VALUABLE
Real Property
FOR SALE,
by the heirs of Michael M c Keirnan, dec'd.
Part of the real estate of said M c Keirnan in the State of Maryland, viz.
A VALUABLE Plantation of rich Lime-stone Land, on the waters of Conococheague, containing about 275 acres. This Land is of the first rate quality, with a number of never-failing Springs of water, a large proportion of good Meadow, with a House, Still House, Barn, &c. also, a number of Fruit trees, and a never failing stream of water running thro' the place; within sight of a Lutheran Church and in the heart of a German settlement. This property is about 9 miles from Hagerstown and 3 from Potomak river, and has a number of merchant mills near it.
Also for sale, in the town of Hancock, on the river Potomak, one House and Lot, well situated for a store or any kind of public business.
In the State of Virginia.
One Plantation, on which is erected the noted stand called the Half-Way House. This Tract contains 266 acres of Land, the whole of which is tillable, and a great proportion cleared; this Land is particularly adapted to small grain. Its situation makes it more valuable than perhaps many stands in the county, being central between Martinsburg and Bath; it abounds with fine Springs, a good Orchard of choice Fruit; the House is large and well calculated for the reception of travellers, a Stable, and an out house for the family separate from the tavern.
Also, 400 acres of Land, within 2 miles of the town of Bath, 20 of which are cleared and under good fence; this Land is of good quality; on the Land is a House and Stable, with good Water and some Meadow.
Also, a small Farm on Sleepy Creek, about 5 miles from Bath; this place is in good order, with a convenient House and Barn, and Meadow well watered, and a good Orchard.
Also, in the town of Bath, that noted stand known by the name of the Coffee House, adjoining the Bath square; this House is the largest and most convenient for the reception of visitors at Bath, having upwards of 20 lodging rooms, a large ball-room, a dining room, dressing rooms, bar room, and a fine Kitchen.
Also, a Lot on which is erected a large Stable, sufficient to contain 40 horses, near the Coffee House, and a small Dwelling House.
Also, a Lot adjoining the Coffee House, on which is erected a two-story log House weatherboarded and painted, with Store Room, Kitchen and Stable.
It is unnecessary to be more particular, as it is presumed any person wishing to purchase, will first view the premises. By paying a reasonable proportion of the purchase money down, the balance will be taken in easy payments. For further particulars inquire of Laurence M c Keirnan, who resides on the first described place in Maryland, to Timothy Monahan in Hagerstown, Ignatius O'Ferrall, on Mill-Creek, Berkeley County, Virginia, or Andrew Goulding, on Potomak river, 5 miles above Bath.
October 25, 1805.
TO BE RENTED.
ON moderate terms, a SAW-MILL on Sleepy-Creek, about half a mile above the ford on the road leading from Martinsburg to Bath. Plank will be taken in payment delivered at the Landing near Leesburg. I would rent it from one to four years, as may best suit the tenant. Application may be made to Maj. John Robinson, Martinsburg, who is authorised to rent it, or to the subscriber in Leesburg.

FOR some time past the subscriber has been considerably injured by some evil minded person or persons, in cutting and breaking down his mill dam, by throwing down his fences, in hunting through his inclosures with bounds, in carrying away his log chains and stealing his dogs, and in committing other depredations unwarranted by law; this is therefore to warn all persons from committing any of the like evil acts in future, as he is determined to prosecute to the utmost penalty of the law, all who may be found so offending, and to inform them, that if they come by night, as has hitherto been their practice, they may risk their lives.
GEORGE TEDRICKS.
Sleepy Creek, Berkeley County, November 29, 1805.
The subsequent extracts are copied from a "Brief Sketch of the origin and present state of the city of Philadelphia," published in the papers of that city.
Philadelphia is the capital of Pennsylvania, and the chief city in the United States, in point of size and splendour; though it now fills up the second rank in respect to commercial importance; the trade of America having latterly flowed more freely into the open channels of the bay of New-York. It must also yield metropolitan precedence to the doubtful policy of a Seat of Government far removed from the centre of wealth and population , the pendulum of national activity, which must long vibrate (perhaps forever) between Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New-York; a chain of commercial cities, whose vigorous impulse is already accelerated by the bold ramifications of turnpikes and canals.
