[WHOLE No. 357.]
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 $2.35—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.
NOTICE is hereby given that an Election will be held at the Court House in Martinsburg, on the first Monday after the third Tuesday in April next (which will be the 21st day of that month) for the purpose of choosing two fit characters, to represent the County of Berkeley in the next General Assembly of this Commonwealth. All persons entitled to vote are desired to attend.

PHILADELPHIA, March 18.
Expedition of the Leander. —Several weeks have elapsed since we thought it our duty to call the attention of the country to the unprecedented and dangerous expedition of several armed ships fitted out from the port of New-York. The Leander was from the first particularly named as undoubtedly engaged in an enterprise which would hazard the neutral character of the country, and might, in all probability, occasion a detention of American property in Spanish ports, which would prove extremely detrimental, and in many instances absolutely ruinous to the fair and honest traders of the United States. It was suggested that other ships beside the Leander, were engaged in the same enterprise; but as the fact was not so positively ascertained, it was not thought proper to mention other names. It is now ascertained on good authority that the ships Emperor and Indostan, both American, have sailed from Hispaniola to join the Leander. If this should prove to be correct, as we have little doubt it will, and the object is a descent upon the possessions of Spain in South America, we again repeat that the consequences will be severely felt in every part of the United States. It cannot be otherwise than well known to the Spanish government that the ships, the arms, the military stores, the men, are all American; that the equipment took place in one of the principal American ports; that the expedition sailed under American clearances; and after its destination was made known to the government, no steps were taken to frustrate the design, although the brig Hornet was then in port and might have been immediately dispatched to give the alarm, and convey orders to those concerned, not to commit hostilities against the allies of the United States. Under all these circumstances, however innocent our administration may have been, it is much to be feared that foreign courts will not easily be convinced of their innocence in time to prevent the consequences; especially when it is recollected that one of the officers of the government in New-York

(Col. Smith) was deeply engaged in the affair; that his son is on board the Lancaster ; and that by his order, as is asserted, volunteers were enlisted for the United States service .—The impression which these facts are calculated to make will be strengthened by the consideration that a month was suffered to elapse after government were certainly informed of the affair before instructions were issued to the district Judge to make inquiry and take depositions: and if we may judge from the facts which have come to light, the examination after being commenced has been prosecuted, like the decisions of a vice admiralty court, under direct orders from the cabinet. Otherwise how could Mr. Ogden publish under his own signature that "he was tender upon those points" on which his testimony would implicate the government, and that the judge, as though aware of the circumstance, did not press these points;—the only points, let it be remarked, which are extensively interesting to the community? If the judge knew or believed government to be innocent he ought to have ordered Mr. Ogden to undergo a second examination and to do away, under oath, the insinuations which he so directly and so publicly makes that he has it in his power to criminate the government.
To conclude the whole matter, we still admonish those concerned to beware of the consequences; for if the design is carried into effect, they will certainly be of a serious nature.
GEN. MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
As the object of this mysterious affair, becomes every day more and more interesting we shall continue to extract from our papers, such observations as may have a tendency to throw any light upon the subject.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
That Miranda, has embarked at New York—that he has actually gone from thence, with the fixed design to emancipate his country from the yoke of Spain, is a notorious fact.
Standing alone, this might be deemed a project of a mere adventure; but when we read the following short history of this man, the mind must expand with wonder, that it has been delayed so long.
So long since as 1767, there were five delegates from five provinces of S. America, at Madrid, sent to complain of intolerable grievances; they were denied redress through haughtiness and pride, just as our agents were, before our disputes had ended by war. One of these delegates, was instructed to make certain propositions to G. Britain. Lord Chatham (who had formed a whole administration, under a most solemn promise from the king, that he should have his unbounded confidence, during life) embraced those propositions, gave the agent £1000 yearly, till the design should be carried into effect; he was paid this pension no longer than the lifetime of that administration, and the agent was, along with the other four sacrificed to the resentment of Spain.
