LAND for sale.
ANY gentleman desirous of purchasing Land, in the
vicinity of the city of Washington, may now be
accommodated with a situation combining advantages as to
health, soil, and prospect, not equalled perhaps in Ame-
rica.
The subscriber has for sale from 100 to 380 acres of land.
It lies within 1 1-4 mile of the city of Washington, 2 1-2
from the President's Square, (from which it bears about
N. by E.) and 3 1-4 miles from the Capitol. It bears
nearly W. from the westernmost spring of the head waters
of the River, distant therefrom about 1-3 of a mile. The
situation is remarkably healthy, and every part of the
land is well watered—has great abundance of the choicest
fruit; about 80 acres are in wood, and there are about 50
acres of meadow-ground, great part thereof can be wat-
ered and the whole laid down in Timothy-grass at a small
expense. There are several beautiful eminences on it; one
of the height commanding a most beautiful and extensive
prospect. To the South, you have a full view of the city
of Washington, the town of Alexandria, and the river
Potomac, as far as the eye can reach. To the north, a
full view of the Sugar-Loaf Mountain, distant about 35
miles, with the surrounding country. To the West, a ve-
ry extensive view of the lands in Virginia: the whole
forming a grand rural Amphitheatre. Any person incli-
ned to purchase, will find on viewing the situation, that the
Landscape is far superior to the sketch given of it in this
advertisement. For price, &c. apply to the subscriber,
living on the premises, or to George Walker, Esq. now
in Philadelphia.

PROPOSAL, By BIGREN & MADAN, For publishing by Subscription, that celebrated Work, Godwin's Political Justice. From the last London Edition. TERMS: I. It will be published in two large volumes, duodecimo. II. Price to Subscribers, two dollars, handsomely bound, to be paid on delivery of the work. III. As soon as a number of Subscribers appear, sufficient to defray the expense, it shall be put to press. IV. The names of the Subscribers shall be prefixed. The following Character of this work is extracted from the Monthly Review, p. 311, 312, for March, 1793.
"We have no small degree of pleasure in announcing the present work to our readers; as one which from the freedom of its enquiry, the grandeur of its views, and the fortitude of its principles, is eminently deserving of attention. By this eulogium, we would by no means be understood to subscribe to all the principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge is not yet arrived at that degree of certainty which is requisite, for any two men to think alike on all subjects; neither has language attained that consistent accuracy, which can enable them in a manner perfectly correct and intelligible to both. These difficulties are only to be overcome by a patient, incessant, and benevolent investigation. "Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novel; and some doubtless are erroneous: but that which ought to endure even to those whose principles it may offend, is the strength of argument adduced in it to prove, that peace and order most effectually promote the happiness after which political reformers are panting—that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate; and that convulsive violence is dangerous not only to individuals (for that result comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the opposite of this principle that inspires the enemies of political enquiry with so much terror; it is the supposition that change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the intervention of evils more destructive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic sentiment, of calm and gradual reform, (which in its proper place he has fully illustrated) Mr. GODWIN proceeds without scruple first to enquire into present evil, through its essential branches, and next to demonstrate future good. "Dividing his work into eight books, and making THE IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS the subject of the first, he begins by an attempt to prove the omnipotence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and that on these moral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend." Subscriptions received by the publishers at their Printing Office, back of No. 77 Dock-street, Philadelphia. June 18
PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A Plan of the City of Washington, By THOMAS FREEMAN, Surveyor of the Territory of Columbia and City of Washington.