Philadelphia is situated about 40 degrees north of the equator, and 75 west of London; being in the same parallel of latitude with Spain, Italy, and Greece.
Its founder, the benevolent and pacific William Penn, denominated it Philadelphia, or the city of Brotherly Love, from a town in ancient Greece, so named in honour of the fraternal attachment of Atalus and Eumenes; and afterwards famous in the Christian World, for one of the Seven Churches to which St. John addressed his prophetic visions.
The royal grant passed the great seal on the 4th of March, 1681; and in August the following year, the venerable Legislator of Pennsylvania set sail from London, accompanied by a hundred of his friends and fellow professors.
A prosperous gale wafted the Patriarchs of Pennsylvania, in six weeks, to the friendly coast of America; and the Proprietory landed at New-Castle, on the 24th of October.
It is an extensive plain, five miles above the confluence of two navigable rivers, the Delaware and the Schuylkill; the former, though 120 miles from the sea, being there a mile in breadth, and deep enough for vessels of 1200 tons; the latter, half as wide as the Thames at London, being also navigable as high as the site of the town.
Nine streets two miles in length, run east and west, from river to river, and twenty-three, of a mile, intersect them at right angles, from north to south. None of these are less than fifty feet wide, and they distribute the plan into squares. Two main streets of a hundred feet wide, cross each other in the centre and form a Public square.
During the revolutionary war, the Capitol of the struggling Colonies remained stationary, or rather retrograded, under the occupation of the Royal Army, by whom however, the houses were first
numbered, and a floating bridge was thrown across the Schuylkill.
Since the revolution, so happily terminated by the Independence of the U. States, a superb edifice of the Corinthian order, with a majestic portico of six fluted columns of white marble, has been built for the reception of the Bank of the U. States; a vigorous offspring of the Federal Constitution, that had been framed in 1788, and was organised in the following year by the patriotic Washington, on being voluntarily ratified by two thirds of the Thirteen Independent States which then formed the American Union.
The City has since been beautified with an elegant structure, executed in white marble, from the design of an Ionic Temple, for the offices of the Bank of Pennsylvania; and the intersection of the two principal streets is now occupied by a round Tower, for the reception and distribution of the Schuylkill water, raised by machinery to a level of thirty or forty feet above the highest ground in the City.
The streets of Philadelphia are paved with pebble stones and bordered with ample foot ways, raised one foot above the carriage way, for the ease and safety of passengers. They are kept cleaner than those of any city in Europe, excepting the towns of Holland where trade is carried on by canals; and London is the only capital in the world that is better lighted at night. Many of the New Streets have been latterly planted with Poplars, whose rapid growth, and spiral form, peculiarly adapt them to shade the Avenues of a city. Their introduction has already given to some sections the air of Public Walks, for the ornament of which nothing is wanting but Fountains and Statuary.
The private buildings are three stories high; they are built of clear red brick, and ornamented in the new streets with facings, key stones and flights of steps in white marble.
Ever since the operation of the Federal Constitution, four or five hundred houses have been annually erected, no small proportion of which (it is said, not less than two hundred) have been built or caused to be built by a single Citizen, whose well laid plans have greatly improved the town.
Philadelphia, including Southwark and the Northern Liberties, now extends near three miles along the Delaware, and about a mile east and west; and is supposed to contain thirteen thousand houses, and eighty thousand people.
There are in it upwards of thirty churches or meeting houses, in which the various Denominations of Believers perform the homage of public worship, to the common Father of Mankind according to their peculiar forms and persuasions, under the happy system of toleration, secured to all professions, without a legal establishment for any.
Three large Meeting houses are now building in different parts of the City, and stone piers have been erected in the river Schuylkill, for a permanent bridge of three arches, whose gigantic span would have been thought impracticable in Europe, long after the first settlement of Pennsylvania.
The market of Philadelphia, for beef, veal, and mutton, is second only to that of Leadenhall; and its pork, poultry and game, are not inferior to those of the finest climates in the world; though it is excelled by New-York in the articles of fish and fruit.
