RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloon, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
BRUMAL ODE.
The varying beauties of the changeful year, By many a happy poet has been sung, Spring, summer, autumn, elevate and cheer, And furnish charms to grace his warbling tongue.
But "who can paint like nature," who can tell, Heaven's kind designs to further human good? For peace and plenty with its favorite dwell, And numerous blessings round their paths are strew'd.
Each season yields some new delight to man, Some pleasing novelty in each has birth; He witnesses in each wise nature's plan, To warm, to fertilize and bless the earth.
Spring first advances, gaily dress'd in flowers Then ruddy summer's sun-lurat face appears; Next glorious autumn with his ripen'd stores, Then winter, parent of a thousand fears.
Oft have those opening beauties of the spring The numerous joys the summer months display, And all the plenteous fruitage autumn brings Grac'd the gay poets sweetly warbled lay.
While winter, cloth'd in terrors & in storms, If sung at all, is sung on trembling lyre, Is thought the scheme of nature to deform, And waste her beauties in its withering ire.
Yet though gay nature cease a while to bloom And all the others season's charms are fled, Although the chilling air breathe no perfume, And Flora's smiling progeny be dead.
Still there are joys the wintry scene to cheer, Though storms our peaceful tenement assail: Content and social bliss inhabit there, While health is waited on the bracing gale.
Though the bright orb of day in clouds retire, In learning's page the studious still may find, Around the blazing hearth's all cheering fire, The more exalted pleasures of the mind.
And calm content, fair virtue's favorite child, Opening its soothing solace in the breast, Can on the face of winter light a smile, And the drear season of its gloom divest.
Let then the storm its threatening efforts try, And spread its desolating fury round; The good man lifts to heaven his patient eye, Nor anxious fears his tranquil bosom wounds:
For placid conscience smiles upon his days, And tunes his heart to gratitude and praise. WERTER.
From the Federal Republican.
"CORRUPT—DIVIDE AND—TERRIFY." The three Great Pillars of Napoleon's Throne."
By his gold, the emperor of France has corrupted some of the greatest men in Europe; by his intrigues he has divided the most powerful nations of the continent; and by his power and fortune terrified the dastards of every clime.
The Atlantic separates France from the U. S. therefore, have we so far escaped the gripe of foreign tyranny. But we are in imminent danger of falling under the French yoke. It is folly, nay treachery to our country, to attempt a concealment of our perilous condition. The measures of our government prove that our rulers have been blindly led by the influence of a foreign tyrant; the adherents of those rulers publicly espouse the cause of usurpation and despotism, and every day brings us nearer the point to which democracy drives us—subjugation to a foreign despot, anarchy and civil bloodshed at home.
How have Americans fallen from their high estate of peace, dignity and greatness! Folly, corruption and cowardice, seem to have tainted even the dispositions of many of the people. The emissaries of Napoleon have poisoned their minds, and his hired agents are even suffered in the public prints
to recommend submission to his tyranny and injustice. Let us, say democratic editors, "cover under the wings of Bonaparte's Eagles." The time at which this treasonable exhortation to become slaves, was uttered, adds not a little to its baseness. We had just received intelligence, that the tyrant of France, had spurned and rejected our mild entreaties for peace; that our uniting against England, was the lowest price of his forbearance, and that our minister despairing of any accommodation, was about to depart from France. At such a moment, finding that negotiation was useless; that no remonstrances would make the tyrant relent, that all the immense property perfidiously wrested from our merchants in violation of an existing treaty, was to be converted into the means of supporting his wars, and perpetuating scenes of vice, blood and desolation—at such a moment, did the editor of a leading ministerial paper, recommend submission to French cruelty and injustice. He exhorted free Americans to "cover under the wings of the Imperial Eagles!" How long will freemen countenance the wretches who plot to enslave them! If the eyes of our deluded citizens are not to be opened, if their suspicions and fears are not to be excited by the bold disclosure of democratic views, their liberties are not worth preserving. Mean, timid as the Spaniard, spiritless, degenerate as the modern Spaniard, they deserve to be kicked and buffeted, to be made a foot-ball for any upstart despot who thinks it worth his while even to insult them. But, say the democrats, we ought to join France and here are our reasons.
