Poetry. SIR HENRY WOTTON, In his character of a Happy Life, has the following beautiful stanzas:
How happy is he born and taught Who serveth not another's will; Whose armour is his honest thought, And simple truth his utmost skill.  Whose passions not his masters are, Whose soul is still prepar'd for death: Untied unto the world by care, Of public fame or private breath.  Who envies none that chance doth raise, Nor vice hath ever understood: How deepest wounds are given by praise, Nor rules of state, but rules of good.  Who hath his life from rumours freed, Whose conscience is his strong retreat; Whose state can neither flatterers feed, Nor ruin make oppressors great.  Who God doth late and early pray More of his grace than gifts to lend, And entertains the harmless day With a religious book or friend.  This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise or fear to fall; Lord of himself, tho' not of lands: And having nothing, yet hath all.
By Authority.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. In the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and four.
AN ACT to incorporate a number of the inhabitants of the town of Bethel, town of Newry, and plantation of Howard's Gore (so called,) in the county of Oxford, into a Religious Society, by the name of the "First Baptist Society in Bethel."  SECT. 1. Be it enacted , That the undersigned, and the other persons assembled, and by the authority of the same, That Asa Kimball, John Killgore, jr. Stephen Lefes, Jehiel Smith, jr. J. Killgore, Samuel Ayer, Ephraim Powers, Samuel Goffem, Joseph Ayer, Jonathan Smith, Samuel Killgore, Daniel Bean, Ebenezer Bean, Moses Mason, Thomas Stearns, Asa Foster, Jonathan Clark, William Russell, Isaac Towne, Nathaniel Coffin, Jesse Bean, David Coffin, Walter Mason, Paul Morse, Joseph Farrar, Belsey Clark, and Enoch Bartlett, with their families and estates, be, and they are hereby incorporated into a Religious Society, by the name of the "First Baptist Society in Bethel," with all the powers, privileges and immunities to which parishes are entitled by the constitution and laws of this commonwealth: Provided —that all such persons shall be holden to pay their proportion of all monies assessed in the town and plantations aforesaid, for parochial purposes, prior to the passing of this act.
SECT. 2. Be it further enacted . That any person belonging to the said town of Bethel, Newry, or plantation of Howard's Gore aforesaid, being of the baptist denomination, who may, at any time hereafter, actually become a member of, and unite in religious worship with the said society, and give in his or her name to the Clerk of the town, parish or plantation to which he or she belongs, with a certificate signed by the Minister or Clerk of said society, that he or she has actually become a member of, and united in religious worship with the aforesaid baptist society, fourteen days previous to the town, parish or plantation meeting therein, to be held in the month of March or April, shall from and after giving in such certificate, with his or her polls and estates, be considered as part of said society.

June 15, 1805.—By the Governor approved.

Toryism. —It was an early and a primary object with the anti-federalists, to bestow on their opponents the most unpopular epithets. The reason is obvious; they knew that the bulk of Mankind are governed by names; and therefore that by fixing on the federalists whatever appellations are odious and discordant to the public ear, they would hold a powerful weapon of attack, when all pretensions to argument, consistency, and even principle, should be abandoned. The event has demonstrated the wisdom of their plan; every man of common information in the country knows, (and every candid man will confess) that more proselytes were gained to democracy, by the misapplication of the epithets of terrymarchists , British agents , &c., to the federal party, than by all the argument, or attempt at argument, employed.
Would those who declaim so loudly against terrymarchism , preserve any kind of consistency in their conduct, we would lay our hands on our mouths, and bear their revilings a silence.—Would they exhibit some evidence that their apparent zeal is grounded in sincerity and in principle, we would in clarity, persuade ourselves that their crimination of the innocent arose from their inability to distinguish them from the author of the outrage.
TACH COXE , was a tory during the revolution; he piloted the British troops into Philadelphia, and rendered many important services to the British government. Yet one of the first official acts of Mr. Jefferson was his appointment of this tory as collector of the customs for the city of Philadelphia and afterwards to the office of Purveyor of public Supplies.
