Boot and Shoe Manufactory.
SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c.
that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Sole and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished, and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions, only he expects custom.  He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO, all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here.  He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see.  He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.

SPEECH OF MR. ROSE, (Father to the late ambassador to the government of the United States)  IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Mr. Rose began by observing, that as the arguments for the measure proposed, rested very much on the resentment with which we were acting towards America, and the distress inflicted on us as affecting our trade and our manufactures; it became necessary to look into the causes of those evils as far as there was any reality in them. In America the measures hostile to the interests of this country were adopted without the slightest ground, arising from any provocation given. The non-importation act was passed in November, 1806, though it did not actually take effect till December 14, 1807, a law directed solely against Great-Britain, without a pretence of any offence, or even an attempt to assign one. The embargo act followed, on the 22d of the same month, before our orders in council were or could be known; the reason for which could not be mistaken; because it was distinctly stated, by a message from the president, that the only ground for the measure was the communication made in that message, namely, Regnier's letter of the 24th September, 1807, explanatory of the Berlin decree, and our proclamation recalling our seamen from all foreign services: the last a proceeding resorted to in every war; and to prevent a possibility of misconception as to the indispensable cause of the embargo, Mr. Madison in transmitting the act imposing it, and the President's message to Mr. Pinkney, tells him "the policy and the causes of the embargo are explained in the message from the president;" which is quite decisive on the point, as there is not a syllable in that message that has a reference to the orders in council, and it was not till the 19th February that there was the remotest allusion to them by the president or secretary of state, on which day Mr. Madison writes to Mr. Pinkney "that these orders were among the considerations which enforced the embargo." In Europe, the measures restrictive on our trade, had their origin in the tyranny and oppression of the ruler of the French empire; by his Berlin decree of the 21st November 1806, which, however, remained, as to the north of Europe, nearly a dead letter, till after the treaty of Tilsit in July, 1807, because he had no means of enforcing it. It was the decree of the 3d September following, in Holland, that gave effect to it; under which the regulations in all the northern continental ports were so strict, as to prevent any goods from this country being landed in them; the consequences of which were, that sixty-four applications were made to the custom-house in London, to reload cargoes returned on the hands of the merchants in the months of September and October. He then noticed Mr. Whitbread's assertions, that we were pursuing the same disastrous course which led to the American war, by taxing that country; observing that the orders in council, instead of applying exclusively to the United States, as their non-importation act, previously passed, did to England, they operated equally as to all neutral nations, and could not be considered otherwise than as much more lenient in their operation than the French decree of Berlin, as enforced by the Dutch one, and the Milan decree. These remarks, Mr. Rose said, were made in justice to this country, to show, that under the afflicting circumstances in which the two countries are placed towards each other at the present moment, that the government of Great-Britain had nothing to reproach itself with; and that, lamenting from his heart, as deeply as any man in either country could, the interruption to the harmony between them, it was impossible not to derive some consolation from being able to make the following statements, in answer to Mr. Whitbread's enquiry, "Where we should find resources to counteract the loss of the American trade?"
FROM ENGLAND ONLY.