In 1783, Miranda, who was born in Caracas, a city about 12 miles south of Laguira, made his appearance in this country; he is well known by many of our most eminent citizens; possesses a strong mind; and since his travels thro' all Europe, he may be supposed equal to any man now living, as to intelligence and capacity, for the most important affairs.
His object has been nothing short, and nothing else, than to deliver his country from a most intolerable, and humiliating bondage. When England fitted out a large fleet to support their claims at Nootka Sound, Miranda was engaged to do more than aid them in those claims, but the expedition was abandoned; the cause may be conjectured, but time only will develop the fact.
Disappointed, till the revolution had created war between France and Spain, he went to Paris; became a general in their armies.
That fatal defeat of the left wing under Dumourier, which he commanded, caused suspicions, that having come over from England, they might have been betrayed. But all the Americans in Paris (among whom Thomas Paine and Joel Barlow) gave it as their decided opinion, that his principles were strictly pure, honorable and truly republican; he proved also, that he protested against the mode of attack the night before the action, and that he refused Dumourier's pressing solicitations to emigrate along with him. He would have embarked with an army from France, for the di-
rectory had it in view, but no opportunity offered till peace was concluded. Intent on the same object, he once more offered his service to England; they were once more accepted, and he was once more deceived. When just upon embarking, he found, contrary to every previous and solemn compact, that Mr. Pitt meant conquest, and not the emancipation of his country. He renounced all participation in the expedition, rent his commission in pieces, reproached him with perfidy, duplicity, and lies, and embarked for America.
It is unnecessary to say more, than the doors will be opened in three provinces, now organized; they know our example and will follow it; no conditions remain with the government of England; all nations will be invited to their ports, none so much desired as our own; offers of fraternity and friendship will, if we are willing, unite this whole continent like the solar system, by one common attraction; every part holding its due proportion in its own orbit, giving beauty and harmony to the whole.
The above sketch is to satisfy public curiosity; it is enough for the moment: as to the means, the place of destination or ports to be first opened, it would be improper to say any thing further; the plan is well digested; miracles do not come every day, and unless a miracle does come, Miranda must succeed.
The Editor of the Richmond Enquirer says, that the author of the above "is an acquaintance of Miranda; conversant with his plans, and convinced of their reality;" which would appear to be the case, by the following communication from the same writer published in the Enquirer a few days afterwards.
To the Editor.
SIR,—I am not in the habit of making communications, either to the public or in private company, which are not supported on facts. The short narrative, as to Miranda's past conduct, I know to be perfectly true. I ought to have added, that he was acquitted by a court martial with honor.—Mr. Barlow, who now resides in Washington, can bear testimony of it. I have been a witness to some very important things, both in France and England, in which he shewed talents, integrity and perseverance.
I am sorry to see him represented as an adventurer in any papers of our country. The time however is approaching, when his character will be better known.
Your strictures, therefore, may rest uncontradicted; but that you may credit what I have advanced on this subject, I have left a letter with Mr. Hylton, the clerk of the council, addressed to you, and to be delivered when it can do no injury to the cause in question; in which you will find the outlines of the design; the place of rendezvous, &c. &c. You must not blame my caution in keeping the port or place of destination from the public—for the minister of Spain would gladly know it, and by express, might possibly prevent the design. Yours, &c.
On the foregoing communication it is unnecessary to make a single comment. It will be sufficient for us to state a single FACT.
It is then a FACT that a subscription paper is now in secret circulation among some of the inhabitants of this city, for the purpose of encouraging a trading voyage to South America. The capital to be subscribed for, is principally to be collected from the purses of the merchants; the purposes for which it is to be subscribed are on the face of the paper. The whole capital is to be divided into 30 shares, each subscriber to contribute 1000 dollars. Of course the whole capital will amount to thirty thousand dollars. If a subscriber should find it inconvenient to advance his share in specie, he may throw in his goods to that amount. The whole of this fund, the entire management of it, the port of destination, and every arrangement connected with the voyage, is to be under the direction of a certain gentleman in this city. It is stated on the face of the subscription paper, that this project is no more than a legal trade to South America , the particular port of destination not being mentioned; and it is added, by way of encouragement, that the subscribers may expect to receive not less than 400 per cent. profit from the adventure.
