PARIS, June 2.
For three days we have had no news from the chief consul. He had informed the consul Cambaceres, that he should be some days without writing. This sudden silence announces the execution of some great military operation. Until the present, Buonaparte has not passed a day without writing to his wife, to the consuls, or to the ministers who were in need of some decision.
The minister of war yesterday received a courier from Genoa. He brings intelligence that general Massena in a sortie made at several points, took 4,700 of the enemy prisoners, and has procured provisions for 30 days.
They write from Dillingen that general Moreau had sent an adjutant to general Kray, to inform him that France preferred peace to war; and if the Imperial army would retire beyond the Leach, the French army would retire beyond the Rhine, in order that they might in the mean time treat of an armistice. General Kray, it is said, sent for reply, that the answer to these proposals must be made at Vienna.
It was by stratagem that the French got possession of the Fort of Honkentweil. They sent to the commandant a false order of the Duke of Wirttemberg, in which he was informed of the expected arrival of a body of 500 men to reinforce the garrison. A short time after, a French corps, disguised in Austrian and Wirttemberg uniforms, appeared at the gates of the fort. They were received, and the commandant the dupé of his credulity, was obliged to surrender the place. This fort in point of strength and situation can only be compared to fort Koenigsstein in Saxony.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 14.
An English squadron, arrived at Alexandria, will not admit of the capitulation concluded with the French. It is determined to oppose their sailing, and effect to treat them as prisoners of war.
The French pressing demand that the captain Pacha hasten to convoy them with his fleet, but this fleet still lies quiet in his port.
England demands, it is this day said, several places in Syria and Egypt, as a compensation for the great expenses incurred by her in the prosecution of the war.
Prussia.
PETERSBURGH, April 30.
The Emperor of Russia has proposed to Prussia a treaty of Alliance, the object of which is to repress the ambition of all the belligerent powers; and to maintain in its integrity, the ancient territorial division of Italy as well as Germany.

