THE subscriber wishes to dispose of the FARM on which he now lives, situate in Berkeley County Virginia, near Opeckon Creek, about three miles from Martinsburg and seven from Shepherd's-Town, on the main road leading from the former to the latter place—This farm contains about three hundred acres, a part slate and a part limestone land of the first quality, about two thirds of the whole tract cleared, and now in a state of high cultivation, the balance clothed with excellent timber, which will always afford a greater quantity than the consumption of the place will require—A sufficient portion of the land can be converted into good meadow—The improvements are a very comfortable and convenient dwelling house, a large frame barn and stables, with other useful buildings ; there is a spring of good water quite convenient to the dwelling, and several other springs rise on different parts of the place, furnishing a sufficient and constant supply of water throughout the year.
The subscriber being desirous to remove to the state of Ohio, will take in exchange for the above farm, land well situated and of good quality in any part of that state ; or if a greater part of the price can be paid in hand, a great bargain will be given in it. The terms will be made known on application to the subscriber living on the premises.

BALTIMORE, June 15.
It appears by the Philadelphia Democratic Press, that the Pennsylvania moderate party have had a meeting at Reading, at which they have appointed a committee to confer with the committee of the democrats, upon condition that the latter shall declare themselves authorised to re-consider the nominations for governor and for electors of president and vice-president. In this case, it is agreed that the candidate of the moderate party, Mr. Spayd, may be abandoned by their committee, provided the Snyder party will also abandon him and agree upon a third person for governor, or leave the nomination to another state conference.
This proposal is viewed by the writer in the Press as a disingenuous shift, and he thinks that it will not be acceded to. Reading, the place of the meeting, is the center of the interest of Mr. Spayd.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTORS.
A joint committee has been appointed to consider the expediency of directing the mode of appointing electors of president and vice-president of the U. States, during the present session, and report by bill or otherwise.
Should they follow the example of many other states, in making the choice by the Legislature, as most probably will be the case, that state alone will give 19 federal electoral votes.
MARTINIQUE.
The ship-news under the New-York head is uncommonly interesting to day. The wretched condition of Martinique, where the stock of provisions received from abroad has failed, was to have been calculated upon. The consequence probably will be, that it will place itself under the protection of Great-Britain. The only obstacle to such a determination, will be the military force in the island ; but this will also be compelled to yield to the terrible summons of Famine. From the circumstance of Martinique having early in the last war passed into the hands of the British, who retained and improved it till the peace, many attachments may be supposed to survive between the inhabitants and the British, which will render the return to their dominions a less reluctant measure.
Translation of a letter, dated Hamburg, 9th April, 1808, to a merchant in this City, received by yesterday's mail via Baltimore. [N. Y. Eve. Post.]
"Since our last of the 29th October, we have waited with much anxiety for the certificate we requested of you, in order to save your property, if possible, from confiscation. We are now sorry to say, that iniquity has prevailed ; for without producing any proof, and disregarding all remonstrances, here, as well as in Paris, the French commissaries have thought proper to confiscate your goods. Such treatment amongst civilized people is without example ; but it is not the only instance of injustice of which the French have been guilty, and which calls for vengeance.—These unjust confiscations are carried to such a shameful extent, that the chief French commissary for a long time hesitated, whether he should furnish us with the Act of Condemnation of your property. Happily for us, however, after all hopes of saving those goods had vanished, we, with much trouble, prevailed on that man, to order a formal Act of Condemnation to be made out, which enables us to furnish you the regular and official evidence of the fact. However, not being allowed a duplicate of the said act of condemnation, we have thought best to have the same recorded in the American Consul's office, a certified copy of which you will find annexed to this.
There is no other method of recovering any thing, than by means of the said copy of condemnation, and to apply to the French government direct through your ambassador at Paris. The success however is very doubtful, at least as long as your government does not come into the views of the French emperor, with respect to Great-Britain.
Inclosed you will find account of charges on your goods, amounting to Flo 804.13. It is extremely hard that besides the loss of your property, you

should be subjected to this extra charge. The cost of the condemnation act, we have charged you with on the postage account.
Our commerce has been totally ruined, as we receive no more supplies of colonial produce—the prices advance daily."
Hamburg, April 4th, 1808.
IMPERIAL CUSTOMS.
The Director of the French Customs certifies, that 46 seroons Bark, weighing 4628 pounds, have been seized by the Superintendent of the Customs, on the 21st of September, 1807—that the seizure has been confirmed by his Imperial and Royal Majesty.