WILLIAM EDGAR , during our revolution, was in Canada, supplying the Indians with the instruments of death to butcher our countrymen. Yet Mr. Jefferson appointed this tory a commissioner of Bankruptcy for the late of Newyork.
WILLIAM STEVENS , during our struggle for liberty, was aiding and assisting the British; for his violent terrymarchism he was proscribed by the Legislature of Georgia, and his name now stands on the records of that state as a traitor . Yet has our wise president appointed him to the important office of United States District Judge.
JERED MANSFIELD , another tory , has been appointed by president Jefferson, Surveyor General of the United States.
GEORGE W. IRVING , also a tory , was appointed by Mr. Jefferson to be American Consul at London.
These are some (and they are but a small part) of the ' old tories ' who have been appointed to office by the ' severe and patriotic Jefferson ' (as the Vermont Legislature has it)—by that same Mr. Jefferson who while he was appointing them, grounded & attempted to justify the removal of several men from office, on the charge of revolutionary terrymarchism ! ( Vide official paper. Jan. 11, 1802 ) And what is still worse—old veterans "who had spilt their blood and wasted their substance in their country's service." (Gen. Rufus Putnam, for one) have been dismissed from office, to make room for these very tories we have enumerated.
Now if our revolutionists possess any principle—if their ballings against terrymarchism have proceeded from any thing like honesty—if, in fact, they are not the inconsistent hypocrites we have uniformly believed them to be, they will withdraw their support and their confidence from Mr. Jefferson. For no honest man will justify in one person what he condemns in another.
Perhaps our statement will be met by the all powerful argument of " federal lies ." Be it so, then. We aver that it is substantially correct; and if the two words—' federal lies '—are sufficient, in the opinion of any person, to demonstrate its falsity, we say amen.
But here is another argument of our revolutionists not less conclusive and irresistible than the above. It is this—that if a tory he is no longer a tory , but a " genuine republican " and consequently the president is justifiable in turning out a federalist and appointing him to office.—To these two arguments we have no reply to make; and we pity the poor being who can, with such flimsy stuff, silence the scruples of his conscience.
STOCKBRIDGE, (Mass) July 27.
The celebration of the anniversary of American Independence at Sheffield, July 4th, 1805.
Until the last year the political parties in Sheffield harmoniously united to celebrate the day that gave birth to our independence. But the violence of a few democrats in that town increased to such a degree that last year they absolutely refused to meet with the federalists, and leaving their own state attended at Canaan, in Connecticut, a meeting of democrats. At that meeting a committee of arrangements for the present year was appointed, and it was then agreed that the meeting should this year be in Sheffield. The committee determined to have a genuine democratic orator. They first applied to the celebrated Parson Leeland , of Mammoth Cheese memory. The Parson declining, a man by the name of Cray , transiently in Sheffield, was strenuously urged to deliver the oration; but he was otherwise engaged. Others were offered the honor of being the orator, but all refused. At length application was made to a certain honorable gentleman, who very readily and thankfully accepted the invitation. That hon. gentleman was the honorable barnabas Bidwell, Esq. member elect of Congress for the district of Berkshire.
At the meeting house in Sheffield, the federal committee of arrangements applied to Mr. Henry Hubbard, who, at their earnest solicitation, promised to deliver an oration at the same time and place. The parties, as was expected, met at the meeting house. Mr. Hubbard's oration was delivered first. It was the production of genius. It was bold, nervous and eloquent. The wise and excellent principles of the federal administration were clearly explained, and the great leading measures resulting from the adoption and application of those principles were illustrated and recommended with all the powers of truth and eloquence. On the other hand, the mean, deceitful, restless and disorganizing spirit of fashionable politics of the present day, were justly exposed, and severely reprobated. The picture of modern democracy was perfect—it was frightful! Even the democrats themselves shuddered at their own likeness.
