T Public Vend;;e, on Monday the 13d of
-T\> September next, at x o'clock, P. M. at
thcboulc of rhe Sobl'criber,' li*ing in th< town
of State ot Delaware, a number
of valuable
LOTS,
suitable for building on, being the South square
I of the flourilhing town of New-Castle afore
faid, diflant from Philadelphia thirty-three
miles.
I his valuable property it highly capable of
improvement, beiwg inmjffljliately on the ricer
Delaware, having a i)um|er of wharf lots on
M; and from ihe depsh of the water (earth
and materials for whaaflng being ealily procu
red) there is no dotrot but wharves would
bring a handfotnefctcrcrt.
I his propajty confiits cf five acres tnore or
less, in one bjfcy ; lays.high, and is divided in
to lots to fu/T every difcnption of persons.
New-Castle is one of the molt healthy and
flcurilhing towns un the continent ; and from
theincreafe of trade it has raised property to
four times the value it was seven years pall.—
The number of veflels bound out and irf, which
flop for lupplies of flock, &c. &c. and the'
whole carriage of goods between Philadelphia
and Baltimore, is now through this plaie. The
packets'and stages from the afurefaid cities, &c
---4c. make it very lively: thers is not, at this
trme, oat house to be rented in the place ;
and the number of applications for houses make
it an object for persons to improve. There arc
a number of elegant and ufeful buildings now
going on, a Public Academy and feverai private
Schools. Ihe malignant Fever hasnever made
ar.y progress, and the Ague scarcely kn. wn j
the number of children in this place is a convin
cing preof of the healthinef. of it. The piof
pedt of the river Delawrre, upaad down is de
lightful ; as far as the eye can diitinguiifh
you may view the veflels in different attitudes
There is reason to suppose that public piers for
the Navy will be built here, as veflels can fail
from this plac# when the river is faft at Phi
ladelphia.
1 he conditions of Tale will be easy and made
known on the day of sale. Places of public
worlhip, market and mills are very contiguous

IN all countries, the proceeding, in the com
met,cement of their governments, are loft in dark
refs and obfeunty, owing to a carelessness, in the
fucceedmg generation, to pref&ve the public re
cord», and the |<ttf nrionof the nation, in thafende
to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite*
value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been
tranfmittud to our days ? Time, that destroys
every thing, enhances this value of well authfnti
csted public record-,-and renders them almost in*
ell-.mable. It i- hoped, that Americans will, there
fote, chearftilly contribute their afliflancc in trans
mitting to polli-rity the labours of their anceflori
—founders'of the Colombian nation.
The work will certainly be advanced with
expedition and promptitude. The following will

" t'l.at having, in ourrefpe&ive avocations,
frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con.
grefs, we experience inconvenience by the fcarci
ly of them : That we understand that Richard
Foiwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in
contemplation to print that public record; and
that he hath obtained partial countenance from ma.
Ny individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu
ting the work, in expedlatkm of encouragement
fram government, that may adequately indemnity
him. We, Therefore, refpeSfnlly l'olicit, as the
publication is nucefTary to be difieminated amonj
public bodies, that Congress will, in theirwifdoni,
render him such additional encouragement, to thjt
which he has obtained from private individuals
as to enable him toprcceed with the work,fo that
your Memorialifls may be enabled to purchase co
pies of that record for themselves.
