A VALUABLE MILL
FOR Sale.

THE fubfcriber wiihes to fell
a his MILL, known by the name of Cliff
ton Mill, within two and an half miles OF Dunn
fries on the waters of Quantieo, which is as
contant ftream as any in this part OF the coun-
try, and in an exceeding healthy iltuation; very
conveniently ituated to fine wheat country,
not being more than half nli'e OUT of the way,
in going to Dunfries, from the main road led
ing from Fauquier Court Houfe, Centervillcs
&c (and by iome thought NOT any out of the
way at alI and a very good road to it. There
are, if the purchaier choofes, 2274 acres of land
which may go with the mill, Except one acre
which will be referved) or fmaller quantity as
may be agreed On. The mill is an over.fhot with
a wheel of 10 feet inches and 4 feet head, with
two pair of ftones. One pair of French burrs of
feet, the other of Cologne, with every appa-
ratus necefary for carrying on merchant butineis
to the bett advantage. The mill houfe is fifty
feet long and twenty feven feet wide, two Tories
high, with fmal kiln for drying corn, togo
ther with barn, fable, COW houie and lumber
houle, convenient to the mill. A convenient
dwelling houte, (not quite fnilhed) with kit
chen, meat and corn hcuie; the whole of which
have been built within years pah. There are
two very thriving young orchards of peach and
other fruit trees. ltwas fuppofed, had not the
frolt killed the fruit this priDg, upwards Of 100
gallons of brandy mighl have been made from
them. Should the whole of the land be requi-
ed with the mill, there is another fnlalI houie,
kitchen and meat houfe, at ihort diftance from
the former.
The fituation of this property mutt render it
defirable acquifition to any perion inclined to
engage in this line of buiinefs particularly 70
as it is ituated 70 near tide water. It is deemed
unneceHary to FAY any thing more respecting the
premifes, as it is prefnmed any perfon inclined
TO purchafc would with to fee them. Nothing
would induce me to part with this valuable pro-
perty, but the prehing demands againh me
which am anxious to difcharge, therefore
great bargain may be expected. Any further
information may be known on application to.

From the Mercure, paper half OFFICIAL
we have translated very curious article,
which seems to throw light n.the state Of
affairs. 1t is there said that Russia and
Prussia are clothed with powers to mediate.
This we knew before. Lord Hawkesbury
stated in Parliament, he would solicit such
mediation, and Bonaparte uniformly de-
sired it. Will it be successful? Very lit
tie hopes of success are entertained in this
country. But we are pleased to see by the
article from the Mercure, that after all the
rant and defamation by the French go.
vernment against this country, it now finds
it necessary to defend itself against the re-
presentation of Britain. We perceive our
cause is understood and felt On the Contl'
nent, and that France is convinced OF the
necessity of justiiying herself. She, not
England, is put upon her defence. She
feels the evils, and consequent irritation OF
the Continent, which her blockade OF the
North of Europe occasions: and she en-
deavors to reconcile the suffering states to
her conduct. A yearago England had no
connection with the Continent but the trea-
ty of Amiens: now sheis invited tobecome
a party to the compact among civilized
nations. France denies the design OF ex'
tending her Empire, unless indeed security
should require it. Security, we are told'
made her seize Switzerland, Holland, &c
and would make her seize England II she
could. If we allow her to take whatever
