NOTICE.
WHEREAS I did, in the year 1803, bargain & sell a mare to a certain Wm. Grimes, for which he gave me his obligation, which became due on the 1st day of March, 1804; said Grimes has failed to pay any part thereof, according to our agreement; I was somewhat doubtful that I should lose the price of my mare, as the said Grimes appears to be in an unsettled situation at this time. Whereas the said Grimes on the 24th inst. made a public sale to dispose of his effects, at which sale I purchased property to the amount of the above obligation; said Grimes refused to give me the property unless I would give my notes agreeable to the terms of the sale, which I refused to do, said Grimes then agreed that he would not part with my notes until he discharged his obligation, and on these conditions I gave my notes, one to the amount of sixty dollars, and the other for thirteen dollars and seventy-five cents, which will become due on the 24th of August next: I do therefore warn all persons from taking assignments on the above notes, as I am determined not to pay them without making a discount with said Grimes.

SENATE of the UNITED STATES.
February 13.
Agreeably to notice given yesterday, Mr. Adams asked and obtained leave to bring in a bill, to prevent the abuse of the privileges and immunities enjoyed by foreign ministers within the United States, which was read and passed to the third reading.
A BILL.
To prevent the abuse of the privileges and immunities enjoyed by foreign ministers within the United States.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That from and after the passage of this act, if any foreign ambassador, minister or other person, entitled to enjoy within the United States the privileges and immunities of a foreign minister, shall commit any violation of the municipal laws, which, if committed by a person amenable to the ordinary judicial authority of the place, where such ambassador, minister, or other person, may be at the time of committing such offence, would be indictable by a grand jury, and punishable by death, by corporal punishment, or by imprisonment or confinement to labour, the president of the U. States, upon application made to him by the executive authority of the state or territory where such offence may be committed, or upon the complaint to him of any person injured or aggrieved by such offence so committed, and upon proofs of the facts, satisfactory to the said president, being furnished to him in support of such application or complaint, shall be, and hereby is, authorised to demand of the sovereign of the said offending ambassador, minister, or other person, justice upon the offender, and reparation to any person, or persons, thus injured or aggrieved, and in case of the refusal or neglect of the said sovereign, to comply with such demand for justice and reparation, the president of the United States is hereby further authorised, to order such ambassador, minister, or other person so offending, to depart from the United States, and the territories thereof; or to send him home to his sovereign, according to the aggravation of the offence, and at his the said president's discretion.
Sect. 2. And be it further enacted, That from and after the passage of this act, if any foreign ambassador, minister, or other person entitled to enjoy within the United States the privileges and immunities of a foreign minister, shall within the United States or the territories thereof commit any act of hostility or enter into any conspiracy against the government of the United States, or shall personally insult or treat with disrespect the president of the United States for time being, the said president shall be, and is hereby authorised at his discretion, to order the said ambassador, minister, or other person so offending, to withdraw from the seat of government and the territory of Columbia, or to depart from the United States and the territories thereof; and in case of refusal or neglect by such ambassador, minister, or other person, as aforesaid, to obey such order within a reasonable time, of which the said president shall judge, the said president shall be, and is hereby further authorised, to send the said ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid, home to his sovereign; and in either case to demand of the said sovereign, the punishment of such offending ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid, according to the nature and aggravation of the offence, and conformably to the laws of nations.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That in every case, when the president of the United States shall, under the authority of this act, order any foreign ambassador, minister, or other person entitled to enjoy within the United States the privileges and immunities of a foreign minister, to withdraw from the seat of government and the territory of Columbia; or to depart from the United States and the territories thereof; or shall send any such offending ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid home to his sovereign; the said president

