IN FRANCE,

WHERE the ENGLISH MAY POSSESS LAND and
REAL ESTATES with th,• SAME RIGHTS as the
FRENCH.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL BY
AUCTION, at the Mart in Lindon, on TUESDAY, the
?-sth of October. at Twelve o'clock, initOne Lot,
A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE.
It includes
ABOUT 650 ENGLISH ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND,
Uncultivated only since the days of the Revolution in France
in 1794. Prior to this period it was
REMARKABLE FOR ITS FERTILITY,

and as justice has at length prevailed over despotism and vio.
lence, and the title become established by a
JUDGMENT of the COUR IWYALE,

CONDEMNING the COMMUNES to make RESTITU-
TION, WITH ALL COSTS AND DAMAGES,
it offers to an ENGLISH AGRICULTURIST atinnquestion-
ably safe Investment, a fine field for his superior skili, and a
Certainty in a few years of realizing his brightest hopes and ex-
pectations.
The Estate is situate about two miles from the picturesque
OLD FORTIFIED TOWN OF MONCONTOUI{,
ivhiCh commands a view over a country luxuriant beyond the
power of imagination. It is little more than 12 miles from St.
Brieux, the
PRINCIPAL SEA-PORT TOWN and CAPITAL of the
DEPARTMENT bf the COTES D,U NORD,
and only'about 40 miles from ST. !HALO, with
FINE MACADAMISED- HIGH-ROADS,

which bound the property for above a mile, and which to the
south conduct, at six miles distance, to L'OUDIAC, a town of
6,0(X) inhabitants; and about font- 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 JERSEY AND GUERNSEY.
Innumerable Chateaux and Country Seats belonging to and
occupied by some of the
MOST ANCIENT AND BEST FAMILIES IN FRANCE,
for which Britanny is famed, are to be found in every direction.
To enumerate them would exceed the present limit. It n'ee'd
only be observed, by way of .illustration, that the
MAGNIFICENT CHATEAU DE LORGES,
one of the fiuest in all France, the splendid seat of D
THE DUKE E CHOISEUL,
and hie extensive FON and DOMAIN of
TEN LEAGUES IN CIRCUMFERENCE;
and where game is without end, is only about five milei Off:
There are good residence's to be had in the vicinity for a trifle.
Until industry shall raise up
A LITTLE ENGLISH TOWS;
for which every facility is afforded by means of all descriptions
of material for nodding being close at hand, and labour and
provisions are both cheap and abundant—to wit, a labourer 'who
feeds himself is well content with Sid a-day:
JERSEY and GUERNSEY, and ether MARKETS,
consume, at good price's, the superfluity of grain and cattle, and
Steam Navigation prompts an industrious yeoman to this aid
only when great occasion commands. To those not thoroughly
versed in the Province of Britanny, it may be useful to observe
that the best land between St. Malo and Dinau lets readily at
Four Pounds au acre per annum. A large portion of the Es-
tate may again be converted into
THE FINEST MEADOW LANDS;
the remainder profitably adapted to sheep and arable farms.
Theie are springs in the land, and water mills near at hand.
THE CLIMATE IS DELIGHTFUL,
and is assimilated to "THE SOUTH OF FRANCE." The
English are'exceedinglv W6ll received in Brittany, and there is
a manifest desire to avail themselves of the benefit of
PRACTICAL ENGLISH AGRICULTURISTS,
as they are at least one century in the rear of English farming.
The country is peaceable—the peasantry civil and honest—and
THE PRISONS ARE EMPTY.
Slich is an outline of what may be contemplated by those
who, having limited means, aro desirous to improve their sta-
tion in life.
THE ENTERPRIZING AGRICULTURIST CANNOT
FAIL TO SUCCEED,
if talent,and inda.stry be the accompanying attendants.
To those who may be sceptical 'as to the liberty of English to
hold land in France, an OFFICIAL LETTER from
ONE OF THE MINISTERS OF FRANCE,
declaratory of its legality, and of the encouragement of the Go=
verbment, may be seen fit the Office of Mr. Robins.
To conclude—by way of encouragement to the English 'Mr-
chaser, Two Pounds Ten Shillings per Acre only will.be re-
quited, on taking possession; the remainder may be secured to
the vendor by a mortgage for seven or tett years, at 5 per cent.
interest.

One sentence more by way of climax— •
IT IS EXEMPT FROM TITHE AND TAXES.
Very descriptive particulars are ready, and to he had at the
:yyaterloo Hotel, Liverpool; the Printers of the " Mancheiter
Times" and " Advertiser," Manchester; the Auction Mart;
and at Mr. George Robins's Officei Loudon:

TO THE MERCHANTS AND SHIPOWNERS OF

MHE -MASTER SHIPWRIGHTS of LIVERPOOL,
, with reference to a Placard which appeared this morning,
signed Robert Brew," distinctly declare they have no objec-
tion to the Beneficial Society established among the Journey-
men Shipwrights, under the lath Geo. IV., chap 56, so lone as
its real purposes are adhered to; but thijaid Robert Brew
knew when fie signed that Document, tiffat the Masters ens-
sEssEn decided proof contradictory to his statement, and they
do most positively declare that they will not submit to the dic-
tation of certain o:fflcers of that Society, who, under the pretext
of preventing unqualified Journeymen from working in the
Port, have converted the said Society into an engine of annoy-
ance to the Masters, and of most seriOns injury to the Ship-
owners. The Masters, therefore, do once for all state, that they
will not emp.loy. any Man who does not renounce ail connexion
with that Society, as far as relates in any degree to the Regu-
lation of the Trade.
