GIBBON'S HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE:
Together with MEMOIRS of the LIFE and WRITINGS of the AUTHOR. No book could be offered, which stands in less need of encomium and recommendation. It has been read in almost every European language. The history of the long and interesting period from the reign of Augustus to the taking of Constantinople, and the death of Mahomet the II. is no where else to be found in the shape of regular and well-arranged history. The Publishers presume to hope, that they do a service to their country in giving an Edition of it from the American press. They will briefly speak of their intentions, and the superiority of this edition.
1. It will be the most complete Edition of Gibbon extant.—Because it will be enriched with the Memoirs of his Life and Writings, written by himself.—This will be an addition to the London copy of nearly 200 pages. 2. It will be about one-third cheaper than the London Copy. 3. It will be executed in the best stile.—The Publishers, with confidence, recommend to the public an inspection of the books, published by them within the last three years.—They are, Russell's Ancient and Modern Europe, 7 Volumes—The Domestic Encyclopedia, 5 Volumes, and Tucker's Blackstone, 5 Volumes.—They promise not to degenerate.
CONDITIONS. 1. It shall be printed from the last London edition, and be published in Eight Octavo Volumes, during the year 1804. 2. It shall be delivered to those Subscribers who take it in Volumes, at Two Dollars per Volume, in boards. 3.

Infallible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, Remittant and Intermit-tant Fevers.
THOUSANDS can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine have proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low, marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail; which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, and bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other Medicines are daily offered for the cure of this disorder, which upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of; but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loth, for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy. Extract of a letter from Dr. C. Soper.
Kent Co. Delaware. I have given the Ague Drops to a number of patients this fall, and with constant success; in some obstinate cases they acted like a charm—the disease yielding in a day or two to this remedy, after resisting the barks for months, though they had been thrown in the largest doses.
From Dr. J. Spangler, York Town, Pennsylvania. I can at any moment, if you think proper to advertise them, procure the certificates of very respectable persons in this place and its vicinity, of the efficacy of the Ague Drops and Worm Lozenges, the latter very effectual as a vermifuge, and successfully used in diarrhoea and dysentery, complaints which have been very prevalent here.
From Mr. Gideon White, Annapolis. I have sold many of the Ague and Fever Drops to people in the country, and have not known any to fail curing. The Lozenges have sold very well lately. I hear of several cures such as bringing worms from children, and doing much good to persons of a bilious habit.
From Mr. Rob. Mercer, printer Fredericksburg. The Ague Drops have cured in every case I have heard of, and increases in demand, as the ague and fever prevail very much here every fall. Some interested doctors have done all in their power to depreciate their value, pretending they do not a mite; but the people will not easily believe what so obviously contradicts their senses. I know young children who have taken it, and no other effect was perceived but the ceasing of the disorder.
I certify, that my wife was a short time since attacked by the ague and fever, and on being informed of the cures performed by the ague drops, sold by Mr. Dawson, I purchased from him a bottle, by the use of which, she soon recovered. I also affirm, that they operated mildly and produced no disagreeable symptoms. R. LEWIS.
Sir... I have made use of your ague drops; they have operated mildly; and according to my wishes, have performed a cure on me, without producing any inconvenience. I think them a safe and excellent medicine, and would have recourse to them again as a cure for the ague in preference to any other medicine. I am fir with gratitude, your obedient servant. JOHN RUSSEL.
These drops are sold at S. Pleasants' Book Store, Richmond.

THE DEFENCE.
No. VIII.