Latest Foreign News.
LIVERPOOL, April 27.
Mr. Rose has arrived in London from America; he came in the Statira frigate. A cabinet council was held at the foreign office on Saturday last, to deliberate on the subject of his communications; we are sorry the accounts from America are not very favorable to England. Although nothing has hitherto transpired which renders an amicable adjustment hopeless yet certainly there exists good reason to fear that the negotiations are attended with much difficulty. The American government seems determined to abide by the demands which they have made, of bringing all their complaints forward together, and are not disposed to be satisfied with a mere apology and reparation for the affair of the Chesapeake. The disputed points between the countries involve questions of vital national importance; and, however inclined we may be to wish for a friendly termination of the difference, we see more reason to fear than to hope. But the refusal of the American government to permit Admiral Duckworth to water his squadron in the Chesapeake, does not of itself render war more probable. It was understood, when the last accounts came away, that the embargo remained in full force, and that no relaxation of the measures which the American Government had adopted, was to take place till an answer had been received to the dispatches transmitted to Europe. Mr. Krskine remains in America. We understand that the report of an insurrection in the Western Country, and of a revolution in the Floridas, under the direction of the French General Moreau, are without foundation.
AFFAIRS IN PORTUGAL.
LONDON, April 16.
We have learnt in addition to former particulars from Lisbon, that the French General, whilst he confessed in his message to Sir Charles Cotton that the people had not more than fourteen days provision left, added, that he had secured the subsistence of his army for six months—an assertion which we may be permitted to disbelieve. He stated too, that if we refused to supply the country with provisions, the scandal and disgrace of starving a whole people would rest upon the British character—Sir C. Cotton probably replied to him that for all the horrors and miseries in which the country was involved, the French alone were responsible. An offer is said to have been made by our Admiral to raise the blockade, if the French army would evacuate the country. The French General reiterated his assertion, that the French had supplies for six months, but that provisions were wanted for the people. The Gentleman at the head of the deputation, which was from General Junot direct, and not from the merchants, was a M. Setaro, who had been Commissary to Lord St. Vincent's fleet, and who is at present Commissary to the French army, which is 15,000 strong.
The request of General Junot was treated as it deserved. The strict blockade of Lisbon can neither be viewed as inhuman or unjust. If the French withdraw from the country, then indeed there could be no doubt of every relief being afforded by us to the people.
Every fresh article of intelligence from Portugal confirms the lamentable accounts previously received, and adds new circumstances of misery. A gentleman who escaped on board the Leyden frigate, from Lisbon, on the 13th ult. and arrived at Plymouth, states, that the sufferings undergone throughout Portugal, for the want of bread and flour, are rendered more acute by the bad prospect of the future harvest. The lands had not been refreshed by a shower of rain for the last four months, during the whole of which north-easterly winds had prevailed.
A striking instance of the Portuguese hatred towards the French, occurred last week. As Gen. Junot was passing by one of the squares in Lisbon, in the Prince's carriage, a Portuguese took off his hat. The populace observing it, their indignation was roused, and the man seized by some of them, and so roughly handled, that he died soon after.
Domestic Intelligence.
Louisville, Kentucky, May 18.
John Rowan, Esq. passed through this town a few days ago, on his return from Congress; he informs that power has been given to the President to rescind the embargo act, should the nations of Europe engage to respect our neutrality. Advices from Orleans announce that the Spaniards have again moved to the Sabine, their force is said to be 500 infantry. A letter from a gentleman in Georgia, says "the embargo has had its effect on the citizens of Pensacola and Mobile. They are almost in a state of famine. Corn is Four Dollars per bushel, Bacon 50 cents per lb. Hogshead One Dollar per quart, Fowls 9 dollars per doz."

