This place is bounded southerly for near a mile on the river Raruan, where it empties into the bay about 18 miles from Sandy- Hook, and affords two moll agreeable situations for Gentlemeus' Seats. There are now on it, two brick houses, wth gardens, and a good colle&ion of fruit Trees of the best kinds. The land is very fertiJe, and a great part ot it very good meadow ; and from its (itu ation on the river, has the advantage of fifh of different kinds, in their seasons, particularly of oysters and chicken clams, which may be picked in great plenty on the fljts before the doors. It is a delightful, healthy situation, capable of genteel and tasty improve ments; and as Pirth-Amboy is one of the best sea-ports in the United States, and within i 3 miles of the sea, the profpett ot its '"ncreafing in value from that circumstance, is by no m-:ans incon siderable. There wil' also be fold, other Lots, within the bound"? of the city, and about Five Hundred Acre* of Land on the opposite fide of the river RaTitan—part of which is improved by a farm—on which there is a framed dwelling-house and barn, with an orchard of grafted apple trees, and will contain about one hundred and fifty acres ; the remainder will be fold in convenient lots, well vooded and timbered, and verv convenient for supplying New- York and other markers with fire-wood, timber tor ibip build ing, and other uses, the transportation by water being easy and fafr. The conditions will be made known at the day of sale, and the lequiftre conveyances m<;de by Irvwrs mn' R a " d I Truilccs to th- said Eft»tr. BOWES REED, > Likewise to be SOLD, at the Jnme time and place, ELEVEN ACRES of LAND, adjoining the above, the pro perty of the Proprietors of E;ift New-Jersey, wheiecn the pro prietary house lately stood. The eleg.int situation of this spot is hardly to be equalled; it affords a grand profpeft of Raritan Bay, and of the Bay formed by the waters of Raritan and Hud son's rivers, where th«y disembogue into the sea to the East—and a most delightfnl one of the ferpenrne course of the Raritan river, for several miles, through a rich tract of meadow to the Weft. The gTeat quantity of stone neatly dressed, and brick, the remains of the house lately burned, will be nearly fufficient for a new building; and a large stone cistern, and well of.excellent w*trr, with a very convenient stable and coach-house, will greatly lessen the expence of putting the place in order for the residence of a Gentleman.—There are tew situations so eligible, particularly »ru the summer season—when the cool sea breezes, and fUvated situations, render them places of pleasing retreat, from the confine ment and sultry air of the southern states and neighbouring cities.