IN this view of the financial operations of the government, it may be proper concisely to notice a topic brought up from time to time to suit party purposes. About the close of the year 1802 the Commissioners of the sinking fund made a contract with Mr. Baring, whereby they sold him 2,270 shares of bank stock, for an advance of 45 per cent. making 1,287,600 dollars, on the condition that he should pay an equivalent sum of the foreign debt due by the United States at the exchange of 41 cents the guilder. At the close of the ensuing session, within two days of its termination, Mr. Bayard brought forward a motion of enquiry, on the ground that the Commissioners had no legal authority to sell the bank shares, and that if they had the power, they had sacrificed the interest of the United States by the low price at which they had been sold. We shall pass over the disingenuous manner in which this enquiry was urged, with the single remark, that no other motive but the desire to wound the administration in the tenderest point, without giving them an opportunity to justify their conduct, could have produced the motion at the time it was submitted. Fortunately, however, the friends of the administration manifested on this occasion, a vigilance and knowledge that confounded their enemies.
In this discussion it was contended that the Commissioners had no legal authority to sell the bank shares. In answer to this declaration, reference was had to the act of Congress of 1796 in relation to the payment of the public debt. That act authorises the commissioners of the sinking fund to borrow five millions, for the purpose of paying such debts to the bank of the United States, to the bank of New York and such instalments of the foreign debt as were then due or should become due in the course of the year 1796. The law provided that this authority might be exercised in three different ways; the two first authorised the loaning the money from individuals, and the third authorised the Commissioners, if they deemed it most advantageous, to sell such, and so many of the shares in the bank of the United States, as they might think proper, for the above purpose. Of the sum due to the bank of the United States in the year 1796, it was shown that 2,740,000 dollars remained due on the 1st of January 1802. For the purpose of in part paying this debt, the Commissioners sold the bank shares. The power given in 1796 to sell the bank shares being unlimited in point of time, and the objects to which only it was limited remaining in existence, it appeared as clear as day light that the authority was legal. Such, moreover, appeared to have been the contemplation of the legislature in the antecedent year (1802) who had passed a law providing for the discharge of the public debt, in which it is provided that the power given to reloan certain instalments of the Dutch debt "shall not be construed to repeal, diminish, or affect the power given to the commissioners by an act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States (the very act in question passed in 1796) to borrow certain sums of money, and to sell the shares in the bank of the United States, belonging to the United States, in the manner, on the terms, and for the purposes provided by the said act."
To prove that the interest of the United States was not sacrificed by the sale, but that on the contrary, it was eminently promoted by it, we shall extract from Mr. Nicholson's speech the following statements, which, it is conceived, will be satisfactory to every unprejudiced mind.
"The 2,220 shares sold at 45 per cent. advance, or for 580 dollars each, and produced the sum of 1,287,600 dollars. By selling to Baring, the commissioners of the sinking fund were enabled to make an advantageous contract with him for the payment of the debt in Holland. The bank of the United States had refused to contract to make the remittance; the Manhattan bank in New York offered to contract, but the lowest rate offered was at 43 cents the guilder. Mr. Baring offered to contract at forty one cents the guilder, provided the commissioners would sell him their shares in the bank of the United States. This proposition they acceded to, and sold the 2,220 shares for Dollars 1,287,600 Gained on the purchase of bills of exchange for 3,140,487 guilders at 41 cents each instead of 43 cents; the difference 2 cents per guilder, equal to 62,809, 62,809 1,350,409
This sum makes the real proceeds of the bank shares, and shews the true amount received by the United States for them, 1,350,409
But the gentleman from Delaware says the sale might have been made at 50 per cent. advance, and we might likewise have received a half yearly dividend; and this he thinks would have been a better bargain. Let this be tried.
Suppose the 2,220 shares sold at 50 per cent. advance or for 600 dollars each. 1,332,000
Add the half yearly dividend at 4 per cent. which it is said we might have received likewise, besides getting the 50 per cent. advance, the dividend of 4 per cent. or 16 dolls. per share equal to 35,596
This would have given us for our shares the sum of, 1,367,596
In this case, however, we should have been obliged to pay at the rate of forty-three cents the guilder, instead of 41 cents and the difference of 2 cents per guilder on 3,140,487 guilders would have been against us, instead of in our favor. This therefore is to be deducted, and is equal to 62,809 dollars, 62,809
Making the true proceeds of our shares agreeably to this operation only, dolls. 1,304,711, or 45,698 dollars less than the commissioners of the sinking fund actually received.
