DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A foreign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, fore Throats and approaching Consumption.—Price 1 Dollar. To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOP-ING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past, cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons, of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels. The above valuable Medicine is sold in boxes containing forty Lozenges, at one Dollar per box.

A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
THIS valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use. The pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp in the feet. Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a slowness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.

cure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance.

TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.
The Memorial and Remonstrance of the free citizens of the state, subscribers hereunto, Humbly sheweth.
1. That we have seen a petition printed in the Kentucky Gazette of the 16th of November, 1802, with a bill concerning the emancipation of slaves; both of which, we believe to be predicated on unfounded principles, and still more erroneous conclusions.
2. That we believe the late Revolution in America, was undertaken by the Freemen of the country for their own use and benefit, and that of their posterity; and had it been unsuccessful, they only would have been the sufferers.
3. That the first introduction of a degraded set of men, from another quarter of the globe, was not a matter of choice of the then American inhabitants—it was forced upon them by another people whose object was gain, and not the moral or political good of your memorialists.
4. That the revolution thus finding a numerous body of men amongst us, who had no political rights but such as proceeded from humanity and individual utility: It was found policy in the national and state governments, to protect the right of property in their citizens; and touch with cautious circumspection, claims for personal service that has been sanctioned by time, by usage, and by public prosperity.
5. That it will be doubted, by many well informed and disinterested citizens, whether the granting the prayer of the petitioners at the present day, and for many years hence, will not defeat their professed object, to wit: Freedom and the rights of Citizens, to their Black Brethren, long before they are in a capacity to enjoy them.
6. That a friendly nation, lately in its wild career in search of civil liberty, has given us an instructive monition, in the measures they adopted towards more than half a million of their people of colour—Liberty and Equality, was the lure to excite an unmeaning enthusiasm, which wanted knowledge and virtue for its guide; of course ended in frightful massacres, & a total devaluation.
7. That your memorialists know they owe much to the cause of liberty, and the rights of human nature; but they also believe, they owe more to themselves and their children, than to any nation of strangers: that they abhor a mixture with so degraded a race of men, who can only be deemed the lowest link in the chain of human beings.
8. We therefore earnestly remonstrate against the whole tenor of said Petition and the Bill published with it; as being highly impolitic, and unconstitutional; calculated to make uneasy in their present situations, a large number of useful labourers; inducing a rigour and expence to keep them in proper subordination—creating a body of enemies, when we might have peaceful inhabitants, and profitable auxiliaries in all kinds of manual labor: for we hold it as an incontrovertible position, that when emancipation does take place, EXPULSION MUST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW.
And your memorialists will pray.
N. B. The Editor of the Kentucky Gazette will oblige a number of his readers by giving the above a place in his paper.
From the National Intelligencer.
THOMAS PAINE, To the Citizens of the United States: LETTER THE FIRST.
AFTER an absence of almost fifteen years, I am again returned to the country in which dangers I bore my share, and to whose greatness I contributed my part.
When I failed for Europe in the spring of 1787, it was my intention to return to America the next year, and enjoy in retirement, the esteem of my friends and the repose I was entitled to. I had stood out the storm of one revolution, and had no wish to embark in another. But other scenes and circumstances than those of contemplated ease, were allotted me. The French revolution was beginning to germinate when I arrived in France. The principles of it were good, they were copied from America, and the men who conducted it were honest. But the fury of faction soon extinguished the one, and sent the other to the scaffold. Of those who began that revolution, I am almost the only survivor, and that through a thousand dangers. I owe this not to the prayers of priests, nor the piety of hypocrites, but to the continued protection of Providence.
But while I behold with pleasure the dawn of liberty rising in Europe, I saw with regret the lustre of it fading in America. In less than two years from the time of my departure some distant symptoms painfully suggested the idea that the principles of the revolution were expiring on the soil that produced them. I received at that time, a letter from a female literary correspondent, and in my answer to her I expressed my fears on that head in the following pensive soliloquy.
"You touch me on a very tender point when you say, that my friends on your side the water cannot be reconciled to the idea of my abandoning America even for my native England. They are right. I had rather see my horse Button eating the grass of Borden-
town or Morilanea than see all the pomp and show of Europe."