We hear, that to enforce the Embargo Act in Vermont, to protect our property and Seamen, Mr. Jefferson has ordered a detachment of our regular troops, part of them from Fort Independence, with two pieces of Cannon, to proceed to the Frontier next Canada!
Philadelphia, June 16.
More French Outrage.—A letter received in this city by the Ocean, from a gentleman who went out a passenger in the Osage, mentions, that that ship had been seized and condemned by the French government under the Milan decree—This letter was dated at Rotterdam April 27th. Several letters of about the same date concur in stating that all the private letters sent out by the Osage were detained a month, and opened and examined by order of the government before they were delivered.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability in Montreal to his correspondent in the city of Albany, dated the 27th May, 1808.
"We have just received information of a most unwarrantable act of hostility (completely in the teeth of the permanent part of the treaty of 1794) being committed by the American revenue officers, aided by the garrison of Niagara, by firing upon a number of bateaux belonging to the Michillimackinac company, and seizing the merchandise they contained."
"This act, in itself so wanton and so injurious to the Michillimackinac company, if not immediately redressed by your government, will become a most serious national question. Some of the balls even went over into British Niagara."
"The boats were in waters to which British subjects by treaty have equal rights with American citizens, and were proceeding to their ultimate destination by the route invariably pursued since the delivery of the upper posts, and never before molested."
"The consequence of the detention of the above merchandise at this season may be the ruin of the trade for a year."
"We are informed, that an express from Niagara passed through the city of Albany some few days since, for Washington, with an account of the above unpleasant affair, from the American officers at that post."

It is reported, that Col. Burr was a passenger in the British Packet which sailed on Thursday last. If so, it is certain that he has not gone out with an appointment from Mr. Jefferson, relative to Spanish affairs.
The Political Register states, that the following interesting letter, which is of the latest date from the continent of Europe, is from a very respectable and well informed American gentleman to his friend in this city—it was received by the ship Ocean, Capt. Girdon.
"Rotterdam, April 27, 1808.
"The Osage arrived at L'Orient in 23 days, and was there DETAINED three days, till the Police could determine what course should be observed towards her, when the forms of the Decree were pursued, and the ship, having been boarded by an English vessel, was declared GOOD PRIZE!—and the Messenger and Passengers suffered to land and proceed to Paris."
"The last news leaves the emperor at Bayonne, on his way to Spain. You have heard, without doubt, the account of the Revolution in that Kingdom, what further we may expect rests upon conjecture. In the North, Russia has taken possession of all Finland, except Sweaborg (which is almost impregnable) and by proclamation, annexed that country to her own dominions. In Germany, the province of Galicia is to be ceded by Austria to Saxony; and it is said to form, with the Dutchy of Warsaw, the Kingdom of Poland. The fate of Turkey is not decided. In Italy, the Government of the Pope is at an end."
"The brave troops of Rome," said the French General in the Order of the Day, quoting Napoleon, "shall no longer be commanded by Priests or Women." In Holland, Flushing has been given up to the French for a naval port, and they have assembled there a strong naval force. The fate of this Kingdom is really deplorable, as it is impoverishing every day: and if the war continues in its present mode, must be exhausted of all its capital. A Decree has been passed lately, to issue a new Stock, bearing interest, of forty millions, to defray arrears. Commerce is entirely at an end, as a law a few months ago laid an Embargo on all Vessels in Port, and prohibited the entrance of others; which, with a few exceptions, has been adhered to. This measure was adopted, it is said, on the alternative of forty thousand troops in Garrison, or interdiction of Commerce with Great-Britain.
"The American property brought in, according to the Decree of Milan, remains without a decision. Leave is however given, to sell the cargoes, on giving Bond for the same. A privilege, however, of no use, as the Bonds must be given according to the present prices, which are too high, perhaps, for the sale of a single cargo."
"The two squadrons of frigates which got out a short time ago, have returned, after having burnt several American Vessels which had been in England."
PHILADELPHIA, June 15.
Lazaretto, June 14.—Arrived here ship Charlotte from Havanna, but last, 14 days from New Providence; and the ship Ocean, captain Girdon, 42 days from Rotterdam, with thirty-one men belonging to three American vessels condemned by the French. Captain Girdon brings dispatches from Mr. Armstrong, whom he says, was still at Paris, for our government.
The Hon. Senate and house of Representatives of the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
GENTLEMEN,
It has been my endeavour, as I have conceived it was my duty, while holding a seat in the Senate of the Union to support the administration of the General Government, in all necessary measures, within its competency, the object of which was to preserve from seizure and depredation the persons and property of our citizens, and to vindicate the rights essential to the Independence of our country, against the unjust pretensions and aggressions of all foreign powers.
Certain resolutions recently passed by you, have expressed your disapprobation of measures to which, under the influence of these motives, I gave my assent; as far as the opinions of a majority in the Legislature can operate, I cannot but consider these resolutions as enjoining upon the Representation of the State in Congress a sort of opposition to the National Administration, in which I cannot consistently with my principles concur.
To give you, however, an opportunity of placing in the Senate of the United States a member, who may devise and
enforce the means of Relieving our fellow-citizens from their present sufferings, without sacrificing the peace of the nation, the personal liberties of our seamen, or the neutral rights of our commerce, I now restore to you the trust committed to my charge, and resign my seat as a Senator of the United States, on the part of the Commonwealth.
I am with perfect respect, Gentlemen,
Your very humble, and obedient servant,
JOHN Q. ADAMS.

