Pety OF manufactures established in thei, country;
oHer Tor sale the following very valuable real estate
to wit tract of land containing about forty acres of
land bordering on the South side of the river and af-
Iorhs excellent situations for the various kinds of
mills and other works operated by water, OF which an
unlimited and nexliaustble supply may at that place

Works established there would be from injury
by an invading naval force, while they would possess
the benefit OF a navigation extending through fine
wheat country, about three hundred miles above
Richmond, and to the ocean below The fertile and
wealthy country through which this river passes
abounds IN Iron ore, and a considerable number of
Iron works are already erected convenient to the nav-
CATION OF the river which furnish great quantities of
and bar iron OF superior quality, and the coal mines

Manchester, and separated from the city of Rich
mond 1.-THE metropolis of the State) only by the
breadth Of the river considerable portion thereof
is bigh level beautifully situated for building lots and
will be the stopping place for boats from the western
country; as their voyage must terminate here as
soon as distractions are removed to make the
falls of the river navigabic OH the South side MS they
now on the North.
1t is proven by the mills already erected, that no
seats Tor water works in any part of America, offer
greater advantages, than those the falls of James
River in the vicinity of Richmond and as such pro-
perry is seldom offered for sale it is deemed an OBJ
ject worthy the attention of manufacturers through
out the United States.
The above mentioned property will be sold at auc-

twelve and eighteen months, payable in equal install
