arrested by sovereign grace, and humbled at the foot of Emanuel's cross. Conquered by that same Jesus whom they once despised and insulted, they now hail him as their king, and sing among the living members of his church. Many of their companions, awed by these conquests, have retired from public view, and hidden themselves in silence. Thus while the enemy was coming in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifted up a standard against him. The floods have lifted up, O Lord; the floods have lifted up their voice; but thou art mightier than they.
From the frontiers, the assembly have received accounts, at once pleasing and animating. Our missionaries have been received with much respect. Their ministrations have been attended with seriousness. A cordial thankfulness for their labors, and an earnest desire that further aid may be afforded, have been expressed by most of the settlements, to which they have been sent. The prospect of the speedy conversion of the Indian tribes, appears to be increasing, and the assembly cannot but hope, that the time is not far distant, when the wilderness on our borders shall bud and blossom as the rose; when the cottage of the pagan shall be gladdened by the reception of the gospel; and the wandering and warlike savage, shall lay the implements of his cruelty at the feet of Jesus. Delightful period! when sinners shall flock to the favour, as clouds, and as doves to their windows! When an innumerable multitude, gathered from among all nations, shall sing redeeming love, and triumph in the assurance of a happy immortality! When the Church shall look forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners! When the righteousness thereof shall go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth! and when all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God! Such shall be the coming of Christ and the success of his gospel! Even so, come Lord Jesus; come quickly!
CONNECTICUT BAPTISTS.
At a late session of the Legislature of Connecticut, the Baptists renewed their application for the repeal of certain laws, which they conceived unequal in their operation upon the Religious Societies of that State. Their memorial was committed to gentlemen for whom the applicants themselves must entertain sentiments of respect. After a mature investigation of the subject, they made a report, in which with coolness and moderation they remarked, at considerable length, on the arguments and statements of the petition; and having to the satisfaction of the majority, proved that the repeal of the laws alluded to was unnecessary, the report was accepted. It was signed by Oliver Ellsworth, Chairman of the Committee.
PROFESSOR ROBISON.
An attested letter, from Professor Ebeling to Professor Robison, has been published at the request of the former gentlemen; the following is extracted from it:
"I thank you heartily for your letter, tho' it grieved me very much. But I thank you, because it enables me to clear up the most infamous villainous trick, played either to you or to me or to us both. It is easy to clear it up, for I can conscientiously deny absolutely to have written to any body in the world, such a letter about you and your character, as that whereof your letter to me contains a specimen. I deny upon my conscience and honor, that I ever wrote a line which intimated even the least doubt about your moral character, far less was I capable of writing or saying to any body in the world such infamous lies and villainous slander against you. I declare that I never heard or read any thing which could in any way be construed as detrimental to your character as a man or as a citizen."
"Your letter mentions an American Gazette received by you more than a year ago, containing a letter, said to be written by me to a Clergyman in America. By your words I must understand, that the long passage copied in your letter marked with "" makes part of that pretended letter. As this passage contains such infamous slander, such a personal attack on your honor, which if not proved by facts and witness, must fall back on the author of that passage with all its weight of baseness and infamy, and as I am accused of being the author of this passage, I should with you had been pleased to name the Gazette, with its number, and dates, place of publication and the name of the printer. But wherever it may be printed it is an infamous forgery. I never wrote a syllable about the history of your life, which is entirely unknown to me."
It will be recollected, that Professor Robison was the author of the "Proofs of a conspiracy against the Christian Religion," and that he was the expoter of the European Illuminati. The calumnies uttered against him in this country are undoubtedly remembered.
NEW INVENTION.
We are informed, the lovers of Music will have a grand treat in the course of the ensuing week. Mr. John L. Hawkins, has just completed a Musical Instrument on a construction entirely new; he calls it a CLAVIOL, from CLAVIS a key and VIOL. The Music is produced from gut strings by horse hair bows rubbed, it is played on with finger keys like the organ or Piano Forte. This instrument we are told produces the sweet enchanting tones of the Harmonica, the rich sounds of the Violin, and the full grand chords of the Organ.
[Philad. Pap.]
From the BALANCE.
