A few Copies of LETTERS.
Under the signatures of SAREX and of A FARMER, Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Executive, towards France and Great-Britain, out of which the present crisis has arisen, originally published in the North American.
From the Editor's Preface.
Great public exigencies, in free governments, have always called forth great virtue and talents. From the passing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that steady vigilance of their rulers and jealousy of their agents, without which our government could not have been established or continued. Should we survive the fraud, prejudice and power, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall owe it to the timely illustrations of the state, and the ardent devotion of the patriot, to native good sense and unalterable attachment to liberty in the body of the people.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York.
Office of the Company, No. 29, Wall-Street.
PROPOSALS
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
The Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an unexpected moment, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this Institution; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
 HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.  This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Earthenware-Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentined Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach-Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
 I. All applications for insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described.  II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacturing is carried on in the premises, all which is to be ascertained and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person, or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, or as the same be charged at a lower premium than is hereby proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.  III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property.  IV. Every policy of insurance, made by this Company, shall be countersigned by the President and Secretary, or their proxies for whom interest the insurance is made, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.  V. No insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid.  VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already insuring on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, within fourteen days, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a ratable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained.  VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.  VIII. Bona Fide, Money or Bullion, cannot be insured.  IX. Jewels, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.  X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and at soon after as possible, to deliver in particulars of the nature of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall produce a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, or other person of credit, certifying that the same is true to the best of their knowledge, and not concealed in such loss, that they are acquainted with the manner and circumstances of the loss or damage, and do know, or reasonably believe, that the same was really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or ill intent, occasioned by fire; and that the loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned, is just, and such affairs and articles as are produced, the loss or damage is just and fair, and that no other insurance, or other policy, is in force on the same. 
Also swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy. XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgement of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same, in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever. XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb 13.
Extract from "an Act to amend the several Acts amending the Charter of the Borough of Norfolk, passed January 27, 1803." Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the said Court of the Borough of Norfolk, shall annually appoint three persons residing within each ward, a majority of whom may act as superintendents to conduct the elections of Common Councilmen within the same, for one year thereafter; and the said superintendents of elections shall take an oath of them as shall act in each ward, shall appoint convenient places within the same, where elections shall be held; and previous to any election, shall give one month's notice of the time and place of holding the same, in one of the Norfolk Newspapers; and before admitting a person to ballot, shall cause his name to be entered in a Poll-Book, to be kept for that purpose, and shall be the sole judges of the qualifications of each voter. And as soon as the Poll shall be closed, the ballots shall be publicly examined, and the two persons having the greatest number of votes shall be declared duly elected; but if it shall be found that any two or more have an equal number of votes, the election between them shall be made by lot. No person shall vote in more than one ward, under the penalty of ten dollars, to be recovered for the use of the Corporation, before any Justice of the peace of this Commonwealth; and the said superintendents of elections shall return the said Poll-Book, with a certificate of their own qualification, and the number of the votes for each person, and of the persons elected, to the court of said Borough, and to the Clerk of the Common Council; and a vacancy in the Common Council shall be filled by a like election, to be held in the ward where such vacancy may happen; and the qualifications of any person or persons elected as aforesaid, shall be adjudged of by the whole number of persons elected, or a majority of them; and if any person returned shall be adjudged disqualified, notice thereof shall be given to the superintendents of election of the ward to which such person belonged, who shall forthwith hold another election in manner aforesaid. July 11.
Two Valuable FARMS for Sale. I offer the following Valuable Property for Sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land lying on the N. E. side of Perquimans River, containing 106 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one other Tract containing 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well timbered. I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 200 of which are cleared and in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any in this part of the state, the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of Wheat and Indian Corn, Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost spontaneously) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this farm in one season from 50,000 hills, 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Perquimans River, near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling House, with every necessary out-house. The two Tracts on the same river are considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with rail timber, &c. This is an excellent well of water, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the farm may be had from 15 to 20 good orderly Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c. The Farm on which I live, contains 500 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in prime order, the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place would admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expense; the situation is excellent by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling House and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly inclosed, which affords the greatest abundance of vegetables of every kind necessary for family use. This Farm is a most desirable situation for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry. The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situations in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Warehouse three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be shown, and the terms (which will be very moderate) will be known by applying to me. JOHN SKINNER. Moseley's Point, June 4, 1809.
FOR SALE, A very valuable Tract of LAND, Containing eleven hundred acres, situated at the mouth of York River, in Gloucester County, remarkably pleasant and healthy, abounding with the finest fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The soil is well adapted to the culture of corn, small grain, tobacco and cotton; there is about 400 acres cleared and under good fences—the range for stock of all kinds is equal if not superior to any, having a large firm salt marsh attached to it. The timber is fully sufficient for the use of the plantation. The improvements are a good Overseer's House, an excellent Barn, Corn, and Negro Houses. Should have no objection to divide the Land, so as to suit purchasers, provided the whole could be sold—one third of the purchase money, will be wanted in cash, the balance will be made easy; a great bargain may be had in the purchase, and the privilege of sowing 130 acres in small grain in the fall, which is now in corn; possession at Christmas next. Any person who may wish to purchase, it is presumed will view the premises, which will be shown by Mr. William Thornton, who resides on the plantation, or the Subscriber. William K. Perrin. Gloucester County, June 24, 1809.
A BARGAIN OFFERED, In a fine and Valuable FARM, in the County of Princess Anne. The Subscriber is disposed to sell his Plantation called LEVEL GREEN, situated in the county of Princess Anne. It contains about 500 acres; and, as it may be advantageously divided into two or three Farms, the subscriber will accommodate a purchaser, in selling either the whole or a part. He will also give a long credit. This tract of Land is certainly the most desirable in the county, lying on the Eastern branch of Elizabeth River, and distant from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and 8 or 9 by land. The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and fit for immediate culture; the other heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory. It has also the advantage of several good landings. Any one disposed to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the presence of the subscriber, to James Robinson, or John Skinker, who reside in the neighbourhood. Tally Robinson. July 7.
