PROSPECT OF POLITICS.
GERMANY.
The advance of the enemy in the circle of Suabia has met with but little opposition since the date to which our last retrospect extends. The gazette of Tuesday night was looked for with eager expectation by the friends of the minister, that they might have an opportunity of extracting some consolatory intelligence to countervail, in a small degree at least, the uniformity of the misadventures which the Austrians had hitherto encountered. The general retreat of the Austrians before the victorious Moreau, form a predominant feature even in the memoirs of Mr. Wickham himself: but luckily for them a note was inserted towards the close of the dispatch, in which he hastily announces that the French had been defeated in their attack upon Gen. Kray, who was at the period of the battle, in the act of retreating from Memmingen to Ulm, that they had been driven beyond the former post; and that in consequence of this success general Melas had been stationed at Memmingen, to keep open the communication between general Kray and prince Reuss, in the Voralberg.
Whether it be owing to the extreme precipitation with which Mr. Wickham sends off his dispatches, on the first moment of prosperity, without waiting to know the consequence with which such prosperity may be attended; or to any degree of fatality that has of late hung over him we cannot determine; but there is no instance, in the course of the present campaign, in which we have not had more reason eventually to weep than to rejoice at all the good tidings he has had the satisfaction of communicating. It is so in the present instance and the joy which the first publication of this victory of gen. Kray's produced, in the bosoms of those who had political faith enough to accredit it, was soon converted into bitterness of heart. It is probable that Moreau's advanced guard might have been discomfited in its first onset with Kray between Ulm and Memmingen, and might have been compelled to fall back even beyond the latter post; but there can be no doubt, both from letters in the last Hamburg mail, as well as from the official statements in the French papers, that the Austrians were in their turn compelled to retreat and to pass with all possible expedition towards Ulm, at which post they are now expecting the concentrated force of the French army of the Rhine; and behind which Kray is at this moment waiting for fresh subsidiary forces from Bavaria in the pay of the British Cabinet, and for those under the command of general Starry.
In the meanwhile prince Reuss, so far from being able to maintain himself, by an open communication with general Kray, in the Voralberg, has been under the necessity of falling back into the Tyrol, and leaving the passages into Italy completely free to the enemy. While general Vandamme upon whom the command of Lacourbe's division has devolved in consequence of the illness of the latter, has completely cleared the Banks of the Lake of Constance, has destroyed the famous flotilla of colonel Williams, & is confidently reported to have carried the advantageous post of Feldkirch. In consequence of these important and laborious successes, Moreau appears now to be relaxing for a short time to recruit the extreme fatigue his army must necessarily have sustained, and his positions were on the 13th instant to the following effect; the right wing under Lacourbe, at Memmingen, the centre commanded by Moreau in person between Biberach and the Iller, with the headquarters at the former; the left wing under St. Cyr, and advancing upon the right bank of the Danube, towards Ulm, the corps under St. Susanne advancing towards the same spot on the left bank. In the course of this commencement of the campaign Moreau has not only completely defeated the plans of his opponent, and destroyed at least half of his forces, but he has taken possession of such immense magazines of stores and provisions, as to render it unnecessary to burthen France with any import on his own account during the present season, and actually
ally to have sent a million and a half of rations of bread to Italy. Contrary to the usual occurrences in the seat of war, provisions indeed, have fallen one half since the entrance of the French into Suabia.
What may be the next masterly step undertaken by Moreau is impossible to conjecture; Ulm at present is his object, but whether he means merely to threaten it, or actually to attack it, in order to keep the whole of general Kray's forces employed at that point, we know not. It is well known that Carnot, who is, perhaps, unrivalled in military designs, had a conference with him at Biberach, immediately after the battle of the 9th, and it is highly probable that the great scale of future operations was then decided upon. Carnot in his return home, saw Buonaparte at Lausanne, stopped at Dijon, to give directions for the organization of the new army of reserve, and completed the whole of this important tour with all its complicated business, in little more than ten days.
ITALY.
