Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT of GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, on the George Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE of GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm. ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

BAYONNE JUNTA, CREATED BY NAPOLEON.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
PARIS, June 21.
The following official documents, concerning the Spanish Junta, have been published:
GENERAL JUNTA—FIRST MEETING.
On the 15th of June, in the current year, 1808, at noon the first assembly of the Spanish Junta was held in the city of Bayonne, in the Bishop's Palace, where a hall had been prepared for that purpose, under the presidency of his excellency don Miguel Jose d'Azanza, counsellor of state, minister of the finances, and secretary of the Junta; his excellency the chevalier d'Urquijo, honorary counsellor of state; and don Antonio Romanillos, member of the Council of Finances, and secretary of the King.
After the verifications of their powers by the members of the Junta, an order of the council of Castile was read, announcing the Decree of his Majesty the emperor of the French, by which he proclaimed his brother Joseph Napoleon, formerly King of Naples and Sicily, King of Spain and the Indies.
The following is the substance of said Document:
"This, day in full Council, the following Royal Order and Decree was read, addressed to the Dean of the Council."
"High and Worthy Sir—By the following Decree, which has been presented to the Supreme Junta of the government, by his Imperial and Royal highness the Grand Duke of Berg, Lieutenant General of the Kingdom, his majesty the Emperor of the French, &c. has deemed it good to proclaim his serene Brother Joseph Napoleon, now King of Naples and Sicily King of Spain and the Indies. I, by the command of his highness, and subsequent resolution of the Junta, do present it to your worship, in order that the same may, without delay, be put into execution and executed."
"The council will see in this resolution of his Imperial Majesty, the wisdom of his beneficent intentions towards the Spanish nation."
"To proclaim him King is to say what is expected from his paternal cares; and to place his Illustrious brother on the throne of Spain is to unite for ever the interest and glory of Spain."
"His imperial highness, together with the Junta, who so well know that among the qualities which equally occasioned the election of this sovereign, his love of justice and beneficence are to be enumerated, and their hope that all those benefits which he has in his proclamation promised will soon take effect, together with all those others which his majesty has doubtless reserved to himself, to announce to his people when he appears in his metropolis."
"In the palace, 11th June,"
(Signed) "SEBASTIANO DE PINUELA."
"To the Dean of the Council," [Here follows the imperial decree, proclaiming Joseph king of Spain and of the Indies.]
"The council, after the reading of these documents commands, that the royal mandate and decree be printed, announced, and circulated with the accustomed formalities."
"I impart this to your excellency by command of the council. Be pleased to acknowledge the receipt of it."
(Signed) BARTOLOME MUNOZ.
Madrid, June 11."
The foregoing documents having been read, his excellency M. d'Azanza, President of the Junta, delivered the following
SPEECH:
GENTLEMEN, IT is a most pleasing and honorable task to contribute to the felicity of one's country, and to labor for the welfare of the present race, and of posterity. Such is the fact the great object which unites us in this venerable assembly, called together by the command and under the eye of the hero of our age, the invincible Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy. Thanks and immortal fame to the extraordinary man who gives us again a country which we had lost! Since many centuries we have been altogether removed from the government, which has been entrusted at one time to artful men, who had no other object than with dexterity to oppress the people, at another time, to weak sovereigns, without character, who, devoting themselves to their pleasures, abandoned the government to their favorites. See! It is thus that the Spanish nation has been sinking from the summit of its glory, to which it had raised itself in the 15th and 16th centuries,
to the abyss in which it was plunged, when the last of our kings resigned the right of government to a prince, who, for our happiness, unites in himself all the qualities requisite to give life to the nation, in the critical state in which it was entrusted to him.
The first use which he made of his new power was to impart it to his brother Joseph Napoleon, a just and beneficent prince who, raised before to the throne of Naples had already proved, indisputably, that his government was paternal, and had no other object than the welfare of those who were happy enough to live under his laws. He has resolved that in this place where he resides, and even in his presence, the deputies of the principal towns, and the other authorities of our country should assemble in order to confer on the evils under which we have lived, and to confirm the constitution which our restorer himself will present to us, in order that it may be the inviolable rule of our government. This is the noble and glorious end for which we are assembled here. It is therefore necessary that we should apply our whole attention, and laying aside all party spirit, and all the prejudices of provinces, classes, and ranks, devote all our energies to the common welfare of Spain. No one can now have an interest distinct from that of his country. The members of the same family must alike enjoy the common benefit, and alike contribute to the respective charge of supporting the common splendor. In the eye of the law, they who are less favored by fortune lose none of the respect they merit, nor of their right to be protected. Let every one of us, as far as himself is concerned, sacrifice the benefits we exclusively enjoy, and of which many are imaginary. Let us offer them upon the altar of our country, in order to raise a simple and great monument in the place of the Gothic and tottering structure of our former government. Let us examine it well, and we shall find that it is the constitution which best fits the whole of our country, upon which our attention must be fixed, and by no means on what alone is to the advantage of particular classes.