The City was first incorporated in 1701, before which period it was called the town of Philadelphia; but the Corporation was self elective, and not accountable to the Citizens, according to the exclusive systems of the Mother Country.
On the late suspicious Revolution, this Charter was annulled, and its powers were variously distributed, until in 1789, a Corporation was again regularly organised, by charter, consisting of a Mayor, Recorder, fifteen Aldermen, a Common Council, &c. The latter to be annually chosen by the taxable inhabitants.
The public institutions of Philadelphia are peculiarly numerous and beneficial. They include a University, as well as a competent number of public, private, and free Schools, a Philosophical Socy.

ty, a Museum, a public Library, a Hospital, a Dispensary, one public and two private Almshouses, a College of Physicians, societies for promoting Agriculture, for the encouragement of Arts and Manufactures, for the Abolition of Negro Slavery (a stain of Colonial dependence that still tarnishes the fair escutcheon of American freedom) and for alleviating the miseries of Public Prisons, to whose benevolent exertions is chiefly owing the improvement of the penal code, and the present safety of the inhabitants from the depredations of the unprincipled part of the Community.
Besides these benevolent Associations, there are now in Philadelphia, four chartered Banks, six marine Insurance Companies, two for insuring against fire, and forty-one Printing offices, seven of which publish daily papers, that are in a few days circulated, from Georgia to New-Hampshire, by means of the Post office, which originated in 1775, is the then capitol of the British Colonies, under the auspices of the venerable Franklin, so long the benefactor of his country.
The mint of the United States is still kept at Philadelphia: a Type Foundry has been long established, and printing, coach-making, cabinet work, and ship-building, are carried on to a degree of perfection unrivalled in America, and little exceeded in Europe. But the staple commodity of Philadelphia is flour, of which 400,000 barrels have been exported in a year.
Such is the salubrity of the air of Philadelphia that the births annually exceed the deaths in the proportion of five to three; yet the excessive heat of the summer months, during which the thermometer may be averaged at 72, and some times rise to 93, is so nearly allied to the atmosphere of the burning zone, as readily to receive and propagate the Yellow Fever of the West Indies, of late so frequently introduced into the United States, through perpetual intercourse, feebly restrained by the inadequate operations of local and temporary health laws.
Within the memory of a Gentleman of observation there were but three coaches kept by all the Gentry of Philadelphia; not more than two, or at most three ships arrived once a year with the unrivalled manufactures of Britain; nor were petty sloops fitted out to exchange American flour for West India produce but in shares of one third, one sixth, or even one twelfth, by the then principle Merchants of the place. Without exceeding the bounds of ordinary longevity he has lived to see twelve or fifteen hundred sail annually expedited for every quarter of the Globe, while at home three hundred coaches occasionally display the ease of opulence, or the elegance of luxury.
In 1802, there were four hundred and sixty four—in 1803, three hundred and eighty five—in 1804, three hundred and seventy three dwelling houses erected in the city and liberties—and, during those three years, there were also erected, six buildings for worship; and a number of ware-houses, not included in the foregoing enumeration.
BOSTON, November 20.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
We have accounts from Gibraltar as late as the 5th October. They state, on authority of letters from Spain, that hostilities had commenced near Verona, between the French under Marshal Massena, under the Austrians. No particulars are given. If the French army of Italy, like that of the coast, had set out on its march towards Austria, it is highly probable it was met by part of the Austrian cordon near Verona, which is in the dominions of Austria, formerly belonging to the states of Venice, and as probable that a rencontre ensued. Marshal Massena we know too commanded the army of Italy.
From Gibraltar.—Capt. Breck from Gibraltar, whose ship unfortunately got on shore at Cobasset, last week, brought a paper of October 5, from which the subsequent interesting paragraphs are copied:
GIBRALTAR, October 5. IMPORTANT ORDER.
The following copy of an order sent by the Spanish government to the commandant of marine, at Algeziras, has been received by several respectable mercantile houses in this place; and altho' the omission of the names, both of the writer and of the persons to whom it is addressed, has made us hesitate whether we should insert it, until we found it published in the Madrid Gazette, yet its importance, and the assurances we have received from good authority, that its
authenticity has been verified on the spot by persons interested in the inquiry, have induced us to give it a place in this number.