For the instruction and amusement of the people of Berkshire, and all whom it may concern, it is thought proper to make one extract, at this time, from Mr. Hubbard's oration. After having admitted that the trifling and unimportant measures of the present administration were pleasing to the people, and calculated and designed to please and flatter the people, Mr. Hubbard added, "I say of Jefferson's the reverse of what Washington said of Adams's administration. All the great and important measures of the present administration are fundamentally wrong, and must, if pursued, bring ruin upon this country. I am warranted in this conclusion by the opinions of the political savior of my country. In a letter to John Adams, thirteenth of July, seventeen hundred and ninety eight, WASHINGTON wrote these identical words—'Believe me, sir, no one can more cordially approve of the wise and prudent measures of your administration; they ought to inspire universal confidence.'"
"In the opinion of the democrats the great and only merit of the present administration consists in a radical difference with the former. Therefore, according to their own sentiments, Washington too must have deemed this administration radically wrong."
"You all profess to revere the conduct and opinions of Washington. He approved, as you have seen, the wise administration of Adams. And will you that laid the great man with the execrable epithets, monarchist and cyran? Do you require Tac-

ther proof of his republicanism and wisdom? I will offer you that further proof I call upon you to observe and remember what I shall say.—The same honorable gentleman who is soon to address you from the place where I now stand, in the latter part of the federal administration, wrote a letter to Mr. Adams in which he expressed a warm interest in his personal welfare, and declared a decided approbation of the measures of his administration. This is a fact that will not be denied. Surely then that honorable gentleman must have cruelly been misrepresented. For who can believe that after having written that letter, he has spent a large portion of his time in endeavoring in conversation, in newspapers and in pamphlets to convince the people that the same Adams whom his letter so highly and justly praised is a monarchist, and that the measures of his administration were calculated and intended to destroy the liberties of this country?

LONDON JUNE 11—18, 1805.
JUNE 11—Our Fleet off Brest is superior to the French, not in numbers, but in force, consisting of twenty-one ships of the line, of which no less than eleven are of three decks, besides frigates. The enemy has the same total of the line but only three-deckers. Our ships are in daily expectation of their coming out, of their coming out, as they have 27,000 troops embarked and their ships of the line appear full of men.
Private letters from France state that the presence of Buonaparte in Italy, and his measures, have increased both the hatred and the suspicions formerly entertained of him. He has at least 120,000 troops of the line upon his Italian territories. It is thought that he meditates nothing less than the conquest of the whole of Italy. On the other hand there are not less than 80,000 men, Austrians, Russians and English, ready to resist him. He views the forces and the precautions of the Russians at Corfu with anger and jealousy, and burns with the desire to re-establish his glory in a new conquest of Egypt and Syria. His movements, however, are observed with incessant vigilance, and it is not likely that he will be able to effect any thing this campaign, excepting by intrigue or artifice.
JUNE 14—The latest advices from Constantinople mention that the Grand Seigneur persists in his refusal to acknowledge Buonaparte as Emperor of France. The interpreter of the French Embassy had for some weeks been in possession of a letter from Napoleon, addressed to his highness, but the Grand Vizier had not granted him an opportunity of delivering it.
Private letters from Vienna state, that the Emperor of the French has demanded of the Court of Vienna permission to occupy Austrian Dalmatia with French troops. It is much doubted whether that Court will consent to this proposal.
JUNE 15—A letter from Holland says, that one of the first acts of Schimmelpennick, after he attained his present situation, was to sign a treaty with Buonaparte, by which the Batavian Republic consented to exchange the Cape of Good Hope for the Island of Bourbon, now called L'Isle de Réunion. It is added, that Buonaparte had engaged, if possible, to restore Ceylon to the Dutch. If the destination of the Toulon fleet really be to the East-Indies, probably Ceylon will be the first object of attack.
JUNE 17—Information of importance has reached Government this morning by the Gottenburgh mail. The ultimate destination of the combined fleets is ascertained to be at the East-Indies and that Buonaparte has an extended plan for a very important diversion in that quarter.
Letters from Vienna positively state that the Court of Russia has notified to that of Austria its determination to take no part in the present war; and that it consequently had refused the acceptance of any subsidy from England, offering however, at the same time, its mediation for the reëstablishment of peace. This intelligence excited the most agreeable sensation at Vienna.
