Patent Wafhlng Machine.

'THIS highly useful Machine is found by
u experience to excel any hitherto, II
use. II will wash as Many cloaths {by the
assistance OF one person) in an hour as can
be washed in a whole day, without the pos
ssibility Of injuring, fretting or tearing the
most delicate article, and with less than half
the quantity of soap. 1t occupies very little
more space than the common wash-tub, and
with the least care will not create any slop or
wet-the construction is very simple and at
tended with little. expence. A further de-
scription of its qualities is now deemed UNI
necessary, as it is presumed none will pur-
chase without examining it,

PETERSBURG, jan. z.
SHIP SALLY.

On Wednesday last we made some re-
marks touching the evasion OF the embargo
laws By the ship Sally, which some time
Since sailed frora City Point, apparently des
tinnd for Boston. Those remarks were.
made with a view of dragging the real Gull
prits before the bar of an indignant public,
and Of e!iciting the whole truth in relation to
this business. Since that tirse we have had
an interview with Mr.. George Eegram, of
this town, who at the INSTANCE of a Mr.
George Far9nhar, of Philadelphia, be-
cai'ie security, in a very considerable a.
mount, (about S46,o00,) that the said YES
sci should not contravcne the laws of the u.
States
From this, interview, together with the
correspondence of the parties (which we have
seem we are enabled to state how far MIR.
Pegram was interested in the vessel and her
cargo, ana also the names OF the persons
who have thus cvadcd the laws of the land.
1t appears, that the ship Sally had ON
board $50 hhds. tobacco, 100 of which be-
longed to "A Mr.. M'Tdan1S, and the balance
originally to the house OF Larher u ca. of
Philadelphia, bat which afterwards was Sc
cured TO a Mr.. JiHtOn, for certain reasons
hereafter tobe explained.
1t further appears, that during last sum-
mer, Hr. PetGs met with Mr.. Farquhar in
Baltimore, (whit,ier Mr.. p. had been for the
promotion Ut the health of his family with
whom he formed an acquaintance, having
taken lodgings at the same house. During
their temporary residence together, Mr.. F.
expressed to Mr.. p an intention las there was
a probability of the embargo being raised)
Of purchasing tobacco in PetersBurgh. and
solicited Mr. P's good Offices. From the
responsibility of Mr.. F's appearance, Mr..
=. readily consented to aid him, as he was
himself much engaged in that business. Mr..
+. further animated, that before Mr.. p. re-
turned home, it was probable he (F) would
commission him to purchase a parcel Of to-
bacco.
A few days after Mr.. P's return, he re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. F. introducing and
recommending Mr.. Daniel IHton, whose
object in coming here was to purchase to-
bacco.
While here, Tillton minated to Mr.. Pf
that he had a very considerable claim q
