RUSSIAN MANIFESTO.
The events which have spread over Europe the horrors of bloodshed and desolation, from an insatiable thirst of conquest and aggrandizement in the present usurped government of France, are manifest to the whole world. Our endeavors to set bounds to this evil, and to preserve the tranquility and integrity of the powers in alliance with us by pacific measures, all proved ineffectual. The perfidy with which the common enemy violate the sanctities of treaties and the rights of nations, threatening Europe with universal devastation, incited us at last to take up arms in support of neighbouring kingdoms. The series of disasters that befel the Austrian armies, obliged that monarch to conclude a disadvantageous peace, on terms dictated by the ambition of the conqueror at the dire necessity of circumstances. After this, Prussia, vainly attempting to check the chief by the establishment of a general and solid peace, through the means of negotiation, notwithstanding all her sacrifices for the sake of preserving her alliance with France. Notwithstanding all her compliances with the demands of this common enemy, could not long remain exempt from the calamities of war. Lulled into a state of delusive security by the prospect of peace, which she vainly hoped to enjoy, and the mistaken confidence she reposed in a treacherous ally, she was suddenly plunged into the very abyss of ruin. The armies of Napoleon, falling on the Prussian troops before they had been made an easy conquest of the defenceless capital, and seized the greatest part of the provinces of that kingdom.
In such a situation of affairs, seeing this neighboring power which divided the western borders of our empire from France, destitute of all further means of defence, it became indispensably necessary for us to advance our armies under the command of field marshal count Kamenskoy, for the defence of our territories, menaced on that side with an hostile invasion, we ordered every effort to be made for the defeat of this dangerous assailant, who, in the proclamation he has published, carries his audacity so far, as openly to threaten that he did extend his triumphs even over our dominions.
At the commencement of this inevitable war, the whole burthen of which, after the total overthrow of our allies, devolves upon our country, we consider it our first duty to redouble our unceasing efforts for the preservation of our tranquility and integrity of our empire, by augmenting and collecting the armed force of a faithful, brave and magnanimous people, entrusted to our administration by Almighty Providence. The miseries which have so rapidly overtaken the neighboring powers, evince the necessity of recourse to unusual means to grant and vigorous measures which can only be carried into effect by a zealous attachment to our country, a manly firmness of spirit, and a true sense of national honor. A people really inspired and actuated by sentiments of that description; arming in a body, may raise an insurmountable rampart against every hostile attack, however formidable. Neglect in providing for their internal security, by such general armaments; during the present contest with France, opposition to her system of plunder and rapine, has been attended with the most pernicious consequences to Austria, and not a little contributed to the downfall of Prussia. Their fate was determined by the loss of a few battles, after which the enemy, meeting no obstacle, and dreading an opposition from any unarmed populace, suddenly forced his way through the interior by his rapid and violent depredations, destroyed the scattered remains of a routed army, and effected a total overthrow of their empires. The bravery of the Russian troops, and the victories which their unexampled firmness, for a century past has gained over every foreign foe, to the remotest corners of the earth; the trophies still existing in various parts of these realms which have been extorted by their achievements; and the recollection of the glory they have thus acquired, affords us the strongest ground to hope
No. 1120

that on the present occasion, under the dispensations of Providence, whose blessings attend the arms of the just, all the machinations of our enemies may be confounded, and that the only traces they leave behind them upon our soil will be their own graves.
The immense tract of country upon which these armies must act, occasioning many difficulties in the way of their speedy and mutual cooperation for the defence of an extensive frontier, the evident danger which would arise, in case (which God forbid should ever happen) the enemy might penetrate into the interior of our empire, compel us to adopt the most efficacious measures to avert it by the establishment of a general temporary armament or militia, which may be ready in all quarters at a moment's notice, to support the regular troops, and able to oppose to the enemy at every stop the invincible force of the true sons of their country, united for the preservation of their most valuable enjoyments.
In such arduous circumstances we refer with the fullest confidence to the distinguished order of the hereditary nobility of our empire, by whose faithful services in the field of battle, and extensive sacrifices both of life and property, Russia has been elevated to her present greatness, to that order which any examples of heroism, has on all occasions animated and assisted the subordinate members of the empire to participate in the salvation, defence and glory of our country. The memorable proofs of patriotism and of loyalty displayed in ancient and modern times by the nobility of Russia, and their well known readiness on every occasion where the common good requires their exertions, to obey the summons of their sovereign, to meet with spirit every toil, and every danger for the service of the empire, convince us how cordially, zealously and efficaciously it will co-operate with us for the speedy and successful completion of such a provisional armament of militia, as is indispensably required, and now ordained for public security, according to the regulations annexed hereto.
