CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wednesday, March 5. BRITISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
In committee of the whole on the state of the union—Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair—on the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. Crowninshield. The gentleman from Pennsylvania, who has last spoken, regrets that this subject has been taken up so soon, but I regret it has not been taken up at an earlier period. Although, after I found certain information called for, I moved for other documents, calculated to shed further light on the subject, yet I then said, and I am still convinced that this information, could not influence my decision on the subject under consideration. The documents called for are, however, now before us. And it appears that the balance of trade between the United States and Great Britain, is from eleven to twelve millions against us. This difference we are obliged to make up by remittances in cash or bills from other countries; when if we did not purchase of her more than we sell to her, we should not owe this annual balance, and the amount would surely be returned to the United States, very probably in cash, as a balance in our favor from other European nations. The trade, therefore, with Great Britain, so far as relates to the balance, is disadvantageous to us. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Clay) thinks this resolution will materially injure us, while it will inflict little injury on Great Britain. But there can be no doubt that the measure it contemplates will injure Great Britain vastly more than it will injure us. Great Britain has, without any cause whatever, condemned our vessels engaged in the carriage of colonial productions, the bona fide property of American citizens. The gentleman has acknowledged, that these captures may amount to six millions of dollars. I do not know the amount, but if the adjudications continue, I believe it will soon exceed that sum. But if the amount did not exceed one million, we are bound in duty to protect our merchants. The gentleman, in his remarks, goes on the calculation that Great Britain will go to war with us, if we adopt this resolution. But I have no such idea. If, however, I held that opinion, I should not on that account withhold my approbation from it. Because I believe if a war should take place, the United States will have a great advantage over Great Britain. We should be able, in that event, to fit out a great number of privateers, and we should make two captures to their one. If a war should take place, which I do not hesitate to say, I should greatly depreciate, we should take twice as much of their property, as they would take of ours. But we are not, by the adoption of this resolution, about to enter into war with Great Britain. No such thing is in the contemplation of any gentleman. We are merely about to prohibit the importation of British goods, in consequence of her having seized our vessels, engaged in carrying on a lawful commerce, and in consequence of her seizure of American citizens protected by the American flag.
With regard to the measure contemplated by the resolution, I hope that Great Britain will not permit it to go into operation; that she will, on the contrary, on mature reflection, give us back the property she has wrongfully taken from us, and liberate our seamen from the captivity in which she detains them.
With regard to the observation of the gentleman relative to our inability to supply ourselves with the goods we get from her settlements in the East Indies, I think it proper to observe that they may be obtained from other colonies in that quarter, and as to spirits, there can be no doubt of our getting a sufficient quantity of spirits, notwithstanding the adoption of this resolution. But suppose we could not obtain a sufficient quantity of rum, or manufactured articles for our ordinary supply, and the revenue should be thereby effected for a time. We ought not to be governed by this consideration. But I believe the industry and enterprize of our merchants would soon obtain from other markets a sufficient supply of every article, woolen goods, perhaps excepted.
In November 1793, Great Britain adopted a similar principle with regard to
the colonial trade, except that the orders issued at that time went further than the present principle. In consequence of these orders four or five hundred of our vessels were seized. Every one knows the conduct of the American government at that time. A treaty was made in which Great Britain promised to pay for the aggressions committed by her vessels on neutral rights. But nearly ten years elapsed before our merchants received compensation for their losses. The principle slept till 1801. Great Britain did not find it convenient to call it again into existence before that time. It appears by a correspondence between Mr. King, then our minister at the court of Great Britain, and lord Hawkesbury, that she attempted to renew it at that time. Mr. King, however, remonstrated; and he finally received a note from lord Hawkesbury, who had referred the subject to the attorney general of Great Britain, admitting that the seizure, under this principle, was not warrantable. The opinion is this: that the neutral has a right to carry on a commerce with the enemies colonies. That the continuity of the voyage is broken when the return cargo is landed in the neutral country, and has paid duties there, and that the goods can be safely transported to any belligerent country in Europe, in the same bottom on which they were originally imported or on any other neutral bottom whatever. This appears to have settled the question, and numerous decisions in England both before and since that time have confirmed the principle as a correct one. But notwithstanding all this, to our astonishment, the same adjudications have been renewed, and the same principle considered as abandoned last war, is now revived. In the early part of the last summer we find it once more brought into existence, and the following case was made use of, as a fit pretext, to warrant the new captures which were intended should be made under this extraordinary decision of the court of appeals.
