CONSTANTINOPLE, May 13.
The news of the war having broken out again in Egypt has proved very detrimental to our merchants, who had many speculations for that country, the granary of Turkey, with which the commercial intercourse had been interrupted for 18 months. It is now known that the blockade of the Port of Alexandria had been the principal cause of gen. Kleber's taking up arms again. He applied to the grand Vizier; to whom, however, fir Sidney Smith declared, that in his last dispatches he had been strictly enjoined, to continue the blockade of Alexandria, and not to suffer a single Frenchman to quit Egypt. In consequence of this, (as is already known) general Kleber attacked and defeated the grand Vizier, and the French are again in possession of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Many of the vessels freighted for Alexandria and Cairo have since been unladen; and those ships that had been hired by the Porte, to convey the French from Egypt, have received a small indemnification. Several deputies, among others the late treasurer of Cairo, Globi Effendi, have arrived here, to remonstrate against the impediments thrown in the way of the French, to prevent their departure from Egypt; in consequence of which a Divan was held, at which the Grand Seigneur himself was present.

Head-quarters, 23d June.
The skilful and bold movements of the general in chief have determined general Kray to abandon Ulm to a small garrison. General Moreau has left the division Richepanse before that place.
Yesterday we again drove away the enemy, who is retreating, after vigorously defending himself in a narrow pass. This circumstance did not, however, prevent his being cut off, and rendering his situation worse than ever.
In consequence, he has sent us this morning a parley, to announce that the First Consul had concluded an armistice in Italy; and that it must be general; but as the general in chief has not been officially informed of it, that will not stop him. He will continue to beat the enemy; it is the surest way to have peace.

Milan, 4th Messidor. Year 3.
A Turkish embassador has arrived at Genoa by way of Leghorn, in an English frigate. He has informed admiral Keith of the events in Egypt, and of the deplorable situation of the Grand Vizier, who is beyond the Desert.
General Pichegrue has been destined to
command a corps which are to penetrate into France! It is to be regretted that a man who has rendered such great services to the Republic, should fully his glory by such miserable intrigues.
General Souchet arrived before Genoa, at Campo-Morone, the 30th Brumaire in a lucky hour. After several parleys with gen. Hohenzollern, he has signed a convention similar to that of Alessandria.
Buonaparte has re-established and reorganized the University of Pavia.
Letter of the Minister of the Interior to the mother of General Delfaix.
We have conquered Maringo; that victory is a preface of the peace of the world.
"I have the honor to send you the arrete of the Consuls of the Republic; the vaults of the temple of Mars in Paris, will proudly arch over the trophies which the Republic erects to your son—and the heights of Mount St. Bernard will exhibit them to view at the same time to victorious France and liberated Italy.
"I hasten, madam, to send you the first medal stamped in honor of Delfaix: by laying it under the basis of the column of the 14th of July, the mother of the hero will be associated to our homage.
"Receive the assurance and the testimony of the sentiments which fills our souls."
"An age always limits the life of many; but his glory can devour ages.

MILAN, 5th Messidor, (June 24.) Kellerman, brigadier-general to general Dupont, chief of the Staff.
H. Q. 5th Messidor (June 22)
My General,
I hasten to inform you that the city of Genoa will only be evacuated on the 24th inst. I have seen Gen. Hohenzollern, who has acknowledged the receipt of Gen. Melas's orders to deliver the city and forts of Genoa to the French troops, with the stores and artillery agreed upon on the 24th June, at 4 o'clock, A. M. He has given me assurances, of which I cannot entertain a doubt, that the orders he has received would be executed by him, with all the scrupulousness and loyalty possible, although he does not conceal his disapprobation of the convention of which Melas had given him no knowledge.
You may then remain easy on his account, as on that of the English who were ready to put to sea yesterday, but who depart in very bad humor; they wanted to take away all the stores and artillery, but general Hohenzollern, refused to accede, and even marched two battalions to prevent them. We cannot but praise his candor, and the Genoise themselves have no cause to complain against him.
The English take with them all the grain that is not unloaded. Sixty thousand loads (charges) are to be exported from Genoa to Leghorn, although the merchants have offered 6 livres per load extra. This time the spite of the English has overcome their avarice, and lord Keith declared that he would more strictly than ever blockade the port and riviera, to revenge himself of our victories on this innocent city.
Yesterday gen. Willet embarked with a corps, composed of a few adventurers, paid by the English. Pichegru had been momentarily expected. This intelligence I have from the count de Bussy. They imposed a contribution of 10,000,000 livres on Genoa, of which it has already paid 200,000.
The city has suffered cruelly, but has still preserved its attachment for the French; as soon as the convention was signed the people began to wear the cockade, which caused some disturbance, that was soon appeased; the officers of the line are allowed to wear it.
Greeting and respect,
KELLERMAN.

