PROPOSALS,
By BIRKEN MADAN, For publishing by Subscription, that celebrated Work,
Godwin's Political Justice.
From the 1st London Edition.
It will be published in two large volumes, duodecimo.
Price to Subscribers, two dollars, handsomely bound, to be paid on delivery of the work.
As soon as a number of Subscribers appear, sufficient to defray the expence, it shall be put to press.
The names of the Subscribers shall be prefixed.
The following Character of this work is extracted from the Monthly Review, p. 311, 312, for March, 1793.
"We have no small degree of pleasure in announcing the present work to our readers; as one which from the freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the fortitude of its principles, is eminently deserving of attention. By this eulogium, we would by no means be understood to subscribe to all the principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge is not yet arrived at that degree of certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think alike on all subjects; neither has language attained that consistent accuracy, which can enable them to convey their thoughts, even when they do think alike, in a manner perfectly correct and intelligible to both. These difficulties are only to be overcome by a patient, incessant, and benevolent investigation. Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are erroneous: but that which ought to endure it even to those whose principles it may offend, is the strength of argument adduced in it to prove, that peace and order most effectually promote the happiness after which political reformers are panting: that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate; and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to individuals (for that result comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the opposite of this principle that inspires the enemies of political enquiry with so much terror; it is the supposition that change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the intervention of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully illustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple first to enquire into present evil, through its essential branches, and next to demonstrate future good."
"Dividing his work into eight books, and making the importance of political institutions the subject of the first, he begins by an attempt to prove the omnipotence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend."

From the Minerva.
NEW-YORK, June 15.
It is a remark worthy of notice, that the strength of opposition to the administration of our government, lies with the people of little or no property! This remark will be best illustrated by reference to the number of votes for Senators and Assemblymen at the late election.
In the city and county of New-York, the votes for Senators in the federal interest averaged for each candidate 1140—but for the opposition candidates only about 575. That is, among persons possessing freeholds of the value of 100l. the qualification of Senator votes, the federal ticket had, within a few votes, two to one against the other ticket.
In the ticket for Assemblymen, no property being required to entitle a resident to vote, the federal ticket had the advantage of less than 300 votes out of 2284; about a seventh.
In another view, the difference is equally remarkable. The votes for federal Assemblymen were about 2250, on an average—for Senators only 1140. That is, more than half the votes for the federal ticket, are persons who have freeholds of 100l. value.
For the opposition members of assembly, the votes averaged about 1740—for the Senators only 575, or less than a third—so that more than two thirds of the voters for the opposition ticket, have no real property of any value.
From the beginning of government to this day, the fact has been invariably the same—faction has found materials to work with among the poor and ignorant.
Indeed it cannot be otherwise—ambitious men cannot make tools of the well-informed, and, in general, people of property are better informed than the labouring poor, who have had no advantages of education. Hence when we see men setting up for the friends of the poor, and making a proclamation about their patriotism, they are to be set down, dangerous men—men not to be trusted.
When petitions were circulated in this city in favor of the Treaty, the Argus told us, "That was not the way to obtain the sense of the people." The election was then to be the criterion of public opinion.
As the election resulted in favor of the friends of government by large majorities—one solitary Senator and some dozen or fifteen Assemblymen, out of more than a hundred, being all that opposition can boast of—it is desired to know whether the Argus will now admit the election to be the criterion of public opinion and the sense of the people.
Extract from
MR. FINDLEY'S VINDICATION.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette of June 17.
"Having an opportunity of a waggon starting that day to Greensburgh which I did not expect again during my continuance in the city, I had prepared to send up a trunk with a variety of goods for my family and some of my neighbours, but left the charge of it with a boy to have it secured and brought to the waggon, and he not being able, to close the trunk so as to lock it, left it in Market street open, but hoping that the vote would be taken without further discussion, I declined paying any attention to the goods, though called on for that purpose, till it appeared almost certain that the question would not be taken till the time of adjourning, if at all that day. It is well known that when once a discussion commences with us on any important question the vote is rarely taken till near or after the usual hour of adjournment. The vote on the call for papers relative to the treaty, though it had been discussed nearly three weeks, was not taken till after three o'clock. Capt. Robert Dickey, of Greensburgh, and Mr. Stonemetz, a respectable merchant in Philadelphia, can testify whether my call to go out was not urgent, and whether I was not anxious to return before the vote would be taken."