"United here, Gentlemen, each of us apart may do much to appease ferment and disorder which disquiet various towns of the kingdom. Our remonstrances may make them perceive the misery into which they are plunged by the seduction of selfish men, and warnings may force out of their hands weapons which can alone injure themselves. What do these men imagine? Do they think that they can restore the princes of the old dynasty to the Throne? What means have they to contend against a power which the greatest empires have not been able to resist? The illusion of some is risen to so great a height, that in order to fix their election upon the house of Austria, they have determined that the Archduke Charles shall be king of Spain. Ah! what can the house of Austria do for us? Can they rely upon such distant support, and upon such slow aid?
"Nevertheless, they act without plain concord, or object. What must be the result? The ruin and desolation of the country. As to ourselves, we are convinced of the truth, but it is necessary to proclaim it to those who are in error. It is thus that our labours may be of service, and that we may execute the noble purposes of the hero who has called us together. If we do not lose sight of the enlightened principles which I have slightly mentioned there is no doubt that Spain will enjoy her former splendor, and it will be joyful then to think that we have contributed to it."
After having heard the address of M. d'Azanza, the Junta resolved that they would, in a body, testify their allegiance and homage to his majesty the king of Spain and present a suitable address to him, the adoption of which should take place in the present sitting.— Moniteur, June 22.
June 23.
On the 16th inst. the Spanish Junta at Bayonne held their second sitting. On the 18th they were admitted in a body to an audience to his majesty king Joseph. His excellency don M. J. d'Azanza delivered the following address:
"Sire!—All the world knows for what momentous purpose we have been summoned into this city by your illustrious brother the invincible Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy. To lay the foundation of the permanent felicity of our dear country is the glorious task imposed upon us. Is it not our duty to testify first to our king, the chief of the Spanish nation, and the centre of all hope the becoming zeal and the unwearied earnestness with which under the present memorable circumstances we shall devote ourselves to the office with which we are charged?
"We are, sire, deeply afflicted at the divisions and momentary disturbances which are shaking some of our provinces, disturb-
ances which have been occasioned by the errors of the people, who do not think, and who will merit your pity when they return from their errors."
"We have done, sire, and shall do all that depends upon ourselves, in order to bring back peace and good order, for that which is of the highest moment is, that no hindrance arise in the way of the beneficent projects of the incomparable hero who has imprinted his immortal name on the grateful hearts of our latest posterity. We are, sire, to concur in these projects, and we are to support your majesty with the integrity, fidelity, the self-devotion which constitute duties the most precious to the heart, since your majesty has announced the glorious resolution to govern only for the happiness of Spaniards; a resolution worthy the monarch whose fame is spread over the universe as a model of gentleness and virtue, who constituted the delight of the people he governed, and whom he loved in tears, because he went to bear away his virtues into another land."
"Such, sire, are the feelings which animate us, and which we now come in a body to testify at the foot of your majesty."
To this His majesty gave the following answer:
"Gentlemen, Deputies to the Junta, "I share in your sentiments and in your hopes. The so clearly announced will of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, our illustrious brother, in favor of the prosperity of Spain, is sufficiently guaranteed by his glory."
"The co-operation of your zeal and your resources will easily subdue the obstacles which private interest may lay in the way of the whole nation; being founded in error, they shall be expelled by truth."
"As to ourselves we wish not to know those errors. Beyond the Pyrenees we will find none but Spanish hearts."
"In leaving a people who rendered justice to our government, we have made the severest of all sacrifices; but the love of that people is a prognostic of that of the Spaniards; shall we do less for the great nation whom Providence has entrusted to our care? Will they be less just towards us? We know the full import of Castilian faith; we shall bring the heart of a father, we shall meet with none but the hearts of children."
"In the mean while the enemies of the continent seek to separate the colonies from the mother country: they will impune to us the dissensions which themselves occasion; since it is our duty to repress them, we will on no account spare the malevolent, who are the accessories or instruments of the subtle hatred of our enemies."
