THE SUBSCRIBER is authorised to treat with any person disposed to purchase the whole or any part of the Following LANDS,
Situated chiefly on Cumberland River, and derived from Military Titles, to wit,

A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale.
THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell—it lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so; and perhaps no land promises, from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water Grist and Saw Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Gerard Robinson, who resides near it will show it to any one disposed to view it, and either he or Capt. Malcomb Todd, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or application may be made to
Merit M. Robinson.

RAN-AWAY the fourth instant from the subscriber, two Negro Men, named SYPHAX and PETER.
SYPHAX is about 34 or 35 years of age, stout and well made, except his ankles and instep, which are of an oversize and appear to be swelled, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, of a tawney complexion; when spoken to summers considerably; a little pitted with the small-pox in the face; Syphax was purchased by me in 1803, of Mr. Miles King, Norfolk, who a short time before bought him at Mr. Lowry's sale, Back River, near Hampton, where said fellow is well known.
PETER is about 37 or 38 years of age, stout and well made, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, of a black complexion, but when spoken to has rather a down look; has on his breast a flesh mole about one and an half inches wide, and about two and an half or three inches long. Peter was purchased by me about six years ago, from an Eastern-Shore craft; he was raised within a few miles beyond Accomack Court House; I expect he will endeavour to get back there, and from thence to the State of Maryland. If the said Negroes are apprehended without the counties of Norfolk and Princess Anne, the above reward will be given to any person who will secure them in jail so that I get them again, or Fifty Dollars for each; and if taken out of the state of Virginia all reasonable expenses will be paid on delivering them to me near Norfolk, besides the above reward; and if taken within the counties aforesaid, I will give Twenty-Five Dollars for each. Motion of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from carrying said Negroes at their peril. Thomas Talbot.