The director-general of the navy, in a letter of the 25th of last month, writes to the commandant general as follows:
His excellency the secretary of state and of the marine communicates to me the following royal order of yesterday:
MADRID, September 3, 1805.
Most Excellent Sir,
His excellency, the minister of the United States, has complained of new grievances and captures of American vessels by the Spanish privateers; and that eleven Americans have been carried into Algeziras, under pretence, as it is stated, that they were carrying English merchandise—which having been laid before his majesty the king, he has been pleased to order, that if there is no other motive for the capture of said vessels but the one alleged by the American minister, they should be immediately liberated, as, by the fifteenth article of the treaty with the United States the American flag covers the goods on board although they be enemy's property; but, have they been detained from any other motives, the suits are to be decided with the utmost dispatch according to the established laws—which I communicate to your excellency, according to the royal order, that you may make it known to the heads of departments of the navy, that they may communicate it to the commandants of marine and to the owners of privateers, who, after receiving due notice, shall be responsible for any injustice which may be sustained through them.
[This news is corroborated by the late advices from Bayonne. We are uncertain who performed the functions of American minister. Mr. Pinckney whose commission has been superceded was at Madrid. It is probable the United States have a charge d'affaires there.—Possibly Mr. Erving.]
London, September 30.
RUSSIAN WAR PREPARATIONS.
The Russian emperor, in his declaration to the court of Vienna, has avowed that he has sent two armies into Gallicia of 50,000 men each. Those armies at the last dates, were making forced marches; and it was expected by the middle of October, would form a junction with the Austrians.
A third army was said to have assembled near Wilna (formerly Poland) and was to be commanded by Alexander I. in person. The Russian Imperial Guards under the Grand Duke Constantine, (brother of the emperor) were marching thro' Lithuania, for the Austrian States.
The veteran general Kutusoff was at the head of one of the armies; Prince Panceration, and Baron Winzengerode, names of celebrity, accompany these troops. General Michelson commanded another army.
Troops from the Kuban, Siberia and Kiow, will form bodies of reserve. The regular troops of Russia exceed 50,000 men.
One of the Russian armies was at Brody in Gallicia (about 300 miles from Vienna) the 20th August. The other was not far behind.
Thirty thousand Russians embarked at St. Petersburg, the 28th August, bound to Swedish Pomerania.
The Russian troops in the Ionian islands exceed 30,000, and were daily augmenting by recruits from the Black sea, which pass the Channel of Constantinople without any hindrance. One division, lately arrived, was commanded by Gen. Gerdue, a Frenchman; and a division of 12,000 was ready for embarkation at Odessa and Sebastopol. It is a fact, that no less than 12,000 tons of transport shipping had been provided by Great Britain, and were at the disposal of the Russian Commander at Corfu. We have no doubt the next news we have from this quarter, will be the transportation of these troops from the Seven islands to Ancona, or perhaps Venice, or Trieste.
FRENCH WAR PREPARATIONS.
These preparations are on a large scale; and extend from Otranto, at the extremity of Italy, to Hanover, on the North of Germany.
The Grand Army, about the middle of September, was assembled on the banks of the Rhine; composed of 140,000 men, commanded by the Emperor NAPOLEON I. in person; assisted by his brother-in-law Marshal Prince MURAT; Marshal BEATHIER, (Minister of War) Louis BONAPARTE, Generals OUDINOT
and MARMONT. The emperor was at Strasburg the 16th September.
The army in Italy is commanded by Marshal MASSENA, who arrived at Milan, his head quarters, the 7th August. He has with him, of name, Marshal JOURDAN, and Gen. ST. Cyr. This army, though stated at only 50,000 men, in M. TALLEYRAND's note was to be augmented to 120,000.
A southern army of Observation was to assemble near the Pyrenees, under Marshal ANDREAU.
The Grand French army of Reserve has three head quarters, Boulogne, Mayence, and Strasburg—Marshal BRUNE commands at the first, Senator Marshal LARREIER at the second; and senator Marshal KELLERMAN at the third.