In the latter part of the late war which was terminated by the treaty of Amiens an American vessel was carried into the Island of New Providence, and adjudicated. An appeal was carried to Great Britain where the condemnation was affirmed on the ground that she was carrying on a trade during war which was not allowed in time of peace. Under this decision the cruisers of Great Britain have seized a great number of other vessels. I know this case particularly. The vessel I allude to was the Essex, capt. Orne. There was a direct importation of her cargo into Salem, in Massachusetts, after remaining there fifteen or sixteen weeks, the duties having been paid, it was shipped for the Havana. On her passage to the Havana she was seized, and adjudicated in New Providence. There was an appeal and after remaining four years undecided, the judgment is at last confirmed in England, and the capture of the American vessels commences. Can we put up with such decisions? Can we agree to them? If this principle be allowed, I desire to know whether the whole carrying trade of the United States will not eventually be sacrificed. By the carrying trade, I mean the direct trade to and from the colonies as well as to Europe. If we acquiesce in their capturing a part, Great Britain will extend her captures still further, and make a sweep of our whole trade. For my part I am not willing to make this sacrifice; if it were no more than a million I would not agree to it.
As to the impressment of our seamen, that too is a subject of most serious complaint. We have called for a document on this point which unfortunately is not yet on our tables. It is so extensive and the information drawn from such various sources that the secretary of state has not yet been able to present it. We have however understood, that the number of our impressed seamen amounts to above three thousand. During the last war Great Britain impressed upwards of two thousand of our seamen, of which she restored twelve hundred proved to be American, and 800 remained in her possession at the peace. In the short period of two years she has impressed 3,000 seamen. I believe that we are bound, by all peaceable means, to obtain the liberation of those men. Lately, one of our frigates was shipwrecked off Tripoli, and 300 seamen taken captives. We immediately paid a new appropriation bill, and sent out several additional frigates. The affair has terminated honorably to our country, and our seamen are released. Will we not now do as much for 3,000 seamen, as we then did for 300, which are but a tenth part? After the course we are now taking, should Great Britain persist in her captures and in her oppressive treatment of our seamen, and refuse to give them up, I would not hesitate to meet her in war. But, as I observed before, I do not believe Great Britain will go to war. Our trade is too valuable to her. She knows too that in such an event she will lose her Eastern provinces. The states of Vermont and Massachusetts will ask no other assistance than her own militia to take Canada and Nova Scotia. Some of her West India islands will likewise fall. She knows also other things. Her subjects own fifteen millions of the old public debts of the U. States, eight millions of the Louisiana stock; and three or four millions of Bank stock; and have private debts to the amount of ten or twelve millions, amounting in the whole to nearly forty millions of dollars.
Will Great Britain, by going to war, risk her provinces, and this large amount of property? I think she will not put so much at hazard. I believe she will take no other steps than are usual with regard to neutral trade. As I said before, the risk of a contrary course will be too great. Her minister is now trying a system, the continuance in which will depend on us. He means to see how much we can bear. By this step we shall put an end to it. If, before it goes into effect, we give him time to reflect, he will, rather than experience the injury that menaces his country, pay for the property that has been condemned, and release our seamen. Under these circumstances, and viewing the resolution as a pacific measure, I hope it will be adopted unanimously.

Thirty first Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Austerlitz, 14th Frimaire, year 14.
The Emperor set out yesterday from Austerlitz, for his advanced posts near Sarutchi, where he placed himself near his bivouac. The Emperor of Germany was not long in arriving there. The two monarchs had an interview which lasted two hours. The Emperor of Germany did not conceal both on his side and on that of the Emperor of Russia the contempt they felt for the conduct of England. They are a set of shop-keepers he repeated, who set the Continent on fire in order to secure to themselves the trade of the world.
These two Princes agreed on an armistice and on the principal conditions of peace which is to be negotiated and terminated within a few days. The emperor of Germany then informed the Emperor that the Emperor of Russia likewise designed to make a separate peace; that he entirely abandoned the affairs of England, and no longer took any interest in them.
The Emperor of Germany frequently repeated "There is no doubt but that in her dispute with England, France is in the right." He solicited also a truce for the remainder of the Russian army. The Emperor observed to him that the Russian army was surrounded, and that not a man could escape: but added he, "I desire to do something agreeable to the Emperor Alexander, I will suffer the Russian army to pass. I will stop the march of my columns, but your majesty must promise me that the Russian army will return into Russia and evacuate Germany and Austria and Prussian Poland." Such is the intention of the Emperor Alexander, replied the Emperor of Germany. I can assure you, besides you may convince yourself of it in the course of the night, by your own officers.
