DR. ATKINSON'S
Genuine Essence of Mustard.
RHEUMATISM in every stage, instantly yields to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most deliberate cases of Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Sciatica, Numbness, Palsy, and Complaints of the Stomach, after various other medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulencies and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active preparation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation; it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected, by this means, frozen limbs, the severest sprains and bruises, and strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits by the signature of THOMAS STOKES, & Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authentication, none are genuine.
Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumptions, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
MR. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common with this medicine produces so salutary a preparation that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the racking in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Paroxysmal complaints affecting the breast and lungs, thus affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and consumption have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the birth-cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, &c. are immediately relieved and peculiarly cured by Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges, as a foreign remedy for the above complaints, and most delicate of the breast and lungs, stands unequalled; not an instance has occurred (tho' taken by many thousand patients) wherein they have been known to fail; so superior are their virtues over every other medicine, that for the patient be ever so emaciated, or reduced, after having tried every medical assistance, they will act as it were a charm, and instantly relieve the most inveterate cough, give ease and freedom to respiration, promote gentle expectoration, strengthen the debilitated constitution, procuring refreshing comfort of rest and sleep, and quickly effect a permanent cure.
To the Proprietors of Chambaud's Cough Lozenges.
I have been afflicted with an asthma for several years, and have employed various Doctors, both in the city and country to but little purpose. Since the commencement of this year I have at different times been so distressed with my cough and shortness of breath, that I have not been able to lie down in my bed for several nights together. One of my neighbors called on me on his return from New York to recommend me a medicine which from the account he received of it, would certainly cure me, at the house where he lodged in Barclay-street, Samuel Young, Esq. who comes from your neighborhood, was mentioning that he had been troubled for a long time with oppression at the breast, cough, shortness of breath, &c. and had taken various medicines without receiving much benefit—that he had lately bought a packet of Chambaud's Lozenges, which had entirely cured him—tho' I have always had an aversion to advertised medicines; yet from so respectable assurance as that of Samuel Young's, I resolved to try them; I had taken the first packet before I received much benefit from them; the second has produced the most surprising effects, my cough is entirely removed, the shortness of breath is much relieved, that distressing oppression at my breast is entirely gone, and from my own feelings and the opinion of my friends, I have no doubt but they will be the means by the blessing of God, of restoring me to perfect health. I thought it my duty to send you this letter, and I shall recommend Chambaud's Lozenges as long as I live. I am your hum. servt. JOHN JEROME. Nine-Partners, May 20, 1803.
The Genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
THE only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public, to observe,
that the name THOMAS STOKES & Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authentication, none are genuine.
ATKINSON'S
Genuine & Infallible Worm Destroying Lozenges.
AS a speedy, effectual, and sure remedy, stands unrivaled, and has performed innumerable cures, when medical aid and other worm medicines could afford no relief. These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but entirely and effectually prevent their regeneration. For this purpose, the proprietor recommends their being used in the spring and fall. Those families who have taken his advice, and used the Lozenges as their common physic among the children (for which they are excellently calculated) have now the happiness to find their children entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount-Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for the last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second dose a quantity of worms, nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled, has ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has ever since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to the excellent quality of Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges.—I therefore, &c. with the utmost pleasure, recommend them as a Medicine fully answering the purposes for which they are recommended.

DR. HUNTER'S
Genuine Antibiotic Pills.
AN agreeable and certain preventative of that predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fevers, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West-India Islands is the best evidence of their superior excellence.—Billious complaints, windy distensions of the stomach and bowels, pains in the stomach and side, sick head-ache, giddiness, indigestion, phlegm, & asthmatic tightness of the breast, are entirely removed by this well-known medicine, whose deserved repute place them far above the common class of medicines. Several remarkable cases of their efficacy have been lately published. In the piles, for their relief & cure; for scaring men; elderly and sedentary persons; those who drink to excess, and females using open medicines, they are invaluable.
Dr. Hunter's Antibiotic Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scrofulous eruptions, leprosy, & other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scrofulous complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a laboring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor; yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Genuine Ague and Fever Drops, For the Cure of Agues, Intermittent and Remittent Fevers.
THE proprietor feels it his duty, to present to the public, a Medicine acknowledged & proved to be the first in the world; being a sovereign remedy for one of the most distressing diseases which afflict mankind. The properties and qualities of this Medicine, has been so fully approved and attested, as to leave no doubt whatever of its efficacy. Thousands have been cured by these drops, after the bark and every other remedy has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a single bottle.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
IN this age of luxury and licentiousness, when the indication of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, and lay the foundation of premature and sickly old age, it is not to be
wondered, that a medicine of such restorative powers, as the Aromatic Lozenges of Steel, should obtain the sanction and recommendation of the most enlightened medical characters in the world: Many persons who were lately labouring under infirmities, which rendered life insupportable, are now enjoying health and vigour, the weak the languid, the relaxed, and emaciated of either sex. Those who have impaired their constitutions by a long residence in unhealthy climates; the nervous, & debilitated; will find in this medicine, the balm of comfort, a degree of reanimation, & a delightful transition from misery & infirmity, to health & happiness.