  Exports to American states, on a medium of 1806 and 1807, to Michaelmas, £.11,774,000   In 1808, 5,784,000   Decrease to the United States in 1808, 5,990,000   Exports to all other parts of America, except the U. States, but including the West-Indies, in 1808, 12,859,000   Ditto, on medium of 1806 and 1807, 8,629,000   Increase to all other parts of America, 4,230,000   Actual loss of trade with all parts of America, £.1,760,000   Which account of actual loss was compensated to a considerable extent by the mercantile profit on the sum of £230,000. in a trade now carried on by our own merchants, and in our own ships, to the Spanish and Portuguese settlements, either directly from Great Britain, or circuitously through our West India islands, which had before been carried on by the Americans, through the United States in their ships.   Mr. Rose suggesting at the same time, that, according to the best information he could obtain, he had reason to believe that when accounts could be made up to Christmas, it would be found that the falling off of the trade to the whole of America would be very considerably less than the amount above mentioned.   And that on an attentive examination of the accounts now before the publick, it appeared that the decrease of the exports to America was in the articles enumerated in the Non-Importation Act (directed, as before observed, exclusively against this country, and passed a year before even a colour of pretence was given, and enforced before the Orders in Council were known) notwithstanding which the exports of British manufactures to the United States were—   In 1808, £.5,718,000   Medium of consumption in America in 1802, 3, and 4, 5,153,000   Excess of exports in 1808 beyond the consumption in those 3 years, £.565,000   The American consumption was made out as follows:   Average of exports to America from Great Britain, 1802, 3, and 4, 9,230,000   British goods landed in America, and duties paid there, 6,165,000   Ditto re-exported from thence, 1,012,000   British goods consumed in America, 5,153,000   British goods sent on from America to foreign colonies without landing, 3,063,000   Ditto landed there and re-exported, 1,012,000   4,077,000   9,230,000 
In answer to Mr. Barring's assertion, that the exchange on the continent against England was entirely owing to the stop that had been put to the trade from the American States to the northern ports; Mr. Rose argued against the possibility of its arising from that source, considering the cause of the insufficiency of shipping to carry on the trade of this country might arise, in some degree at least from the number of ships in the transport service; but we find, on inquiry, that at the time it was made, and now, there are only 32,000 tons of shipping more employed than there were last summer.  The passing of this act was prevented by a misapprehension which unfortunately arose between the commanding officer of the troops, and the Assembly, which occasioned a sudden prorogation.  As the accounts from Scotland could not be made up to a broken period. Mr. Rose said he had no later accounts than those of American consumption.
  those exports, which were in 1805, the latest year he had an account of them.   To France and Holland, £.3,480,000   To Spain and Italy, 1,016,000   To the North of Europe, 939,000   To the Enemy's colonies in the West-Indies, 2,232,000   9,667,000   All the rest of the world, of which to G.

Which decrease of £4,414,000. (the falling off to the whole of America having been already explained) arose from the ports in the north of Europe having been shut by the Dutch decree of September (giving effect to the Berlin decree) having been enforced.  Having thus shown the effect of the hostile measures adopted in America as respecting our commerce, Mr. Rose proceeded to state what effect had been produced by them on our navigation; and here he took a retrospective view of the navigation to America previous to the Treaty in 1794, and subsequent to that in 1792; there were British ships navigating
  Ships. Tons.   To the United States 223 50,770   In 1794, 5 35 8,564   In 1807 — 8,168   In which last year the American shipping in the trade of Great Britain were — 172,000 
So completely were British ships driven out of the intercourse between the two countries.  British shipping to the British Colonies
  Tons. Men.   in N. America, in 1807, 64,500 3,326   Ditto in 1808, 121,000 6,089 
And this year it is quite certain the proportion will be very greatly increased, from the ships already taken up, and the freights agreed for, as high as from 9% to 10% a ton to British America, which last year was from 6% to 7%.  British ships from the under-mentioned colonies to the British West India Islands, viz.