"Continue your labors for the welfare of your country, and be assured of the blessings of the people, and of our perfect satisfaction.— Moniteur, June 22.
On the 11th inst. his majesty the king of Spain appointed the grand duke of Berg lieutenant general of Spain.
June 23.
The following is a short relation of the third sitting of the Spanish Junta, held at Bayonne on the 20th inst.:
His excellency M. d'Azanza caused a sketch of the constitutional statute for Spain to be read by M. Romanillos, counsellor of finance; presented by command of his majesty the emperor and king.
It was resolved that this sketch should be printed; that one copy should be given to each member of the Junta; that three days afterwards each deputy should have the liberty of giving in his sentiments in writing, without preventing oral discussions, which may be necessary, in order to elucidate the questions to which the sketch may give rise. The assembly was then adjourned to the following day.— Moniteur, June 26.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—JUNE 26
Extract from Mr. Canning's Speech, on American affairs.
"America, sir, is the next subject of the Hon. Gentleman's which I shall notice. Of nearly all that has passed between the two countries, the House and the public have been put in possession by the publication of the American Government. I presume that the Honorable Gentleman does not intend to blame his majesty's ministers for not having made similar communications to parliament; for if he had thought such communications necessary, he would doubtless have moved for them. Without censuring their production by the American government, his majesty's ministers have felt that the transaction being pending, any appeal from government to parliament would look as if it were concluded. I shall only state, that in the whole conduct of the British government with respect to the affair of the Chesapeake, we have endeavored to keep in view the principle upon which we set out, namely to make ample reparation for that which was decidedly a wrong act; but

SATURDAY, AUGUST 27.
The mail by the British Packet Windsor Castle (for Falmouth via Halifax) will close at New York on the 7th Sept.
The name of the Mandarin, who has proceeded to China in the Beaver, is PUNQUA WINGCHONG. He is said to be "no mean scholar, which is an incidental proof of his being a Mandarin, as learning in China is the best recommendation to preferment in the offices of state. He has acquired sufficient knowledge of the English tongue to make himself tolerably well understood: and his whole deportment is that of a respecta le personag."
"SINCE THE RETURN OF MR. ROSE NO COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN MADE BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, IN THE FORM OF COMPLAINT OR REMONSTRANCE, OR IRRITATION, OR OF ANY DESCRIPTION WHATSOEVER. I MENTION THIS PARTICULARLY, BECAUSE IT IS NOTORIOUS, THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ARRIVALS FROM AMERICA, SUPPOSED TO BE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, AND THAT SEVERAL SPECIAL MESSENGERS HAVE REACHED THIS COUNTRY FROM THENCE, AFTER HAVING TOUCHED IN FRANCE."
The above extract is taken from Mr. Secretary Canning's speech in the Parliament of England, the whole of which we this day present to our readers. It contains a frank and unequivocal declaration, that no communication had been made through our ministers to the British cabinet. Thus it seems after all the parade of negotiation and the pacific endeavors of administration to reconcile our differences with England, that a deceitful trick, a cheat, a base fraud has been practised upon the people of this country. The dispatches forwarded by the Osage, which the nation was flattered into a belief would heal, or otherwise terminate our disputes with France and England, were exclusively confined to the former. Can reasonable men require any other evidence of the views of administration? Why deceive the people? If it was thought expedient to conceal the real object of dispatching the Osage to France and not to make any communication to the court of St. James, why was she ordered to England after the dispatches were delivered to our minister in France? It could have been intended only to keep up the deception, and while this country was amused with the expectation of an accommodation taking place with England, a deep and disgraceful game was playing between Mr. Madison and Talleyrand. To place the finesse upon its most favorable footing, and to credit the equivocal and evasive explanation of the administration papers, it was evidently designed to give a preference to the French government in a choice of the conditions upon which her iniquitous decrees were to be relaxed. Should she reject our proposals it was not to be placed within the power of Great Britain to accede to them. The popular measure was to originate with France to ensure the friendship of the people of this country, and a war with England. Great Britain then, conceding every thing that is demanded by administration, standing related to this country precisely in the same manner as France, has been unfairly dealt with, & every important act of administration tending to confirm her just suspicions of an undue partiality, will inevitably increase the animosity which already subsists between the two countries to the great disadvantage and danger of both. But that the Osage was dispatched for some unfair, some dishonorable purpose not fit to be revealed to the nation, is sufficiently proved, by the inviolable and mysterious secrecy which has been persevered in by government since her return, and its being generally known that the project, whatever it may have been failed.