It is asserted that the Emperor said to the Emperor of Germany, when he asked him to come near the fire of his bivouac, "I receive you on the only palace I have inhabited for these two months past." The Emperor of Germany replied laughing ("vous tirez si bon parti de cette habitation, qu'elle doit vous plaire.") It has been so much to your advantage, that I do not wonder at its pleasing you. This is as near as could be understood the words which dropt from him. The numerous suite of the two princes were not so far distant but that they heard something that was said.
The Emperor accompanied the Emperor of Germany to his carriage, and caused prince Lichtenstein and general prince Schwarzenberg, to be presented to him; after which he returned to sleep at Austerlitz.
Every information is collecting for the purpose of writing a fine description of the battle of Austerlitz. A great number of engineers are drawing up the plan of the field of battle. The loss of the Russians has been immense. Generals Kutusow and Buxhowden were wounded. Ten or 12 generals were killed. Several aides-de-camp to the emperor of Russia and a great number of officers of distinction lost their lives. It is not 120 pieces of cannon, but 150, which have been taken. The enemy's columns which threw themselves into the lake were favored by the ice, but the cannonade broke it and two whole columns were drowned. On the evening of the day and for several hours during the night, the emperor rode over the field of battle, and caused the wounded to be carried away, a horrible spectacle, if ever there was one. The emperor mounted on a very fleet horse, galloped along as swift as lightning; nothing was more affecting than to see these brave fellows recognize him on the field, some forgot their sufferings
and said, "At least the victory is certain." "I have suffered for these eight hours, and since the beginning of the battle I am abandoned, but I have done my duty," others, "You ought to be satisfied with your soldiers to-day." With each wounded soldier the emperor left a guard who caused him to be transported into the moveable hospitals. It is horrible to say, that 48 hours after the battle there were still a great number of Russians whose wounds we were not able to get dressed. All the French were so before night. Instead of 40 pair of colors, we have already 45 brought in, and our soldiers still find the remainder of several others. Nothing can equal the gaiety of the soldiers at their bivouacs. They scarcely perceive an officer of the emperor, but they cry out to him Has the emperor been satisfied with us?"
In passing before the 28th of the line which has a great number of conscripts of Calvados and of the Lower Seine, the emperor said to it, "I hope that the Normans will distinguish themselves to-day." They kept their word. The Normans distinguished themselves. The emperor who knows the composition of each regiment, said a few words, then few words arrived & spoke to the hearts of those to whom they were addressed, & became their rallying signal in the midst of the fire. He said to the 75th 'Recollect it is many years since I named you the Terrible.' It would be necessary to name all the regiments of the army. There was not one which did not show prodigies of bravery and intrepidity. Here indeed it might be said, that death took the alarm and fled before our ranks to bury over the enemies ranks. Not a corps made a retrograde movement. The emperor said, I have fought 30 battles such as this, but I never saw one in which the victory was more decisive, and the chances so little balanced. The foot guards of the emperor were not engaged. They were employed with rage. When they asked to be employed, the emperor said to them, "Rejoice that you have not yet been in the action, you are to fall on as a reserve. So much the better if you are not wanted to-day."
Three colonels of the Imperial Russian guard were taken with the general who commanded them. The hussars of this guard made a charge on the division Caffarelli. This charge cost them 300 men who remained on the field of battle. The French cavalry shewed itself superior and acquitted itself admirably well.
At the end of the action the emperor sent colonel Dallemagne with two squadrons of his guard as partisans to ride over the field of battle and bring in the runaways.
He took several stands of colours and 1,500 prisoners. The guards greatly regret the colonel of the horse rangers, Morland, who was killed with a grape shot, as he was charging the artillery of the Russian Imperial Guards. This artillery was taken; but this brave colonel found his death. We had not one general killed—Colonel Mazas, of the 14th of line, a brave man, was killed. Many Chiefs of battalion were wounded. The Voltigeurs vied with the grenadiers. The 55th, 43th, 14th, 36th, 40th, 17th. But we dare mention no corps; it would be an injustice to the others, they all performed wonders. There was not a single general, an officer, a soldier, but was determined to conquer or to die.
