To be Sold, A VALUABLE Tract of Land, BEING that part of the city of New Brunswick that lies in the county of Somerset and state of New Jersey. It contains upwards of 600 acres of very valuable land and is bounded on the south by the public road that leads from New York to Philadelphia for near two miles, on the east by the river Raritan for near a mile, and lays in a triangular form. Building Lots on several streets in this part of the town sell from five to ten dollars and two thirds a foot front, and the extension of Albany Street, which the situation admits of for a least half a mile, will open a new four corner for very pleasant & commodious situations for dwelling houses. A considerable space along the river is well calculated for building store-houses and wharves, and affords a seat for a Grist Mill on the bank of the river, which may be supplied with water from the Mile-Run by a subterraneous passage already dug, where vessels of 300 tons burthen may conveniently load and unload. There are now on the premises a good Farmhouse and two large barns, a commodious new Dwelling House two stories high, 42 by 34 feet square, intended and well calculated for a store, with very good cellars under the whole, and a kitchen 30 by 20 feet square, a new wharf of 80 feet front, and a well built store house or 40 by 26 feet square and three stories high, and a quarry of building stone on the premises. New Brunswick, one of the most flourishing places in New Jersey, lying at the head of the navigation of the river Raritan, is the magazine for the reception of the produce of a very extensive and fertile country, and is well situated for vending every kind of imported merchandise for supplying the country. The easy transportation of every kind of produce and manufacture from thence to New York by water, its situation on the post road through the States, and its vicinity to Perth Amboy, one of the best harbors in the States, render it an object worthy the attention of persons who have the means and know how to improve a situation so well calculated for commerce or manufacture. The premises will be shown by John Parker or James Cole, at New Brunswick, and the terms and conditions of sale, made known by James Parker, Of Perth Amboy. Jan. 29 1awtf

FOR SALE, SEVERAL VALUABLE Tracts of LAND, LYING in King George County, Virginia, lying on the south side of Potomack Creek, near its mouth, being one mile from the river Potomack, containing by old survey eleven hundred and ten acres. There is on the above tract of Land a dwelling house thirty by twenty, with three rooms on the first floor, and two above, with fire places, a kitchen with a brick chimney, stables, corn house, meat house, dairy and other out houses; also a good framed store house by twenty by twenty, and a granary, both perfectly new, and agreeably situated on the Creek, commanding a fine view of the river Potomack, and one of the best fisheries either on the river or creek. This creek is navigable for vessels of several tons, and abounds with wild fowl of every kind, particularly ducks. The land is fertile and well adapted to the culture of corn, rye, and tobacco. There is also on it a quantity of timber of superior quality, either for ship or house building, and contiguous to the water, from whence it could be rafted to Alexandria, or to the City of Washington, and is not more than fifty miles distant from either place. The growth is chiefly red and white oak, locust, walnut, hickory, cedar and poplars of an extraordinary size. There are also a couple of small meadows now in timothy, and several other rich swamps, which may be put in at a small expense. The banks consist chiefly of shell-marl of the best quality, which affords a valuable and inexhaustible fund of manure. Likewise another valuable Tract, lying in Potomack river in King George county, nearly opposite to Port Tobacco in Maryland, containing about four hundred acres; one hundred of it is heavily timbered with white oak proper for house or ship building; about fifty acres of marsh, and the whole of the land perfectly level, and well adapted to farming, being of a stiff quality, and excellent for holding manure. It bounds on the river about three quarters of a mile, has a most admirable herring and rock fishery, and for wild fowl is perhaps equal to any on the Continent. It is well situated for a Ferry, being at a narrow part of the river, and is not more than thirty five miles from the City of Washington by land. We will likewise sell a valuable Tract of Land, lying partly in King George and partly in Stafford county, containing five hundred acres; this tract is about one mile from Potomack Creek, it is well timbered and watered, the soil is of an excellent quality.