Matrimony. It is much to be regretted, but indisputably certain, that many persons of both sexes, are deterred from entering into the married state, by secret infirmities, which delicacy forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few, who being already married, are rendered miserable, for want of those pledges of mutual love; without which, happiness in this state, is at best very precarious. It has been ascertained, beyond a doubt, that those circumstances are occasioned by general, or partial relaxations, or weakness in either sex; and, it is equally certain, that the Genuine Aromatic Lozenges are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility; when taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve, and diffuse themselves, like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary, and permanent.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, R.I.
Sir, We received yours, and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1802, my daughter, who is in her 17th year, caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever that accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for doctors bills and consultations D.150. The fever left her in the most deplorable, debilitated state, with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from her bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the doctor, we went to Ball's Town Springs, and stayed the season, and tho' she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of Jan. we saw an advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints; we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken they evidently produced a change in her system which no medicine before had been able to effect—we sent for two more packets. It is now 14 days since she began to mend—she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horseback, and if the weather should prove favorable, we intend coming to Pock-kill, early in April, to stop till we go to Ball's Town Springs: From there we will send you an address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquirers.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life, For the Cure of Consumption and Asthma Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Dysentery.
CAUTIOUS investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies above mentioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness the analogy of their source by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; The result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession, the proprietors can confidently recommend, as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Dr. Bardwell's Genuine Eye-Water.
A Sovereign remedy for all diseases of Eye; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and films; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fevers, and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in Deafness & Hardness of Hearing. The few who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, & very often perfected a complete cure. Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Ache.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne Essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the proprietor to say, that Head Ache, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy has failed; by its salutary operation, it infallibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.

THE EXAMINER.
TEXT—"If the whole Province of Main was invaded by an Enemy, it would not be of so much importance as the stoppage of the Mississippi."—JONATHAN MASON'S Speech on the subject of New-Orleans.
THE Tory federal party may justly be compared in their attack upon the republicans, to a body of Indians, skirmishing in ambush; they fire under cover, and the moment the republican troops rally to encounter them, they disperse in every direction, they never confront their antagonists but on discovery, remain silent in their wigwams, or take a route through their respective tribes and consult on future plans of mischief. If they cannot raise the fighting men at the southward, they can travel to the head quarters of "good principles," consult the "wise men of the East," and pursue their journey northward to project measures within the lines of that nation, without whose aid it is "impossible" for us to vindicate our sovereignty and independence. These traveling War Hawks, represent a flock of geese flying from north to south as the climate favors them. In the summer months they take a tour to the colder regions expecting to mature their plans for an opposite flight at a more temperate season. They alight at particular places, some roost at Connecticut, while others visit Boston long enough to deposit a few Eggs, and there are certain setting hens whose duty it is, to hatch them to maturity. They never stay long enough to have a fair shot at them, being a fly bird, they just show themselves, and immediately take wings and fly away.
This is a just description of the War Hawks; in every instance they keep themselves within their nest, or far beyond the limits of inspection whenever they are aware of being discovered. To drop the allusion, why do not those persons who are in favor of war, and opposed to the measures of the administration, come forward, and in a manly manner vindicate themselves? If Mr. Parsons was dissatisfied with the present judiciary, why did he not maintain his ground, or frankly acknowledge his error? If Mr. Morris, Rose, or Mason were in favor of an alliance with Britain, in preference to negotiation, why are they not so candid as to give some reasons for their obstinacy, after such a display of the pacific policy of the President? The republicans are not intolerant, they do not notice these men for the sake of victory; they do not bring them into public view for the mere purpose of ridicule; but when this country has been on the brink of War by the outrageous propositions of these individuals, it is proper to revert to the subject, and analyze the sentiments of such as were desirous to commence hostilities—War is a serious reflection to the Citizens of America, especially one, which is "impossible" to be carried on without the assistance of Britain. If on reviewing this question, we are obliged to introduce particular characters, we hope the gentlemen will not think it unbecoming to give some reasons, for their conduct. Mr. Morris, and Mr. Rose are more immediately answerable to their constituents, but Mr. Mason is more intimately connected with Massachusetts. It is therefore incumbent on him to shew the propriety of his declaration, that "it is impossible for us to be at War with France or Spain, without having the British navy on our side." This observation embraces the proposition of fifty thousand militia, in addition to all the military and naval force of the United States, and we would wish to know of Mr. Mason, why he had such a contemptible opinion of the Americans, as to think it "impossible" for them to carry on the War without the extra aid of Britain? Provided we had commenced hostilities under this degraded acknowledgement, what would be our

situation, if the British ministry had replied to the United States in the following language, "that it was impossible for them to help us; that the war in which they were engaged, called forth all their energies to protect themselves, and that Bonaparte was so closely besieging even the Island of Britain, that every man, woman & child, were nearly under requisition to defend their own territory; that while we were contending for New Orleans in expectation of their succour, the Island of Great Britain itself was in jeopardy by their folly in commencing war so soon after they were exhausted by their former exertion." They might even at this juncture suggest the imprudence of our reliance on them, when we had so many instances of their failing in defending other nations who had within ten years trusted to their omnipotence. On reflection, Mr. Mason must be ashamed of his declaration, and if he is possessed of the smallest ingredient of candor, he must humbly acknowledge his ignorance, and give his hearty approbation of the measures of the administration.
