Porcupine's Gazette.
Proposals by WILLIAM COBBETT, opposite Christ
CHurch, Philadelphia, for publishing a news-paper,
to be entitled
Porcupine's Gazette, <sf Daily Advertiser.
Methinks 1 hear the reader exclaim ; " Whaj ! ha*e
vit not Gazettes enough already !" Yes, and far too F c
n-.any : but those that we have, are, in general, con
duced in such a manner that their great number, in
fteadof rendering mine unneeeffary, is the only cause
that ctlls for its establishment.
The gazettes in this country have done it more realm
jury than all its open enemies ever did or can do. They
mislead the people at home and misrepresent them a
broad. It was these vehicles of sedition and discord
that encouraged the counties in the Welt to rebel ; it
was they that gave rife to the depredations of Britain,
by exerting the people to such atfts of violence against
that nation, as left no room to doubt that we were de
termined on war ; and it was they, when an accom
modation had been happily effeiSled, that flirred up an
eppofition to it such as has seldom been witnessed, and
■which was overcome by mere chance. These gazettes
it was, that, by mifrcprefenting the dispositions of the
people, encouraged the French to proceed from one
degree of insolence to another, till at last their Minis
ter braves th« Prefideot in his chair, and a bullying
commander comes and tells us that his only business is
to seize our vessels, in violation of a treaty,, in virtue
of which alone he claims a right! to enter our parts : and ™
it \i these gazettes that now have the impudence to de-
fend what their falfehood and malice have produced. of
I (ball be told that the people are -to blame ; that
they are not obliged to read these abominable publica
tions. But they jo read them j and thousands who J
read them, read nothing else. To fupprjfs them is im- J
pofliWe j they will vomit forth thejr poiion ; it is a pri- S<
vilege of their natures, that no law can abridge ; and
therefore the only mode left is, to counteraA its effects.
This must be dose, too, in theirown way. Books, at
or periodical publications 'in the form of books, may
be of some service, but are by no means a match for j"
their flying folios. \ falfeboori that remains uncontra- *■
difted for a month, begins to be looked upon as a truth,
and when the dete&ion at last makes its appearance, it
is often as useless as that of the doctor who finds his
patient expired. The only method of pppofition, then,
ie to meet them on their own ground ; to set foot to
foot ; dispute every, inch and every hair's breadth;
fight them at their own weaponsj and return them two
blows for one' , r-
A gazette of this (lamp is what I have long wilhed to
fee, but I have wished and «xpe<3ed it in vain. Indig-
nation at the fupinenefs of others has at last got th?
better of all diffuUnce in my own capacity, and has dc-
termined me to encounter the talk. People have heard b(
■one fide long enough ; tliffy (hall now hear the other. r j

pahanock river, opposite thfc town of Froderickftiurg, La
the Hate of Virginia, confiluug of elev-n or fifteen hun
dred acres, as may best fait the purchaser. There is on
this estate, a large and well built brick house, containng
nine commodious rooui*, exelufive ol a spacious hall or en
try, 22 feet Cquarc, two pair of stairs, suitable andconven.
icnt pilTagts, aud excellent dry cellars. It is placed on a
fine heelthy eminence, commanding beautiful views in
every direction over the towns «f Fredcrickfbi rgh and
Falmouth, and an extensiVe cultivated country.—The
grounds adjoining the house are neatly laid out in pleas
ure snd kitchen gardens interspersed with a variety of
fearce tr cs, a choice colleftiojj of Sowers aHd flowering
Ihrubs, and enriched by various forts of the following
fruits, viz apples, pears, walnuts, chefnuts, eherries.peach
•c, plumbs, nectarines, apricot., grapes, figs, lafberries,
goofeberries.ftrawberrjes,and currants; the whale admi
rably varied by turfed Hopes which have bean formed by
great labour and expence. Bordering up«n thele im
provements, are several lots, in a higk {late of cultivation,
and well set with red clover and orchard grass, from
Which three heavy crops of hay are taken every year. Ad
jacent thereto are two large and flourifhing orchards; one
of well chosen peach trees, the other of apple and pear.
trees, fele&edfrom the best nur-feries in the state. Pro
perly detached from the mansion house are extenfiva
roomy offices of every denomination, viz. a Kitchen and
Larder, house-keeper's room and Laundry, with a cellar
underneath for a variety-os purposes; a ftore-toufe aad
invoke house allof brick, a dairy and spring houf« of ftdne.
Stables for thirty horses, and coach houses for four car
riages. Alio a large and well planned farm yard, v ith
barn and granary, a cow house, with separate jftalls for
thirty-fix groyvn cattle; apartments for fattening veals,
muttons and lambs ; extensive Iheds for fhecp, and other
arrangements for stock of i vory description, with a large
j and convenient receivable for provender, from which they
can be furnifhed withoiit being expQfed to the inclemency
of the weather. An overfeer'a house, blacklmith's stop,
j and quarters fufficient to accommodate in the best man
ner more than fifty labourers.
The arable lands are f« advantageously divided asts as
, ford an opportunity of leaking a large quantity of ludian
corn annually, withouc bringing the field into (iniiiar cul
ture oitner than once in four years; consequently the
lands may be improved by keeping up the inclofure* during <
the intermediate years, or may bp beneficially fallowed for
wheat and other grain ?t the option of the proprietor.
' On the prcmifes there is alio ja merchant mill with one
pair of best French burr ltor.es, and one pair of Cologne;
* furnifhed with modern machinery, and now leafed for the
unexpired term ol four years, at I jol per annum, and all
p grain for the use of the farm, hoppcrfree, which is near
" lyiool. more. Flu mill and miller'shoufe are built of
" free stone, within a very small distance of navigation,near
- to which are two or more valuable lilhcries, and a weij
accustomed ferry over the Rappahannock to the town of
I Fredericklbutg. i'he land con tains inexhaui'tible quarries
'■ of free stone near to the river, is plentifully supplied with
remarkable fine water and poflfeffes a due proportion of
J meadow, which by having the command of water may
be csnfiderably iacreafed- The roads are good, and the
neighbourhood genteel *ndfociable. InfaS, exclofiveof