Pennsylvania Hospital 1st Month 26th 1795. The managers, being informed, that many of their Fellow-citizens, entertain an erroneous opinion, that the tax commonly called the Hospital tax, which they have lately paid, is for the use of this house; think it a duty they owe the contributors to inform the public, that this institution receives no benefit therefrom, the said tax being laid for the sole purpose of erecting a building to accommodate persons with infectious diseases which is not to be within the limits of Philadelphia. The principal dependence of the contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital is on the legacies and voluntary contributions of their charitable and humane Fellow-Citizens, throughout the City and State. Many of those whose minds have been impressed with the necessity there is of supporting this useful and valuable institution, have enabled the managers to maintain the house, at a great expense, upwards of forty years, by the valuable gifts and bequests, they have added at various times to the capital stock. Relying still with a firm confidence on the well known benevolence of the charitable citizens of Pennsylvania, they commend the institution to their further notice, and as the funds are far short of being adequate to the heavy expenses of the house, the managers do not expect to solicit their assistance in vain. Published, by order of board of managers. SAMUEL COATES Sec'ty. The managers request that the Printers of the English and German newspapers, will insert the above, to encourage the design of the contributors, in founding and supporting the Pennsylvania Hospital.

The practice of bring-
ing private concerns into public view, is in general very exceptionable, but there are cases sometimes arising among individuals, which are of eventual importance to the community at large.
Having the business perfectly under command, he reduced it to a system, with which all who will be supplied with a quantity of Porter were obliged to accord.
The following Agreement is made this day of one thousand seven hundred and ninety between and Robert Hare, both of the city of Philadelphia, viz.
That Robert Hare shall reserve sixty barrels of Porter out of the stock already brewed by him, and shall deliver the same in merchantable condition, and in proper order for bottling under the following stipulations, to wit: unless he shall be prevented from so doing by fire, loss, leakage, or other unavoidable loss.
That the said Porter shall be paid for at the rate of per barrel, by in such manner that not more than twelve pounds shall at any time be due to the said Robert Hare, and that the whole quantity hereby bargained for, shall be completely paid for on or before the day of one thousand seven hundred & ninety
That the said Porter being paid for in manner above mentioned, shall be delivered to the said as nearly as may be at such times, and in such quantities as he may require between the day of the date hereof and the day of one thousand seven hundred and ninety before which day the whole shall be delivered by Robert Hare, and received by
That the said shall sell the Porter so to be delivered to him by Robert Hare, pure and unmixed with any other liquors, and shall not between this present time and the said day of one thousand seven hundred and ninety bottle or vend, or cause to be bottled or vend in any manner whatsoever any Porter (or any liquor under that name) brewed in America, other than the Porter to be delivered by Robert Hare.
For the observance of this agreement the said parties bind themselves to each other in the penal sum of two hundred pounds. In witness whereof they have hereunto interchangedly set their hands and seals the day and year first above written.
R. HARE. (L. S.)
From the foregoing it will be seen that we were bound to take a certain quantity—that we were liable to disappointment from any or all of the specified exceptions, and should in no case whatever be allowed to make up the deficiency from any other Brewer or permitted to vend in any manner whatever any Porter brewed in America, other than the Porter to be delivered by the said Robert Hare under a very heavy penalty—which we were this year told would be increased in proportion to the quantity contracted for—Under these restrictions (some of them perhaps not legal) we might have been contented could we at all times have been supplied with a quantity equal to our engagement, but this has not been the case, for Mr. Hare's stock has proved
constantly deficient for some years past, and thereby an opportunity was given to import considerable quantities of English Porter to serve the demand.
That every Manufacturer has a right to prescribe rules for conducting his own business we readily admit; but at the same time we contend for an equal right on the part of every purchaser the moment he can support his independence. To arrive at such an independence, it may readily be supposed has been the constant wish of the venders of Bottled Porter, not only from a motive of personal interest by enlarging their business and thereby benefiting the community; but to release themselves from an unpleasant sort of bondage and subserviency to the convenience and pleasure of a single manufacturer.
With these sentiments, it will not be wondered at that we should wish to encourage the establishment of other Porter Breweries. In this we have now so far succeeded as to embolden us to step into the common ranks of trade and to profess our determination to become Freemen.
WHEREAS we conceive that all business ought to be carried on upon liberal principles and for reciprocal benefit, and as the brewing of porter has already become an object of considerable magnitude in this city, both for home consumption and exportation, we think it our duty as well as best interest to give a generous encouragement to the manufacture, but not to become personally obligated and under heavy penalties to give a preference to any man upon unequal terms as we conceive those are which have been offered, and informed that upon no other should we be supplied.
Under these impressions, we pledge ourselves to each other by the test of honor and mutual good faith, that we will not enter into any such engagement with any of the Brewers of Porter, but we will deal with all or any, according to our voluntary choice.
This it may be supposed, excited in Mr. Hare's mind unpleasant feelings, but when it is considered that we only claimed the right of changing or changing our brewers as our inclinations or occasions might dictate and that we pledged ourselves to enter into no exclusive contract with any man, he cannot deem it a combination against him and he has surely no just ground of complaint.
We are now told that Mr. Hare complains heavily against us, as entering into a combination to ruin him and that he has so far succeeded in persuading a few of his Fellow Citizens to believe it that it is proposed to raise a subscription of 2,000 dollars to support him in the conflict.
The matter is now put to issue and our several customers will judge for themselves whether our liquor and our conduct meet their approbation.