  Ships. Tons.   From Newfoundland, Canada, New-   Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, in 1807, 120 14,400   Ditto, in 1808, 259 30,700 
This comparison would have been greatly more favourable, if the returns for 1808 had been complete; but those from Canada and New-Brunswick are only for three quarters, and from Nova Scotia for half a year.  Looking next to our West India islands, which it was very generally believed would have been reduced to the greatest distress, if not involved in actual ruin, by the interruption of the intercourse with the Americans, it afforded him great satisfaction to be able to state, that no such consequence had followed; that in Jamaica the only inconvenience that had been experienced, was a want of White Oak Staves, which it is now known, can be supplied in the utmost abundance from Canada; and in some of the Leeward islands a temporary increase in the price of flour. The American Embargo, therefore, instead of being injurious to our islands, had been attended with incalculable advantages to them, as well as to our continental colonies; and the former, in shewing that their state of dependence on the U. States was only imaginary; and to the latter, in producing a rapid increase of their internal prosperity, as well as of their navigation; observing that in the year 1806,
  Tons.   The British shipping to Jamaica was 117,000   And the American as high as 77,000   In proof of the West Indians themselves being awakened to a sense of their independence of the United States, Mr. Rose mentioned, that the Assembly of Jamaica had brought in a bill with general concurrence, imposing considerable duties on articles brought from thence in American bottoms, and on the ships in which they shall be imported, which must necessarily confine the navigation, in a great degree to British shipping. On which occasion, it was suggested by a well informed gentleman, eager for West Indian interests, that the embargo was known only by name. All apprehensions therefore, relative to our West India Islands, being thus disposed of, it remained to be seen what privations we should suffer at home, which might be reduced to two, of any importance to our manufactures or our prosperity, in any respect—Cotton, Wool and Flax Seed. 
  Of the former the quantity imported on an average of the last two three or four years, was about lbs. 58,000,000   Which might be supplied from (viz.)   Our West India Islands 13,000,000   From Brazil 20,000,000   From the East Indies 20,000,000   lbs. 58,000,000 
Brazil having exported of late years about 23 or 24,000,000 lbs. most of which to France; and from the East Indies the quantity to be had is unlimited. Of the fax-seed, imported into Great Britain, the proportion is very trifling, the deficiency to Ireland (which is very considerable) might probably be supplied from different parts of Europe.
In this true state of matters, Mr. Rose said he had no difficulty in answering Mr. Whitbread's question, "what would become of your sailors?" by observing there would be increased employment for them.  To Mr. Barring's assertion of there being ten years' consumption of British manufactures at Rio Janeiro, he could not hazard a denial, he could only say, he had not heard a syllable about it; and that the fact appeared to him incredible, as he knew great shipments were rapidly making for the markets in South America; adding, he was utterly at a loss to form a conjecture on what ground that gentleman founded his opinion—that it was more beneficial to this country for the Americans to carry on that commerce, than for the British to do it themselves.  Having exhibited this view of the effects produced by the embargo of America to this country, Mr.
When we heard the statement made we thought this insufficiency of shipping to carry on the trade of this country might arise, in some degree at least from the number of ships in the transport service; but we find, on inquiry, that at the time it was made, and now, there are only 32,000 tons of shipping more employed than there were last summer.  The passing of this act was prevented by a misapprehension which unfortunately arose between the commanding officer of the troops, and the Assembly, which occasioned a sudden prorogation.  As the accounts from Scotland could not be made up to a broken period. Mr. Rose said he had no later accounts than those of American consumption. consumption.
Rose alluded very generally to those which might be felt from it in that country, by a stoppage of the exports to the extent of about £2,000,000, nearly half of which is native produce, by the loss of nearly their whole revenue, as that arises solely from imports, except what is derived from the post-office, by the loss of their East-India trade, which had enabled them to supply all countries, but this, with the manufactures of India, by the turning other trades into different channels, especially to and from our islands, and the Spanish and Portuguese settlements; and lastly, the danger of navigation suffering for a long time.
From these inconveniences to America, as such, he derived no consolation whatever; but he thought it neither unnatural nor illiberal to observe with some degree of satisfaction, how small the injuries sustained by ourselves are, by the interruption to the trade with the United States, when compared with those which were apprehended; pressing at the same time on the attention of the house the impossibility of his finding cause of exultation in any thing injurious to America, under a clear and strong conviction on his mind, early taken, and confirmed by long experience, that the interests of the two countries, rightly understood, are inseparable; that America, therefore, cannot suffer by internal disturbances, or by foreign misfortunes, without England being affected by it; that he was a warm and zealous friend to America, which he manifested on every opportunity, and should continue to do so.