FRANKFORT, June 22.
We are officially authorized to announce to the public, that 30 battalions of infantry, under the orders of his royal highness the archduke Charles, are col-
lecting on the Inn; and that 10,000 men of Hungarian cavalry, now assembled near Breisberg, will advance to support that army.
June 25.
Extract of a private letter.
One of the numerous German Gazettes, assures us that the archduke Charles lately received a courier from Vienna, at his place of retirement in Bohemia, charged with dispatches from the emperor, his brother, in which he earnestly prays him to resume the command of the Imperial army in Germany. At the same time the prince received a deputation from the states of Bohemia, announcing to him that if he will return to the head of the army, that kingdom will furnish voluntarily an augmentation of twenty thousand recruits completely equipped. Prince Charles, adds the German journalist, has been extremely charmed with these marks of esteem and confidence: he has thanked affectionately the states of Bohemia; and has replied to the emperor that he will consent to take the command of the army only on the following conditions, viz. that he himself compose the general staff of the army; that he have the uncontrouled direction of the military operations—and that the Aulic council of war, shall have nothing to do with the plan of the campaign.
The whole of the Prussian army of observation designed to make the neutrality of upper Germany respected, which is posted between the Weiser and the Rhine, is in complete motion, for the last 4 or 5 days with a view of changing all its positions. One part is marching into the bishoprick of Munster, and towards the frontiers of the Batavian republic. From another quarter we learn that several regiments of Hanoverian cavalry and infantry are again newly arrived on the frontiers of the elector of Hanover, and within the neighborhood of Bremen and Oldenburg, where they are this moment encamped.
All the French prisoners of war taken during the last campaign, and who remained in Hungary, Bohemia, and Moravia, are exchanged for an equal number of Austrian prisoners. They will be conveyed by transports of from 5 to 600 men within the neighborhood of Mannheim and Frankfort, that the exchange may be more easily executed.
STRASBURG, 7th Messidor.
The German Gazettes of the 5th Messidor contain all the details of the affair which took place near Donauworth. The papers of Stuttgart, of the 3d Messidor, report, that on the 30th Brumaire a large body of armed French, estimated at 20 or 30,000 men, passed the Danube at three points, between Ulm and Donauworth. The troops of Wirtemberg have been the principal sufferers on this occasion, and as well as the Austrian troops have been forced to retire, after considerable loss. By this defeat the Imperial army finds itself separated into two parts, & the corps of gen. Kray is separated from that of Starray. Gen. Kray had no sooner heard of the check which Starray had received than he left Ulm and transported his head-quarters to Ellwengen. He has quitted the neighborhood of Ulm with a corps of reserve which he commanded in person, but he has left a strong force in the garrison; he has given orders to his corps to direct its march towards Ulm, Ellwengen, and Dinkelspiel on the Nurembergh. The French, after having repulsed the Imperialists, the Wirtemberghers, and the Bavarians, extended themselves on the night of the 30th, towards Heidenheim and Aalen. They occupy Donauworth, Dillingen, Lauingen, Gundfingen, Steinheim, Giengen, Wittlingen and Obermengen.
Mr. Wickham has been again at Vienna.—We believe that he wished to prevent the evils which have befallen the armies of Kray from being imputed to the minister Thugut, and that he would support the minister with all his credit. In the mean time he presses the raising of the recruits, and the march of all the disposable troops. He has just concluded a subsidiary treaty with the prince of Lowenstein, by which that prince is to furnish a corps of infantry and another of chasseurs to be in the pay of England.
Lieut. Gen. St. Suzenna continues here, but it is said he is shortly to depart at the head of 25 or 30,000 men, with
which he will pass the Rhine at Mayence will disperse the Mayence troops in the pay of England occupy the duchy of Wirtemberg, and will leave a corps before Phillipburgh. This rests not on mere report. The Gazettes do not doubt it, and add, that the garrison of Luxemburg, a body of cavalry arrived from Belgium and the division of Carreaux, are marching to Mayence to oppose the enterprizes which the Austrians may be making on the Lower Rhine.

