rfLANDS and ESTATE of CRIMOND,
£vIILN'HILL, and -MI LN of CRI MON D, lying in
the Parish of Crimond, and County of Aberdeen, consisting,
according to a late measurement and survey, of z43s Scotch
aeres,whe.reof 1206 are 'Arable. or Coin-land, and 23 Pasture,
exclusive of the shale, which, on a diviion, will fall to this
Estate, of au extensive adjacent tract of Moss and Muir
Grounds, not under soo Scotch acres, at present common to
this and the neighbouring Estate of Logic, burdened with a
s_rvitude of tiring trout tile Moss to the Lands of Haddo,
bAunging to Mr. Laing, after an r which, a very
considcra;le pmportioin.of this Moss and Muir must tall :o.
the Estate of Crintond. The Sole or Subsoil of the greater
part of tuts Moss and Muir is found to be a rich Clay, capa-
ble of being brought into tillage at a small expence ; having
the advantage of easy access to Sheik-sand and sea--ware, now
in general use in that neighbourhood.

This compact property is situated in a populous and thriv.
ing uistrict, eight miles front Peterhead, and six from Fraser.
burgh; the turnpike road now making between these towns
passing nearly tnrough the middle of it. The soil is in ge.
neral of an excellent quality; dry and early; carrying weighty
clops, and many of the tenantshaving of late adopted a bet-
ter system of husbandry, a considerable improvement may be
looked fur, before the end of the present Leases, 'of .wifica
several expire in nine years, and must of the remainder are
on lives of persons already well advanced.
Part or this Estate lies upon the bank of the Loch of•
Strathbeg, a large piece of wider of several hundred acres,
abounding with tine trout and other fish ; and the Pasture.
grounds on this side include a tra4 of nearly an hundred
acres, which appears to•be a field of 'rich and deep clay, un-
der a stratum of tine sand, easily convertible into Arable
Land.

A -Brick and Tile Work has been carried on for sevwal
years upon a part putt ; and the Loch, if drained,.(which is
'very. practicable) would add-an extensive trail of rich land
to this Estate. The Pr p:ietor has a right to the Tiers
which arc valued.—And a Freehold Qualification on this
Estate will be conveyed to the Purchaser.

U,p :u the whOle, from the situation, in a rich and plentia
ful di drict, abounding with Game, the short distance froM
good .narkets, and some of the best fishing stations on the

eligib.e property will seldom be found in this part of the
country:. " •

SOLEM QUIS Dlczaz FALSUM AUDEAT ?

L O_N D 0 IV,

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1809.

We have received American Papers to tlie f: th
ult. from which .we have made the following ex-

tract :-.--

" NEW YORK, AUG. 19.

" Mr. Secretary SMITH received, on the 14th
inst: from. Mr. ERSKINE, a. long and .very satis-
faaory letter, in answer to one of the 9th inst. in
which Mr. SMITH had respea'ully requested a can-
did explanation as to the conversation which Mr.
CANNING'S dispatch o.f the 23d
_January had im-
puted to Mr. MADISON, Mt. GALLATIN, and himself.

Mr. ERSKINE' has, moreoter, in this letter
stated the reasons which, in the exercise of the
discretion given- him, had induced him not to lay
instruCtions before the Government of the United
States. These Papers will, no doubt, be coMmuni-
cated in due time to Congress."

Private accounts are also said to have ,becn receiv-
ed,
which state that Mr. JACKEpti has been most
favourably received, and that the order for enforcing
the Non-Inteicourse Aa has been rescinded.,!--We
do not, however, pledge OUrselves for the truth of this
statement.-

We have received accounts from Barhadoes to the
19th ult. They state, that .Fort Bourbon, Mani-
-
nique, had been demolished by order of our Com-
mander in Chief, and that our Garrison there were
remarkably healthy. The Feliclid frigate had ar-
rived safe at Antigua, but much injured in a gale of
wind.

No answers have yet been received from Lords
Gr,ENytt.r.E. or GREY, but the former is expeeted in

town in the course of this day

We are happy to state that accounts have reached
the Admiralty that the whole :4 the Spanish Fleet
\in Ferrol gave been cotnpletrly fitted out for sea, by
a Squadron sent for that purpose from the Tagus,
and the last ship wailed for Cadiz on the ifith

The Prince Ernest packet is arrived at Falmouth
sailed froin Malta the' loth August, and from Gib-
raltar the loth inst. The Mails will be delivered