"A thousand years hence, for I must indulge a few thoughts, perhaps in less, America may be what Europe now is. The innocence of her character, that won the hearts of all nations in her favour, may sound like a romance, & her inimitable virtue as if it had never been. The ruins of that liberty for which thousands bled may just furnish materials for a village tale or extort a sigh from rustic sensibility; whilst the fashionable of that day enveloped in dissipation, shall deride the principle and deny the fact."
"When we contemplate the fall of Empires, and the extinction of the nations of the ancient world, we see but little more to excite our regret than the moulderings ruins of pompous palaces, magnificent monuments, lofty pyramids, and walls and towers of the most costly workmanship; but when the empire of America shall fall, the subject for contemplative sorrow will be infinitely greater than crumbling brass or marble can inspire. It will not then be said here stood a temple of vast antiquity, here rose a babel of invisible height, or there a palace of sumptuous extravagance; but here! ah painful thought! the noblest work of human wisdom, the grandest scene of human glory, the fair cause of freedom ROSE and FELL. Read this and then ask if I forget America."
I now know, from the information I obtained upon the spot, that the impressions that then distressed me, for I was proud of America were but too well founded. She was turning her back on her own glory, and making halting strides in the retrograde path of oblivion. But a spark from the altar of SEVENTY SIX, unextinguished and unextinguishable, through that long night of error, is again lighting up, in every part of the union, the genuine flame of rational liberty.
As the French revolution advanced it fixed the attention of the world, and drew from the pen of Edmund Burke a furious attack. This brought me once more on the public theatre of politics & occasioned the pamphlet RIGHTS OF MAN. It has the greatest run of any work ever published in the English language. The number of copies circulated in England, Scotland, and Ireland, besides translations into foreign languages, were between four and five hundred thousand.
The principles of that work were the same as those in COMMON SENSE, and the effect would have been the same in England, as it had been in America, could the vote of the nation been quietly taken, or had equal opportunities of consulting or acting existed. The only difference between the two works, was that the one was adapted to the local circumstances of England and the other to those of America. As to myself, I acted in both cases alike: I relinquished to the people of England, as I had done to those of America, all profits from the work. My reward existed in the ambition to do good, and in the independent happiness of my own mind.
But a faction, acting in disguise, was rising in America that had lost sight of first principles. They were beginning to contemplate government as a profitable monopoly, and the people as hereditary property. It is therefore no wonder that the RIGHTS OF MAN was attacked by that faction, and its author continually abused. But let them go on, give them rope enough and they will put an end to their own insignificance. There is too much common sense and independence in America to be long the dupe of any faction foreign or domestic.
But, in the midst of the freedom we enjoy, the licentiousness of the papers called federal (and I know not why they are called so, for they are in their principles anti-federal and despotic) are a dishonour to the character of the country, and an injury to its reputation and importance abroad. They represent the whole people of America as destitute of public principle and private manners. As to any injury they can do at home to those whom they abuse, or service they can render to those who employ them, it is to be set down to the account of noisy nothings. It is on themselves the disgrace recoils; for the reflection easily presents itself to every thinking mind, that those who abuse liberty when they possess it, would abuse power could they obtain it; and therefore they may as well take as a general motto for all such papers, WE, AND OUR PATRONS, ARE NOT FIT TO BE TRUSTED WITH POWER.
There is in America, more than in any other country, a large body of people who attend quietly to their farms, or follow their several occupations, who pay no regard to the clamours of anonymous scribbles, who think for themselves, and judge of government, not by the fury of newspaper writers, but by the prudent frugality of its measures, and the encouragement it gives to the improvement and prosperity of the country, and who, acting on their own judgment never come forward in an election but on some great occasion. When this body moves all the little barking of scribbling and witless curs pass for nothing. To say to this independent description of men you must turn out such or such persons at the next election, for they have taken off a great many taxes and lessened the expenses of government; they have dismissed my son, or my brother, or myself, from a lucrative office in which there was nothing to do, is to shew the cloven foot of faction, and preach the language of ill disguised mortification. In every part of the Union this faction is in the agonies of death,
and in proportion as its fate approaches it gnashes its teeth, and struggles. My arrival has struck it as with a hydrophobia; it is like the light of water to canine madness.
[The remainder of this letter was published in our paper of the 30th ult.]
