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

MANIFESTO.
VIENNA.
From the Imperial Press, 1809.
[CONCLUDED.]
The tempest, however, dispersed for a time. But not to suffer the moment to pass away without profiting from it, the French cabinet required the immediate and unconditional recognition of the French prince who had been nominated king of Spain, amid the most determined resistance of the Spanish nation. The price set upon this recognition was the removal of the French troops from the hitherto closely environed frontiers of Austria to a somewhat more remote, but not less dangerous time, that he was indebted to the altered position of the French troops, merely to the necessity of employing them on another theatre, and by no means from consideration for Austria. The unconditional recognition of the new king of Spain was, under these circumstances, no indispensable procedure; and since, moreover, the most weighty objections to this measure presented themselves on all sides, his majesty thought himself justified in not carrying it into effect. But even in the negotiations on this proposal, his majesty evinced, with a clearness which could not be mistaken, his invariable desire to avoid whatever could give the French government just reason for dissatisfaction.
The residence of the emperor Napoleon in Erfurth cast a new and no very joyous light over the real state of things. What was mentioned there, what was required from him, and the most vehement threats, was to be considered as nothing but a commentary upon the declaration of the 30th of July. Far from relinquishing either the substance or the form of that declaration, the emperor Napoleon, on the contrary, boasted, that, as a proof of extraordinary forbearance, and at the same time as an especial complaisance to the friendly mediation of an independent sovereign, "he has hitherto spared Austria!"
The campaign in Spain, led to a pause of some moments; but no sooner did the emperor Napoleon believe, that to a certain degree he had assured himself of the conquest of that unhappy country, than the storm burst forth against Austria with renewed violence. It was from the interior of Spain that the first command issued for the armament of Germany. The emperor's return to Paris was the signal for the most detestable lampoons, in which the pretended designs the past calamities, the present external and internal condition, and even the most illustrious persons of the Austrian house, were treated at one time with derision, and at another time with bitterness; and no means were left unemployed to alienate the esteem and confidence of the people from the sovereign, his servants and system of government. Chance alone could not have caused these articles to appear in every public paper simultaneously. It was impossible to mistake their origin. At the same time, the German princes under the influence of France were occupied in putting their collective military power into a state of preparation. All the French troops which remained in Germany and Italy assembled at several principal points; and it was no further to be doubted that the long determined attack upon Austria was delayed only till the arrival of fresh reinforcements; & when possibly the threatening preparations made might have a disheartening influence upon the councils of the Austrian cabinet.
His imperial majesty had labored with sincere desire and indefatigable perseverance for the maintenance of peace. He had during three long years, submitted to many severe and unjust demands of the French cabinet, without giving utterance to a single complaint. He had brought a long series of costly sacrifices to his longing wishes for repose. He had even at different times indulged the idea of forming, by means of new treaties, more definite relations with France; an idea which, in fact, could never be realised, because his majesty sought for nothing by it but pledges for the permanence of repose, and security for himself and his neighbors; that is, he sought such conditions as the French cabinet must necessarily oppose, and not accede to in the pursuit of projects of a totally different character. When, finally, every thing was thought to be exhausted which had been
imagined, in order to put the amicable sentiments of Austria to the severest proofs, the French government, nevertheless, succeeded in driving his imperial majesty to resistance, by insisting that he should desist from those measures which were an essential part of the defence of the country. To purchase peace at this price was impossible. The monarchy was from that moment annihilated, when they on whom was imposed the care for its preservation were ready with their own hands to destroy the last bulwark of their existence.
The emperor could not have deceived himself concerning the import of his desire, nor would he have ever formed such a pretension, if that which could not but necessarily follow it, had not already constituted a part of his plans. Whatever may be done, either now or hereafter, to conceal the point of view from which the present relations must be judged, there will always remain but one single charge against which Austria has nothing to say. To lay claim to independent existence at a crisis when one state after another was losing its ancient constitution and independence—this alone was Austria's offence. The often repeated expressions of the emperor Napoleon, that he has nothing to require of Austria, could have no other import than this—that Austria should felicitate herself on the integrity of her empire (for the moment at least, and till further arrangements) but stripped of all the attributes which could impart to her firmness and worth, without enjoying any security for the future; without the political influence which is inseparable from the existence of a great state, or claiming a voice in the common concerns of Europe. If this intimation that France required nothing of Austria, were not sufficiently refuted by a long series of facts, but principally by the insolent pretension to condemn as unwarrantable, measures of mere territorial defence, it would still, in the form in which it stands, characterise more distinctly than the ablest description, the state of the monarchy till then, and the condition of Europe.
His majesty has recourse to arms, because the duty of self-preservation does not permit him to comply with the condition on which alone the French cabinet grants the continuance of peace; viz. To yield up the means of a just defence; because he dares no longer delay the protection of countries and nations, which God has entrusted to him, against an invasion long planned, more than once clearly announced, and now ripe for execution; because he is sufficiently acquainted with the thoughts and wishes of his people to know that there is not one among them who would not prefer the utmost exertions in their power to an ignoble self-annihilation by voluntary subjection.
His majesty has embraced this resolution with a feeling which must inspire himself and every just defender of his cause with confidence; for not only is the step which his majesty has been impelled at length to take, the most just in itself, but his majesty rejoices in the consolatory and inestimable assurance that the whole world acknowledges it to be so. The emperor's just principles—his detestation of unnecessary wars—his long, but ineffectual efforts to avoid the conflict which has now burst forth, are so notorious; the designs of the enemy are so little concealed; and the motives which have called for this final resolution are so decisive that truth and justice must be banished from the earth, if all free judgments were not unanimous concerning the origin of this war.
The immediate object of his majesty is to put an end to that unnatural and ambiguous state in which Austria during three years have vacillated; a state which under the vain denomination of peace, has involved it in all the sacrifices, burthens and dangers of the most oppressive war; and to place the country in a situation which may secure it the honorable repose of a real peace. But such a situation cannot subsist while foreign armies, it matters not under what pretence, are allowed to hold the monarchy in a state of perpetual siege; it cannot subsist while the political and military relations of the states which surround Austria, are of such a quality, that it needs only a single order, a hint from a foreign country, to spread over the whole Austrian frontier the apprehension of hostile incursion; and while seriously intended, or merely illusive movements, or only the threatening proximity of a numerous army, ready to strike compel the adoption of extraordinary means of defence, and costly armaments.
The security of the Austrian monarchy cannot, therefore, be sought in an insulated state. It cannot be conceived as separate from the state of adjoining countries, and from the condition and constitution of the called system of European state policy. Austria can find a perfect guarantee of her independence, only in that degree of independence in the powers which surround her, which the claim of universal dominion,
from whatever quarter it proceeds, would render it impossible. Austria cannot and ought not to look with careless indifference upon the state of those powers, more especially Germany and Italy. Her interest is too closely, too indissolubly interwoven with the interest of those countries. The central position of her monarchy causes her to come too frequently in contact with those states; and the station she has held for centuries, and the share she has taken in all great European concerns, has connected her too intimately with the whole body politic, to permit her, without sustaining a mortal wound, to be torn from it.
His imperial majesty's wishes and sentiments are in perfect harmony with the unalterably prescribed interests of his dominions. Next to the duty of providing for the welfare of his subjects and the support of his throne, his majesty will at all times consider those as the most sacred which spring from a sincere regard for the repose, felicity, prosperity, and lawful freedom of his neighbours. The emperor will never deem himself authorised to interfere with the internal relations of foreign states, or to assume to be the judge of their system of government, or their development of their power. He demands a just reciprocity. Far removed from ambition or jealousy, the emperor will envy no other sovereign his power, his fame, or his just influence; it is only in the exclusive claim to these prerogatives that lies the object of general apprehension, and the root of everlasting wars. It is not France which has generated the present conflict, in the prosperity and maintenance of which his majesty will always feel an interest, but the progressive extension of a system, which under the indefinite title of a French empire, allows Europe to enjoy no other than its law. That conflict will cease, and all the wishes of his majesty be fulfilled, when the reign of moderation, forbearance, the reciprocal independence of every state, respect for the rights of each, the inviolability of treaties, and the preponderance of pacific councils shall assume the place of an arrogant system of sole and exclusive dominion.
By what means, and to what extent these just wishes may be realized, his majesty leaves in the hand of providence. Only thus much he ventures confidently to promise, that even for his own supreme interests, for the undiminished preservation of his monarchy, he will never adopt or require measures which can encroach on the well acquired rights, independence and security of other states, and that if the success of his arms should correspond with the justice of his views, the same results of the war from which Austria expects an adequate guarantee of her independence and her future repose, will at the same time be in perfect harmony with the true interests of her neighbors, and the common welfare of Europe.