Head Quarters, at Arnheim, November 7, 1794.
S I R,
On Tuesday afternoon, as the enemy had begun to construct their batteries, Count Walmoden made a sortie, with a party of the troops, in Nimeguen, consisting of the 8th, 28th, 57th, 63rd and 78th Regiments of British Infantry under the command of Major General de Burgh, and two battalions of Dutch supported by the 7th and 15th British Light Dragoons, the Hanoverian horse guards, one squadron of the 2d regiment of Hanoverian horse, one squadron of the 5th regiment of Hanoverian dragoons, one squadron of the 10th Hanoverian Light Dragoons, and the Legion de Damas, in the Dutch service.
This sortie had every success which could be expected from it. The troops advanced to the enemy's trenches under a very severe fire, and jumped into them without returning a shot.
The loss of the enemy was almost entirely by the bayonet, and amounted to above five hundred men; that of the British and Hanoverians will be seen by the enclosed return.
I am persuaded that the gallantry of the troops upon this occasion will merit his Majesty's approbation.
Count Walmoden speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of Major General de Burgh, whose wound, I am happy to find, is very slight.
This sortie had the effect of checking the enemy's operations till yesterday morning when they opened two batteries upon the bridge and one upon the town. The effect of the former which very easily sunk one of the boats, determined me to withdraw every thing from the town, except what was in the town, beyond what is barely necessary for its defence; and Lieutenant Popham of the navy having repaired the damage done to the bridge, all the artillery of the reserve, with the British, Hanoverian and Hessian battalions, marched out last night, without any inconvenience, leaving the pickets under the command of Major General de Burgh to the amount of twenty-five hundred men; which with the Dutch forces, has been judged sufficient to maintain the place till the certainty of the Austrian movements can be determined.
I am, Sir, yours, FREDERICK.
WESEL, November 19.
Our letters from Arnheim, as well as the individuals who have returned, from thence, agree unanimously that the inundations have been effected, and measures so well taken, that there is no longer any apprehensions of the enemy's passing the Rhine to accomplish any further invasion into the territory of the Republic; for the present therefore the French limits extend from Flushing to the Waal at Nimeguen; and it remains to be seen what part of the conquered territory they will cede, should the projected peace be effected.
HAGUE, Nov. 15.
An official account has been published here of the evacuation of Nimeguen; by which it appears, that the Dutch Commandant, finding that all hopes of a retreat for a part of his garrison were cut off, in consequence of the bridge of boats being destroyed by the fire from the enemy, endeavoured to capitulate with the French, who seeing the situation of the garrison, would only grant the following terms:—
The Commandant of Nimeguen proposes to the French General command-
ing the siege of that place, to surrender the town on the following conditions.
ARTICLE I. The whole Garrison march out with all the honours of War, arms and baggage; and every Regiment shall take with it two field pieces, to the first Dutch town or post; and the said General shall furnish every thing requisite to remove the said Garrison in the most convenient manner.
ANSWER. Refused. The Garrison shall surrender prisoners of war, and the gates of the city shall be given up immediately after the signing of the Capitulation, to the troops of the Republic. The Garrison shall march out about nine o'clock in the morning, by the gate of Grave, with the honours of war, arms, baggage, matches lighted, and two field pieces for every battalion, and then lay down their arms on the Glacis. The officers shall preserve their swords and baggage; their horses shall be given up to the Commissioners sent for that purpose to Nimeguen.
ART. II. The sick who cannot be removed, shall be taken care of by French medical men till their recovery. —Granted.
ART. III. The inhabitants shall have the free enjoyment of their privileges. —Granted.
Nimeguen, Nov. 8, 1794. (Signed) SOUHAM, the Commander of the Siege of Nimeguen, (Signed) H. BALNEAVIS, Commandant.
According to the official list, the Garrison of Nimeguen consisted, on the 8th of November, when the French entered the place, of five Superior Officers to Captains, 26 Subaltern Officers, 70 Serjeants, 16 Musicians, & Drummers, and 865 corporals and privates; altogether, of 1022 men, including 29 English and 58 Swiss.
FLORENCE, Nov. 1.
When, on the 11th of October, the sentence of three of the conspirators was executed, the discharge of a musket occasioned a bloody contest between the people and the armed force. Each party thought the discharge was meant upon themselves, and as a sign of their assassination. This mistake occasioned the death of several persons, and upwards of two hundred men were dangerously wounded.
Admiral Parker has succeeded Lord Hood, in his command in the Mediterranean.
LONDON, Nov. 15.
It is certain that negotiations for peace have been opened between the king of Prussia and the French convention; but we much doubt whether any thing has been yet concluded. The defeat of the Poles and the capture of general Kosciuszko, will furnish his majesty with an opportunity to raise the price of his retreat from the Rhine; for this banking monarch knows how to sell as well as spare the effusion of his subjects' blood.
On the one hand, a number of persons have been released in Paris; on the other, the arrests are very numerous, but they chiefly fall on the Jacobins, or the members of the ci-devant revolutionary committee; so that the number of prisoners in that city still amounts to 4095, without reckoning those in the Conciergerie. All this is merely a matter of exchange; for the persons who are enlarged, only yield their places to those that went them thither. So do revolutions proceed.
One hundred and five disorders of the public tranquility have been executed at Marseilles. The committee of general safety of the convention has set at liberty one hundred ci-devant nobles, although comprehended in the class of suspected persons, according to the law of September 1. At the same time it ordered the arrest of the whole revolutionary committee of la Croix Rouge, and also eight members of the Jacobin club of that city.
November 17.
The last gazettes published in Paris inform us, that the armed party of the royalists continues to alarm the convention. Their forces increase on both sides of the Loire. The inhabitants of the Lower Maine, a part of Anjou, and of the borders of Brittany, who pretended to be republicans, in order to get in their harvest, have suddenly declared themselves royalists; have increased the army of the Chouans, and also carried their corn to them. This army is composed of twenty thousand men, distributed into different divisions, which mutually assist each other, and frequently obtain advantages which the commissioners of the convention cannot altogether conceal.
By the same channel we learn, that on the left bank of the Loire, above Nantes, the royalists of La Vendee extend from St. Laurent to St. Sab-

