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 Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Taenia, 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 fluny and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness 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—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.
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 flimy 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, putrid 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 nauseous medicine, and it soon taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost 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-BILIOUS PILLS,
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Peterburg, 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 coliciness—sickness at the stomach, and feverish head aches—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRCAT OF MUSTARD,
For the Cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swelling, &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 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 fore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by Colds, Fevers, &c. speedy 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.

The tails of several Pachas have been taken at Matharich, Belbeys, and Salachich.
After the battle of Heliopolis the troops marched to retake Damietta; which had been given up to the Turks in consequence of the convention. Twelve hundred Osmanlis were killed there.—The remainder fled by Lake Menzale & the desert.
September 20.
The Paris journals represent the preparations of Spain against Portugal as immense. The Spanish army they say, is on the point of marching: it consists of 70,000 infantry, and 8000 cavalry. The General in chief is M. d'Urata. They assert that he will be able to com-
mence hostilities by the middle of October, and the court of Lisbon has nothing to oppose to such a formidable army; it is boasted that the expedition will not last more than a month, unless the Portuguese government should prevent the fate that awaits it, by concluding a speedy peace with the French Republic.
The Peterburg Gazette, of the 18th ult. announces that a Russian fleet of 25 sail of the line, is now fitting out to cruise in the Baltic.
An overland dispatch was received from Bombay on Wednesday last. We learn that accounts have been received from the upper part of the Red Sea, which state that the French have placed Suez in a tolerable tenable situation; and that they have strengthened it, particularly towards the sea face.
October 3.
The news of the death of General Menou, in Egypt, (says a letter from Constantinople, of the 25th of August) is not confirmed. Accounts arrived direct from the camp at Jaffa, make no mention of it. They announce the continuation of the preparations for resuming operations against Egypt—The Captain Pacha is again cruising before Alexandria—a reinforcement of 20,000 Albanians, part of which has already arrived at Joppa, will increase the Turkish army to 50,000 men. The Asiatic cavalry already amounts to 20,000 men, exclusive of the reinforcements brought by the son of Baltan-Pacha. The Captain Pacha, who on leaving Joppa failed to Cyprus, accompanied by Sir Sidney Smith, to obtain a supply of provisions, has resumed his station before Alexandria, where he is to wait the arrival of the light vessels which assist in making diversions along the coast. Hassan Bey, the commander of Rhodes, who served with the Admiral, having had his leg fractured by an accident, had been obliged to return to the island.
The Grand Seigneur went in state on the 11th of August to Levend Teisch, half way to the Bosphorus, to be present at different military evolutions, which the new levies, who had been instructed in the European tactics, and quartered in that place, executed before him. His highness appeared satisfied with the precision of their manœuvres, and particularly those of the artillery, in the sham attack and defence of a redoubt, which was at length carried by assault. The two divisions red and blue, of the Bosnians, formed about 3000 men to whom the Grand Seigneur caused to be distributed fifteen puries in testimony of his satisfaction.
Ghezzar Pacha is still fortified in Acre, from which he does not stir. He had added to his preparations of defence when the Captain Pacha appeared on the coasts of Palestine, and touched at Jaffa.
October 4.
The French Minister Alquier and gen. Berthier appear to have overcome the repugnance of the Court of Madrid to a French expedition against Portugal. It would seem that our government is not without its fears with respect to the present situation of our ally; for the count De La Rosiere, a General Officer of artillery in the British service, received orders to set out for Portugal yesterday, and to cause a vessel to be got ready for him should he find the packet failed. The occasion of this sudden order is said to be that information has been received that two columns of French troops have already passed thro' the frontiers of Spain, and that they are preceded by twenty-four staff officers, who are going to Madrid to join Gen. Berthier.
A Spanish army of 70,000 infantry and 3000 cavalry is said to be already on its march for Portugal. Some accounts say there are many French officers in it. It is expected operations against Portugal will commence by the middle of October.