Letter from his majesty the emperor of Austria, to his majesty the emperor of the French.
Presburg, Sept. 18, 1808.
SIR, MY BROTHER,
My ambassador at Paris informs me, that your imperial majesty is about to depart for Erfurth, there to meet the emperor Alexander. I seize with promptitude the opportunity, which your approach to my frontiers offers, to renew to you the assurances of the friendship and high esteem which I have vowed for you, and I send my lieutenant general, baron Vincent, to be the bearer of the invariable sentiments which I have thus expressed. I flatter myself that your majesty has never ceased to be convinced of this, and that, if the false interpretations which have been given to the interior institutions organized in my monarchy, have for a moment created any doubts of my perseverance in my intentions, the explanations presented by the count de Metternich, on the subject, will have entirely removed them. The baron de Vincent is also instructed to confirm this to your majesty in detail, and to add all the explanation that can be desired. I pray you to shew him the same kindness, as that with which you had the goodness to receive him at Paris and at Warsaw. The new marks of favor that you may shew him, will give me an unequivocal proof of the entire reciprocity of those sentiments, and will confirm that entire confidence, which has left no effort untried to give mutual satisfaction.
Have the goodness to accept the assurance of the unalterable attachment and high consideration, with which I am, sir,
my brother and friend of your imperial majesty.
Signed,
FRANCIS

