A Great Bargain.
FOR SALE,
FOUR hundred and seventy-three acres of LAND, lying in Berkeley County, Virginia, on one of the main roads leading from Williamsport in Maryland to Winchester in Virginia. About one hundred and sixty acres of this tract are rich bottom, abounding in every species of valuable timber, forty acres of meadow cleared, part in grass, the rest ready for grass seed this spring, and two hundred acres open for farming, secured by strong new fence. This land is uncommonly well watered; 10 or 12 springs which never fail, some of the strongest lime stone water, others soft water; several of these springs in different situations on the public road, have in a short distance from 25 to 45 feet fall of water, handsomely calculated for stills, breweries, tanyards, blacksmith's shops, &c. with a sufficiency of good stone raised, and in place, for building a large distillery. One half of this land is of a strong red lime stone quality, the residue slate; well adapted to any kind of grass, or grain, and in a peculiar manner suited to the use of plaster. A new stone Dwelling House put up last summer, with other necessary buildings. A handsome stream of water runs thro' the centre of this tract, which has worked a saw-mill to great advantage for 15 or 18 years past, affording also a snug seat for a churning mill. A bearing Apple Orchard, young one lately set out, and nurseries of 2000 trees of the choicest fruit, most of them fit for planting out. This farm will admit of a handsome division into two lots, with meadow, wood, springs and farming land to each. It would be needless to enumerate any other advantages, it will be sufficient to say, that nothing but a pressing call for money, could induce the subscriber to offer this property for sale; his terms are moderate, no down part cash, the balance on credit; but to a person who could advance the greater part of the purchase sum, he will throw in 100 acres of grain which promises a very good crop, and give immediate possession, or continue the crop begun, and pay the purchaser 150l. or 400 dollars for the year. Any one from Washington County, Maryland, or Pennsylvania, disposed to purchase, will call on Mr. Joseph Smith, sen. near the Big Spring, Chalmer's tavern, he will show the property, or to the subscriber on the premises.

JAMES & JOHN LANE.
Shepherd's-Town, April 25, 1806.
JOHN ALBURTIS,
Has it in contemplation, if sufficiently patronized, to print an elegant edition of
Addresses to Young Men,
By JAMES FORDYCE,
And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS:
The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in an octavo form, and will contain about 500 pages.
They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $3 25—or $2 half bound, payable on delivery of the work.
They shall be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay: TO THE PUBLIC.
THE present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
THE dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—An intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the minds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
THE above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age,—and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who feel inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.

FROM EUROPE.
On Saturday there were several arrivals from Liverpool; but we have not been able to learn any news of moment, except what is contained in the subsequent speech of Bonaparte, copied from a London paper of March 13th, called "The Statesman."
[Boston Chron.]
SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR AND KING.
On the Opinion of the Legislative Body, March 2, 1806.
"Gentlemen, the deputies from the department of the Legislative body; Gentlemen, the Tribunes, and the Members of my Council of State.—Since your last session, the greatest part of Europe has entered into a coalition with England. My armies have never ceased to conquer, excepting when I ordered them to combat no longer. I have avenged the rights of the feeble states, opposed by the strong. My allies have increased in power and in consequence. My enemies have been humbled and confounded; the House of Naples has irrecoverably lost its crown; the whole of the Peninsula of Italy forms a part of the Great Empire. I, as Supreme Head, have guaranteed the sovereign, and the constitutions that govern the different departments."
"Russia only owes the return of the wreck of her army to the advantages of the capitulation when I granted it. Able to have overturned the Imperial throne of Austria, I have confirmed it. The conduct of the Cabinet of Vienna will be such as will prevent posterity from reproaching me for any want of foresight. I have yielded an entire confidence to the protestations which have been made to me by its sovereign. Besides, the high destinies of my crown do not depend on the sentiments and dispositions of foreign courts. My people will always support my throne, against all the efforts of hatred or jealousy; no sacrifice will be painful to them, to secure that first interest of the country."
"Bred in camps, and in camps that have always been triumphant, I ought to acknowledge that, in the late events, my soldiers have exceeded my expectations. It is pleasing also to me to declare, that my people have also fulfilled the extent of their duties. In the heart of Moravia, I never ceased for an instant to experience the effect of their love and enthusiasm. Never have they given me any marks of their attachment which have penetrated my heart with sweeter emotions."