NO person bows with more reverence before the majesty of the people than does the writer of this. The will of the people, constitutionally expressed, is, and I hope, ever will be, the supreme law of the United States. But there is a kind of popular phrensy, which is more to be dreaded than the fword of a tyrant; and a species of fawning adulation at the shrine of popularity, which is more to be despised than servile cringing at the footstool of royalty.
When a thirst for popularity so far gains the ascendancy in a free and independent nation, as to pervade every branch of its government, there is great danger that the constitution of such nation will fall a prey to party spirit and contention. That this is at present the case in America, will clearly appear, on examining some of the recent measures of our administration.
The question with our rulers of late has not been, Is this or that measure right, just or reasonable? but, Will this or that measure gain us popularity? has been the only inquiry. The best interests of the people have been sacrificed, while the popular ear has been tickled with fascinating sounds. The conduct of our statesmen, has resembled that of a dashing retailer, whose windows are filled with goods, while his shelves are totally empty.
Mr. Jefferson's inaugural speech was well calculated to gain popularity, because the sentiments contained in it were such as to extort even applause from his enemies: But would not Mr. Jefferson have done himself more honor by candidly marking out a line of conduct which he meant to pursue, than by making promises which he had no disposition to fulfill? Had he frankly declared, at his first setting out, that one half of the people of the United States, were a set of political heretics, over whose heads he intended to brandish the rod of persecution, he might, perhaps, have suffered the loss of a little popularity; but he would not thereby have endangered his veracity.
The ruling sect in Congress, could have had no other object in view in destroying the old judiciary system, than popularity; for they were not ignorant that a system equally good could not be adopted without as great expense: Yet, while some few had the candor to acknowledge that the expense of the system was of no consequence, the impudent and designing pretended that their only aim was to rid the people of their buttheos. Fearing that the measure, if left to itself, would have a tendency rather to diminish than increase their popularity, certain members of Congress wrote delusive addresses to their constituents, in which the salaries of the displaced judges were set down as clear savings, while the extra expenses attending the new judicial system, were totally omitted.
The repealing of the internal taxes, carried with it a fascinating sound. The measure, in name, was a charming trap to catch popularity. But could the advocates of that measure have been sincere in their professions of regard for the people, when they abolished the tax on coaches, and permitted the duty on salt to remain?
To mention every instance in which our rulers have attempted to purchase popularity at the expense of principle, would detain me too long from my plough. But there is one more which is too glaring, and barefaced to be omitted.—A law was passed during the late session of Congress, entitled, "An act making provision for the payment of the whole public debt." Now, my fellow farmers, what opinion would you naturally form of a law bearing such a delightful title? Should you not expect to find in it some means provided for the payment of the public debt? Most certainly. What, then, must be your surprise, when you find not a syllable in the law which conforms in the least degree with the title? What must be your indignation, when you discover that the framers of the law aimed, by means of a false title, to impose upon your credulity?—In what manner does the law provide for the discharge of the whole debt? It merely authorises a re loan of money for its payment!—Alas! to what despicable shifts have our popularity-loving rulers been driven. A PLOUGHMAN, at his Desk.
Governor Strong's Speech, from which we have made some extracts for this paper, is a genuine specimen of New England politics and principles. Firm and dignified, tho' mild and conciliating, it contains sentiments of sound policy, which every honest statesman ought to be proud to own.—That part which relates to appointments to office, may be read with advantage by certain "petty tyrants."—That part which points out the necessity of an efficient government, is respectfully recommended to the attention of such of the "sovereign people," as spurn at all restraints of law and order.—That part which pointedly advocates the union of the States, completely refutes those base calumnies, which the democratic printers in Massachusetts circulated previous to the election, for the purpose of injuring Mr. Strong's influence.—That part which deprecates party spirit, must command the approbation of every candid man.—That part which speaks of "unnecessarily exciting public alarm and resentment" rebukes Duane and his fattenies with some severity—and the concluding sentence of the last paragraph contains a serious and wholesome lesson for the "greatest man in America."
"A letter from a correspondent in Newyork, asserts, that only six arithmetical candidates are elected to the next Congress from that state." (Boston Chronicle.) This information is very incorrect—eleven arithmeticians are elected in this state, and six federalists. (Hudson Balance.)