shall in the order given to such ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid to depart, or to withdraw, signifying the offence upon which such order shall be founded; and shall assign to the sovereign of the said ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid, the reasons for which such order shall have been given, or for which the said ambassador, minister or for which other person as aforesaid shall be sent home; particularly specifying that such proceedings are not on account of any national differences, but on account of the personal misconduct of such ambassador, minister, or other person as aforesaid.
CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES.
HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES.
February 4.
On motion of Mr. Sloan the house went into a committee of the whole on the bill imposing a duty on slaves imported into the United States: Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair.
A motion made by Mr. Gregg, requiring the duty to be paid at the time of entry, was agreed to: Ayes 54, Noes 24.
Mr. J. Randolph moved, with the view of getting rid of the business, that the committee should rise.
The motion was supported by Messrs. J. Randolph and Holland, and opposed by Messrs. Smilie, Fisk, Sloan, and Southard, and disagreed to—Ayes 42, Noes 61.
Mr. Bidwell moved an amendment limiting the imposition of the duty to the 1st day of January, 1808.
Mr. Sloan spoke against the amendment, which was agreed to: Ayes 55, Noes 27.
Mr. Bidwell then offered a new section prohibiting the importation of slaves into the U. States, after the 1st day of January, 1808.
Mr. Bidwell supported, and Messrs. J. Clay and Dana opposed this section, which was agreed to: Ayes 17.
Mr. D. R. Williams proposed a new section prohibiting the introduction, after the passage of this act, into the territories of the United States, of slaves hereafter imported into the U. States.
After a short debate on this motion, the committee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again.
Mr. J. Randolph opposed leave being given them to sit again; and Messrs. Jackson and Smilie supported it; when the question was taken at a late hour, and leave given; Ayes 75.
February 5.
Mr. T. M. Randolph reported a bill removing the limitation of the right of suffrage in the Mississippi Territory, and empowering the legislature thereof to increase the number of representatives in the general assembly by a given ratio to that of electors, which was referred to a committee of the whole house on Wednesday next.
Mr. Clark moved the following resolution which was agreed to.
Resolved, That the secretary of the navy be requested to inform this house of the nature and extent of the services rendered to the captive crew of the frigate Philadelphia by the Danish consul at Tripoli.
Mr. Crowninshield observed that the house had on the 3d inst. directed the secretary of the treasury to lay before them a statement of imports and exports from Great Britain to the U. States, for the two last years. It was probable the secretary would not be able to furnish a statement for the year 1805; but that he could make it for the years 1803 and 1804. Mr. C. said he had been anxious when this subject was before the house, to have received a statement for the year 1802. G. Britain seizes our ships loaded with colonial produce, on the idea that we did not enjoy the colonial trade during a period of peace. Whether this is a fact, will be decided by the statement he wished to obtain as the year 1802 was a period of peace. Mr. C. concluded, by moving a resolution, directing the secretary of the treasury to lay before the house a like statement of exports and imports for the year 1802, as was directed on the third inst. to be furnished for the last two years.
The house immediately considered this resolution and agreed to it.
Mr. J. Clay, after some prefatory remarks submitted the following resolution:
Resolved, That after the day of next, no trade or intercourse in any ship, or vessel owned in whole, or in part by any citizen or subject of any foreign government, shall be permitted between the United States, or their territory, and any port or place in the colonies
or dominions of any European power which trade or intercourse is not permanently permitted by the laws or regulations of such European power, to be carried on in ships or vessels of the United States.
Resolved, That after the day of aforesaid no goods wares or merchandise, shall be exported from the United States or their territories in any ship or vessel owned in whole or in part, by any citizen or subject of any foreign government to any port or place in the colonies or dominions of any European power the importation of which into such port or place in ships or vessels of the United States is not permanently permitted by the laws or regulations of such European power.
Resolved, That after the day of aforesaid, no goods, wares, or merchandise, shall be imported into the United States or their territories, in any ship or vessel owned in whole or in part, by any citizen or subject, of any foreign government, from any port or place, in the colonies or dominions of any European power, the exportation of which, from such port or place in ships or vessels of the United States, is not permanently permitted by the laws or regulations, of such European power.
Resolved, That after the day of aforesaid no goods, wares, or merchandise, shall be imported into the United States or their territories in any ship or vessel, owned in whole or in part by any citizen or subject of any foreign government excepting articles of the growth, produce or manufacture of the colonies or dominions of such foreign government unless such importation be expressly permitted by treaty between the United States and such foreign government, or unless during a war in which the United States may be a party.
The house immediately considered these resolutions, and referred them to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. Varnum observed that considerable light would be thrown on the extent to which colonial products were exported from the U. S. by a statement of the amount of exports for which drawbacks were allowed. He therefore, moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be directed to lay before this house a statement of the amount of the revenue derived to the U. S. from merchandise, the growth, product, or manufacture of any foreign country, which have heretofore been imported into the U. S. and exported from the same during the three last years.
This resolution was agreed to. The house again resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. John C. Smith in the chair—on the bill imposing a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the U. States.
Mr. Jackson offered a new section, the object of which was to prohibit the importation into the territories of the U. States, of all slaves brought either from abroad, or from any state, except in the latter case by citizens of the U. States removing to a territory to settle therein.
Mr. Jackson viewed this provision as necessary in consequence of a legal construction given to an act of the last session, which allowed the importation of slaves from abroad into Louisiana.
This motion was opposed by Messrs. Alston, Ely, Morrow, Spalding, and Sloan, who either viewed it as inexpedient in itself or as proper to be introduced into a distinct bill.
Mr. Jackson said, as it was the wish of his friends, he would withdraw the motion, and offer it on another occasion.
No farther amendments having been offered, the committee rose and reported their agreement to the bill.
The house immediately considered the report.
The amendment limiting the importation of the tax to the first day of January, 1808, was disagreed to; and the other amendments agreed to.
Mr. Jackson enquired what the effects would be of the forfeiture of the cargo in case slaves were smuggled into the United States. Would they be sold, or would they be kept in the service of the U. States? He did not wish to have anything to do with them.
Mr. John C. Smith said he had voted for the resolution, but the defects in the details of the bill were so glaring, that he hoped it would be referred to a select committee, that it might be so modified as to cure these defects; or, that in case it were found insusceptible of such modification, it might be rejected. Mr. J. C. Smith accordingly moved the recommitment of the bill to a select committee.