Letter from his majesty the emperor Napoleon, to the kings of Bavaria, Saxony, Westphalia, and Wirttemberg, the grand duke of Baden, and prince primate.
SIR, MY BROTHER.
Assurances have been given by the court of Vienna, that the militia should be disbanded which were lately raised, and that no other armament should take place calculated to disturb the repose or excite the apprehensions of the Rhenish confederation. The subjoined letter, which I have received from the emperor of Austria, the reiterated assurances given by the baron de Vincent, and, above all, the commencement of the fulfilment of those promises, which has been already witnessed, induce me to inform your majesty, that I believe the tranquility of the confederation is not in any way threatened, and that your majesty may break up your camps and order the troops into quarters, in the manner that has heretofore been followed. I think it is advisable that the ministers at Vienna should be instructed to hold this language; that the camps will be re-organized, and the troops of the confederation and its protector will be placed in a hostile attitude, whenever Austria shall make extraordinary or unusual armaments and, in fine, that we desire tranquility as safety.

Letter from his majesty the emperor Napoleon, to his majesty the emperor of Austria.
Erfurt, October 14, 1808.
SIR, MY BROTHER,
I thank your imperial and royal majesty for the letter, which you had the goodness to send me, and M. the baron de Vincent has delivered. I have never doubted the good intentions of your majesty; but nevertheless feared at one moment, that hostilities were about to be renewed between us.
There is at Vienna a faction, which affects purity and good intentions, the readier to precipitate your majesty into such violent measures, as would produce misfortunes much greater than those which have heretofore been experienced. It was in my power to dismember the monarchy of your majesty, or at least to render it less powerful—I did not wish to do so, Austria is—I wished it to be. That was the best proof that all accounts between us were closed, and that I desired nothing from her.
I have been always ready to guarantee the integrity of your monarchy. I have never done any thing prejudicial to the primary interests of your state. But your majesty should not now introduce for discussion that which a war for fifteen years has already determined. You should interdict any measures likely to produce war—the latter levy en masse would have produced a war if I had the least apprehensions, that the levy, and those preparations were in combination with Russia.
I have disbanded the troops of the confederation of the Rhine: One hundred thousand of my troops are preparing to march to Boulogne, to renew my purposes upon England. I pray your majesty to abstain from all armaments, that can give uneasiness, or that should create a diversion in favor of England.
I hoped, when I had the honor to see your majesty, and when the treaty of Presburg was concluded, that our differences were finally adjusted, and that I might thus without hazard or mistrust turn the whole of my attention to a maritime war. What does your majesty associate with those whom in telling you of the dangers of your monarchy, assist your own honor, as well as that of your family and people. Such men alone are dangerous to you—these only speak of danger who feign to apprehend it.
By a conduct honest, frank and open, your majesty will render your people happy—you will yourself enjoy the comfort you must stand in need of after so many troubles—and you will be sure to find in me a man determined never to do any thing contrary to your ordinary interests. Let your actions shew a confidence, and they will inspire it. In our days, the best policy is honesty and truth. Tell me your complaints, and if I have power to influence their causes, I will remove them. Let your ministry attend to my words: reflect upon my opinion and sentiments, they are much superior to those of your counsellors.
I pray your majesty to read my letter in the disposition with which it is written, and that you will see nothing in it that has not for its object the peace and welfare of Europe and of your majesty.

