GESTLEMEN,
Your letter of the 9eth ult was
duly received by the courier of YESTERDAY. I
mad been previously informed Of the capture
OF tour OF your vessels under the Spanish de-
cfeeof JAN ), and had made suitable re-
presentation to the government. MY note
upon TINS subject remains unanswe cred hence
am unable TO give you any ceutain assu-
RANGES as 20 the issue of your trials by the in
te'ior tribunal OF lgesiras-and as DO appeal
from such tribunals on questions arising I'M
Ger this last decree, has yet been decided by
the high Courts of Admiralty, for the same
reason cannot feel any great confidence in
the result ofthe appeals whichyou may make
to 1T i'll case of condemnation at Algesiras
Nevertheless, since obviously the trade of the
United States cannot properly be subjected
to the provisions of such DEGREES. and indeed
by the existing treaty, is particularly exemp-
ted from them, and since also it is not the
intention of the French government lin imi-
tation of whose policy this measure OF his
Catholic Majesty has been taken) to execute
It's decree OF the same tenor, against the
property OF American citizens. Hence it is
reasonably to be expected, that the Spanish
government will also relax from the strict
letter OF the instrument, and adopt the APP
plication of it, which may be observed by its
ally. Therefore, in case any of your vessels
or cargoes Should be condemned at Algesiras,
must recommend an appeal to the Admit
rally here. 1t such a course should become
necessary, you would do we'll to send your
powers of attorney, and employ as your a
gent here, Moses Young, the consul of the
United States, and to communicate with him
fully upon all the circumstances of your res
pective cases.

ing on that useful business extensively, now OF.
ters to supply, at short notice, any quantity that
may be required, at the moderate price OF thirty
fVe dollars per thousand, delivered ut his Factory
He can with confidence, founded on actual ex-
pertinent, IN the covering OF about 20 houses in
this city, assert, that houses can be covered with
this tile as cheap in the first instance, as with
shingles ofthe first quality, and when the secu-
rity against FIRE, the difference of insurance the
durability and particular construction Of those
tile to resist the most penct rating rains and SHOWS
are considered, he cannot doubt of meeting with
considerable encouragement. 1t requires only
the examination of well covered roof to con-
vince the most prejudiced mind of their superio-
rity to any other tile heretofore made, or to the
best of slate, and will cost less than the latter
after paving the expense of water carriage to al
most any part ofthiscontinent.
Particular attention will be paid TO orders from
other towns, and in all cases where they arc
shipped, he will deliver them whole and sound,
along side the vessels, at the expense of carriage
only to the purchasers. Any person skilled in
the art of thing, will put on those tile with great
facility, but where they cannot be procured, he
can engage few here who have had some ex-
perence, and will go moderate distance, if the

CERTIFICATE.

hereby certify, that in the year 1908, exam
ined the Ore banks on the above mentioned lands,
and found the ore to be of very superior quail
ty, and in very great abundance. The ore banks
consist of three mountains, and such is the facil-
ty of getting the ore, that in my opinion one man
will be able to raise much as will supply one
furnace. The proper place for furnace is not
more than ! of mile from the banks, and for a
forge that may be worked with four hammers :;
about miles distant good road, there is al
so an abundance of wood TO supply the furnace
and forge, and a large quantity of White LINE
STONE near the furnace seat. / am of opinion
that there are two good seats for FORCES, (exclu-
sve Of the above mentoned) each to act with
one hammer, within of mile of the furnace !;
upon the whole, solemnIy declare, that in my
opinion (and have been for many years acquaint-
ed with the qualities of ore, and the proper ma
nagement of Iron Works. the above property has
more advantages i'll every respect, for the csta-
blishment of lion WoRgs than any have ever
