PROPOSALS
From tl/"- Pbanix Company f Cottdon
For insuring h .uses, Wildings, stores, ships innar-
bor, goods, wares and merchandize,
PROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FiRM.
Insurance from loss or damage by fire hath been
found a measure of great twiportauce to the happi-
ness df families, and lias given additional security to
commercial nun actions. The distinguished ap-
probation with which the public through at Great-
Britain received the improved s) stem of this office^
occasioned (requeue application for the insurance ot
property in the principal cities and towns in Eu-
rope and America, and induced the company ma-
ny years since to extend their plan to the continent,
of Europe and America, and to the West-India
islands. The Phoenix Company can refer to the
unerring test of experience to ascertain their cha-
racter ; and, gratified by the unbounded confidence
they have obtained, and for the purpose off'acilita-
ing to the inhabitants the means of effecting insur-
ance on their pr-sperty, the directors have lately de-
termined to extend the sum which th.y have been
accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have
arranged rates of premium upon the various des-
criptions of pr< petty, which, they trust, will be
tound moderate, just and equitable. The prompti-
fude with which this office has adjusted me claims
of sufferers, and the solidity ofics lands, are so well
known, tha „ it is unnecessary to offer more on the
subject, that- to refer those who desire information,
to the merchants of London, with whom they cor-
respond.
g-jp In this office, no insured person is liable to
any call to make good the losses of others :• bur. in
case of fire, the sufferer will he lully indemnified
by the company. The company also make good
Issscs on property burnt by lightning.
RATES OF ANNUAL PREVJIUMS
To. be paid for Aaurancc against Fire.
No. I.
Hazards of the Fint Class, viz.
Brick or Stone Buildings, covered with Tiles,
Siare or Metal.
Furniture or Verchandize not hazardous, con-
tained in such buildings.
For sums riot txcetding 0,000 e of Fire, th; sufferer will be folly
inAenui tied with that liberality and prompt-
ness which have :.\t ays digtwguislied this
company ; requiring no other delay (even
¦where presumption of fraud appears) than is
necessary to distinguish the honest sufferer
from the fraudulent incendiary.
As a proof of the usefulness of this institu-
tion and the btmefit that individuals have de-
rived from it, it is only necessary 1-. state, that
sinca the commencement of the Office, in 1782,
near sevek millions or. dollars have been
paid to claimants upon their policies.
The fiiUmvixg is published for thein/armaiioa of
those'laho reside at a distante'.

Valuable Property for Sate, j

A TRACI'of LAND, s'"tu>ite in the county I

Virginia, on ' sevri.d oi which lots buildings
hav« been ere- ted. be. On one acre thereof,
near the con *-oouse, is a large two story brick
House, rent* 1 and occupied as a tavern, toge-
ther with large stables, kitchen, and house for
the reti'ement oi a faiioty, he. Perhaps there
is no -ituatitm between the eastern and west-
ern waters more public, or that affords better
stands lor taverns, stores, mechanics, &c. par.
ticuTariyto an inn keeper-, calculated to act on
i scale. The Little River turnpike
paved road, leading- from Alexandria to the
westward, passes immediately at this place,
as also the main pub ic and post roads leading
to and from Alexandria, Georgetown, the city
of Washington, Baltimore, and the Western
country—distance from Alexandria 14, and
from the city of Washington 15 or 16 miles.
To accommodate a purchaser or purchasers,
I would dispose of tne property at this place,
or any part thereof, separate froiti the other
lands. The annual rent of the small part now
improved, is near eight hundred dollars, and
at little additional expence would products
from one thousand dollars to twelve hundred
dollars per annum, exclusive of tots thai might
be sold or rented on ground-rent; and I would
divide the land in two or three parts to suit
purchasers On that part occupied by myself,
are a comfortable dwelling-house, sufficient
for the accommodation of a large family, with
barn, stables, and either convenient out-houses,
orchards, &c Ae it is presumed a person dis-
posed to purchase would first view the prcmi
ses, a further description is thought unne-
cessary.
A small piece of Land within one and a half
miles of the court house, situate on Accotink
Hun, containing 19 acres, mostly rich and valu-
able, grassland, which affords a tolerable mill
seat, and was purchased with a view of erect-
ing one thereon, the timber for which (of ex-
cellent quality) hath been cut and squared.
A Lot in the town of Alexandria, with a two
story brick house, kitchen and stable thereon,
situate near the centre thereof; and
About lriOO acres of Land, situate on the
wan rs of Licking, in the county of Bourbon,
and state of Kentucky. This land is i lassed
aS si cond rate, is rich, lies well, and h\ judges
of that country said to be worth from live dol-
lars to eight dollars per acre, and on which
are several small settlements.
For the property in Fairfax and Alexandria,
indisputable titles will be made; the tile to
the Kentucky land is thought to be good, an
investigation on thai, subject having latelytaken
place, and is patented in my ow i na.oe. No-
thing- short of a strong desire to pr vide for a
large and growingfami'y, should induce me to
offer this property or sale !'y terms will he
suchascainot fail to accommodate a purchaser,
as but a small portion will be required in h .nd,
and on securing the balances satisfac only, to
meet arrangements which in such cases 1 wish
to make, lengthy credit's will be gi'vei. 1 would