That it could not be considered as inconsistent with that friendly regard to America, that on the present occasion he endeavoured to prove how little, comparatively, we have been injured by the measures she meant as inflictions upon us; and he then contrasted with these the measures adopted by this country towards them.
The United States passed the non-importation act, directed exclusively against this country, in March, 1806, to take effect in November following, but suspended the execution of it till the middle of December, 1807, and they passed the embargo act the end of that month.
In July, 1807, (a year after the non-importation law) we passed an act continuing to the Americans all the benefits of the expired treaty, under which their shipping had flourished to the exclusion of our own, and they had derived so many other advantages; which we continued, even after their embargo, till the end of the session 1808; and finding them then determined to persist in their injurious conduct to this country, the vengeance we took of them was to pass a law towards the end of June, 1808, placing their trade with us on the footing with that of the most favoured nation."
Thus then, Mr. Rose observed, the two countries stand towards each other at this moment. In America all the important articles of manufacture from Great Britain are proscribed, while those of all the rest of the world are admitted, and no exportations from these are permitted. While in Great Britain the Americans are received on the footing of the most favoured nation, and we are supplying them with any thing they will take from us!!
BOSTON, June 30.  MR. ROSE'S SPEECH.
As the experiment of commercial warfare, which was carried on by the United States against Great-Britain, has now been abandoned, and the points in dispute, when it was begun, are left to the result of amicable negotiation, it might perhaps be thought unnecessary or unreasonable to bring upon the carpet any discussion relating to the nature and tendency of that species of hostility. But though we are relieved from the distress of this ill-judged policy, we feel and must long feel many of its pernicious consequences. These we must undergo, and wear them away by patience, industry and politick measures for the future. Our only consolation for past sufferings is the hope, that our young country has not neglected the lessons of experience; and that as passion and party prejudices subside, the ground our government has taken will be viewed in all its relations; and that the dangers we have escaped will teach our statesmen forever, to guard against the recurrence of a similar mistake.
We present our readers with the speech of the senior Mr. Rose: a gentleman whose long established respectability of character, and whose responsibility to his government and country for the correctness of what he here advances, leave us no room to question his facts. And if these are facts, how hopeless, totally hopeless, would have been that contest in which we so confidently embarked, under the auspices of the late president! The facts here detailed and the facts which we all know, as to the effect of commercial restrictions at home, shew, in the most striking point of view, that upon England, the effects of our coercive measures were never but trifling; that their worst were already over; while on the other hand, the effect upon us had already become intolerable, and would have proceeded to rapid and total ruin. If there is the most remote possibility that rulers should ever be led away by a similar infatuation, nothing can be more important, (and nothing more will be necessary to prevent it) than a fair and distinct understanding of the operation of a commercial warfare on our part, upon the two nations, United America and Great-Britain.

FURTHER FROM PORTUGAL.
Since Wednesday, an arrival from Lisbon, has given additional evidence of the change of affairs in Portugal; and food for hope that the patriotic cause in Spain is not so desperate as it has appeared. After the battle of Corunna, marshal Soult overran Galicia, entered Portugal and took possession of Oporto. Soon after it was observed, that his progress had become slow and cautious; and indicated, either that he had become too weak to attempt Lisbon, and was waiting reinforcements, or that some unexpected obstacle, such as want of supplies, sickness, &c. had interposed to check his career. We have no regular details of his operations; but it appears he did not cross the Douro. The English and Portuguese seeing his situation, advanced from Lisbon to harass him. Gen. Beresford, it seems, made a feint to menace the French flank by a detour to the right, and by actually sending a party under the Portuguese general Silveira, across the Douro, near Lamego, 40 miles above Oporto, to drive in the French outposts, and to occupy a position near Amarante, in the rear of the French. Another column, probably commanded by general Wellesley, advanced directly towards Oporto. On the 11th gen. Beresford was at Lamego; on the 12th the combined English and Portuguese forces were at Villa Nova, on the side of the Douro opposite Oporto; where the passage of that river was effected, the French attacked, driven from the banks, compelled to evacuate Oporto, and to take refuge in the highlands towards Galicia. One letter mentions that gen. Silveira was defeated. It is not improbable, that Soult, in his retreat, encountered Silveira, overpowered and defeated him; and that the Portuguese chief was afterwards reinforced by the British, who are strong in cavalry, and that in his turn, he became the victor. As we are well assured, that gen. Romana had been overrunning Galicia; and that the patriots of that province were at length raised to arms, and had taken Vigo; it is not probable that all the courage and generalship of the duke of Dalmaria, tho' it will do much, will be able to extricate him; or prevent the necessity of his surrender.  The accounts by this arrival are more from Spain

FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, Price $7.1-2 Cents. A few Copies of LETTERS, Under the signature of STUART and of A FARMER, Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Ex- ecutive, over the War and other affairs, out of which the President had been, virtually, removed from the North American.
