next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon,
Five contiguous Plantations,

sCITUATE on the river Potomac, and
ID within about three miles OF the court
house. These estates formerly belonged 70
Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on
which he lived. They have never been seen
by either Of the subscribers but it is under-
stood, that about 1900 acres of them are as
valuable low grounds as any on the river, ane

the whole is we'll calculated for the production
Of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small
grain. of all kinds, in great abundance. The
waters are said to abound with excellent
fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carl
riage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Ba-
timore, Alexandria, and the city of Wash
layton; and as these estates possess several
good mill seats, with an abundance OF water,
and plentiful supply Of timber, they must
be very valuable.

ESQ. who lives near to them; and the terms
of payment may be known sufficient time

1t will he seen by n reference to the
reports Of the Auditor and Treasurer,
what number OF warrants are issued in
a given time, and what were paid when
presented in the same time. So bare
was the treasury during the Summer,
that very often the smallest contingent
charge could not be paid. This pros
we'd not only injurious to the public
credit, but more grievous to those ci-
tizens, whose necessities often obliged
them to part with their warrants at 3
considerable discount.
it requires but little resolution to
remedy this evil, and also another of

the want of debositum always ready
to answer emergencies, not easily fore
seen, even by the most vigilant, pro-
vident, and sagacious legislators. I