Such is the general outline of the project itself; it is incumbent on us to subjoin a few reports, which are ultimately connected with it. We have no inclination to deceive the reader in a single iota; and it is on this account we call them reports. They are such reports, however, as are entitled to respect, on account of the respectable authority from which they are derived. It is then reported, that by way of additional incitement to
an immediate co-operation in the design, it has been represented that similar adventures are now rapidly progressing in some of the richest northern towns, and that the certain profit of the speculation will quickly tempt other merchants to embark their capital in the adventure. It is reported, that three or four of our merchants have already consented to subscribe for shares. It is reported, that one of the friends of Mr. Jefferson has been ridiculously and jesuitically requested to inform him of the plan and advise him to take a share under a fictitious name .
LONDON, January 25.
It is with unfeigned concern we state that the right honourable WILLIAM PITTS breathed his last at half past four o'clock on Thursday morning, at his house at Putney. His loss, at this particular period, will be severely felt by the nation, and, we believe, is sincerely lamented by all parties. His most determined political opponents, at all times, bore testimony to his distinguished talents, and unblemished integrity; and were no less willing to admit that the errors of his long administration were more to be ascribed to the unprecedented difficulties of the times he had to encounter, and which he seemed determined to surmount, without having recourse to the necessary aid of contemporary talents than to his want of foresight in anticipating the magnitude of the undertaking, or readiness of comprehension in planning means to meet those difficulties; but the task of execution, which might have been rendered more easy by an union of energies, was too much for those of an individual, and he sunk under it, the paralysed victim of too much confidence in his own strength.
The illness of Mr. Pitt originated in excessive anxiety, and unwearied attention to business.—His whole nervous system was so deranged, that, for weeks together, he was unable to sleep, and this privation of rest led to a general breaking up of his constitution. An hereditary gout completed the whole, producing, according to its ordinary effect on a debilitated system, water in the chest, and such a weakness of stomach, that he could neither admit nor retain any sustenance.
Previous to his dissolution, Mr. Pitt had not taken the slightest sustenance for eight and forty hours.
January 27.
We have received letters from Gibraltar which have brought us some interesting details.—Lord Collingwood, it appears, was in sight of a large French fleet on the 15th of last month. We may, therefore, soon expect important intelligence from his lordship.
ADMIRAL CALDER.
The trial of Vice Admiral Sir Robert Calder, was held on board the Prince of Wales , at Portsmouth, on the 22d December. The trial lasted four days. The following is the sentence of the court.
"In consequence of the Letter of Admiral Sir Robert Calder to the Lords of the Admiralty, requesting an investigation of his conduct on the 23d and 24th of July last, after the action with the combined squadron of France and Spain, and while in sight of the enemy: and in consequence of the instructions, thereupon directed to admiral Montague, he held a court martial, for the purpose of enquiring into the conduct of the said Sir R. Calder, on the said days, and to try him for not having done his utmost to take or destroy every ship of the enemy which it was his duty to engage, the court has entered into the said enquiry; and after duly considering the conduct of the said admiral Sir Robert Calder, and hearing and deliberating fully upon all the evidence laid before us respecting the same on the days aforesaid, we are of opinion, that the charges against the conduct of the said admiral Sir Robert Calder, on the above days, in presence of the enemy, in not having done his utmost to take and destroy every ship of the enemy, which it was his duty to engage, ARE FULLY PROVEN."
The court are of opinion, that such conduct on the part of the said admiral Sir Robert Calder was not the result of fear or cowardice, but of error in judgment, for which he deserves to be severely reprimanded, and he is hereby severely reprimanded accordingly."