"Before I went out I observed the gentleman who had newly taken the floor branch out his argument in such a manner as to induce me to expect a long discourse, but not trusting to my own opinion, I consulted two other members viz. Mr. Gregg and Mr. Gillespie, who thought I might safely go out. I did not expect to be detained half an hour; but the member who was speaking dropped his argument so suddenly, that Mr. Page, with whom I conversed at the outside of the door as I went out, did not get in till the question was called and but barely in time to answer to his name. In other public bodies a member may have his vote taken if he appear before the result of the vote is stated, or even afterwards, if his vote does not change the state of the question, but by our rules the name is not admitted if the member does not answer when his name is called in course. Mr. Sedgwick, the member who was on the floor, is as seldom chargeable with disappointing the house of a long argument when he takes the floor, as I am from being absent on an important vote. When he took the floor on the call for papers, though the house waited till after the usual hour of adjournment, he told me he had not gone half through with his argument; and I appeal to the journals of all the public bodies in which I have ever sat, and to those who have sat with me in those bodies, to testify if ever it was my practice to avoid a question. It is known that I have voted on questions of still greater importance than a British treaty, and in circumstances more untoward than appeared on this occasion, for notwithstanding the pains that was taken to promote agitation, there was no mobbing in the lodgings, nor hissing in the galleries during the treaty discussion."
Extract from the Pittsburgh Gazette, of the same date.
"It has been insinuated in "extracts of letters" that Findley did not leave his place for the purpose of evading the responsibility of a vote; but, that, not expecting the question to be taken to immediately, he was absent for a short space of time on an emergency of some business of his own which demanded his attention. This is not so honorable for the representative. His presence was due to the public from the first moment of the session of the house to the last; and on those days especially when every moment was pregnant, if I may so express it, with taking the question, the absence of a moment was unpardonable on any other principle but necessity of nature itself, sickness, &c. The discipline of the Senate is not like that of the field, where deletion of a post occurs trial and punishment, in some cases capital; yet in the moral nature of the act, there is a great offence, and dereliction of duty. A want of punctuality in small affairs, lessens respectability, and destroys the confidence of trust; but in great affairs it ruins all character totally, and becomes a crime. A crime also of a mean nature, which draws with it contempt. I would rather have had it said of me, that I had been bribed by the French minister to leave the house, and had received a trunk of louis d'ors for the succumbency, than that I had been absent for the purpose of sending home a trunk, filled with less valuable articles of my own. For it would involve in itself some compliment, that I had been worth bribing, and in the one case I should be thought great, though a villain. In the other, I should, in no respect, have either vulgar or philosophical opinion on my side. If I were at the head of a party, and one of my men should desert me at such a juncture, and for such a cause, I would cashier him from my politics for ever."
"I admit that our representatives Gallatin and Findley have shown courage in resisting the sense of this country, expressed by the petitions; yet not so much as may at first view appear. They have been in the habit of considering the country as but an automaton in their hands, the machinery of the public intellect moved and impelled by them at pleasure; and in fact they have had considerable reason, Findley especially, to entertain such ideas. The treaty bias might have been considered by them as a temporary derangement, which, when they came home, they could easily set right."
"I do not charge it to these representatives as any effect of their management; but the fact is, that abroad, there is nobody thought of any consequence in this country but themselves, and that they have what amounts to a disrepute of representation from the people. Our petitions, therefore, could not answer the purpose of fulfilling an apology for these men with their party, for deserting their side, as in the case of Mr. Smith of Maryland, and several other members; for it would be naturally laid to them, will you be governed by that country, which you have so long governed? It is a rebellion that is on foot; act with your wonted independence, and teach it to be dependent."
From the Aurora of Saturday.
NEW-THEATRE.
