Recipe i. Take about three quarters of an
ounce of the lind of the oldel|chcele that can be
got, scrape it very fine in a pint, or less, of new
milk which let be thickened with the best fu
perfine flour, to the confidence of what is gene
rally termed inulh, which lei be the patient’s
constant diet till they find the flux inclining to
flop, then work ic off with any gentle purge :
should they desist taking the medicine, too soon,
and find the disorder returning, have recourse
to it again, it will afluredly cure.
Recipe 2. Take the inner bark cf a white
oak fapiih or tree, of which make tea Iweetened
with the belt double refined loaf sugar, which
let be the pa tent’s constant drink if it proves
unoalatabie, drv the bark before a flow fire, Sc
reduce it to a fine powder, a small ira-fpoonful
( f which may be taken in a glafsof good
Port wine, warmed, in the morning fafting, and
;n the evening, observing topwork it off as io
the firft recipe. This medicine is fully effi
cacious as the other, and belt suits rhofe who
through a depraved appetite cannot take the firft
medicine. — ——

Valt el, a celebrated French writer, on the
Law of Nations, speaking of persons who un
dertake to inlift men in foreign countries, in
forms us, that their crime is punished with the
utmost severity in every political Hate. “ Fo
reign recruiters,” fays he, “are hanged imme
diately, and very juilly as it is not to be pre-
Tumed that the r fevereign ordered them to
commit the crime : and if they did receive such
an order, they ought not to obey it, thdr love,
reign having no right to command what is
contrary to the law of nature ” Thus lays this
amiable writer— A fine fl ion may well be a&ed,
if a common recruiting le r geant, who only
ads in the line o; his proitffion, is by the law
cf Nations punishable with DEATH, for en
lilting mtn in a foreign country, what t eat
men', does the Consul of a foreign nation de
serve, when HE assumes the character cf a re
cruiting officer ?”
The Fiench EmbafTad 'r can only be “ im
peached” bv the National Convention of
France —those then who wish to infer his in
nocence from The President’s silence,
mull do it to millead the People from their
jull resentment. Ihe Man of their choice has
ailed like himfelf, firm and unruffled : and is
pursuing the felicity of the United States lleri
falt and immoveable- He can only order that
theAmbaffador’s conduit should be reprelented
to the ruling powers in France ; and this he
has undoubtedly done.

From a refpeßablc corref pond.nt to the Editor
of the Federal Gazette.
SIR,
You are authorized to inform the puplic, that the
armies of Spain, in Catalonia, on the 16th of April,
entered France, by the province of Rofellou. From
that time until the 24th of May, they had beat the
French armies in several engagement?, in which the
forces were equal, and even inferior to the latter : —
That the Spaniards had taken from the French (by
force of arms) the towns of Ceret and Argeles, toge
ther with the village and fort of Malden, with seve
ral piecessof artillery, ammunition, arms, two flags,
and killed from 3 to 400 men, 200 wounded, 280
drowned in the river near Ceret, and they took a
bove 200 prisoners. That the town of St. Lorence
of Creda, and 21 villages of the French Cerdufia,
have surrendered themfclves spontaneously to the
Catholir armies, with the ringing of bells, found of
mulic, and loud acclamations of long live the King
of Spain. ~
That the 30th of MSy, the other army in Navar
ra, entered France, by the province of Gafconia, dif
lodgcd the French army oft the eminence on which
they were placed,and encamped themlelvcs thereon ;
they beat the French, and put them to a precipitate
flight, and possessed th^mfelves of the town of Sara
They were equally beat back in the province of
Aragon, when the French attempted to enter into
Spain—and until that date, the only advantage the
French obtained was the taking of the very inconfid
crabie places of Sarragamundy and Urdax:
The admiral of the Spanish fleet, don Francisco de
Borfa, whom his Catholic Majesty font to reinstate
his Sardinian majesty, (uncle to the King ot Spain)
informs, under the -date of the 26th May, that the
islands of St. Antonio, and St. Peters ; which had
Seen formerly taken by the French were then in pof
[eflion of his Sardinian majesty, and rendered to him
3 y capitulation ; that the above* admiral had captur
:d the French frigate Elena, of 36 guns, on the coalt
jf St Peter, and the French (rigate Richmond, ior
nerly belonging to thcEugUlh, was burnt in the har
»our.

Sir, *
IT appearing that repeated contraventions of

It is expelled, that the officers of the customs
in each cifir dt, will in the course of their offi

ver may be passing within the ports', harbours,
creeks, inlets and waters of such difl idt, of a
nature to contravene the laws of neutrality, and
upon difeovery of any thing of the kind will
give immediate notice to the governor of the
state and to the attorney of the judicial diilr dt,
comprehending the diftrid of the customs with
in which any such contravention may happtn.
To assist the judgment of the offiteis on this
head, I transmit herewith a fcheduie of rules,
concerning sundry particulars, which have been

of uncommon size, was ieen in this and neigh

east, about fixtv or sixty five degrees above
the fiorrizon. Its apparent direftion was an
oblique dekent ; so that the point, where if
disappeared, was but little east of north, and
abour twenty degrees above the horrizon.—
The uniformity in accounts i>f observers, at
sundry places, at several miles diflance from
each other; refpefting its apparent elevation,
direftion, and magnitude,argue, that its dist

its height great. Its apparent diametor, when

it had palled about five degrees, in which si

on rhe meridian ; whence in its progress it
gradually decreased, leaving a train behind.

From a New London Paper of August 8.
Thursday last arrived here the schooner bea
flower, Capr. J. Hulbut, 16 days from Point
Petre, Guadeloupe, who relates the following
oocurence, which took p ace at the Point on
the io.h uk.— A dispute, in consequence of a
game at cards, arising between some Aristocrats,
who were in prison, the centinel at the door
commanded to be quiet, it being his orders to
pievent any disturbance among them ; butin
dtevd of judiciously complying with this reaf
cnable demand, ose of them seized the musket
and forced it from the cen.inel, and gave him
abusive language; one, mere moderate, imme
diately returned the gun. The centinel after
being relieved, informed some filers of what
had taken place, and a large number loon col
lefted, leized two field-pieces, which they pla
ced oppofie the Municipality, who were then
fitting, a party then proceeded to the piiloo,
which they forced, and cut off the h; ads of 7
planters and a pfayfician, sparing cnly the one
who had returned the gun. During this time
the generale was beat, and the soldiers were
immediately paraded ; but on being ordered to'
march no one obeyed, tearing to aitack the fai-
Ibrs who were in great force, a number of ar
med veflels being at that ime in the harbour.
Happily no further violence was committed.