Mr. BAYARD, on his return from Congress to the State which he represents, was received in a very affectionate manner by his constituents. They recollected his exertions to preserve an independent Judiciary, from which the people might, with reason, expect equal and exact justice, fearless of executive or legislative influence. They recollected that when it was determined the burden of the taxes should be lightened, he was for removing such as would relieve the whole people. They recollected that he protested against the removal of officers on account of their opinions. He has been truly the people's friend. Several entertainments were given to him in different counties of Delaware. The great democrat, Mr. Rodney, has declined standing a candidate for Congress in competition with Mr. Bayard—and no other person has yet offered. His private character is so amiable that even his political enemies are forced to respect him.—The Delaware democratic party has lessened. It is said, Mr. Jefferson has written to Mr. Rodney to encourage efforts to displace Mr. Bayard. High electioneering this! It beats the Farmer. We must not forget that it was a serious complaint against the less elevated Federal officers, that they electioneered. An anonymous democratic writer even offered it as a reason to justify dismissals. (Pallad.)
A new Gazetteer of the Eastern Continent, compiled by Dr. Morse and Mr. Parish, has lately issued from the press of Mr. Etheridge, Charlestown. It is printed in a very neat manner, upon fine paper, and contains eighteen maps. If a work of such magnitude, so well executed, and so useful to every class of citizens, is found to contain information of the old world, equally late, correct, and authentic, as any foreign publication of a like kind, it certainly has superior claims to the patronage of our countrymen. To ascertain this, as far as our time and opportunity would admit, we compared it in a number of particulars with Crutwell's New Gazetteer, the latest and best which has been published in our language. A number of articles appear to be considerably improved, and several are introduced, which we do not find in Crutwell. These are principally notices of places, which often occur in the scriptures, and will be considered by every serious reader as valuable additions. The important events, which transpired upon those spots mentioned in the sacred history; the prophecies respecting many of them; and their exact fulfilment, as noticed by modern travellers, are brought within a small compass, and often placed in an impressive point of view. The feature of the work will be regarded with interest, when it is considered, that many modern books of travels and history lead the unwary reader into doubts, and ply him with insinuations, where he least expected to find them; of course, they are not unfrequently suffered to rest upon the mind without any effort to remove them. This indirect way of unsettled belief has been practised by a certain class of writers with much art, and we fear with some success; to meet them therefore upon their own ground, and repel any insinuations hostile to the truth, by a brief statement of the facts, secures confidence, and gratifies, at the same time, a laudable curiosity to be acquainted with the particulars of places and events, which have been strongly impressed upon the minds in early life. We believe the greatest part of modern travels, histories and voyages, which have appeared in an English dress, have been consulted by the compilers of the present work; and the latest and most authentic information of the natural and civil history, general state of society and manners, improvement of arts, customs, &c. &c. have been selected, which properly fell within the scope of a Gazetteer. An Appendix is added, in which are noticed some large changes in the Eastern Continent, the arrangements consequent upon the treaty of Luneville summaily noticed, together with several new articles. This volume, as a continuation of the first, is intended to comprise a complete new Gazetteer of the World; and, we believe, that in the essential points of late, authentic, and important intelligence, managed with fidelity, accuracy, and judgment, this object has been accomplished in a very respectable manner. [Gov. U. S.]
FROM WASHINGTON, June 15.
"The expected settlement of the French legions on our southern frontier, excites many disagreeable emotions here;—and I understand the Ministry have received directions to put the press under their influence in requisition to denounce this measure of Bonaparte; and to endeavor to exonerate the President from all acquiescence in it; and from all culpability on the subject. You may therefore, expect to see the tune of the ministerial papers changed;—and from sycophantic encomiasts become the most malignant revilers of French men and measures." "It will be recollected, when Bonaparte was preparing to invade Egypt, as an encouragement to his "dogs of war," he promised them the grant of a quantity of land, equal, if I mistake not, to one hundred acres each—to be located (he did not say where) at the end of the war. It is pretty evident the grant cannot be made in Egypt; the First Consul will, therefore, I expect, endeavor to fulfill his promise in Florida. This conjunction is strengthened by the circumstance of the troops ordered to embark under Bernadotte, being a part of the army of Egypt. If these adventurers cannot obtain good measure in Florida; they will not be very bashful in squaring on the territory of the United States. Their brother adventurers in
the West-Indies already denominate us Arabs ; and they will treat us as such."