We must not conceal a trait that does honour to the enemy. The commander of the artillery of the Russian Imperial Guards had just lost his cannon. He met the emperor, "Sire, said he, get me shot; I have just lost my cannon." "Young man," answered the Emperor, "I appreciate your tears, but one may be beat by my army, and still have a title to glory."
Our advanced posts are arrived at Olmutz. The empress and the whole court have fled from thence in the greatest haste. Colonel Corbineau, equerry to the Emperor, commander of the 5th regiment of rangers, had 4 horses killed under him, upon the 5th he was wounded himself, after seizing a stand of colours. Prince Murat bestows great praise on the fine manouvers of general Kellerman, on the fine charges of generals Nanzonty and d'Hautpoul and in fine of all the generals, for one knows not whom to name because they should all be named. The soldiers of the train have merited the praises of the army. The artillery made a dreadful havoc among the enemy. When an account was given of it to the emperor, he said: Its successes give me pleasure; for I have not forgot that it was in this corps that I began my military career.
The emperor's aid de camp, general Savary, had accompanied the emperor of Germany after an interview, to know whe-

the emperor of Russia adhered to the capitulation. He found the wreck of the Russian army without either artillery or baggage, and in a frightful disorder. It was midnight: General Meerfeld had been repulsed from Godding by marshal Davoust. The Russian army was surrounded, not a man could escape. Prince Czartorinski, introduced general Savary to the emperor. "Tell your master," cried the Prince, that I am "going away; he has wrought many miracles; how this day has increased my admiration of him! my will is predestined of Heaven, my will requires a hundred years to equal his; but can I retire with safety?" Yes, Sire, answered general Savary, if your majesty takes what the two emperors of France and Germany have agreed upon in their interview. And what is it? That the Russian army shall retire home, by the stages that shall be regulated by the emperor, and that it shall evacuate Germany and Austria and Poland. Upon this condition, I have the Emperor's orders to repair to our advanced posts, which have already turned you, and to give orders to protect your retreat, as the Emperor wishes to respect the friend of the First Consul. What guarantee must I give for that? Sire, your word; I give it you. This aid-de-camp set off in full gallop to marshal Davoust, to whom he gave orders to cease all movement and to remain quiet.
May this generosity of the emperor of the French not be so soon forgotten in Russia, as the fine procedure of the emperor, who sent back 6000 men to the emperor Paul, with so much grace, and so many tokens of esteem for him. General Savary conversed an hour with the emperor of Russia, and found him such as a man of heart and sense should be, whatever losses he may have experienced. The monarch asked him to give him some details of the engagement. "You were inferior to me said he "and however you were superior in all the points of attack," "Sire" answered general Savary, "that is the art of war and the fruit of fifteen years of glory. It is the fortitude the emperor has fought." That is true he is a great warrior. For my part it is the first time I have seen fire. I have never had the pretention to measure with you. "Sire, when you have gained experience you will surpass him perhaps." "I shall now return to my capital. I came to the assistance of the emperor of Germany. He has made known to me that he is satisfied, I am so too."
On his interview with the Emperor of Germany, the emperor told him: Mr. and Mde de Colloredo, Messieurs Paget and Rasumowski are all one with your minister Cobentzel. There are the real causes of the war and if your majesty continues to abandon yourself to these intrigues, they will ruin all your affairs and alienate the hearts of all your subjects, you who have so many qualities to be happy and beloved.
An Austrian major having presented himself at the advanced posts with dispatches from Mr. de Cobentzel, for Mr. de Stadion, at Vienna, the Emperor said I will have nothing to do with that man, who has sold himself to England to pay his debts, and who has ruined his house and his nation by following his sister's advice.
The emperor took the greatest notice of prince John Lichtenstein. He frequently said "how is it when one has men of such great distinction, that one can suffer themselves to be led by fools & intrigues. In fact prince John of Lichtenstein is one of the most distinguished characters, not only for his military talents, but for his qualities and knowledge. It is confidentially asserted that the emperor said after his conference with the emperor of Germany, "That man has made me commit a fault for I could have followed up my victory and taken the whole Russian and Austrian armies, but however, there will be some tears the less shed."
Thirty Second Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Austerlitz, Dec. 6th 1805.
General Friant at the battle of Austerlitz, had four horses killed under him. Colonels Couroux and Demouatier distinguished themselves. The trails of courage are so numerous, that as they were reported to the emperor he said, "I need all my power to be able to recompense worthily these brave men."