"The irregularity and feebleness which characterize the English government, compared with the order & energy of the French, exhibit a most striking contrast, and afford a fine subject for speculation. A lame, superannuated being tottering on his staff, would have as reasonable a chance of discomfiting a man in the prime and strength of life, as England has, of opposing France with ultimate success. Add to the disparity, too, the old man's bearing a burden; the young man none; recollect the overwhelming debt of England, and the well managed funds of France; and your prospects will be the clearer.—"Flat justitia."
If justice were done, the fugitive traitor who penned the paragraph should be bound hand and foot, and transported to his native country, to receive the reward of the crimes which he may have fled to avoid the punishment of.
These French tories and blood thirsty Jacobins, who recommend submission to Napoleon, vilify our government for receiving the new British minister, and most shamefully slander those citizens of Baltimore, whose hospitality and politeness have induced them to entertain and treat him with civility. The crimes and perfidy of "Copenhagen Jackson," are alledged as good cause to treat him with scorn and contumely. It is an insult to our government, exclaim the emissaries of Napoleon, to appoint such a monster an ambassador to a civilized nation.
Upon this ground, the French Jacobins may be safely met. The character of the British minister wants not defence among men of sense, but who will be found hardy enough to applaud the moral virtues, and advocate the means by which the French minister was raised to distinction. But it is from our purpose to attack the character of public ministers. Those who have the curiosity to hear something of the merits of Gen. Turreau, may consult the history of La Vendee, and learn by what hellish perfidy and inhuman cruelty, the inhabitants were butchered and exterminated. They will discover how the caprice of fortune in contempt of merit, honored and exalted a guilty regicide.
But if the actions of Kings and Envoys are to be investigated before a nation will consent to treat with them, we are bound to take up the gauntlet thrown by French emissaries. Grant that the King of England is a fool; grant that he is "a lame and superannuated being tottering on his staff," and that old age has brought on a second childhood, grant all this and still much more, cannot weightier objections be found to treating with the emperor of France. Let us look into his life, and scrutinize his imperial actions. It is a task from which the heart turns with loathing and disgust, but it must be performed. As the critical moment approaches when the final question will be put to the people, whether they will remain free and defend their rights, or become the vassals of Napoleon, it becomes of infinite importance for the people to be acquainted with the character of their intended master before they enter into his service. There is a sort of discretion, even among slaves by birth, to examine and enquire into the character of a man before they select him as a master.—If but a choice of calamities is left us, we
may at least exercise the privilege to ascertain and select the least.
The true reason why Napoleon Bonaparte, the modern "cut throat of the Empire and the rule," is adored by French tories, and Deified by democratic Jacobins, may be found in the short notice which follows of his crimes and enormities.
Many of our readers may recollect that in the year 1793 Toulon was in the possession of the English. During the siege of that city Bonaparte was recommended to Barras by the general who commanded the Republican army, and was accordingly elevated to the rank of chef de brigade. The shocking cruelties which were committed after the surrender of the city, have scarcely a parallel in the black catalogue of French crimes, and it is well known that Bonaparte arrogated the exclusive merit of these enormities. He issued a proclamation summoning all the French citizens suspected of being connected with the English, to attend at a particular spot upon the pain of death. Nearly two thousand, men, women and children were collected. At a signal, cannon charged with grape shot were fired upon them, and such as were only maimed, were instantly dispatched with the bayonet or the sword. The following is the official letter, boasting of this atrocious deed, which the arch fiend sent to his employer Barras. Read it, people, and know the temper of this Bonaparte, whom the "Democratic Press" advises you to choose as your master, or in other words, to "cover under the wings of the Imperial Eagles."
"Citizens Representatives,
"Upon the field of glory, my feet inundated with the blood of traitors, I announce to you, with a heart beating with joy, that your orders were executed, and France revenged; neither sex nor age have been spared; those who escaped, or were only mutilated by the discharge of our republican cannon, were dispatched by the swords of liberty and the bayonets of equality.
"Health and admiration,
"BRUTUS BONAPARTE,
"Citizen sans-culottes.
"Toulon, 29th Frimaire, year 2."
The discharge of our republican cannon! Yes, it is from such monsters and sans-culottes as Bonaparte that our democrats borrow their notions of republicanism and democracy.
The republican Bonaparte committed numerous other ferocious acts to ingratiate himself with the blood-hounds of France. His crimes raised him to the station of second in command of the army of the interior. Italy was the next theatre upon which his deeds of blood and desolation were committed.
The first act of cruelty and perfidy was committed against the duke of Modena. He extorted millions from the duke as the guarantee of his neutrality. But scarcely was the money pocketed and the treaty signed, before the duchy was destroyed, and the unfortunate duke was sent into exile, where he perished.