But the gentleman from Delaware supposes we might have retained our bank shares, and might have advanced money from the treasury to buy the bills on Holland; in which case, if we had kept them another year, we might then have sold them at 50 per cent. advance, and should have received two half yearly dividends upon them, equal to 8 per cent. or thirty two dollars the share. If this calculation is made, it will be found that we have still made money by the contract.
Suppose the 2,220 shares sold at 50 per cent. advance, they would have yielded as before stated, 1,332,000
Add the two half yearly dividends at 4 per cent. each, or 32 dollars for each share, 71,040
This then would have been the amount received by the United States, 1,403,040
We must however have given 43 cents the guilder for 3,140,487 guilders instead of 41 cents, which the purchase was made from Mr. Baring at; or 62,809 dollars more, which must therefore be deducted, and is, 62,809
And it shews that we should only, in that case have received for our 2,220 shares the sum of, 1,340,231
Or 10,178 dollars less than the commissioners received; and if this sum of 10,178 dollars be added to the sum in credit, which we must have paid to the bank for the amount of debts paid by the proceeds of the shares, which interest calculated at 6 per cent. on 1,287,000 dollars, is equal to 77,220 Dollars, 77,220
To which add the former sum of 10,178
And it shews that we should have lost by this operation the sum of 87,298
Thus, in every point of view, it appears that the sale made by the commissioners was highly advantageous." CURTIUS.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 14.
Greenock papers of the 21st of August containing London dates of the 13th and 17th of that month, are received at the office of the New-York Gazette. These papers came by the ship Factor , capt. Caldwell, arrived yesterday, and contain the following articles:
GREENOCK, August 21. —Since our last, very little has occurred of material importance. INVASION continues to be the order of the day on both sides of the Channel.—The Emperor is embarking and disembarking on the one side; whilst our illustrious Commander in Chief is equally busy, in reviewing and setting in array, on the other.
It appears that the fleet under Lord Nelson has been annoying the enemy near Marseilles. The attempt made by them, in their accounts, to disguise the fact, only tends to confirm it. He has also taken possession of the largest of the Hierres Islands to the south of Toulon, with 1800 men, and 13 pieces of cannon, and established there an hospital for 600 sick sailors. The fleet of Admiral Nelson off Toulon, consists of 27 sail.
By the last Hamburg Mail the following statement has been received of the force of the Russian Imperial Army:—Exclusive of 12,770 invalids, it consists in the whole of 493,359 men, amongst which 42,919 are artillerymen; 70,884 soldiers in garrison; 219,125 field infantry; 49,738 cavalry; 2,303 foot guards, and 3,316 horse guards.
LONDON, August 16—17. —Dispatches have been received at the admiralty from Lord Nelson, and a number of private letters are in town down to the 1st July, which state, that the French fleet are apparently ready for sea.
Dispatches were on Wednesday received at the Admiralty from Sir James Saumarez, at Jersey, which state, that an expectation was daily entertained of an attack from the enemy, several movements having of late been observed to have taken place. Dispatches were also received from Admiral Thornborough, dated off the Texel, the 11th inst. The enemy remained nearly in the same position as they did when the previous accounts were transmitted.
Dispatches were on Wednesday received from the Brest squadron. The enemy, we learn, are still in the outer harbour, watching an opportunity to escape, which, if the elements do not interfere, we trust that the vigilance and seamanship of our squadron will never afford.
