with either Prussia or Russia. It is to be hoped that the king of Prussia has not been too eager to conclude an armistice. The farther Bonaparte penetrates towards South Prussia and Silesia, the more perilous his situation would become, as a large Russian force was expected to land in Mecklenburg, to act in conjunction with the Swedes.
The approach of winter, and shocking state of the roads in that country at that season, would, of course, hold out great impediments to his artillery and cavalry, and consequently it would become more difficult for him to maintain his magazines at so great a distance from home. Austria at the same time threatening his right flank and his rear; as he might perhaps advance towards South Prussia; would, no doubt, seize a favorable moment for operating with her fine army, stationed on the frontiers of Bohemia, and resist the many insults she has received, however peaceable her professions may have lately been. Bonaparte would never venture across the river Oder.
A Hamburg paper stated, some time ago, that magazines were establishing on the banks of the Weser, &c for a Russian army, expected to land in Mecklenburg.

public will, were only justifiable on extraordinary and urgent occasions, and that there existed no crisis at present which called for a measure foreign to the sphere of ordinary legislation, which might produce in its progress unnecessary altercation and debate.
Resolved, That the general assembly of Virginia have an entire confidence, in no wise diminished, but increased in the patriotism of the views and wisdom of the conduct of the president of the U. States, and that the present administration merits and ought to receive the most cordial support of this assembly.
A BILL for amending the act "to extend the jurisdiction of justices of the peace" has passed the house of delegates; ayes 79, noes 59.
The object of this bill is to empower 2 justices to give final judgment in all cases where the sum in controversy does not exceed twenty dollars. And if it exceeds ten dollars a stay of execution for 40 days is allowed.
As we predicted, the resolution offered to the senate by Mr. Tracy, calling upon the president for information relative to his message of the 3d December, in which a suspension of the non-importation act is recommended, has been negatived 18 to 5.—We must repeat that those who are extolling the wisdom of the non-importation act dare not publish the letters of our minister upon the subject; and we have a right to infer from their concealment, that if published, would prove to the world the injurious effects which that law has had upon our negotiations. Under former administrations, if congress were called upon to legislate upon any particular subject, it was thought proper that they should have such information as the government possessed in order to enable them to judge for themselves of the expediency of the measure proposed.—Now the fashion is for the executive to keep all such information to himself, and congress deem it enough to know what is thought to be expedient in the cabinet, Stat pro ratione voluntas . The president wishes to suspend the operation of the non-importation act.—Congress are therefore as ready to suspend it as they were to enact it, though they do not pretend to know themselves whether the operation has been beneficial or injurious.
U. S. Gazette.
When, as Mr. J. Randolph observed, the captain and mate skulk below, and confide the care of the vessel to the cook and cabin boys, we cannot wonder at the wildness of her course.—But when the fate of our country is placed in the disposal of such statesmen as skipper Crowninshield, who declares that "we ought not to be influenced by any clouds that appear to the westward—and that it would not alter his conduct if a Spanish force had advanced as far as Washington!" It is certainly time that every man, who is anxious for his own, or the public welfare should watch the deviations of the government—since such declarations absolutely enjoin the belief, that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark.
Phil. paper.
From the Port Folio.
MR. OLDSCHOGL, In the year 1759, Dr. Will wrote a pamphlet entitled, "To David Garrick, Esq. the petition of the letter I, in behalf of himself and sisters" The purport of it was to charge Mr. Garrick with some words including the letter I, as U, in form for firm, virtue for virtue, and others. The pamphlet is now forgotten, but the following epigram which Mr. Garrick wrote upon the occasion deserves to be preserved as one of the best in the language.
O.
To Dr. WILL, upon his petition of the letter I, to DAVID GARRICK, Esq. IF 'tis true, as you say that I've injured a letter, I'll change my notes soon as I hope for the better, May the just rights of letters as well as of men, Hereafter be fixt by the tongue and the pen; Most devoutly I wish they may both have their due, And that I, may never be mistaken for U.
From the London Times.
ROSABELL.
The following Verses have been set to Music by Mr. Attwood, and sung with most expressive sweetness by Mrs. Ashe. The words are by JOHN MAYNE, author of the poem of "Glasgow," &c.
THE troops were all embark'd on board; The ships were under weigh: And loving wives and maids ador'd, Were weeping round the Bay.
They parted from their dearest friends, From all their heart desires; And ROSABELL to HEAV'N commends The Man her soul admires!
For him, she fled from soft repose, Renounc'd a Parent's care: He sails to crush his Country's foes— She wanders in despair!
A Seraph, in an infant's frame, Recuin'd upon her arm, And sorrow, in the comely Dame, Now heighten'd every charm:
She thought, if Fortune had but smil'd— She thought upon her dear, But when she look'd upon his child, O! then ran many a tear!
"Ah! who will watch thee as thou sleep'st? Who'll sing a lullaby, "Or rock thy cradle, when thou weep'st, If I should chance to die?"
On board the ship, resign'd to fate, Yet planning joys to come, Her Love, in silent sorrow sat, Upon a broken drum:
He saw her lonely on the beach; He saw her on the strand: And, far as human eyes can reach, He saw her wave her hand!
"O, ROSABELL! tho' forc'd to go, "With thee my soul shall dwell: "And HEAV'N, who pities human woe, "Shall comfort ROSABELL!