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.
Extract of a letter from a Merchant in Bourdeaux to his correspondent in Philadelphia, per the Polly. Capt. Lake, from St. Sebastian's, dated May 1800. The date was torn out in opening the letter.
"I have not heard from you since my last, of the 10th inst. The preliminaries with your states are settled & signed. Every thing bids fair for a re-establishment of friendship and good understanding between your Government and ours. In a short time our commercial relations will revive with redoubled vigor."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in Salem dated April 30.
"By news from Paris yesterday, it appears the Negotiations were in a favorable train, and the Treaty will be completed and signed in all May; but as it must go to America and be ratified before the intercourse will be opened, we do not expect any American vessels here till October, or perhaps later. Brandy and Wines are very plenty and cheap."
Dispatches from our Commissioners in France, were received July 20, at the Secretary of States office in Washington. They were read by Mr. Marshall, and immediately forwarded to the President at Braintree. It is said they contain accounts that some progress had been made in the business of negotiation.
Capt. Stanwood arrived at New-York July 23, in ten days from St. Bartholomews, informs that he left Martinique on the 1st of July, inst;—that on the afternoon he failed from thence, a British packet arrived there in 18 days from Falmouth the captain of which assured him, that on his passage he fell in with a British frigate, the captain of which informed, that he was bound to the first port in England with dispatches from Lord St. Vincent, stating that the Brest fleet was out consisting of 51 sail of the line.
Capt. Stanwood further informs, that on the day he failed from St. Bartholomews (the 4th inst.) a French gentleman gave him a written article in French, which stated that he had just received information from Point Petre, Guadalupe, of the arrival there of a French corvette, in 19 days from Berdeaux, and that the news she brought is as follows:
"That the negotiation between the American Commissioners and the French Republic, had terminated amicably; all differences settled, and a PEACE concluded.—That general Buonaparte had arrived before Genoa, in time to relieve gen. Massena.—That Buonaparte had made prisoners of three fourths of the Austrian troops under the command of general Melas.—That Italy was entirely in the possession of the French.—And that the French general Moreau, had, in a third battle, defeated the Austrian troops on the Rhine, and further, that orders had also arrived there, by the corvette, prohibiting the capture of American vessels."
The New-York Commercial Advertiser of the 25th inst. says yesterday arrived the Schooner Neptune, Capt. Stanwood, in ten days from St. Bartholomews. The day the Neptune failed, captain Marriner came down from Guadalupe to St. Bartholomews in a cartel, and informed that two days previous to his leaving that place a brig arrived there from Bourdeaux in 18 days with the important news that the Brest fleet, consisting of 40 sail, had put to sea.
Capt. Stanwood has favored the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a Manuscript in the French language, of which the following is a literal translation:—"Captain Duvial, arrived from Berdeaux at Point a Petre in 19 days, reports—That there is a decisive arrangement with the Americans. Buonaparte arrived before Genoa in time to relieve Massena, having taken three fourths of the army of Melas. Italy is in possession of the French. Moreau has obtained a third victory."
On the 24th inst. arrived the brig Polly, captain Lake, from St. Sebastian's in Spain, which she left the 9th of June.
Capt. Lake informs that several gentlemen at St. Sebastian's, who had been in Paris, and had the means of good information, reported, that the negotiation between the American Commissioners and the French government, had far advanced, and it was expected would end shortly, to the satisfaction of both parties; so that the commissioners would probably leave Paris about the beginning of July.
Nothing new relative to the operations of the armies had transpired; nor does capt. Lake bring any information of the fate of Genoa; but understood generally that the French were successful.
Captain Lake brought Paris papers to the 8th Prairial, but they are not so late as the news from that city by the Factor. A paper of the tenth Prairial was received at St. Sebastian's, containing the proceedings relative to the ship Pigou, which was cleared, vessel and cargo; the captors to pay damages and costs of suit.—Captain Lake could not procure this paper.
We have been favored with the following extract of a letter, brought by the Polly:—
Extract of a letter from an American captain to his owners in Philadelphia, dated St. Sebastian's 6th June, 1800, received by the Polly, Captain Lake.
"Several American vessels have arrived in this and other neighboring ports
since our arrival, most of which have been visited by British cruisers and permitted to pass without difficulty—Most people are, and have been of opinion, French cruisers would not molest unarmed American vessels, but when we are to judge from what hath happened, there appears some reason to doubt, as the ship Martin of from Norfolk to Lisbon is now detained in passage for adjunction, & the brig Eliza from Norfolk to this port has lately been carried into St. Andreo, where she is now detained. I write the above supposing you with every information of the kind as Insurers."
The account of the capture of Genoa, by the Austrians, although so positively mentioned in accounts from Lisbon, received at Charleston and New-York, is rendered, at least doubtful, by there being no notice taken of such an event in letters of the 26th May, from Lisbon, bro't by the ship Liberty Capt. Goran, arrived at this port—add to this, that letters from Gibraltar of May 29, received at New-York, says that they then had no account of the fall of Genoa.
A vessel has arrived at Salem from Gibraltar, which brings accounts to nearly the middle of June. We learn (says the Boston Gazette) by a gentleman from the former place, that the information by this arrival is, that Massena had made a sortie from Genoa about the 18th May, and had succeeded in driving the besiegers from before that place with great slaughter. This intelligence is verbal; we have seen a letter, brought by the same vessel, addressed to a respectable house in this town, dated the beginning of June, which says Massena must have surrendered ere this, as by the last accounts he was in the greatest want of provisions.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated June 8.
"A few days ago, Sir Ralph Abercrombie, arrived here from England on his way to take command of the troops destined for the secret expedition collected at Minorca. The object of this expedition has not yet transpired. The forces will be about 10 or 12,000 men the general sails for Minorca to morrow."
The ministers of Russia and Prussia have lately demanded of the Senate of Hamburg, the suppression of the sale of a work entitled " Private life of Catherine ," under the penalty of the displeasure of their royal masters.—The Senate thought it prudent to comply.
From a Paris paper—"The Porte has promised the Pacha of Belgrade, that if he will conquer Pashwan Oglou so completely as to render him incapable of making further resistance, he shall be honored with the dignity of Grand Vizier. The Pacha in consequence has redoubled his exertions against his rival. Pashwan Oglou is actually supported by Allin Basha, Pacha and Governor of Macedonia, who makes it a common cause with him. The junction of these daring characters makes the Porte very uneasy."