Few events of more brilliancy have occurred in the course of the present war, than the rapid passage over the Alps, with artillery and cavalry, by the army of reserve, at this early period of the year. This army appears to be making an uninterrupted progress towards Turin; and it is probable that a division of it will be left behind for the purpose of siege or bombardment. The main body, however, will obviously continue to press forward to the relief of Massena, who still remains shut up in Genoa, with the Austrian lines drawn somewhat closer around him, notwithstanding the repetition of perpetual, & often of successful sallies. But the system of tactics, if system it may be called, that has of late been manifested by Melas, has astonished the politicians of every party.—Endangered as his whole army must be of having its retreat totally cut off, by the rapid progress of the army of reserve thro' Piedmont, and not having a sufficient body of troops to defend himself against this new army and that of Massena and Souchet, who upon the first retrograde movement would instantly unite, the conduct universally expected from him was, that he would relinquish the blockade of Genoa, and gradually fall back towards Milan.—But instead of falling back, he has left a corps under the command of general Ott, to continue the blockade of Genoa, and with the main body of his army has been advancing to the very confines of Provence. Souchet has obstructed him in this extraordinary progress towards the French territories, and several actions have ensued, which have terminated in the perpetual, but orderly retreat of the French general. In the Hamburg mail of yesterday morning which extends to the first instant in its account of the transactions in Italy, Melas was threatening Nice by his approach, but appears to be strongly opposed as well by Souchet as by powerful levies of the people en masse . The wisest step Souchet can take is, to retreat, and draw Melas towards the department of Var, while the army of reserve is marching towards the Milanese, and thus obtains every chance of cutting off his supplies and retreat.
It is extremely difficult to account for this extraordinary step of Melas, but it is generally attributed to the scheme which the British Cabinet long since proposed of making an eruption into France. From the quarter to which Melas seems now hastening in the full expectation of being joined by the promised British armament, & the corps of Conde, which, as our readers well know, on the abandonment of Russia, was taken into British pay, and was to have been headed in the expedition by the princes of France. The whole of this expedition, however like those which have antecedently failed, has completely failed; and we have now the additional disgrace and mortification of hazarding the loss of the whole army under general Melas, by so ill constructed a project. At the time Melas left Genoa, it is impossible he could have known of our inability to support him, or of the disasters in Germany. He must undoubtedly have heard of the advance of the army of reserve, but he may have regarded such a pretension on the part of Buonaparte as a mere stratagem to recal him from his object; or he may have expected such assistance from Germany as should render him competent to confront this army, if it actually
had advanced. His confidence, however, in the British Cabinet will probably prove his ruin.
EGYPT.
A most extraordinary and unexpected event has occurred in this quarter since the date of the report communicated in our last retrospect; and that general Kleber, who resided behind with his army, and did not accompany the officers that have already reached Toulon has had an engagement with the army of the Grand Vizier and actually slaughtered 10,000 of them, and routed all the rest, who have ever since been flying in every possible direction. The cause of this unexpected event remains, likewise, at present involved in much mystery; but this is also generally referred to the politics of the Cabinet of Great Britain. The common report is, that on the arrival of the French troops at Alexandria, for embarkation, they found the port blocked up by lord Keith, in consequence of the convention of sir Sidney Smith not having been ratified at home. All, therefore, that remained to be done, was, to prohibit immediately the entrance of the Turkish army into Cairo: to retain possession of the forts not surrendered; and to hazard a general engagement. This was probably a rencontre the Turks as little expected as the French themselves; and, undisciplined and unprepared as they were, their whole armament, collected at such an infinite expence, and requiring such a long period of time for arrangement, has been completely cut to pieces, and all Egypt once more become the unrecalled possession of France. There is another report, however, in the mail of yesterday morning, that the engagement was brought on in consequence of the Turks having massacred, in cold blood, a large body of French soldiers, and many of their men of letters.
GREAT BRITAIN.
