two thousand acres-The low grounds are of
the most valuable kind, and the highlands iInme-
di2tely adjacent thereto are very fertile and un-
commonly level-It might be divided into two
plantations to advantage, or continued in one, as
might suit the owner. The houses are new and
amply sufficient for the comfortable accommoda-
ton OF family-A mere minute description is
deemed unnecessary, it is presumed the pur-
chaser will view and Judge for himself The
subscriber will only observe that the place is
very healthy, lies in fine neighbornood, and
commands, perhaps, as many advantages as any
OF situation that is offered for sale in the state

red ON the first of January, when possession
will be given; and the balance win be divided
into nine equal annual instalIments, without any

BATTLE OF ECKMTHL.
Apyil 20.

Whilst the battle of Abensberg and the
battle of Landshut, had such important re-
suits, the arch-duke Charles united with
corps Of Bohemians commanded by general
Kollowrath, and obtained at Ratlsoon 1rl-
fling success. A thousand men OF the o5th
which had been left there to guard the orlage
of Ratisbon, had received no orders 10 re-
treat. Being closed in by the Austrian ar,
nv. these brave fellows having exhausted
their cartridges, were compelled to surren-
der. This accident was very much ftlt by
the emperor, who swore that IN twenty tour
hours h. Austrian blood should How III Ra-
lisbon to revenge the alfront done to his ar
mics.
In the mean time the dukes of Auerstadt
and Dantzic held at bay the troops OF Ro-
senberp. HohenzolIern, and Lichtenstein.
There was no time to be lost. On the 22d
in the morning, the emperor began his
march from Landshut with two divisions of
the duke of Montebello, the corps of the.
duke cf Rivoli, the two divisions Of cuirras-
siers Of Nansouty and St. Sulpice, and the
Nuremberg divisions. At2, P. M. he ar
rived before Eckmuhl, where the four
corps of the Austrian army, forming one
hundred and ten thousand men, were post
ed under the command of the arch-duke
Charles. The duke of Montebello dis
lodged the enemy on theslett, in conjunc-
ton with the division of Gudin. At the