By his Excellency James Jackson, Governor and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia thereof.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS I have received substantial information that William A Bowles, styling himself director general of Muskogee, in letters dated head quarters, St. Marks Fort, June 5th, 1800, addressed to certain citizens of this state, and of the United States has endeavored to seduce them from their allegiance, which they owe the said states, and to prevail on them to enter his service, and to enlist men within the bounds of this state and the United States, to fight against the subjects, troops and government of his Catholic majesty, the king of Spain, with whom the United States are allied by the most solemn ties of amity and friendship, and by virtue of the treaty of San Lorenzo el Real , concluded between the high contracting parties, on the seven and twentieth day of October 1795, and signed by Thomas Pinckney on the part of the said states, and the Prince of Peace, on the part of his Catholic majesty, and which treaty was duly ratified, and is now of
full force, and citizens of one side, and subjects of the other, are hereby forbid committing hostilities on, or entering the service of the enemies of either of the said contracting parties.
And whereas, in and by an act of the United States, entitled "an act in addition to the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States," passed June the 5th, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and continued at different periods, by different and several laws of the said United States, and now of force, by virtue of an act passed for the further continuance thereof, and approved on the twenty-fourth day of April, of the present year one thousand eight hundred, it is enacted—"That if any citizens of the United States shall within the territory or jurisdiction of the same, accept and exercise a commission to serve a foreign Prince, or state, in war, by land or sea—the person so offending, shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and shall be fined not more than two thousand dollars, and shall be imprisoned not exceeding three years."
And it is herein further enacted, "that if any person shall within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, enlist or enter himself, or hire to retain another person, to enlist or enter himself, or to go beyond the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States, with intent to be enlisted or entered in the service of any foreign Prince or State, as a soldier, or as a marine or seaman on board of any vessel of war, letter of marque, or privateer; every person so offending, shall be deemed guilty of high misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding one thousand dollars, and be imprisoned not exceeding three years." Provided, "that if any person so enlisted, shall within thirty days after such enlistment, voluntarily discover, upon oath, to some justice of the peace or other civil magistrate, the person or persons by whom he was enlisted, so as he or they may be apprehended and convicted, of the said offence, such person so discovering the offender or offenders shall be indemnified from the penalty prescribed by this act."
And whereas it is highly probable that the said Wm. A. Bowles, may be countenanced or authorized by some foreign Prince or state, in the proceedings and hostilities he has taken and commenced against his Catholic majesty, and under whose protection he may act, which would bring him clearly within the act of the United States aforesaid, as well as those who might accept and exercise commissions under him, and those enlisting in consequence thereof. And if this should prove the case, the said Wm. A. Bowles can be considered in no other light than a common plunderer and a vagabond, and a common disturber of the peace of nations, he having had the influence even to threaten the life of the superintendent of the United States, in the Creek Nation, substantiated by documents now in my hands.
And whereas, some of the citizens of this state, and the United States, may be deluded (by the promises and alurements held out to them by the said William A. Bowles) from their fidelity to this state, and the United States, and may embark in hostility against the faithful ally thereof, previously to the possibility of any step being taken to prevent the same by the President of the United States on account of the distance of his residence from the southern frontier of Georgia.
I HAVE THOUGHT FIT, to issue this my proclamation, hereby notifying all and every person and persons, residents inhabitants or citizens of this state, of the said treaty, and law of the United States, and of the perfect harmony and friendship existing between his Catholic majesty and the United States, as they will answer the contrary at their peril.—And I do hereby strictly charge, and require, all officers, civil and military, belonging to this state to be watchful and vigilant, in apprehending and securing any person or persons, residents, inhabitants or citizens within this state, who may have received, or may hereafter receive any commission from the said Wm. A. Bowles, for the purpose of committing hostility against the Spanish government, or on any other pretence whatsoever, as well as in apprehending and securing all and every person and persons, residents,

Inhabitants, or citizens within this state, who may have enlisted, or may hereafter enlist in any troop or company, raised, or to be raised, in virtue of any such commission or commissions, from the said William A. Bowles, the same being contrary to the true intent and meaning of the aforementioned solemn treaty, as well as the existing laws of the United States.
GIVEN under my hand and the Great Seal of this State, at the State-House in Louisville, this eighth day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred, and in the twenty fifth year of American Independence.