Some of our cruizers off the coast of Holland and Flanders last week looked into the Roads of Flushing and Ostend. In the former were thirty-four vessels of different descriptions; and in the latter fifty-six were counted, mostly gun-boats and cutters, as all the transports had been removed into the canal coming from Bruges, and their number could not therefore be ascertained. Information has been received, that forty-four more gun-boats and flat-bottomed boats, built upon the banks of the Moselle, had descended the Rhine, and were in the waters of Holland, and would probably in a week arrive at Flushing, to be fitted out there.—An aide-de-camp of Admiral Verhuel had brought orders from Gen. Moiney, commander of the French troops in Zealand, to hasten the departure of all armed vessels, through the interior canals of Flanders.—All neutral vessels from the Dutch harbors report, that the common opinion in Holland is that Bonaparte intends to have the expedition undertaken soon; but at the same time, that his officers and men are no more so sanguine in their expectations of an easy conquest of this country, or speak with the same contempt of the nation of shipkeepers as they did last year. Some superior officers, who have dared to remonstrate against a landing of an army embarked in gun-boats unprotected by men of war, have been broken by Bonaparte.
The Bengal fleet, consisting of 7 ships, and estimated at 2,000,000, is expected to arrive before the 1st of next month, and no apprehensions are now entertained for their safety.
The Marquis Wellesley has transmitted a notification of his design to quit Bengal early in the ensuing season.
The Court of Directors of the East India House have voted the following sums to the Captains, officers, and seamen of the China fleet, for their gallant conduct in beating off the French squadron under Admiral Linois:
  Capt. Dance 2000 guineas, & a piece of plate valued at 200 guineas.   Timens 1000 do 100 do   Moffatt 500 do 100 do   Henry Wilson 500 do 50 do   Parquharson 500 do 50 do   Tarin 500 do 50 do   Clarke 500 do 50 do   Menton 500 do 50 do   Wordsworth 500 do 50 do   Kirkpatrick 500 do 50 do   Hamilton 500 do 50 do   Farrer 500 do 50 do   Pundergrass 500 do 50 do   Brown 500 do 50 do   Larkin 500 do 50 do   Lockner 500 do 50 do   Chief officers 150 Surgeons mates 50   Second do 125 Boatswains 50   Third do 80 Gunners 50   Fourth do 80 Carpenters 50   Fifth do 50 Midshipmen 50   Sixth do 50 other petty officers 15   Seamen 80 Seamen, ordinary 50   Sergt. & Co. 50 men, & servants 6 
Lieutenant Fowler, passenger on board the Campden Captain Dance, for the services he rendered, 300 guineas for a piece of plate.
The value of the fleet thus saved, on an estimate thus made by the Super-cargoes, including the private as well as in the public investments, appear to be above 8,000,000 sterling.
The Court in addition to the above bounty to the officers and crews, have resolved, that the usual gratuity of 30 l. and a pension from the Poplar Fund, shall be granted to the nearest relative of the seamen who fell in the action with Linois.
Wednesday night, Moniteurs to the 5th inst. but they bring very little intelligence. Bonaparte continued on the coast as late as the 1st inst. reviewing the troops destined for the invasion of this country: he was at Ambleteuse on that day.
It is stated in the Moniteur of the 4th, that Ibrahim Bey, at the head of the Mamelukes, had made himself master of Boulogne and Old Cairo.
Private letters have been received by the Hamburg Mail, which state, that the French, having failed in their attempts to raise a Loan in Bremen, had actually blockaded that City, and had threatened, if the money was not immediately advanced, to raise it by Military execution.
It has been the invariable practice of the French since the revolution, to maintain their armies at the expense of other states, and the different governments of France have, when plunder was to be obtained, made very little difference between enemies, neutrals or allies.
Application has also been made to the city of Lubeck for a loan, which has been refused. These outrages of the French must accelerate that confederacy of the Northern Powers of which Bonaparte seems to feel such an apprehension; and the circumstances of Louis XVIII, having left Warsaw leads us to suppose that the Emperor of Russia will very soon take a decided part against France.