RICHMOND, August 22.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in Boston, dated June 24, 1800.
"DEAR SIR,—I have forwarded to you per the ship Five Brothers, files of the Courier and Morning Chronicle (London papers) from the 13th to the 24th inst. as they contain official intelligence of the latest date, and of the highest political consequence. I forbear to make any particular comments on the natural consequences which may be expected to result from operations so extensive and astonishing, especially as you will be able to recur to editorial remarks, and the opinions of the first politicians on this side of the Atlantic, in order to assist your own reflections on the subject. Since the news of events detailed in these papers reached London, the public mind seems to have been occupied by nothing else. Commerce, which in ordinary times seems exclusively to engage the attention of the greater part of this community, appears at present to have yielded to considerations of a much higher and more interesting nature. In the opinion of intelligent men, the great question which has so long agitated and convulsed Europe, is now rapidly tending to a conclusion. After a perusal of the papers, you can, I think, have but little doubt that the decision must be in favour of the great Republican cause, and that the mighty phalanx of Royalty, which has been so long gathering on the continent to oppose the progress of Liberty must soon be scattered and dispersed beyond the hope of recovery. I know not what impressions may be produced on your side of the water, by these events, but here the cause of Despotism, is considered if not wholly lost, to be at least in a state of desperation. You may determine a man's politics by a glance at his countenance, as you pass him in the street. Indeed the disasters of the Royal coalition, and the triumph of the Republican armies, are almost as intelligibly expressed by the lengthened visage and downcast look of a British politician, as if they were reflected by a telegraph, or proclaimed by a herald. The first appearance of Buonaparte and his army on the plains of Piedmont, or within the walls of Milan, can have produced little more surprise and consternation amongst the Italians and Austrians than has been excited here by the history of his glorious campaign. I am happy, however, to discover, that the confusion and disappointment which prevail amongst the minions of despotism, is nearly equalled by the exultation which is felt, if not openly avowed, by many people here. The fate of Italy is unquestionably decided—a Peace with Germany can hardly fail to be the consequence—this effected it must be their own fault if the French do not take good care of their good friends the English, so indeed as to leave no doubt on the mind of Mr. Pitt, that the consul at Paris is the very man he "petends" to be. Having fully and satisfactorily ascertained who and what Mr. Buonaparte is, it is to be presumed the British Minister will be able to conjure up no further excuse for not yielding to the general exclamation in favor of PEACE.—If, however, he should require more plenary evidence of the fact in question, and be satisfied with nothing short of "confirmation strong as holy writ" it is not improbable that the "young upstart Corlican" may make a visit to Ireland, or by crossing the Channel, remove every remaining scruple by a personal conference with the British Cabinet in their own dominions."
August 26.
We do not believe the accounts mentioned that a suspension of the negotia-

tion between our commissioners and those of France has taken place; because they come through letters received at St. Sebastian, stating the contents of letters received at Bourdeaux from Paris, while the journals of that place of a very late date, are quite silent upon the subject. We shall not however be long in suspense; as we hear that the ship Columbus, has arrived at New-York, in 60 days from Rochelle, with dispatches for government from our ministers.
Lexington, September 16.
On the 4th inst. the city of Chareston was a great sufferer by fire—sixteen houses, besides other property, were entirely consumed. The total loss of the citizens by this disastrous event, is not estimated, but it must have been very considerable.
A letter from Owington, on Ponobscot river, of the 24th July, informs, "That great damage had been done there by fire—some thousands of acres, and a number of fields of grain having been entirely burnt up—it caught by lightning, on a mountrin, and burnt two days travel. Some wild beasts, moose, &c. perished." Jenks' Port. Gaz.

