Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Friendship, Captain Williams, arrived at Salem the 29th ult. in 24 days from London.—Dates to the 23d of August.
LONDON, August 20.
BUONAPARTE has declared, that it is the will of the French people to have a navy; and while the said navy is growing or building, for it is not clear by what means they are to have it, the Official Paper is discussing the method by which it is to defeat the St. Vincents, the Keiths, and the Nelsons. Now all these elaborate disquisitions appear to us very superfluous, if it be only for the simple and clear reason, that if it be the will of the French people to have a navy, it must be their will to have peace first .
A statement of the naval strength of the Northern Powers has found its way into several Morning Papers, which is not only a gross exaggeration of their respective navies, but seems designed to excite alarm during the pending negotiation of Lord Whitworth. The article states the following to be the force belonging to the Powers of the North.
"The Russians have in the Baltic but 53 ships of the line; the rest, amounting to 67 more, are in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean."
"Of these 10 are at Cronstadt, the rest near Copenhagen and the Cattegat."
"The frigates and sloops, &c. of the Russian navy, are stated at 160."
"The Danes have ready 37 ships of the line, 7 of which are three-deckers; 8 are of 50 guns, and 12 of 70. The Danish frigates are about 33."
"The Swedes have 31 sail of the line, and 63 frigates, sloops, &c."
"The Prussians have a great many armed vessels at Dantzic, Elbing, Stettin, &c. but there is no exact balance of them yet."
It appears from this pretended statement, that the Russian navy alone is superior in the number of ships of the line to that of Great Britain, as it is represented to consist of one hundred and twenty, while the monthly statement of our naval force, corrected to August, does not give more than a total of one hundred and thirty-eight in commission, from which are to be deducted five guardships, and twenty-seven hospital and prisonships. After this deduction, we shall have a disposable force of the line consisting of but one hundred and six sail, and consequently less than that of Russia by fourteen ships. The absurdity of such an inference, from such premises, is too obvious to require a comment.
We are not exactly informed of the naval forces of all the Northern Powers; but it may guide the public judgment in respect to the gross exaggeration of the statement above given, when we mention, that the Swedes have only four frigates in commission, and these it is found difficult to keep in pay.
August 21.
The Paris papers inform, that a complete revolution in Switzerland has again taken place. The former Councils have been abolished, and a new Executive Government has been appointed. Whether this government is to consist of one Consul, invested with supreme power, and two others invested with no power at all, and whether the Representative government of the Swiss is to be purified as in France, by a filtration upwards , are secrets which we are at present forbidden to know; when known, perhaps they will not be very well understood.
The letters from Germany (in the same papers) say, that a Congress will be held about the 26th inst. at Augsburg, for the purpose of negotiation. Other letters say, that the Congress is to be held at Carlsbad, and that General Bournonville is immediately to repair to that place, in order to join in the conferences.
Letters from Prussia say, that negotia-
tions are carried on rapidly at Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. The King of Prussia, in concert with Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and perhaps with Russia, labours to effectuate the peace of Europe, or at least of the Continent, and to organize an armed neutrality, if the war between France and England is to continue. Couriers arrive every day from Paris, Vienna, and Petersburg.
Preliminaries of peace have been signed between the French Republic and the Dey of Algiers.
August 22.
It has become ridiculous to affect any longer to doubt the intelligence of the signature of the preliminaries of peace at Paris on the 29th ult. Doubts may indeed be plausibly entertained, with regard to the ratification of the Emperor. This event undoubtedly depends upon the secret Councils of St. Petersburg, and upon the orders already given to the Russian army in Poland; but it is impossible to doubt that the pacification is advanced to the point we have so often stated, and that it can now be only interrupted by the prompt and vigorous interference of the Emperor of Russia, and the rapid march of his forces to the Danube. Whatever are the conditions imposed by Buonaparte upon the Cabinet of Vienna, it is his object to prevent the inter-mediation of other Princes, and to compel by menaces the subscription of the Emperor and King, before they shall have time to confirm his resolution, or at least to advance to his assistance.