The publick resolutions which have been lately announced, and are now in the hands of the publick, have clarified the mercantile and underwriters of Philadelphia, and determined them to apply to the government. It is astonishing that after so many undeniable evidences of the hostility of Napoleon to our country, that there should be found among us men, who are devoted to his interests. A few facts may be useful to fresh our minds. Before Russia fell under the influence of France, our country enjoyed a free uninterrupted and profitable commerce with that; now it is embarrassed with decrees and vexatious regulations, that render it scarce worth pursuing. Before Denmark fell under the fatal control of the Corsican, our commerce was wholly unmolested by her, and our relations with her stood upon the best footing; the same remarks apply to Hamburg, Bremen, and the ports of Prussia—now mark the contrast, seizures, and captures at sea, and sequestrations, and condemnations of American property in the ports of those powers are daily committed. Holland, whose existence depending on commerce, has occasionally relaxed her decrees in favour of our neutral commerce, but an order from the tyrant, enforced by French officers, has instantly annihilated our commerce with that country. While Spain was under the orders of Napoleon our vessels were seized and captured by the Spanish cruizers in Europe and the West Indies; now our vessels pass without interruption. With all these, and many more facts (for facts they are, and we challenge the Corsican's advocates to deny them) which we could adduce, is it not matchless assurance to be told that Napoleon is "fighting for the liberty of the seas?"
Six of the persons concerned in the riot at Liverpool on the 4th of July, were sentenced at the Lancaster Assizes to one year's imprisonment in Bridewell—So says the Liverpool Courier of the 30th of August.
The United States' Frigate Constitution, Commanders RODGERS, anchored in Hampton Roads yesterday.
No doubt many of our readers will be astonished at the enormous amount of capital employed upon bridges and turnpike roads in the state of New-York, published in this day's paper—We hope the publication, will rouse the emulation of our fellow-citizens. The Dismal Swamp Canal, is an object, that deserves the publick attention, more particularly that of the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth. In comparison with what has been done in New-York, it is more than cutting a ditch to drain a swamp.
MARRIED last evening, by the Rev. Mr. Symas, GEORGE NEWTON, Esq. to Miss COURTNEY NORFOLK.
NEW BRITISH MINISTER.
The following article is from the pen of the editor of the Massachusetts Spy, whose talents and researches are above those of the mass of editors. We do not agree with the writer in the opinion that Denmark deserved her fate, but we know, from very high authority (not British but American), that Buonaparte intended to take possession of Copenhagen, if the British had not taken the Danish fleet, and certainly all the remaining remarks in the piece are well worth attention.—[Freeman's Jour. MR. JACKSON.]
As our readers are doubtless at a loss to account for all the clamour which is made against Mr. Jackson, the newly arrived British minister, we here present them with all the charges alleged against him, as extracted from the Richmond Enquirer, by the Chronicle—two papers which are thoroughly devoted to Buonaparte and Jefferson.
"As some curiosity has been felt about the previous posts of the Hon. Francis James Jackson, Esq. some pains have been taken to discover the appointments he has filled. The following is a sketch of those titles, which have hitherto adorned the escutcheon of the Copenhagen Negotiator. Perhaps the dates now given may shed some light upon his adventures, his patrons, and his diplomatiack skill."
"On the 18th July, 1789, Francis James Jackson was appointed Secretary of Legation at the court of Berlin."
"In Nov. 1791, he was appointed his majesty's Secretary of Embassy at the court of Madrid."
"On the 28th July '96, he was appointed Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte. This commission he held but a short time—being replaced in the course of '97, by Lord Elgin."
"On the 14th of Sept. 1802, he was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, to the Court of Berlin."
"In 1807, he shone as the negotiator of the Robbery of the Danish fleet.—"It is the last key-stone which makes the arch." If the other adventures of Mr. Jackson be in unison with this last one, we may surely congratulate ourselves upon the society of an honourable and humane a member of the corps diplomatique. [Enquirer.]
Now to examine this account of Mr. Jackson's account taken from the mouth of his enemies, with the late Col. Forrest, in which he gave a history of his expedition against La Vendee, and stated he was astonished to find that the French General, Turreau, can have the audacity to assert that the conduct of Mr. Jackson, who had an opportunity of seeing the state of Copenhagen, further than to offer the Danish terms, by which they might have avoided the loss of lives which ensued, was a most ungenerous and rash opposition.
And as to the clamour raised against him, it is a secret of the Copenhagen Negotiator.
most it is the very man who would have appeared the triumphant but it been performed by Buonaparte. The Chronicle of the 7th inst. has a long article on the conduct of Buonaparte towards Spain, which is a repetition of a work than the conduct of Britain against Copenhagen, even as stated by the rankest Jacobins.