"We are likewise assured, that our faithful corporations, and every class of citizens, as well as the crown peasants, and free boors through the country, will unite their efforts to bear the common burthen of this important public duty for the defence of our holy faith, and for individual preservation.
"May the servants of the church of God offer up in concert with ourselves, and all our faithful subjects, the most fervent prayers towards the Supreme disposer of events, that he may shed his divine favor on our efforts to avert the common danger, to vanquish and exterminate the foe, and to restore the blessings of peace and tranquility in the heart of our empire."
To this manifesto is annexed a proclamation for erecting immediately a provisional force, or militia of 612,000 men.—For this purpose, the different governments throughout the Russian empire are divided into seven districts, each of which, according to a plan laid down, is to furnish a certain number of troops. These seven armies or contingents of districts were to be formed as soon as the making out lists, and appointing officers, had been gone through—but they were to continue no longer embodied than the present danger existed.
WARSAW, Jan. 27.
An old man, 117 years of age, has been presented to the emperor, who has given him a pension of 100 Napoleons, and has ordered him a year's advance.
Francis Ignat Narocki, born at Witki, near Wilna, was the son of Joseph and Anne Narocki—he is of a noble family, and in his youth carried arms. He was engaged in the confederacy of Bar, was made a prisoner by the Russians and conducted to Kasan. Having lost the little fortune which he had, he employed himself in agriculture on the lands of a curate. He was first married at seventy years of age, and had four children by this marriage. At 85 years of age, he took a second wife, and had six children by her, who are all dead. There only remains to him his first son by his former wife. The king of Prussia, in consideration of his great age, had granted him a pension of 27 Polish florins a month, or 14 livers, 8 sols, French money. He is subject to no infirmity, enjoys a good memory, and speaks the Latin tongue with great facility. He quotes the classics with great propriety and readiness. The petition annexed was entirely written by his own hand. The character is very firm and every legible.
PETITION.
SIR, My baptismal record is dated in the year 1090—consequently I am now 117 years old.
I still recollect the battle of Vienna, and the times of John Sobieski.
I thought never to have seen the like again—but certainly I still less expected to see renewed the career of Alexander.
My age has procured me courtesies from all the sovereigns who have been here—and I ask those of the great Napoleon, being at my time of life superannuated, and beyond the power of labour.
Live, sir, as long as I have lived; your glory indeed does not require it, but the happiness of the human race demands it.
ROTTERDAM, Jan. 13.
A dreadful misfortune has just happened to the city of Leyden, the seat of the principal university of the kingdom of Holland: it was yesterday, Monday, 12th January, partly destroyed and laid waste, and covered with mourning. The explosion of a boat laden with 250 barrels of powder, which was passing through one of its canals, called the Rapensburg, about 4 o'clock in the evening. The number of the victims of this cruel accident has not yet been ascertained; but it appears to be very considerable. Among the killed are men whose loss is highly deplorable for that interesting city, the centre of the sciences and erudition, such as professors Jehn Luzac and Ancis Kluit; a great number of young students of the college called tot oud van't Algemeen, &c. The affrighted citizens are abandoning their shaken houses, which threatened to fall in every moment. The professors Rau and his family have been fortunate enough to be dug out of the ruins. The king immediately, and repeatedly, repaired to that scene of desolation, and testified the most tender concern for the sufferers; who were sensibly affected with his paternal kindness. He has offered his palace of the house in the wood, as a provisional asylum to those who are without any, and he thus acquires, upon this melancholy occasion, a sacred title to the love and gratitude of a city, where one of the first effects of a liberal education is to know how to appreciate virtue and merit.
HAGUE, JAN. 16.
Letter from H. M. the king of Holland, to his excellency the minister of the interior.
MR. MOLLERUS,
The disaster which has happened at Leyden is a general misfortune; the charitable gifts which have been transmitted us from all sides, justify the present moment we had entertained, in this conjectured that the whole nation would take a share in the affliction of our town of Leyden, interesting in every respect, and more particularly so at the present moment. We were occupied in seeking the means of restoring it to its ancient splendour, when this unfortunate event took place; but we hope that notwithstanding all difficulties which may present themselves, we may be able not only quickly to repair every thing which, in such a misfortune, it is in the power of men to repair, but also to attain the wished for end of its restoration and the re-establishment of its ancient prosperity.