The next act of outrage and cruel injustice was committed against the Pope. His dominions were violently wrested from him, without provocation, and he sent a prisoner to France, where he either dragged out a miserable existence in a dungeon, or was dispatched by poison or the poniard. The king of Sicily would have suffered a similar fate, but he found his safety in flight. Those who were left behind were dealt with as might have been expected from a robber and a cut throat, without faith, honour, or religion, and who it was well said, unites the atrocity of a demon with the vanity of a child. In no age has any tyrant, not even Nero himself, perpetrated crimes of a more horrid description, than those of Republican Bonaparte.
The next opportunity for Bonaparte to gratify his thirst for blood, and manifest his contempt for religion was afforded by the expedition to Egypt. As soon as he effected a landing, which was done without opposition, he issued a proclamation declaring that "he was come to put an end to the actions of the Mamelukes," "to put an end to the infamous race of Beys"—"to rescue the rights of the poor from the hands of their tyrants," and with a most insulting hypocrisy, added, that "the French respect more than the Mamelukes, GOD, HIS PROPHET & THE KORAN." "Tell the people we are the friend of true musselemans; we dethroned the Pope, who preached that it was necessary to make war against the true believers," &c. He then enjoined prayers to be said as usual. "with glory to the Sultan, glory to the French army HIS FRIENDS, curses to the Mamelukes, and happiness to the people of Egypt."—Such was the specimen of atheism, treachery and imposture which this perfidious monster gave, prior to his entrance into the city of Alexandria. The scene of murder,
effrangement and brutal cruelty which followed, is known to all Europe. He did not permit the soldiery to desist from the commission of murder and rapine, until every possible apology for this unnecessary and impious, was to produce a favorable first impression, by striking terror into the enemy. All his operations were conducted in a similar style. Hypocrisy, apostasy, and atheism were successively summoned to his aid, that he might the more effectually deceive the inhabitants. He attempted to produce a belief that he had intercourse with the divinity. "Those who are enemies shall find no refuge in this world or in the world to come—no man can be so blinded by destiny—the day will come when all sequence of orders from above, human efforts are of no avail against me." Thus like another Mahomet the Impostor, did this sacrilegious cut-throat work upon the superstition of fanatics and bigots.
Egypt was made the scene of acts, at the bare mention of which, humanity is shocked and affrighted; deeds so horrible in their nature that mankind will scarcely give credence to their narration. Posterity may disbelieve them, but it is folly for those who live in the present age to discredit or deny them. They who have witnessed or read of the horrors of the French revolution; who are acquainted with the history of a Robespierre, a Carrere, a Danton, and a Marat, and the prodigal effusion of human blood to gratify the vengeance of these revolutionary blood-hounds, will not think it incredible that a wretch of Bonaparte's character could butcher prisoners in cold blood, and poison his own soldiery, when no longer able to aid him in his hellish works.
At Jaffa, nearly four thousand helpless and wretched captives, were fired upon by the orders of Bonaparte, and thus murdered in cold blood. This deed, the bare recital of which is enough to make the blood chill with horror, was quickly followed up by another more shocking. He caused poison to be administered to upwards of five hundred of his own soldiers who had been wounded in battle—in fighting to gain honor and renown for him, their commander. These things may seem an illusion, but they are of record, and when posterity shall read them, they may exclaim with Burke, ages have been crowded into days!
But the measures of Bonaparte's iniquity was not filled. Let those who adore the monster and recommend submission to his will—those who have so lately written and talked so much about Religion and Church bills, attend to what follows. He declared that if he could get possession of JERUSALEM, he would plant the tree of liberty on the spot on which the cross of Jesus stood, and would bury the first FRENCH GRENADIER who should fall in the attack, in the TOMB of our BLESSED SAVIOUR!! This last act of sacrilege terminated the disgraceful campaign in Egypt. Bonaparte deserted the army and secretly fled to France, leaving his comrades in terror and consternation. Upon his arrival at Paris, he was received with open arms by all parties; terrorists & royalists, all looked up to him for protection and support. He very soon subverted the then established government of France, and placed himself at the head of the new government in the character of First Consul. The frauds and impositions which he has since practiced to raise himself to the dignity of an Emperor, are fresh upon the recollection of all. We pass over his acts of perfidy and cruelty at home, to notice his treachery and base injustice to foreign countries.