Marshall duke of Dantzig, arrived here the 25th from Innsbruck. Lt. gen. baron Werder, arrived the next day with his di- vision. In consequence of the insurrection in the Tyrol having been quelled, he is marching to Austria, where the division of the prince-royal has already preceded him.
PARIS, June 13.
They write from Vienna that the garri- son of that city is very numerous. The French troops in the environs have taken positions which they expect every moment to quit in order to repair to such places as are already fixed upon. These positions ex- tend from Hamburg, four leagues west of Hamburg, to Brugg on the Leitha, Getzen- dorf, Wien-radorf, Lexenbourg, Gun- tramsdorf, Baden; and from thence by Traismauer, Burkendorf, towards Clos- neuberg and Zismail. It is said that a great number of troops have lately collected at Tulln; perhaps it is intended to cross the Danube on that point.
The divisions forming the corps of the army of the duke of Rivoli (Massena) con- tinue to occupy the two islands in the Da- nube between Ebersdorff and Embersdorff. We expect every day to hear of this river being crossed anew.

The commander of an English frigate on the 15th May, summoned the commandant of Rovi (kingdom of Naples) to deliver him the merchant vessels (barques) which he retained were in the road 4 or 8000 dol- lars in specie. Upon the refusal of the commandant and of the magistrates the ene- my's frigate began a cannonading and land- ed some troops, which were immediately were immediately repulsed; but the town has suffered much. The barques have been saved.

[MR. ERSKINE'S DEFENCE, as supposed]
From the United States' Gazette, of July 26. We insert the following communication at the request of a friend, without vouching for the correctness of the opinions express- ed in it. When we come to see Mr. Erskine's instructions in full, a more cor- rect opinion may be formed as to the mer- its of the question.
To the Editor of the U. S. Gazette.
SIR, In examining the instructions of Mr. Can- ning to the British minister in this country, so far as they are given to us, I am led to make the following remarks.
It appears that Mr. Erskine had stated to his government his belief that the persons composing our present administration were really desirous to effect an amicable accom- modation with Great Britain. In a dispatch of the 23d of January, Mr. Canning informs Mr. Erskine, that if it really be the case that the members of the American govern- ment have such disposition, his majesty's ministers will be ready to withdraw the ex- ceptionable orders in council, so far as re- pects America, on certain conditions. — Let us fairly examine these conditions in or- der to see whether Mr. Erskine has, or has not, pursued his instructions, in such re- spects as they may be consistent with the rules of common sense, and with the na- ture of our constitution.
1st condition — "That America shall withdraw her interdictions, embargo, &c. so far as they relate to the ships of war and trade of Great Britain, leaving them in force as to France, and the powers who ad- opt her decrees." With this condition there has been full compliance, so far as there was authority vested in the executive, ex- cept in regard to Holland. At the period of the negotiation, Holland had, by pro- clamation, excluded her subjects from all neutral trade: it would therefore have been
absurd to have suffered an ideal point to operate as a bar to the arrangement, more especially as that arrangement was to be re- garded merely as the prelude to a treaty.
2d condition — "That America is willing to renounce, during the present war, the pretensions of carrying on, in time of war, all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she was excluded during peace." — This condition is palpably a subject for trea- ty. However the president may be dis- posed to accede to it, he has no power to make any engagement to bind his govern- ment. This condition, also, as to its im- mediate operation, is a mere shadow, under the interdiction of our trade with France, previously stipulated for.
3d. "Great Britain, for the purpose of securing the operation of the embargo, and of the bona fide intention of America to prevent her citizens from trading with France, and the powers acting under her decrees, is to be considered as being at li- berty to capture all such American vessels as may be found attempting to trade with the ports of any of those powers," &c. &c.
The condition is puerile and useless. — The complaint would be made by a person acting in violation of the laws of the coun- try; and the acknowledgment of the fact would oblige our government to sue on the forfeited bonds.
"On the receipt of an official note, en- gaging to adopt these conditions, his ma- jesty would be ready to repeal the orders in council," &c. &c. Had the British minis- try been acquainted with our constitution, or had they really been desirous of an am- icable adjustment, they would have been sa- tisfied with such engagements as the presi- dent is authorised to make: such engage- ments he has given, and any other assump- tion on his part would but have entitled him to a share of the blame and ridicule which must attach to Mr. Canning.
It may fairly be presumed that Mr. Ers- kine communicated his orders, "in exten- so," to Mr. Smith. And he no doubt re- ceived from our administration a repeti- tion of those assurances, which, it appears, he had heretofore made known to his go- vernment, and on which Mr. Canning's in- structions are stated to be founded. When- ever Mr. Canning shall venture to give Mr. Erskine's explanations to the public, we shall find, no doubt, that those assurances have been repeated to him: assurances which, whether verbal or written, are mere- ly to be considered as the opinions of influ- ential characters, and in no way binding on our government, but which, from their na- ture, ought not to be committed to paper.
The sole error of Mr. Erskine appears to have arisen from his belief that his superi- ors were really anxious to effect an adjust- ment of our differences: and under that im- pression, he would naturally feel safe in hav- ing executed his instructions, so far as from their crudeness and absurdity was practica- ble: in refusing to fulfil the arrangement, the British ministry have afforded an unde- niable proof of their unfriendly dispositions towards us, and they will doubtless find it an easier task to have excited than to tran- quilize the spirit of the American people.
A Lover of his country.
MONITORY.
Happy is that man who is free from envy, who wishes and rejoices in his neighbors prosperity, being content with his own con- dition, and delighted at the good fortune of those around him; his eyes moisten at the tale of sorrow, his sympathetic breast beats in unison with the sufferer, and from his lit- tle store bestows a generous mite to the chil- dren of poverty. Enjoyment attend him though the various walks of life, and the ills of misfortune rest lightly on his head; the morsel which he eats is sweet and nourish- ing; the water which he drinks is cool and refreshing; and the straw which supports his weary limbs, soothes him in soft forget- fulness. When he visits his neighbor in trou- ble, such benignity appears in his countenance that the eye of sorrow wears a smile, and the distressed breath ceases to heave a sigh; Like a minister of grace he is received a- mong them, and his words prove the oil of consolation. How large and how extensive must be his felicity! Surely he above the rest of his fellow mortals, partakes of hea- ven here below, of bliss which none but the virtuous ever claim.

