Der of the Baltimore Advertiser, print
ed on Friday, August 10th, l77S. A
head line announces that il "contains the
latest advices, both foreign and domestic"
Its London news is OF dates 18th TO 10Th
of June; its New York news Aug. II,
and Philadelphia Aug. IL. We take
from the advertiser the following mar
riage notice:
"MARRIED-Mr. Englehart Yeiser to
Miss Catharlne Keener, both of this
place.
"By a late Marriage in st. Mary's,
the Lady is become Sister-in-law to her
own Mother, and the Gentleman Son.in-
law to his Sister-in.lsw.'
This item of news:
"The form of government of the new
Province on the Ohio is received at Phil.
sdelphia; and the whole business rela-
tive to it will be finished by the July
Packet
GEn.GE WASHINGTON, announces in
An advertisement dated "Mt. Vernon
IN Vlrg;eia, July Is, l773," that he has
obtained Patents for upwards
of twenty thousand acres OF
land on the Ohio and Great
Kanawha," and he proposes to divide
the same into apy sized tenements that
may be desired, and lease them upon
moderate terms, allowing reasonable
number of years rent free, provided,
within two years from next October,
three acres for every fifty contained in
each lot, shall be cleared, fenced and
titled; and that by or before the time
limited for the commencement OF the first
rent, live acres for every hundred shall
be cleared and laid down in good grass
for meadows; and moyerover that at
least fifty good fruit trees for every like
quantity of land shall be planted on the
premises"
The closing paragraph of WASHING
TONS advertisement is so hopeful, we
print it in full:
As these lands are among the first
which have been surveyed in the part of
the country they lie IN, 1t is almost need
less to promise that none can exceed them
in luxuriance of soil, or convenience of
situation, all Of them lying up the banks
either of the Ohio or ksnhswa, and
abounding with fine fish and wild fowl
of various kinds, as also IN most excellent
meadows many of which (by the bounti-
tul hand of nature) are, in their present
state, almost fit for the scythe. From
every part of these lands water carriage
is now had to Fort Pitt, by an easy COM
munication; and from Fort Pitt, up the
Monongshela,. 10 RedStone, vessels OF
convenient burthen, may and do pass
continually; from whence, by means OF
Cheat River, and other navigable branch
es of the Monongahela, il is thought the
portage to Potowmack may, and will be
reduced within the compass of few
miles, to the great ease and convenience
Of the settlers in transporting the produce
of their lands to market. To which may
be added, that as patents have now actu-
aly passed the seals for the several tracts
here offered to be leased, settlers on them
may cultivate and enjoy the lands in
peace and safety, Notwithstanding the
unsettled counsels respecting new colo
nv on the Ohio; and rs no right money
is to be paid for these lands, and quitrent
of two shillings sterling hundred, de-
msndable some years hence only, 1t is
highly presumable that they will always
be held upon more desirable footing
than where both these are laid on with
very heavy hand. And it may not be
amiss further to observe, that If the
scheme for establishing a new govern
ment on the Ohio, in the manner talked
OF, should ever be affected, these must be
among the most valuable lands in 1t, not
only on account of the goodness of soil,
and the other advantages above enumer-
sted, but from their contiguity to the seat
of government, which more than probs-
BILE will be fixed ut the mouth OF the
Great Ksnha~a.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
This paper contains "a list of letters
left at Mr.. WILLIAM ADAMS, in Balti-
more, by the Frederick Town Post"
which looks rs if there WAS not at that
time any regular established postoffice in
Baltimore.
Among the advertisements, we find
"Anthony Fortune, at the Fountain and
Three Tuns, in Chestnut street, between
Second and Third streets, Philadelphs,"
begging leave to inform the public that
he has now opened large and commo-
dious passage from Chestnut to Market
streets, by way of Elbow Lane, sufficient
for carriages ot AIRY kind to drive up
into his yard"
There are many curious things in this
curious old paper which We have not
now room To notice.