VALUABLE LANDS,
To be Sold very Cheap.
I WISH to sell my Mill Tract of Land, situate on Back-Lick and Indian-Runs, about six miles from the town of Alexandria; containing about eleven hundred acres. On this tract are two plantations besides the mill farm—on the latter there is a very good mill, in which are one pair of burr, and one pair of culien stones, with elevators, &c. complete for merchant work—a distillery convenient to the mill, with four stills and every necessary utensil in complete order—a dwelling-house, kitchen, barn, with stables under it to accommodate 20 stalls, with every other out-house requisite on a farm—a very good garden, an orchard of about 2500 trees of the choicest fruits this country can afford. There is about 300 or 400 acres of the tract cleared, the remainder in woods and a great part of it heavily timbered; about 30 or 40 acres of meadow, and nearly 300 acres more may be made on the bottoms adjoining the two runs.
ALSO,
One other tract of one hundred acres, about two miles from Alexandria, part of the Cliesh Tract, and adjoining the lands of Messieurs John C. Herbert, Robert Patton, and John Richter, the Mount-Vernon road running through it. This tract is mostly in woods, and conveniently situated for country seats. If these lands should be sold at private sale, (which I would prefer) I will take in payment, if more convenient to the purchasers, stock of any of the banks from Richmond to New-York, or any kind of stock of the United States.
If they are not sold before Friday the first day of May next, the Mill Tract will, on that day, be sold at public auction, to the highest bidder—and on the following day the Cliesh Lands will be sold in like manner. The Mill Tract will be divided into three or four farms and sold subject to a lease of four and an half years from the first day of July last. The Cliesh Tract will be divided into lots of 10 or 20 acres each. If sold at public auction the terms will be made known on the days of sale.

PURSUANT to a decree of the circuit court of the United States for the fifth circuit and district of Virginia, will be sold at public auction on the 7th day of January next, at the town of Occoquan in the county of Prince William, about forty likely Virginia born Slaves, consisting of men, women, and children, among which, are a number of boys and girls, of from 8 to 15 years of age. These slaves have been brought up in the neighborhood of Occoquan, and have for some years past been under the management of the late James Lawson deceased—and have been heretofore commonly called Lawson's slaves—They will be sold for cash.
Under the same decree, will also be sold, at public auction, on the 8th day of January next, at the same place, sundry Tracts of Land lying in the counties of Fairfax & Prince William, formerly mortgaged by John Semple to the said James Lawson, deceased. These tracts of land are situated in the neighborhood of the town of Occoquan, and some of them bind upon the Occoquan river. They are well known in that neighborhood by the name of Lawson's Land, and could be shown by most of the landholders in that part of the country. Those who may be inclined to become purchasers of these lands, may obtain accurate information of the situation and contents of the tracts, by applying to Mr. Robert Radcliffe, of Fairfax county, who hath lately made surveys of the greater part of them. The lands will be sold in tracts or divided so as to accommodate purchasers, and this will be arranged on the day of sale. The terms of sale will be, one fourth part of the purchase money to be paid in one year from the day of sale, and the payment to be secured by bond with approved security—the other three-fourths in three equal annual installments; the payment of the first of these installments commencing at the end of two years from the day of sale, and to be secured by the bonds of the purchaser. A mortgage will also be required upon the lands purchased, to secure the payments of the whole of the purchase money.—Deeds will be made by the Commissioners upon securing the payments in the manner above mentioned.
One or more of the commissioners will attend at Occoquan, with Mr. Robert Radcliffe the surveyor, on the 5th and 6th of January next, for the purpose of giving to persons inclined to purchase those lands such information as may be in their power touching the title, situation, and boundaries of the different tracts.