The following is said to be the station of the Brell fleet.—It is divided into two squadrons, or lines; one without the harbour, composed of 8 three deckers, and four ships of 90 guns. The second consists of seventeen ships of 74 each. Both squadrons have springs to their cables. In the Bay of Boscaovel, there are eleven 74's and one ship of 80, with springs on their cables, to answer either lines, and each ship has 400 troops ready to be disembarked, to reinforce the camp of Quelerne which consists of 3000 men. The lines at Quelerne, are 650 toises in length, and are defended by 72 pieces of artillery of large calibre. The intrenchments are remarkably strong.
The Grand Vizier's army is said to be again reinforced to 60,000 men, and that he is ready to advance against Cairo.
Two large Russian armies, it is officially announced in the Peterburgh Gazette,
amounting together to 120,000 men were collecting on the Russian frontier, of Volhynia and Luthia; and the co-operation of Prussia is also expected. A few days will shew us how far the assistance of those powers will be necessary.
A Russian fleet of twenty-five sail of the line, and a proportionate number of frigates and cutters, is fitting out at Peterburgh, to cruise in the Baltic.
Very active naval preparations are also making in Sweden; and lord Whitworth has sailed from Copenhagen, in the Voctor sloop of war, for Stockholm, in order, no doubt, in the first instance, to come to an explanation with that court upon the subject. Some accounts add, that his lordship again returned to Copenhagen on the 11th ult.

PHILADELPHIA, November 20.
FROM CURRACOA.
On Sunday arrived from New-York, the schooner Virago, in 20 days from Curracoca.
We are informed, that during the time the French were there, the Dutch Governor sent out to an English frigate cruising on that station, called the Narcide, to request assistance. The Captain of which sent down to Jamaica to know what was to be done, and request further aid: in the mean time two American sloops of war arrived, and on their appearance in the harbor, and giving assistance to the Dutch, the French retired to the north side of the island, and embarked for Gaudaloupe; the English frigate then returned, and insisted on taking possession of the fort, as the governor had sent for their assistance, and 20 marines from the frigate actually took possession of Curracoca, the governor having entered into capitulation with the English to that effect. Soon after several frigates arrived from Jamaica, and having taken full possession of the town, forts, &c. ordered all the American vessels to be sent down to Jamaica for adjudication; and notwithstanding the treaty they made with the governor to respect all Dutch property, they immediately put the broad arrow on all the stores which contained cocoa, indigo and cotton, alleging as it was Spanish produce, it must be consigned to them from the main, and was therefore Spanish property—the proof of which would be decided by adjudication in the court at Jamaica.
Mr. Philips, the American consul at Curracoca, during the troubles, obtained permission from the captain of an English frigate, to send on board for safety, about 16,000 dollars, when the battle was over, he applied for his money, and was told the court at Jamaica would decide who owned the property.

NORFOLK, November 11.
Extract of a letter from New-Providence to a gentleman in this Borough, dated October 28th.
"Before this can reach you, you will have heard that the British cruisers have orders to capture all neutrals with cargoes, or any part of their cargoes, the production of a country the enemy of Great Britain, unless bound home where they
belong, or to Great Britain or Ireland. This, I am afraid, will cause great uneasiness in the United States. There are several vessels sent in lately, merely and cause part of their cargoes were sugar or coffee, bound to Spain.

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
Congress of the United States.
WASHINGTON CITY,
SATURDAY, NOV. 22.
This day at 12 o'clock, the president of the United States met both houses of congress in the senate chamber, and delivered the following
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:
Immediately after the adjournment of Congress, at their last session in Philadelphia, I gave directions, in compliance with the laws for the removal of the public offices, records and property. These directions have been executed and the public officers have since resided, and conducted the ordinary business of the government in this place.
I congratulate the people of the United States on the assembling of congress at the permanent seat of their government, and I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the prospect of a residence not to be changed. Although there is cause to apprehend that accommodations are not now so complete as might be wished, yet there is great reason to believe, that the inconvenience will cease with the present session.
It would be unbecoming the representatives of this nation, to assemble for the first time in this solemn temple, without looking up to the supreme ruler of the universe, and imploring his blessing. May this territory be the residence of virtue and happiness. In this city may that piety and virtue, that wisdom and magnanimity, that constancy and self government, which adorned the character, whose name it bears, be forever held in veneration. Here and throughout our country may simple manners, pure morals and true religion flourish forever.
