Valuable property for Sale.

HE Subscriber offers for sale his estate
\ upon James River, known by the name
of the BYRD ESTATE, at present in the
occupation of Mr. Jacob Myers, who will

As those who may incline to purchase this

October next, to give time to those who wish
to purchase, to view the premises, and make
up their mind as to the price they think it

The most satisfactory assurance will be Civ

ANS, Esq. or Mr.. JACOB MYERS will receive
and attend to any overtures that may be
made for the purchase-and confirm the same

FROM ALoNDoN PAPER

SHIPPING.-The number of ships, principally
belonging to leading our ports in G.. Britain, which
have entered into the Quebec trade exceeds the
most sangune expectations which were formed by
persons well and long acquainted with the resour-
ces of that province: aud the ships which have
been engaged in the trade Novs Scotia and New
brunswick and their dependencies have increased TO
nearly the same proportion. II may be remark ed.
that in the furthernce of this trade, no specie
sent out of the country, the returns being all made
in British produce and manufactures. The employ
ment which is thus afforded to British ships and
British seamen, and the advantages which must re-
suit 10 the traders and manufacturers of the country
and TO the various useful classes connected with
snip building from such employment OF our own
shipping, cannot knl to excite astonishment in the
minds Of the most Indifferent and nattentivc OBJ
servers, that these colonies should have been so long
considered possessions of little value importance
and that at last resofted to them from necessity

having opened our eyes, and directed our attention
to these Invaluable appendages OF the British EN-
pire.

The Moniteur of the 18th has the following
note on the assertion of Mr.. Percival, in Par
lament, that for months the French army
in Portugal has received no pay:
The English believe that France is una
bic to pay her armies, because it has been
said that the army in Portugal received no
pay for six months
This has been the case, because it was
not thought proper to send the money inten-
ded for this purpose through Portugal, and
1t besides could have answered no end But
100000 were reserved at Valladolid for
this object.
such, however, are the elements Of the

SMOKE-WITHOUT FIRE.

The decay Of, faction has advanced in pro-
portion to the athearance OF unanimity and
energy in the national councils. SO great is
the influence of respected government over
the feelings and opinions of the people Con-
gress ought not to be inattentive to this effect
OF cause which has root among themselves.
For, the thinking part of the people still en-
quire, {" Are Congress in earnest 20 They
properly suppose that 10000 men are unequal
20 any important service as in case of war,
$4,000 would be few enough for descent on
the British doininions and no less than $4,000
more would be be required along the Allan
tic coast What pity, then, that SO much time
and SO many fine speeches have been wasted
about paltry force scarce numerous enough
;or the advanced guard of an army! Volun-
.eers cannot be had till they are convinced of
the sincerity Of the government.-Were men
even disposed to volunteer their services, only
$4,000 can be aCCepted.--But ofertheir SER
vices they Will not, till congress give the ma
ton some surety Of being in earnest. The
Americans cannot be longer deceived by
speeches and resolutions-Liks Junius, they

duet, n by their professions" The parcity of
the resolution army and the abandonment Of

They know that these and few more topics
may afford cause of debate till March or A.
prii, when another ne gociation is expected
but, if greater force be not raised, they will
rationaliy conclude, that congress only meant
to aniuse the public, and pass the time with,
out doing any thing. When this conviction
becomes general, it were better for congress
to have made TO stirsShatever, than to have
betrayed their trust and deceived the people