Accounts from Genoa state, that Admiral Nelson has captured and burnt five Genoese merchant ships near Marseilles; and that the largest of the Hierres Islands, to the south of Toulon, has been taken. The English have established an hospital there for sick sailors.
The king of Sweden is arrived from Piltz.
Bonaparte is expected at Antwerp. His Majesty sets out for Weymouth in a few days, at which place he will be attended by the yachts now on the river, and by a frigate or two.
BOSTON, October 11.
TREMENDOUS STORM.
On Tuesday morning last, a most violent storm commenced in this place, and continued its destructive career, until about 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The wind blew at first from SSE. then shifted to E. increasing its power until about 3 o'clock, when it abated for a few moments, and then veered to NE. From this quarter, the gale blew with a violence and fury unprecedented in the annals of this town. The damage which has been sustained by this tremendous hurricane, cannot at present be estimated; but is very great and extensive. We have taken some pains to collect the particulars, and submit the following as a statement which though it may not embrace every item, is not deficient in any essential point.
From Charlestown bridge, to North Battery wharf, no essential damage done, except the blowing down of Messrs. Revere's furnace, and the loss of several pleasure boats and other small craft, lumber, &c.
At North Battery wharf, the brig Aurora , was considerably injured; and some small craft bilged or sunk.
At Mary's wharf, the ship Franklin , belonging to Mr. Soobis, lost her main-topmast, and is otherwise damaged; the sloop Polly , belonging to John Waite, with lumber, drifted against the wharf, bilged and sunk. The small craft were generally sunk or stove to pieces; a boat near this wharf upset and two men who were on board, drowned; and the wharf itself very materially damaged.
At Hancock's wharf, no essential injury has been sustained, except the loss of a few small boats, and the chasing of vessels laying alongside.
From Hancock's wharf to Long wharf, scarcely any damage. The direction of the wind, and the intermediate situation of the wharves, were such, as to enable the shipping of every description, to lay with great safety.
At the Long wharf, the ship Amphion and ship Hermoine , were considerably injured in their stems; the new sch. Hamilton , owned by Messrs. Newell and Niles, and capt. Wilkes Barber, lost her bowsprit, stern beat in and otherwise much injured; sch. Dorcas , capt. Rider, of Chatham, loaded with fish, beat nearly to pieces and sunk; brig Argo , of Dresden, has received considerable injury; sloop Laura , capt. Griffin, of Cape Ann, nearly beat to pieces and cargo very much damaged; sch. Fair Lady , capt. Dennis, of Harwich, much damaged; sch. Eliza-Abigail , of Provincetown, lost her bowsprit and in other respects considerably damaged; sch. Four Brothers , of Dennis; sch. Reuben , belonging to Wm. Stackpole; sch. Enterprise , belonging to Mr. Ignatius Sargent; brig Enterprise , belonging to Maynard and Lamb; sch. Seaflower , of Dennis; sch. John Adams , of New Bedford and several other vessels injured, though not essentially. The brig Seaflower , belonging to Smith, Hudson and others, was drove from the wharf and has received considerable injury—the Washington , Curtis , of Bruns-
wick, just arrived from Nantucket, drifted from her moorings, to Foster's wharf, where she lost her bowsprit, foremast, &c. and her cargo very considerably damaged.
From Long wharf to Foster's wharf, no material injury sustained.
At Foster's wharf, the brig Brilliant , (formerly the John ) has suffered and sunk—and the brig Hebe much damaged.
At Fellow's wharf, the ship Marques de Someruelas , belonging to Mr. Fellows, was drove from her fastening upon Dorchester flats, where she now lays high and dry.
At Russel's wharf no essential injury done.
From Russel's wharf to the neck, no material damage sustained by the shipping; but large quantities of lumber, &c. are destroyed.
On the flats, Fore Point Channel, two eastern schooners, with lumber, lost their bowsprits and foremasts: a sloop (lighter) belonging to Mr. Franks, sunk near the channel; a lad, by the name of Smith, who had been attempting to keep her free of water, finding the vessel sinking, clung to a plank, from which he was soon after washed off and drowned. Several boats went off and attempted to save him, but their exertions were fruitless.
