There is on this estate, a large and well built brick house, containng nine commodious rooms, exclusive of a spacious hall or en try, 22 feet fyvarc, two pair of flairs, suitable and conven ient pillages, and excellent dry cellars.

An overseer's house, blacksmith's shop, and quarters fufficient to accommodate in the best man ner more than fifty labourers. The arable lands are f« advantageously divided as to af ford an opportunity of making a large quantity of Indian corn annually, without bringing the field into similar cul ture oftner than once in four years; consequently the 'lands may be improved by keeping up the inclofures during the intermediate years, or may be beneficially fallowed for wheat and other grain at the option of the proprietor. On *he prcmifes there is also a merchawt mill with one pair of best French burr i tones, and one pair of Cologne ; furnifhed with modern machinery, and now leafed for the unexpired term ol four years, at 1501 per annum, and all grain for the use of the farm, hopper free, which is near ly iool. more.

The land co n tain- inexhaustible quarries of free stone near to the river, is plentifully supplied with remarkable fine water and pofTeffes a due proportion of meadow, which by having the command of water may be considerably increased. The roads are good, and the neighbourhood genteel and sociable. In fa&, exclusive of an improveable and well conditioned farm, the value and emolument inseparably conne&ed witn a mill, ferries, fiflieries and quarries eligibly situated ; the profits arising from an ice-house inferior to none in the state, and a gar den of four acres so abundantly stocked with vegetables of£all forts as to Jbe fully equal to the demand in market, th-re might be detailed many other advantages, [ taining to the fertility of these lands, which the fubferiber conceives it unnecessary to mention, being fully convinced that when examined, it will be found to be a complete, pleasant and healthy residence, po fie fling beauties and' conveniences fufficient to attra<ft the attention of any per son defirousof becoming a purchal'fer. | The motive which induces the fubferiber to offer for sale an estate so Angularly beautiful and advantageous, is a desire to become an inhabitant of Alexandria, where he can with more ease attend to his interests in the neigh bourhood of that /city. The purchaser may foe accommodated with a few slaves in families, either for plantation or domestic use. A part of the purchafc money will be required and the balance made easy, the debt being properly secured. WILLIAM FITZHUGH. Chatham, (Virg.) Dec. i£, 1796. xith—ftawzm. By Authority.

THE reputation of this work is already well efta* blifhed in Europe—lt is hardly necefTary for an Ame rican editor to fay more than barely to mention, that the Enquiry concerning Political Justice has ever since its publication been a favorite performance' with the friends of republican government. The fti'e is pure, nervous, and claflical; the ideas are strongly marked by an or iginal vein of thinking ; and, amongst a multitude of other just and striking paflages, the author's delineation of the peculiar infelicities insepa rable from the condition of a King, may be pointed out as a most mafterlv specimen of philosophical drf quifition.

PROSPECTUS of the WORK. I. Besides the usual selection ot intelligence, foreign aad domdlic, The DAILY ADVERTISER will be en riched with such other articles as may tend to the im provement and extension of our commerce, agriculture, manufactures, arts and fcienees, &C &c. nor lhall tha less profitable, though highly pleaiing wallts of poute literature, be wholly unfrequented ; as its pages will occasionally be variegated and enliv ned from the stores ef history, travel, biography, anecdote, &<*. as well as the lighter effufions of sentiment, wit, humour, and pleasantry, in prose and verse 11. The DAILY ADVERTISER will be open for candid and liberal dilcuflion, oa both fides of every po litical question which may interefl the public mind. It will likewise contain such extra&s from party papers and pamphlets, on t?oth {ides, as mayferve to develop the plans and conda«sfc cf each—This part of the general dc lign, should it even fail of effecting its jJrime object, that ot lessening the fervor of political zeal, will, at least, diileminate that general knowledge of the bed interefls of society and the public weal, so eflential to every citi zen of a free and enlightened country. 111. The DAILY ADVERTISER will contain a full and regularly digested MARINE LIST formed upon the* plan of the London LLOYD's LIST, and a varie yof o ther commercial intelligence; so that the menantile read er may obtain at a fi»gle glance that information which he has hitherto been obliged, and often in vain, to seek thro'a large confufed mass of miscellaneous matter. IV. The pagqsVif this paper will be numbered, and the Subscribers furnifhed yearly, with A COMPLETE AND COPIOUS INDEX.—This part of the plan, which will be faithfully executed, must render a volume of thefa papers of more ( value than the original fubfeription. Thus have the Editors briefly fkerehed out the LEAD ING FEA TURKS \yhich shall mark their intended pub lication, to which they solicit a {hare of that publi# pa tronage and encouragement without which the most ju dicious plan and,the greatest exertions must become e qually abortive and unprofitable. To deserve that support which they now solicit, they will leave nothing uneffayed which may be compared by the most unremitted industry and liberal expenditure. CONDITIONS OF PUBLICATION. Is.