JUST RECEIVED, For sale ONLY by JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King-street, The following highly valuable Medi- cines, Price 3 dollars per bottle. Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated through- out Great-Britain and the continent of Eu- rope, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmi- ties of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of con- sumptions, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (con- sumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the conse- quences of youthful excess, will find them- selves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Eu- rope, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, con- sumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently dis- tinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or ac- quire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is pant whose rare and precious salutary virtue- were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which as known at this time by their descendants and used and experienced as the most sove- reign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This ce- lebrated restorative plant has also been high- ly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and consider- ed by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most en- livening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO, Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu- matic Drops (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laced remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descripti- on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad- ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.— Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their peri- lous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescrip- tions have been published to cure the disor- ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT, which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose un- bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con- sequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Ma- cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton- Ample certificates and affidavits of the be- neficial effects of those medicines may be seen by applying as above. March 11

WM. C. NEWTON. DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, than fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rub- bing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c.

RICHARD H. In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our mod- ern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.

A TRACT OF LAND, CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffa- loe Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winches- ter, 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 mer- chant, mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally roll- ing, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone. It will be laid off to suit pur- chasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland, containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country.— It will however be laid off to suit purchasers. The above lands are held by deeds of pur- chase duly recorded in the general court.
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, ad- joining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq. of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest ten- anted at will.

Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the wa- ters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benja- min Harrison, jun. esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality. It is held under the original paten- tee by deeds duly recorded in the general court.
Five full & complete Shares in the Dismal Swamp Company.

The titles are all undoubted, and the terms proposed are, one fourth in cash at the time of conveyance, the balance in three instalments the last two to be on interest from the date. Any species of the public stock and of the different Banks in the United States of Insurance Companies—of the Potomac Bridge and Turnpike Compa- nies will be received in payment according to their fair value. Ground rents in the city of Richmond and town of Alexandria, or Houses and Lots, will likewise be received in payment according to such rates as may be agreed upon.

Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, in Prince George's county, Maryland, near the Woodyard, about the first of Sep- tember last, a Negro Man, named GUY, about thirty years of age, about six feet tolerable well made, is very black, his bones are tolerable high, speaks quick- ly, has no mark as I know of by which he can be more particularly described. It is needless to give a description of his charac- ter as what few he took with him must be out. I have been informed he has frequently been seen in Alexandria in the course of winter and spring, and passed by the name of BUTLER, as a free man. It has since been reported he is dead, but I doubt it, as I do not find from whence the report origi- nated.