CONDITIONS. I. This Plan shall be an elegant and correct Copperplate impression, of about four feet square, whereon will be accurately delineated the natural state of the ground contained within the lines of the city—plains, valleys, rising grounds, springs, runs, creeks, &c. with the lines of the grand avenues, streets, squares, public appropriations for walks, gardens, as now correctly laid out and permanently established—the river Potomac, and Eastern Branch, opposite the city—the channels, coasts, harbours and foundations of the same, as taken by order of the Board of Commissioners. II. On the sides of the Plan shall be represented a beautiful elevation of the President's House and the Capitol. III. To render the drawing still more intelligible and useful, it shall be accompanied by a Pamphlet, containing all the laws of the general and particular governments, respecting the location and establishment of the city—the orders and regulations of the Board of Commissioners, approved by the President of the United States, respecting the purchase and improvement of lots therein—a particular description of the city and adjacent country of the river Potomac, with the productions, state of cultivation, commerce, population, &c. of the country through which that vast river flows. IV. This work will be published under the sanction of the Commissioners of the City, and shall meet with their full approbation before it appears in public; and Mr. FREEMAN pledges himself to make it as accurate useful and entertaining as possible. V. The price to subscribers 5 Dollars, to be paid on reception of the Plan and Pamphlet. Surveyor's Office, City of Washington, June 8, 1796. Subscriptions will be taken at the Surveyor's office, in the city; Mr. Rice's Bookstores in Baltimore and Philadelphia; and at the principal Bookstores on the Continent. June 17

Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, June 24, 1796. In a late Virginia paper, a candidate for a seat in the Federal House of Representatives has published an address to his Fellow Citizens, in which he inveighs against the treaty, the funding system, foreign influence, &c. &c. Under the address the following article, written, no doubt, by some malicious aristocrat. "HUZZA FOR CITIZEN GERARD!!! "ALL true patriots will doubtless lend their aid to bring that enlightened Statesman into our public councils.—He is a real Democrat, and fulfils all his Wheat Contracts." A FEDERAL REPUBLICAN.
COMMUNICATIONS. The opponents of the British treaty said that the debts due by the merchants of the United States, which that instrument would compel them to pay, amounted to five (some of them said fifteen) millions of dollars. It was rough guessing. The Aurora of this morning has found out that a law passed during the late session appropriating "about eighty thousand dollars to carry the British treaty into effect" and that the sum of eighty thousand dollars will not pay a "few millions!!"
"Let the people judge who are disorganizers, antifederalists, and abettors of a foreign faction in the United States; let the sticklers for administration be judged of from their own mouths. A member of the house of representatives lately declared in a large circle, that the union could not hang together if such men as Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin once got into the executive administration; as if the people had not the capacity of choosing with discretion their public officers." The foregoing is extracted from the Aurora, and contains most precious confessions indeed! Here it is confessed what our antifederal faction mean by THE PEOPLE. They do not mean any person in office or those who have elected them, for here, a member of the house of representatives is proscribed merely for giving an opinion as one of the people. But supposing that a convention held since the adjournment of Congress had voted in conclave, that Mr. Jefferson should be President of the United States, Mr. Madison or rather Mr. Burr, vice President, and Mr. Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury; would any man cease to be one of the people, would he be a disorganizer, an antifederalist, an abettor of a foreign faction, if he should declare it as his opinion "that the union could not hang together if such men once got into the executive administration?" This is a precious confession.— "You shall be vice-roys, it is true. But we'll be vice-roys over you."
The governor of this Commonwealth in consequence of an infectious disease in the West Indies has by proclamation ordered that all vessels arriving in the Delaware from any of the West India Islands shall perform a quarantine of FIVE DAYS, by being detained opposite the Health Office on State Island during that time.
In the present legislature of Massachusetts there is a majority of about 5 to 1 of Federal characters. Mr. Robbins, the Speaker of the House of Representatives was elected to that office almost unanimously.
The senate elected Mr. Goodhue, Senator of the United States, for six years from the 4th March 1797. Mr. Goodhue and Mr. Robbins had an equal number of votes in the House, viz. 70 each for the same appointment on the first trial, on the second, Mr. Goodhue preponderated, and the house concurred with the Senate.
From the above circumstance certain persons have absurdly supposed that Mr. Robbins is of the anti-federal faction; not reflecting that it is impossible that any such characters should gain a majority in such a legislative body, for any office whatever. In addition to which, it may be asserted that Mr. Robbins is as firm a Federalist as any in the United States.