Mr. Lloyd was then appointed to fill the temporary vacancy, occasioned by this resignation.
Extract of a letter from Salem, dated June 9.
"On Tuesday arrived schooner Raven, Tharndike, from Passamaquoddy, with salt. By her we have information that there is no relaxation of business at that place, notwithstanding the government force stationed there. The inhabitants were employed at 2 dollars per day to keep guard over the stores, and yet under cover of every fog, hundreds of barrels a day would find their way across to the British side, where the price was 12 50. So profitable was the boating business, and the standing guard, that the poor people had suddenly become rich."
We are informed by a gentleman just arrived from Charleston, that one of the French privateers which lately sailed from that place, was permitted by the collector to take away a full cargo of provisions, under pretence of being bound to the Isle of France on a long cruise.
From the Kennebec Gazette of June 3.
DISTURBANCES and ALARM still continue to agitate this country. On Tuesday last, during the sitting of the Supreme Court, Sheriff Chandler notified the Court that he had good reason to apprehend from the movement of the insurgents in the North East part of the country, that an attempt would be made to rescue Nathan Barlow, one of the insurgents, who was in Gaol. The court directed the sheriff to do his duty.—General Chandler immediately called out the militia composed, of capt. Eastman's company of cavalry, capt. Vose's light infantry, and part of captains Thomas and Shubael Pitt's companies, together with a corps of Volunteers, in which several of the gentlemen of the bar entered the list. This precautionary measure frustrated the designs of these deluded people. Thus much for the vote-gathering proclamation. It is however to be observed that the thinking part of these discontented are fast leaving their masked brethren since the change in the State Legislature. They find their pretended friends have promised what they are not like to perform.
Extract of a letter from Havanna to a gentleman in N. York, of a recent date.
"Vessels are dropping in here every four or five days from New Orleans, with loads of flour. They come off the port, and then send in a deputation to the governor, requesting him to send off a gun boat to take them!! Flour is worth about Twenty-five Dollars."

BRIGADE ORDERS.
MAURY COUNTY, April 27, 1808.
Gentlemen,
"I have lately received information from Gen. Andrew Jackson, that the Indians have murdered three families, consisting of twenty-one persons, a small distance below the mouth of Duck river and two days previous to that (which should have been done on the 5th inst.) they attacked a boat of Major Colbert's in Tennessee river, on board of which were five white men—They killed two and wounded three, one of which has since died of his wounds—the general's informant reports, that there are encamped on the south bank of the Tennessee, a hostile band of Creek Indians amounting to four hundred and forty, and with them twelve white men. If this be the case, it is high time to prepare for war. I am ordered by the general, without delay, to place and keep my brigade in complete readiness, so that I may, if called on, furnish my quota with the shortest notice, and wait his further orders, or the orders of government—you will therefore immediately make such arrangements in your respective regiments as will ensure to you and me the confidence of our country. You will direct the volunteers within your regiments to be in readiness and