ALEXANDRIA CORPORATION.
AN ACT
To preserve the navigation of the Public Docks in the town of Alexandria. WHEREAS it is represented to the mayor and commonality of the town of Alexandria, That divers persons, inhabitants of the said town, and others, have been and still are in the habit of introducing into the public docks adjacent to the several wharves in said town, the decayed and rotten hulks of old vessels, boats, and craft, of different descriptions, under pretence of repairing the same, but in reality to serve the purposes of fuel, which when cut down to the surface of the water are wilfully and negligently suffered to sink to the bottom of said docks where they remain obstructions
to the navigation, for the accumulation of filth and receptacles, endangering the health of those residing in the neighborhood, and in every instance injurious to the interests of individuals, and the community at large. For remedy whereof, Be it enacted by the mayor and commonality of the town of Alexandria, aforesaid, That if any person or persons shall bring or cause to be brought into any of the public docks adjacent to the wharves, aforesaid, any hulks or part of a hulk, of any vessel, boat, or craft, whatsoever, and suffer the same to sink to the bottom of the said docks, and there remain any longer time than ten days, such offender shall upon conviction, forfeit and pay the sum of fifty dollars, to be recovered by action in the court of Hustings, and the further sum of five dollars for every twenty four hours (after the expiration of the ten days heretofore specified) such nuisance and obstruction shall remain unremoved out of the said docks, which fine, or forfeiture of five dollars shall be recovered by warrant, before any single magistrate of the town aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the harbor master, from time to time, carefully to examine the public docks of the town aforesaid, and to prevent after the passing of this law, the introduction of any obstruction whatever, into the said docks, which may in any degree injure the navigation thereof, or prove prejudicial to the health or interest of such individuals as live and own property adjoining the docks, aforesaid, and the harbor-master is further directed immediately to cause every obstruction at present remaining in the docks, aforesaid, to be removed agreeably to the provisions of this law. All monies arising by virtue of this law, to be appropriated to the use of the corporation.
Read three times in council and assented to.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed the seal of the corporation, this 2d day of July, 1799.

PROSPECTUS
OF A WEEKLY PUBLICATION, TO BE ENTITLED THE RELIGIOUS REPOSITORY. BY W. A. RIND, Georgetown, Dist. of Columbia.
THE Editor begs leave to offer this Work to the attention and patronage of the Methodist Society in particular, not only because it is thought proper to give it a decided character, but because the Coanexion at present have no religious vehicle of the kind, nor have they had since the discontinuance of their Magazine, which was published some years ago.
Both the Presbyterians and Episcopalians have under their patronage monthly publications devoted to the same subjects proposed to be embraced by this work.
The Editor, however, flatters himself that this publication will possess some advantages over those that are only issued monthly, in furnishing earlier religious intelligence, and he hopes it will afford greater satisfaction to Readers in general, as in such works the same subjects and accounts are continued in a series of numbers.
But since this work is to be devoted to the interest of religion, both in its doctrine and experience, and will likewise include the subject of morality, we think it entitled to the greater attention; and we wish it to be distinctly understood, that as it has for its object the diffusion of religious information, the subject of Politics will not be introduced In the Scripture sense of the term, RELI-
gion embraces not only what we are to believe, but more especially what we must experience of its great truths in our hearts— MORALITY implies not only that man should do no harm, but that they should be actively and zealously engaged in acts of benevolence and works of righteousness. It would then appear that Religion consists in what we believe and experience, and Morality in that Faith and Experience reduced into practice. True Religion and Morality go hand in hand, and mutually support each other: Where there is not Morality, there cannot be Religion, and we are disposed to think likewise that there cannot be genuine Morality without Religion. Instead then of drawing our ideas of Morality from principles founded on natural right, let us look to a higher source— to RELIGION—and to that Religion taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. RELIGION alone has power to persuade with celerity, because it excites passion while it informs the understanding—because it alone has the means of rendering obvious what it recommends—because it speaks in the Name of GOD, and it is easy to inspire respect for him whose power is every where evident to the eyes of the simple and discerning—to the eyes of children, and men of mature understanding.
