ing at II o'clerk s(the Managers will meet at
the Basin, andsE Let some situations 10 the high
est bidder.
The terms on which the Managers wish to
dispose of the scites, NAV be more particularly
known after The 1st Of March next, by appIi
cation to Daniel Il. Allen, Clerk for the Com
pany, residing at Petersburg.
The subscribers are disposed to rive every

market for I'm extensive back country, as well
on the river Appomattox, as to the soush and
west Of Petersburg, and afiording TO this coun
try market 20 miles nearer than Richmond,
its only rival.
The subscribers further state, that for the
want OF sufficient number of Mills al Peters
burg, large quantity Of wheat is carried from
the south OF Appomattox to Richmond, altho'
the roads are much worse and the distance
further than to Petersburg-And as 90 the con.

The following message was re cciyed from
the President, which was read and referred
to the Committee OF Foreign Relations.
To the Senate and Hoxse Of Representatives Of Me
United Stntes
The tendency of our commercial and navigation
laws IN their present state, to favor the enemy and
thereby proieng the War, is more and more develop
ed by experience. Supplies of the most essential
KIND, lind their way. not only to British ports and
British armies at distance; but the armies in our
neigheorhood, with which our own are contendnc.
derive from our ports and outlets subsistence at.
tanable with difficulty, if at all, from other sources
Even the fleets and troops nfestng our coasts and
waters, are by like supplies accommodated and en-
couraged in their predatory and incursivc warfare.
Abuses having like tendency take place in our
import trade. British fabrics and products find their
way into our ports under the and from the ports
OF other countries and often British vessels dis
guised as neutrals by false coiors and papers
To these abuses it may be added that illegal mpor.
tatioDs openly made with advantage to the viola
tors Of the law, produced by under valuation or other
circumstances involved The course Of the judicial
proceedings against them.
1t is found also that the practice of ransoming is
cover for collusive captures and channel for nte-
gence advantageous TO the enemy.
To oremedy as much as possible these evils, re-
CONNIE nd
That an efiectual Embargo on exports be immedi-
ately enacted.
That all articles known to be derived either not a.
all, or in an mmaterial degree, only from produc-
tons of any other country than Great Britain, and
particularly the extensive articles made Of wool and
cotton materials, and ardent spirits made from the
cane, be expressly and absolutely prohibited from
whatever port or place in whatever vessels the
same may be breughtint the United States and that
all violations OF the nonmporta,ion be subjected
to adequate penalties.
That among the proofs of the neutral and national
characters of foreign vessels be required that the
masters and supercargoes and three fouhs at least
of the crews, be citizens subjects of the country
under whose flag the vessels sail
That all persons concerned in cousive captures by
the eneiny. or in rsnsouing vessels their csrCoes
from the enemy, be subjected to adequate penalties
10 shorten as much AS possible the duration Of the
war, itisiadspensable that The enemy should feel all
the pressure that can be given it, and the restraints
having that tendency, will be borne with The greater
cheeffuness BY all good citizens as The restraints
will effect those most who ready to sacrifice
the interests of their country, in pursuit of teiF