Three living camps of Grenadiers will rendezvous at Rennes, Napoleon, and Alexandria, under three Brigadier Generals.
The emperor's speech in the Senate.
Senators.—In the present circumstances of Europe, I feel the necessity of appearing in the midst of you, and of making known to you my sentiments.
"I am about to quit my capitol to put myself at the head of my army, to carry a speedy succor to my allies and to defend the dearest interest of my people.
"The wishes of the external enemies of the continent are accomplished: war has begun in the heart of Germany. Austria and Russia have united with England; and our generation is drawn anew into all the calamities of war. A few days ago, I still hoped that peace would not be disturbed; menaces and outrages found me impassable; but the Austrian army has crossed the Inn, Munich is invaded, the elector of Bavaria is driven out of his capitol; all my hopes are vanished.
"It is at this instant that the wickedness of the enemies of the continent has unveiled itself. They were yet apprehensive of the manifestation of my profound love of peace; they were apprehensive lest Austria at the sight of the abyss which they had dug under her footsteps, should return to sentiments of justice and moderation; they have hurried her into war. I am grieved at the blood it will cost Europe; but the French name will obtain a new lustre from it.
"Senators, when at your desire, at the voice of the whole French people, I set the Imperial crown upon my head, I received from you, from every citizen, the engagement to maintain it pure and undefiled. My people have given me in every circumstance proofs of their confidence and their love. They will fly under the colors of the emperor and of his army, which in a few days will have passed the frontiers.
"Magistrates, soldiers and citizens, all wish to maintain the country free from the influence of England, who, if she prevailed, would grant us only a peace surrounded with ignominy and shame, and the principal conditions of which would be the burning of our fleets, the filling up our ports, and annihilation of our industry.
"All the promises I have made to the French people, I have kept. The French people, in their turn, have taken no engagement with me that they have not surpassed. In this circumstance, so important for their glory and mine, they will continue to merit the name of great people with which I salute them in the midst of the fields of battle.
"Frenchmen, your emperor will do his duty, my soldiers will do theirs, you will do yours."
Hamburg, September 18.
The Swiss have applied to the American and French governments for permission to remain neutral; but their request has been rejected on both sides. The Austrians, however, are expected to be the first to take possession of that country.
NAPLES, August 13.
No new shocks followed the tremendous earthquake of the 26th of July, and the public mind became somewhat more tranquil. Within these few days, however a violent noise was heard in Vesuvius, which indicated a fresh scene of horror.
The inhabitants of the towns of Torre del Greco and Annunziata, situated at the foot of the Mountain, fled with the most valuable of their property. Yesterday, about half past nine o'clock at night, an extremely violent eruption of Vesuvius took place, from the crater which was opened in the year 1794.
The lava quickly spread over the plain, to the distance of four Italian miles, and proceeded towards the sea, which it reached about three in the morning. It di-
vided at its origin, in two branches, one menaced Portici, but fortunately turned off again, and united with the other branch; so that the fiery stream formed a kind of Island.
At the spot where it discharged itself into the sea suddenly arose a promontory of volcanic matter. The whole of the district covered with lava was in a flame for twenty minutes, and exhibited an awfully magnificent Spectacle; the blazing trees burning with a white, and the lava with a red flame.—When the river of lava reached the sea it began to foam horribly and vast whirls of water and fire produced by the two contending elements, were presented to the eye of the spectator. Many of the inhabitants of Portici saved themselves by water But the place remained uninjured by the lava; though its current passed so near it not a single person perished. It is hoped that this eruption of the volcano, will secure us from farther earthquakes.
The damage sustained by the vineyards from the torrent of Lava is estimated at sixty thousands ducats, many naturalists are of opinion that several provinces of the kingdom are entirely undermined, and that they will consequently sink at some further period, and be overwhelmed by the sea.
NEW-YORK, November 22.