It must afford pleasure to the friends of merit to observe, that the Benefit of Mr. Chalmers is fixed for Monday evening next. The unremitted exertions of this gentleman since he left joined the new Company (having performed at almost every benefit from that time) entitle him to public notice; added to this, his distinguished talents as an actor and his personal merit, it is expected, will induce the citizens of Philadelphia to give him positive proofs of their satisfaction at seeing him again on the Theatrical Boards of this City, by attending at the benefit of him who is so universally esteemed and admired.
The pieces selected for that evening's entertainment have very great merit. The Tragedy of the REVENGE, is considered as ranking among the first rate pieces on the English Stage. It was written by the Reverend Dr. Young, (the well known author of the celebrated Night Thoughts) and is esteemed as the best of all his dramatic writings. Its diction is chaste and elegant, and the characters highly wrought. The principal character, that of Zanga, which it is expected will be done by Mr. Chalmers, is admirably suited to his powers, and it cannot be doubted that his performance of it will afford general satisfaction. The MOCK DOCTOR is considered as an excellent after-piece, abounding with genuine wit and humour, well calculated to excite the affable faculties of the audience and dispel the melancholy fensations inspired by the sanguinary vengeance of Zanga. It is therefore hoped, that, on this test of public approbation, and with so many powerful inducements to attend the Theatre, Mr. Chalmers may be gratified on Monday evening, by meeting with a crowded house.

It bears nearly W. from the westernmost spring of the head waters of the Liber, distant therefrom about 1 1/2 of a mile. The situation is remarkably healthy, and every part of the land is well watered—has a great abundance of the choicest fruit: about 80 acres are in wood, and there are about 50 acres of meadow-ground, great part thereof can be watered, and the whole laid down in Timothy-grass at a small expense. There are several beautiful emenences on it: one of the heights commanding a most beautiful and extensive prospect—To the south, you have a full view of the city of Washington, the town of Alexandria, and the river Potomac, as far as the eye can reach. To the north, a full view of the Sugar-Loaf Mountain, distant about 35 miles, with the surrounding country. To the West, a very extensive view of the lands in Virginia: the whole forming a grand rural Amphitheatre. Any person inclined to purchase, will find on viewing the situation, that the Landscape is far superior to the sketch given of it in this advertisement.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1796.
There is a Letter in town received by this day's mail from New-York, dated Antigua, May 31, which informs that St. Lucia is taken by the British.
Mr. Ames's Speech is more generally and extensively published through the United States, than any other ever delivered in Congress.
Some weekly papers by the aid of a supplement have given the whole in one publication. In the state of Virginia particularly, by far the greater number of the Gazettes contain the republication of the above Speech. This among millions of others may be noticed as "Evidence of animosity to the administration of our government."
It is laughable, says a correspondent, to see the Aurora republishing from the Philadelphia Gazette and other papers, their accounts from Hispaniola of the arrival at the Cape of 30,000—37,000—15,000—5000—1800—1200, &c. &c. &c. French troops, when the same Aurora had before announced from French authority, the fountain head of intelligence, that the French Republic did not intend to send to their West-India colonies, European soldiers to be destroyed by the climate!!! and this assertion was published after the arrival of the Secretary General directly from the Cape. This is sporting with public credulity a la mode de change alley!

FRANCE.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Tuesday, April 12.
Thibaudeau, in the name of the Commission, charged with making a report upon the troubles in the South, proposed to defer the report; and wishing to serve the passions of no party, was desirous of sending a message to the Directory for more positive information.
Bentabole. The Commission has said nothing of the purpose for which it was formed. It was not established to foment the abominable anarchy of the South. The legislative body should at length open its eyes. It should not suffer assassins to go unpunished; and as long as there remains one murderer to punish, so long will I demand punishment from this assembly.
Several voices at once—they must all be punished. Great agitation in the hall.
Bentabole. I do not dissemble, that the spirit of vengeance which manifests itself is the precursor of new troubles, and we cannot calculate their extent. But the Constitution has consigned to the Directory alone the necessary powers to preserve the public tranquility. Nevertheless the legislative body ought not to remain an indifferent spectator of what passes.