Mr. Jackson advocated this motion,
and remarked that the proviso of the bill that declared the duty should not be construed as giving a sanction to the importation of slaves, offered an additional reason for either rejecting or recommitting it. How could this language be used with propriety in a law, when the constitution, the highest authority, authorized the trade?
Mr. Quincy spoke to the like effect, and further enquired, whether it was the intention of gentlemen to apply the provisions of the bill to slaves navigating the ships of the United States.
Messrs. Hastings and Sloan defended the provisions of the bill as perfectly correct. They observed that slaves were considered as property, as merchandise, and could only therefore in the bill be treated as such.
The motion to recommit was lost—Ayes 39—Noes 91.
Mr. Crowninshield spoke against the bill, and moved its postponement to an indefinite day, which is a vote equivalent to a rejection of a bill.
Messrs. J. C. Smith, Taggart, and Rhea, of Ten. supported; and Messrs. Sloan, Elmer and Smilie opposed the motion; when the yeas and nays were called on it; and were Yeas 42—Noes 69.
Mr. Jackson moved to strike out the proviso of the bill, which motion was disagreed to; when the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading tomorrow—Ayes 69.
February 6.
The bill laying a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the United States was read a third time.
Mr. John C. Smith stated, in a more detailed way, the objections previously offered to the provisions of the bill, and moved its recommitment to a select committee, in which the house concurred without a division.
A confidential message in writing was received from the president of the United States about 12 o'clock; whereupon the galleries were cleared. They remained cleared until near 4 o'clock, when the house adjourned.
From the UNITED STATES' GAZETTE.
Armed Expedition from New-York. Whispers have for some time been circulating respecting a mysterious expedition fitting out at New York. Those whispers have increased to loud rumours and have excited a considerable degree of alarm among our citizens. It seems to be a fact that the Leander and several other vessels of force have actually sailed upon a secret and dangerous expedition that will involve the character of our country, and may, in the event, produce the most serious and fatal evils to our merchants.
Report says (and we believe it) that four ships have been fitted out with full complements of arms, ammunition, artificers, volunteers, &c. &c. that on board one of them Gen. Miranda, a Spanish subject of great talents and enterprise has embarked; that their place of rendezvous is Port au Prince, where they are to take on board mulattoes as soldiers and proceed to acts of hostility on the Spanish main.
Such are the outlines of the project as far as we can learn by letters from New-York and by the current conversation of the day.
It is farther asserted, that pikes and other warlike implements which have been shipped were supplied from the armories of the United States. This assertion ought to be received with caution; for without the most positive proof it is not to be supposed that our cautious and timid administration would act in a manner so directly hostile to a power with whom we are at peace; though there is no doubt that the president's message at the opening of the present session of congress, justified a belief that war with Spain was inevitable. This circumstance might properly enough induce adventurers to prepare for fitting out privateers, and might also justify government in conniving at such preparations; but can be no apology for permitting them actually to sail while the two nations remain at peace. As good citizens, therefore, we are bound to believe that the government were profoundly ignorant of the fitting out and sailing of this expedition: yet, how four or five large vessels could be completely armed, manned and cleared out without the knowledge of the government "demands a doubt." How will the affair appear in Spain, when it shall be known that American vessels have been armed and equipped in an American port, and manned with American citizens to commit open
hostilities upon a Spanish province? Though it is our duty to believe that government could never have had a suspicion of the object or even existence of this formidable armament (though for a considerable time known to every body else) will it not be difficult to convince the Spanish court of this singular fact? and will not the landing of this expedition, under all these suspicious circumstances, be a signal for the Spanish Governors to seize every American vessel in their ports, and every other species, of American property upon which they can lay their hands? These are serious questions which demand the serious and prompt attention of the government. We shall wait with no small degree of solicitude to know what will be done in this strange affair.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
Serious questions to Mr. Madison. Did Miranda go to Washington about the middle of December last?
Had he two long interviews with you?
Did he not present you a plan of an expedition against the province of Carracas?
Did he support the probability of success by the exhibition of various letters, either real or spurious, supposed to be written to him from his friends in that country?
Did he shew you a plan of the government he intended to establish in those provinces?
Did the president peruse the said plan of government, keep the manuscript 24 hours in his possession, and return it afterwards to Miranda approving it in general terms?
Did you observe to Miranda that congress did not appear inclined to go to war with Spain?
Did Miranda reply that if government was not so disposed he could carry the plan into execution himself, if they did not interfere about his preparations?
Did you answer him after a long pause, that government would shut their eyes, provided he would act with the necessary caution so as not to commit them?
Did Miranda return immediately to New-York to make his preparations and act in consequence.
Is it possible, is it credible that if Miranda had not met from you with a kind of indirect encouragement he would immediately on his return from Washington have proceeded to expenses that a little vigilance alone would have rendered useless?
Is it credible, that, without that indirect support, two officers of the federal government, at the port of New-York, could have engaged in such a nefarious proceeding?
Is it credible, that one of them would have permitted his eldest son to attend Gen. Miranda in his depredatory expedition, in the capacity of his aid?
Is it true, that the Leander, in which the young man embarked, had on board many muskets, rifles, pikes, field-pieces, howitzers, ammunition of all kinds, regimentals, two printing-presses, with 10 or 12 journeymen-printers?
Is it true, that this vessel remained in port a fortnight after clearing out at the custom-house, to embark recruits, and that the objects of her delay were generally known at New-York?
Is it to be supposed, that if the administration had even not had any previous information of the scheme, they could be ignorant of these transactions, known to every body else? Even admitting for supposition sake, that they had not a previous knowledge, would not their supposed ignorance be a glaring proof of the most criminal neglect?
Has not the honor and neutrality of our country been committed in the most scandalous manner by an hostile armament fitted out in our ports under the eyes of public officers, consisting of American ships under the American flag, with American officers, American crews, American volunteers, American arms, and many other American implements of war, with the object of attacking the colonies of a nation with whom we are at peace?
Are not all these circumstances together, sufficiently weighty to influence the Spanish commanders, if Miranda's attempt takes place, to lay an embargo on all American property within their jurisdiction?
Will not the innocent merchant of the United States be exposed to the most ruinous and disastrous consequences, if an event of this nature should take place?
And should they not consider either a criminal connivance or a not less culpable neglect on the part of those through whose authority such scandalous proceedings could have been checked and prevented as the true causes of their misfortunes?