There was a great bustle on 'Change yesterday, on news said to have been received from Cadiz. It was stated that Lord Nelson had attacked the combined fleets in Cadiz Bay, taken 17 sail of the line, and disabled the rest, and that early in the action Lord Nelson received three wounds, but at his own request, during the engagement, he was placed in an armed chair on the quarter deck, where his head was shot off by the enemy. Who set this fabrication afloat we dare not, at present, mention.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Nautilus, dated Gibraltar Bay, 20th September.
"I at this time belong to the schr. Nautilus, which schr. was sent with dispatches from Tunis to Algiers. A few days before our arrival at Algiers the Dey was put to death by the soldiers: the prime minister and secretary, and Hean the king of the Jews—which Jew was in possession of eighteen millions of money. The way in which these persons were put to death, would be too tedious to describe; I saw the secretary hanging; he was eased down on a large iron pike, which run up his body, with a rope round his neck; in which situation he was to remain three days. On our arrival they fired a salute of 21 guns, which was immediately answered by the schr. and in a short time we received a present of three bullocks, five sheep, fruits, bread, eggs and vegetables of all descriptions natural to the country.—There are many merchant ships from America in this port condemned at this time. It is impossible almost for merchant ships, bound to an English or Spanish port, up the Mediterranean, to escape the vengeance of one or the other of the nations. The Spanish army are at this time encamped at St. Roches, and is every day expected to attack the rock of Gibraltar."
PHILADELPHIA, November 21.
It is reported in town that Lord Nelson has had an engagement with the French and Spanish fleets in the harbour of Cadiz; that both parties sustained considerable loss; and that Lord Nelson himself was killed. How far the story is entitled to credit we have not been able to ascertain.
Extract of a letter from Algiers, dated 28th July, 1803.
"In my last I mentioned the murder of the great Jew Busnach by a Turkish soldier in this city the 20th ult. and the next day the soldiers rose in a body and killed every Jew they met with and plundered their houses. From that time to this the city has been in a perfect state of rebellion—the soldiers setting the Dey and all authority at defiance. To add to this state of wretchedness, the whole country of Moors (from Fremeton to Constantine) have risen up in arms against the Turks, being determined to shake off their yoke.
"Fremeton has long since been taken by the Moorish army, and accounts state that Oran cannot hold out much longer, being out of provisions, and deprived of the necessary supply of water. Every vessel that goes there the Dey detains, to be ready to take off the Turks when they can hold out no longer.
"The city of Algiers has given Oran

a partial relief at times with grain; but can do no more for the present, as the want of that article here is a source of the greatest troubles. Nothing of the provision kind can be had from the neighbourhood of the city of Algiers, as the Moors are all in arms waiting the fate of Oran; after which it is beyond doubt, they will turn their whole force to this place; therefore all the grain that can be found near the city is conveyed in by order of the Dey.—The Turkish soldiers to a man left their barracks the 26th inst. and marched out of town contrary to the orders of the Dey, where they held a secret conference of three hours and then returned to town again.
On the 27th inst. the soldiers as before held another conference—the result is unknown—but the Dey, Divan, &c. are in the greatest alarm for their own safety, and are constantly in session in the palace.
'Tis conjectured the soldiery intend to destroy the present, in consequence of the Dey having strangled two principal soldiers, for outrages committed on the Jews, and create a new set of rulers. The conduct of the Dey, &c. establishes this idea in the strongest point of view, as they have taken a great care of themselves by doubling the palace guards, &c. and closing all the street gates at sunset—these are never shut but in times of real danger—the city gates are always shut at dark; but these precautions will not answer the end intended. Destruction is on the wing. Thus sir, you may see what Algiers is at present—beset within and without by her own subjects, it is supposed a short time will bring to pass such scenes of horror as have heretofore been unknown in Algiers."
RICHMOND, Nov. 19.
We should presume that the frigates lately arrived from the Mediterranean and the greatest part of our disposable marine force, will be destined to the neighbourhood of the Havana or the mouth of the Mississippi; for we have little doubt in case of war between Spain and the United States, that a detachment will be sent out from Cuba, and that New Orleans will be the point of their attack. Relying upon the misrepresented disaffection of the inhabitants, the Spanish Court may indulge some unfounded expectations that this ill disciplined and embezzled detachment may conquer and defend this important post. The file of New Orleans papers which we received by yesterday's mail contains no more than the following interesting articles respecting the dispositions made at New Orleans to meet the probable exigency of the times.
