There are other places at which, like feme of the foregoing, the lazvs have faid there fhall be towns; but Nature has faid there fliall not, and they remain unworthy of enumeration. Norfolk will probably be the emporium for all the trade of the Che- fapeak bay and its waters; and a canal of 8 or lo miles will bring to it all that of Albemarle found and its waters. Second- ary to this place, are the towns at the head of the tide waters, to wit, Peterf- burgh on Appomattox. Richmond on James river. Newcaftle on York river.
Alexandria on Patowmac, and Baltimore on Patapfco. From thefe the diftribution will be to fubordinate fituations in the country. Accidental circum fiances how-^ ever may controul the indications of na- ture, and in no inftances do they do it more frequently than in the rife and fall of towns.