These questions are made by every body, and we must confess that daily circumstances occur, which, in our opinion, render a satisfactory answer more and more difficult. We submit them to the public, as immediately interested in the clearing up of a mystery which appears to hang over this affair, and which seriously threatens the interest of our fellow citizens.
NEW-YORK, February 20.
The union Supper. —It appears that on Tuesday evening, a supper was given at Dyde's Hotel, by way of celebrating the "union of honest men." Lest the reader be at a loss to comprehend the subject, it is necessary to state that (extraordinary as it may seem) the Clintonians and the Burrists have at length agreed to entomb their animosities, and to renew the attachment, harmony and friendly intercourse of former days. And truly, this business furnishes a most singular and ludicrous paraphrase on Burr's toast. Until this moment, we believe the most learned political commentators have not been able to discover the true reading of the text.
The merchants of this city have laid before the president a very able petition, praying for the recall of gen. Armstrong, our minister at the court of St. Cloud. The merchants merit applause for this judicious and spirited measure. In the case of Nicklin and Griffith, the conduct of gen. Armstrong was every thing that it ought not to be. We hope and trust that he will be recalled. [ Am. Citizen. ]
PHILADELPHIA, February 20.
It was reported yesterday morning, on the authority of a private letter from New-York, that the French had taken St. Bartholomews.
BALTIMORE, February 20.
Among the entries at our custom-house within the last six days, were no less than 11,349 bags, 46 hogsheads and 32 barrels Coffee.
MARTINSBURG, March 7.
Mr. Coleman, editor of the Evening Post, attributes to the Spanish minister the queries to Mr. Madison and says, "It is morally certain that these queries originate with no less a personage than the Spanish Ambassador, and considering that he could only be justified on the supposition of criminating answers, we present them to our readers as the most interesting article inserted in the paper during the current year."
Letters from Washington mention that the French minister has demanded of our government that they immediately dispatch two frigates after the Leander, to bring her back to prevent her from committing hostilities against Spain; otherwise that he shall withdraw from the United States. [ Phil. pap. ]
Mr. Relf's correspondent at Washington under date of February 11th says "Thou hast heard of one Duncan M c Farland, a member of Congress from N. Carolina, the same that has been charged with murder, indicted for hog stealing, for perjury, &c. He this day took his seat in the house. Previous to which the door-keeper went to the northern part of the house to find a vacant seat; no one wished to sit near him. In one of the double rows of seats there was a vacancy; but those who were near it very closely persuaded Winns to come and claim it, and thus shut out the unwelcome visitor. There was not a little laughing; not a little contrivance—Duncan appeared; took the oath; and went to the seat usually occupied by Lambert of N. Jersey, next to my worthy friend Sloan, where he continued the whole day—Some have said that he hath broken from goal, and that there is a reward for him: but it is not so: he hath come out by bail. He saith that the lawyers and judges are opposed to him—I suspect that his dislike to judges and lawyers occasioned that natural sympathy for him which thy neighbour Duane some time ago so strongly expressed."
Worthy of Remark. —Since the passing of the law in this state, allowing the truth to be given in evidence, in libel suits, we have not heard of the indictment of a single federal editor; but a number of democrats have been indicted.—What does this prove? [ Balance. ]
The Season. —The weather, generally, has been so mild this winter, that vege-
tation is very forward. The fruit trees are in full bloom and the rose bushes, have very large buds upon them. From the variety of flower roots, which are in bloom, our gardens wear the face of May rather than of February.