on the alert, as they will be considered as minute men if emergency should require, or a call from the president."
MARTINSBURG, June 24.
Died on Wednesday last, deeply regretted by a numerous circle of relatives and friends, Mrs. CHENOWETH, wife of Mr. Samuel Chenoweth, of this County.
We have been favoured (says the Philadelphia Gazette,) with the perusal of numerous late letters, from different parts of the continent. It appears from these that the letters per the Osage, on her arrival, were sent up to Paris, where they were all examined. Although the Osage arrived at L'Orient the 23d of March, her letters did not reach Antwerp until the 25th of April. Some of the letters per the Ocean, state that the ship had been seized by the government. Others assert that she would sail for Falmouth, about the 20th April. Indeed one from Paris, dated the middle of April, positively states, that Major Lewis, the messenger, had returned to L'Orient to embark.
By a decree of the Council of Prizes, of the 19th of March, the case of the ship Caliope, Taylor, sequestered in the port of L'Orient, under the decree of his imperial majesty and king, of the 17th Dec. 1807, Orders, first that all the articles composing said cargo, shall be put in possession of the consignee thereof—That full and sufficient security, be given by said consignee for the amount—That the ship to remain sequestered as she now is.
Our Members of Congress. In the Albany Register, we have the certificates of the proper officers, that the following persons are respectively elected by the greatest number of votes, returned to the secretary's office.

Gould.  14th do. Vincent Matthews.  1st do. Ebenezer Sage.  2d do. { Gurdon S. Mumford. William Denning.  3d do. Jonathan Fisk.  8th do. John Thompson.  10th do. John Nicholson.  12th do. Erastus Root.  13th do. Uri Tracy.  19th do. Peter B. Porter. 
The eight first are federalists of the Old School. Of the remaining 9, we consider 2 as bitter democrats, 3 as moderate men, and who will at least sometimes and perhaps altogether be found in the federal ranks. To speak of the whole in the lump, however, we should say, that there are 8 federalists and 9 democrats, of course, that in all political questions in Congress, the state of N. York will possess the right and dignity of one vote.
(N. Y. E. Post.)
AN article under the head of Nashville, May 12, contains detailed official correspondences on the subject of the rumours of a warlike attitude assumed by the Greeks, and their attack upon a boat near the mouth of Duck River. These rumours appear to have been generally unfounded or exaggerated; and it is said that the party, which attacked the boat, were not acknowledged among the Greeks. "Colbert was lately in the Creek nation. The Chief said he wished peace, and would not go to war with the white people, UNLESS BUONAPARTE DID; that the Indians who had made the attack on the boat, had not lived in the nation for ten years, and the act was unauthorised by the nation." This passage is extracted from the report of Captain Swann, deputed by General Johnson to inquire into facts and circumstances. From the same document it appears, that the information upon which General Jackson issued his orders for military arrangements, proved to be "utterly false."
Were we disposed to imitate the example of cotemporary prints, we should enlarge upon the event by which the Creek chief chose to limit the continuance of the pacific conduct of the nation. But although we expect not any lessons to emanate from the present holders of the Floridas, of a nature to confirm the habits of the Indians in an amicable disposition; and although foreign intrigues are doubtless lurking in our own territories, whose contagion is shed among that powerful nation of savages, we do not think Colbert's relation, explained in so imperfect a manner, a fit foundation for any further observations to-day.

SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
Glad Tidings. —Yesterday week the books of the Petersburg Manufacturing Society were opened, and 25,000 dollars immediately subscribed for. Thus have our citizens set an example glorious to themselves, and of inculcable advantage to their country—an example which
has been seconded by the metropolis, and should be followed by every town and county in Virginia. If the citizens at large will be faithful to themselves, and encourage their own productions, the time is not distant when we shall be independent, not only in name, but in reality.
Already have many of our citizens clad themselves in homespun; and we with pleasure record the almost unanimous determination of the Petersburg Troop of Cavalry to appear, on the 4th of July, with an uniform of white Virginian cloth. Instead of European manufacture, would it not be praiseworthy in the officers of militia to wear constantly pantaloons & waistcoats of the growth and product of our own fields and loom.

Gen. Turreau has recently had conferences with Mr. Madison, some of which continued three hours. This would look as if something of unusual interest engaged the attention of the two governments.