From the Morning Chronicle.
NEW-YORK, November 25.
Sir, Though I have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with you, I flatter myself that the contents of this letter will preclude the necessity of an apology for addressing you.
It has been asserted in various publications that Mr. Burr, during the late election for President and Vice-President entered into negotiations and agreed to terms with the federal party, or with certain individuals of that party, with a view to advance himself to the office of President, to the exclusion of Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Burr, in a letter to Governor Bloomfield, dated the 21st Sept. last, declared that all such allegations were false & groundless; and the charges have been renewed in more recent publications, which point to you by name, as the person through whom such negotiations were carried on and terms concluded. It has now become interesting to a great portion of the community to be informed how far these assertions and charges have been authorized by you, or are warranted by your knowledge of facts.
Having received frequent anonymous communications for the Morning Chronicle, relative to these matters, and being unwilling to occupy the paper with vague and unsubstantiated conjectures or remarks on a subject of such importance, I am induced to apply directly to yourself as an authentic source of information. I do this with the more confidence, from a persuasion that you can have no wish to suffer false reports to circulate under the authority of your name, for mere party purposes; and that, in the actual posture of things, you cannot be averse to declare publicly and explicitly your agency, if any, in the business. I take the liberty therefore of requesting your written declaration to the points above stated, together with any circumstances you may be pleased to communicate, tending to establish the truth or fallhood of the charges in question.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your ob't serv't, P. IRVING. New-York, Nov. 24th 1802. David A. Ogden esq.
New-York, Nov. 24th, 1802.
Sir, Though I did not conceive it to be incumbent upon me, or in itself proper to notice a publication in a newspaper, in which my name was used without my permission or knowledge, yet I have no objection to reply to an enquiry which comes in the shape of that contained in your letter, and from a person of your standing in society.
I declare that my journey to the City of Washington, in the year 1800, was purely on private business, and without any understanding or concert whatever with Col. Burr, whom I met at the stage-office on his way to Trenton, not having had before the least intimation of such a meeting; and that I was not then, or at any time, charged by him with any commission or errand of a political nature. In the course of our journey no political conversation took place but of a general nature, and in the presence of the passengers.
When about to return from the City of Washington, two or three members of Congress, of the federal party, spoke to me about their views as to the election of President, desiring me to converse with Col. Burr on the subject, and to ascertain whether he would enter into terms. On my return to New-York I called on Col. Burr and communicated the above to him. He explicitly declined the explanation, and did neither propose nor agree to any terms. I had no other interview or communication with him on the subject, and so little was I satisfied with this, that in a letter which I soon afterwards wrote to a member of Congress, and which was the only one I wrote, I dissuaded from giving support to Col. Burr, and advised rather to acquiesce in the election of Mr. Jefferson, as the less dangerous man of the two, to that cause with which I believed the public interest to be inseparably connected.
There are no facts within my knowledge tending to establish the truth of the charges specified in your letter.
With due respect, I am, Sir, your ob't serv't, DAVID A. OGDEN.

"I am happy in having it in my power to inform you we have shaken off the old shackles of Territorial government, to become a state. The convention last evening finished the constitution, and have now under consideration, the proposition of congress.
"The general assembly is to consist of a senate and house of representatives, to be chosen by the people, the latter in the ratio of one for every six hundred---and the former to be in number equal to half the latter; so that our first assembly will consist of thirty-two representatives and sixteen senators. The representatives to be chosen annually, and the senators biennially, in such manner that one half the number shall go out every year---A representative must be 25 years of age, a citizen of the United States, and one year a resident of the county for which he is chosen. A senator must be 30 years of age, and have been a citizen of the United States and of his county two years.