BALTIMORE. July 29.
A vessel from St. Sebastians is said to be arrived in the Delaware, which brings advices down to the 9th June, at which date it is said a junction had been formed between the French armies under Buonaparte and Massena, and that in a pitched battle the armies under Melas had suffered a signal defeat—other advices we have heard, but could not obtain particulars of, are received.
In a late paper we intimated that a disagreement had taken place between the courts of London and Petersburg; and that a treaty was on foot between Russia and Prussia, in which Denmark and Sweden were invited to be concerned. It is now said, that private letters from England, received by the last arrival, give countenance to this report. By the following paragraph, from a London paper of the 1st June, it appears to be well founded.
“After the defultory and wayward politics which have been displayed of late, in the Cabinet of Petersburg, no one can be much surprised at any event which may occur in future. In proportion as the Emperor has withdrawn himself from the theatre of war, he has proved himself lukewarm to use no harsher term, in his friendship towards this country. He is long known to have interrupted Lord Wentworth in his intercourse with the British Cabinet, and he has now we find, actually recalled his own ambassador from the British court; on what account this last step has been taken, or by what it may be succeeded, is more easy to conjecture than might be prudent to predict. It is well known that a treaty of alliance has been already ratified between himself and the king of Prussia, for the purpose of terminating the present hostilities on the continent; and he has publicly declared that he withdrew from the scene of warfare, because he did not chuse to be made the dupe of the ambition of Austria, or the views, whatever they may be, of the British Cabinet.

Mr. PRENTIS,
Please give the enclosed curious fact a place in your paper, and oblige an old SUBSCRIBER.
A PRODIGY.
The following is an extract from a letter received by a gentleman of this town, from a correspondent in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina.
“A most curious spectacle was exhibited in this city a few days ago. A female of the canine species was delivered of the most perfect lusus naturae that has ever been beheld in this part of the world or I believe in any other. I will give you as accurate a description of it as I can. Its shape more resembles that of a child than any thing else I can compare it to—indeed it appears to be a composition of the human and brute parts of the creation. It has three heads, viz. one on each shoulder, and another between them—the one in the exact representation of a human face: those on the shoulders no way different from those of a dog. It has six legs, two of which stand upright on its back, and four tails. I forgot to mention that the middle head, instead of being covered with hair similar to that on the body, is furnished with black curly hair like that on the head of a Negro—and hands, instead of paws are placed on the ends of those legs or arms (which ever they may be called,) which stand upright on the back.
“The owner of this curious animal expects to make a fortune by it—he sets out in a few days on his travels, and will no doubt pass through Petersburg, when you will see with your own eyes, and I dare say you will be as little able to account for such a strange appearance as I can be.”
To Naturalists , the following Quere is submitted, viz.—Whether the foregoing birth originated from an unlawful connection—or, from what other cause?