JUNE 18—At a late sitting of the Criminal Tribunal of Paris, Gen. Tubue and Mr. Rossolin, were convicted of conspiracy against the crown and government of France, and sentenced to death. The sentence was executed a few hours after the termination of their trial.
JUNE 18.
The mission of M. Novozilzow occupies much of the attention of the Paris journals, and an article from Hamburg, in one of them, says that a congress for a General Peace is to be held at Brussels; that Novozilzow, and the Prussian Minister are to mediate for Great Britain, and that the port of Ostend is to be opened to carry on the diplomatic correspondence with England.
A private letter from Paris, received by a foreign Minister at our court, is said to
late, that an attempt was made to assassinate Buonaparte, at Milan, and that he narrowly escaped. He was crowned at Milan the 26th May; he wore the ancient iron crown with which the Lombard kings were crowned, and when they placed it upon his head, he said aloud "Dieu me la donne, gare a qui la touche."
The northern powers of Europe seem wholly pacific. The disputes of Sweden and France, are in the way of amicable settlement. The armies of Austria, are on the march, but we consider this rather as a jealousy naturally arising from the late proceedings in Italy, than any design of war. The pacific proposition made by Buonaparte to certain powers on the continent, occasions the delay of the ratification of the Treaties between England, Russia and Sweden.

CHARLESTON, S. C. JULY 24.
"WE are happy to have it in our power to state, that the Collector of the customs has received a letter from Captain Commandant Tingey, Superintendent of the Navy Yard at Washington, informing him, that he has received orders positively to fit the frigate Adams for sea, and expects she will be ready in a fortnight (from the 8th inst.) it is probable that Capt. Murray will command her. The brig Horner, and a new brig to be launched at Baltimore in a few days, are also commissioned, and to sail with all possible speed. It is intended that these vessels shall guard our harbour, and the coast generally."
BALTIMORE, JULY 29.
Few robberies have been committed of a more audacious nature than that of the Bank, on Saturday night.—The hour of the evening (between 8 and 10) fixed upon for its perpetration, and the situation of the bank, would have ensured its safety from the common villain; but so daring and so perfectly well acquainted with the avenues leading to the interior of the bank, were these Russians, that they completely succeeded in progressing as far as their physical strength could carry them, and effected their escape with a cumbrous iron chest, which it would require at least two sturdy fellows to carry off. They made their entry in at the back gate, the lock of which they forced—then through a back door into the hall, the door of which they also forced.—This brought them to the door of the bank, which could not have been opened without the utmost violence and exertions—Every drawer that was locked now flew before them, where there was a prospect of coming at any money.—The outer iron door of the vault was wrenched open, and the inner iron door from the difficulty of getting a purchase on it, alone resisted their assaults though its strong soapstone frame bears many violent marks of the crowbar. Fortunately, however, their strength failed them here, and they thought proper to decamp with the iron chest—a small compensation for the risk they must have run.
The chest was found yesterday in the Falls, below the lower bridge, by some boys who were swimming.—It had been broken open and rifled of its contents.
It may be proper to remark, that the cashier, with his family, had retired to his country seat, and that the young gentleman who lodges in the bank, was the first to perceive the devastation that had been made when going to his lodgings, about 10 o'clock on Saturday evening. The bank-watch had also only just met at their post.
AUGUST 3.
ON Tuesday morning last, between the hours of two and three, an attempt was made to stop the United States' Mail Stage, on its way from Washington to this city. The stage contained but one passenger and the driver; and we learn from the forrner, that near Snowdens iron works, four prowling villains issued forth from ambush—one, a white man, made an effort to stop the horses, but in attempting to grasp their reins, they took such a fright as to occasion a speed which secured the stage and its contents from the depredation intended. The remaining three were negroes, who seemed to wait for the stopping of the horses, to commence their attack on the stage. To shew the insecurity of the mail property, in the attack on it we have just recd, we have only to add, that the only weapons the stage could have afforded the passenger, were—a whip and an umbrella!
NEW-YORK, JULY 30.