"The Southern States are more peculiarly interested in this subject, than the Northern. The enterprising Gauls, with the possession of a country, rich to a proverb;—abounding in all the valuable productions of nature;—situated in the vicinity of the West-India islands; and, commanding, as they will, the mouth of the Mississippi, will have it in their power abundantly to furnish those islands with the articles which now compose such valuable branches of our exports; and by interdicting the navigation of the Mississippi, by our countrymen, through their territory; will prohibit the settlers on our western waters from transporting their produce to market, unless under such duties as the French toll-gatherers shall please to demand. How the full-blooded buckskins of the Western Territory will stomach this state of things, is easy to imagine; and that it must produce an immediate war with France, need not the gift of prophecy to foretell. No wonder, then, the President, and his able Ministers, are embarrassed—They know they have no talents or energy sufficient to extricate the United States from the threatened situation; and they must resort to the expedient adopted during the revolutionary war, and resign the government to the Vice-President." (Centinel.)

WASHINGTON, JUNE 11.
The Secretary at War has announced, that the President having understood sundry deserters were desirous of pardon and re-admission into the army, has determined to exclude them, and directed that proper means be taken for apprehending such persons, and those who may hereafter desert, that they may be punished agreeably to the articles of war.
NORFOLK, VIRG. JUNE 15.
NEGROES AGAIN TROUBLESOME! The following accounts of risings among the Negroes, in the state of North Carolina, were handed us yesterday:
Gum Bridge, 2 o'clock in the morning, 10th June, 1802. Captain GRACE, I have to inform you that I have just received from John Shaw an account that the negroes are embodied in Hartford county, and under arms; the express came to Mr. Shaw's at 12 o'clock at night. I am in a hurry. BENJAMIN OVERMAN. * Capt. Grace lives at Elizabeth City, N. C.
ANOTHER EXPRESS.
Mr. Browning, at Nixonton received an express last night, at 12 o'clock, giving him information, that the negroes in Bertie county had risen in and about the town of Windsor, and had committed great havoc; from thence they marched to Chowan river, where they are embodied and armed at the ferry about 7 miles up the river. I do certify that the above is a true copy, D. JONES.
The above is a true copy from the original—in addition to which I have just received information that they have embodied in large companies, armed, in the great swamp near the Virginia line. Mr. J. gave the information as I give it—I fear there is too much truth in it. WILSON BUTT. Great Bridge, June 13, 1802.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 17.
The public have lately been much alarmed by rumours of insurrections in the Southern States. The following extract of a letter from an opulent planter in Bertie county, N.C. to a friend in this city, may throw some light on this interesting subject:
"June 8.—The insurrection mania has broken out in this county in a most violent degree. The people are rendered stark mad by the groundless fear of having black masters. Nobody can tell the consequences. Law is set at defiance, and reason trampled on. The poor negro who keeps clear of the club or halter is in continual danger of the bullets of madmen.—The mob have just now seized H——, and 13 others out of this county to which they belong, and, contrary law, have carried them to Winton, in Hartford county. They are also determined, in an equally illegal manner, to try them tomorrow, and I am going today to try my best to save the poor fellow; yet I have no doubt my H—— will be hanged, and I may safely say without judge or jury."
"Twenty armed madmen visit my plantation twice a day, and do me a great deal of mischief. It is dangerous to tell them their duty—nothing but the great influence I have over them, keeps them from shooting my people in their huts. I do not apprehend any danger to my white family from these ruffians yet. H——, I am clear, will die innocent. He can read and write, and is shrewd and active, and that is guilt demonstrative in the eyes of his judges." "It is greatly to be lamented that the fear of insurrection leads these rash men into so many acts of injustice and oppression. The measures which they take only tend to make the poor blacks desperate, and for my part, I tremble for the consequence."
HALIFAX, N. S. JUNE 10.
Thursday, the 8th of July, is to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving throughout this province, for the conclusion of Peace. The Governor has authorised the continuance of the usual intercourse between this Province and the United States, until the first of October next.

BOSTON, JUNE 24.
LITERARY PERFORMANCES.