It is with satisfaction we perceive how much the sentiments of the nation are conformable to our own in this respect, and it is our wish to facilitate to every one the means of contributing to so honourable a design.
We in consequence instruct you to make known to the departmental administrations, that they are to open Registers and cause others to be opened as quickly as possible in the towns, boroughs and villages within their jurisdiction, for the purpose of inscribing all the charitable gifts, which they intend making, in order to succour the town of Leyden.—They shall be sent to you. You shall be authorized to employ them, conformably to the regulation which shall be drawn up by us on your proposal. With regard to the residence, the Register shall be opened on the 18th inst. at the office of the minister of the Interior, where it shall be intrusted to the care of the secretary general. It shall be for the purpose of keeping an account of the sums given as charity by all persons belonging to the court, such as the ministers, counsellors of state, legislators, members of divers authorities, administrations, and also by private persons who live in the residence.
Upon which, Mr. Mollerus, I pray God to have you in his holy keeping. (Signed) LOUIS.
CARLSRUHE, JAN. 8.
On the 30th ult. Doctor Gall finished at Rastadt his lectures on the discoveries made by him during the last twenty five years, on the structure of the brain, on its organs, and on skulls. Conformably to the desire of H. R. H. the grand duke of Baden and of the publick, doctor Gall entered into similar explanation at Carlsruhe, in a course delivered to the court, and in the two others delivered in the town. H. R. H. the grand duke, as well as his illustrious family, were not only pleased to manifest their approbation of the important discoveries of doctor Gall, by making him, as well as his disciple who demonstrates, doctor Spurzheim, a handsome present, but also intreated this great observer of human nature to visit, in company with the Aulick counsellor Holzmann, all the Bridewells, prisons and mad houses throughout the territory of Baden, in order to give the necessary information concerning the changes to be made in them.
VIENNA, JAN. 7.
It is asserted that the Austrian monarchy is going to be divided into three governments. Galicia, as a military country, will be placed under a civil and military administration. Hungary will preserve its present constitution. Upper and Lower Austria, with the country of Salsburgh, will form the first government. The second will be formed by Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia; and the third by Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Gorizia and the Frioul. Count Wallis, first burgrave of Prague, will be at the head of the first government, the capital of which will be Vienna. Count Ugarte, grand chancellor of Bohemia, will be at the head of the second and will reside at Prague. Count Saurau, governor of anterior Austria, will be governor of the third, of which Gratz will be the capital. These governors are to have with them counsellors of regency. The regencies and provincial States will be dissolved.
WARSAW, JAN. 27.
The fifth corps of the grand army were at winter quarters in Warsaw, as a tribute to their good services in the action at ultursk. General Victor's troops who were to engage in the siege of Dantzick, were twenty eight thousand. The Austrian general Baron Vincent was at Warsaw, it is said, upon the subject of supplies from Galicia.
BAMBERG, JAN. 23.
The French troops in the north are reckoned at 300,000. The Poles have supplied 30,000. After the reduction of the fortress of Silesia, all the confederates, amounting to more than 100,000, will join the grand army. Reinforcements continue to arrive, so that at the opening of the next campaign, Napoleon will command 500,000 men, with whom he expects to execute his vast plans, and obtain a durable peace.
GENOA, JAN. 14.
We are informed that the troops of Piedmont have orders to march, and to unite at Udine.—It is expected that they will move through Dalmatia to Bosnia to assist the Turks against the Russians. From Milan of the same date, letters say that troops are collecting in the Italian kingdom, whose destination is unknown. Some say that Massena is to command them, with such troops as are no longer necessary in Naples.
CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 18.
War has been declared against Russia. The whole country is in motion. The pachas of Romelia have had orders to march all their troops to the Danube. An army from Asia is in movement in the same direction. The Patriarch of the Greek church has warned the Greeks against the perfidies of the Russians.
SILISTRIA, DEC. 23.
The Turks are passing Bulgaria in all directions towards Rossow, and the southern bank of the Danube is covered with troops. The movements are general.
NAPLES, DEC. 26.
Marshal Massena left this city last evening for Paris. He took his suite with him. The senate acknowledged his services, and made a present in value of 16,000 ducats. Abundance is everywhere enjoyed, and no means have been neglected to encourage commerce and open free communications through the country. Even Calabria, after all its sufferings in all its provinces, enjoys a full supply of all kinds of provisions.