We have to congratulate our countrymen on the safe arrival of the homeward bound East-India fleet, under convoy of his majesty's frigate L'Oiseau. The levee has been uncommonly thronged with royal addresses, in consequence of the king's late providential escape. In parliament, the adultery bill, which, with very severe opposition, has just passed through the house of lords, has been read twice in the commons, but we think will not eventually pass in that chamber. The income bill has at length passed, and is now before the upper house; it has suffered a variation with respect both to farmers and the office of commercial commissioners, who are now to take cognizance of all incomes from 200l per ann. and upwards. Still we see no reason why those incomes are below this sum, should not be allowed an equal privilege and power of secrecy with the incomes of those who are more wealthy. It will be a law certainly bearing harder upon the lower orders than the upper.
After the delusory and wayward politics which have been displayed of late in the cabinet of Peterburgh, no one can be surprised at any event which may occur in future, in proportion as the emperor hath withdrawn himself from the theatre of war, he has proved himself lukewarm, to use no harsher a term, in his friendship towards this country. He is long known to have interrupted lord Wentworth in his intercourse with the British cabinet, and he has now, we find, actually recalled his own ambassador from the British court; on what account this last step has been taken, or by what it may be succeeded, it is more easy to conjecture, than it might be prudent to predict. It is well known that a treaty of alliance has been already ratified between himself and the king of Prussia, for the purpose of terminating the present hostilities on the continent; and he has publicly declared he withdrew from the scene of warfare, because he did not choose to be made the dupe of the ambition of Austria, or the views, whatever they may be, of the British cabinet.
Italy.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, May 18.
A considerable body of Austrians is stationed near Asola, to observe the movements of the French in Savoy and the Valais. Gen. Vukassovich, it is said, has penetrated into Switzerland by way of Mount St. Gothard. On the approach of the Austrians, the French suddenly
removed their magazines and hospitals.
The city of Leghorn has voluntarily sent a large supply of provisions to the corps of the Imperial army blockading Genoa.
Germany.
AUGSBURG, May 20.
The corps of prince Reuss is still at Renti; his patrols are pushed on as far as Immenstadt. The fortresses Kuten is supplied with provisions. Gen. Jeilachich and gen. Aussenberg have stationed 5000 men to guard the frontiers of the Tyrol, towards the Voralberg. Gen. Hiller has his head-quarters at Coire; he is entrusted with the defence of the Grisons; he is to act in concert with the corps of Gen. Dedovich in Italy.
The citizens of Ulm have been directed to take every thing that is combustible from the roofs of their houses, and there is no doubt but the Austrians expect that city to be immediately bombarded. On the 18th, the French patrols were pushed on as far as Mindelheim. In the evening, after a skirmish at Krumbach, some of the French were made prisoners. A corps under the command of Gen. Vandamme, was yesterday in the environs of Mindel, and is supposed to be marching against Burgau. A dreadful cannonade has been heard this day, in the direction of Ulm. The Austrians have strongly entrenched Geislingen and the road to Ulm.
Almost all the princes, nobility, and prelates of Suabia, have fled; part of them have sought refuge in Germany, and part of them in France. Immense numbers are daily flying by Heidenheim, to Anspach, from Ulm, Biberach and Memmingen.
Letters from Ingolstadt announce that a considerable supply of ammunition, provisions, and military stores, had reached that place.
ULM, May 21.
Our apprehensions of a bombardment of this city by the French, have vanished. The French begin to withdraw from their positions in our neighbourhood, and are followed by the Imperialists.
The division of Lorge and other troops have been detached from Moreau's army to reinforce the army of reserve under gen. Berthier.
The Imperial army in Suabia now amounting to 100,000 men, is particularly strong in Cavalry, and has a considerable number of fresh troops.
Evening. —This morning the army has been officially informed, in general orders, that on the 11th inst. our troops had entered Nice, and that on the 13th Genoa had begun to capitulate.
This day the centre of our army was engaged with the enemy, the advantage being now on one side: then on the other. Towards evening the roaring of cannon appeared more distant, which is considered as a favorable sign.
TYROL, May 18.
The head-quarters of prince general Reuss, have again advanced from Reuty to Fuesen, since there is no longer any necessity for being closer to the frontiers of Tyrol. All the passes are strongly guarded by the militia, and the whole of the armed peasants have orders to hold themselves in readiness.