New Orleans, October 5.
His excellency governor Claiborne and suite returned to this city late last evening, from a tour through the counties of German Coast, La Fourche, Acadian, Iberville, Point Coupee, and Concordia,—and this morning his arrival was announced by a federal salute. We are happy to have it in our power to state that his excellency has entirely recovered from the fever with which he has been afflicted.
We are happy to have it in our power to announce the arrival here on Wednesday last, of two companies of United States' troops commanded by captains Sparks and Bissel. We think that about ten companies more, would be amply sufficient to meet any exigency.
Head-quarters, St. Louis, Sept. 20, 1805. GENERAL ORDERS.
Before a general court martial, of which lieut. col. Freeman was President, held at New Orleans, on the first and continued to the tenth of July, 1805, Colonel Thomas Butler, of the second Regiment of Infantry was tried on the following charges, viz.
CHARGE 1st. Wilful, obstinate and continued disobedience, of the General orders of the 30th of April, 1801, for regulating the cut of the hair, and also disobedience of the order of the first of February, 1804.
Specification. By refusing to conform the cut of his hair, to the general order of the 30th of April, 1801, as directed in the order of the first of February, 1804, contumaciously resisting the authority of those orders, after he had been tried by a general court martial, found guilty of a disobedience of the general orders of the 30th April, 1801, and sentenced to be reprimanded in general orders.

The Court having maturely weighed and considered what hath appeared before them in evidence, during the course of the prosecution, as well as what the prisoner, colonel Thomas Butler, hath urged in his defence, are of opinion that he is guilty of wilful, obstinate, and continued disobedience of the general order of the 30th of April, 1801, for regulating the cut of the hair, is also of disobedience of the order of the 1st of February, 1804, as set forth in the first charge and specification, whereon he has been arraigned; the court also finds him guilty of mutinous conduct, in appearing publicly in command of the troops at the city of New Orleans, with his hair cued, in direct and open violation of the general order of the 30th of April, 1801, and 1st of February, 1804, as stated in the second charge, and part of the second specification; and thereupon, they do in consequence adjudge, and sentence him to be suspended from all command, pay, and emoluments for the space of twelve calendar months, to commence from and immediately after the promulgation of this sentence.

Washington City, November 30. Many of the members of both houses have arrived in the City of Washington and George Town. It is the opinion of some, and the hope of all that a quorum of both houses will be formed the first day. All ears are open, and expectation is on tiptoe for the President's Message, which no doubt will be full of information, full of spirit, of marrow and fat things.
The United States' frigates Congress and John Adams , and the brig Horner , have arrived at the Navy Yard Washington. They fired salutes when passing Mount Vernon and Alexandria , and on their arrival at Washington.
Extract of a letter from an intelligent gentleman in Bordeaux, to his correspondent in Baltimore, dated October 2, 1805.
"The continental war, which has again burst out, has filled the country with alarm and dismay. The government, notwithstanding its threatening and high sounding words, is evidently taken by surprise, of which there can be no better proof than the re-establishment of the national guard, and the conscription demanded of 80,000 men; under the color of which latter, perhaps 150,000 persons will be dragged from their homes and occupations by force, to be slaughtered, they know not for what reason. The taxes paid, and levied with unrelenting rigor, are brought to the highest pitch; and it is more than probable that the system of finance is so disordered, that a national bankruptcy will again take place, and that too before long. A dozen sheets would not suffice to recapitulate the grievance, I have heard bitterly spoken of since I came here. They are always concluded by the observation, that they are merited—that they are a just punishment for the crimes of the revolution."