PULTUSK, JAN. 8.
The emperor spent three days here after the battle of Golyn, and had his head quarters in the Episcopal palace.—The town is situated in form of an amphitheatre upon the right bank of the Narew. The Russians abandoned their
artillery, and the generals left their carriages. In the woods of Pultusk are everywhere found the slain, whom the Russian prisoners are employed to bury. The regiments left their baggage and sick behind. The season will not suffer us to advance. Neither men nor artillery can advance through the mud, through which every attempt to pass would be in vain.
FRANKFORT, JAN. 9.
Letters from Prague and Vienna persist that the emperor of Austria is labouring to open negotiations between the belligerent powers, and that this is one of the principal objects of the mission of general baron Vincent to the head quarters of the French army.
January 22.
The court Gazette of Vienna encourages the belief that a very active correspondence exists between Constantinople and the grand army of the French.
January 24.
From Hamburg we learn, that the Swedish secretary had required that troops should be placed in Holstein to prevent the French troops from occupying the coast. The answer was, that the French had respected the neutrality of Denmark; that the interest of the court of Copenhagen had required that the French troops should withdraw from Holstein; but that it could not consent to the proposal of Sweden. This reply had displeased the king of Sweden, who had withdrawn his minister from Copenhagen.
UMBERG, Jan. 16.
Letters from Hungary assure, that the Russian forces under gen. Michelson, which have entered Turkey, had it not as their sole object to seize Moldavia and Wallachia, but intend to pass thro' Bulgaria into Turkish Albania, to join the Montenegrins and the Russians at Cattaro. Some later accounts discover that these were at that time conjectures only.
HAGUE, Jan. 23.
Letters from Petersburg of the 19th December, inform that the emperor of Russia had forbidden not only all commerce, but all correspondence with France or any of the allies of that power.
AUGSBURG, Dec. 7.
Little doubt exists of a good understanding between Austria and France. We are informed that the Russian ambassador, count Shuvalowski, has expressed his satisfaction at the intercourse which he has kept up for several weeks.
NEW YORK, April 20.
Passengers within the recollection of the present generation, arrived at this place about two days. The signal was made to the merchant and...
The ship Captain Vose came up in the passage, of 25 days, and reached the Bar on the 19th. Our papers are not yet aware to the later information. The already mentioned George from... circumstances have occurred which have led to a change in the ministry. The following are the names.
The measures which are taking to introduce into the British Imperial Parliament a discussion of what is called "The Catholic Question," which proposes to restore persons professing the Roman Catholic Religion to their eligibility to hold military, naval, and other offices under the crown, and which also removes the Tests which have for a long time been considered by the Catholic and Protestant Dissenters as an odious and unnecessary distinction, have created considerable alarm among the people, and have occasioned much agitation in the cabinet. The present ministry are charged with an attempt to surprize the king's conscience into a total repeal of the Test Laws, especially as far as the army and navy are concerned; but his majesty having gained information of this design to swindle his consent to a measure to which he has been uniformly and zealously opposed, expressed his displeasure and determination to resist it. The ministers it is said offered to retract, to which the king consented on condition that no similar attempts should be made in future; this they have refused to agree to, and intimated that they had taken their resolution, and would not resign, but that his majesty may turn them out if he pleases.
His majesty, thereupon, transmitted a message to Lords Eldon & Hawkesbury, who waited on the Duke of Portland, to

whom the King's command were signified that a NEW ADMINISTRATION should be immediately formed.
The following is published in the Court of the 20th as the probable list of the New Ministry; its authenticity is not vouched for; the arrangements were not expected to be completed before the following week:—
 First Lord of the Treasury, Duke of Portland.  Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Castlereagh.  Foreign Secretary, Mr. Canning.  Home Secretary, Lord Hawkesbury.  War Secretary, Mr. Yorke.  Lord Chancellor, Lord Eldon.  First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Melville.  President of the Council, Lord Camden.  Lord Privy Seal, Earl of Westmoreland.  Master General of Ordnance, Earl Mulgrave.  President Board of Control, Earl of Chatham.  Treasurer of the Navy, Mr. Rose.  Post Master General, Mr. Long.  Secretary at War, Mr. Dundas.  Attorney General, Mr. Perceval.  Solicitor General, Sir V. Gibbs.  Secretaries of the Treasury, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Sturge Bourne.  Lord Lieuts. of Ireland, Earl Hardwicke, or Marcus Abercorn.  Chancellor of Ireland, Lord Redscade. 