The sch. Louisiana , Laufer and sch. Nancy , Perkins, of Pennscot, were drove from their anchorage and drifted to Dorchester flats, without receiving any material injury.
Two schrs. two sloops and two lighters, were also driven on shore near South Boston bridge.
Fears are entertained of the loss of the ship Protector , of New York; the pilot left her at 12 o'clock on Monday night, and he thinks she could not weather the Cape. A ship was seen off Scituate on Tuesday, about noon.
The damage sustained in the interior of the town, has been considerable; scarcely a tree, particularly the poplars, which ornamented almost every yard and garden, is left standing; many of the houses are unroofed, and some of the new buildings are so much bent and twisted, that if they do not fall of themselves, they must be taken down; among these is one belonging to Mr. Jonathan Loring, at West Boston and another to Jonathan Mason, esq. The kitchen part of the house now occupied by Mr. Chapotin in Summer-street, was unroofed, the chimney blown down, and much damage done to his furniture. The roof of the tower of the chapel was wrenched off by the violence of the wind and carried above 200 feet, before it fell. A large and new brick dwelling house, at West Boston, belonging to Mr. Ebenezer Eaton, has been greatly injured and must, it is expected, be taken down. In stating this particular, we have to lament an occurrence, which proved fatal to one of his family, and had well nigh affected the whole, in a similar manner. Mr. Eaton lived in an adjoining house; and was unconscious of the danger that hung over him; Mr. Jonathan Loring, who resided in the neighborhood, apprised him of the insecurity of his family, while the gale continued, and after repeated and urgent entreaties prevailed on him to remove his wife and children; in a few moments after, the battlements of the new house blew over and fell, with a large part of the upper story, directly upon the building, which they had just left, and entirely demolished a principal part of it; burying in its ruins, every person left in the house; among whom was a servant woman by the name of Bennet, killed, and another woman, with a man and boy, badly wounded.
The north church steeple, which experienced the power of the gale on Tuesday night, fell on an adjoining house and crushed it to pieces. The family who rented the house were all of them fortunately on a visit at the time, or they must have perished amid the ruins.
One of the western stages, in passing West Boston bridge, was upset by the force of the wind and several of the passengers considerably hurt.
In Charlestown considerable damage has been sustained by this storm. The Baptist meeting-house is partly unroofed, and the spire of the rev. Dr. Morse's meeting-house, very much bent; but being newly and strongly built, the steeple stood the gale. The new bricks building in the U. S. navy yard, is so far injured, that it must be taken down, if it does not fall of itself: a large dwelling-house, belonging to Mr. John Harris, and another to Mr. Bolton, are blown down; most of the brick-yards are considerably injured and a large quantity of bricks destroyed. The shipping experienced no damage.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.
By an Antigua paper of the 11th of September, containing an account of damage sustained there in the late hurricane; it appears that upwards of fifty vessels were driven ashore in the harbor of St. John's. The Duke of Cumberland Packet foundered at her anchors—and much destruction ashore among the wharves, cranes, stores, &c. The estates in the country, especially those in the mountains, have suffered much.
On the morning of the 10th, a severe shock of an Earthquake was felt through the island.
WASHINGTON CITY, October 17.
The FAIRS, established in the City of Washington, by an act of the corporation, to commence in November next, will, if properly attended, be of great advantage to the country adjacent, and to the city. They will afford to such persons in the country adjacent, as have stock or proper-
ty of any kind to sell, opportunities of meeting those who are desirous of purchasing, and by this interchange of wants they may be advantageous to both parties. This city being made the point of meeting, they will be probably the means of circulating large sums of money in it; whilst at the same time they cannot but prove equally beneficial to the agricultural interest of our country.