News from ITALY.
SALEM, Friday evening, 9 o'clock.
Messrs. Young & Minns, Brig Essex, capt. Orne, has just arrived from Barcelona, via Gibraltar, 32 days from the latter. Captain O. brings the important news of the defeat of the Austrian army of observation, left by Melas before Genoa while he went to meet Berthier with the army of Dijon. It is said the defeat was complete, & took place on the 18th of May. There has been a previous battle. Genoa was not in so suffering a condition as has been represented. The above news is brought on shore by boats which have been along side of the Essex. I shall see the captain when he lands, and endeavor to obtain further particulars.
From the SALEM REGISTER , of yesterday.
On Friday evening arrived here the brig Essex, Joseph Orne, from Barcelona, via Gibraltar, 32 days from the latter place. Accounts were received at Barcelona the day before captain Orne failed, May 23, that on the 17th or 18th of May Massena made a successful sally from Genoa, and killed and took a great number of Austrians. The report was generally believed to be true at Barcelona. There was not the least probability of Genoa's falling, as great reinforcements were marching to its relief.—The city was constantly supplied with grain and provisions by flat bottomed boats from Barcelona, which from their construction could sail inshore and of course out of the reach of the guns of the blockading ships.
There was an expedition going on from Gibraltar, from whence gen. Abercrombie failed the 12th June, with two regiments of foot and two of cavalry. Its destination was unknown; but supposed either for Genoa or Malta.
The French privateers have ceased troubling our vessels in the Straights, unless armed, or bound to Gibraltar, which is blockaded by the Spaniards who take all vessels bound there.
Accounts by capt. O. we understand have been received, that the king of Spain by proclamation had forbid the further piracy on the American commerce by the gun boats from Algezires, &c.
SALEM. July 24.
A letter from Captain Richard Gardner, of the ship Hazard, of this port dated Teneriffe, May 27, informs: That he has seen and conversed with the Captain of a French national brig, which had been chased in there, direct from Brest, bound to the Isle of France—who informed, that peace had been concluded between France and America—that the American flag was flying at Brest—that his orders were particular not to interrupt unarmed neutrals, i. e. vessels without commissions, and positive, not to molest any American ship whatever—and that prize vessels had been purchased up by the Americans at the different ports in France, in order it was supposed to come home in. This intelligence the French captain certified in the presence of the new French Consul (who captain Gardner speaks of in respectable terms) to be the truth—and the Consul affixed the seal of the republic to the declaration, and gave it to captain Gardner. The brig left Brest about the last of April or the first of May, and was bound to the Isle of France with new commissioners and Dispatches from the First Consul, which the commissioners assured Cap. G. (on their honor) contained declarations of peace and good will towards the American flag. Captain Gardner adds—I am really inclined to think it is Peace.

PROVIDENCE, July 23.
By captain Hudson, lately arrived at Newport from the Havannah, from which place he failed under convoy of the United States frigate General Greene, we are informed, that while on the passage from New-Orleans to the Havannah, with an American brig under convoy, the general Greene fell in with a British 74 gun ship, which fired a shot at the brig to bring her too for examination. As neither the brig nor the General Greene paid any attention to this, but kept on their course, a boat was dispatched from the 74 to board the brig. The General Greene upon this fired a shot at the boat, which immediately brought her along side; in consequence of which, the 74 bore down and spoke the frigate, deman-
ding the reason why her boat was fired upon,—to which captain Perry replied, that it was to prevent her boarding the brig, which was under his protection. The captain of the man of war then observed, it was very surprising that a British 74 gun ship, could not examine a merchant brig!—Captain Perry replied, if she had been a first rate ship she should not do it to the dishonor of his flag. He then, in polite terms, asked capt. Perry if he would consent to the brig's being examined;—Capt. Perry assented, but observed that it would be useless, as he knew her cargo to be no ways liable to seizure.

LANSINGBURGH, July 1. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
The following melancholy accident happened in Troy, on Friday last:—A person having dropped his shoe into a well near Mr. Ashley's tavern, which had been covered and unused for some time, persuaded Master Jack Tilman, a young lad about fourteen years of age, son of the late Christopher Tilman, Esq. of this village, to descend into the well to fetch it up. A stick was tied to the end of a rope for the purpose, on which he placed his feet, and was lowered down; but as approached the bottom, he was almost instantaneously suffocated with the dead air and dropped from the rope. A Mr. Jesse Benaham, who has attended the ferry at Troy, inconsiderately went, down after him, and met with a like fate. The water in the well, not being more than a foot in depth, the bodies were soon taken up, but every attempt to reanimate them proved ineffectual. While we sympathise with the respectable and numerous connections of the former, and most sincerely regret his premature death, our sensibility must be peculiarly awakened at the fate of the latter, who has left a wife and several children to lament an irreparable loss.
PETERSBURG, July 22.
Yesterday, between the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, we had the most dreadful torrent of rain ever remembered in this town.—It lasted about an hour. The creek commonly called the Brick-house run, rose to such a height and the water came down with such force, as to wash down the west side of the two story brick house, occupied by Ellis and M'Gee, in Old-street, and it is apprehended the whole house will fall. The silvermith's shop occupied by Mr. Geddy, also sustained considerable injury. The creek rose so suddenly that there was not time to remove all the goods out of the store of Ellis and M'Gee, their loss cannot be estimated at less than between 400 and 500.
The lightning struck a barn at White Hill, the plantation of Mr. Gillam, about two miles below town, which was burnt down, together with three other small buildings.
Lexington, August 21.
As the latest intelligence is generally received by the Eastern Mail, it becomes necessary to change our day of publication; therefore this paper will in future be published on Monday evening, until an alteration in the time of the arrival of the mail, shall again make it necessary to change.
Accounts from Detroit, of June 2, say — “that the Indians are fighting amongst themselves; and that numbers have been killed in the Wabash country. Six Wiatdots, who had stolen horses on the Scioto had been killed by the white men. Belts of wampum with war speeches have been sent to the different nations in that quarter. (Bal. American.)
Extraordinary Honesty.
In one of our Paris papers we find the following account. “Yesterday the cashier of one of the principal banking houses in this place shot himself on account of an error of 25 thousand francs which appeared in his accounts. The oftener he examined them the more terrified he became and the less able to discover whence the error arose. After his death, the Bankers with whose affairs he was entrusted had them settled and found them perfectly in order.” Such uncommon sensibility for the character of honesty merited a better fate.

