On Wednesday evening arrived the
Packet le Courier de New-York, com
manded by Captain Joubert, from France.
The Marquis de la Fayette was a passenger
in this ffiip.—This extraordinary character,
after a course of brilliant and ufeful services
in the American army, has, we are in
formed, for some time past, been assidu
ously employed in promoting the American
cause and interests in Europe, where his
influence and exertions prove of no final!
advantage to the United States. He now,
we are told, re-visits this country, purely
from a desire of feeing it in the peaceable
enjoyment of the fruits of a contest, in
which he, with so much magnanimity, at
an early period, embarked his fortune and
his life. The hearts of a free people will
not fail to give a cordial welcome to one,
whose conduct has afforded such repeated
proofs of his warm and sentimental attach
ment to their liberty.

RAN away from the subscribers in Trenton in

Servants, one named William Graham, a labourer,
about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high,

# Imprefled with the idea that periodical publicati
ons of this kind must prove a rich source of profeffi
onal knowledge to the gentlemen of the faculty, and
to render them still more extensively ufeful, I have
undertaken a tianflation of these memoirs into Eng
lish, which I propose to publish by subscription. The
Honourable Mr. St. John, has engaged to furnifh me
with the originals as expeditiously as they can be ob
tained from the Royal Press at Paris.
CON DITI O N S:
ZN consequence of an advertisement I inserted in the
New-York papers, for the distribution of a book,
intitled, Journal de Medicine, Chirurgie et Phar
macie Militaire, I find that the demands exceed by
far my most sanguine expectations, as well as the
number I can possibly be supplied with.
THE publick have been already informed, that
by an Ordinance of His Most Chriflian Majefly, all
the physicians and surgeons of his military hospitals,
are directed to furnifh the royal society of physicians
at Paris, with the memoirs of all the diseases in the
several hospitals, and the mode of treating them; of
all chirurgical cases and operations, and of the im
provements made in pharmacy ; from which the soci
ety are directed to feled such as may tend to the ad
vancement of knowledge in either of the profeffions,
and publish a volume every year, to be printed in
numbers, one every three months.
Earnestly desirous to disappoint no one person, and
to render this work if possible Rill more generally
ufeful, I have put the French originals in the hands
of Mr. Browne, Surgeon, of New-York, to be trans
lated into the English language, whose knowledge of
the French tongue will, I make no doubt, enable
him to execute it with fidelity and correctness.
St. John, Consul of France.
There are already two volumes published and in
my possession, which contain such interesting matter,
as mult prove highly acceptable. A work of this
kind needs no eulogy to induce the practitioners in
phyfick and surgery of this country to purchase, for
so small a sum as two dollars a year, an epitome of
all the experience and observations in the several fei
ences of all the military phylicians and fuigeons in
the kingdom of France.
I. That the numbers be translated and printed as
soon as they arrive.
11. I hat they be printed on a good type and paper.
111. I hat each number contain about one hundred
and twenty pages octavo.
IV. That the pace to subscribers be half a dollar
each number.
V. That a number be sent to the press as soon as
there are three hundred subscribers.
I N. B. If the above farms are not fold by the Ift
lof March next, they are to be rented from theist of
I April following. The farm of 400 acres will be di-
H vided if it Should best suit the purchaser.

A FARM
TO be fold cheap, and the payments made easy