HONORABLE TO HUMANITY.
The fire at Detroit the 1st of June, 1805 consumed the houses on 25 streets, lanes and alleys. Sixteen human beings were burnt, and cows, horses, and sheep shared the same fate. The wretched inhabitants escaped with only the linen on their banks. A tribe of the Delaware Indians, who lived within 5 miles of Detroit, held a council the next day, and came to a resolution to relieve the sufferers, and on the third day after the fire sent 18 milch cows, 25 sheep with turkeys, chickens, and others necessaries, to their relief. Major Campbell, the commandant of Fort-Malade, on the British side of the river, also contributed to their relief, and sent them five boat-loads of cloths, shoes and other useful articles.
The above interesting particulars were communicated by Mr. Samuel Andrew Sultz, lately arrived at Carlisle from Detroit, and who was there at the conflagration.
American Brewing. —It is established by fair and successful experiments, that a bright, pale and delightful ale, can be manufactured from the Indian corn (or maize) of the United States. These trials have been actually made by a capital brewing house of this city. Our ability to supply ourselves with a most agreeable and wholesome malt liquor, from a never-failing and cheap raw material, unlimited in quantity, will render it perfectly easy to do, when we please, with much less foreign distilled spirits. These destroy our morals, and injure our agriculture; while our own malt liquors, nourish us in health, and support the farmers and planters. Manufactures have become a mine of riches to this country; and they are a mean in our hands to check the invaders of our natural rights—If they should continue to be invaders.
The following is an abstract of the effective strength, of the volunteers in Great-Britain; distinguished infantry, cavalry, and artillery, according to the latest returns, dated the 1st December, 1806:—
 CAVALRY —Field officers 150; captains 498; subalterns 1032; staff officers 745; serjeants 1556; trumpeters and drummers 520; rank and file 25,189.

ARTILLERY —Field officers 29; captains 151; subalterns 309; staff officers 55; serjeants 351; trumpeters and drummers 228; rank and file 10,482.  TOTAL —Field officers 1487; captains 
4458; subalterns 8797; staff officers 2576; serjeants 1936; trumpeters; and drummers 7505; rank and file 295,180.
New-York, April 20.
Latest from Europe.
FROM LONDON.
By the ship Gold Hunter, captain Vose, in 27 days passage, we have received London papers and Lloyd's Lists to the evening of the 20th of March. They contain nothing later from the armies in Poland. They state that the Russian army under the command of general Michelson, was marching straight to Constantinople, and is already at Georgia, beyond Widdien where it engaged a Turkish corps and killed 8 thousand men, but it sustained itself a loss of three thousand. The Turks are preparing for war with as much activity and vigor as so weak a government is capable of; but long before the preparations are completed the Russians will have over-run the empire, and have fixed their standards on the Walls of Constantinople.
Alexandria, April 13.
A letter from Natchez, received at Pittsburgh, says, "The second in command at Baton Rouge, has been arrested by governor Grandphre, as being concerned in Burr's conspiracy, and sent to Pensacola in irons. A part of the army is hourly expected here, and a squadron of gunboats, &c. under the command of capt. Shaw, is stationed in the river opposite this place."
CONSTANTINOPLE, January 23.
The Manifesto of the Porte against Russia was published here on the 5th inst. It states a number of grievances which it has experienced from Russia for several years past. It begins with the period of the possession of the Crimea and the province of Georgia, and comes down to the recent occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia by general Michelson. It observes, that in consequence of these unworthy proceedings on the part of Russia, every Mussulman is called upon by his religion and his civil duties to avenge himself upon a faithless enemy, and concludes with charging the court of Russia with the responsibility of all the blood that may be shed on this occasion. A copy of this manifesto has been presented to all the foreign ministers residing at Constantinople.
COMMERCIAL.
Mr. Forbes, the American Consul in Hamburg, has made it known to his countrymen, that American vessels have full liberty to sail from the Elbe in ballast, or with such merchandise as is not prohibited, certified as such by him.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS, LOWER ELBE, March 1.
The last battle, fought five miles from Konigsburgh, has been one of the most destructive in the history of the present war. The number of killed on both sides is stated at 30,000. It seems that a strong column of Russians that had escaped the battle of Mohringen, and approached the Vistula, was cut off from the main body and was not able to force its way through the enemy without the greatest difficulty, and the loss of much artillery and men. The Russian centre was six times attacked by the French; if they had succeeded in breaking through it, they would have become masters of Konigsburgh, and the rich magazines in that city.