While we observe, therefore, the conditional powers entrusted to General Duroc, we may reasonably hope that the Russian Minister at Vienna is not less empowered to regulate the movements of Prince Panceration, than the French officer those of Moreau and Massena. If the statements respecting the force of the Russians, which we have lately received both from France and from the Continent, are to be relied upon, the mediation of Paul the First will be listened to by the Chief Consul. Including the space of time (twelve days) which must elapse after the notice of a resumption of hostilities, there is sufficient time for the Russians to reach Vienna, at least before that capital can be in danger, supposing the Republicans able to force the lines upon the Inn. The movements of General Melas in Italy do not appear to be of all the consequence imputed to them. It is natural, that having completely fortified and supplied Mantua and Peschiera, he should spread himself for greater facilities of subsistence into a friendly country behind those fortresses, as well as that he should wish to take a position out of the reach and danger of any sudden attack, to which the occupation of the Grisons, and the frontier of the Tyrol by the French forces exposed him; or to take during the armistice some step which may be combined with other objects contingent upon the re-commencement of hostilities.
Upon both sides we behold the hostile armies ready to unsheathe the sword along the whole line of the war. There can be no want of preparations upon either part; and if delay is an object at Vienna, it can now arise only from some doubt or uncertainty respecting the resolution of the court of St. Petersburg. The manner in which Buonaparte has conducted the negotiations must be not a little galling to the pride of the house of Austria; but in the present state of things it will evidently submit, unless powerfully supported by one at least of the great states of the continent. The Chief Consul, on the other hand, notwithstanding the categorical answer, and the instant ratification he demands with so much haughtiness, cannot contemplate the prospect of renewed hostilities with satisfaction, because he is aware that the first cannon fired in Germany will renew the first confederation of the continent against him. Amongst, therefore, the contingent powers of Duroc,
there may very probably be that of giving way to the Russian mediation, if he finds it insisted on with firmness; and above all, if he ascertains the army of that nation in Poland to be as powerful as it is represented in the French Journals themselves. —A more critical moment has not occurred in the course of the present extraordinary war. It is stated that couriers arrive at Berlin every day from Paris, Petersburg, and Vienna; but the present negotiation appears to lay virtually between Duroc and the Russian ambassador at Vienna.
August 23.
A Hamburgh mail and a Lisbon mail arrived this morning; both of them bring intelligence of importance.
The letters by the Lisbon mail inform us that great agitation prevails throughout Portugal, in consequence of intelligence received from the court of Madrid. The Chief Consul is said to have demanded from the Portuguese government, as the price of peace, the payment to France of 10 millions of crusades, about 1,250,000. sterling; the opening of the ports of Portugal to the French, and the admission of the French to the same privileges as are enjoyed by the most favoured nations.
An answer is to be given to these proposals in sixty days. Should they be rejected, the Chief Consul threatens immediately to invade Portugal with an army of 60,000 men.
Immediately upon the receipt of this intelligence, government ordered all persons capable of bearing arms to be pressed, and the frontiers to be put in a state of defence. The packet was detained in order to carry dispatches to this country. No answer is to be returned to the Chief Consul till an answer has been received from our government. Buonaparte concludes his demand by saying, "You know me well enough to be sure that I never say any thing I do not perform."
The letters by the Lisbon mail mention, that there have been some disturbances in Spain, excited by a monk.
The Hamburgh mail brings an account of the arrival of Lord Whitworth and Mr. Drummond at Elsinore, on the 10th. No doubt is entertained here that every misunderstanding on account of the capture of the Danish vessels will soon be adjusted in an amicable manner.
The Chief Consul's aid-de-camp, Duroc, and Count St. Julien, reached Vienna on the 6th. The object of Duroc's mission was known to relate to peace, but no mention is made in the accounts from Vienna of the preliminaries having been signed.—But Duroc only arrived on the day when those accounts were dispatched, and it could not be expected that the object of his mission would transpire so soon. The recruiting ordered by the Austrian government has not been successful.
A Vienna article, Aug. 6, says, "An English courier, who has passed through this city from Constantinople on his way to London, has brought here a report, that the French General Kleber has been stabbed in Egypt, by an Arab officer; or, according to others, by a mamluke. The news, however, appears to want confirmation."
The Hamburgh mail has brought an account from Tonningen, a Danish sea port on the northern frontier of Holstein, of the seizure, by an English ship at the mouth of the Elbe, of a vessel laden with malt, from Stralsund to Bremen; a Swedish gal-lot from Gottenburg to Hamburgh, and a Danish brig. The English ship sailed with the above vessels for England.