Spain had ever been the faithful ally of Buonaparte; impoverished herself to supply him with money, and sent her troops to fight his battles in the North of Europe. But Buonaparte thought he could make Spain more useful to him if it was under the command of one of his brothers; therefore his ambassador, and his creature Godoy, promoted a quarrel between the King of Spain, and his son the prince of Asturias. The prince was imprisoned; and afterwards set at liberty. The next step was to dethrone Charles and place the prince of Asturias on the throne, with the title of Ferdinand VII. This proceeding produced great animosity between the partizans of Godoy and Ferdinand, which were pretty equally balanced; and the conquest of Spain, by means of these contests and divisions, appeared to be a work of no difficulty or danger.—Bonaparte's armies to the amount of 150,000 men, were sent into Spain, and under a pretence of friendship, took possession of the most important fortresses of Spain. Madrid was occupied by French troops, and Charles and Ferdinand were ordered into France under a pretence of pleading their cause before this corrupt, and predetermined Judge. They were both of them made prisoners; and Bonaparte made his brother Joseph, who had been formerly a clerk to a Notary and Broker at Bayonne, the King of Spain. The charge Bonaparte invented against the two Kings of Spain, was that of British influence; and his creatures in all parts of the world have received orders to repeat that charge. We find it in the Chronicle; which asserts "the emissaries of England had long been intriguing with Ferdinand." This they affirm although there was no more British influence in Spain, than in the cabinet of Mr. Jefferson. England and Spain were in open hostilities, and the Spaniards were highly exasperated by the blockade of their ports, which were shut up by British squadrons.
Denmark, on the contrary, had been the enemy of England from the time that flagrant and inhuman wrong was done to the princess Amelia—for the doer of wrong is generally more vindictive than he that receives it. Denmark had, without any provocation, engaged in the two northern confederations, against England. She had marched an army into Lubec and Hamburg, in order to exclude the English trade from those free cities—and it was this unjust transaction which brought on her the cannonade of Copenhagen, by Lord Nelson.—In that openly hostile action to England, she had not scrupled to levy contributions on the innocent traders of Hamburg. After the peace of Amiens, the hatred of Denmark to England, and her devotion to Buonaparte continued; and was unequivocally demonstrated when Buonaparte overthrew Prussia; and revolutionized Russia at the battle of Friedland. At Tilsit the plan was matured to arm and combine the whole continent of Europe against England. She was to be weakened by shutting every port against her. The Navies of Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and even Turkey, were to be collected, in order to carry all the flower of the continent in an expedition against her. The idea was a great one and worthy the genius of Buonaparte. If Sweden would not join in the vast plan, she was to be compelled by Alexander. She refused, and Russia consequently, made war upon her. Buonaparte himself undertook to bring Portugal to terms. Russia, Prussia, Austria, &c. were compelled to shut their ports against England. Had Denmark refused to join in the plan, she would have been attacked as was Sweden and Portugal.
The British government could not remain ignorant of this grand conspiracy; and she frustrated it. She persuaded the Prince Regent of Portugal to sail with his fleet to Brazil; and she sent a powerful armament to Denmark to secure the Danish fleet, either by receiving it as a deposit till the end of the war, or in case of refusal to capture it by force. This measure of precaution, or safety, was demanded by prudence—and was, in part, justified by the maxim that "prevention is better than a cure." We repeat that had such a measure been executed by Buonaparte, his Jacobins here, and elsewhere, would have blazoned the transaction as a master piece of policy; as a proceeding which "paragons description and wild fame." The great plan of Buonaparte was deranged by this transaction, by the resistance of Sweden, and by the blockade of the fleets of Russia, Holland, France, and Spain; and it is the success of the British conduct, which has inflamed our Jacobins with such an invincible dislike to the capture of Copenhagen, which was the corner stone of her safety. The conduct of the British at Copenhagen, in comparison with any act of Buonaparte, was truly magnanimous. Although they were masters of the whole island of Zealand, they gave back to the Danes their country and independence—they had accomplished the object which their own safety and security demanded, and they did no more.
M. Jackson, who arrived in this country, was the gentleman who carried the proposal to the Danes, either to surrender up the fleet as a deposit to be returned on the conclusion of peace, or to abide the event of the war; which was all the hand he had in that transaction. And it is on that account only that so much clamour has been made against him. It is true our Jacobins have reason for personal dislike against him, because he was concerned in an affair which prevented the conquest of England by Buonaparte, which has hitherto prevented his servants in this country from becoming members of the legion of honour; for they know well enough that if England was conquered, they with very little assistance from him, could bring all North America under his control; and this is the end they have in view, if we may be allowed to form a judgment by the whole tenor of their conduct.
The Jacobin papers boast that Mr. Jackson has been a spectator of the burning of his effigy. However he has been received in due form by the secretary of state. We hope he will not form his estimate of the American character from the move at Annapolis or Norfolk. If he does he must think the country has made a bad bargain on exchanging the aboriginal Indians for French and Irish sons of liberty.
We regret that the respectable editor of the Massachusetts Spy, should have permitted him
to cast such an unjust reflection upon the citizens of Norfolk. Mr. Jackson has never in Norfolk, and consequently he could not have experienced any insult in this place. We are confident that if Mr. Jackson had landed here, no insult would have been offered him. It is true the demagogic papers to the Northward, did insert in their slanderous journals an account of his being insulted in Norfolk, and though they afterwards knew that he was never here, they did not correct the falsehood. It is perhaps in this way, that the editor of the Massachusetts Spy was drawn into the error.]