The Polish insurgents have to regret the loss of one of their bravest leaders, general Kosinka, who has had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by the Prussians.
The Prussian marauding party, that has penetrated as far as Frankfort on the Oder, has, it is said, taken a considerable transport of money.
Frequent skirmishes take place between the Prussians and the Polish confederates in Pomerania.
We are assured that gen. Victor has been exchanged for the prince of Orange. The former, we know, is charged with the expedition against Colberg and Dantzic.
MARTINSBURG, May 1.
On Monday last an Election was held in this town; at the close of the poll, the Votes stood as follows:
   CONGRESS.     John Morrow 206   SENATE OF VIRGINIA.   Lewis Wolf 221   John Hedges 201   ASSEMBLY.   Philip P. Wilson 231   Aaron Faria 225   Jacob Weaver 205   Jacob Rees 191  
We understand from the Richmond Papers that a Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church is to be held, on the second Tuesday of this month in the City of Williamsburg; and that Bishop Madison invites a general meeting of clerical and lay Members.
AARON BURR.
We understand that the marshal of Virginia has sent on subpoenas to both sides of the Ohio, in the neighborhood of Blennerhasset's island, to collect such testimony as relates to the armed association of men, which is said to have taken place on that island. If it be obtained, it will no doubt be exhibited before the next term of the federal court of this district, on the trial of Aaron Burr.
It is also understood that blank subpoenas have been sent on to Washington, to summon such other witnesses as may reside beyond the limits of this district. That this process will be served on general Eaton, commodore Truxton, and every other witness, who lives within the Atlantic states, and can be here at the time of the trial, there can be little doubt. But it is for the same reason uncertain, whether the summons can embrace general Wilkinson and the other witnesses, who are now at New Orleans and on the western waters.
COMMUNICATION.
There cannot be a character more vile and detestable, than that of one, who employs the confidence of his pretended service, to serve his own base purposes;—who scruples not to sacrifice the reputation, property, or life of his friend, at the call of ambition or avarice. Such was the character of JUDAS, and too many JUDAS we have in our modern times, who undertake things the most praiseworthy, while self-interest and emolument are lurking at bottom. Such counterfeiters too frequently intrude themselves into the management of affairs the most laudable, but in the issue, evidence a conduct not dissimilar to the foul apostate. They are full of professions, and fond of carrying the "bag," to devote the contents to their own base purposes, by the lowest arts and most detestable cunning, nor will all the admonitions in the world ever avail in making such men honest or just.
NOTICE.
SOME time in the fore part of last month, I passed my note of hand for ten dollars (payable in 6 months from the date) to Vincent Moore, in part of boot in exchange of Horses, but as the Horse I received is not such as warranted.

E. & T. FINLEY,

HAVE on hand an extensive assortment of Groceries and Liquors, which they offer for sale at reduced prices for cash.
Having experienced considerable inconvenience from the general credit heretofore given, they are induced to decline it—and will therefore after the first of May next, sell for cash, or produce only. This arrangement will enable them to make all their purchases for cash—and they flatter themselves they will be able to sell so much below the usual credit prices, as will be considered an object worthy of attention.
They will exert themselves to make it the interest of all who wish to make purchases for cash, to give them a call.—Orders from a distance will be particularly attended to.
They will continue to purchase Flour and Whiskey as usual, and receive all kinds of produce, on storage or to sell on commission.

THE WELL KNOWN HORSE PRESIDENT,
WILL stand this season, at the sub- scriber's plantation, in sight of Tuscarora Meeting House, 2 miles from Martinsburg, on Mondays, Tues- days, Wednesdays and Thursdays, in each week, and cover mares at four dol- lars the season, two dollars cash the sin- gle leap, and seven dollars for insuring a foal. The money for the season to be paid the first of October next, and for insurance when the mare proves with foal, but if the mare is parted with, the insu- rance to be forfeited.
PRESIDENT is a handsome bay, with a star, snip and four white feet, he is sixteen hands high, six years old this spring, and is remarkably strong and ac- tive. He was got by Col. Burwell's full bred Horse Matchless, out of a handsome Eusopus mare. It is thought unnecessary to say any thing more of his pedigree, as his colts, which are very fine and well known in this neighbour- hood, will better recommend him, and his appearance alone, would be satisfac- tory to good judges.
The season will begin the 1st of April, and end the last day of June next. JONATHAN CUSHWA. March 20, 1807.