"Frenchmen! I have not been deceived in my hopes. Your love, more than the extent and the riches of your territory, constituted my glory. Magistrates, Clergy, Citizens, all have shewn themselves worthy of the high destinies of that admirable France, which, for two ages past, has been the object of the leagues and the jealousies of its neighbours."
"My minister of the interior will inform you of the events which have taken place in the course of the year. My council of state will lay before you plans of laws to ameliorate the different branches of the administration. My ministers of finance, and of the public treasury, will lay before you the accounts which they have presented to me. You will perceive by them the prosperous state of our finances. Since my return, I have been incessantly occupied in giving to the administration that spring and activity which give life to the extremities of this vast empire. My people will have no new burthen to bear; but new plans will be proposed to you, respecting the system of finances, the bases of which were established last year. I intend to diminish the impositions which bear upon the land alone, and to replace a part of these charges by indirect duties."
"Through the elements we have lost some ships, after an engagement imprudently commenced. I cannot too much praise the greatness of soul and the attachment which the King of Spain has shown in these circumstances for the common cause. I AM DESIROUS OF PEACE WITH ENGLAND. On my part, I shall never retard that moment, I shall always be ready to conclude it, in adopting for its basis, the stipulations of the treaty of Amiens."
"Gentlemen, Deputies to the Legislative Body, this attachment you have shown to me, the manner in which you have seconded me in the late sittings, leaves me no doubt of your assistance. Nothing shall be proposed to you but that which is necessary to guarantee the glory and safety of my people."
LONDON, March 10.
The fleet for the West-Indies, consisting of about 150 sail, under convoy of six frigates, sailed from the Cove of Cork, on the 3d instant.
There was a report, on Saturday evening, that a new proposition had been made to the Transport Board, for the Exchange of prisoners. It is obvious that the Emperor of the French earnestly desires to obtain the 9,000 seamen, detained in this country. He has no fewer than twenty-seven ships of war, all above 50 guns, on the stocks, which will be launched before Midsummer; and it would be a great thing for him to obtain a lumping exchange of about five for two, which is the exact proportion, as we have about 18,000 French prisoners in England, and there are only 7,000 English in France.
Several conferences have taken place between Mr. Munroe the American Ambassador, and his Majesty's Ministers, relative to the matters in dispute between Great Britain and the United States; and there is every prospect of a speedy and amicable adjustment of all differences. Twenty-five American seamen were discharged on Friday, at Portsmouth, from La Ville de Milan frigate, Sir R. Laurie, lately returned from the Halifax station. An order, we understand, has been received, to discharge all American subjects from our ships.
The Paris papers contain an account of the surrender of the cities of Naples, Capua, Gaeta, and Pescara to the French army. Bonaparte was at the Theatre Francaise, on the 24th ultimo, when the dispatches, announcing these events, arrived; and by his orders, the celebrated actor, Talma, communicated the intelligence to the audience. We announced in a former paper the arrival of Joseph Bonaparte upon the Neapolitan frontier, at the head of the French army. In his progress into that kingdom he divided his army into three corps. The right commanded by General Regnier, marched by Terracina, and the left consisting of the Italian corps, made its way by Itri; while he proceeded in person with the centre, under the immediate command of Marshal Massena, by Gormano and Capua. Gen. Regnier, upon his arrival at Gaeta, summoned the Prince of Hesse, who commanded the place, to surrender. The Prince notified his intention of defending his post to the last extremity. In consequence of this answer, Gen. Regnier ordered an attack to be made upon the redoubt of St. Andre, which he carried after a slight resistance, in which the French General Grigny was killed. On the 12th the centre summoned Capua, and also met a refusal. On the 13th however, deputies arrived from Naples and signed the surrender of Gaeta, Capua, Pescara, Naples, and the forts that command it.