WASHINGTON CITY, March 19.
The House of Representatives, the immediate organ of the people, have, after mature deliberation, taken ground in vindication of our violated rights, on
which we congratulate the nation. On Monday the question was put on the following proposition submitted by Mr. Nicholson, and carried by a vast majority.
RESOLVED, That from and after the day of next, the following articles, being of the growth, produce, or manufacture of G. Britain or Ireland, or of any of the colonies or dependencies of G. Britain, ought to be prohibited by law from being imported into the U. S. or into the territories thereof, viz.
All articles of which leather is the material of chief value;
All articles of which tin or brass is the material of chief value; tin in sheets excepted;
All articles of which hemp or flax is the material of chief value;
All articles of which silk is the material of chief value;
Woolen cloths whose invoice prices shall exceed —;
Woolen hosiery of all kinds;
Window glass, and all other manufactures of glass;
Silver and plated wares;
Paper of every description;
Nails and Spikes;
Hats;
Clothing ready made;
Millinery of all kinds;
Playing cards;
Beer, ale and porter; and
Pictures and prints.
CONGRESS.—On Wednesday, Mr. Gregg, called up his Non-Importation resolution. The house went into committee of the whole, Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair. Mr. Gregg commenced with a speech well committed to memory, in favour of the Resolution. Mr. J. Clay opposed it. Mr. Crowninshield advocated. Mr. Randolph spoke about three hours against the resolution. No man can suspect us of partiality to this gentleman; but truth, bids us say, that Mr. Randolph has made the most elegant speech ever delivered in that house. In the originality, pertinacity and brilliancy of his figures, no man could excel him—his arguments were cogent, and mingled with a vein of humour and biting sarcasm towards his opponents—such as seldom is witnessed in that house. His whole speech was in total opposition to every thing democratical. He arraigned the conduct of the President, for not conforming to the Constitution, in recommendation of measures; for his cowardice in shrinking from responsibility, by telling his understrappers in Congress, to urge measures he dared not openly recommend; for not having a constitutional cabinet; for deception, with respect to Spain, and our territories; for giving private messages, that never appear on the Journals of the House; for buying territory twice of Spain, the second time under pretence of purchasing other than disputed territory; for supporting the Tunisian Ambassador, in his besianity, &c. &c. Mr. Madison and his book, he treated with the greatest contempt. His great patience had led him as far as the 11th page but there was so much sophistry, the argument was so much wittily drawn, that he could neither see, nor feel the thread. He declared there was no cabinet, such as the constitution and the people expected. He spoke largely of the British Navy, and the British Government as fighting for the liberties of EUROPE, and of AMERICA. Such men as Gregg, Crowninshield, Varnum, Bidwell, Sloan, &c. he treated with the utmost severity; as children who had not finished the Horn-Book of politics .
On Thursday Mr. Randolph again spoke upwards of two hours against the resolution.
Yesterday the resolution was again debated. Mr. Early the principal opposer. [Washington Federalist.]
MARTINSBURG, March 28.
Departed this life on Tuesday the 11th inst. in the 43d year of her age, Mrs. ELEANOR BRISCOE, consort of John Briscoe, esq. of Jefferson county, after a painful and lingering illness which she bore with Christian resignation and uncommon fortitude, leaving behind her an almost inconsolable husband with eight children, whose only consolation is, that her virtue could not fail to meet its reward in the far more happy regions to which her departing spirit fled.
The following day her remains were interred in the family burying ground, attended by a numerous concourse of weeping friends and relatives—and a funeral sermon suited to the solemn occasion delivered by the rev. Mr. Collins.

News this week
We have great satisfaction in communicating to the public the following pleasing information, inasmuch as it completely purges the government of all criminal connivance at, or participation in, the late mysterious expedition under Miranda:—A letter is received in town from General Dearborn, Secretary at War, in which he peremptorily declares that neither the administration, nor any of the heads of department individually, have any knowledge of the destination of the Leander; that on this subject neither Mr. Jefferson nor Mr. Madison ever had any conferences and communications with Gen. Miranda; that it was not until after she had sailed, that they were advised of her being destined on a hostile voyage; and that on receiving this advice, suits were immediately instituted against the parties concerned, and that too, before any representations were made to them by any foreign minister or agent. [Phila. Gaz.]