The Danish and Swedish ships in the port of Tonningen have been ordered not to sail till further orders.
It is with much satisfaction we announce the safe arrival of the West-India fleet, which passed the Isle of Wight on Thursday afternoon, under convoy of the Invincible.

cible, of 74 guns, and the Flirt sloop. The ships for London are few.
We have also the pleasure of stating the arrival of the remainder of the fleet from the Baltic, at Bridlington, under convoy of the Favourite sloop of war.
The master of a Liverpool ship, who about ten days since was boarded by his Majesty's ship Favourite, off the Scaw, was ordered, with many other merchant vessels, to return to England, and to communicate those orders to all the merchant vessels they might meet with. This vessel belonged to Mr. McIntosh, of Liverpool, and the Captain's account may be depended on—he was bound from Hamburg to Riga. At this gloomy moment it is in vain to hazard conjecture, until the return of a messenger from Denmark.
They write from Petersburg, say the Paris Journals, that several English ships having approached Cronstadt, they were forbidden to come nearer.
The latest accounts contradict the intelligence, that conferences are carried on at Carlsbad, between Austria and Prussia.
The French lately took a ship in the Mediterranean, but finding it belonged to the Pope, they released it, saying they had orders to respect the Pontifical flag.
The attitude lately assumed by the Powers of the North, is mysterious and enigmatical in the extreme.—Russia is collecting an immense force on the Vistula, and yet Austria does not appear to have taken any alarm, or to have made any hostile preparations in that quarter.—Prussia seems to regard these movements with indifference; and yet no man who has given attention to politics can suppose that the cabinets of Petersburg or Berlin can wish to second the views of aggrandizement and extension of territory, which, after all its reverses, are still entertained by the Court of Vienna. A supposition more rational is, that the Northern Courts wish to limit the ambition both of France and of Austria, and checking the pretensions of each, to mediate a general peace. This, however, will be a matter of infinite difficulty. France will not readily yield the Cisalpine Republic, nor will Austria surrender without a struggle the Venetian territory and port, which has long been the steady object of its ambition. The future settlement of Piedmont, of Switzerland and of Holland, offers many difficulties which at first sight appear to be almost insuperable. Another obstacle, and that of a very grave description, offers itself in the determination of the Northern Courts—
“That if Austria or France shall, in the course of the negotiation, obtain any actual aggrandizement, they are determined to obtain respectively an equivalent.” From this determination it is evident, that in the issue of this tremendous contest, the smaller are to be swallowed up by the greater powers; and this it is, which unfolds the mystery of warlike preparations, mixed with pacific rumours; and of a pending armistice, attended with nearly all the circumstances of actual warfare.
Some Hamburg Papers of the 13th inst. have reached town. Letters from Copenhagen, of the 9th, state the strong sensations which prevailed there in consequence of our detention of the Danish frigate and her convoy. Admiral Dickson, whose fleet has been reinforced since his departure by four sail of the line, is certainly commissioned to act in the North Seas, and, according to some accounts, to attack the Fortress of Cronenberg, and to shut up the Straits of the Baltic, if the answer from the Danish Court should be unfavourable. There is something however, too eager and sanguine in these rumours to beget an easy belief. Nothing has passed as yet to provoke rash hostilities in so early a stage. If the resistance of the Danish frigate was not a matter of premeditation and design, there is nothing in the circumstances of the case which may not be done away by a placid negotiation.
BOLOGNA (Italy) July 3.
On the 29th of June the French marched into our city, and also took possession of the whole Legation. On the 2d inst. another column, under General Mounier, took possession of Romagna, and marched to the very gates of Pesaro.
A strong Russian corps, with eighteen pieces of cannon, remains in an entrenched position near Niumicino, ten Italian miles from Sinigaglia.
It is generally believed here, that the next step which the French will take, will be to march forty thousand men through the states of the Church against the kingdom of Naples. Although the French are still very numerous in Italy, they nevertheless receive daily reinforcements.
European Political Information.

Negotiation—France and Austria.
PARIS, August 17.