Stephen Arnold.—It will be remembered, that, at the last Oyer and Terminer in the county of Otsego, the murderer of the little girl, whose peculiar sufferings excited such a lively interest, even at this remote distance from the scene of action, received his trial and condemnation. The court appointed Friday, the 19th inst. between the hours of eleven and two, as the time for his execution. We are informed by a gentleman, lately from Cooperstown, that not
less than ten thousand people assembled on that occasion. Between the hours of eleven and twelve the prisoner was taken from the place of his confinement, with a rope round his neck, seated on his coffin, and conveyed on a cart to the place of execution. It was with difficulty that a company of artillery could sufficiently disperse the throng, to enable the criminal to pass; and it was with equal difficulty that a company of infantry, formed in the rear and each side of the criminal, could secure him and the procession from the pressure of the multitude. After the procession had reached the place of execution, and the criminal had ascended the scaffold, prayers were attended and a solemn affecting sermon delivered, by the Rev. Mr. Lewes. The clergy, and others who were near the prisoner, then took him by the hand, and recommended him to the mercy and favor of his God.
The conduct of Arnold, ever since his arrest, is said to have been decent, and expressive of the deepest conviction of his crime.—On this occasion particularly, his conduct was such as to excite a very lively sympathy in the surrounding multitude. He seemed to
"Walk thoughtful on the silent, solemn shore, Of the vast ocean he must sail so soon."
After the prisoner had made a short address to the people, and had informed the executioner that he might perform his duty the sheriff rose and read a reprieve, which he had received from the Governor, after the solemnities of the day had commenced. The criminal was so overcome with the emotions which this unexpected intelligence produced, that he fainted, and fell senseless, from his seat. When he had a little recovered, he was re-conducted to the prison, with the same ceremony with which he had been conveyed to the scaffold.
Georgetown, July 30.
This day, about 11 o'clock, as Mr. Peter, an officer of the bank of Columbia, was on his way and within two miles of Alexandria, with checks and notes to a considerable amount, he was shot, and robbed of the whole, by a Russian.
Mr. P. was conveyed to Alexandria a little after. The ball is extracted, and he is supposed to be in a fair way of recovery.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 31.
Bears.—Eight or ten of these animals, within these two weeks, have been killed in the vicinity of Williamsport, (Pen.) It is supposed the cause of their leaving the uninhabited wilds and coming into the thick settled country on the river, is owing to the scarcity of water, occasioned by the present uncommon drought.
By proclamation of Governor Cameron of New-Province permission is extended for three months from the 12th of July, to neutrals bringing such articles as are specified in the proclamation.—viz. corn, all sorts of grain, pulse, flour, bread, rice, and every species of salted provisions, cattle and live stock of all kinds, and all sorts of lumber. This provision extends, to the ports of Nassau, Exuma, Turks Island, St. George, and Crooked Island.
WASHINGTON, JULY 31.
A treaty has been concluded in the State of Ohio with several Indian tribes, by which one million two hundred thousand acres have been ceded to the United States for an annuity of eight hundred and twenty six dollars.
NORFOLK, JULY 24.
The preceding article [of the rupture of the negotiation with Spain] although not presented in an official form, will, it is apprehended, be found too true. Difficulties have for some time past existed with Spain, in appearance, but there is no one who takes the trouble to reflect upon the subject, who does not know from whence those difficulties proceed. It is easy to perceive that the imperial Cabinet of St. Cloud, is squinting towards the Treasury of the United States. The facility of entering it has been proven by experience.—France found that the best mode of compensating our citizens for their demands on her, was by referring them to the Treasury of their own country. It is probable, however, that we shall on the present occasion, in order to settle matters peaceably, purchase the Floridas for some eight or ten millions of dollars; pay our own citizens what Spain has promised to pay, with part, and the balance will be assigned to His Imperial Majesty, to aid him in the righteous prospect of subjugating all Europe, and more particularly the tyrants of England.