I demand, that the Directory present you exact documents of the situation of the South, and that a new commission be appointed to draw up a message, in which the Directory shall be invited to take measures to stop the assassinations which stain the South, and to inform us what it has already done to that effect.
Several voices demanded, that the discussion be closed.
Inard demanded in vain to be heard in the tumult, which forced him to leave the tribune. Indignation was painted upon his visage, and he menaced, both with voice and gestures, members who retorted his acrimony and his action.
The President put on his hat. This signal of public danger calmed them for a moment; but it gave way to more violent agitation upon the sight of Jourdan in the tribune. He implored as a favor to be heard; but he could not obtain it, and descended the tribune with visible despair and agony. He raised his hands to heaven with most expressive energy, and exclaimed, "You are striving to excite a civil war!"
The President was all this time covered, and the tumult increased. The Huissiers endeavored to compel silence. A new incident carried the agitation to its height. In a corner of the hall, Talbot, Jourdan, and some other members, had the most furious altercation.
At this fight, the Deputies rushed towards them in crowds. The tumult was extreme. They brought back Lefage Senault, pale and wan, to his seat.
The President Doucet, who during this long scene was covered, upon calm being restored, reminded them of this scandalous conduct. "Enough of blood, said he, "has flowed in the Republic. Would you, by the afflicting picture of new dissensions, give a current to more?"
The discussion with difficulty was closed.
Bentabole read his propositions. The Council of 500 decreed, that a commission of five members shall be formed to draw up a message (violent murmurs) which shall have for its object to demand:— 1. What measures the Directory has taken to punish the assassins of the South, and what obstacles have been found in their punishment? 2. What are the measures (tumult and violent agitation) taken to prevent new assassinations?
Treillard then read his propositions, "That a message should be sent to the Directory to demand
the state of the Southern Departments, and the cause of the troubles which agitate them."
2d. That the decree which created the commission be repealed. After the most vehement tumult, these measures were both adopted.
Wednesday, April 13.
Fabre moved, that all the papers concerning the disturbances in the South should be sent to the Directory, which brought on a very animated debate, at the close of which it was decreed, that all such papers as had been communicated to the committee by the Council should be sent to the Directory.
On the proposition of Camus the Council adopted a resolution, purporting that a Special Committee be appointed to superintend the National Treasury.
Thursday, April 14.
Talbot complained of the violence of some Journalists, who had stated, that in the sitting of the 12th inst. he, Jourdan and Hoard, had collared one another, and moved that those Journalists should be turned out of the hall.
"I support that motion," exclaimed several members.
Tallien opposed the motion, on account of its insufficiency for the intended purpose, as the Journalists thus turned out could not be prevented from placing themselves in the galleries. He moved the order of the day; which was adopted.
LONDON, April 22.
When the Americans are meditating the introduction into their code, of an act of navigation similar to that which has contributed so much to the opulence of England, it becomes them to consider how they are to be furnished with the various articles of luxury, which even the simple manners of a republican require, till the beneficial effect of the act, an increase of shipping, shall be felt. To restrain the commerce of others, demands a large capital on the part of those who undertake it; and a maritime power which, though it may, as in the instance of France, be destroyed in a moment, can only be established by long time and favorable circumstances.
Those who pretend to account for the young prince of Orange's leaving England, by a supposition that the French would not open any negotiation while our Court afforded an asylum to his unfortunate family, it is likely are much mistaken.
It is more probable that the French would object to our protection of the Count d'Artois, whom they call the young pretender. It is well known that the English Ambassador had Charles Stuart forcibly taken away from Paris in 1744.
There can scarce be a doubt that the cause of this young prince's return to the continent is some negotiation, that his father in law, the king of Prussia, has had with France, concerning his private estates. If he recovers these only, it will be a great advantage. His family influence in some of the provinces is very great; particularly in the neighbourhood of all his Nassau estates.
The duke d'Angouleme, son to the Count d'Artois, visited the Edinburgh theatre on Thursday last, and was received with all the customary formalities attendant on Royalty. When he entered the stage box, he was received with rapturous plaudits, accompanied by God save the king!