It is hoped that the May Fair, some measures will be adopted to distribute handsome premiums to those who produce the best stocks of cattle or sheep. Premiums of this kind will excite a laudable emulation, and extend their influence in a manner highly beneficial to our neighboring country.
MARYLAND ELECTION.
Though unable to give the result of the entire elections, the following statement will exhibit the progressive state of republicanism in that state.
Of the Representatives to CONGRESS elected,
Seven are republican, Two federal.
Of the former Messrs. Nicholson, Nelson, Moore, Mac Creery and Archer were elected without opposition; Mr. Covington by a majority of 83 over Mr. Van Horn, likewise republican; and Mr. Magruder by a majority of 204 over Mr. Plater.
Of the latter Mr. Campbell was elected without opposition, and Mr. Charles Goldsborough by a majority of 574.
The present representation consists of six republican and three federal members.
AUGUSTA, (Geo.) October 8.
By a gentleman of undoubted veracity, lately from the frontiers we are informed, that Colonel Hawkins has absolutely completed the purchase from the Creek Nation of Indians, of the land as far as the Ocmulgee river —the terms of purchase we could not learn; it will be recollected, that upon the commissioners meeting the Indians on this subject, it was concluded, that a deputation from the nation should go to the city of Washington, to treat for this territory; but by the judicious management of Colonel Hawkins, the expense and delay of this measure has been avoided and the land obtained earlier than was expected—the attention of Colonel Hawkins to the interests of our Citizens, will no doubt, receive what it merits, their approbation, and gratitude.
CHARLESTON, October 10.
The Election for the election districts of St. Philip and St. Michael, closed yesterday at four o'clock. The Managers finished drawing the votes for member of Congress last evening. The votes were as follows:—

NORFOLK, October 18.
We stop the press to mention the arrival in Hampton Roads of the ship Monticello , Capt. Geary, 49 days from Nantz. Paris papers to the 22d August, have been received, from which extracts will be given in our next. Capt. G. informs that a frigate of 50 guns was laying at Nantz, ready for sea, and was waiting the embarkation of Commissioners to the government of the United States, on business relative to the island of St. Domingo.
We are sorry to learn by this arrival, the death of Mr. ROBERT MOORE, of the firm of Moore, Bowden & Co. of Petersburg.
FROM THE CONNECTICUT COURANT.
HINTS TO FARMERS.
I am very glad you intend that a part of your Newspaper shall treat of the business of farming; for I believe that part, if it is managed right, may do abundance of good. I am a man in years, and have been a great while in the farming business; and I know that when I have been in company with other farmers, and we have talked together about one another's affairs, I have, many times, got light from their observations, and I believe they have been helped sometimes in carrying on their business by observations I have made to them. And as you print a newspaper that has a great many readers, I am thinking that if farmers of good experience, in all parts of the State, would send to you some of their observations on farming, and you put them into your newspaper, it might do great service to farmers in general. It might help them in their business enough, and more than enough to pay the cost of taking your paper.
There is one thing I am thinking of, where some farmers miss it very much; and that is, they are not careful enough about the goodness, of what they carry to market.—Their things are of a poor sort, or else are carried to market in poor order; and therefore they are hard put to it to sell them.—They have to go about from house to house, begging folks to buy, as it were; and after all must take up with a little, or else carry their things home again. By this means they moreover get a bad name, and people are shy of them, so that if they have any thing to sell that is passably good, they can hardly make out to sell it. And all this is for the want of pains and care; for I know by experience, that any man that has got the name of carrying things of a good sort to market, may generally sell easy enough. He has no occasion to run about and beg off his things, as it were; for people will seek after him & wait for him to come into town. That man's things they will say, are always neat and good, and he never
deceived us; and so we chuse to wait and buy of him. Wherefore my mind is, that it is much the best way for farmers who send to market to see to it that every thing is as good as they can make it, and more over in fine order.—It would more than pay them double for all their pains, and they would be better thought of besides. Your meat, let it be fatted well and dressed well, and every way clean and good; and so of your butter and cheese and cider and any other articles—see that they are as good as you can any ways make them—And then you will find chaps enough to buy; people won't blow upon you, but they will give you a good round price, rather than not have it.