YESTERDAY citizen Duroc, Aid-de-camp to the First Consul, returned from his mission to Vienna. He immediately waited on the First Consul. The answer which he brings from the Emperor is supposed to be unfavourable to peace; as the funds yesterday fell 5 per cent. in consequence of his return.
LONDON, August 27.
Government has received official dispatches from Vienna, as late as the 15th inst.—So late as that date, no notice had been given by General Moreau of the commencement of hostilities.
When the Emperor received the late overtures of peace, he communicated them to the English cabinet—which returned an answer not unfavourable to peace. The two powers having agreed to treat in concert, these communications were necessary.
It was currently reported yesterday, that a direct intercourse between this country, and the French government, had been opened, in consequence of Baron Thugut having imparted to France the readiness of England to treat for a general pacification. We shall not permit ourselves to reason loosely upon a subject so important. We know that overtures for a Just, Solid and Permanent Peace will not be refused by his Majesty's Council. We think under the present circumstances, the French government must perceive the absurdity of offering any other.
Paris papers to the 24th inst. are wholly silent on the subject of the negotiations either with this country or Austria. General Moreau has been sent for to Paris, by the First Consul. The army at Amiens, which is destined to perform such “vast projects” is ordered to be increased to 60,000 men.
Denmark and Great-Britain.
LONDON, August 25.
Lord Whitworth arrived at Copenhagen the 11th inst. Previous to his Lordship's arrival, the Danish government had given orders for a fleet of six sail of the line, to be immediately prepared.
Some letters from Denmark state, that a reconciliation between that nation and Great-Britain, may easily be effected; while others state the reverse from the conferences between Lord Whitworth, and Count Bernstorff. The alarm, however, is very general in the north, and the merchants will ship no more goods in the ports of the Baltic, until this affair shall have been perfectly adjusted.
The French Minister Burgong, was to be at Copenhagen on the 18th, to counteract the negotiations of Lord Whitworth.
August 27.
Yesterday Capt. Duval, arrived with dispatches from Lord Whitworth. A Council has been held, and the Captain left town last night with the result.
France and Portugal.
LONDON, August 27.
The Chief Consul, Buonaparte, has demanded of Portugal, as the price of peace, 10,000,000 crusades [a crusade is in value 55 cents]—that the ports of Spain should be open to the French, and that they should be placed upon an equal footing, in commercial privileges, with the most favoured nation.
A letter from Lisbon, dated the 2d inst. states, “that in consequence of the hostile menaces of France, to invade it with an army to be marched through Spain, orders have been given to press every person that can be laid hold of, for the army and navy. The frontiers have been directed to be held in readiness for defence. Buonaparte has given our Court 60 days, for a definitive
answer; after which none will be accepted; and threatens, in case of refusal, to march 60,000 men into Portugal. He concludes by saying, “You know me well enough to be sure that I never say any thing I do not perform” If England agrees to those requisitions we may go on pretty well; but upon her determination everything depends.
ROME, July 28.
The French have applied to the Pope for leave to march an army through the Ecclesiastical states, against Naples. Whatever answer is made, it is not to be supposed the French will relinquish their design; should a passage be refused them, they will no doubt force one. Thus, if even the armistice with Austria continues, the theatre of war will soon be removed to another part of Italy.
It is beyond a doubt, that the First Consul of the French Republic, is treating with the Pope, for the restoration of the Catholic Religion in France, and the recall of the exiled Bishops.
PARIS, August 14.
The review of troops which marched on the evening of the 12th, for the camp between Amiens and Beauvois was conducted in a very brilliant manner. General Murat directed all the evolutions, and the Minister at War addressed the troops in a speech, in the course of which, the following sentence was remarked: “Defenders of your country, the First Consul has vast projects; he trusts that you will execute his orders with courage, and contribute by your labour to the restoration of peace.”

BALTIMORE, September 28.
Capture of the French Frigate Vengeance.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Nancy and Katy, captain Webb, 24 days from Kingston. The Schooner Mary-Ann, captain Dalton, arrived there the 27th of August. Captain Peck, in the Schooner Hannah, failed for this port four days before captain Webb.
On the 26th of August arrived at Port-Royal, La Vengeance, French frigate, prize to La Seine, captain Milne.