A very curious circumstance is mentioned in the Ohio Herald, the editor of which says he had his information from an unquestionable source. It is nothing less, than that a number of runaway negroes have collected together in the limits of the Sandusky nation of Indians, and there built a town.
PHENOMENON!
Our city contains at this time, probably the greatest phenomenon in nature. In an obscure room, situated in Broadway, in the care of persons totally ignorant of its consequence to naturalists, is a living animal completely human from the neck downwards, and the head of a greyhound dog, evidently possessing human sensation. The writer of this, apprehensive the obscurity may operate to involve it in the contempt entertained for vulgar shows, and it thereby escape the notice of the scientific naturalist, announces its existence in hopes of partaking in the satisfaction that might result from an intelligent examination of the most extraordinary production. [N. York pap.]
A part of the Brest Fleet are said in the London papers to be certainly at sea. The death of Mr. PITT, at a moment like the present, will have a very serious influence upon the conduct of the British cabinet; but from the papers which we have perused, they appear determined to oppose the Corsican maker and unmaker of kings, without any other ally than their own honor, and without any other assistance than the courage of their forces. Standing alone amidst the dread combat, the champion of the civilized world, like the rocks which surround her coast, against which the tempest loudly roars, but roars in vain. Charleston paper.
WE are authorised to say, that Captains JACOB WEVER and JAMES RUSSELL, in pursuance of a recent nomination by the republican committee of the county of Berkeley, will be candidates at the ensuing election for a seat in the state legislature. March 28, 1806.
At a meeting of a number of the republicans of the county of Jefferson, at Capt. George Hite's, Charles-Town, to consider proper persons to represent said county in the next General Assembly, George North, Esq. was appointed chairman, and John Saunders, secretary—Whereupon it was proposed and unanimously agreed, that DANIEL MORGAN and JAMES HITE shall be the candidates to represent the said county, and that the foregoing proceedings be published in the Charles-Town and Martinsburg papers. Signed in behalf of the meeting, GEO. NORTH, Chairman. JOHN SAUNDERS, Secretary.
Cheap Nice Goods.
THE subscribers beg leave to inform their friends and the public generally, that they have just received, and are now opening, a very handsome assortment of GOODS , suitable for the present and approaching season, which, in addition to the stock received from the late firm of Morrow & Brown, makes their assortment complete, which they are determined to sell uncommonly low for cash, or approved of country produce. ROBERT WORTHINGTON, & Co. Shepherd's-Town, March 28, 1806.
THE CLERGYMAN recently appointed to the several episcopal congregations in Berkeley County, respectfully announces his arrival through the medium of the "Intelligencer;" and that, on Tuesday the 8th of April next, he proposes to open a Classical Seminary at his residence in John street, where the terms and tuition will be communicated to those who contemplate an interest in patronising the institution.
As he is a stranger, it cannot be deemed inapposite here to mention, that he received his education at a public school of celebrity in London, and afterwards became a regular ordained episcopal clergyman by the bishop thereof; and is recognised as such, by the General Convention of the protestant episcopal church of the United States, as his documents evince:—That, in consequence of his late appointment in Berkeley, he has, agreeably to order, applied for, and received from the honorable Court a licence to exercise fully his clerical functions, and as he now considers himself a duly qualified citizen of the commonwealth of Virginia, he feels sincerely disposed, from the impulse of duty and interest, to render his services, in his relative situation, both useful and satisfactory. Martinsburg, March 28, 1806.
Fresh Goods.
