River, sboot IJ miles from the city of Rich
mond, and ntlrly the fame difttnce from Pe
ter lfeurg- .
There U about ~ acres oF land, and the
whole of it g<'«d foil for agriculture, and a full
proportiui of it very tollable for grass; about
one half of it is cleared and in a Rate fit for im
mediate cultivation; tfce reft Is in wood, and
well roveied with ufeftil timber of different
kinds. As to the improvement* on the farm,
there it a decent dwelling hoofe with the ulual.
oat liojlftj, a good brick spring hnul'e, and a
large new excellent barn# one story of hrn.k,
I and the *tk#r framed work, two orchards of
applet and of peaches in full perf»-aion and
go-id fruit.
The milll consist of tbree pair ml bur stones
for the grinding of wheat, and one pair of
stones for gri«d>ng of corn, all of proved good
quality, vx rked by overlhot water wheels and
double gears, with all the late improvements
for flcreenir.g, cleaning, bolting an 4 tlivating
the wheat and Sour, all executed in the b«ft
manner and of the bed materials and quite iiew
—The mill house 'n large and convenient, be
ing 46 feet by ya feet with fi»e (lonrs, the two
lower stories are brick, the reft framed work
executed in the most substantial manner; the
house and machinery of the milla will be found
unexceptionable, and they are lo (ltuated »» to
be free from *ll risque from the treftes or inun
dation of the water courses—There is a very
convenient briek bake houfo two stories high,
with two large oveas; a very good lioufe for
the proprietoi or manager, a (lore room, coun
ting room, kitchen, &c. alio suitable bouses
for milleri, enopers, and bakers — The tide

the mill, and in one miles dittance, flupj of
any 6m that navigate James River, can load in

The neighborhood is healthy—very refpefl
able as tainhabitants, being raoflly independent
farmers, and the foil is in ;;-eneril very justly
eltccmed equal to any on James River, for the |
growing ot wheit; upon a moderate calcula
tion, the average* annual crops of the neighbor
hoed eqially convenient if not more so, to the
Norwich Mills, than to any other market, a
mount to between thirty and forty thoufjnd
bushels of wheat. Mr. John P. Gordm who
lives on the preimfe* at present, will fbew the
whole to thoft who may incline to view it.
1 would prefer a purchaser who could pay
down the principal part of the ptsrttufc- money,
a .d wonld give a vtsy advantageous bargain
or I will fell on a credit convenient to the pur
chaser, the interest being paid annually. I will
wait for a purchaser til", the 15th day of March
next, and if not then fold, I will be glad to
treat with a tenant fir a lease, on terms which
may be mutually agreeable. I bav* «ffered the
whole of tbii estate for I'ale, on a prrfumption
that the purchaser of the milU would inclin* to
have the land also, for a supply of building
timber, oven wood ana hnrp pole!,' Hut if it

th t the French conlcripts, carried, as he
said by force and chained to the amy fought

If the French people in that fituatian, and