The mischievous effects of Mr. Jay's treaty, says this observer, will shortly be very sensibly felt by the citizens of the southern states, as chief justice Ellsworth has decreed that it prohibits the selling of French prizes in American ports. And further, he says, that during the present war, the prices of West India produce have been low, in consequence of the great quantities captured and sent into Carolina and Georgia by the French cruisers. Had this been the case, the people of the southern states might have enjoyed some advantage; but your correspondent proceeds to shew that it was not the case, and that the citizens at large are not benefitted, but that the merchants are: for, says he, the merchants finding rum, sugar, coffee, and molasses (which they bought cheap at prize sales) better articles of remittance than rice and indigo, derived great profits from shipping them. What is this, but saying that the merchants would not buy their rice and indigo, when they could purchase West India produce? and I think it requires a little more ingenuity in your correspondent, than his piece will allow us to think he possesses, to prove that the agricultural interest of a country is benefitted by the admission of articles, so much more desirable as remittances as to prevent the sale of its produce. Thus, for instance, the merchant who had ten thousand pounds would not buy a barrel of rice or indigo, because prize goods made better remittance. This, to be sure, is a substantial reason indeed against the treaty with the planters of this country: for it is saying, in so many words, that if the merchants could get prize goods enough, they would not buy a barrel of your rice and indigo, and for an excellent reason too; because it did not make as good a remittance. Again, if the merchants buy it with avidity to

export, how are the citizens benefitted by the sale of these articles? for they are not used, but remitted, as they answer better than rice, indigo and cotton. But if any one will take the trouble to enquire, he will find that even the merchants generally are not benefitted; for the prize goods are monopolized by a few monied men, and they, and not the citizens, are benefitted by this advantageous commerce, as he calls it. So that, from his own shewing, the southern states, if he means the citizens of the southern states, will not feel the mischievous effects of the treaty.
But he tells you that the revenue will be injured as the duties paid on them at the custom house amounted to thirty thousand dollars. This observer either wilfully misrepresents, or is very ignorant of what he has undertaken to explain; for every farthing of the duty except one per cent is returned on these goods being exported. So that the revenue does not get one six pence by them if they are remitted. Now, if this is such an advantageous commerce to our merchants, the articles must be exported; if they are exported, the revenue is not benefitted; as the drawback would be allowed, and the citizens will derive no advantage, for they cannot be consumed in a foreign country and in this also.
A FRIEND TO TRUTH.
FRANCE.
ADDRESS.
The Executive Directory to the French Armies.
DEFENDERS of the country the moment approaches when you are again to take up your victorious arms; the moment approaches when you are to quit a repose to which you consented in the hope alone that it would lead to an honorable peace; but the seas of blood which have flowed have not yet satiated the rage of your enemies. They unquestionably imagine that we are about to abandon the fruits of our victories, at the very moment when success is ready to crown them. They imagine that we are about to demand of them as cowards a peace which we have offered them as generous enemies. Let them conceive these unworthy expectations; we will not be surprised; they have never combated for liberty; but what they cannot be ignorant of, is that the brave armies with which they will again to try their strength, are the same by which they have been so often subdued. No—they have not forgotten the prodigies of French valor; they still recollect with terror, both the redoubts of Gemmapes, and the plains of Fleurus, and the frozen rivers of Holland; they recollect that the Alps and the Pyrenees have opposed to you but feeble barriers, and that the peninsula of Quiberon became the tomb of all the partisans of the yoke, in the hopes of subjecting you to the yoke of a master, dared to set their feet on the soil of the republic. If they could have forgotten all this, you will bring it to their recollection by blows still more terrible: you will learn them finally, that nothing can resist the efforts of a great nation which determines to be free.
Brave warriors you have afforded an example of disinterestedness which cannot exist unless among Republicans. Oftentimes amidst the greatest scarcity of provisions, of an absolute want of the most indispensable objects, you have displayed that heroic patience, which joined to your impetuous valor, so eminently distinguishes you, and will signalize you to all nations, and to the eyes of posterity. Republican soldiers, you will preserve this great character; and at the moment when your situation has been ameliorated, when with an unanimous voice the Representatives of the nation have taken measures to provide efficaciously for your wants, you will redouble also your vigour and courage, to put an end to a war which can be terminated by new victories alone.