According to the latest accounts, prince Reuss, will soon commence offensive operations, conjointly with the troops near Feldkirch and Coire.
FRANKFORT, May 22.
It seems to be perfectly well ascertained that there exists some seed of rebellion in the Austrian army. Two Hungarian regiments, whom Gen. Kray had charged with some very dangerous service, have refused to obey, alleging the impossibility Hungary was under of furnishing a sufficient number of recruits to replace them, in case they should prove unsuccessful. They likewise observed they were ready to serve the Emperor with their lives and fortunes, in all wars against the Porte, which nearly interest their country—but that the war which they were now carrying on, was wholly unconnected with these interests. Gen. Kray seeing he was unable to gain over their resistance, resolved to have recourse to force, and ordered them to be surrounded. The Hungarians then form

ed themselves into a square, and declared they would perish, sooner than yield. Gen Kray thought it more advisable to withdraw his order than to persist in it; but the next day he incorporated these regiments with other corps. A similar scene lately took place at Ulm; the Austrian troops expressed the greatest repugnance to the further continuance of the war.
May 24.
Letters from Ulm, of the 21st, just received here, state, that the imperial army is rapidly advancing, closely following the French on their retreat. Several engagements were fought on the 19th and 20th, in the environs of Blauburen, which terminated in favor of the Austrians.
SWABIA, May 23.
The expedition which the Imperialists have undertaken from Italy against the south of Switzerland, to the canton of Uri, obliges the French to send reinforcements thither from Suabia, to prevent the Imperialists from occupying Switzerland in their rear. From the Grison country, the Austrian troops also penetrate farther into Switzerland.
STUTGARD, May 21.
We are informed that the French army is extending itself more and more upon the left in front of Ulm. The division of Legrand, though repulsed on the 16th advanced anew on the 17th bending its course by the road which leads from Gifflingen to Ulm. The plan of gen. Moreau appears to be to turn Ulm on this side, and particularly the Frauenberg. His head-quarters were in the night of the 11th and 18th at Schelklingen.
Since the 12th several more French detachments have passed to Tuttlingen. On the 16th arrived there sixty carriages laden with ammunition from Kehl, and which were escorted by 3000 men. The ammunition will be sent to Molskirch and Riedlingen, from thence to be forwarded to the Danube. The troops will take the route of Engen and Schaffhausen, on their road for Zurich, from whence they will most probably pass into Italy.
The division of general Lorge, belonging to the army of Moreau, has also the same destination. It was expected on the 19th at Schaffhausen. We hear from the latter place, of the date of the 15th, that the French troops which ascended the eastern banks of the Lake Constance arrived on the 12th at Lindau. They joined near Halmenkirch those which were in the Rhinetal. After having possessed themselves at Bregenz of the vessels which composed the fleet of col. Williams, they directed their course towards Algau.
The two commandants of Hohenweil, gen. Dillinger, and lieut. gen. Wolf, arrived here some days ago. An aid-de-camp has signified to them that they were arrested and two grenadiers have been stationed at their gate: their swords have been taken from them. Wolf has said, in his justification, that when Hohenweil was surrounded, it was besieged by 16,000 French troops who were on the point of commencing the assault, that farther he had stipulated that at the peace this fortress shall be given to Württemberg; and all the riches found in it shall be given up to its owners.
STRASBURG, May 23.
Extract of a letter from the French Head-quarters of Bahenhausen, dated May 17.
"It appeared that the enemy did not mean to guard Ulm, but merely to throw a garrison into that fortress. They have changed their plan. The wings of the army of the Rhine which was to have marched to Augsburg, remains in the environs. It will soon come to an engagement, in which the right wing will probably have no share. They have begun to levy contributions, which have served to discharge part of the pay of the army. The best means have been taken to prevent this money from being embezzled, and appropriated to private uses.
May 25.