It is with you, gentlemen, to consider whether the local powers over the district of Columbia, vested by the constitution in the congress of the United States, shall be immediately exercised. If in your opinion this important trust ought now to be executed, you cannot fail, while performing it, to take into view the future probable situation of the territory, for the happiness of which you are about to provide. You will consider it as the capital of a great nation, advancing with unexampled rapidity in arts, in commerce, in wealth, and in population, and possessing within itself those energies and resources, which, if not thrown away or lamentably misdirected, secure to it a long course of prosperity and self-government.
In compliance with a law of the last session of congress, the officers and soldiers of the temporary army have been discharged. It affords real pleasure to recollect the honorable testimony they gave of the patriotic motives, which brought them into the service of their country, by the readiness and regularity with which they returned to the station of private citizens.
It is in every point of view of such primary importance, to carry the laws into prompt and faithful execution, and to render that part of the administration of justice, which the constitution and laws devolve on the Federal courts, as convenient to the people, as may consist with their present circumstances, that I cannot omit once more to recommend to your serious consideration the judiciary system of the United States. No subject is more interesting than this to the public happiness, and to none can those improvements, which may have been suggested by experience, be more beneficially applied.
A treaty of amity and commerce with the king of Prussia has been concluded

and ratified. The ratifications have been exchanged, and I have directed the treaty to be promulgated by proclamation.
The difficulties, which suspended the execution of the 6th article of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation with Great Britain, have not yet been removed. The negotiation on this subject is still depending. As it must be for the interest and honor of both nations to adjust this difference with good faith, I indulge confidently the expectation, that the sincere endeavors of the government of the United States to bring it to an amicable termination, will not be disappointed.
The envoys extraordinary, and ministers plenipotentiary from the United States to France were received by the first consul with the respect due to their character, and three persons with equal powers were appointed to treat with them. Although at the date of the last official intelligence, the negotiation had not terminated, yet it is to be hoped that our efforts to effect an accommodation will at length meet with a success proportioned to the sincerity with which they have been so often repeated.
While our best endeavours for the preservation of harmony with all nations, will continue to be used, the experience of the world, our own experience admonish us of the insecurity of trusting too confidently to their success. We cannot without committing a dangerous imprudence, abandon those measures of self protection which are adapted to our situation, and to which, notwithstanding our pacific policy, the violence and injustice of others may again compel us to resort. While our vast extent of sea coast, the commercial and agricultural habits of our people, the great capital they will continue to trust on the ocean, suggest the system of defence, which will be most beneficial to ourselves, our distance from Europe and our resources of maritime strength will enable us to employ it with effect. Seasonable and systematic arrangements, so far as our resources will justify, for a Navy adapted to defensive war, and which may, in case of necessity, be quickly brought into use, seem to be as much recommended by a wise and true economy, as by a just regard for our future tranquility, for the safety of our shores, and for the protection of our property, committed to the ocean.
The present navy of the United States called suddenly into existence, by a great national exigency, has raised us in our own esteem, and by the protection afforded to our commerce, has effected, to the extent of our expectations, the objects for which it was created.
In connection with a navy, ought to be contemplated the fortification of some of our principal seaports and harbours. A variety of considerations which will readily suggest themselves, urge an attention to this measure of precaution. To give security to our principal ports, considerable sums have already been expended; but the works remain incomplete. It is for Congress to determine whether additional appropriations shall be made, in order to render competent to the intended purposes the fortifications which have been commenced.
The manufacture of arms within the United States will invite the attention of the national legislature. At a considerable expense to the public, this manufactory has been brought to such a state of maturity, as, with continued encouragement, will supercede the necessity of future importations from foreign countries.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
I shall direct the estimates of the appropriations necessary for the ensuing year, together with an account of the public revenue and expenditures, to a late period, to be laid before you. I observe with much satisfaction, that the product of the revenue, during the present year, has been more considerable, than during any former equal period. This result affords conclusive evidence of the great resources of this country, and of the wisdom and efficiency of the measures which have been adopted by congress, for the protection of commerce, and pacification of public credit.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
As one of the grand community of nations, our attention is irresistibly drawn to the important scenes which surround us. If they have exhibited an uncommon portion of calamity, it is the province of humanity to deplore, and of wisdom to avoid the causes which may have produced it. If, turning our eyes homeward, we find reason to rejoice at the prospect which presents itself; if we perceive the interior of our country prosperous, free and happy; if all enjoy in safety, under the protection of laws emanating only from the general will, the fruits of their own labor, we ought to fortify, and cling to those institutions which have been the source of such real felicity, and resist with unabating perseverance, the progress of those dangerous innovations, which may diminish their influence.