These speculations, however they may be indulged in by the Imperial minister, will, we hope, meet with disappointment. The American nation cannot see with apathy its treasure wasted, and itself degraded, by submitting to impositions which invite insult and injury. History from the earliest ages to the present day, teaches us that though peace may be purchased, it was never secured by concessions.
India.—A disorder, resembling the plague of Turkey, lately broke out at Oujein, the capital of Scinden, and is stated to have carried off seventy thousand persons in the course of a few days. The principal inhabitants fled from the city on the first alarm, and the troops at length refused to perform the duties of the garrison, and marched into the country, whither, it is feared, they may have carried the distemper. At the date, however, of the last accounts from Bombay, it was understood, that the fever confined its ravages to Oujein and its immediate vicinity.
Library.—The most ancient Library in the world was in the palace of Osmandia (King of Egypt, about 2000 years before Christ) and had this inscription upon it, Physic for the Soul ; a true and sublime inscription, if applied only to good books—bad books being rather a poison than a medicine.
Elements.
The greatest collection of books ever made was the Library of Ptolemy Soter at Alexandria in Egypt. It is said to have been augmented to seven hundred thousand volumes . The Saracens, when they took the city, burnt the library, using the books for fuel instead of wood.

Counterfeiters.—The last papers from Kentucky, mention that 15 men, charged with counterfeiting and passing base money, had been arrested, and put under a strong guard, but they were all suffered to escape, and the guard are suspected of belonging to the gang. A number of persons beside, who have hitherto borne good characters, are suspected.
Five prisoners lately broke out of goal in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Four of them were counterfeiters. One of them is supposed to be worth upward of 30,000 dollars.
Gen. Moreau.—A French paper, published at New-York, mentions that the house of Mr. Leguen, at Morisville, near Trenton, New-Jersey, has been taken for this exiled French General, who is daily expected at Philadelphia.
A Singular Fact.—In one of the ships of the fleet that sailed last week from Falmouth for the West Indies, went passengers a Lady and her seven Lap Dogs, for the passage of each of which the paid thirty pounds, on the express condition that they were to dine at the cabin table, and lap the wine after wards: Yet these happy dogs, do not engross the whole of their good lady's affection as she has also in Jamaica forty cats and a husband!!!
[Lon. paper]
English Literature.—An uncommonly splendid work, appears to have excited no small curiosity and attention amongst the Patrons of the Arts in England. It is entitled, "The Indian Hunter; or, Wild Sports of the East," and is intended to exhibit not only the manner of hunting wild animals by the Native and European inhabitants, but will, when completed, form a perfect system of Oriental Natural History. The list of subscribers is very extensive.

Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America. THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experiment. It is greatly antiseptic and particularly effectual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully applied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorderly by irregularities; the secretions are gently promoted, and a plentiful perspiration produced; in complaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 3s. per Box. WHEATSON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS. THE successful effects of which have been fully experienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundice and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the sinking, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellowness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakness of sight. They are very useful for seamen to take often when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such climates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by removing obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 8s. per Box. WHEATSON'S ITCH OINTMENT, A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price 5s. per Box. DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS, For the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Bilious Disorders.

They are also particularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other obstructions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an excellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yellow fever at its commencement, by powerfully expelling bilious, morbid, and putrefact obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and cholicky pains in the stomach and bowels—eruptions from the face and skin—sweater and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—produce a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties—Many affidavits might be produced, showing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have or may acquire is the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price 2s. 6d. per Box.

For Sale, at T. CLARK'S Bookstore, Fish-Street, Portland—(Price 50 Cents per Box) DR. NORTHROP'S NEW INVENTED BITTERS, For the JAUNDICE, and all BILIOUS COMPLAINTS.—Prepared in New York.