The French general Partonnoaux immediately entered Naples, and on the 15th, Joseph Bonaparte set out for Capua for the same destination. On the 23d of January, the King of Naples embarked for Sicily, leaving his family behind, of whom the hereditary Prince was invested with unlimited powers to act in his absence. Apprised of the approach of the French army, the Prince sent his brother with propositions to Joseph Bonaparte, which being rejected the hereditary prince put himself at the head of the Lazzaroni; and his brother the prince Saint Theodore, endeavoured to raise the people of Abrazza.—Their efforts do not appear to have been seconded by the Neapolitans in general; and, indeed, the Paris papers do not hesitate to admit, that the French had a strong party, both within and without the city of Naples. Under these circumstances no effectual resistance could be made, and the capitulation was signed. As farther evidence of the treachery and cowardice of the Neapolitans we find that the Neapolitan officers had requested liberty to enter the French service. Joseph Bonaparte had formed several Neapolitan corps. He entered Naples on the 15th ult. at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He was waited on by the Colleges of Regency, whom he received in the Royal palace; on the following day he posted the proclamation, signed by the emperor, at Schoenbrunn and that it is said, gave great satisfaction to Naples. The Queen it is stated has carried to Palermo, not only the Royal property, but a great deal of private property.—She has taken ten millions from the Bank of Naples, and most of the families of that city are described as ruined.
The emperor Alexander has assembled a considerable part of a Russian army, of 195,000 men at Warsaw; and
the Porte taking the alarm, had made extraordinary efforts to reduce the insurgent provinces to subjection.
We find that the French army under gen. Angereau has made an irruption into Hussia, and has likewise occupied the Prussian towns of Lippstadt, in Westphalia, and Dethmold in the neighborhood of Pauerborn: and report states, that Hussia is to be revolutionized, and to assume its old title of the kingdom of the Carti. The army of Lefevre is advancing to cover the movements of Angereau, and maintain his communication with the grand French army, which continues along the Black Forest.
The Archduke Charles, who was already Minister at War, and possessed all the influence and patronage in the military department, is appointed Generalissimo of the whole Austrian army, a charge confided to no other since the death of Prince Eugene.
The report that Prussia intended to garrison, Hamburgh, and Lubec, has been officially contradicted.
The French and German papers contain several vague reports of a negotiation for peace between England and France, to be opened at Berlin; but no credit is attached to them.
Count Woronzow arrived in town yesterday. He is said to be the bearer of important dispatches from the emperor Alexander.
NEW-YORK, April 26.
Daring and cruel Outrage.
Last evening, the sloop Richmond, from Brandywine, was fired at by the Leander, and whilst laying to, a ball struck John Pierce, (Brother to the captain) in the neck, as he was standing at the helm, and killed him instantly. Two shots were fired at the sloop, the first about 10 yards off.
The ship Aurora, Fairchild, from the Havanna, belonging to Samuel Russell, was captured off the Hook yesterday, by one of the blockading squadron, after having a pilot on board, and ordered for Halifax.
The brig Ceres, from the West Indies, was captured yesterday off the Hook by the above blockading squadron, and ordered for Halifax.
The three masted schooner Nimrod, Manning, from Curacoa for N. York, was captured yesterday morning off Sandy Hook, by the British ship of war Leander, and ordered for Halifax.
The frigate Cambrai now off the mouth of our harbour, is from Halifax, and the Driver sloop of war from a cruise. The Leander, we understand, will sail for Halifax on Sunday next.
FEDERAL REPUBLICAN MEETING AND MEASURES.
On Saturday, at about noon, the following hand-bill was sent out by the federal committee:
GENERAL MEETING.
A General Meeting of the Federal Republicans of this city is earnestly requested to be held at the Tontine Coffee-House, this evening, at 7 o'clock, to take into consideration the present defenceless state of our harbor, already stained with the blood of one of our fellow citizens.
April 26, 1806.
Before the time appointed, the course was so great, notwithstanding a cold storm of rain from the east, as not only to fill the room appointed, but to block up all the avenues leading to it, and almost the street. Hundreds returned. The business of the meeting was opened in a short speech by Mr. W. Woolsey, who finished by moving that a committee be appointed to prepare a set of resolutions expressive of the objects of the meeting. Mr. King seconded the motion, and addressed the chairman, in substance, as follows:
He observed, that the object of the meeting was to consider the defenceless condition of our port, and the consequent exposure of the lives and property of the inhabitants. A recent instance of violence and outrage, attended by the death of a fellow-citizen, had been committed by a British man of war, at the entrance of our harbor. There was no man, who had an American heart, that did not at the present moment experience the mingled emotions of resentment and humiliation: Resentment against the daring violation of our national territory and honor: Humiliation, that a brave people, who love their country, and are willing to defend it, are altogether rendered unable to do so. Destitute of naval force, and without fortifications, we are exposed to the violence and depredations
of every insolent invader. This state has yielded its revenue, and its citizens are bound to grant their personal services to the general government, which in return is bound to protect us: It is to the general government then that we must look for protection against foreign aggression. We have represented the outrages heretofore committed, and the plunder made within our very port, and on our coast by foreign men of war and armed vessels, and expressed our apprehensions that they would be repeated: We have humbly represented our helpless, our defenceless condition, and ventured to suggest that as our revenue, which is so copiously poured into the national coffers, proceeds from commerce, our navigation, our seamen and our city, had a just claim to be protected: These petitions, humble and reasonable as they were, have been neglected, and the reiterated outrage which we feared, has been committed.