The Russians in fighting, have the habit of laying down their knapsacks; and the whole Russian army having been put to flight they were taken possession of by our soldiers. A great quantity of baggage
was also taken; and the soldiers have found it much money.
General Bertrant, who had been dispatched after the battle with a squadron of guards, has brought in a great number of prisoners, nineteen pieces of cannon, and many baggage waggons well filled. The number of pieces of cannon taken up to this time amounts to one hundred and seventy.
The emperor testified some dissatisfaction that plenipotentiaries had been sent to him the day before the battle, and that the diplomatic character had been prostituted. It is worthy of M. Cobentzel whom the whole nation regards as one of the principal authors of all its calamities.
Prince John de Lichtenstein is come to meet the emperor at the castle of Austerlitz. The emperor has granted him a conference of several hours. It is remarked that the emperor conversed freely with this general officer, who has concluded with marshal Berthier an armistice of the following tenor:
M. Talleyrand is going to Nicolsburg, where the negotiations are to be opened.
Armistice concluded between their Imperial majesties of France and Austria.
His majesty the emperor of the French and his majesty the emperor of Germany, desirous to reach the period of definitive negotiations for putting an end to the war which desolates the two states, have agreed as a preliminary to begin by an armistice, which shall continue until the conclusion of a definitive peace, or until the rupture of negotiations; and in this case the armistice shall not cease until fifteen days after that rupture, and the cessation of the armistice shall be notified to the plenipotentiaries of both powers, and at the headquarters of both armies.
The conditions of the armistice are, 1. The line of both armies shall be in Moravia, the circle of Iglau, the circle of Znaim, the circle of Brunn, that part of the circle of Olmutz upon the right bank of the small river of Trezeboska opposite to Prosnitz as far as it empties itself into the Marck, and the right bank of the Marck as far as the mouth of that river into the Danube, including however Presbourg: but no French or Austrian troops stationed within a circumference of five or six leagues round Moutch, on the right bank of the Marck.
The line of the two armies shall besides comprehend, in the territory to be occupied by the French army, the whole of Lower and Upper Austria, the Tyrol, the states of Venice, Carinthia, Styria, Carniola, the county of Gorz and Istria; in short, in Bohemia, the circle of Montabon, and all the country on the east of the road from Tabor to Lintz.
2. The Russian army shall evacuate the Austrian states, as well as Polish Austria, viz. Moravia and Hungary, within fifteen days, and Galicia within a month. The order of their march shall be traced, so that it may be always known where it is, as well as to prevent all misunderstanding.
3. There shall not be made in Hungary any kind of levy en masse, nor insurrections; and in Bohemia no kind of extraordinary levy; no foreign army shall be permitted to enter the territory of the house of Austria.
Negotiators on each side shall meet at Nicolsburg, to proceed immediately on the business of negotiations, in order to establish promptly peace and harmony between the two emperors.
Done interchangeably between us the undersigned, the Marshal Berthier, Minister of War, major-general of the Grand Army, charged with full powers from his majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy; and Prince John de Lichtenstein, lieut. general, charged with full powers from his majesty the emperor of Austria, king of Hungary, &c.
At Austerlitz, the 15th Frimaire, year 14, (6th December, 1805.)
(Signed) Marshal Berthier, J. Prince de Lichtenstein, Lieutenant General.

PHILADELPHIA, March 14.
We have great satisfaction in communicating to the public the following pleasing information, inasmuch as it completely purges the government of all criminal connivance at, or participation in, the late mysterious expedition under Miranda: A letter is received in town from general Dearborn, secretary at war, in which he peremptorily declares that neither the administration nor any of the heads of departments individually, have any knowledge of the destination of the Leader; that on this subject neither Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison ever had any conferences and communications with gen. Miranda; that it was not until after she had sailed, that they were advised of her being destined on a hostile voyage; and that on receiving this advice, suits were immediately instituted against the parties concerned, and that too, before any representations were made to them by any foreign minister or agent.
WASHINGTON, March 14.
The House of Representatives were on Wednesday engaged in discussing Mr. Gregg's resolution.
Mr. Jackson terminated his remarks, which went to shew the necessity of taking high and commanding ground with Great Britain. He declared himself most friendly to the resolution of Mr. Gregg, but disposed for conciliation, and to command a strong vote, to unite in mild measures.
Mr. Rhea, of Tennessee, followed, and occupied nearly the same ground.
Mr. Gregg replied to the arguments urged against his resolution; alluded to the wishes of several gentlemen to adopt a milder measure, and called upon them to come forward with their propositions.