"The salaries are as follows---To the governor, not exceeding one thousand dollars; each judge, one thousand; secretary five hundred; auditor, seven hundred and fifty; treasurer, four hundred and fifty; members of the general assembly, two dollars per day. Our next general assembly will be chosen in January, and meet early in March next. The governor will hold his office two years, and have power to grant reprieves &c. except in cases of impeachment---is required to see the laws faithfully executed---may convene the general assembly on special occasions---sign all grants---and contrary to our territorial plan, has nothing to do with legislation. The judicial power is vested in a supreme court, and court of common pleas for each county---three judges to compose each court. The supreme court will have appellate and original jurisdiction, in cases at common law, and in chancery---the judges of common pleas form also the orphan's court, and have jurisdiction in all probate and testamentary matters. The judges are to be appointed by joint ballot of both houses, and to continue in office seven years. The general court is to be held once a year in each county, and the court of common pleas as the law directs. The auditor, treasurer and secretary are to be chosen by a joint vote of both houses. Slavery is not to be admitted; but white people may indent themselves for any term, but blacks cannot for more than one year, except minors, who may indent themselves until the age of twenty-one. No person of colour emigrating to the state, can be entitled to suffrage, or to hold any office. No person is entitled to suffrage, who does not pay taxes, and as no poll tax is ever to be laid, persons who have no property will not be entitled to suffrage."

PROCLAMATION.
Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, President of the Italian Republic, to the Eighteen Cantons of the Helvetic Republic.
"St. Cloud, Sept. 30, 1802.
"Inhabitants of Helvetia,
"You have offered for two years past an afflicting spectacle. Opposite factions have successively obtained power, and have signalized their short lived empire by a system of partiality which displayed their weakness and want of ability. In the course of the year 1801-2, our government desired that the final number of French troops which were then in Helvetia should be withdrawn. The French Government eagerly seized the opportunity of honouring your independence; but soon after different parties agitated you with
new fury, and the blood of the Swiss was shed by the hands of Swiss. You have disputed for three years without coming to any agreement, and if you are left longer to yourselves, you will waste three years more and still without agreeing. Your history, besides, proves that your intestine wars have never been terminated, except by the efficacious intervention of France. It is true, that I had determined not to intermeddle in your affairs. I have constantly seen your different Governments ask advice of me, and follow it; and sometimes abuse my name, as it suited their interests and their passions. But as I neither can nor ought to remain insensible to the misfortunes to which you are a prey, I recall my resolution---I will be the Mediator of your differences, and my mediation shall be efficacious, as becomes the great people in whose name I speak. Five days after the notification of the present Proclamation, the Senate shall assemble at Berne. Every Magistrature formed at Berne since the capitulation, shall be dissolved, and shall cease to assemble, or exercise any authority. The Prefects shall return to their posts. All the Authorities which have been formed shall cease to assemble. The armed Assemblies shall disperse. The first and second Helvetic demi-brigades shall form the garrison of Berne. Those troops alone, which have been on the establishment for more than six months, shall remain under arms. Lastly all the individuals composing the Belligerent armies, and who are now under arms, shall deposit their arms at the municipality of their native Communes. The Senate shall send three deputies to Paris; each Canton may also send deputies. All those citizens who during three years past have been Landamans or Senators, or have successively occupied offices in the Central Authority, may repair to Paris, to give information as to the means of restoring union and tranquility, and conciliating all parties. For my part, I am entitled to expect that no town or commune, or body of men, will do any thing contrary to the dispositions I have made. Inhabitants of Helvetia, let your hopes revive. Your country is on the brink of a precipice: it will be immediately withdrawn from it: all good men will second this project. But if, what I cannot imagine, there is amongst you a great number of individuals who have too little virtue to sacrifice their passions and their prejudices to the love of their country; then, People of Helvetia, you have much degenerated from your fathers. Is there any man of sense who does not see that the mediation which I have charged myself with, is for Helvetia a benefit, conferred by that Providence, who, in the midst of so many overthrows and shocks, has always preserved the existence and the independence of your nation, and that this mediation is the only means which remains of saving both? For it is at length time you should consider, that if the patriotism and the union of your ancestors founded your Republic, the evil spirit of your factions, if it is continued, will infallibly destroy it; and it will be afflicting to think, that at an epoch when so many new Republics have been established, one of the most ancient should be destroyed.
(Signed) BONAPARTE. "By the First Consul, "The Secretary of State." (Signed) H. B. MARET."
PARIS, October 4.
Private Correspondence.
"The Aid-de-Camp to the First Consul, M. Rapp, set off last night for Switzerland. His orders are, to repair to Lausanne, and there to summon the Government to accompany him to Berne without an escort. This being done without any other inference, M. Rapp is to go through the several Cantons, summoning each of them to declare---"Whether they will be on terms of peace or of hostilities, with the French Republic?"