Since the peace of 1783, the Atlantic states, their seaports and merchants, have cheerfully contributed their money for the defence of our brethren who are scattered upon an extensive frontier. An army has at all times been stationed on this frontier to protect the inhabitants against the incursions of the savages; wars have been carried on, treaties have been made, millions have been expended, and millions will hereafter be expended in yielding them this protection. But is not protection equally due to all? Is not the merchant and seaman, the carman, the shipwright and the mechanic, and their occupations as much entitled to the protection of government as any other class of citizens? More than sixty thousand American citizens are seamen; our shipping is worth more than twenty millions of dollars; and our cities which can be approached from the ocean are populous and wealthy.
For these citizens and their lawful occupations it is that we have demanded protection. Hitherto our representations and requests, have been unavailing, for they have not received it. It is now time soberly to consider of, and to adopt, such measures as may be most likely, in our opinion, to obtain redress. All classes of the inhabitants of this city are alike interested in this important enquiry. We must turn our eyes upon the national government for a redress of our wrongs; through whom alone it can be obtained. We must renew our demand for protection, and in my judgment must plainly declare that only suitable fortifications of our harbour supported by a naval force, are adequate to afford to this port and city and its commerce, that security which we are entitled to in common with all other citizens. Had even our present naval force been stationed at the entrance of our harbour, we should not now have to mourn over the blood of a fellow-citizen, wantonly shed by a foreign power, within the territorial limits of our country.
Mr. Woolsey's motion was then put and carried, and the following gentlemen were appointed the committee: Rufus King, Ebenezer Stevens, Oliver Woolcott, William W. Woolsey, and William Henderson, who having retired shortly returned and reported the following, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the citizens of the U. S. are of right, and according to the constitution and laws of the land, entitled to the enjoyment of life, liberty and property; and that it is the primary and most important duty of government to defend, preserve and protect the same.
Resolved, That it is upon the strength and resources of the U. S. that we can alone, under Providence, rely for national safety and the maintenance of national rights.
Resolved, That the repeated outrages committed by foreign ships of war at the mouths of our harbours, merit the resentment and indignation of every friend to his country.
Resolved, That an administration which consents to pay money to avoid foreign insolence, or to prevent the violation of national rights, while it sells and dismantles its naval force, instead of increasing and preserving it for the defence of our ports and commerce, prostrates the national honor, endangers the public safety, and invites both injustice and insult.
Resolved, That the suffering of foreign armed ships to station themselves off our harbour, and there to stop, search and capture our vessels, to impress, wound and murder our citizens, is a gross and criminal neglect of the highest duties of government, and that an administration which patiently permits the same, is not entitled to the confidence of a brave and free people.

Resolved , That the body of merchants who foresaw the impending danger, and petitioned congress and the state legislature to afford protection to this city and its lawful commerce, have merited the approbation of their fellow-citizens.
Resolved , That the memorials of the merchants and citizens to congress, have been neglected, and that we have not perceived on the part of the members of the senate and assembly from this city, such exertions and zeal as were expected from them to engage the interposition of the state legislature, with congress for the protection of our defenceless city.
Resolved , That so long as the British ships of war which have assumed a station at the entrance of this port are suffered to remain there, it is earnestly recommended that no supplies, provisions, or succors of any kind, should be afforded them from our markets, nor any intercourse held with them in any shape whatever, and that our pilot boats should abstain from visiting them.
Resolved , That the murder of John Pierce, one of our fellow-citizens, by a shot from a British ship of war, at the entrance of our harbour, and within half a mile of the shore, while he was engaged in peaceably navigating a coasting vessel, laden with provisions for our market, was an act that excites our detestation and abhorrence, and calls upon our government for the adoption of prompt and vigorous measures to prevent a repetition of such wanton and inhuman conduct, and so flagrant a violation of our national sovereignty.