The following is circulated in France, as the expenses of government in paying different Journalists: To the Editor, 150,000 livres; to Real for the Journal des Patriots de 1789, 500,000; to Louvet, for La Sentinelle 500,000; for Bon Homme Richard, 500,000; for another Journal, 500,000; and in the country, for the following; at Rouen, for l'Orateur Plebeien, 540,000 livres; at Imper la Platiere, for the Courier de Paris, 400,000; at Sibuer, for l'Ami des Loix, 1,000,000; in all 5,440,000 livres per month, which makes 65,280,000 livres per annum.
His majesty's ship Sampson has captured the Alert French ship, mounting 14 guns, on her passage from Charleston to Cape Francois; she had on board an aid-de-camp of Gen. Lavaux the Republican Commander in St. Domingo, with several other French officers who are now on their parole at Jamaica.
The Grenville property, by lucky marriages, &c. has swelled into one of the most overgrown estates in the nation! The late marriage with Lady Ann Brydges fortune, makes an addition of more than half a million sterling.

BOSTON, June 14.
Extract of a letter from an American captain at Gibraltar to his owner in town, dated April 13, 1796.
"Two brigs and a large schooner have arrived here with tobacco; they were bound higher up, but on account of the Algerines being out, they put in here. There have been 2 frigates and 3 X-becks spoke with some distance up, which has again put a stop to the commerce in American vessels up the Straights."
From the Salem Gazette.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Asa Batchelder, of this port, dated St. Pierre's (Martinique) May 23, 1796.
"The English are yet at St. Lucia, but have
not taken one of the forts, though they have made many attempts. The hospital vessels bring hundreds of sick and wounded to this port and Port Royal every day. It is thought they will not take the Island, unless the French are short of provisions. The English keep a constant cannonading day and night, while the French only avail themselves of the best opportunities of annoying them."
The French privateer Brutus has taken a British transport, (one of the fleet destined for Jamaica) with two hundred troops on board, and sent her into St. Domingo.
CORRECTED INTELLIGENCE.
Last Saturday's Centinel contained several articles of intelligence, declared to be brought by me from Nicholas Mole. But as the articles are essentially different from any I ever before heard, or even reported, I feel it a duty to correct them.
I never mentioned, as I never knew, the number of ships or troops, which reached Cape Francois from France, although I heard a fleet had arrived. But yet I am made to aver, That there were 15,000 troops, &c.
In the go of English transports, at the Mole 6000 troops were brought out, though it has been absurdly stated, that I reported but 600.
I do not wish to lay under the imputation of wanton misrepresentation, which would be the case, had the paragraph in the Centinel, circulated without contradiction.

MR. FERN.
I send you the substance of a letter from a man in public office under the French Republic at the Cape, to another Frenchman in this country, which was read by a confidential friend of his, and the particulars from memory communicated to me. It is very material that our merchants should be generally apprized of the plan, and as I have no doubt of the authenticity of the intelligence, I think it my duty to publish it thro' the channel of the press. The manner in which it comes to me, does not permit me to disclose the source—but you who know your author will not I am sure, scuple to vouch for the goodness of the authority.
A CITIZEN.
"It is determined to seize and bring in all American vessels laden with provisions which shall be met with bound to any English port. These will undergo a severe examination, and when the property appears to be British, it will be confiscated; where it is clearly and without suspicion American it will be detained, but paid for, according as the means in our power furnish. For this conduct we have several motives—to keep the supplies from our enemies, to obtain them for ourselves. The embarrassed state of the finances of the republic has much narrowed the means of paying for what is wanted from abroad, and after what has happened, we cannot expect much future favour from our credit with the American merchants. Besides we have some political reasons. It is well the merchants who have so zealously supported the treaty with Great Britain should see that there are two sides to the question, and that by temporizing with our enemy, they will not enjoy that full exemption from the inconveniences of war which they have promised themselves. It is also essential that we should support our friends in America, by fulfilling their predictions of evil from the treaty. Perhaps you may shortly see a French fleet on your coast.