Passing by the atrocities which he committed in Genoa, we will notice his diabolical contrivances to get within his power and destroy the chief, who by his valor and fidelity had preserved to France one of her most important colonies. Whilst holding out the right hand of friendship to the colonists of St. Domingo, the abhorred tyrant violated his plighted honor, by arresting and murdering general Toussaint. This instance of treachery and villainy ought not to be the less detested, because a sable chieftain was the wretched victim.
The next notable occurrence in the life of this political Judas; this apostate and blasphemer, who alternately renounced the holy author of religion, and assumed the title of its friend and protector; who adored Mahomet to-day and worshipped the Pope to-morrow, was, by the religious Concordat, to declare his disbelief in all religions. Even after this he sacrilegiously claimed the distinction of being styled the Restorer of all religions, while he profanely and impiously discountenanced the worship of God and violated his altars.
To give a regular detail of the cruelties and enormities of Napoleon Bonaparte

would swell into a volume. Millions of his fellow creatures have been slain, and rivers of blood shed to gratify his insatiable ambition. The most meritorious and patriotic Frenchmen have been assassinated, buried alive, or driven into exile, to appease his vengeance. Kings have been kidnapped, governments overthrown, and nations almost depopulated, to make way for his relations and extend his power over the whole globe. As to his recent and unparalleled perfidy towards Spain, the circumstances are too well known to require a recital. It will not only serve as an awful warning to all the nations of Europe, but Americans may profit by the example.
Such is the character of the tyrant, the hypocrite and blasphemer under the wings of whose Imperial Eagles Americans are told to cower. They who can read such advice with patience, and without burning with rage at the idea of becoming the base vassals and supple tools of such a monster as Napoleon Bonaparte, are unworthy the name of freemen.
The things which we have written of this scourge of the universe are no fictions, and since the question is propounded to the American people, whether they will suffer themselves to be chained to the Imperial Carr, it is the business of all of us to make ourselves acquainted with the character and disposition of our proposed king and master. The people of this country, however they may be persuaded to believe these things fabrications, and that Napoleon is a good honest man, that he is the "friend of America" and is "fighting her battles," yet they are not without some little knowledge, derived from hard experience, of the injustice and perfidy of the tyrant. They know that in contempt of a solemn treaty, then in existence, he violated their rights, seized burned or confiscated their property—that he treats our minister with indignity, and peremptorily refuses us justice unless we unite with him in his war of extermination. All these things are within the knowledge of the people themselves, and they have severely felt that it is no fiction; they know too that there are amongst us, men who would sell their country to this tyrant to-morrow if it were in their power. Knowing these things, and daily feeling their effects, what excuse is there for their shameful indifference to their situation and coward passiveness to wrong and insult? One thing at least is within their power. They can crush the detested faction which is the cause of our danger, and secretly plots to bring us under the galling yoke of a blood-stained usurper. The crisis draws nearer and nearer. We have not long to deliberate. Unless the people are awakened to a just sense of their danger; they will find this free and prosperous country a province of France. And that things may be brought to a speedy issue is our fervent prayer. We are tired of remaining in this state of tormenting suspense. If a French king is to be sent amongst us, let him come at once, that the scene of war and bloodshed may be brought to a close—for there will be resistance. There are those who love liberty, and will not be slaves.

The circular letter from Mr. Jackson, places the matter of the late rupture between him and our government in a different point of view from that exhibited in the National Intelligencer. If Mr. Smith actually knew of Mr. Erskine's instructions, though it might be indecorous in Mr. Jackson to tell him so, yet it was certainly imprudent in him to deny it. Every thing which appears serves to cast light on this delicate subject. It is now very evident that there has been falsehood and deception some where. For the honor of the officers of our government we hope the imputation of bad faith will not rest on them; but we confess that this same circular letter makes things look squally.—Mr. Smith did, or did not know of Mr. Erskine's instructions. If he did know of them, what are we to think of the official note in the National Intelligencer? If he did not know of them how are we to account for the acknowledgement mentioned in the circular? These are serious questions.—We hope Mr. Smith is not divided against himself, for if he is he will be in danger of falling.
The following observations on the note which appeared in the National Intelligencer, announcing the rupture of negotiation between our government and Mr. Jackson, are copied from the Norfolk Ledger—we think they will be found worthy of perusal from the view they take of the subject.—ED. GAZ.
