VALUABLE SEATS FOR MILLS, Or Manufactories that require a force THE Upper Appomattox Company have from their Canal, in and near Petersburg, Vir ginia, upwards of one hundred feet fall of wa ter, divided into 12, 14 and 20 feet falls. They have also the necessary Land for the scite or Mills and manufacturing houses, which they wish to let or dispose of. The subscribers, who are managers for the Company, propose to meet at Petersburg on the second Monday in April next, for the purpose of disposing of the water. It is expected that on the day fol lowing, at 12 o’clock, the managers will meet at the Bason, and let some situations to the highest bidder. The terms on which the mana gers would wish to dispose of the scites, may be more particularly known after the first of March next, by application to Daniel E. Allen, clerk for the Company, residing at Petersburg. The subscribers are disposed to give every en couragement in their power to manufactories of cotton and wool, particularly the carding and spinning of wool and the fulling of wool len cloth. There is already erected at the locks a Saw Mill and a small Grist Mill, which we propose to lease for one or more years, and which will be yery convenient to those who may be about to erect buildings at the locks, or on the cwal. To those who are unacquainted with the situation, the subscribers believe they may say, there is none more eligable in the country; situate at the head of tide water, at the market for an extensive back country, as well on the river Appomattox, as to the south and west of Petersburg and affording to this country a market 20 miles nearer than Richmond, the only rival. Tiie subscribers further state, that for the want of a sufficient number of mills at Peters burg, a large quantity of wheat is carried from the south side of Appomattox to Richmond, although the roads are much worse and the distance further than to Petersburg. And as to the convenience in making shipments of fldur, it is believed that Petersburg has every advantage which is possessed by Richmond. JOHN GRAMMER, EDWARD MUMFORD, RICHD N.

GREEKS IN FLORIDA. Jn Mr. Macon’s speech, during the late session of Congress,, wherein be spoke of the British practice of naturalization, there was an allu sion to the Greeks in Florida, which we be lieve was understood by but few of those who heard him, and fewer still of those who read the speech. The following extract from r Stoddard’s Sketches of Louisiana” will shew the circumstance to which he probably adverted. As the Floridas have often changed masters, some variety in the population may be expected. The Spaniards were the first to make permanent settlements in them. The peace of 1763 put them in possession of Great Britain, when a number of English, Scotch and Irish were incorporated with the ancient in habitants. They also received an ac cessation during the American revolu tion, when many of those disaffected to our cause obtained refuge in the Fiori das; and the proximity of our settle ments has prompted many of our citi zens since that period to become Spa nish subjects. One remarkable fact relative to the population of the Floridas must not escape notice. While these were in possession of the English, a plan was concerted to entice a colony of Greeks into the country. Sir William Duncan and Doctor Turnbull were at the bot tom of this transaction. The country was represented to the Greeks in the most fav®rable light; they were pro mised fertile fields and land in abund ance, and also transportation and sub sistence. Hence fifteen hundred souls were deluded from the islands in Greece and Italy, and landed in East Florida. They were planted at a place called New Smyrna, situated about seventy miles to the southward of St. Augus tine. But what was their surprise when, instead of cultivated fields, they were ushered intd a desolate wilderness, without the means of support! What mortified them still more was, that some of them were tantalized with the use of rented lands for ten years, at the expiration of which they reverted again to their original proprietors, when the poor settlers were once more reduced to poverty and misery. Some of them indeed could not obtain land on any terms. Hence they were obliged to labor for the planters in the character of slaves, and to experience hunger and nakedness. Overseers were placed ever them, and whenever the usual task was not completed, they were goaded with the lash. Families were not al lowed to live separate from each other; but a number of them were crowded together in one mess, and condemned to promiscuous repose. The poor wretches were not even allowed to pro cure fish for themselves, although the sea at their feet were full of them. People were forbidden to furnish them with victuals; severe punishments were decreed against those who gave, and those who received the charitable boon. Under this treatment mmy of them died, especially the old people. At length in 1769, seized with despair and sensible of no other alternative than es cape or death,they rose on their cruel tyrants, and made themselves masters of some small vessels. But their de signs were frustrated by the prompt exertions of the military and this re volt closed with the deaths of five of the unhappy ringleaders. This transaction is so contrary to the reputed humanity of the English na tion that it requires some credulity to believe the solemn report of a British officer who was an eye witness to what we have related. ANECDOTE OF DR. JOHNSON. In the Port Folio for March, 1813, is a biogr p>ica! sketch of the “Life of John Ewing, D D. late Provost of the Umv6 killed, 36 severely and 32 slightly wounded. The loss of the United States, in the same action, was but five killed and nine wounded, two of them mortally. In the action between the Wasp and the Frolic, the former had only five killed and five wounded. Capt. Whinyates, of the Frolic has not given a list of the loss on board that vessel; but we find that Capt. Jones, of the Wasp, in his letter, inserted in this paper, states, from what was seen by Lieut. Biddle, whom he put on board as prize-master, and from what that officer collected m conversation with the officers of the Frolic, that she had about 30 killed, and 40 or 50 wounded. _ The action between the Gu rri re and th* Cons itution was fought for the greatest part at a distance, and was one perhaps of superior manoeuvre rather than superior valor on the side of the Americans. Cant. Dacres surren dered on account of the disabled and sinking state of his ship, which the captors themselves were obliged to destroy the day after the en gagement. The difference of loss was, there fore, not so great in the number killed in this instance as in the two others yet here also the advantage was also on the side of the Ame ricans for we find that the Constitution had only 7. killed, and as many wounded, and the Guerrirre 15 killed, and 64 wounded. These facts are unpleasant; but bitter as the reflections they are calculated to excite must be, it is not safe that we should exclude from our minds any part of the impressions that they are naturally calculated to make for the more acute and constant the pain that thej' excite, the more certain, the more near, the more vi gorous and effectual the efforts which, we trust and are sure they will produce, to restore us to our former proud and enviable superiori ty. Above ail, we trust, that the ever memog table sentence, which we haVb already cited, will be kept in mind in every succeeding ac tion—and that every seaman in the British ser vice will recollect that England expects eve ry man to do his duty.” From the Balt. American. “It is said that the British government has ordered, that when any American privateer, which is pursued and taken, shall throw any of her guns over in the pursuit, the officer's shall not be admitted to parole or other fa vors.” The above intelligence we find in the last Salem Register. If the enemy has actually adopted so unprecedented an order as it describes, we hope that our government will retaliate by refusing to parole any British naval officer whom the fate of war may throw into their hands. It is the absolute duty of a com mander of an American private armed ship, who acts under the national autho rity, to throw over his guns, if it be ne cessary to enable him to escape when chased by a superior enemy. It is his duty, and every brave patriotic com mander will obey its dictates, to do eve ry thing in his power to prevent his vessel from being taken and if he finds that the enemy will take him, he ought to exert himself to make the prize as little valuable as possible, without sa crificing himself or his crew. We ne ver before heard these obviously cor rect principles doubted: and we trust