It will be expected that the religious part of the Community in particular will patronize a publication of this kind. It claims the attention and support of religious denominations of all descriptions, not only as subscribers, but as contributors of Essays and Communications on the subjects it proposes to embrace. Almost every political publication has met with generous patronage—and to such, religious characters have not failed to contribute their part. But while they have thus aided in diffusing political information, they will not surely reflect on their profession, by withholding from this their influence and support.
But we think this work forcibly recommends itself to the attention of the enlightened Politician. That man does not deserve the name of Politician, who is unconscious of the influence of Religion and Morality upon the good government and happiness of society. Weak, indeed, are the restraints of human laws, and honor, unaided by the obligations and precepts of Religion, upon the ambition and avarice of wicked men. Without the influence of Religion, these passions may be expected to triumph over the law and every principle of justice.
The "Religious Repository" will be a collection of original and well selected pieces on Religion and Morality, and will serve likewise to record the revivals of Religion, particularly at Camp-meetings, and also to preserve a short account of the Lives Sayings, and Deaths, of eminently pious Characters—and thus shall we "gather up the fragments, and nothing will be lost."
In addition it will contain select and original pieces of Natural History, together with instructive and pleasing Anecdotes.
The Editor has already engaged the assistance of his religious friends, as well of the Ministry as others; and he particularly requests the Traveling and Local Preachers of the Connexion to forward to him, from time to time, such Communications as may be embraced within the general objects of the work.

A quantity of good clean Wheat, BY
Wm. Bartleman.
August 16. Printing in its various branches executed with accuracy and dispatch.
That reparation under a firm determination not to surrender a right which the great majority of the country has ever considered essential to its dearest interests. I may boldly appeal to the correspondence between the house, any such disposition on the part of his majesty's ministers has appeared through the whole transaction. That the rupture of negotiation on this subject was not attended with any hostile feeling on either side, is an incontrovertible truth. The reparation was not accepted by America, because America would not fulfill the condition on which alone it was tenanted, namely the revocation of that proclamation by which the British ships were not allowed to enter the harbours of America, while those of the enemy visited them at pleasure. But sir, the manner in which the British reparation was tendered to America by a special mission, was to all the feelings of nice honour, an effective reparation, altho' not accepted; and so in fact we have every reason to believe it was considered by the American Government. With respect, sir, to the embargo, and to the probable effects of the Orders in Council in producing its abandonment, the honorable Gentleman has mis-stated my right hon. friend's propositions. The hon. gentleman declares my right hon. friend to have predicted, that the Orders in Council would do away the embargo, whereas my hon. friend only argued in opposition to the hon. gentleman on the other side, that the Orders in Council did not produce the embargo; that they were not substantially known in America when the embargo took place; and that they were not included in the complaint made by the American Government to Congress on which complaint the embargo was founded. Nor, sir, do I think that the Orders in Council themselves could have produced any irritation in America. If I were not disposed on this occasion to avoid making any observation that might be suspected of a party feeling, I would say, that I do think irritation in America may have been produced by the echo of the discussions in this house. [Hear, hear!]—Sir, since the return of Mr. Rose, no communication has been made by the American government, in the form of complaint, or remonstrance, or irritation, or of any description whatever. I mention this particularly, because it is notorious that there have been several arrivals from America, supposed to be of great importance, and that several special messengers have reached this country from thence, after having touched at France. But, sir, if the honorable gentleman in the execution of his public duty had thought it to move for any communications that had been made by the American government since the departure of Mr. Rose, my answer must have been, not that his majesty's government were disinclined to make them, but that absolutely there were none to make. If it be asked "why?" I am unable satisfactorily to reply. I can only conjecture that America has entered into negotiations with France which are expected to lead to some result, and that the communications of America to this country are to be contingent on that result. This, sir, is conjecture alone, but it is founded on the extraordinary circumstance of so many arrivals without any communication. It cannot be expected of me, that I should state prospectively, what are the views of his majesty's government on this subject. The principle by which they have hitherto been guided, they will continue invariably to contemplate. They attach as much value to the restoration, and to the continuance of cordiality, and perfect good understanding with America, as any man can do: they are ready to purchase that advantage by every justifiable conciliation; they have proved that readiness by the act of the present session, in which the trade of America has been placed on the most favorable footing; but sir, they are not ready to purchase that advantage, great as they acknowledge it, at the price of surrender of those rights, on which the naval power and preponderance of Great Britain is immutably fixed."

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodoc creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox-bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes, my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchaser's own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