Monday last, being the 21st of June, the Sen for Class at the University in Cambridge, celebrated the day of their separation, by valedictory performances in the Chapel, before a numerous and respectable audience. A period which dissolved the ties of four years habitual intimacy of these young gentlemen, and left them at large on the world, could not fail of being highly interesting to the spectators. An English Oration, by Mr. LIVERMORE, a Poem, by Mr. JOHN CODMAN, jun. and a Latin Oration, by Mr. CROCKER, adapted to the occasion, were delivered. Mr. Livermore's was a plain, sensible, and handsome composition; Mr. Codman's Poem was calculated, from its varied beauties, to interest every class of the auditory present; as a composition it was the chaste, correct and elegant effusion of a feeling heart, and a refined understanding; and by his manner of delivery, we were forcibly made to feel the interesting sensations which the occasion was calculated to excite. The feelings manifested by the audience bear a more honorable testimony to its merits than any eulogium in our power to bestow. Of the Latin we cannot judge, not being acquainted with the language; but presume it was interesting to the classic auditors.
We are happy to understand, that Mr. LUTHER RICHARDSON, at present a Student at Law in this town, is appointed by the Government of Cambridge University, to pronounce the English Oration, at the Commencement in August next, on his taking his degree of Master of Arts.
SALEM, JUNE 22.
FROM GAUDALOUPE.
On Saturday last, Capt. Stone, arrived at Newburyport from Point-Petre. He left that place on the 1st of June, and fully confirms the account, that Delgers, commanding the black troops at the fort in Basse Terre, left that fort on the night of 25th May, whether by stratagem or compulsion he cannot tell, and made a sudden push at Point-Petre, burning and destroying all the plantations in their way. The white army followed, and had several skirmishes with them before their arrival at the Point, which was on the 27th or 28th, when they had a very severe engagement, wherein the negroes were beaten and dispersed, losing about 700 men, and the next day about 400 were taken prisoners and brought to the point, where they were immediately shot. Pelage was second in command in the white army, during the engagement. Capt. S. thinks that the business will soon be finished; and yet from some circumstances he mentions, there is reason to apprehend it will not. He informs that all Grand Terre remained quiet, until the day he failed, when he saw a number of large fires; from which it is to be feared the negroes on that quarter, expecting that Delgers would be successful, have joined in the rebellion; and if so, it will be a very difficult thing to quell them. However, this is only conjecture, and may not be realized. The property they destroyed in their rout from Basse Terre to the Point must be very great, as they pass through Cape-terre, where are some of the largest and finest plantations in the island. Capt. Stone cannot say whether the plantation negroes joined the insurgents.
PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 26.
Thursday being the anniversary of St. John the Baptist was celebrated in this town, by the Most Worshipful the Grand Lodge of New Hampshire, in ample form.
The craft convened at Jefferson Hall, from whence the procession moved to St. John's Church, where the solemnities of the day were introduced by prayers, collects, &c. by the Grand Chaplain. Brother Stoddard delivered a most excellent Oration, in which he defended on Illuminism, clearly proving that legitimate lodges of freemasonry ever have remained free of that cursed infatuation. That the original founders of the order of Illuminati were not free and accepted masons; that they resembled masons in nothing but their secrecy; but that some few afterwards became masons, the better to conceal their infernal principles. The oration we think classic, and hope its appearance will convince the world that freemasonry and Illuminism are totally different.
A Masonic Ode, written by Mr. Stoddard, was sung on the occasion.

LATEST FROM ST. DOMINGO.
Captain Clark, who arrived at New York, June 19, in 12 days from St. Domingo, contradicts the news of Toussaint's having again taken up arms.
Captain Clark informs, that the American Consul at St. Domingo, two days before he failed, was ordered off in 48 hours for the Cape, to know whether the General in Chief would receive him at that place, without allowing him time to settle his business. The consul having previously learned, that the American Consul had been ordered away from the Cape, had no hopes of his being received there. He then applied to the government for a passport for America; which was granted, and he was using all possible dispatch to leave the Island. Captain C. expects he will come out in the pilot boat Perseverance, as he could not get ready in time for the Lion.
Captain Clark further informs that the Treaty of Peace between the General in Chief and Toussaint was settled, which confirms Toussaint's retiring to his own estates, and is, by the Treaty, to be consulted on all public affairs.
All American vessels off St. Domingo are sent in by French ships of war, and their cargoes sold for bills on the First Consul.