La Vengeance mounts 50 guns, besides swivels, viz. 28 twenty-four pounders, 8 fifty-six brass howitzers, and 14 long nine pounders, full of men, and many of the same families, passengers on board, that were in her when she engaged the Constellation. The number of men killed and wounded is yet uncertain. La Seine fell in with her in the Mona Passage, and came up after a chase of 48 hours, during which they had started nearly all the water on board La Seine to lighten her—they were 8 hours within gun shot, 4 of which within that of a pistol, when La Vengeance having every mast shot away, and the carnage on board dreadful, her colours were struck. La Seine suffered also much—her 2d or 3d lieutenant and 15 men killed, and 28 wounded. La Seine is rated 42 guns, but mounted 46, 18 and 9 pounders; the best match La Vengeance could have met with on the Jamaica station. Capt. Milne was 2d lieut. of the Blanch when she took La Pique, when (in company with another frigate) she took La Seine, and now in La Seine has taken La Vengeance—where will he stop?
PHILADELPHIA, September 26.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston (S. C.) to his friend in this city, dated September 13.
“The negroes have risen in arms against the whites in this country, and have killed several. And the troop of light-horse are ordered out by the Governor, to suppress the insurrection under the penalty of 15 pounds sterling for every private, and in proportion for the officers. It is expected there will be serious work before they are subdued.”
In addition to the above, we learn by a gentleman from Charleston, that this insurrection had caused a very serious alarm in that city. Some reports stated the number of the insurgents, who were embodied about 30 miles from the city, to be four or five thousand strong, and others decreased their number to 7 or 8 hundred. However this may be, the citizens were unfortunately backward in turning out, owing to the sickly state of the surrounding country. Ma-
ny choose rather to pay the penalty, than run the risk of falling a prey to the fever, which generally attacks those inhabitants of Charleston that venture into the country in the autumnal months.
September 29.
A letter from Charleston mentions that the revolt of the negroes was confined to two plantations only; but it was expected, a systematic plan had been laid for a general insurrection.
A gentleman from North-Carolina informs, that another negro insurrection had broken out near Edenton, North-Carolina, but was happily suppressed.
Letters are received in town from Richmond, which mention new discoveries relative to the intended revolt of the negroes. A plan was systematically laid for a general insurrection throughout the state.
NEW-YORK, September 26.
Extract of a letter from the Captain of the brig Apollo, to a respectable house in this city, dated Halifax, September 16.
“This day was decided in the Court of Vice-Admiralty, the case of the brig Apollo. The Court has decreed to us our vessel and freight; cargo condemned, unless we can bring more satisfactory proof of its being American property—The time allowed us is one month.”
Government, we hear, has ordered a troop of federal horse, from Harquet's ferry to be stationed near Richmond.
Two hundred Federal troops under the command of Capt. Claiborne, marched through Pittsburgh the 29th of August, for the encampment about three miles from that place.
Extract of a letter from Cape-Francois, dated August 29th, to a gentleman in Philadelphia.
“I have just time to tell you that peace is now established throughout the whole Island; that Rigaud is gone with his family; that he was seen at St. Thomas six days ago, and that he has sailed from thence for St. Martins; that General Toussaint, is in possession of all the fourth part, and that in consequence peace has been proclaimed, Te Deum sung, and the town illuminated.”

LOSS OF THE BRIG ABIGAIL.
On the 18th of last August the American brig Abigail, Capt. Grove, laden with wines, bound lastly from Altoona to Providence, foundered off the coast of Ireland in a tremendous storm, which raged with unabated violence during 24 hours. Of the crew and passengers, who amounted in the whole to 36 men, six were fortunately saved; one passenger and 5 sailors—As soon as these last found that the vessel was no longer able to support herself above water, after confining themselves fast with ropes to a spare mast, they committed themselves to the mercy of the winds and waves; and were for sixteen hours exposed to the fury of these boisterous elements. At length, however, their signals were discovered by a vessel at the distance of about three leagues, which bore down to their relief, took them on board, and landed them safely in Halifax, from whence, Mr. Munford, a young gentleman of Virginia, who was an actor in that melancholy scene, arrived in this city yesterday.
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated September 23.
The fever has in some respect abated—there are but five new cases—but fear very much that there will be many more deaths, as the month of October, is generally very fatal.