To your patriotism, gentlemen, has been confided the honorable duty of guarding the public interests, and while the past is to your country a sure pledge that it will be faithfully discharged, permit me to assure you, that your labors to promote the general happiness, will receive from me the most zealous co-operation.
JOHN ADAMS.
Answer of the House of Representatives.
To JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States.
SIR,
The house of representatives have received with great respect, the communication which you have been pleased to make to the two houses of congress, at the commencement of the present session. The final establishment of the seat of the national government, which has now taken place, within the District of Columbia, is an event of no small importance in the political transactions of our country: and we cordially unite our wishes with yours, that this territory may be the residence of happiness and virtue.
Nor can we, on this occasion, omit to express a hope, that the spirit which animated the great founder of this city, may descend to future generations, and that the wisdom, magnanimity and steadiness, which marked the events of his public life, may be initiated in all succeeding ages.
A consideration of those powers which have been vested in congress, over the District of Columbia, will not escape our attention; nor shall we forget that in exercising these powers, a regard must be had to those events which will necessarily attend the capitol of America.
The cheerfulness and regularity with which the officers and soldiers of the temporary army have returned to the condition of private citizens, is a testimony clear and conclusive, of the purity of those motives which induced them to engage in the public service; and will remain a proof, on all future occasions, that an army of soldiers, drawn from the citizens of our country, deserve our confidence and respect.
No subject can be more important than that of the judiciary, which you have again recommended to our consideration, and it shall receive our early and deliberate attention.
The constitution of the United States having confided the management of our foreign negotiations to the control of the executive power, we cheerfully submit to its decisions on this important subject. And in respect to the negotiations now pending with France, we sincerely hope that the final result may prove as fortunate to our country, as the most ardent mind can wish.
So long as a predatory war is carried on against our commerce, we should sacrifice the interests, and disappoint the expectations of our constituents, should we for a moment, relax that system of maritime defence, which has resulted in such beneficial effects. At this period it is confidently believed, that few persons can be found within the United States, who do not admit, that a navy, well organized, must constitute the natural and efficient defence of this country, against all foreign hostility.
The progress which has been made in the manufacture of arms, leaves no doubt that the public patronage has already placed this country beyond all necessary dependence on foreign markets, for an article so indispensable for defence; and gives us assurances, that under the encouragement which government will continue to extend to this important object, we shall soon rival foreign countries, not only in the number, but in the quality of arms completed from our own manufactories.
Few events could have been more pleasing to our constituents, than that great and rapid increase of revenue which has arisen from permanent taxes. Whilst this event explains the great and increasing resources of our country, it carries along with it a proof which cannot be resisted, that those measures of maritime defence, which were calculated to meet our enemy upon the ocean, and which have produced such extensive protection to our commerce, were founded in wisdom and policy. The mind must, in our opinion, be insensible to the plainest truths, when it cannot discern the elevated ground on which this policy has placed our country.
That national spirit, which alone could vindicate our common rights, has been roused, and those latent energies, which had not been fully known, were unfolded and brought into view, and our fellow citizens were prepared to meet every event which national honor, or national security could render necessary. Nor have its effects been much less important in other respects. Whilst many of the nations of the earth have been impoverished and depopulated, by internal commotions and national contest, our internal peace has not been materially impaired—our commerce has extended, under the protection of our infant navy, to every part of the globe—wealth has flowed without intermission, into our seaports, and the labors of the husbandman have been rewarded by a ready market for the productions of the soil.
Be assured sir, that the various and important subjects recommended to our consideration, shall receive our early and deliberate attention, and confident of your co-operation, in every measure which may be calculated to promote the general interest, we shall endeavor on our part, to testify by our industry and dispatch, the zeal and sincerity with which we regard the public good.