Resolved , That this meeting approve the conduct of those persons who intercepted the supplies which were sent from this city to those vessels which now blockade our harbour, and who have murdered our fellow-citizen, John Pierce.
Resolved , That we will attend the funeral of the deceased, and that it be recommended to the ships in the harbour to display the customary signs of mourning.
Resolved , That John B. Coles, Ebenezer Stevens, Samuel Mansfield, Robert Bogardus, and Samuel Gedney, be a committee to confer with the friends of the deceased, and make the necessary arrangements in behalf of this meeting relative to his funeral.
Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting be published. CORNELIUS RAY , Chairman. SAMUEL BOYD , Sec'y.
The subscribers being the committee appointed at the meeting of the Federal Republicans, on Saturday evening last, to make the necessary arrangements in behalf of that meeting for the funeral of our fellow-citizen, John Pierce, murdered by a British ship of war at the mouth of our harbour, give notice, that they have waited on a committee of the corporation in whose hands they found the corpse of the deceased, and were informed that the corporation had directed the same to be interred at the expense of the city, this day at 12 o'clock. The services of the committee for this purpose have therefore become unnecessary; but they earnestly recommend to all their fellow-citizens to unite in performing the last offices of humanity towards the deceased, not only for the purpose of manifesting the public sorrow, for the violent and untimely death of a fellow-citizen, but as a solemn and impressive testimony against that system of administration, which, regardless of our humble petitions, withholds all adequate protection from our city and sea-faring brethren, and thereby leaves us and them defenceless and exposed to the violence and depredations of the free booters of the ocean.
EBENEZER STEVENS , SAMUEL MANSFIELD , SAMUEL GEDNEY , ROBERT BOGARDUS . April 28, 1806.
The body of John Pierce, who was murdered on Saturday last by a foreign force in our harbour, was this day, at 12 o'clock, attended to the grave by thousands of our fellow-citizens as mourners. The corpse was preceded by the reverend clergy in white scarfs; next went captain Pierce, brother of the deceased, and the hands belonging to the sloop; then a great number of seafaring men with weeds in their hats, and lastly, our citizens of all ranks, amounting to several thousands.
A pilot-boat, full of well-armed men sailed on Saturday afternoon in quest of the vessels which have been captured at the entrance of Sunday-Hook by the British frigates, who have commenced an actual blockade without any formal declaration of war.—This expedition is
undertaken at the expense of several commercial gentlemen, who have also volunteered their services on the occasion.
A large Petitioner, which had sailed early on Saturday morning with provisions for the blockading squadron, was intercepted by the above pilot-boat, and compelled to return. The populace assembled at the wharf, landed the provisions, loaded several carts therewith and paraded through some of the principal streets to the Alms-house, where the meat was deposited for the use of the poor.

Resolved unanimously , That the money paid by Mr. Jefferson, for the wild lands of Louisiana, would have been better applied in building seventy four gun ships.
Resolved unanimously , That the seamen of America have been too long exposed to attacks, impressment and insult, from all nations, in consequence of the cowardice of our government, and that we are willing and able to defend ourselves, if the government would give us ships.
Resolved unanimously , That we attribute the death of our fellow-seaman, John Pierce, to the want of that protection to which all American seamen are entitled.
Resolved unanimously , That the present ruling party have treated the American seamen with neglect and injustice; that the federal party are our friends, and that they deserve our thanks for their exertions in our favor.
Resolved , That we abhor tribute, and consider it our duty to place men in power who will command a peace, not buy it. PETER BANKER , Chairman.
The British frigates Leander and Cambrian had signals up for pilots the forepart of yesterday: but as none would go on board, they came to anchor in the afternoon at a short distance from the Hook.
Last evening lieut. Coen, of the British ship Leander, with a flag of Truce, arrived at Port Jay.
We learn from lieut. Coen, that the British ships off the Hook, were entirely unacquainted with the death of John Pierce, till Tuesday evening. The boat has come up to procure the release of two officers from their ship, whom they understand, are in confinement.
Letters from Philadelphia state, that dispatches have been received by government from Spain, of a very unpleasant nature.
MARTINSBURG, May 9.
"Millions for tribute, but not a cent for defence"—A government of economy—Wheat a dollar a bushel—Americans insulted by all nations,—and our seamen murdered within half a mile of our shores."