American Coins. —Number of coins made at the mint of the United States, since its establishment on the 1st of March 1793, to the 31st of Dec. 1805—Eagles, 138,824; Half Eagles, 239,489; Quarter Eagles, 11,315; Dollars, 1,483,032; Half Dollars, 787,197; Quarter Dollars, 134,278; Dimes, 304,406; Half Dimes, 265,543; Cents, 16,659,947; Half Cents, 2,570,801.—Number of coins 22,594,832—amount, 4,747,343 dollars, 72 1-2 cents.
The committee of finance, appointed by the house of delegates of this state, have submitted their report & estimates; by which it appears that the expenses of the government, from the 1st of October, 1805, to the 30th September, 1806, will amount to 331,716 dollars; and that the revenue of the commonwealth to meet these expenses, will amount to 290,131 dollars 8 cents—the expenditures exceeding the resources by the sum of 41,584 dollars and 92 cents!—The committee in their report, recommend that the additional two and half per cent. allowed sheriffs for collecting taxes on the lots in town, should no longer be allowed; that serjeants of corporations should be compelled to give security for the collection and payment of taxes, and in case of failure be liable to the same process with sheriffs in similar cases.—The committee conclude with suggesting to the house the necessity of preparing some resources to meet the excess of expenditures—either by an increase of taxes generally, or a tax on some particular objects such as toll-bridges, mills, wharves and race-fields.
From the United States' Gazette.
As the friends of the administration have not thought proper to attempt any kind of vindication of the conduct of government respecting the Leander; and as no information is given to the merchants to relieve their fears for the safety of their property in Spanish ports, would it not be a good precautionary measure for our mercantile citizens generally to address the president on the subject to know whether any effectual measures have been taken to prevent the mischief which must inevitably ensue from any aggression committed by the Leander. It is not doubted that the Spaniards are already apprized of the expedition, and that upon the first attack, every American vessel and every species of American property will be seized and must, in all probability, remain locked up till orders for liberating them can be procured from the government of Spain. An event of this kind would be very seriously felt by every description of people in this country; and, unless some effectual means are immediately adopted to prevent it, it may come upon us as instantaneously as a shock of electricity. Whether government were apprized of the nature and object of the expedition from the commencement is a question which we will not take upon us to decide, but that they are now fully apprized of it is certain, and the country have a right to know whether any and what steps are taken to ward off the fatal consequences.
From the New-York Herald of Feb. 26.
Admiral Gantheume has arrived at the City of St. Domingo, with 10 sail of the line and 10 frigates, from France, and has landed there 1500 troops.
We understand some of the Insurance companies have come to a determination not to insure Spanish risks, without a reservation against seizure in port.