BERLIN, June 17.
Extract from a private letter.
Count de Luzi set off the fourteenth day of June, as Prussian Envoy extraordinary to the court of Petersburg.
Mehemed Essendi Bey Essendi, charge d'affaires of the Ottoman Porte to the Court of Prussia, arrived this morning at Berlin.
It is asserted that the Czar has forbidden the importation of English merchandise into Russia; that he is putting himself in a formidable state of defence by sea; and that a confederacy is said to be forming among the northern powers, to repress the depredations which, without regard for any flag, are daily committing by the British.
STRASBURG, June 23.
Yesterday we received a telegraphic account from the Rhine, that Lecourbe has forced the passage of the Danube near Blenheim and Dillingen, made 4000 prisoners and taken four stand of colours and fourteen pieces of cannon. The indefatigable gen. Lecourbe had then after the taking of Augsburg, repassed the Lech, advanced along the Danube, near Donauworth. The date is not given in the telegraphic bulletin, but there is reason to believe this affair took place on the 19th, and that it was the corps of general Sztarray, which had already suffered very much the 14th, near Gunzburg, that was again beaten. General Sztarray had, in consequence of the battle of the 14th, passed the Danube at Gunzburg, of which place the French possessed themselves the 16th, and approached Dillingen. A French column then conceived the bold attempt to possess itself of the park of Austrian artillery established at Hoechstadt, consisting of more than 200 pieces of artillery, but it escaped it.
In the night, between the 15th and 16th, it was carried with precipitation towards Heidenheim, behind the centre of the imperial army. The commandant of Donauworth, not secure in his position had orders, in case of attack, to fall back, and take a position between Gundelingen and Heidenheim. The imperial army was on the point of abandoning the right bank of the Rhine to withdraw itself to the left. By the late victory of Lecourbe, on the 9th, the Austrian army has been obliged to effect this movement. There are, then, no longer any Austrians on the right bank of the Danube, and the French have it in their power to pursue them beyond that river when they shall judge proper.
June 27.
Suchet, lieutenant general, to count Hohenzoollern, commanding the Austrian troops at Genoa.
Head-Quarters, Cornegliano, 2d Messidor, (June 21) year 8.
General,
I am informed that the English, in contempt of the treaty concluded with the general in chief Massena, are taking away the artillery from the arsenal, and the greatest part of the vessels from the port. Thus an unfortunate people, a stranger, from its weakness, to all our quarrels, finds itself deprived of its dearest hopes.
It is in presence of two armies, equally generous, that we permit, general, a nation to be thus spoiled.
I knew that your alliance with the English might be a check on your own generous sentiments. But give to the 7th article of the convention the interpretation which it merits. I invite you to cede to me, in the course of this day, the post of the Lanterne and that of the Mole. In this manner the orders you have received from the general in chief Melas will
experience no alteration, and it would enable me to prevent the ruin of an unfortunate state. I expect from the Austrian loyalty, and especially from yours, general, that you will answer me in a satisfactory manner.
(Signed)
L. G. SUCHET.
Copy of the answer written to lieutenant General Suchet by the commandant of the Austrian troops of Genoa.
Head-Quarters, Genoa, June 21. Lieutenant General,
The English have not touched a cannon, I would even oppose force to it. I am to restore them to you. The affair of the port has been terminated at my instance. At this moment, I alone am still the protector of Genoa, and I wish to carry that title along with me.
I have not received the capitulation, nor even the arrangement which you do me the honor to mention: perhaps it is an error. My orders are to deliver the place to you on the 24th, with its artillery, and half of the provisions. I will execute it. As to the remainder, M. de Melas will make what arrangements he pleases: but, above all, it is myself that must be accountable for my conduct to his majesty, in whose name I command here. My garrison, who has no desire to surrender, would never forgive me were I to give up one post before the time. I wish, general, to preserve its esteem, and yours also.
Tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I will send an officer to you to conclude the ulterior arrangements.
I give you my word that you shall have possession of the forts on the 23d, and the city on the 24th.
The English also will leave the port. The admiral assures me of it, and you may rely on my word.
I am incapable of deception; and I will anew cause the cannon to be guarded, notwithstanding there is no risk. I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, lieutenant general, your very humble and obedient servant.

BALTIMORE, August 23.
Arrived, ship Defiance capt. Smith, 39 days from Cadiz.
In the Defiance came passenger Mr. Iz-nardi, American Consul for the port of Cadiz. The chat of the town on the arrival of the above gentleman, was, that our commissioners had concluded a treaty with France, and that he was the bearer of the articles! on waiting on him, we learnt that his latest advices from Paris were only to the 22d of June, which said the Envoys had embarked on board the Portsmouth, having accomplished the object of their mission. [This we know from later information not to be accurate.] A circumstance which induces him to think the negotiation was favorably progressing was that about a week before sailing, he applied to the French Consul for a passport; but was refused unless he should take passage on board an unarmed vessel, on these terms it was rejected. A few days afterwards a passport was delivered to him by the Consul, with permission to
embark on board an armed one; and he observed at the same time, that he hoped the two nations would shortly be friends again.
PHILADELPHIA, August 23.
The Board of Health of Baltimore have published an account of the state of that city, whereby it appears that there were 117 persons sick at Fell's Point, on the 22d inst. of whom 12 were dangerously ill.
The number of deaths in Baltimore were on the 21st inst. 10. 22d 10. 23d 17. 24th 11. 25th 8.
On the 25th of August there were 63 persons sick, of which 18 were new cases that had occurred that day.
Letters from Norfolk state that town to be more unhealthy than it has been known since it was settled, Ten persons have died in one day.
The United States schooner Enterprise, lieut. Shaw, has lately taken two French privateers, viz. the schooner l'Aigle, mounting ten guns and 80 men, and the schooner Flambeaux, of twelve guns and 98 men. The Flambeaux, engaged the enterprise nearly two glasses, when having her foremast shot away, and the Enterprise being about to board, she struck her colours. L'Aigle was engaged 15 minutes, and had several men killed and wounded; among the former was the first lieutenant during her last cruise, she had captured American property to the amount of 295,000 dollars. The Enterprise in both these actions lost none of her crew.