Adams is nominated as Vice-President in the American, a leading paper in the support of Mr. Madison—We have not interfered in the electoral schism; but we must be permitted to say, that the democrats have made very unfortunate selections of vice president's if Mr. Clinton has injured his party so much as is stated. Mr. Burr's conduct is generally known: and much hopes cannot be entertained of Mr. Adams, whose chief merit and first recommendation to favor, has been his infidelity to another party, diametrically opposite to that which is now willing to thrust him forward.
To the editor of the American.
SIR,
That man who dares be honest in the worst of times, and sacrifices the ambitious walks of offices at the shrine of patriotism, who bares the traitor to his vizar, and exhibits his treason to public execration, is certainly preferable to that character, whose patriotism has been so long at market until it has become dog cheap. He is certainly more entitled to public confidence, whose approving conduct has assisted the helmsman in steering the barque of state through the stormy season of the past session, than he whose confidential letters have had a tendency to shake the confidence of a portion of society in their rulers, by a proscription of the embargo, with a design of compelling an acknowledgment of his unbounded influence, to coerce an admission of his weighty claim on the presidential chair, and whose apathy to the union of the republican citizens of America, will suffer his selfishness to preponderate over their wishes.
The present incumbent of the Vice-President has suffered his name to be made use of by an individual printer, as a candidate for the first honors of the country, against the wishes of a great portion of the citizens of America, thro' their representatives in Congress, and by this act has given sanction to the idea that he wishes not to continue in his present exalted station. Therefore, I think it would be doing a public duty, to show our contempt of the paralyzing endeavor of the British partisans in the Massachusetts legislature, to thwart the measures of government in their career of duty, to hold JOHN QUINCY ADAMS forth as a deserving candidate for the Vice-Presidency. In making this proposal public, you will gratify the wishes of thousands of your
REPUBLICAN FELLOW-CITIZENS.
For the Intelligencer.
Mr. ALBERTS. To comply in full with the remarks preliminary to the publication in your paper, of the secret instructions given to Mr. Power, who was the agent in common between the Spanish government and the conspirators in Kentucky and the Territories on the waters of the Mississippi, would require a development of facts and circumstances too lengthy for a News-paper. Such developments are, however, now preparing; and will be published at length, as soon as they are completed, and other circumstances will admit. I shall, at present, therefore, only observe, that Mr. Power's conduct, pursuant to the instructions given, call on me at Natchez, and presented certain interrogatories in the handwriting of Capt. Campbell Smith, which were from the circumstances of the case, calculated to implicate gen. Wayne, and to establish certain charges against him, which gen. Wilkinson had thought proper to suggest. This business of turning the Tables seems to be in part to this gentleman. For the establishment of a case against him he relied principally upon his own testimony, and to induce me to co-operate in such
views, the most ample rewards were offered, mingled with threats in case I should decline the co-operation. Those views were inimical to the U. States.
In consequence of certain facts and circumstances discovered through me in '94, in the army and in Kentucky, gen. Wayne was convinced that he was surrounded by a conspiracy of a very formidable nature; and therefore took measures to discover its extent, and object, and especially the principal actors. General Wayne had acted precipitately, in the first instance, and had given advantages to his adversary; the confidence of gen. Wayne, having been betrayed to gen. Wilkinson, so far as the betrayer had it in his power. Had gen. Wayne lived, and his confidence not have been betrayed, he probably would have succeeded. This piece of treachery disconcerted the views of gen. Wayne. Mr. Power's visit to me in Natchez, and afterwards that of Mr. Nolan, placed within my knowledge the principal actors, their object and the plans the conspirators had, and were then pursuing against general Wayne, to get him removed from the head of the army. Gen. Wayne, and Capt. Lewis, were peculiarly obnoxious to the conspirators. But neither of those gentlemen were capable of keeping pace with the intriguing and corrupting facilities of the conspirators; for like a certain Fish, they so discoloured their way, as almost to bid defiance to pursuit. However, gen. Wayne, fortunately for them, died; and as to myself, they had the advantage of me, and had nothing to do but to cry mad dog; and from the peculiarity of my case, I could not then help myself. This their dirty agents done meanly and sneakingly, in all cases, such as Charles Hyde and others, when it was deemed necessary to excite prejudices against me. Mr. Hyde is the man who so persecuted Mr. Stockdale, first by causing him to be thrown into confinement, and then by meanly oppressing him, and endeavoured to compel him to disclose the purport of his visit to me at Louisville by order of gen. Wayne. A considerable sum of money was offered Mr. Stockdale to disclose, by gen. Wilkinson. These transactions were published in the "Western World."
That gen. Wilkinson was in Treaty with the Spaniards in '96 and '97, respecting a dismemberment of the Union, was clearly and distinctly known to me. But gen. Wilkinson as clearly and distinctly denied it, and gave the whole of the transactions in the Western country on this subject such a turn that even in spite of myself, I have been in part deceived; as would appear by several letters addressed to him and others. But general Wilkinson, in Richmond, admitted to me that he had held a correspondence with the Spaniards on the subject; but declared most solemnly—That he never seriously designed the dismemberment of the Union, and that his only object was to Cheat the Spaniards of their money; and that he had cheated them out of more than half a million of dollars for himself and his friends. It would not, perhaps, have been material to my knowing the object of the conspiracy, in '96 and '97, had gen. Wayne lived. I was within the power of the Spaniards, and the conspirators, and they could have shaped my destiny as they pleased. My being thus situated was in consequence of the confidence of general Wayne having been betrayed to gen. Wilkinson. If there were none others in the U. States concerned in this affair but gen. Wilkinson, there would be but little danger of either the Spaniards or the U. States being cheated again in the same way. But there are others. They are behind the curtain. What excellent material is to cheat a French Emperor—If he should happen to fall in their way.