In vain has the French government manifested to all powers which wage war against France, a sincere wish to restore at length the repose of exhausted Europe; it has in vain made to them the most just and moderate propositions; nothing has been capable of removing their deplorable blindness. Yes, brave warriors, we must still have victories, and it is your energy alone that can put a stop to this devastating scourge. Prepare therefore for a last effort; and let it be decisive: let every thing yield to you, let every thing be dissipated by your Phalanges; let the new nags or your enemies, carried on by your triumphant hands, form, with the preceding ones, the trophy with which, in the name of France always great in her misfortunes, always just in her prosperity, the equitable peace you will give to the world will be proclaimed.

Arrived at this Port, Ship Providence, Felt, Charleston; Brig Eliza, Story, Jamaica; James & Margaret Masterton, Wilmington N.C.; Sloop Liberty, Lockwood, Antigua; Three Brothers, Atkinson, Georgetown S.C.
Died lately, at his house in Pimlico (Old England) Mr. YATES, Comedian, aged 84 years. He was formerly of Covent Garden and Drury Lane Theatres.
He is reported to have left property to the amount of 36,000l. in different legacies. Of this property 10,000l. was got in the management of the Opera. Another third of this property came from rigid economy, and extreme meanness. On his wife's night he used to attend in the gallery to pack it; entreating the people to sit closer.
DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION!
Yesterday arrived here the ship Providence, capt. Felt, 7 days from Charleston (S. C.) who brings the following distressing particulars:—That on Monday the 13th inst. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon a fire broke out in a stable in Lodge Alley, which soon communicated to, and laid waste the surrounding buildings, amounting to upwards of THREE HUNDRED! and it was not entirely got under until after 12 hours particular exertions of the inhabitants; and we are sorry to learn, that a number of lives were lost, and other injuries happened during the conflagration; particularly in the attempts to blow up small wooden buildings, in order to stop the progress of the flames. By an operation of this kind, a young man was blown at least 12 feet high; he luckily received no material injury.
An immense property must have been destroyed; but the gentleman who furnishes the above, is not able to conjecture the amount, or who were the principal sufferers by this destructive element.
Extract of a letter from Salem in the county of Washington, to a merchant in this City dated the 11th inst.
"On Wednesday last, Gen. WILLIAMS was met at Cambridge, on his return from Congress, by Capt. Harvey's troop of light-horse, in complete uniform, and from thence escorted to Salem, where his fellow townsmen received him with a most cordial welcome. He was complimented with 16 guns by the artillery, and conducted to his seat, amidst the heartfelt applauses of a concourse of his fellow citizens, collected together on this joyful occasion. Every countenance was impressed with a grateful sense of his exertions in defence of our constitution, our national faith and honour, and that inestimable blessing, domestic tranquility."

LONDON, April 25.
SINGULAR CASE OF MURDER.
A French officer, on the 3d inst. going in a vessel from the Hague to Rotterdam contracted an acquaintance with one of the passengers, a dealer in watches, who was going from the latter city to Brabant. The watchmaker was so well pleased with the patriotic effusions of his companion in the course of their passage, that, when the vessel arrived at its place of destination, both resolved to halt at the same inn, which is called the Kleine Schipperen Herberg. They supped together, and afterwards amused themselves at cards till one in the morning, when they agreed to sleep in one room, and at
length in one bed. Unfortunately, however, the tradesman had, either by accident or carelessness, exhibited to his new acquaintance a purse richly stowed with ducats. The officer waiting till sleep had closed the unscrupulous traveller's eyes, stopped his mouth with a handkerchief, and almost instantly plunged a sword into his breast. The instrument continued to hack the miserable victim till his intestines dropped out, till no signs of life appeared, when he dragged the body to a trunk, which belonged to the murdered person, in order thus to conceal the main evidence of this dreadful deed, and by cutting the joints of the thighs and arms, which were brought by that means to rest on the body, he at length succeeded; and again locked the trunk. Being unable, however, to wipe up all the blood which deluged the bed and the chamber, he stabbed himself in a part where no danger could result, and returned in tranquility to his pillow, where he actually slept so long the next morning, that the chamber maid conceived it her duty to inform the gentlemen of the late hour; but obtaining no answer she peeped through the key hole; and seeing the floor covered with blood, gave an instant alarm. The police officers attended, broke open the door and after a narrow search, discovered the horrible contents of the trunk. The Frenchman alledged, that what had happened was merely in his own defence, and shewed his wound as a demonstration of the intention of the deceased! He is, however, closely confined, but the friends of humanity suspect that the monster will escape his merited punishment. The mangled body was taken to the surgeon's hall at Rotterdam, and exposed to public inspection for several days, in order to discover the unfortunate trade, in's name and family.
