HOUSE TAVERN on Mill Creek, Berke-
ley County, Virginia, at present occupied
by Francis Silver, with about 200 acres OF
good limestone Land attached to it. On the
premises are two distilleries, one in com
plete operation upon the steam principle,
the other so situated as to be made as con
yenient as any other in the county; the
water is raised in the Still House by n.y.
drant. This property is situated on the main
road leading from Martinsburgh to Win
chester, and is called the halfway house
between he two places, to wit, twelve miles
from each place--it is about eighty miles
from Alexandria and eighty-five from Balti-
more. This House has been occupied as a
public stand for upwards of fifty years, and
Is acknowledged to be the most eligible
country stand above the ridge; perhaps
there are none more so between Philadel-
mia and Knoxville-in addition to its being
nearly an equal distance between Martins
burgh AMI Winchester there are four other
important roads concentrating at and near
said house This place has also the advan-
tage Of being within one hundred yards of
good grist- mill, and within less than mile
OF two others-two black smith shops, a
wagon makers shop, < cooper's shop, are
also within one hundred yards of said house.
The building is large, convenient, and COM
Portable, and the situation, with little ex-
pense, can be highly improved water in
abundance within ten yards of the door
A more minute description is considered
unnecessary. as it is presumed any person
wishing to purchase will examine the pre-
misses. The terms will be made known by
the subscriber, living near the property

eocss remaining TO be adjusted between the
two countries
With view TO this adjustment the un.
dersigned, preferring in the present state
ofthe negotiations general statement to
the formal arrangement of articles, are
willing so far to comply with the request
of the American Plenipotentiaries contain
ed in their last note, as to wave the ad
vantage to which they think they were
fairly entitled, of requiring from them the
first project of a treaty.
The undersigned having stated at the
first conference the points upon which His
Naissty's Government considered the dis.
cussions between the two countries as like
!; to turn, cannot better satisfy the re-
quest of the American Plenipotentiaries
than by referring them to that conference
fos statement OF the points which, in the
opinion of his Majesty's Government yet
remain to be adjusted
Wl,h pect to the foreible seizure of
marines from on board merchant vessels
on ne high seas, and the right of the king
OF Great Britain to the allegiance of all his
native subjects, and with respect to the
mara,ime nights of the British empire, the
undersigned conceive that, after the pre-
tensions asserted by the government of the
United States, a more satisfactory proof OF
the conciIiAtory spiri.of his majesty's go
ysrnaent cannot be given than by not re-
q1ring ans stipulation on those subjects,
which though most important in them
selves, NJ longer in consequence of the
maritime pocifcaticn of Europe produce
the sarss practical results.
On he subject of the fisheries. the I'M
dersix aed expressed with so much frankness
at Inc conference already referred to the
views OF teir government, that they consid-
er any further observation on that topic as
Tune cessary at the present time.
On the question of the boundary between
the dominion, of his ajesty and those Of
the United States. the undersigned are led
20 expect from the discussion which this
subject has already undergone that the
Of the Woods to the Mississippi Ohe in
tended arrangement of 1909 will be ad-
mitied without objection.
In regard to other boundaries. the A
merican plenipotentiafies in their note of
August 2l,n, appeared in some measure to
object to the propositions then made By the
undersigned as not being on the basis OF
= utj possidetis. The undersigned are will
ling to treat on that basis, subject to such
notifications as mutual convenience may
be found to require; and they trust that
the American pleDipotentaries will shew
by their ready acceptance of this basis,
thet they duly appreciate the moderation
of his majesty's government in so far con.
sulting the honor and fair pretensioas of
the United States as in the relative situa-
ton OF The two countries, TO authorise such
a proposition.
The undersigned avail themselves of this
opportunity to renew TO the American
plenipotentiaries, the assurance of their
high consideration