The intelligence we have this day received from New-York, is such as will excite deep sensation in every American bosom—Within view of our own shores, while under the protection of our own laws, have we beheld, by foreign hands, the murder of an American citizen. This event, when the first emotions of indignation, excited by it, shall have passed off, will not be followed by surprize among those who will pause a moment for reflection. The frigate by which this outrage has been committed, is the same that so recently placed, for nearly two months, the harbour of New-York, in a state of blockade—It is the same Leander frigate that boarded a ship, and forcibly dragged away her seamen, while she lay within the acknowledged jurisdiction of our own laws.—An act more humiliating to national sovereignty never took place in any country—I he resentments of the people every where broke forth, and the approaching session of Congress was anxiously looked to, to mark out a suitable atonement for the indignity.—The government, upon that occasion, shrunk from its duty, and neither received nor demanded an indemnity for the wrong. Ought it then to excite wonder that outrages upon us are renewed? When with a temper, servile and spiritless, we put up with insult, and cannot be provoked
to any vindication of our rights, by even the assaults of violence, from whatever quarter, or, with whatever aggravations they may be offered, can it excite wonder that we receive the humiliations we invite? It is folly to expect our insensibility to injury and habits of submission, will be unobserved by other nations. The Leander frigate is a name that must be coupled with the disgrace of the American government, and raise blushes of shame upon the American cheek—Let it spread through the United States, that we have been twice invaded with impunity by this single ship, and our laws insultingly mocked by the destruction of the liberties and lives of those who trusted to their protection.
While seventeen millions have been given, and the national honor bartered for an undefined territory, a scanty appropriation has been reluctantly yielded for the security of our great commercial cities. By the criminal improvidence of government, the property and the blood of thousands on our sea coasts are left exposed, whenever the most contemptible force may chuse to ravage the one or shed the other; and, upon the impression of the intelligence we this day record, it is no strain of probability to say, we may at a date not distant, carry on the history of insult and suffering, by announcing the sudden bombardment and conflagration of one of our capitals. Under the former administration of our government, a system was introduced and a spirit cherished that would have appalled the insolence of searobbers, and placed the U. States in a situation to command by their force, what they could not obtain by their justice. That system and spirit have been checked, [by a pretended regard for economy] and we are now reaping the fruits of the alteration.
[Polit. Register.]
By the ship Caledonia, captain Henderson, arrived at this port last evening from Liverpool, we have received London papers to the 12th of March; which besides furnishing us with very interesting European intelligence, have enabled us to congratulate the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser, and our fellow-citizens generally, on a prospect of a speedy adjustment of our differences with Great Britain; and that the recent change in the administration of the government has already produced one great act of justice to the United States, the release of our unfortunate countrymen who have been impressed into the British navy. [Mer. Adv.]

Woollen and Cotton Manufactory..
THE subscribers respectfully inform their friends, and the public in general, that they are about to erect, and will be ready to commence by the first day of May next, a MANUFACTORY at Mrs. Hunter's mill, in Martinsburg, for the purpose of Carding, Spinning, Fulling, and Dying , where persons applying can get their Wool carded to spin at home, or carded and spun, or carded, spun, woven, fulled, dyed and finished, agreeable to their directions and quality of their wool; to which they solicit the public attention. As but few in this part of the country are acquainted with the nature and usefulness of these machines, it will not be improper to state, that a woman can spin with greater ease twice the quantity of machine rolls in a day, than she can of those of her own carding; beside, they will make much even yarn and better cloth. It is necessary that the wool be brought in a sheet sufficiently large to contain the rolls, with one pound of soft grease to ten of wool; the rolls can be transported any distance without receiving any injury. Beside improving the quality of cloth manufactured at home, it will lessen the expense and labour; which renders its encouragement an object well worthy the attention of farmers and others, who make their own cloth. It will also be of great advantage to hatters to have their wool broke on the machine, as it is much better for their business, and considerably cheaper than having it done by hand. The subscribers flatter themselves, that a generous and patriotic public, will afford them an encouragement equal to the magnitude and usefulness of their business; and assure them that no exertion or attention shall be wanting on their part, to render general satisfaction to all those who may please to favour them with their custom. L. WESTOVER & ROBARTS. April 11, 1805.
N. B. They will also carry on the FULLING and DYING business previous to the manufactory, as is common in this part of the country. They also profess to dye scarlet, or any other colour that exists from that to the common lead colour.

One Plantation, on which is erected the noted stand called the Half-Way House .

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 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.