TRANSLATION
Of the Law for the Government of Privateers and Prize-Courts in the dominion of Denmark, translated by Peter Frellsen, interpreter of the prize-court at Christiansand.
WE, Christian 7th, by the grace of God, King of Denmark and Norway, the Goths and Vandals, duke of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, &c.
Be it made known that by all privateers, which may be fitted out this war, against the crown of Great-Britain, the following regulations must be submitted to.
Art. 1. None is permitted to go a privateering, unless he has obtained a lawful commission, which is in our kingdoms of Denmark and Norway by the provincial commanding general and governor, and under the commanding general's seal; in the
dominions by our Stadtholder and field marshal, and under his seal.
Art. 2. Such commissions must be in the following form:
By the command of his royal highness be it made known by these presents, that _____ owner of the ship or vessel called _____ has according to the established laws made on the 19th September, 1807, received permission to fit out this present vessel, commanded by _____ against the enemy with guns in the expectation to capture, or if it requires to destroy ships or vessels, belonging to the crown of Great-Britain or any individual of that nation, and also to bring in for further examination such vessels as are expected to belong to the enemy, or to be connected with the same the owner or owners having given bond as required by this law, and the commander of this vessel, having made oath and pledged himself to pay due obedience to the same.
All persons wishing to obtain a commission to privateering must apply in our kingdoms of Denmark to the governors, and in the dukedoms of Schleswig and in Holstein to the Stadtholder, he is there to produce before a magistrate bond and security as a guarantee for his good conduct, while he is in possession of such commission; the amount of such bond must be regulated by the number of guns the vessel mounts; bonding five hundred dollars for each gun until the number of ten; but should the vessel thus commissioned, mount more than ten guns, it is not required to give bonds for more than five thousand dollars; and the holder of this commission, on his oath binds himself to pay due obedience to this established law.
Art. 4. Every one who holds a lawful commission, may take and bring in for adjudication, all the ships and vessels belonging to the crown of Great-Britain, and to individuals of that nation, and it is also permitted to bring in for examination all such ships or vessels who may be suspected, or that may come under the 9th article, or from whose papers there might be reason to suspect, that such ships or vessels did not belong to a neutral power, also such ships or vessels as have before the commencement of this war, been the property of the British government or subjects, although that by sale or contract such might have been conveyed to the subjects of neutral nations, when they cannot produce such papers or documents as would prove that they have been in a port or harbour of a neutral or friendly power, after they have ceased to have been enemy's property.
Art. 5. No person who holds such commission must under the risk of losing the same, detain any ship or vessel, or in any manner make use of the same commission in the territory of any friendly or neutral powers within what is allowed to be one sea mile from the thereof.
Art. 6. As we acknowledge the unalterable principle, that a free ship makes a free cargo, it is hereby positively prohibited that those who have our commission to cruise, do not bring the ships or vessels belonging to neutrals, or to those nations in friendly connection with us let the cargo belong to whom it may, whenever the ship papers are found in correct order, or when the ship or vessel has contraband of war on board, or not bound to places occupied or belonging to Great-Britain.
Art. 7. As free ships make free cargo, enemy's ships make enemy's cargoes, unless it can be clearly proved, that the vessel's cargo is neutral property taken on board such vessel before the commencement of the present war or before it was made known at such place, where such cargo was taken in, and the papers for such vessel granted.
Art. 8. The following are the papers required by the 6th article:—
 1. A sea letter properly granted by the government of the country wherein the owner of the ship or vessel resides.  2. Bill of building, but in case a ship has been sold to another person, in such case a bill of sale, unless these are shown in one document. Should a ship or vessel formerly have been a prize, and condemned, then the act of condemnation shall answer in lieu of the bill of building and bill of sale; it is likewise required to be specified in the act of condemnation, to whom the vessel has been sold.  3. The bill of measurement; this must be signed by the authorized officer, where the vessel was built.  4. The bill of equipage, or muster roll which must likewise be properly signed by the officer, this must contain a fair explanation of all persons belonging to the vessel; this roll of equipage must further prove, that no supercargo, factor, commissioner, or any other ship or vessel's officer being British subjects, and that the crew of the vessel (the mates included) are not more than one third part British subjects.  5. Custom house clearance, which must prove that the cargo was taken on board as mentioned in the sea letter.  6. Charter party and bill of lading, by which is shown the place of destination, as shown by the sea pass. 