Hardy, divisionary general in the north, died at Cape Francois the 30th ult. Of the French generals, he made the fourth victim to the yellow fever.
Letters from the Cape, by which we learn the above, add, that the violence of the disease is unprecedented. It is particularly mortal among strangers, few surviving its attack, Natives and others assimilated to the climate, generally escape.
The fleet of Admiral Gantheume, with 10,000 troops was momentarily expected from France.
We hear that Dr. WATERHOUSE has presented a memorial to the Board of Health, on the subject of the Kine Pock Inoculation ; and requested them to take some steps for satisfying the public that the disease which he introduced into America is a safe and certain remedy against the Small Pox ; and we are happy to learn that they have in contemplation a plan that will infallibly relieve the public mind from further doubt on this very interesting subject. (Pat.)

POETRY.  TOBACCO. HAIL, Indian plant! to ancient times unknown; A modern truly thou, and all our own. While thro' the tube thy virtues are convey'd, Thou giv'st the statesman schemes, the student aid; But soon as pulveris'd in finest rappee, Thou strik'st for Popping's brain—if brain there be; He shines in dedications, poems, plays, Soars in Pindarics, and affects the bays. Thus dost thou every taste and fancy hit; In smoke thou'rt wis'dom, and in snuff thou'rt wit.
LINES—By S. T. COLERIDGE. To a friend, who asked how I felt when the nurse first presented my infant to me. CHARLES! my flow heart was only sad, when first I scann'd that face of feeble infancy: For dimly on my thoughtful spirit burst All I had been, and all my babe might be! But when I saw it on its mother's arm, And hanging at her bosom (she the while Bends o'er its features with a tearful smile) Then I was thill'd and melted, and most warm Impres's'd a father's kiss: and all beguil'd Of dark remembrance, and prefiguring fear I seem'd to see an angel's form appear. 'Twas even thine, beloved woman mild! So for the mother's sake the child was dear, And dearer was the mother for the child.
From a Baltimore Paper. Mr. Paine's Ode, "Rule New England," galls much some of the Democratic Editors, at the Northward. There is nothing offends bad critics so much as good poetry. Had the verses run thus, they would have been admired: Come all good people, pray attend, And lend an ear unto my song, 'Bout Jefferson, the people's friend, Oh may he live all his life long.

Portland Feb. 22. (6m) Wheaton's Jaundice Bitters.
THE successful effects of these Bitters have been fully experienced, in correcting and carrying off jaun- dicy 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, so disagreeable to be borne, and the pressure and distress of breathing; restoring also strength to the weak and trembling limbs, removing the yellowness of countenance so common to caudacy and weakly people, and also the dizziness of the head and weakness of the sight. They remarkably relieve low spirited and melancholy people, and carry off hysterical and hypochondriac complaints. They are an excellent remedy for scrofulous and scorbutic disorders. They are very useful for Seamen to take often when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preventative against disorders 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 3/6 per box.
Wheaton's Itch Ointment. A SAFE, convenient and efficacious remedy for that dis- agreeable disorder called the Itch, has been great by need, but no one, it is presumed, has before been discovered which will effect the cure without baring in it either Brimstone or Mer- cury, both of which are disagreeable and dangerous: The Brim- stone, from the manner of applying it exposes the patient to the most imminent danger of taking cold, by opening the pores of the body and at the same time impregnating the blood with a poisonous quality, and weakening and debilitating the whole constitution — The use of Mercurial Ointment is extremely dangerous and often fatal to the health.
A Medicine is now offered to the public, possessing neither of the above disagreeable and dangerous ingredients, which will as certainly cure the Itch as it is applied; and which is easy and safe for any age, habit or constitution, and attended with no disa- greable consequences of any kind, either at the time of using, or at any time after.—Price 3/ per Box. A bill signed in the hand writing of the Patentee will accompany each box. The above Medicines, direct from the Patentee, are for sale by JOHN COE (and by no other person in Portland) at No. 4, Fifth-street; together with a constant supply of
Drugs & Medicines. Portland, April 26. (6w-3) STRAYED from the owner, on the 4th inst a dark red COW—Whoever has taken her up and will give information to the subscriber, shall be rewarded JAMES STEWART; Portland, 6th Mo. 13, 1802.