MARTINSBURG, December 6,
Departed this life on the evening of the 30th ult. the Rev. Mr. LEVI HEATH , after a lingering illness of many weeks (a nervous fever) which he sustained with exemplary patience and resignation. To the writer of this article he was personally known only a very few years; but those were marked by the zealous discharge of his active duties; amidst circumstances which eminently required the exertion of Christian fortitude. He exercised the functions of a minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and teacher of a private school, in different parts of the U. States; and last of all he
killed those respectable occupations in this parish. He was a native of England; and, like the most of his countrymen, retained a strong predilection for the place of his nativity; tho' a good citizen in that of his adoption. Amidst toilsome exertions to obtain a bare living, in a country not remarkable for a liberal support of his profession; oft did his mind cast a longing retrospect upon the scenes of his early days. Often did he cheer himself, and entertain his friends in the hours of innocent relaxation, with lively pictures, (copied from the impressions of faithful memory) which proved that his heart possessed a feeling capacity to participate in the happiness of his fellow men. To him it was denied to revisit the place of his nativity; but dying in a far distant land—the "not among strangers"—he remembered his beloved country. He has gone where the "weary are at rest;" and will, no doubt, inherit the reward of the "faithful servant."
He has left a widow and several children to lament the loss of their only support.

— Et dulce moriens reminiscitur argos.
From the Post Folio.
It is very evident that Pleasure, when it has run its career, sets us down very nearly where it found us. Pleasure of every kind quickly satisfies; and, when it is over, we relapse into indifference, or rather we fall into a soft tranquility, which is tinged with the agreeable colour of the former sensation.
Curiosity is the most superficial of all the affections; it changes its object perpetually; it has an appetite which is always very sharp, but very easily satisfied; and it always has an appearance of giddiness, restlessness and anxiety.
From the Literary Tablet.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
SO oft, in every clime, in every age, In public, private, from the press and stage, Have human frailties, those by nature giv'n, Born at our birth, and sanction'd e'en by Heav'n, Been held as crimes, crimes of the blackest dye, And each mistake been constru'd for a lie. That no one act, or right, or wrong, has stood, By all uncensur'd and approv'd as good.
One scorns the hero, boastful of his scars, One rushes headlong to the field of Mars; That cries, "hold murd'rer, let thy rage be still 'Tis God's command to man," "thou shalt not kill!" This "cowards, rouse, rouse hush these dread alarms, The foes at hand, thy country calls to arms." Each for himself, whatever we pursue, Has some excuse, sophistical, or true. Some ancient adage, or some polish'd lay, To prove the righteous tenor of his way.
We'll in religion view the zealous throng, In reason weak, but in persuasion strong: One says 'tis thus,' another says 'tis so,' A third, 'I'm right,' a fourth responds 'no.' A fifth, 'hear me,' a sixth 'attend my call.' A seventh, 'stop, stop,' an eighth condemns all. Each aims at truth—each wishes to be blest. Now who is right?—shall one condemn the rest?
Shall one, while thousands think a different way, Turn a deaf ear, and spurn at all they say? This must not be;—(we would not scepticise, Nor deal in doubts, to be accounted wise;) But common sense declares this truth is clear, That he's upright who always acts sincere; Reason and conscience both combine to tell, That he, who strives to do his best, does well.
Must difference of opinion then destroy
The poor man's hope, the Christian's only joy! That sacred spring of all important truth, The staff of age, the ornament of youth? Possess'd of which man draws his latest breath, In hope of bliss, and even a mile at death. Of which depriv'd, with all his worldly show His happiest days are misery and woe! Say, must, O must religion be decry'd, The friend of him, who has no friend beside? Forbid it, Heav'n—O charity descend On wings of love, and all thy influence lend; Teach man th' important lesson how to live, To love, not hate, to suffer and forgive.

THOMAS NEILSON, & Co. Martinsburg, December 6, 1805.
IN the county of Berkeley, and state of Virginia, is wanted a Minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to officiate at three places of public worship in said county, sufficiently convenient to each other. The members of said Church have obtained subscriptions amounting nearly to five hundred dollars for the support of a minister, which, for a man who can come well recommended for piety and morality, and sufficiently possessed of oratorial powers to enable him to please the people, there is every reason to believe, will be increased and rendered permanent, to be paid semiannually; as the subscribers will use every exertion for that purpose; to either of whom application may be made. Any person who should apply, will be requested to exhibit a certificate of his ordination in the said Church, and sufficient recommendations as abovementioned.