But do not imagine that there will be war with America. This will not happen. The republic has no disposition to a final rupture with that country, and we have no fears that it will come to an open breach with us. Notwithstanding the coalition between Pitt and Washington, we are well assured by our confidential friends that the attachment of the American people to the French nation will oblige the government to be passive, and that if its folly should prompt it to a rupture with us, there will be more to put on the tri-coloured cockade, than to join the standard of the hypocritical Washington."

SITUATE in the county of Morris, and State of New Jersey; twelve miles from Morris-town and thirty from Elizabeth Town or Newark Landings; consisting of a large furnace in good repair, with the best wooden bellows, drove by an over-shot wheel of forty feet diameter, a bellow-house, calking-house, bridge-house, and a large moulding-house, all in good order, together with a great variety of the most approved patterns of pots, kettles, tea-kettles, &c. &c. with a sufficiency of flasks therefor, and also a great variety of all kinds of love patterns, and a complete set of patterns and apparatus for casting hollow ware, bar iron, &c. &c. a large convenient car-penter's and wheelwright's shop, a blacksmith's shop with two fires, a nailor's shop, and a lamp-glass mill, a dool-house that will hold six hundred loads of coal, a large, convenient store, consisting of several rooms, two excellent barns and stables, a slaughter-house near the store, together with a great variety of houses for the workmen very convenient to the furnace.
The furnace is supplied with water from a number of springs, which render a supply certain: the pond consists of about thirty acres: the mansion-house is built of stone, two stories high, with four rooms with fire-places on the first floor, and a large handsome hall, and five rooms with four fire-places on the second floor, with a very fine high garret, in which there are two fire-places, with a handsome piazza in front, the whole length of the house: at each end of the house is a handsome wing; one used for a kitchen, with servants rooms above; the other for a counting-house; and a cellar under the whole house, a well of the best water at the door, smoke and other convenient out-houses, two excellent gardens, in one of which is a large asparagus bed, several orchards of the best grafted fruit, and one hundred and fifty acres of upland, which may be tilted to advantage. In front of the mansion-house and in full view, is a most beautiful meadow of two hundred and fifty acres, in which may now be cut one hundred and fifty tons of the best Hay, besides affording a sufficient quantity of pasture for the teams, and as much more meadow may be easily put in, besides raising a large quantity of corn, potatoes and turnips. The lands belonging to this estate consist of about ten thousand acres; on which are the Mines for the works, two of which are of the best quality, one so near that a single horse and cart will bring ten tons per day, the other, a team of four horses may bring six tons. Besides the above there are several other mines of inferior quality very convenient, the iron of which is good for nails, and when mixed makes excellent castings. The mines are in good order, with proper levels for drawing off the water, and shafts at proper distances. Near the Works have been discovered several beds of Bog Ore, and there is no doubt, with a little attention a sufficient supply thereof may be procured. All the mines are supplied with proper houses for the miners. Within a mile and a half of the furnace there is an inexhaustible vein of limestone; from whence not only a supply for the furnace may be had, but also any quantity for building or manure. Within less than a mile of the furnace is about twenty acres of the best double spruce for beer; and near it is a celebrated mineral spring; and two and a half miles from the furnace, within the tract, are two valuable sites for Forges and Saw-Mills, on an excellent stream of water; and two large ponds may be made, and a permanent supply may be had, by a small expense, from a Lake of four miles in length and one mile wide, and adjacent a sufficiency of wood may be had: near to one of the sites is a good farm-house, and about eighty acres of arable land, a valuable orchard, and meadow to cut thirty tons of Hay; and in the swamp that will form the pond there may now be cut sixty tons of hay.
Belonging to the same Estate, and
within three miles thereof, nearer the Landing, is a good NEW FORGE, with two fires, in complete order and repair, situate on Rockaway river, which furnishes a constant supply of water; adjoining which is a good convenient dwelling-house, with three rooms and a good kitchen on the first floor, and a good barn and stable; also a large, convenient store, which is now kept for the supply of the iron-works, and the country; and this situation is very convenient for the works, much more so than to have the dry-goods store kept at the furnace.