The yeas and nays being demanded by one fifth of the members present, were, yeas, 36—nays 32.
THE SUBSCRIBERS
HAVE the satisfaction of informing their customers and others, that in consequence of an arrangement made by JOHN JORDAN Jun. they will be enabled to purchase the following articles of produce this season, viz.
HEMP, WHEAT, FLOUR, AND TOBACCO,
For which they will give such prices as their present engagements and prospect will justify, which they hope will be found as liberal as any.
But as they have undertaken this business, with prospects indeed, too trifling even to compensate them for their services, they hope at least, to meet with better encouragement than what has heretofore been allotted by the Planters and Farmers of this state, to those who exported their Produce, and that a proper distinction will be made in favor of them, who, at all times have exerted themselves to embrace every opportunity of serving the Planters, &c.
It is with the utmost reluctance they take notice of an incontrovertible truth, that so far from meeting the encouragement due their exertions, they have hitherto had the mortification to find that a preference was at all times given (unless when payment was made in produce) to others, who sold for cash only—in consequence of which, they had determined to pursue the same system of Commerce that is now so loudly complained of by the Citizens at large, so long at least, until their competitors should either be obliged to undergo the same risk and trouble, or the Farmer and Planter take a more extensive view of his real interest—but being anxious to avoid their proportion of general censure, and to make their occupation as useful as possible, they have once more receded from their resolution, determined to purchase the productions of the soil, and trust to the liberality of the Farmer and Planter, to obviate those complaints in future.
The conditions on which they intend to take produce, are, the Cash Prices of the several articles—In return, they will continue to sell their goods at their usual low prices, for Cash or Produce. Those who may have more Produce than would be convenient for them to take in Goods, shall receive Cash, by allowing a reasonable credit, but no payments will be made either in Goods or Cash, until the delivery of the articles, and it is further expected that none will solicit an advance, as it is impossible for them (in consequence of the numerous disappointments heretofore experienced) either to discriminate, or to deviate from this rule.
JOHN A SEITZ,
JOHN JORDAN Jun. & Co.
N. B. By the above arrangements there can be no cause for suspecting us of selling higher, and consequently we flatter ourselves with a continuance of the custom of those who shall wish to purchase for Cash.
NOTICE
Is hereby given to all whom it may concern, THAT I gave my bond to Chesley Woodward, Esq. for upwards of sixty pounds, one half of which I have paid and the other half became due one the 25th day of December last;—now therefore I forward all persons from taking an assignment on said bond, as I am determined not to pay it until he makes me a good title to the land for which the bond was given.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
GOOD-NATURED WIT.
ACCEPT, dear girl, an article's muse Who tunes to thee her lay; Nor thou the humble gift refuse, Which gratitude would pay.
Tirants, charming maid, for those gay hours You taught to dance along, While wit and fancy join'd their pow'rs; Our pleasure to prolong.
While war breath'd tempest all around, 'Twas harmony within; No clashing harsh internal sound Re-echo'd its shrill din.
How oft when wit like thine we find, Keen Satire points the dart; Which poisons more the more refin'd, And festers in the heart!
Trembling at distance we admire And dread its painful wound; Nor mirth, nor joy its shafts inspire, But scatter terrors round!
Justly we say such wit is like The diamond's radiant rays: Which sparkle most in act to strike, And wound amidst the blaze.
But thine like yonder potent sun, Which forms that gem refin'd, Enlightens, charms, and warms in one, Nor leaves a sting behind.
Still shall its pleasing influence cheer, While judgment bounds the line; While mild good-nature points its sphere, And shows it where to shine.
Then let it sprightly Charlotte blaze, In all its lustre bright; To gild the gloom of these sad days With innocent delight.
While gathering oft in circles gay Around the social fire; Thy wit shall charm our cares away, And life and joy inspire.
Sweet smiling peace shall guard the door, Within shall friendship reign: Then let the hollow murmur roar, While we that peace maintain.
ANECDOTE.
An Irishman fell from the maintop of one of our ships a few days ago, and tumbled on the deck very near the first lieutenant. Every one thought all his bones were broken; however he got up and rubbed his arm, when the lieutenant exclaimed, "where do you come from?" "Please your honor, I am from the North of Ireland."