According to the last advices from the army of the Rhine, of the 19th May, the head-quarters of Moreau were at Delmefingen, the place which he occupied after the famous retreat which has immortalized that general. The Austrians desert in such numbers, that a victory more would entirely dissolve their army. Although it is said the elector of Bavaria is sending all his troops against the French it is thought however that he understands his own interest too well to act so. A letter from the head-quarters of the army of the Rhine announces, that Stzarry, after having attacked, with a three fold superior force, gen. Suzanne who blockades Ulm on the left, has been repulsed with very great loss. The French are still encamp-
ed round Ulm. It is not known that there will be an engagement there.
GUNSBERG, May 21.
Yesterday morning the French made another attack on the position of the Austrians, with a violent cannonade, towards Solfingen. After several fruitless attempts to penetrate through the Blauthal, the enemy were obliged to retreat towards noon, leaving behind them many killed and wounded, and nearly 160 prisoners. The Austrians are again at Ebingen.
France.
PARIS, May 30.
An American frigate, placed by the government of the United States at the disposal of their ministers plenipotentiary has entered the road of Havre. A French pilot was sent on board to conduct her into the harbor; but as late as the 24th she remains in her former anchorage.
Yesterday peace was the order of the day, and nothing was heard but wishes of peace—Undoubtedly, a peace cannot arrive too soon; but in the present posture of affairs, it might be supposed that the Austrians would be the first to talk of it.
It is evident on the one hand, that the army of reserve pursues its march with success, and on the other, that Genoa will hold out longer than is necessary to re-establish the fortune of our arms in Italy, while Moreau keeps in check and defeats the Imperial forces in Germany; we receive intelligence that he is marching against Augsburg, leaving Ulm blockaded.
June 1.
The Ratisbon Mercury announces, that Gen. Kray is drawing his forces towards the Tyrol, to succour Italy.
The Gazette of Augsburg states, that Prince Reuss is gone to Inspruck, to demand succours from the governor of the Tyrol, for the defence of that country.
We are assured that the negotiations with the ministers of the United States, of America, at Paris, are advancing rapidly to an amicable conclusion.
ANTIBES, May 15.
The Austrians have evacuated Nice. They entered the city on the 6th, at 3 in the afternoon. We are again upon the Var, the ancient boundary of France. Yesterday morning we were again attacked by four battalions of Grenadiers, three of Piedmontese, two regiments of Hungarian hussars, and a large body of irregular cavalry. The rain fell in torrents and the wind drove it in our faces. Rochambeau commanded us, and the defence of the bridge was entrusted to him. The enemy was completely repulsed; they lost a great many killed, and left 150 prisoners in our hands, the most of whom are men of rank. In the evening we learnt that general Melas had arrived at Nice the evening before, with from ten to twelve thousand men. We expected a fresh attack this morning, and as our out posts touched those of the enemy, we passed the night under arms. To our utter astonishment, we saw the Austrian columns file off through the mountains on the road to Coni. This precipitate retreat can only be occasioned by the motions of the army of reserve. We have no intelligence from Massena, who seems to be still blockaded up in Genoa.
Office of the Minister of War.
The chief of the General Staff of the army of Italy, writes to the minister of War from Nice, under the date of the 10th of May.
"I have the honor to inform you of the agreeable intelligence which I have this moment received from Gen. Massena.
"In the night of the 3d and 4th, this general made a sortie on Voltri, completely defeated the enemy, and took from them 1800 prisoners; in that of the 4th and 5th 3000, which, added to the 7000 that he had before taken, gives a total of 11,500 prisoners.
"His resources in provisions are secured. He is besides perfectly seconded by the inhabitants of Genoa, who are in the best disposition towards him.
"The minister at war has been informed from other quarters, that the city of Genoa was victualled for thirty days, on the 5th May, and that different supplies continued to reach him.

BERN, May 18.
The marching of French troops through the Vallais still continues. Operations will be carried on in that country and
thro' Savoy, against Mount Cenis, at the same time. General Moncey, is now with the active army, and Montchoisy commands in his room in the interior of Switzerland.
