THE roir.v OF CLINTON TllL undersigned respectful, y inform their friends and the public, that tney have I dd out anew town on the Western bank of the Wabash, 10 or 11 niiit s above Fort-Harrison, and 1 3 or U above rerrc Haute, and intend Offering their lots for sale at Public Auction on the first day of eptember next The scitQ ol this town may be closed with those of the most b autiful on the hanks of the Wabash, (and souk a hat resembles that of Fort-Harrison,) rising gradually from the river, for about 0 yards to the height Of from 4)to 50 feet above hieh watermark, and is terminated itna horizontal plain of half a mile in width. No town on the Wabash ean boast of a more delightful view of the river, abetter landing and harbour lor boats ooth In time of ice, and at every Stage of water. The adjacent country is irery fertile Baa every appearance 0f being heaithy, and abounds Mtii streams of excellent water; some ot teem afford good mill SCItcs,on U i h ii is expected one or two mills will be erected the present season Stone ot several kinds hac been found in the adjacent hills; the most common are granite, lime, and freestone. Iron ore, snd Stone oalo, has alfpbeea discovered ; the latter in Kr't-at abundance, but has not as yet been much soUght after. The settlement in the vicinity of this piace is yet in iis infant! y, owing in a great measure to the want of Mills and some little disturbances with the Indians, since the termination ot tne V'ar It is however increasing very last and soon will be able to surmount these difficulties, and should the emigration to this country be ccpial to w .at is anticipated, this part of the country will soon become very populous There is no other scite for a town on the western bnk of the Wabash from the boundary lii.e to near the center of the elev nth township a space of about 30 miles ; this circumstance together with the fertility of the soil, for a great distance, westwardly of the river ; and the prospect of a populous settlement, render this place a onject worthy the attention of those who may wish to become purchasers of :o .n property. A few lots are set apart by the proprietors, and arc intended to be given as dona ions to individuals who may wish to become actual settlers previous to the day of sale.