DIFFERENT from the patent medicines in general, that cure all diseases, this will not cure all, but it will certainly cure some, especially those that arise from a wrong distribution of the bile, which being effected is the greatest preventative to all diseases, and most conducive to health; it being an excellent preventative against noxious vapors, unhealthy rooms, and infectious diseases. The medicine that has nothing but high swelling words to recommend it to sale, ought not to be sold. The elixir of health, the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c. all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body—This is the elixir of nature, the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers, &c. It is founded on medical principles, a most false and effectual remedy against the jaundice and all those fatal disorders in the bowels, occasioned thereby, which carry off such a number of the human species. If a dose were given once or twice a day to all children, especially when they are teething, you might thereby prevent many disorders the bowels are liable to, by carrying off that crude matter which frequently occasions them, the bad effects whereof are often manifested by worms, rickets, convulsions, or other fatal symptoms, by strengthening the stomach and bowels causing good, laudable chyle, and thereby establishing a good constitution. The author having been long in the study and practice of physic, of a weakly constitution, much troubled with bilious habits, not able to find a medicine that would correct the bile and carry off the jaundice, has made it his constant study in the course of his practice, to observe and find out by experiments a remedy for a disease so prevalent in these States, as well as in the West-Indies and other warm climates, to which he and others are so much exposed, and by repeated trials of sweet, four and bitter things, of those that were colic or astringent, those that were physical or purgative, diuretic and diaphoretic; those that would strengthen, invigorate, and give a high tone to the stomach, bowels and body, as opiates, &c. &c. or those that would moderate, relax, reduce and calm the constitution, as sedatives. By trying them different ways with other ingredients, with different persons, at different times, in great variety of proportions, both simple and compound; has at last hit upon a compound of proper articles in a just proportion, that he will recommend as an absolute cure for the jaundice, and certainly to prevent and gradually to carry off and cure all those diseases that arise from bilious matter collected in the stomach, said to proceed from the overflowing of the gall; but actually, arise from indigestion, viz. All kinds of nausea, inequanimousness, puking, belching, hiccough, heartburn, foul stomach, sleepy, dull, heavy feelings, pressure and distress of the vital, with fatness, weakness, want of appetite, dim sight, dizziness, &c. All these diseases and many more of the nervous kind, such as melancholy, dejection, hectic complaints, all hypochondriac and hysterical complaints, with pains in the head, sides, stomach, palsy, rheumatism, dropsies and low spirits, which arise from obstructions of morbid matter in the intestines, stomach and bowels, crudities and fumes of indigestion, which these bitters will actually remove—They in a remarkable degree promote digestion, by opening the prima viæ and clearing the first passages, create a natural appetite, correct the bile, strengthen the coats of the stomach, and thereby supersede the necessity of any other physic—No one need be afraid to take them. They are a pure cordial for the weakest stomach. They promote an easy digestion, and by increasing the dose, prove moderately physical, by which means they regulate relaxes, dysenteries, &c. By clearing and keeping off all combinations of the bowels they prevent those disagreeable thoughts as well as feelings, that commonly arise from colic habits. They are recommended to all hypochondriacs and splenetic people, as their complaints arise from excess, intemperance or want of nourishment, by constantly taking those they will find their appetite return, their mind more at ease, and their whole body invigorated. Likewise to students, sedentary persons, and all studious persons, for they take away that fiery and intoxicating quality of the rum that is always injurious. It is the most sovereign vermifuge, the most effectual cure for worms that ever came into practice, and ought to be kept in every family of children if for no other purpose. July 23.

Save your Rags! It is great pleasure we observe the improvement making in our home manufactures—and which is so evident as to attract the attention of foreigners, as well as natives. It behoves us to foster and encourage them by every means in our power. The paper manufacture in particular, the public have the power of considerably assisting, by frugally saving all their white rags. This manufacture now fully equals the best English in its most superior branches. We wish to address the patriotism of the Ladies on this subject. Tens of thousands of dollars might be annually saved to their country by saving of Rags, either by personal attention or encouraging their domestics to add the profits to their perquisites, as many thousand tons have been and a great many continue to be imported from foreign countries. Even our Bibles are formed of an article which is frequently wasted or swept into the fire. Let then, no family be without a Rag-bag; and Children, at least, may supply themselves with Rags, by filling it with clean Linen & Cotton Rags. Cash or Paper, and the highest price will be given for Rags at the Paper-Mill in Saco (Falmouth) by PATRIDGE & TOWER. July 22.