Yesterday the 17th and 30th half brigades of light troops passed through Lucern, the imperialists have advanced near Mount St. Gothard. From Holland 4000 men are very shortly expected in Switzerland.
The passes of the Grison country, the Luciensteig and Chur, are yet occupied by the Imperialists, where they are in great force.
If Moreau had not obtained possession of so many magazines in Suabia, the French army in Italy would not have been able to subsist.
It is now known, that the principal object of Carnot's journey to gen. Moreau's head-quarters has been to induce him to send 10,000 men to the army of general Berthier.
ARMY of the RHINE.
Bern, May 12.
In a letter from general Lecourbe to general Moncey, the former states, that in the battle of Stockach, there were 15,000 killed on both sides, and that 8000 Austrians were taken prisoners—The town of Stockach, magazines, and a considerable artillery, are in our power.—The Austrian army is in full retreat to Ulm, to which we are advancing to give them a last battle.

Lexington, August 14.
BRITISH AGGRESSIONS.
Information that may be depended on, has been received from a gentleman at New-York, that the British cruisers on the Halifax station, are determined to capture and send in for adjudication, all vessels bound from the United States to other than British ports in Europe, having on board any property of a French Spanish, or Dutch settlement.
Lancaster Journal. NAPPER TANDY.
The trial of Napper Tandy came on in the court of king's bench, at Dublin the 16th May, when Sir J. Crauford, the British resident at Hamburg, having proved that the prisoner would have sufficient time for taking the benefit of the fugitive bill had he not been arrested, the jury found a verdict of acquittal. It is understood that he will be tried for high treason, as his acquittal amounts only to a declaration that he does not come within the force of the act which adjudged him and others therein named, to be guilty, unless they surrender before a determined time.
General Melas, on summoning Massena to surrender the city of Genoa, wrote to him in the following terms:—
"General, "Fortune not having crowned your bravery, which entitles you to my esteem, and to that of the whole world. With but a small number of men, you was forced to give way to my exertions, and you did it with honor. But I think it is time to listen to the voice of humanity.—General Suchet has yesterday been defeated at St. Giacomo, and you have no longer any hopes to resist my forces. You will be accountable for the blood that shall be shed hereafter, and you will complete the miseries of a people who have already suffered so much.
"The city is exposed to the greatest calamities; it is menaced by pillage and all the horrors of war, if the country people should enter it with fury in their hearts without a capitulation having previously been concluded. I cannot entirely answer for my victorious troops.—Listen to the voice of humanity, and sacrifice the glory of having defended yourself to the last drop of blood, to the true glory and to the admiration which no one will then deny you.—I offer you the most honorable capitulation which a warrior of your character merits, to prove to you the esteem and the most perfect respect with which I am, &c.
To which general Massena returned the following answer:
"Head-quarters at Genoa. April 21. "General, I have received the letter which you have done me the honor to write me, and by which you offer me an honorable capitulation. General, I am not yet reduced to that situation. I have still a sufficiency of troops to enable me to defend myself, although general Suchet may have been beaten, which I have good reason to believe is not the case.

Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by M'BEAN and 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 obstructions 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 Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw 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 some times privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sicknefs at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lownefs of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and washed.
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 familiar 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 seemed 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.

INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent 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 sometimes 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, purrid fevers, 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 loth 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 averred 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 secretion—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—fickness 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 sovereign 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 sovereign 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.
A liberal allowance to purchasers by the dozen or gross, by application to LEE & Co. Baltimore.
Taken up by the subscriber, living on Chapline's fork of Salt river, Mercer county, a dark brown Horse, three or four years old, thirteen hands and a half high, has a star and fin, and his mane trimmed, and tail swab docked, trots natural, no brand perceivable, had on a large cracked bell, tied on with a string.

BASLE, May 21.
Prisoners of war continue to pass by in great numbers, and without interruption. The number of prisoners already taken, since the opening of the campaign, is estimated at 17,000. It is moreover confidently asserted, that there exists an embryo of rebellion in the Austrian army, and that it daily swells into magnitude. Two Hungarian regiments have lately declared that they would no longer take a part in the field of battle, because, as they observe, after inauspicious beginnings, the troops are unable to re-assure and re-establish themselves. It also appears that there is some disagreement among the generals.