MEDICINES:
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from fulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels.
A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Furgling, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES,
SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed. but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn before me, this 16th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loth for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE. For the prevention and cure of Billious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS PILLS,
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Peterburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
The preparation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretion—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance—They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the cure of a Certain Disease.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the unskillful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE,
An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER,
An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER,
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS,
The only remedy yet discovered, which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR,
For the cure of every kind of Head Ache, &c. &c.

The Austrians have evacuated the Gironsons; Coire, Feldkirch, Bregenz, and Lindau are in our hands. A letter from Augsburg states, that on the 18th a courier from Vienna passed that way on his route to Paris. He was supposed to be charged with pacific dispatches.
NATCHEZ, June 7.
The following paragraphs are taken from the Impartial Observer, of Monday last:
"By a gentleman whose information can be relied on, we are informed that 10,000 troops were ready to embark from Jamaica to Mobile and Pensacola, afterwards destined for New Orleans.
"It is reported, that Mobile and Pensacola are already in possession of the British—that Bowles had approached near the Mobile with 4 or 500 Indians, and had returned back."
(Apocryphal.)
FREDERICKSBURGH, August 5.
Doctor Charles Brown, an officer in the continental service, has presented to Peap's Museum, a CANOE, made of Birch bark—It measures 23 feet in length, breadth 4 feet, and 26 inches deep—Although of this large size, yet is so light that two men may carry it with ease.
This canoe was constructed at Sayanab bay on Lake Huron. It carried 6 persons and 1200 hundred weight of baggage across the lakes.
The Doctor in coming down to New York, passed a portage of 25 miles, viz. 9 at the falls of Niagara, and 16 at Schenectady and Albany. It was his intention to come round through the sound, and up the Delaware; cold and bad weather induced him to have it carried to Brunswick and Trenton, from whence he descended the river to this city.
When we look on this canoe (the work of an Indian women) it should remind us of an excellent custom among several nations of the Aborigines of America.—They esteem their daughters unfit for marriage before they can make a canoe; and say, that they ought not to be a SPOUSE before they can be a HELP MATE.

THE MISER.
WHEN Avarus had gain'd near a million of gold, (God knows by what means, for that we're not told) Perceiving himself drawing near to his death, To his son he thus, weeping, employ'd his last breath; 'My son, I shall leave you a little behind; Be frugal, my boy, for alas you will find That money is scarce, and quite hard to be found; And mind too, my son, ere I'm laid under ground, The parson, to crafty, will soon come and say, You would with I suppose, fir, the clergy should pray For your fire; 'tis the custom, and, fir, let me urge, That you'll spare no expence for his funeral dirge. O my son, never mind them: I beg you'll refuse To spend any more than what just pays the dues: For if God should condemn me to hell, 'tis well known, Gold will not avail; quite away 'twill be thrown. If more happy the regions of bliss I attain, All expences, you're sure, will be useless and vain.' 'My fire,' said the son, 'that is true; but suppose, Your soul to the prison of purgatory goes.' 'Ah! should that be my lot, and I can't get away, Without spending my money, why--there I will stay.'