Art. 9. All ships belonging to the British crown, or owned by British subjects, shall be a good prize, in whatever part of the world they may be found, and also all other vessels which may be boarded, and which shall not have all the following documents.
 1. When the ship or vessel have no sea letter.  2. When the sea letter and other documents appear by the interrogations to be false.  3. Or when they are found steering another course than the place mentioned in the sea letter; which the exception of being compelled to alter their course, by stress of weather, or being chased by an enemy, or in any other case of necessity, which by the captain's journal must be proved.  4. Every vessel shall be a good prize when they are loaded in whole or in part with contraband of war, or should the vessel appear to be destined for a harbour in Great Britain, or having on board officers and soldiers who are engaged or may be engaged in the enemy's service.  5. Or when a vessel is detained by a privateer and makes resistance.  6. And lastly, all ships and vessels that approach a squadron blockading a Danish province, port or harbour, for the purpose of carrying on a trade with the same, or supplying such blockading squadron with provisions. 
Art. 10. The contraband alluded to in the mentioned article No. 9, is cannon, mortars, all mentioned arms, pistols, bombs, grenades, balls, muskets, flints, matches, powder, saltpetre, brimstone, ramrods, pikes, sabres, belts, cartouch boxes, saddles and timber, with the exception of such a quantity as may be necessary for the defence or protection of the vessel's crew.
Art. 11. When a cruiser with a commission comes up with a ship or vessel of a neutral or friendly power, he shall hail such ship or vessel and order the captain on board the cruiser with his papers, and in case he finds the same in good order, he is immediately to let the vessel proceed on her voyage, without demanding from the captain any thing whatever, but should he find any reason for suspicion of unlawful conduct, he is at liberty to go on board of the vessel for the examination of all connected circumstances.
Art. 12. No master who holds our commission, must attempt while he is on board of any ship or vessel, searching her to break or open any drawers, chests, boxes, casks or barrels, or any thing where in a part of the cargo might have to remain, nor is he permitted to open any bales, pack, nor in any manner molest any thing, that may be loose in the vessel, but such as has a doubt that the contraband in the same may be concealed, then the captain of the detained vessel will his crew to open such packages, and again close and take care of them.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York Other Company, No. 21, Wall Street. PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Port, Goods, Wares, and Merchandizes FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public. * * * No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the insurer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning. Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire. No. I. HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. II. HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood.

Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood.

Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security.—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured ON OR IN the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.

Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what material each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon. V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid. VI.

VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really and, by information, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and such affidavit or certificates are produced, the Company shall pay the sum insured. Also, if there appears any fraud, or if the claimant shall refuse to claim to examine the premises, or to give any further information, the Company will not be liable to pay the sum insured.

These celebrated and well known Bitters are composed purely of vegetables of the most innocent yet specific virtues, and are particularly recommended for reforming weak constitutions, cleaning and strengthening the stomach, and increasing the appetite; they expel worms in all ages, but from their simplicity and safety, are a most natural and effectual vermifuge, when administered to children; they are gratefully warm, and pungently aromatic; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when billious habits experience such total loss of appetite; they are also a certain preventative against those complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent fevers and agues, long autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c.