"We have just received information, that bears every stamp of authenticity, that the inhabitants of the Southern part seeing the necessity of making terms with the commander in chief, have opened the gates of Aux Cayes to receive his army."
"It is further added, that Rigaud finding himself abandoned, embarked with all his staff on board a small pilot boat schooner from Les Irois, but where destined is unknown."
"I have just had an interview with the commandant of this town, who assures me that tho' he has not received the official details, the news comes in such a manner, as to merit belief."
Extract of a letter from Currao, dated 2d August, 1800.
"On Wednesday the 23d ult. an armed force arrived from Guadalupe, consisting of 3 brigs and 3 schooners bringing with them about 1500 soldiers, sailors, &c. which together with the Vengeance's crew, made about 2000 men. To this moment I cannot learn that they have made any other demand than the government to be given over to them, which the government has refused, & has taken measures to repel force, if that should be attempted. The burghers are under arms day and night. It is said (and it appears probable to me) that their view is to raise money, but to what amount I do not know. They have landed the troops on the opposite side of the harbor to the fort some days ago; but I do not learn that they have done any thing towards fortifying themselves. They are yet very quiet, and excellent discipline is observed by the officers."

MANN'S LICK. A Large Quantity of CLEAN, DRY, SALT for SALE. John Speed. Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by MACBEAN & POYZER, at the Store formerly occupied by Mr. Robert Barr, Lexington, the following Valuable
MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from foulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels. A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady; or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Ties or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Some times pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES, SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, City of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true. In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed: but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they ceased to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable. Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, palpitations, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very noxious medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loath for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH, Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE. For the prevention and cure of Billious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS PILLS, Which have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in
several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. The 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 produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance—They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A foreign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the cure of a Certain Disease.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the unskillful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE, An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER, A foreign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR, For the cure of every kind of Head-Ache, &c. &c.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES.
"Be greatly cautious of your sliding hearts." THOMPSON.
Is man, whom nature meant the Females guard, So blind to passion, so to reason dead, As from his breast all feeling to discard, And plant in virgin hearts the source of grief?
'Tis then seduction! fount of varied woe, Who blabs the joys which social life attend; Fee to the sex, and to thyself a foe, Thou robb'st thyself, when thou estrang'd a friend.
She who the "primrose path of dalliance" treads, Whose youthful heart beats high for novel scenes, Who careless follows where her wooer leads, And fears no evil, because none she means.
Will find that female honor is a prize, Which treacherous lovers covet to destroy, That all the retortick of tears and sighs, To blast sweet virtue will their force employ.
Be then the guardians of yourselves, ye fair! Since men thine ambus'd enemies appear; And watch each flutter of your hearts with care, Least partial love betray you thro' a tear.
Detest the monster who your peace invades--- Who smiles to injure, and whose heart is bale--- Who mocks remonstrance, and your name degrades, And last consigns you to your own disgrace.
'Tis Flattery's hyblean tongue, and syren charms, Which oft affails, successfully your hearts--- 'Tis flattery's magic lures you to its arms, And faps your virtue by its thousand arts.
Fountain of ills is flattery to the fair: It speaks a language which enraps the heart--- Its founds enrapture, but dissolves in air, And neither truth nor happiness impart.
To glittering belles who seek to spread your fame, By dissipation's uncontrol'd expense, Know that all beauty is at best--a name, And fades at once with loss of innocence.
Adorn your minds; be that your chief employ, Few moments squander at the mirror's shrine: And trust the poet, you will then enjoy, What wealth nor power would tempt you to resign.
ANECDOTE.
The charming prattle of the fair sex has certainly been specially granted them by nature, as a relief to their confinement and sedentary occupations. It is unjust, therefore, and cruel, to censure their propensity to chat. A learned and ingenious friar lately preaching to a convent of nuns on Easter day, assured them, that our Saviour when he arose, appeared first to a woman, THAT THE NEWS OF HIS RESURRECTION MIGHT BE THE SOONER SPREAD ABROAD.