The preceding important article, although it does not come to us as official, we regard as substantially true, and so regarding it, we shall state the impression it has made upon our mind. We are pleased at two circumstances which this article discloses—first that the arrangement made by Mr. Erskine, was unauthorised by his government, and secondly that his powers or instructions were not previously communicated to our government. The two governments therefore have nothing upon this point to upbraid each with, although the conduct of the agents of the government is liable to much censure judging upon the subject as far as it is before the public. Mr. Erskine in making an arrangement for which he was not authorised, has committed an act for which no excuse can be made, and from which act it is impossible now to foresee all the mischief which will result.
The conduct of Mr. Jackson, our government has with equal dignity and prudence regarded as the intemperate conduct of an individual, and for which his government neither can nor ought to be responsible. It is possible, and probable that Mr. Jackson may have received information, that in the first instance induced him to think that our government was informed of the nature and extent of Mr. Erskine's instructions; but that being denied by our government, a reiteration of the charge afterwards, was contrary to the rules of common politeness, and, except in the instance of Genet's revolutionary diplomacy, without example.
It was impossible that the government of the United States could submit to have its veracity questioned upon such a delicate and important subject, in which the feelings and interests of this nation had been so strongly excited, and deeply concerned. There appeared no other course but that which has been pursued by Mr. Madison, and for which the example of gen. Washington in the case of Genet, furnished a precedent, worthy of imitation. Whatever may be our general opinion of the administration, we hope that it will resist the insults of foreign governments or its agents, with promptness and firmness. We see how the poor enslaved governments of the continent of Europe are humbled and insulted by the ministers of Napoleon, and wish to see nothing of that sort in our country; and here we are reminded of the insulting notes of Turreau respecting the St. Domingo trade, and the notes of Mr. Champagny to Mr. Armstrong, telling him that our nation ought to be at war. We repeat, that under the firmest belief that the administration was not apprised of the nature and extent of Mr. Erskine's instructions, we think that Mr. Jackson insulted the personal feelings of the members of the administration, and the character and dignity of the nation generally, by insisting upon the correctness
of information which had been solemnly denied.
The remarks which we have submitted, are founded upon a supposition that the circumstances stated are correctly stated, that nothing has been extenuated or ought set down in malice.
It does not appear liberal to censure a person who is absent, but from a variety of circumstances we are persuaded that Mr. Erskine has been, in a great degree, the means of the present rupture, as he was of the original misunderstanding. We have strong reasons to believe that he has said, or insinuated that he did communicate his instructions to our government, and we suppose that he has so informed Mr. Jackson. If Mr. Erskine has made such a communication to Mr. Jackson, the latter will not be justified in asserting it, after it was denied by our government. Mr. Erskine of all men on earth, is most interested in having it believed, that the government of the U. S. did know his instructions. In no other way can he excuse himself to his government, for the violation of his instructions, for it seems now agreed, "that the dispatch of Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the 23d of January, was the only dispatch by which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement, on the matter to which it related."
Our readers will do well to notice the latter part of the sentence which we have quoted, it clears up one point which was involved in much obscurity. It was always considered as extraordinary, that Mr. Canning's despatch of the 23d of January, took no notice of the affair of the Chesapeake, altho' the adjustment of that affair formed a prominent feature in the arrangement made with Mr. Erskine. We now perceive that with respect to the affair of the Chesapeake, Mr. Erskine had other instructions, and that the despatch of the 23d of January was the only one on the matter to which it related, that is to the modification of the commercial restrictions imposed by this country, and the revocation of the British orders in council.

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, OF THE Domestic Manufacture Company, of Alexandria.
WHEREAS many citizens of the town and neighborhood of Alexandria, are well disposed to aid and encourage the infant manufactures of our country, as well from the respects Foreign nations, as from a desire to render her more independent of their sup- cloathing, which habit has rendered, not merely comfortable, but of first necessity. But to do this, individual good will and offices fall far short of the desired object, and recourse must be had in this, as in several great designs, to form an effective aggregate of talents and pecuniary resources. For this purpose—We, the subscribers to the following Articles of Association, declare our object to be—to raise a fund, to make advances on deposits for sale, and for the purchase and sale of articles of domestic growth & manufacture, and such foreign materials as come within the description of Dye Stuffs, exclusively.—And hereby form ourselves into a company or limited partnership, and do mutually agree with each other, and hereby bind ourselves to conduct the business of the Company under the name and style of the "Domestic Manufacture Company of Alexandria," and conformably to the rules and regulations herein after specified.