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

TAKE NOTICE.
THAT on the 6th day of April next, I expect to take my brother Frederick Nadenbousch into copartnership with me in the mercantile line; my business after that period will be carried on under the firm of Frederick Nadenbousch, & Co. All those who are in any wise indebted to me, either by bond, note, or book account, are requested to make arrangements for having their accounts settled by the above mentioned time, as it will be extremely inconvenient to me to give any longer indulgence, particularly to such as have let their accounts remain unsettled for an unreasonable length of time; to such no longer indulgence can or will be given. It is with much reluctance I do make such a request, but the closing of my business requires it. I beg leave to return my sincere thanks to all those who have in any wise conducted to support me in the mercantile business for nearly seven years past; and I still hope for a continuance of their favours, for I am persuaded every exertion will be made to give general satisfaction—to use the language of a worthy sentiment, "where commerce can flourish on just and equitable principles, it is there I wish to share the public patronage." With sentiments of esteem I take the liberty of subscribing myself the public's most obedient and humble servant, PHILIP NADENBOUSCH. Martinsburg, March 7, 1806.
DISSOLUTION.
THIS day the partnership of Morrow & Brown dissolved by mutual consent; and all persons indebted to the said concern are requested to come forward and pay their respective accounts, or give their obligation for the same, to John Morrow (or in his absence to Robert Worthington) who is fully authorised to settle the business of said concern. JOHN MORROW, JAMES BROWN. Shepherd's Town, March 1, 1806.
THE business in future will be conducted under the firm of ROBERT WORTHINGTON, & CO. Who respectfully inform their friends (and particularly the former customers of Morrow & Brown) that they have now on hand a pretty general assortment of Dry Goods and Groceries, which they will dispose of on the most reasonable terms for Cash or Country Produce. They flatter themselves from an endeavour to keep a constant supply of almost every article in their line, and a strict attention to business, to merit a share of the public patronage. March 1, 1806.