PROPOSALS for printing by SUBSCRIPTION, The Armenian Skeleton, BY WILLIAM HUNTINGTON.
THE publisher has been induced to offer a new American edition of this work to the public from the scarcity of it, (it being almost out of print) and with the hope that its circulation will be a great public good, and have a tendency to point out to searchers after righteousness the true path in which it may be found. He trusts that it will richly repay those for its perusal who are in search after Divine truths; all who wish to see the glorious Gospel promoted and spread through our land, he doubts not, will feel a disposition to encourage this scarce and valuable work. The publisher is not actuated by interested views in offering this work to the public; his sole object is the dissemination of truths necessary for every human creature to be acquainted with; he only wishes to obtain as many subscribers as will pay for the printing, his own situation being such as to put it out of his power to have it republished without the aid of others. The work will probably make from 250 to 300 duodecimo pages; it shall be well printed on good paper, and the price, half bound, shall not exceed one dollar; those who wish them bound in leather can have them at the additional expense of binding; if the number of subscribers should be equal to his expectation, the price in all probability will be less. The work will be put to press so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to pay for the printing. Subscriptions received at the office of the Intelligencer. JOHN HUTCHINSON. June 3, 1808.
THE subscribers, in addition to their former assortment, have just received and finished opening a complete and handsome variety of SPRING and SUMMER GOODS,
(too extensive to particularize,) among which are an elegant assortment of Ladies' and Gentlemen's fashionable Manufactures, together with A very general selection of the most permanent EUROPEAN, INDIA and other Merchandise, the whole of which they most respectfully recommend to customers particularly, and a liberal public generally, at the most reduced Cash rates—For all former favors conferred they gratefully request permission to return public thanks, hoping in all respects relative to their line of business to merit a continuance of patronage.  THOMAS C. SMITH, & Co. Martinsburg, May 13, 1808.
BY virtue of a deed of trust executed to the subscribers by Christopher Tederick and Elizabeth his wife, to secure sundry debts and executions therein named, due to William Bell and others, they will proceed to sell at public vendue, for ready money, on the premises, on Saturday the 2d day of July next, a tract of Land situate on Sleepy Creek in Berkeley County, adjoining the lands of Philip Stout, Jacob Courtney and John Heikson, and containing one hundred and three acres—On the premises are a comfortable Dwelling House and other buildings—the land is tolerably fertile, and with a little expense could be made a good and convenient farm.  JOHN ROBINSON, JOHN HUNTER, Trustees. June 10, 1808.
STRAY MARE.
TAKEN up trespassing on the plantation of the subscriber, near Opecon bridge, on the 3d instant, a dark sorrel mare, with both hind feet white and a blaze face, about fourteen hands high and supposed to be nine years old, has a small white spot near the root of her tail, no brand, trots naturally and had a horse lock on her fore foot when taken up. The owner is desired to prove property, pay charges and take her away.  GEORGE TABLER. June 10, 1808.
NOTICE.
ALL persons indebted to the subscriber, are requested to come and settle their respective accounts, particularly those indebted to the late firm of Meminger & Cooper, whose accounts can admit of no further indulgence.

He has now in his employ John Grove, well known as an excellent Watch repairer—and for the convenience of persons, in or near Martinsburg, who may want their watches cleaned or repaired, he has engaged Joseph M'Feely of that place, to receive them for him, to whom they will be returned when finished. All Clocks made by him, will, as usual, be ensured to perform with accuracy.  REES BRANSON. 6th Month, 10th, 1808.