that no gallant American officer will be deterred by the novel and insolent threats of the enemy, from serving his country by every lawful mean in his power. His government and his coun try will see that he shall not suffer by the faithful discharge of the high obli gations of patriotism. Great Britain seems resolved on in troducing an entirely new mode of war fare among nations. Possessing an as cendancy of naval power, she presumes that she may dictate any rule of war on the ocean which may suit the fancy or caprice of her contemptible ministry. Were the novel principles which she aims to establish calculated to soften the usual rigors of war, it would be well for other nations to accede to them. But they render warfare more severe and cruel they threaten to reduce mankind to their original uncivilised and barbarous state again and there fore all enlightened nations ought to protest against their introduction. AMERICAN PRISONERS. A commercial gentleman has put into cur hands the following singular adver tisement, which he copied from a Ja maica paper. It was reserved for the deadly enemy of these states, to intro duce, among his other novelties, the practice of hiring out his prisoners of war a practice unheard of in past ages, and sanctioned by no principle of right •or justice. We imagine that not many native American seamen will be pre vailed on to assist in navigating ene my’s vessels. dmer. Port Royal, Nov 25th, 1812.

PROPOSALS BY JAMES WEBSTER, of Philadelphia and JAMES WARRELL, of Richmond, For Publishing by Subscription, A PRINT, Representing Peter Francisco’s gal lant action with nine of Tarleton’s Cavalry, in sight of the whole Troop of 400 men. FROM AN ORIGINAL PICTURE, By JAMES WARRELL, Associate of the Society of Artists of the United Slates,—From the details given by FRANCISCO HIMSELF. The scene represented took place in Amelia county, Virginia, in 1781. Francisco had been reconnoitering, and whilst stopping at a Mr. Ward’s, there came up nine of Tarleton’s caval ry and two or three negroes; being told he was a prisoner, and seeing himself overpower ed by numbers, he consented to it, and suppos ing him very peaceable, they all went to the house, leaving the pay-master and Francisco t ogether—He demanded his watch, &c. which having received, he, in order to secure his plunder, put his sword under his arm, with •he hilt behind him. While in the act of putting away a silver buckle, findng he had so favora ble rn opportunity Francisco stepped one pace in his rear, drew the sword with force from under the paymaster’s arm with success, and gave him instantly a blow across the scull. My enemy,’’ observes Francisco, was brave, and, though severely wounded, drew a pistol, and at the same moment he pulled the igger, I cut his hai- d nearly off The bul let grazed my side Ben. Ward (the man of the House) very ungenerously brought out a a musket, and gave it to one of the British told him to make use of that. He mounted the only horse they could get and presented it at my breast—lt missed fire—l rushed on the muzzle of the gun— a short struggle ensued— C the painter has copied this moment fi —I disarm d a^d wounded him— Tarleton s troop of 400 men were in sight. All was hurry and confusion, wh ch T increased by repeatedly hodowing, as loud I could, Come on, my brave boys i note's your time we will soon dispatch these few, and then attack the mam body:" The wounded man flew to the troop, the seven were panic struck an fled. 1 seized Ward and would have dispatched him, but the poor wretch begged for his life--he was not only an ob ject of my contempt but pity. The eight hoi-p ses that were left behind, I gave him to con ceal for me. Discovering that Tarleton had dispatched ten more in pursuit o: me, Imade off I evaded their vigilance. They stopped to refresh themselves. I, like an old fox, dou bled and fell on their rear I went the next day to Ward for my horses he demand ed two for his trouble and generous intentions. Finding my situation dangerous, and surround ed by enemies where I ought to have found friends, 1 went off with my six horses. I in tended to have avenged myself of Ward at a future day, but Providence ordain ed I should not be his executioner for he broke his neck ty a fall from one of the very horses.” CONDITIONS The proposed Print shai be engraved in the best style, by one of the first Artists in the United States.