With regret I announce the death of our much esteemed friend James Dunn, who had been here for some weeks, transacting business for a mercantile house in New-York. He, as you well know, was a young man of strict integrity; consequently his death will be a severe loss to his employer as well as to the community in general.
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in London, to another in New-York, dated August 20.
“It is now said that your Commissioners, though experiencing all possible friendly attentions at Paris have not power to agree to such a treaty as they themselves think just and proper. They may wait for more enlarged authority. In the meanwhile your unarmed vessels are to pass unmolested. Peace on the Continent is considered as settled, but not yet confirmed. We do not expect any share in the treaty.”

Providence, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8.  At a Town-Council held in and for the town of Providence, on Sunday the 5th of October, 1800, at 5 o'clock P. M.  IT is with great satisfaction this Council acquaint the public, that NO CASE of the Malignant Fever exists either in town or at the hospital. The sick mentioned in the communication of Friday last, have all recovered, and the case then reported, proved not of the malignant kind; so that the town has been entirely clear of said disorder for the last seven days; and from present appearances, this Council are encouraged to hope, that no further cases of the said Fever will again occur the present season, and give it as our opinion that people from the country may now visit the town with the greatest safety.  By Order, N. W. JACKSON, C. Clerk.
The Manhattan Company of New-York has erected a handsome bridge over the Cayuga Lake. It is a mile and a quarter in length, is supported by about 200 bents, and is wide enough for three waggons to run abreast. It cost about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and is subject to a toll.
Deaths in Baltimore September 25th. Adults 24—Children 3.
From the Massachusetts Mercury of yesterday. AMERICAN ENVOYS.
A gentleman who left Paris on the 12th of August, has favoured us with several French papers. The following article is contained in the Paris Journal of August 8.
"A sort of statement has been published in some papers of the present situation of the negotiation between the American and French Ministers at Paris. It is not true, as the author of that article reports, that the negotiation is broken off, nor has it ever been. Every part of that publication is remarkably inaccurate; not excepting even the quotations from and the dates of articles."
A Quarterly Meeting of the Providence Association of Mechanics and Manufacturers, will be held at the State-House on Monday evening next.
Died. Very suddenly, on the 18th ult. at Christiana-bridge, State of Delaware, in the 35th year of his age, Mr. George Sears, jun. of the city of Baltimore, and only son of George Sears, Esq. of New-York.
"Mr. Sears, after having been educated in one of the first mercantile houses in Newport, removed some years past to the city of Baltimore, in Maryland, where a genius, early manifested in life for becoming a man of business, soon introduced him to the notice of merchants of the first respectability; and it was not long before he was judged worthy of, and honoured with the appointment of a Director of the Bank of Baltimore, and entrusted with several of the most important concerns of trade and navigation; every one thinking himself safe in referring any disputable cause to the judgment and decision of a person, whose established character for honour, integrity, punctuality in all his dealings, and a thorough knowledge of mercantile affairs, rendered him worthy of every confidence."
"On a visit to his parents and friends in Newport, who were waiting with anxious solicitude to embrace the object of their warmest affection, he was arrested by the hand of death:—Not all the entreaties of a beloved wife—not all the tears of three loving children—not all the prayers of a sister and a friend, all companions in his last illness, could for a moment ward off the fatal blow.—Nature sunk, and the man who was an ornament to society, and a blessing to all his connections, was, to their inexhaustible grief, hastily removed from this to another, and we trust, a happier state."
At Warren, on the 30th ult. after a long and painful sickness, Mrs. Sarah Child, consort of Crocker Child, Esq. in the 64th year of her age. On his passage from the Havannah, Mr. William Smith, son of Joseph Smith, Esq. of Warren, at 22.

KINE, or COW-POX.
THE subscribers having been furnished by Dr. BENJAMIN WATERSHOUSE, of Cambridge (Massachusetts) with the means of inoculating for the KINE, or COW-POX, within the county of Bristol, state of Rhode-Island; hereby give notice, that they shall immediately commence inoculation for said distemper in the towns of Bristol and Warren. It being established by numerous experiments that this disorder is much milder and safer than the Small-Pox (more than sixty thousand having gone through it in England, and no one died of it) that it effectually secures the human constitution from ever being susceptible of the Small-Pox, and that it may be taken with the utmost safety in private families, as one person cannot take it from another, even by sleeping in the same bed.