Feldkirch, of which the French are now in possession, is the key of Grambundlen, of the Tyrol, and of the Reinthal; during the last campaign, it firmly resisted the reiterated attack of Massena. The French have advanced towards Coire—immense magazines were taken at Feldkirch—at Bregenz a large quantity of provision of every kind fell into the hands of the French. After the taking of Bregenz, the Austrians retired to Langenzargen, with some pieces of artillery; but the next day the French attacked this important post, and carried it. Those who came to reconnoitre the country, laid down their arms and retired. The same took place in the Voralberg.
NATCHEZ, June 28.
We stop the press to give the report of a gentleman who arrived in town yesterday, direct from New-Orleans—he says accounts had been received there, that Bowles had by the assistance of 4000 Indians, taken Apalacha, and a galley belonging to that place. We hope we will be able to give our readers a more ample statement in our next.
NEW-YORK, July 23.
It is reported, that private letters received by the Factor, announce an event of high consequence to Europe. It is, that Russia, Prussia, and the French Republic, have associated to oppose the British and Austrians. Our enquiries to trace the source from whence this report originated, have not afforded any satisfactory authority for its belief. The equivocal demeanor of the king of Prussia, and the sudden return of the Russian troops from Italy, are the only circumstances which tend to lessen the improbability of such an occurrence.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
TO-MORROW.
Delusive shade of future joys! Whole fancied bliss the soul deceives, Then mocks our pain and sorrow! Tho' oft deceiv'd the sanguine mind Still forward looks, and hopes to find More real bliss to-morrow.
Ask the fond infant how or why Refrains from tears his harmless eye, No sighs his bosom harrow, When by his side a parent lies In death!—The innocent replies, She'll wake again to-morrow.
You smile—but pause!—your thought re- call— Vain hope makes children of us all; Here wisdom's bounds are narrow! More vain than childhood's puerile fchemes, Are half mankind's deceptions dreams Of happiness to-morrow.
The miser, buried 'midst his ore, Tho' warn'd by age to crave no more, Tho' years his visage furrow— Still mocks the pleadings of distress, And cries, with rapture, "I'll possess A million, clear, to-morrow."
Hold—selfish wretch!—the hand of Death, E'en now, is rais'd to grasp thy breath, And whelm thy soul in horror! Ere morn, thy form shall lie, as cold, As senseless as thy darling gold: Who'll count thy wealth to-morrow?
Young Damon smil'd, when o'er the tide His lov'd, his native land he spy'd: He bade adieu to sorrow; "I see," he cry'd "my long lost home, "My Laura dwells beneath yon dome, "I'll meet her arms to-morrow."
But, ere night veils the watery world, By boist'rous winds his barque is hurl'd, Death frowns with ghastly horror: O'erwhelm'd beneath the boiling deep, He "links to everlasting sleep," And breathes no more to-morrow!
The prodigal, devoid of fear, To-day pursues his wild career, And time and cash will borrow; "All this," he cries, "I'll soon repay: "I will reform some future day.— A jail his lot to-morrow!
"To-day!" cries Tom, "O! how it grieves "My soul, to pore o'er musty leaves, "And my poor brains thus harrow; "Tis but a day—then, pleasure, come, "Thro' thy enchanting paths I'll roam, "And study more to-morrow."
Mistaken youth! improve to-day, Nor throw thy precious hours away: Neglect engenders sorrow; Youth fades, as rainbows mock the view, The spring of life soon bids adieu— Old age is but to-morrow.
In human life, thro' ev'ry stage, Fresh infancy to tot'ring age, To day is found too narrow, For man's pursuit, some wider field Is sought—and virtue's cause must yield, Each day, until to-morrow.
Thus wrote ACASIO: Night now shed Her influence o'er his drowsy head: Sleep call'd him to his burrow; The god of Infatuation was near, And whisper'd slyly in his ear, "Come—write the rest to-morrow." ACASIO.