From the TASK—A POEM By WILLIAM COWPER.
I WOULD not enter on my list of friends, (Though grac'd with polish'd manners, and fine sense, Yet wanting sensibility) the man Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm. An inadvertent step may crush the snail, That crawls at evening, in the public path, But he that has humanity, forewarn'd, Will tread aside, and let the reptile live. The creeping vermin, loathsome to the sight, And charg'd, perhaps, with venom, that intrudes A visitor unwelcome, into scenes Sacred to neatness and repose, th' alcove, The chamber, or refectory, may die. A necessary act incurs no blame, Not so, when held within their proper bounds, And guiltless of offence, they range the air. Or take the pastime in the spacious field. There they are privileged. And he that hunts Or harms them there, is guilty of a wrong, Disturbs th' economy of nature's realm, Who, when she form'd, design'd them an abode. The sum is this: if man's convenience, health, Or safety interfere, his rights and claims Are paramount, and must extinguish theirs. Else they are all—the meanest things that are, As free to live, and to enjoy that life, As God was free to form them at the first, Who in his sovereign wisdom made them all.
Doctor Pennington,
HAVING practised in Old England, for upwards of 35 years, as DOCTOR, SURGEON, and ACCOUCHEUR, 10 years of which he spent in the city of London, where he regularly attended the different hospitals and lectures of the first men of the age, hereby informs the inhabitants of Shepherd's-Town and its vicinity, that he is ready to attend patients in the regu- lar line of his profession, when called upon.
N. B. CANCERS, and the diseases incident to the female sex in particu- lar, have employed a great portion of his studies for the last 7 years. His present residence is opposite capt. Haynes in Shepherd's-Town.

WILL be offered for sale at major C. Saunders's tavern, in Charles- Town, ten or twelve COLTS, on seven months credit, at March court next. THOMAS FLAGG. February 21, 1806.
Globe Tavern.
THIS building, situate in the town of Martinsburg, is to be let—and possession can be had at a short notice. From a superior size, it affords so many conveniences, as to make it, perhaps, better suited to the business of a public- house than any other in this part of the country. The circumstance of its being pretty generally known, may possibly, preclude the necessity of entering into a more particular description. I am also disposed to rent the property immediate- ly on the opposite side of the street ad- joining the court-house. These im- provements are suited to the reception of a store and a family; the house con- tains six comfortable rooms; the garden —one of the cellars, and some of the back-buildings are large, and all of a use- ful kind. This situation opens directly into the court-house yard, and is one of the most public spots in town.
EPHRAIM GAITHER. Martinsburg, January 24, 1806. P. S. The building in King's Street, called Duncan's Stone House is also to let.

Fresh Fall and Winter GOODS.
THE subscriber, having selected the whole of his Fall and Winter As- sortment from the present importations, begs leave to offer and recommend them at the most reduced cash prices to his customers; If such selections, at reduced prices, are sufficient recommendations, he flatters himself he may be entitled to a share of public patronage.

I WILL give any person an uncom- mon great bargain in a small Tract of LAND, on the waters of great Cape- Capean, near the mouth, containing 95 acres, which is all clothed with excellent Timber of various kinds, two Springs which afford water enough to turn a mill rise on the premises; there may be at least 15 or 20 acres of excellent Meadow made with little labour, which may be all watered. It would be an excellent stand for a distiller of spirits, as there are two grist mills within a mile, and four saw mills. One young horse will be taken in part pay. For further information apply to the subscriber living in Shep- herd's-Town.

Part of the real estate of said M c Keirnan in the State of Maryland, viz.

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

Its situation makes it more valuable than perhaps many stands in the county, be- ing central between Martinsburg and Bath; it abounds with fine Springs, a good Orchard of choice Fruit; the House is large and well calculated for the reception of travellers, a Stable, and an out house for the family separate from the tavern.
Also, 400 acres of Land, within 2 miles of the town of Bath, 20 of which are cleared and under good fence; this Land is of good quality; on the Land is a House and Stable, with good Water and some Meadow.

Also, a Lot on which is erected a large Stable, sufficient to contain 40 horses, near the Coffee House, and a small Dwelling House.
Also, a Lot adjoining the Coffee House, on which is erected a two-story log House weatherboarded and painted, with Store Room, Kitchen and Stable.
It is unnecessary to be more particu- lar, as it is presumed any person wish- ing to purchase, will first view the pre- mises. By paying a reasonable propor- tion of the purchase money down, the ba- lance will be taken in easy payments. For further particulars inquire of Lau- rence M c Keirnan, who resides on the first described place in Maryland, to Timothy Monahan in Hagers-town, Ig- natius O'Ferrall, on Mill-Creek, Berke- ley County, Virginia, or Andrew Goulding, on Potomak river, 5 miles a- bove Bath.