They flatter themselves that few will neglect so good an opportunity, of securing themselves from the ravages of that terrible distemper, the Small-Pox. Their terms will be moderate; they will attend families in any part of the county, and to those who may not wish to take it in their own families, they will furnish boarding and lodging in Bristol or Warren, on easy terms. Any person wishing to see a history of the disease, and an account of the experiment, both in England and America, may have the perusal of Dr. Watershouse's Pamphlet by calling on either of the subscribers.

Selected Poetry.
THE SPORTSMAN'S INVITATION.
A HUNTING SONG.
SUNG BY MR. ARROWSMITH, AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.
H ark forward, away, my brave boys, to the chase, To the joys that sweet exercise yields; The bright ruddy morning breaks on us apace, And invites to the sports of the field.
Hark forward's the cry, and cheerful the morn, Then follow the hounds, and the merry you'd born.
No music can equal the hounds in full cry, Hark, they open, then hasten away; O'er hill, dale and valley, with vigour we fly, While pursuing the sports of the day.
Hark forward's the cry, &c.
With the sports of the field no joys can compare, For Pleasure's light footsteps we trace; We run down dull Sloth, and we distance old Care, Rely Health we o'ertake in the chase.
Hark forward's the cry, &c.
Miscellaneous.
CROMWELL and BUONAPARTE.
IN a long and elaborate parallel lately drawn between the two great modern usurpers, Cromwell and Buonaparte, the following passage points out some shades of difference in favour of the latter.
"Fortune elevated Cromwell to a degree of power, to which his birth and the ordinary course of events would allow him no pretensions. Fortune has now been prodigal of similar favours upon Buonaparte. Both obtained their elevation in the midst of public troubles; both distinguished themselves by victory; but one gathered his laurels only in the devastated fields of civil war, the other has more frequently triumphed over foreign enemies. Both inscribe their rights to empire on the blades of bayonets, and the threatening front of grenadiers. Both delivered their country from a turbulent and odious Senate; and had they not the ambition to succeed to its power, would have deserved the praises of posterity. Both, under the vain pretext of liberty, invested themselves with monarchical power—but with this difference, however, that the one brought his king to the scaffold, and the other has only seated himself upon the throne of his lawful sovereign."
From the (N. Y.) Mercantile Advertiser. Extract of a letter from Troy, to a merchant in this city.
"The navigation between this village and Lansingburgh will, when completed, exceed any thing of a similar nature attempted in this part of the country. Sloops can with little difficulty sail to the docks of the latter place, and land without the expense of carting, where a canoe could not formerly float. But a company, who contracted to complete the canal, having 12 months longer for its completion, have deferred doing any more this season than to admit boats of 800 bushels burthen. These towns, particularly the latter, are indebted to the State for such promising prospects of future prosperity."
Extract of a letter from the City of Washington.
I have at length become reconciled to absence from my native city, by the interesting novelty of a city growing up on a vast extended plain, covering near four miles square. The houses, now between six and seven hundred in number, are in general of brick, and about half of them elegant buildings.—Indeed I think there is not a proportionate number of ordinary buildings, for the poorer class of mankind are certainly far more than two to one.
The capital I believe to be the most elegant building in the world, and does great credit to Dr. Thornton's taste. The Lottery Hotel is in fact three hotels in one, each 40 by 60 feet, making a complete pile of 120 by 60 feet; and four stories high. It is situated in the centre of the city, and one of the buildings is talked of for the Bank of the United States, for which it is well calculated, being better built, and with thicker walls, than either of the Banks now occupied. Another part of the Hotel has made an excellent temporary play house; but we are told that there is at present no owner to this building, nobody having yet appeared to prove property and demand the prize, though it is said
the Bank of the United States have an indirect claim to it, by the failure of the prize ticket holders in their debt.
In the territory of Columbia, ten miles square, there are two maritime towns beside Washington, and both close built. Although the yellow fever has been brought to both several times, it has never yet been contagious, owing to the high ground and the purity of the air; there being no marshes within the territory.
This circumstance has occasioned several recent removals from Norfolk and Baltimore, to Washington, since the prevalence of the fever in those towns, and will be among the chief causes of making the territory extremely populous.

YELLOW FEVER.