BOSTON, June 20.
Friday evening last, arrived here the Carteret packet, prize to the French privateer Tartar, of 16 guns. She was bound from New-York for Halifax, and was taken within a few leagues of the latter place.
The Tartar also took a Brig laden with Sugar, which arrived safe yesterday.
The Tartar is arrived in the outer harbour; as is also a British privateer brig of 14 guns.
Since our last several vessels have arrived from Europe. They bring no later news than before received, except, that hostilities have recommenced between the French and Austrians, near the Electorate of Hanover—and the Austro-Sardinian army has been twice defeated, with the loss of 14500 men, besides their cannon, baggage, and stores.
By capt. Sheppard, who arrived yesterday from Dominica, we are informed that St. Lucia, Pigeon Island, &c. are surrendered by capitulation. The whites are to remain there in full possession of their property; the blacks to be sent to Africa, and the mulattoes to be tried for their lives. This was received at Dominica by a packet which arrived the day before captain Sheppard failed. It was thought the British would shortly proceed against Guadalupe.

SALEM, June 17.
Extract of a letter received from a gentleman belonging to this town, and directed to his owner here, dated
ISLE OF FRANCE, March 25, 1796.
"The Modesty Privateer arrived here 5 days ago from a most successful cruise off the Saad Head in the Bay of Bengal—and has brought in all her prizes; the most valuable of which is the Triton English East-Indiaman from Madras for Bengal. The circumstances of this capture are perhaps the most extraordinary that ever occurred, and are as follows: The Modesty had at first but 80 men, and had distributed the greater number on board her other prizes—when the Indiaman hove in sight, a Bengal pilot flew (which was a prize to the Modesty, and which they used as a decoy) then bore down upon the Triton, having on board only 23 men in all, and boarded from their yard arms this formidable ship—17 republicans only got on board, and with sword and pistol in hand completely mastered her in about 15 minutes. The Indiaman had 130 Europeans on board, was well armed and had taken 30 men extra from Madras. The English captain, and 8 or 10 men were killed in the action—the rest run below, and were secured. They then captured another vessel, which the prisoners ransomed, and fled for Madras. The generous French captain (who is a young hero not 21 years old) gave the passengers, among whom were several ladies, all their private property. He fought the English captain hand to hand, and shot him with his own pistol. It seems the Modesty was not in company at all—and indeed it would have been a sad digression from her name to have engaged in such an unequal combat—17 men overpowered 130, protected by 40 guns, at least, mounted! the remaining 6 could not get on board. The english prisoners were made to pass one by one, in irons from their own ship into the ransomed vessel—and the invincible tars of old England, exclaimed as they passed, "D-n myeyes, Jack, where are the men that took us?" The French privateer had only a letter of marque's commission, and went originally to take turtle—she is an American built vessel, and belonged last war to, and sailed from Baltimore—schooner rigged, and was called the Antelope. In consequence of this success, the Governor here has granted permission for 4 privateers to sail for India, and they are now equipping.
American produce is very dull here and in no demand. Some articles are fifty per cent. lower than in America. Coffee is rising daily—the price is now 15 1-2 dollars per sack of 100 French lb. and scarce any to be had at that rate. The Governor is respected, and the island is in a state of defence—but they fear a visit from the English fleet. However, it would be difficult to take the island, and indeed almost impossible—but the port could be easily blockaded, as the French have only a few frigates in these seas.
"There are six or eight Americans here, all making bad voyages, and we hear of a dozen more expected every moment, who must sink half their capitals: a ship, capt. Boit, alias Boyd, belonging to Boston, who came from the north-west coast of America, by the route of China, and has made a successful voyage, says the Straights of Sunda are full of American ships, but he gives no particular names."

And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant Specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares, from which it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate advertisers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
S. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry.