Adjoining to the foregoing Estate,
and within four miles thereof, may be had if wanted, a tract of six thousand acres of Woodland, and a site for a Forge, on a stream of water very sufficient in every respect; together with several houses now built, and a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of fine low land; a great part of which will make, with a little expense, meadow sufficient to cut one hundred and fifty tons of hay; and now affords a great supply of pasture—the residue is arable and woodland.
AND ALSO TO BE SOLD,
All that VALUABLE ESTATE, called
Boonetown Iron-Works,
SITUATE in the county of Morris, within eighteen miles of Newark Landing, and eight miles of Morris-Town: containing about three thousand five hundred acres of land, lying on both sides of Rockaway river, for near four miles.
On the premises is a FORGE with four fires and two hammers, in complete repair, which embraces the whole river, a SLITTING MILL, built in the most approved manner, with two furnaces for heating iron, with rolls, pillars, cutters, and every other apparatus in the most complete order, with a blacksmith's shop, coal-house, &c. &c. On the same dam is a very complete SAW-MILL; so that the slitting-mill has the full command of the whole river, with a head of twelve feet.
Immediately below, and on another dam, is an excellent new GRIST-MILL, with two run of stones, and constructed for a third. The mill is large, and convenient for a merchant mill, and situate in a country which will afford a constant supply of grain.
All the works are in complete view of the mansion-house, and within half a mile of it, which is a handsome building, with five rooms on the first floor with fire places, and four rooms up stairs, all in excellent repair, with a large kitchen and cellars, and a well of excellent water at the door. In front of the house is a piazza, sixty feet long, an excellent garden, with a great abundance of the best kind of Fruit: the out-houses are convenient and good; consisting of a large spring milk-house, ice-house, smoke-house, fowl-house, corn-crib, root-house, good barns and stables, &c. &c. Also, within view of the mansion-house, are twelve dwelling-houses, a counting-house, a stone house, occupied as a store for the country and works
a large, convenient house, with six rooms, four with fire-places, occupied by the clerks; the residue of the houses are for foremen, millers, &c. There is, adjoining the store, a POT-ASH WORKS, in complete order, a blacksmith's shop, and wheelwright's shop, and other convenient appendages.
As Rockaway River runs through this estate about four miles, in which distance near twenty mill-sites may be made, if so to occupy the whole of this very valuable and constant supply of water, it may be justly considered as a very valuable object for any person or persons desirous of going into the manufacturing line.
On the premises, and adjoining the mansion-house, are about one hundred acres of arable land; whereon are two orchards of three hundred trees, of the best grafted fruit: and within two miles and a half of the forge is a very fine Farm of two hundred and fifty acres of land, in the best and most complete order, with one hundred acres of meadow, two houses, a good barn, and other necessary improvements—the residue is woodland, on which are a number of houses for the colliers, &c. &c.
AND ALSO,
Near three thousand acres of Land, situate in the valley of Newfoundland, about sixteen miles north west from Boonetown, in the counties of Morris and Sussex, whereon is a very good Forge of two fires, and a number of other buildings adjoining thereto, for the accommodation of the workmen, with an excellent vein of iron Ore, situate about one mile west from the tract.
The above Estates will be sold on easy terms, together with all the horses, oxen, waggon, tools, and every implement necessary to carry on the works. There is now provided wood and ore for eight months blast; so that the Furnace will be put in blast the beginning of June. Any person wishing to purchase, may have the whole as they now are: there is also wood, &c. &c. provided at Boonetown.
The terms will be payment down for all the moveable property of every kind, appertaining to the Furnace, and property of every kind, pertaining to the purchase money—the residue in eight yearly payments, with the interest annually every year. A clear and indisputable title will be given for the whole. Apply to Mr. Samuel Clarkson, in Philadelphia, Mr. Peter Mackie, Merchant, New-York, Water-Street; or to either of the subscribers.

City of Washington. SCHEME of the LOTTERY, No. II, FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize, Amount, Total. Prizes range from 20,000 dollars down to 10 dollars. Total prizes: 40,000. Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 40,000.
N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the 1st drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but one.
And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these pravings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the Scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real Securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a false disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most supposition indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; or James West & Co. Baltimore; or Peter Gilman, Boston; or John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