"General Ney, who so greatly distinguished himself in the army of Moreau, is to have the chief command of the troops which are destined to enter into Helvetia, in case of the slightest resistance being offered to the Messenger of the First Consul, in company with whom General Ney has departed. It is generally thought here, that the affair will be over in a fortnight, as from the terms which Bonaparte has employed, it is evident that he means not to suffer the honor of his Mediation to be sullied by any disrespectful delay!"
NEW-YORK, November 25.
Captain Pease of the Sch. John, who arrived here on Tuesday last from Turk's Island, and in 25 days from Cape Francois, informs, that the blacks had taken Fort Dauphine in the night by surprise, which they had burned; their force was very considerable and daily augmenting. The brigands were still in possession of Port-de-Paix. The French troops died very rapidly---a reinforcement was daily expected, as a fleet had been spoken off Porto-Rico, from France, bound to the Cape. Markets were remarkably dull at the Cape.
Intelligence of a very distressing nature, was received in town last evening, from Cape Francois---It states that the blacks had gained possession of all the military posts in the country, and completely environed the town; that the inhabitants were in the greatest consternation; that an embargo had taken place on all the vessels in the harbor, and preparations making for the embarkation of the inhabitants and troops, as an assault was momentarily expected.

FRENCH EVACUATED ST. DOMINGO.
Mr. Ballet, owner of the ship Perseus, arrived here yesterday from Jamaica, informs us, that just before he failed, news had been received there, by American vessels, that the French troops had evacuated the different fortified places of St. Domingo, in consequence of the formidable opposition of the blacks; and had gone to the Island of Tortuda, to wait for reinforcements. This information was generally believed at Kingston; at which port near thirty sail of American vessels had recently arrived from the different ports of that Island.
A letter from a gentleman at Gibraltar dated the 6th of Oct. last, received here yesterday, mentions that there are five ships of the line in that place; all of which on the 5th of Oct. had taken in six months provision and stores of all kinds, and were ordered to sea immediately. It was said they were going up the Mediterranean: It was so sudden a business, that the best informed people there were not able to tell the particulars of their destination. He adds, that it was evident some mischief was brewing as, on Thursday evening the 2d of October, a brig of war passed that place from Malta, she sent a boat with letters to the commandant of the fleet; after which the admiral proceeded to take in the above mentioned stores. And concludes his letter by saying, that every body talk of nothing but WAR.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
WILL AND BET, The Cottagers of Park Place. From a London Paper.
WHEN Summer's genial days are gone, And Winter puts her liv'ry on, Of all the funs that ever let, Be mine, ye fates, like Will and Bet.
The time has been—tho' now it's past, That she in Beauty's mould was cast: Her eye still beams—a dimple yet Recalls the envy'd smiles of Bet.
The time has been—it is no more! That Will a wrestler's figure bore; Nor yet he's bent with age—and still There is an air that graces Will,
A loving heart survives in both, And years have crown'd the nuptial oath: She to this day is William's pet, And he the idol of Bet.
A competence of rustic fare, In this delightful cot they share; Their grateful thanks no boon forget, Your Smiles are paid by Will and Bet.
No fame that Conway had achiev'd, A wreath so brilliant has receiv'd, As when his name can spread the net, For pride of heart in Will or Bet.
"Yes—it was here," said Will, he sat "There—Will (said he) lay down my hat; Though out of place we must not fret, But laugh and chat with you and Bet."
"In all that bear the shape of men, We ne'er shall see his like again; For him the poor man's tears are wet, They lov'd him—just like me and Bet."
"Your Honour sees in this old girl, A wife that is the husband's pearl; Nor wines nor dainties here you'll get, The heart is all in Will and Bet."
It is not here that age declines, And ploughs the cheek in furrow'd lines; 'Tis Peace and Conscience out of debt, That Pays with Time—in Will and Bet.
ANECDOTE.
An irregular apprentice frequently keeping late hours, his master, at length, took occasion to apply some weighty arguments to convince him of the "error of his ways." During the chastisement, he continually exclaimed, "How long will you serve the devil?" The boy replied, whimpering—"You know best sir—I believe my indentures will be out in THREE MONTHS!"