Article 1. The capital stock of the Company shall consist of Twenty thousand dollars, to be divided into two thousand shares of ten dollars each, and to be paid in the manner following, that is to say, two dollars on each share to be paid at the time of subscribing, and one dollar on the first Tuesday of every month thereafter, for and during the space of eight months from the opening of the subscription; and a failure to make punctually any payment after the first, shall incur a forfeiture of all that shall have been previously paid on such share. But the capital stock of the company may be increased to any sum not exceeding Forty Thousand dollars, if the proprietors of two thirds of the capital stock of the Company, by their concurring votes at any annual meeting, give their assent thereto, and such increase of stock shall be made up by additional shares of ten dollars each, and payable in such installments and at such times as the Board of Directors shall appoint.
Article 2. As soon as the whole or one thousand shares of the said capital stock shall have been subscribed for, and the first payment made thereon, a meeting of the Stockholders shall be called by public notice in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers, to meet in the court-house of Alexandria either in person or by proxy duly authorised, at which meeting the stockholders, either personally or by proxy shall elect by ballot seven of their own body to act as directors of the said Company for one year, and at every succeeding election two of the Directors who have served the preceding year shall be ineligible; and should the whole seven having served the preceding year have the greatest number of votes, then the two lowest of the said seven shall be declared as not elected, and the two next highest on the list voted for, shall take their places, and if in any case the votes are equal, those to be appointed or rejected to be determined by lot; and such succeeding elections shall take place annually on the second Tuesday in February; but for the present year for the more immediate organization of the business of the Company, the election may be held on an earlier day under the direction of the commissioners appointed to receive subscriptions, and the number of votes to
which each stockholder shall be entitled, shall be in proportion to the stock he may hold as follows: For one share and not exceeding six shares, one vote each; for every two shares over six and not exceeding ten, one vote each; for every three shares over ten and not exceeding sixteen, one vote each; for every four shares over sixteen and not exceeding forty, one vote each; and for every ten shares over forty, one vote each; and no stockholder shall be permitted to vote (except at the first election) who has not held his stock for twenty days prior to the election, and in all elections after the first, the proxy shall be made in such form as the Board of Directors shall appoint.
Article 3. The affairs of the said company shall be carried on in the town of Alexandria, under the superintendence and control of the said Directors, of whom any four shall form a board or quorum, they shall choose a chairman from among themselves, and in case of vacancy by death, resignation or otherwise, such vacancy shall be immediately filled by themselves from among the stockholders. And the said Directors shall in no case whatever, contract debts or engagements, by bill, bond or otherwise, for, or on account of the Company, but that all dealings under their superintendence and control aforesaid, shall be for cash or barter, except goods on deposit, which may be sold by the direction of the consignor. The said Directors shall also exhibit at the annual meeting of stockholders, a statement of the affairs of the Company for the year preceding.
Article 4th. The Directors when elected shall proceed without delay to appoint an Agent and such other officers as may be requisite, all of whom shall hold their offices during the pleasure of the Board, and who shall, before they enter upon their functions, give bond with sufficient security to the said Directors and their successors in office for the faithful discharge of their duties, as prescribed by the Board of Directors.
Article 5th. It shall be the duty of the Agent, when so appointed, to have the charge of the cash, goods, deposits, books and papers of the Company, to make purchases, receive deposits, make advances of money, or exchange goods for deposits, make sales thereof, and to effect insurance on goods transported by sea, where the Company have an interest in the property under the rules prescribed by the Board of Directors.

And all suits to be brought against this Company (if any shall be) shall be brought against the Agent for the time being, and in case of his death or removal from office, pending any such suit against him, measures shall be taken, at the expence of the Company, for substituting his successor in office as a defendant, so that persons having demands upon the Company may not be prejudiced or delayed by that event, or if the person suing shall go on against the person first named as defendant (notwithstanding his death or removal from office) this Company shall take no advantage, by writ of error or otherwise, of such proceeding, on that account; and if recovery had, in manner aforesaid, shall be conclusive upon the company, so far as it

Article 14. Immediately on the dissolution of this Association, prompt and effectual measures shall be taken by the directors then existing, for converting into cash the stock on hand, closing all the concerns of the Company, and for dividing the capital and profits which may remain, among the stockholders, in proportion to their respective interests.

A TRACT OF LAND,
CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buttleloe Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winchester, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all incumbrance, including an excellent merchant, mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars.