THE subscriber has just received from the city of Philadelphia, a very general assortment of SPRING & SUMMER GOODS . Which, having been selected with care, and purchased for cash at reduced prices, he can recommend to all who wish to buy Goods on reasonable terms. He has also received a large supply of very handsomely drawn Bar-Iron , Of which he always intends to keep a general assortment.

FIVE DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber on Sunday last, a Negro Man named Jim, alias Jim Jackson, but better known in this county and Jefferson by the name of Fifer Jim; he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, about 40 years old, has a round flat face, of a very dark colour, and is a stout well made fellow; he was lately confined in the Martinsburg jail from which I relieved him. He has for several years past blowed the fife for the militia companies about Martinsburg and other places, on which he performs very well, & plays the fiddle also. He had on an old surcoat coat made of gray coating, overalls and waistcoat of the same cloth, a pair of about half worn shoes, split down the vamp owing to their being too small, and stockings, and probably other clothing with him. I will give the above reward to any person who will return said negro to me, or confine him in Berkeley or Jefferson County jail so that I get him again. ROBERT CHRISTY. Berkeley County, March 28, 1806.
YOUNG CLIFTON,
WILL stand this season to cover mares at Mrs. Knote's tavern in Sharpsburg, on Monday and Tuesday in each week, and the four last days in each week at my stable in Shepherd's-Town, at the moderate price of six dollars, payable on the first of September next, but five dollars will be taken if paid within the season; four dollars cash for the single leap as soon as the mare is covered; and ten dollars for insuring the mare with foal, which is to be paid as soon as the mare is proved to be with colt. Young Clifton is full fifteen hands and one inch high, five years old this spring and of a brown colour; he was got by the noted horse Clifton, which was imported by governor Thornton of Maryland, his dam was got by Belmont, and she came out of a mare that was half of the dray breed and half blooded. Young Clifton has got very handsome colts in the neighbourhood of Boon's-borough, Maryland; I think it therefore unnecessary to mention any thing further respecting this horse, as I expect every person will wish to see him before they send their mares; and there is not the least doubt, but that his figure will be a sufficient recommendation to every impartial judge. The season to commence on the 1st day of April next, and to end the 1st day of July. I will not be answerable for any accidents whatever that may happen. JACOB LONG. March 28, 1806.
YOUNG MATCHLESS,
WILL stand this season at my plantation near Martinsburg, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in each week, and cover mares at four dollars the season, two dollars the single leap, and eight dollars to insure a foal; the money for the season to be paid the first of October, for the single leap when the mare is covered, and for insurance when the mare proves with foal. Young Matchless was got by Col. Burwell's Matchless, and Matchless by his celebrated horse Emperor; and his dam by Capt. Jacob Vandoren's Old Snap. Young Matchless is an elegant dapple gray, sixteen and a half hands high, five years old this spring, and is well calculated for either saddle or draft. ABRAHAM GORRELL. March 28, 1806.
The beautiful and well-bred Horse, PANTALOON,
WILL stand at the stable of Wm. Tabb in Martinsburg, on Monday and Tuesday, and the balance of the week at the stable of the subscriber, in Jefferson County, near Walpert's tavern, and cover mares at the moderate price of four dollars the season, two dollars cash the single leap, and seven dollars for insuring a foal; the money to be paid for insuring when the mare is known to be with foal, and the money for the season to be paid the first of September next. Pantaloon is a handsome brown, full sixteen hands high, and six years old this spring; his dam was got by the noted horse Old Snap, his grand dam by the old imported horse Valiant, and his sire was the noted Robinhood, out of a Matchless mare. It is thought unnecessary to give a long history of his pedigree, as his figure, activity and movement will recommend him to the eye of every impartial judge. WILLIAM KEARNEY, jun. March 28, 1806. N. B. Strict attention will be paid, but no responsibility for accidents.