A Farmer.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
An intelligent gentleman of Plattekill, has communicated to us the following method to preserve Wheat from the ravages of the Hessian Fly , or what is often termed the insect . The little expense and trouble which is required to make the experiment, we hope will induce our farmers to give it a fair trial.
I take the salt and pickle, says our informant, which can be spared from the Meel-tubs, and, adding water sufficient to soak my Seed Wheat, put in salt as long as the water will dissolve it. In this I soak the Seed eight hours; then turn off the water, and add as much ground Plaster as will adhere to the kernels of the grain. For clayey land, substitute Lime for Plaster. The Grain should be harrowed in, before it is dry. When my Seed was thus prepared, continues our Correspondent, I have never failed of a Crop, although the adjoining field, which was sown in the common way, has been so far destroyed as to induce me to plough it up for Buckwheat. Butter-milk and water have been tried in the room of Brine; but they do not produce any good effect. I do not sow my seed, thus prepared, until after the equinoctial storm, from the 21st to the 28th Sept. and have found it answer well. [Plebian.]
Caution against topping Cornstalks at too early a Period.
The kernels of Indian Corn receive their nourishment, as well from the stalk above as from the stalk and root below the ear; and they continue to be nourished, in a measure, from the stalk, till they are nearly ripe; therefore, by cutting down the upper stalks of Indian Corn too soon, the Crop must be essentially injured.
A Man, in the neighborhood of this Place, who had the present year, a small field of Indian Corn of promising appearance, happening to crop off the Corn stalks while the plants were in too green a state, the consequence was, that the Grain became remarkably shrivelled, and probably fell short one-quarter or one third, of the weight and substance which it might otherwise have had.
It has been the opinion of some Farmers that, if the upper stalks of Indian Corn were not cropped at all, the greater heaviness of the Grain would more than compensate for the loss of the Fodder. [Balance.]

To be let, on building Leases, three beautiful, airy and elevated situations for dwelling houses. To any gentleman in the mercantile line, or other occupation, who wishes a pleasant and agreeable residence for his family, either of these sites would be truly desirable, as they are contiguous to the scene of active business, at the same time that they are removed from the dust and bustle of the town. Enquire at this printing-office.
Notice.....The office of supervisor of the revenue, for the district of Virginia, being discontinued, and the unfulfilled business in the said office transferred to me—the collectors of the direct tax & internal revenue, whose accounts have not been finally adjusted and paid, are hereby informed, that they are now requested to call at my office, in the city of Richmond, without delay and pay the balances due to the United States. And those whose lands have been sold in the district of Virginia by authority of an act of Congress of the United States for non-payment of the direct tax, may redeem such lands, by paying to me within the time limited, the principal, costs and fees as the law directs.
As most of the abovenamed lands were sold in Dec. 1802, the privilege of redemption will continue until December next. The money received by me for the redemption of the said lands will be returned to the purchaser, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the purchase money, to the day on which it may be paid to me.

I AM INCLINED TO SELL, The TRACT of LAND It lies on, lying in Hanover county, 14 miles from Richmond, and about 5 from Hanover Town and Newcastle. By survey the tract contains two hundred and twenty-seven acres. The buildings are comfortable and in good repair; with a good barn, stable, &c., a large and extensive garden of two acres of ground, well inclosed, with sawed palings, on a declivity of twenty feet perpendicular, laying well to the sun. There is not a more healthy spot between the mountains and the sea. This place is particularly recommended as a retreat in the sickly season, either from the lower country or towns of the state. The sale will take place publicly at Hanover Courthouse, on the fourth Wednesday in October next, being the first day of the court of the county.
