Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the affairs of the city of Washington, which have heretofore been under the care and superintendence of the said commissioners, shall hereafter be under the direction of a superintendent, to be appointed by, and to be under the control of the President of the United States; and the said superintendent is hereby invested with all powers, and shall hereafter perform all duties, which the said commissioners are now vested with, or are required to perform by, or in virtue of any act of Congress, or any act of the general assembly of Maryland, or any deed or deeds of trust from the original proprietors of the lots in the said city, or in any other manner whatsoever.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the said commissioners shall forthwith settle with the accounting officers of the treasury their accounts for all monies received and expended by them in their capacity as commissioners, and shall immediately thereafter pay to the said superintendent any balance which may be found against them upon such settlement.

Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the said superintendent shall, prior to the first day of November next, sell under the direction of the President of the United States, all the lots in the said city, which were sold antecedent to the sixth day of May, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, and which the said commissioners are authorised by law to re-sell, in consequence of a failure on the part of the purchasers, to comply with their contracts; and the monies arising thereupon shall be applied, on or before the first day of November next, to the payment of the sum of fifty thousand dollars and the interest thereon to the state of Maryland, which said sum was formerly loaned by the said state to the commissioners for the use of the city of Washington: Provided, that if a sufficient sum to meet the objects last aforesaid, shall not be produced by the sale of the whole of the lots aforesaid, then so much money as may be necessary to provide for the deficiency, is hereby appropriated, and shall be paid out of any money in the treasury of the United States, not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That after the debts already contracted by the commissioners shall have been discharged, all monies advanced out of the treasury in pursuance of this act, shall be reimbursed by the said superintendent, by paying into the treasury all monies arising from the city funds,
until the whole sum advanced, with the interest thereon, shall be repaid.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That so much of the act entitled, "An act to establish the temporary and permanent seat of government of the United States, passed on the sixteenth day of July, in the year seventeen hundred and ninety, as relates to the appointment of commissioners, shall be and the same is hereby repealed.

From the Gazette de France.
Every body, perhaps, has not remarked with the same attention a passage in the first dispatches from General Leclerc, in which he observes, that the guns, cannon, and powder which were found at the Cape, were furnished by the United States of America.
Perhaps it would be unjust to found upon this circumstance a serious reproach against a government supposed to be attached to France by principles, by interest, and by a just sense of gratitude. But if we connect this fact with several other things; if we apply it to a general system of politics adopted by the United States under the Presidency of Mr. Jefferson's predecessor, the abovementioned passage in General Leclerc's letter may not appear insignificant.
Some months ago we published in this paper an anecdote, which, though it remained unknown for a long time, did not the less deserve serious attention. It related to an interview which took place at St. Domingo between Toussaint Louverture and the commercial agent of the United States, at the moment in which the result of the famous battle of Marengo had been made known. The plan of the American government was then to act in concert with the British; to determine the Negro General to declare the independence of St. Domingo; & that was one of the principal instructions of the Commercial Agent. Conferences continued to take place upon this subject, when Toussaint, informed of what had taken place in Italy, changed his resolution on all at once, and cried out in accents of despair—Moi pas connoitre ca quelvevenir—mais Maringo la tuer moi.—(I know not what all this will produce: but this Maringo kills me) and upon this the negotiation was put an end to, or at least suspended.
That Mr. Jefferson, became since President of the Federal Government, has not followed the political system of his predecessor—that he has adopted a mode of conduct less Machiavellian, appears incontestible. But the ideas, either more or less liberal, of a man who is placed for a time at the head of an elective government, ought not to be of any weight in the judgement which may be formed upon the order of things to which he belongs eventually; and when it is necessary to examine the general interests and situation of America, the private opinion of Mr. Jefferson becomes almost a matter of indifference.
If we pay attention to the rapid increase of the population, the industry, trade, and wealth of the United States, we cannot avoid foreseeing that that power is destined one day to rule over the new world, and to place under its yoke all the West India Colonies. Is it not the interest of Europe to endeavor, while it is yet time, to remove that epoch to a greater distance; and does not policy require that there should be established as soon as possible upon the continent of America, a barrier against the presumed ambition of a people to whom nature has promised the empire of half the world.
The idea of re-attaching Louisiana to the domain of France is perhaps, of all political conceptions, the wilful and most important. England herself could not avoid applauding the plan of establishing on the terra firma of America, an European power capable of opposing an impenetrable barrier to the torrent which might one day, without that precaution spread from North to South, cover Mexico, the West Indies, Canada, and shut Europe out from the passage of the Atlantic. Spain, enfeebled, has too many distant possessions to defend and preserve, to keep the United States confined within its present limits. Great Britain herself is not in a condition to form a military establishment upon Terra Firma, capable of infuring the pretensions and rights of Europe upon that part of the world.
It is true that the government of the Union has promised to other nations to remain within its present limits. But do we not know, that in politics the execution of these kinds of promises remains always subordinate to a multitude of events and circumstances which cannot be foreseen? And besides, though the Federal Government should renounce for a century all system of aggrandisement, is it nothing to occupy a territory extensive enough for the support of 100 millions of inhabitants? Is it nothing to rule over 500 leagues of maritime coast, to have isles under the eye and hand, to reign upon the Atlantic, and to see itself separated from the South Sea only by savage nations ready to receive the yoke from whatever power shall appear before them in arms? What means this project of civilizing the Indian tribes; and to whom would these people belong but to the government who takes upon itself to polish them, and which has no rival to fear, being itself alone established in the centre of the new world.
Let it not then be imagined that the plan of uniting Louisiana to the dominion of the French republic is dictated by ambition, or that it is part of a pure and simple system of
aggrandisement. The preservation of the European possessions in the West Indies has rendered this plan necessary; and the interests of all the maritime powers of Europe, is to see the strongest amongst them form an establishment on the continent of America, sufficiently imposing and important to serve as a counterpoise to the domination of the United States.

VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACLEAN & POYZER, will in future be sold by Mr. NATHANIEL HART, only, in Lexington, Messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Sore Throats and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOPING 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.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS.
For the Cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in an hundred had occasion to take more than one, numbers not half a bottle.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Henry C. Smith, Kent County, Delaware.
"I have given the ague drops to a number of patients this fall, and with constant success; in some obstinate cases they acted like a charm, the diseases yielding in a day or two to this remedy, after resisting the barks for months, and when they had been thrown in the largest doses."
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
Forcibly removing them root and branch without giving pain.
DR. HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures. Juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immediate use of sea-frequent intoxication, or any other distraction of temperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And it is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Nervous disorders, Consumption, Indigestion, Lowness of spirits, Melancholy, Loss of appetite, Relaxations, Impurities of the blood, Involuntary emissions, Hysterical affections, Obstinate gleets, Inward weakness, Fluor albus, &c.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and sending forth from that organ new health and vigour into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without endangering it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores the neutralization which immediate evacuations have destroyed and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old strains, and relaxations, numbness and weakness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chilblains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold and windy complaints in the stomach and bowels, flying pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experience sufficiently prove the superiority of the above medicines over all others, in the cure of the maladies we have enumerated.
Letter from Dr. Weatherburn. Wythe county, Virg. October 7, 1801.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you all Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease.
If you think this letter may be useful, you are at liberty to make it public.
P. WEATHERBURN.
Messrs. R. LEE & Co.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite to procure 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. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
PERSIAN LOTION.
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe is an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, from corrosive and replent minerals, (the basis of other lotion) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sunburns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration, which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, render the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, defluxions of rheums, dullness, itching, and films which eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers & wonderfully strengthening a weak light—Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE.
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and chapped lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR.
For the cure of all kinds of Head Ache.
FOR THE CURE OF VENEREAL COMPLAINTS.
The patent Indian Vegetable Specific, prepared by Dr. Leroux.
CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Description of worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz the Terec, or large round worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat white worm, the Ascarides or small many worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape. This is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning, bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation or speech—staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—purging, with thin and fetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs with lowness of spirits—flow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excess of thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
This medicine, which is innocent and mild, as it is certain and effectual in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, with out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders proceed.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance and an agreeable taste.
As upwards one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, and of every age, have received benefit from this extraordinary medicine, a multitude of certificates of cures may be seen, in addition to those already published.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is like wise the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint—particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Letter from Mr. Benj. Williams, No. 52, Baltimore street, two doors above South-Gay street.
Gentlemen,
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in the summer; frequently afflicted with a paroxysm convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasting fast, his breath became fetid, an almost constant itching of the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore was successively procured. Each of these gentlemen in their turn declared worms to be the cause of his disorder, and exhausted their skill in attempts to expel them, pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours. I had frequently heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but like many others, did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moor) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make a trial of them. I accordingly gave my son a dose, agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about 12 inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worm appeared. The child recovered, and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJ. WILLIAMS. Messrs. Richd. Lee, & Co.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH.
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.

(From a New-York paper.)
On the evening of the 29th April, when the illuminations took place in London on account of the peace, the house of William Cobbett, book-seller, in Pall-mall (the notorious Peter Porcupine) in consistency with the same spirit of anti-pacific darkness which distinguished it on former illuminations for the signature of preliminaries, remained inexorably opaque. The mob, with equal constancy, took umbrage, and vented their indignation on the windows, sashes, shutters, and every thing about the front of the house that was not impregnable to bludgeons and paving stones.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ORIGINAL.
THE MOURNER,
In imitation of the stile of SIMONIDES.
SAD o'er the past my wand'ring fancy flies, And shadow'd dreams like midnight spectres rise; When guileless youth that liv'd in other years, Knew no corroding ill, no boding fears; Walk'd pensive on, indulging golden dreams, Nor felt one gloomy thought to dash his schemes— On Hope's bald eagle wing it soar'd sublime, Nor knew what ills are borne by cank'ring time. To me whose sun has reach'd her highest noon, Ah! fancy's airy dreams have fled too soon; Dark recollection bears my soul away, And wild imagination claims the sway. When yielding pleasure laur'd ev'ry care, And led my wand'ring steps to court the fair— Ah! then, 'twas bliss her golden myrtle wove, And Cypridan shades entic'd my soul to love. To these lov'd scenes, when keen-cy'd memory flies, Hope, her companion, languishes and dies. Now none no more the pensive walk beguiles, To think on beauty's charms, and count her smiles. For me no more the woodland warblers sing, Nor the mild morn her early zephyrs bring. No more for me the nut-brown forests rise, Shoot their tall heads and mingle with the skies. The wood-rose cannot spring where e're I rov'd, Emblem of innocence and her I lov'd. The seasons fade, and all the host of heaven Grow darkling dim, by wild confusions driven. So speaks the Mourner when his hope has flown, And all his circling years of Joy are gone.
ANECDOTE.
At the time when there was an agreement among the Irish people, not to import English manufactures of any kind, in order to bring England to a compliance with their demands for a free trade, the mate of a vessel, laden with London porter, filled up a couple of cans with the liquor, and in the most insulting manner marched up the wharf, crying out, "Here's meat, drink and clothing, you rascals." A coal-heaver coolly walking up, gave him a blow, which laid him sprawling in the gutter—"And there," says he, "honey, you are now provided for—there's washing and lodging for you."