Mr. Dawson spoke against the resolution, but in favor of adopting a resolution similar to that offered by Mr. Nicholson.
Mr. Early moved that the committee should rise, with the view of submitting a motion that they should be discharged from the further consideration of Mr. Gregg's resolution, and that the House might take up some other proposition more likely to unite them.
Mr. Smith opposed the motion. He had no objection to taking up some proposition, more likely to ensure a strong vote; but he thought it best that all the resolutions should remain before the committee.
The question was then taken on the rising of the committee, and passed in the negative—Ayes 53—Nocs 58.
Mr. Crowninshield then spoke at considerable length in favor of the resolution, and in reply to arguments urged against it.
When, about the usual hour, the committee rose, and the House adjourned.
On Thursday, Mr. Leib, after a few preliminary remarks, moved to discharge the committee from the further consideration of Mr. Gregg's resolution.
On this motion a debate arose.
Messrs. Leib, Early, and J. Randolph supported; and Messrs. Alston, Dawson, Smith, G. W. Campbell, Gregg, Sloan, Findley and Blackledge opposed it.
When the question was taken by yeas and nays on discharging the committee from the further consideration of Mr. Gregg's resolution, and passed in the negative—Yeas 24 Nocs 101. And on discharging them from the further consideration of Mr. Sloan's resolution, Yeas 26. Nocs 93.
The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. John C. Smith in the chair.
The chairman put the question on taking up Mr. Gregg's resolution, which was passed in the negative, Yeas 47, Nocs 70.
Mr. J. Clay moved to take up his own resolution, and those of Mr. Nicholson's.
Mr. Smith moved to take up the latter.
Mr. J. Randolph moved that the committee should rise, and spoke at considerable length, grounding his motion on the unseasonableness of the present moment for taking any measures on British affairs during a depending negotiation.
Mr. Nicholson seconded the motion, and spoke for a short time in support of it.
Mr. Alston opposed the motion.
When the question was taken, and the motion rejected, Ayes 53, Nocs 68.
Mr. J. Clay then withdrew his motion, observing that he was not anxious that the resolution he had offered should be acted on immediately.
Mr. Alston renewed the motion for taking in to consideration the proposition of Mr. Nicholson, prohibiting after a particular time, the importation of certain specified articles from Great Britain.
Mr. J. Randolph again moved that the committee should rise. Motion lost, Ayes 53, Nocs 62.
The question was put on Mr. Alston's motion, and the committee without a division, agreed to take up the proposition submitted by Mr. Nicholson.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave named ANDREW . He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lanky and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Canan , at Port Tobacco. G. B. Caufin.

THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Mead Attacks, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colic-nuts, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.

TO LEASE
For a number of years, a most valuable MILL-SEAT , SITUATED on the waters of the four mile run in the Forest of Washington, and possessing very superior advantages in all respects as will appear from the annexed certificate.
"I do hereby certify that I surveyed and fixed the site for a Mill on the waters of four mile run, the estate of George Washington Park Custis, Esq. This site has many great advantages, by digging a race only sixty poles in length, and raising a dam of two and an half feet in height, twenty eight feet of water may be had, which is quite sufficient—if it was more a great deal more may be had by extending the race to poles further. Where the dam ought to be, is a solid rock, where the water falls twelve feet in the distance of a few yards. The ground through which the race will pass, is very safe and convenient, and where the Mill house ought to be erected, the ground is well adapted for convenience and to save expenses. On the premises at a very short distance, there is timber and timber of good quality, sufficient for all building that can be wanted. This site is about six miles from Alexandria, a less distance from George town and the City, and one mile from the Great Road leading from Alexandria to Leesburg." Given under my hand, February 15, 1826. GEORGE GILPIN.
The above survey was undertaken by Col. Gilpin, at my particular request, he being a gentleman whose great skill and experience in Mathematics, rendered him peculiarly fitted for the task. Any further information may also be obtained from him.
To an eligible man, or set of men, willing to LEASE this establishment, the length of time will be enhanced. I will give all the Stone and Timber necessary for the erection of the works free of charge. I purpose building a saw Mill, as soon as the race shall have been completed at which the sawing for the other Mill shall be done without expense. The stream is a very constant one as the neighborhood can testify, and there is no Mill above the present seat. Mr. Jacob Bontz, living upon the Leesburg road about five miles from Alexandria, will show the premises, and give any further information that may be required. George W. P. Custis.
