WHITE HOUSE FISHERY
SHAD & HEARINGS,

EAN be had, in any reasonable quantities
0and at Moderate prices, al the WHITE
HOUSE FISHERY, of the Belvoir estate,
GU the River Potomac-and persons from
the country, as we'll as water customers, are
invite d to that shore, where they may expect
the best OF treatment, and every faci-
lily, in getting such supplies as they need,
which thai well known fishery, and the ut
most attention of the subscriber can afford.
Having been long experienced that bust.
mess on the Delaware river, and having ta-
ken the fishery for several seasons, be has
caused complete OUTFIT to be made, not on
ly for taxing SHADES heretofore, but HER
RINGS-of which ills well known that al
most any number may be caught at that
shsre, when the gluts are in the river
1rFCountry produce will be received as
payment for fish at the Alexandria prices
such as Rye, Corn, Oats, Wheat, Bacon and
Flour, together with Whiskey and Brandy.
The subscriber will give the use of his sloops
and schooners, gratis, to those who may
wish TO carry their plus produce to mar
ket for inspection or sale-which may be
done by theowDers, whilst their spare hands
remain with their Wagons and carts at the
landing to put up hsh.
There is a house of entertainment close
to the said fishery. where country customers
may have comfortable lodging, horse feed,
&c. at low rases,
As the Sandy Point Herring Fishery at the
mouth OF Pohic Creek, on the same estate,
is carried on this season by Mr. John Hem
deTson, there will be the greater,certainty
that customers will not be Disappointed in
Herrings: the two fisheries being near toge.

TO THE PUBLIC.

| regret that | am thus dragged out be-
fore the public to wrest my character
from the hands of those men, who would
willing ly destroy the reputation ofan limo
ocent woman, by making and circulating
most unfoundcd and malicious false
hood.
The ungentlemanly attack which Mr..
Eberman has been pleased to make on
me, by stating in the Spectator that my
husband intended 10 remove to Vandalia,
is so far from being truth, that it has not
the least foundation. That Squire Eber-
man would go and circulate such mean
and false report, without any benefit to
himself, but merely to inlure my hus-
bands election, and to serve those for
whom he had become an understrapper,
is to me very strange; for | with truth
declare that | never told him any such
thing. | think it would be degrading
my husband TO put him on par with a
man that would paper-6ght a woman !;
and as | think myself equal in intellect
with Squire Ebcrman, and far Superior
in soul--for | would not make a false
statement against him, or any other per-
son---I will leave it with the public to
Judge of the truth Of what have said,
and just mention the way which the
Squire undertakes to make the public
believe downright falsehood. After 1t
was denied by me, he said he could
prove it by three men. The company
of men who were with him, were, Mr..
George Teas, Isaac Ferguson, Collins,
and Ovens. Mr.. Collins being absent, he
(the Squire) went to Ferguson and Teas,
who said they heard no such converse
but to make Jack of Owens, who was
mean enough to become his dupe. /
would hate, if | was Owens, to serve a
master that would attack a woman who
stays at home and minds her own bust
ness, and tried to treat him well when
she had the opportunity-in return l
would have asked nothing more than for
him to have told the truth and shame the
Devil.
That this false report was circulated
to injure my husbands election, must
be plain to every person; and all | can
say now to the Squire is, am sorry he has
suffered himself to be made catspaw of,
by them that would not wipe the dirt
from off their shoes against him as soon
as the election was over.

benefit, 20 assist Us to est roads, build
mills, bnild boats, or other public SCI
vice, that cannot possiblybe effected with
out numerous and dense population,
which our country is generally able to
support, from the uncommon saneness
of the fertility of our soil. Yet the lands
held in bodies are raising in value annu-
ally by our industry, who occupy the
country by our labor Taxation is the
only method to oblige the holders of land
by filties to sell to the occupying settlers.
Yet the Farmer" finds fault with that
system, because | suppose that the COWS,
the beds, the noggins, and spoons of the
poor are not precluded. Poor is the
man who does not own land. He, the
Farmer, draws smile with the correct
ness of Euclid-shews a man possessed
of riches as well as treasure, in contrast
with man who holds piece Of land.
However, the contrast is contrary to the
nature of things, as practised here; and
if the Farmer believed in such hypothe-
sis, it would not surprize me much ifhe
started his plough when the snow was
up to the beam, or his wagon when the
mud was up to the axletree.
Has not he tax law authorized the
county commissioners to impose a tag
upon all other property not enumerated +?
Are they behind much | believe little
is left without being taxeo. Something
is said about the cutting and clearing of
roads. For my part, l believe the bur-
then of that law is not so heavy as it
ought to be on the land. ] am sorry that
the constitution precludes the assembly
from imposing all taxes on lands, and
stock in trade.

debates continued to run high. The
Ilberales complain that troops have been
called our to dispense the people. M.

not before Witnessed for thirty years
Paris, he said, resembled captured ci-
Is; troops stationed in various quarters,
and posts fixed for their attendance. He
felt assured that the evaporation had
been excited by the appearance of the
regular force. On the other hand, it was
said, that the conduct Of the military had
cyhibited great moderation. The groupes
that had been dispersed were shouting
Long live the Emperor % One or two
lives had been lost. Frequent skirmish-
ings had taken place in the public places,
between groupes of Royalists and Libe-

rally canes, and sticks with ferrules, and
the wounded were numerous. Many
arrests have taken place.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
TROY, JULY H..

TROY, JULY IL.
Three years ago an instance of spon-
taneous combustion occurred in Troy.
A heap of manure, containing consider
able straw and litter from COW stable,
during the hot weather in dry summer,
actually took fire. On entering the gar
den, the owner observed smell of
smoke, and after searching on the lots,
on each side, discovered the cause of the
fire. Several loads of the manure were
removed, and thoroughly wet with water.
1t was found that several pieces Of the
manure were perfectly charred, and at
a depth of foot or more, the heat was
insupportable to the hand.
Another instance of spontaneous COM
bustion has also occurred at Troy. The
fact is related upon the veracity of re-
spectacle house painter in this city. A
few years since, this gentleman mixed a
quantity of lampblack with boiled linseed
oil, SO as to constitute thick paste, for
the purpose of adding oil to make a
black paint. This was done at evening F.;
in the morning his painting pot began to
smoke, and in few hours afterwards it
actually burst into blaze.
Another instance ofspontancous COM
bustion occurred at Albany. During the
late war, painter had painted some hun
dred knapsacks black, and piled them
together--they took fire aud were con-
sumed,

DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.
FROM THE AURORA, JUNE %.

american Jaconet MuSRn.-We have
at this moment before us piece jac0-
net muslin, of fabric so perfect in every
particular, that we may safely assert it
to be equal in every respect TO any thing
OF the kind, produced in any part of the
world.
Familiar with the finest webs of Asia,
we can confidently assert that the piece
before us is equal in beauty, evenness,
and much superior in the finishing, to
the fine mukiS of Hindostan.
This piece is the first experiment
made at the factory of Messrs. Thorp
and Siddall, of this neighborhood, yet it
will bear inspection and comparison with
any foreign production of the same NUM-
Der Of yards.
This jaconet rivals in beauty and tex
ture the lawns of Flanders, and for Graz
watts, ruflles, or fine dresses, has no SUI
perior; and we earnestly recommend
the products of these ingenious manu-
features to the notice and patronage Of
every friend of American prosperity.
