in Georgetown, few minutes walk only
from the Presidents House and the pub
Offices. He will be provided With the
best of liquors, bedding, stabling. anc in
short, with every thing necessary for the
convenient and comfortable accommooa-
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 Ola 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 Alexandra.
The subscriber who lately kept the tav-
erp at Rossburgh, near Bladensburgh,

play of promises for giving satisfaction to

he does hope that from his experience in

position TO please, to enjoy full share OF

be regulated by the present and increasing
appreciation of money; so that his custo-

and stated that he had no wish to take money out Of
the pockets of the pnterstbat they should not suffer
by any contract with the government, &c.
Mr.. Bradbury made some reply upon the subject de-
claring himself TO be unacquanted with the subject
and acquiescing the proposal that the papers should