THE Editor's Preface. Great numbers of copies, in free government, have al- ways failed with great success. Thus the public circulation of the paper, that the power of the press has not been turned against the side from which salutary warnings of the dangers and perils of their rights, without which our government could not have been established and continued.
Should we survive the test, prejudice and error, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall again be restored to the timely illustrations of our duty, and the broad devolution of the rights, than to native good sense and unadulterated freedom to liberty the body of the people. We have here another proof, that the American nation is an excep- tion to its kind, as for its civilization, and its un- swerving adherence to national freedom. The late attempts upon both, have revealed the whole story. The spirit has retired, the timid, the wavering, and the deluded, have all been brought into the rank of that phalanx, which is determined to save the country. By such exam- ples, it must be saved.
Among the papers which have powerfully contributed to this conservative storm, is the able and ingenious author of the subjoined letters. His penetrating candour and vigorous argument, have chased away the sophistry and prejudiced delusions, which the base designs of our public affairs, in a conjecture which has involved the life and death of our country, will be long ad- mired. The critic which rated them forth, is alone more interesting than the subject of the writer is venerable, and his capacity equalled.
Since the publication of the first edition of these letters, the public mind has been greatly excited, and the author has been subjected to a variety of attacks, both from friends and foes. He has been accused of partiality, of bias, and of having a secret agenda. But the facts, as presented in these letters, are so clear and so well supported, that they have stood the test of time and scrutiny. The author's candour, in admitting the merits of the opposing side, and his fairness in presenting the whole truth, have earned him the respect of all who have read his work. This edition is brought forward with the same unadulterated text, as it was originally published, with no additions or alterations.
THE EAGLE FIRE COMPANY of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, 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 in- corporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the li- berty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole pur- pose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal pro- perty 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 sa- tisfaction 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 liber- ality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patro- nage of the public.
No insured person will be liable to make good the los- ses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on pro- perty 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, tile, or me- tal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 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 ex- ceeding 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 exceed- ing 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 Cargo, 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 in- crease 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 pre- miums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden build- ings 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 build- ing exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bak- ers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpen- tine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Car- penters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machi- nery, 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 of- fice of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the dis- trict of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and re- port thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just descrip- tion thereof, viz. of what materials each building is construc- ted; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how other- wise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the in- surance 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 manufacture is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or per- sons 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 are charged at a lower premium than is therein 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 de- clared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to co- ver such property.
IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be countersigned by its Seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, 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 made other insurance on the same proper- ty, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at 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, with all reasonable diligence, 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 be void, and be of no effect; and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the pay- ment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage that may be sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may hap- pen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil com- motion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Policies of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.
IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculpturing, 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 as soon after as possible, to deliver in par- ticular an account 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 their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make satisfaction, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circum- stances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or ver- ily believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable:—Also, if there appears any fraud, of
false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to resti- tution or payment, by virtue of this policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment 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 allow- ance 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.

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 contain- ing 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well tim- bered.
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 ri- ver is considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with rail timber, &c.—There 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 order 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 excelled 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 ve- getables 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 situa- tions in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House 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.