COUNSELLOR,
WILL stand this season the two first days in each week at Casper Snaveley's tavern, three miles from Sharpsburg, Maryland, on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Knote's tavern in Sharpsburg, and on Fridays and Saturdays at Mrs. Thornburg's tavern in Shepherd's-Town, and cover mares at four dollars the season, if paid during the season, if not five dollars, three dollars the single leap, and seven dollars to insure a foal; the money for the single leap to be paid when the mare is put to the horse, and for insurance when the mare proves with foal; but if the mare is parted with the money for insurance to be forfeited. Counsellor was got by Vandoren's Old Snap, and his dam by Old Granby. He is a handsome bright bay, with a star and snip, sixteen and a half hands high, rising eight years old, and is extremely well calculated for either saddle or draft. Any further description would be unnecessary, as his figure and carriage are unexceptionable. Great attention will be paid to mares, but I will not be accountable for any accidents that may happen. The season will begin the 1st of April and end the last of June. SAMUEL VEAL. March 28, 1806.
The celebrated running Horse, FLORIZEL,
WILL stand the present season at the stable of John M'Cleary in Martinsburg, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the balance of the week at Mrs. Eckhart's stable in Shepherd's-Town, Jefferson County, and cover mares at the low rate of six dollars, if paid within the season, (which has commenced and will end the first day of July) or eight dollars by the first of September, three dollars cash the single leap, or ten dollars to insure with foal, the parting with the mare forfeits the insurance. Florizel is a handsome gray, upwards of fifteen and a half hands high, and was bred by John Tayloe, Esq. of Mount-Airy. Florizel was got by Gray Diomed; he came out of the same mare that Cupbearer did; his dam by Harris's Eclipse (son of old Farnought, out of a Shakespeare mare imported by Col. Baylor) his grand dam by Celer, his great grand dam by the imported horse Silver Eye, out of a Jolly Roger mare. Celer was got by the imported horse Janus, his dam by the imported horse Aristotle; his grand dam by the imported horse Whittington; his g. grand dam by Jolly Roger; his g. g. grand dam by the imported horse Beau out of an imported mare of Francis Epse, Esq. Mark Anthony (the fleetest horse of his day any distance) was by Partner; Partner by Old Traveller out of the imported mare Selim. Aristotle and Whittington were both got by the Culler Arabian. Janus was got by Janus (son of the Godolphin Arabian out of the famous little Hardy mare) his dam by Old Fox; grand dam by the Bald Galloway. Jolly Roger is the 'Roger of the Vale' of the Stud Book. Great attention will be paid to mares put to Florizel, but I will not be accountable for accidents. THOMAS LANE. March 28, 1806.

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 NADEBOUSCH, 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.
Fresh Goods.

Among his Groceries he has received a large quantity of COFFEE, of the first quality, which he can venture to say is better than any sold in Martinsburg for a number of years. THOMAS C. SMITH. Martinsburg, October 18, 1805.
VALUABLE LAND FOR SALE.

TANNERS TAKE NOTICE.
THERE is a most elegant TANNERY for sale, in Shepherd's-Town, Virginia, with a never failing stream of water running through it, and a wheel that raises the water with ease for the use of the Yard. There are four Lots in the enclosure, and the improvements are: one bark and mill house 120 feet long; one brick building 48 feet long, wherein are, a currying shop, a room for unfinished leather, and a smoke house; one other brick building for storing and selling out finished leather; a beam house, stuffing shop, and garner for ground bark; with 30 vats of different sizes, and room for 100 more. There is also in the same enclosure an excellent and beautiful Dwelling House 30 feet by 24, two stories high, with a piazza the whole length, and a large Kitchen and hall. The whole neatly finished; and a charming well of limestone water with a pump and dairy, and the whole planted round with fruit and other trees. Also, a convenient Barn, Stables and Garden.

It will be sold remarkably cheap, and the payments made extremely easy by JOHN KEARSLEY. March 7, 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 immediately on the opposite side of the street adjoining the court-house. These improvements are suited to the reception of a store and a family; the house contains six comfortable rooms; the garden—one of the cellars, and some of the back-buildings are large, and all of a useful 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.
