This place is bounded southerly for near a mile on the river Raritan, where it empties into the bay about 18 miles from Sandy- Hook, and affords two most agreeable situations for Gentlemen*' Seats. There arc now on it, two brick houses, with gardens, and a good collection of fruit trees of the best kinds. The land is Very fertile, and a great part of it very good meadow ; and from its situ 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 flats before the doors. It is a delightful, "healthy situation, capable of genteel and tafly improve ments; and as Pcrth-Amboy is one of the best sea-ports in the United States, and within 18 miles of the sea, the profpett of its increasing in value from that circumstance, is by no means incon siderable. There wiP also be fold, other Lots, within the bounds of the city, and about Five Hundred Acres of Land on the opposite fide of the river Raritan—part of which is improved by a farm—on which there is a framed dwelling-house and bam, 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 wooded and timbered, and very convenient for supplying New- York and other markets with fire-wood, timber for Ihip build ing, and other uses, the transportation by water being cafy and fafe.

The great 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 water, •with a very convenient ftableand cach-houfe, will greatly leflen the cxpence of pulling the place in order for the refidcnce of a Gentleman.—There are tew situations so eligible, particularly in the summer season—when the cool sea breezes, and the elevated situations, render them placcs of pleasing retreat, from the confine ment and sultry air of the southern states and neighbouring citics Pcrth-Amboy, Feb. 1,5,1792.

The farm is divided by the main ftieet leading,from Trenton to Lambeuon. and Philadelphia, into two parts, nearly equal in quantity ; the eaftwardly pan being arable land, is Idid off in convenient fields, and in good farming order. The other part, bounded by the said street on the east, and by the river 11 the weft, forms a square; which, from the combined effect of fili ation and improvement, is generally allowed to be one of the moH beautiful and desirable feats in the (late. The manlion-houfe is a handsome, well-finifhed brick building, 50 by 40, containing four rooms on each floor, with excellent cellars, and a two/fory brick kitchen ; and commanding a very extensive and pieafing view of the river, both above and below, as well as including the falls, and al-fo of Trenton and the neighbouring feats and improvements oa both (ides of the river.

The ground is properly divided into final fields, all well watered, highly improved, and chiefly under the molt approved grass. This Iqnare has produced annual!), for *- vera! years past, upwards of lixty tons of the best hay, bf • supporting through the summer season twenty to thiriy horn cattle, and eight or ten horses. It contains also two bearing or chards of good fruit. The river abounds, in the proper (en jus, with great plenty of all kinds of fifh usually found in Irein water in this climate, and with a variety of wild-fowl; both of wn.i» may afford a pieafing amufemenlto the sportsman, as wei 2s a convenient addition to the elegance and variety of hi& tab c. * whole of the land, except the wood-land, is inclosed and ivi < bv good fences, great part of which is formed of red ceaar po % and rails of chefnut and white cedar.