LEE'S Genuine New-London Patent BILIOUS PILLS,
W HICH were greatly successful in preventing and curing Epidemical, Bilious, Inflammatory, Yellow and Malignant Fevers in New-London, New-York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Baltimore, Charleston, &c. &c. and the West-Indies. Prepared by SAMUEL H. P. LEE, M. D. New-London (Connecticut,) Patent right secured according to a law of the United States.
For Sale, wholesale and retail, by WILLIAM WILKINSON.
They are approved by eminent Physicians, and others, for their virtues as an easy, safe, mild and efficacious remedy for all those complaints which arise from a redundancy of Bile in the stomach and first passages of men, women and children; such as Jaundice, remittent, Intermittent, and Ague Fevers; Yellow Fever, Cholera Morbus, Dysentery, Diarrhoea; sick Head-ache, Foul Stomach, Indigestion, &c. &c.
They are also found very useful in Worms, Dropsy, Gravel, suppression of Urine, Obstructions, obstinate Costiveness, and all those complaints where purging is indicated—also for restoring the lost appetite after eating and drinking to excess over night; for recruiting the habit in the spring season, and may be safely used in all constitutions, ages and sexes.
Certificates of their Efficacy.
I certify that my daughter and son were for some time exceedingly ill with a most violent jaundice, attended with a slow fever, pains in stomach and bowels, lost appetite, yellow skin, and great lassitude and weakness, insomuch that I expected they never would recover; after trying various remedies to no effect, I made use of Lee's New-London Bilious Pills; then in great repute in the yellow fever in New-London. They were attended with the most astonishing effects, and performed a cure greatly beyond my expectation. I use them in my family in all cases where I judge the complaints proceed from intestinal maladies, and find them to answer the best of purposes. I am convinced that I very often save the expence of doctor's bills, by a timely use of these pills in all ordinary complaints.

Attested Cases of Yellow Fever.
CASE I.
JAMES MILLER, a lad about 12 years of age, was attacked with the Yellow Fever in September last. The parents endeavoured to throw off the disease by purgative oils, injections, jalep, &c. but could get nothing through him. The third day I was call'd, I found him in the second stage of fever, with the black vomit and red petechial spots on his skin, he had no evacuation from his bowels, but ejected every thing which he took—I administered two of the pills, and he kept them down; and the third was given two hours after—and within six hours regular passages were produced, at which time the black vomit began to abate, and with the use of aqua calcis and his ordinary medicines he recovered, beyond the expectation of any of the family.
CASE II.
JOHN WELD, nurse at the hospital, was seized with the fever, in all its violence, attended with the usual symptoms of constipated bowels, delirium, vomitings, &c. &c. he was bled, took the pills every day, and although he was brought to the verge of the grave, from having an uncommon share of the disease, he recovered and always felt immediate relief from the effects of the pills.
CASE III.
I was attacked myself with the fever the last of September, from imprudently going into an infected room with four sick persons in it, early in the morning upon an empty stomach. I was bled, and kept my stomach and bowels constantly affected by the pills, and recovered without the use of any other remedies except calomel in alterative doses. I felt an immediate sensation of ease and relief from every dose I took, and always felt myself secure from that alarming symptom the black vomit whenever they passed through the stomach, and I ever found this the case with all my patients; my wife and two servants in my family were ill of the fever, but happily recovered upon a free use of the pills.
These pills were the only medicines I used for the purpose of cleansing the first passages, and for preventing the black vomit, whenever they were given and produced liberal evacuation, they never failed to answer this purpose in all cases, even pregnant women could take them with the happiest effects.

DR. LEE, SIR, From the high opinion which I have of your "New-London Bilious Pills," and from a desire to diffuse their utility among mankind, more particularly to my leaguing brethren,—I take the liberty to inform you that about the 20th of last month I arrived at New-London from the West-Indies, with the intermitting fever, commonly called the fever and ague, which I contracted there. I had had about forty fits when I arrived, I found them gaining upon me stronger and oftener, viz, from
every other day to every day. I had made many things to break the fits but in vain till I took some of your pills at night, according to direction, next day my fit was scarcely perceptible, and from that time I had no more soon as I missed the fit I went to taking them and now thank God I am hearty and well. Signed, PET. R. KEEN.
