IN FRANCE.
In the PROVINCE of BRITTANY, adapted to SUCCES*4
EMIGRATION for FARMERS of LIMITED INCO
and where the ENGLISH MAY POSSESS LAND and REAV.,:
ESTATES, with the same RIGHTS as the FRENCH.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed
SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart in Lcndon, on Diurnal{
nay, August 8, at Twelve o'Clock, in Two Lots,
A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE
Called the FANTON FARM. It includes
ABOUT 650 ENGLISH ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND,
a portion of which had remained uncultivated since the days of the
Revolution iti France in 1794. Prior to this period it was
REMARKABLE FOR ITS FERTILITY,
and as justice has at length prevailed over despotism and violence,
and tl.e title not only acknowledged, but indisputably good, having
been established by a
" JUDGMENT OF THE COUR ROYAL,"
which condemned the Communes to make restitution, with
" ALL COSTS AND DAMAGES,"
consequently it offers to an
ENGLISH AGRICULTURIST
an unquestionably safe investment, a fine field for his superior
skill, and a certainty in a few years of realizing his brightest, aye
his fondest expectations. During the last year a considerable sum
has been expended in Farm-yards and Agricultural Buildings,
Cottages, &c.
The Estate is situate about two miles from the picturesque
OLD FORTIFIED TOWN OF MON'CONTOUR.

It is little more than twelve miles from St. Brieux, the
PRINCIPAL SEAPORT TOWN AND CAPITAL OF THE

DEPARTMENT OF THE COTES DU NORD,
and only about sixty miles from ST. MALO, with
FINE MACADAMISED HIGH-ROADS,

which bound the property above a mile, and which to the south co:I.

tents; and about four miles further, to the course of the
CANAL FROM NANTES TO BREST,

and also to L'ORIENT ; and by way of auxiliary to never-ending
advantages, it is only about
TWENTY HOURS SAIL FROM SOUTHAMPTON,

whence magnificent Steamers depart several times in the week. and
a pleasant remove from the

ISLANDS of JERSEYZGUERNSEY, and OTHER'MARKETS,
consume at good prices, the superfluity of gram and cattle, and
Steam navigation prompts an industrious yeoman to this aid only
when great occasion commands. A large portion of the estate may
be converted into

THE FINEST MEADOW LANDS;
the remainder profitably adapted to sheep and arable terms. There
are springs in the land, and water-mills riear at hand.

THE CLIMATE IS SO MILD,
that it is assimilated to " THE SOUTH OF FRANCE." The
English are exceedingly well receiced in Britanny, and there is a
manifest desire to avail themselves of the benefit of
PRACTICAL ENGLISH AGRICULTURISTS,
as the native farmers are itt least one century in the tear of
English .
THE ENTERPRISING AGRICUTURIST CANNOT FAIL
TO SUCCEED, EVEN WITH VERY LIMITED MEANS,
if talent and industry be the accompanying attendants.
To conclude—by way of encouragement to the English purchaser,
Three Pounds per acre only will be required on completion, and
the remainder may remain on security of the estate for three or
five years.

Labour is exceeuingly moderate. A man who feeds himself is
content with Bd. a day,
" AND IT IS EXEMPT FROM TAXES AND TITHE."
It may be remarked, in conclusion, that a large portion of the
uncultivated land has, during the last two years, been ploughed up,
and put into the best state. The crop of Corn now growing there.
upon will demonstrate this fact beyond any doubt.
Also, a very compact snug Farm, called CARPORT. of
EIGHTY ACRES, of which TWENTY ACRES
ARE IN CULTIVATION, AND NOW IN CROP.
Descriptive particulars to be had at the Waterloo Hotel,
Liverpool ; the Printers of the " Manchester Times" and " 4d-
vertiser," and Mr. Fisher, Auctioneer, all of Manchester; the
Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Office, London.

IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA,
A MOST IMPORTANT PROPERTY for those of MODERATE
MEANS, and who would EMIGRATE SUCCESSFULLY,
HOLDING FORTH TEMPTATIONS of the most EN.
COURAGING KIND, as the LANDS ARE FERTILE BE-
YOND COMPARISON, and SUPPORTED by NATURAL
AUXILIARIES NEARLY INFINITE.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION and peremptorily,
at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 23, at Twelve
o'clock, in Lots.

The FREEHOLD LANDS included in this important SALE,
extending to FIFTY THOUSAND ACRES;
will be divided in Lots, from
TWO HUNDRED TO TWO THOUSAND ACRES IN EACH;
situated on the main left hand fork, of the Big Sandy River, which is
a branch of the

MIGHTY WATERS OF THE GREAT OHIO,
in the Commonwealth of Virginia, intersected in every direction by
INNUMERABLE CANALS,
which empty their tributary waters upon the confluence of the

BIG SANDY AND OHIO RIVERS;
directly in the neighbourhood are
RISING TOWNS, GOOD MARKETS, NAVIGABLE RIVERS,

AND NATIONAL TURNPIKE ROADS.
There is a direct communication by steam to
NEW YORK, ORLEANS, PITSBURG, RICHMOND, BAL.

TIMORE, AND WASHINGTON.
THE VAST RAILROADS HAVE COMMENCED

under the sanction of Government, who have contributed

FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
towards their completion. They are now fast approaching maturity,
and run through a large portion of this elegible property.
The lands are in Cabell and Kanawha counties. They are fertile
almost beyond belief, the soil adapted to the production of eve'''.
thing that is useful and necessary for city consumption—viz., Barley,
Wheat (averaging 30 bushels per acre), Rye, Oats, Cotton, Pota..
toes, Maize (averaging 60 to 100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay
(crops two tons per acre), Hemp, Tobacco, Fruit, and Vegetables,
in the greatest profusion and perfection. They are also peculiarly
adapted for RAISING OF CATTLE
of all kinds, and three years absolutely

DOUBLE THEIR NUMBER.
Industry and a little capital, therefore, are alone wanting to render
this one of the

FAIREST AGRICULTURAL PORTIONS OF THE GLOBE,
in a climate, it must be remembered, remarkable for its salubrity
and invigorating Powers, and the Country, in point of Health,
unsurpassed ; besides which, it may be called
THE LAND OF PROMISE,
from its extraordinary and inexhaustible discoveries and natural
productions.

FOR THIS CHARMING COUNTRY,
is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scenery, but abounds
in objects interesting to the Naturalist and Antiquarian, inasmuch as
the mineral and fossil wealth is nowhere to be equalled, and iron,
stone, coal, lead. limestone, Sic., are found in every part in the
greatest abundance; and, what is now of first-rate importance to
the emigrant, in point of profit or revenue, most valuable and coo.
tinuous Salt Springs are to be found on every Acre of the Estate.
From the minerals on this property a fruitful source of commercial
enterprise maybe contemplated. It should be observed that religious
worship is unshackled, and there is
A TOTAL ABSENCE OF TAXES, ALSO
VAST TRACTS OF VALUABLE TIMBER,
consisting of enormous oak, maple, poplar, and other trees, which
add in a large degree to the already large profit, being in great
demand for ship-building, steam-boats, and exportation.

It may, therefore, be stated, in great confidence, that this sale
will secure to those of

VERY LIMITED MEANS WEALTH WITHOUT RISK;
possessing only the essential requisites of industry and talent. A
farmer having saved even from 2001. to 3001. from the wreck of his
fortune will find at this sale an opportunity to realise all his bright
and early anticipation. It is not a speculation founded on theory,
experience has demonstrated that it is a moral certainty, and, conse-
quently, a mechanic possessing 2001. or upwards, may confidently
appear at this auspicious sale.
One single fact will convince the sceptic that the United States are
sought as the resting place of nearly all emigrants : during one
mouth no fewer then