than three thousand of them have... the castle of Eau, which covers the canon-founding of Indret...
By the last letters from Paris, provisions began to be a little more plentiful... The French, it is feared, have captured another of our packets.

By this Day's Mail. ESCAPE OF LA FAYETTE. TROPPEAU, in Silesia, Nov. 11. The French General La Fayette, who was detained as a prisoner of state in the Austrian fortress at Olmutz in Moravia, found means on the 8th of this month to escape with one of the companions of his misfortune.
The young Physician had long formed the project of liberating La Fayette, with this view, he had passed some time at Vienna, whence he repaired to Olmutz with a travelling carriage and two very fine saddle horses. By means of the connections he had formed at Vienna, he obtained permission to see M. de La Fayette, whose health was impaired by long imprisonment.
As soon as the escape was known, requisitorial letters were dispatched to stop the fugitives. We hear, however, that La Fayette and La Tour Maubourg have got to a place of safety; but Dr. Bollman was taken on the confines of Silesia, and conducted to one of the fortresses there.

Our advice from Paris of the 24th ult. states, that the noted Representative of the people, Carrier, was on the 23d of that month, brought before the Convention and began his defence. Excluded by a long speech made for that purpose, his cause was adjourned to the next evening.
PARIS, Nov. 16. Notwithstanding the decree of the Convention, by which the sittings of the Jacobins have been provisionally suspended, several members of that Society, armed with cutlasses, pistols, and piques, assembled in the club room in the same night when Carrier's arrest had been decreed.
NEW-YORK, February 3. TALLEY, in the Convention 14 Nov. in a speech of considerable length thus adds: It is endeavored to be insinuated that there is a faction which would restore peace on dishonorable terms.
