i bis friends and the public that he has
taken that large and well known tavern
establishment, known by the name of the
UNION TAVE RN,
in Georgetown, a few minutes walk only
from the Presidents House and the pub
Offices. He will be provided with the
best of liquors. bedding, slabling. anc in
short, with every thing necessary for the
convenient and comfortable accommoda-
ton of travellers, and for permanent and
transient boarders. Private families OF
members of Congress and others can, at
all times, be furnished with private, com
Portable and well furnished rooms, with
good and faithful servants to attend upon
them. There is, perhaps, no house Of
public entertainment in this country better
calculated for the purpose than this, and
none, it may be safely affirmed, IN this
District at all equal to it. The house is
now undergoing some improvements, and
will in the course OF few days, be ready
for the reception Of company. There are
four or five lines of stages which run to
and from this house daily; and there is an
excellent well constructed steam boat
which plies every day between George
town and Alexandria.
The subscriber who lately kept the tav-
erD at Rossburgh, near Bladensburgh,
deems it unnecessary here 10 make dis
play Of promises for giving satisfaction to
those who may think fit to favor him with
their custom; but this much he will say.
that no exertions on his part, shall be
wanting, to give general satisfaction, and
he does hope that from his experience in
this line OF business, and his general dis
position TO please, to enjoy full share OF
public patronage. His charges too, shall
be regulated by the present and increasing
appreciation OF money; so that his custo-
mels may expect not only the best accom-.
dations, but reasonable bills also.