As the War Hawks now attempt to depreciate the acquisition of Louisiana, and represent the territory "as a wilderness, inhabited only by savages"—if little importance, a "mere whistle," and not worth the purchase, or acceptance of the United States; that we ought not to close with the proposition of the French at the price proposed by the Treaty; after thus depreciating the ultimatum of the negotiation, we will now exhibit to the public the value the War Hawks themselves set on the Island of New Orleans, when war, horrid War! was the object contemplated. If this Island for a place of deposit, was so highly estimated, what must be the value of the whole territory? Let "Fabricius," the speaking trumpet of the fashion and war this question; but this Hero is reserved for a more delicate repartee.
Read, Fellow-Citizens, and judge for yourselves. Mr. Rosa admits, "that if France holds the Mississippi, they will have the command of the fortunes of those who inhabit the Western waters." He declares, that Bonaparte might tell the United States, "my French West-India Colonies, and those of my allies can be supplied from my Colony of Louisiana with flour, pork, beef, lumber and any other necessary." That these articles can be carried by French ships, and navigated by French sailors"—That if the United States, "on the Atlantic coast with to trade with the French Colonies in those articles, they might be exposed to pay 15 or 20 per cent. impost"—"That France would want no further supplies from us, and that a recourse to them must be the condition of all our future intercourse"—"That the Mississippi was the great and only high way of commerce from the Western country to the Ocean." These are the sentiments of Mr. Rosa on the commercial importance of Louisiana; be then goes on to the idea of our purchasing by negotiation—"If (says he) we give no offence to the new and probable masters of the Mississippi (meaning the French) may be they will sell it!" "To me it is utterly incredible, that such an effect should flow from such conduct"—"They might possibly sell if they hated us in arms; in peace, and refused to maintain it; but when we have no army, no military preparation, no semblance of resistance, what would induce them to sell?" These are the savings of Mr. Rosa, the premium member of the War party. He first describes the value of the territory, and then the improbability of our purchasing it; but after failing in this last prophecy, his partisans declare this most valuable territory to be a mere wilderness, and scarcely worthy our acceptance. When men are so inconsistent what can be said in their vindication? Will not such preposterous assertions open the eyes of the people, and will they not condemn those, who have such palpable evidences brought against them by their own testimony? Thank God, some of them are returned to private life, and we trust their private cabals will prove abortive.
Mr. White, of Delaware, (another friend to war) uses expressive himself. "Without the free use of the Mississippi, and the necessary advantages of deposit, the fertile soil of the Western people is not worth possessing; their produce must be wasted in the fields, or rot in granaries. Let Bonaparte once take quiet possession of the Mississippi, and we shall have a war indeed; nothing but the length of our swords, and the best blood of our citizens will ever make it ours. He knows well the value of the position, he knows that it must become one of the first in the world, and that it now offers higher temptations to a powerful, ambitious, intriguing people than any place on earth. The only key to the immense regions watered by the Mississippi, and its tributary streams, to a country, larger in extent than all Europe, surpassed by no portion of the world in fertility of soil, and most of it in climate a Paradise." Thus much for Mr. White. Mr. Dayton, (another friend to war) says, the Mississippi was "the great and only outlet for the productions of nearly half a million of people, and that three articles only of American produce, entered at New Orleans in 1801, (as taken from their custom-house books) amounted to one million, six hundred thousand dollars; and that the other nine or ten articles of export in that year would have swelled the whole to nearly four millions." It further appeared by his official statement, "that from the 1st of February, to the 10th of June, 1802, 150 vessels from 100 to 300 tons, cleared at the custom-house of New Orleans, & that 80 vessels were of from 200 to 300 tons, were necessary to take off the produce then in store." Here then is Mr. Dayton's idea of the importance of the acquisition. Even our friend Jonathan Major, holds out the advantages of possessing New Orleans, and the free navigation of the Mississippi, "of more importance than the whole Province of Maine, and as involving directly and indirectly the trade of all the States." Friend Jonathan is apt to make mistakes, and we in Massachusetts proper, may
readily forgive him; but what think ye, Citizens of Maine! is estimating you below the Mississippi?
I could go on to mention Mr. Morris and others, but the above are specimens of the immense estimation in which this country was held during the debates in Congress by those who were desirous to rouse the people to hostilities. How then is it possible, that the tone should be changed in those papers which applauded the measures proposed by the war party? Is it not evident that an alliance with England was the sole object, and when they find this cannot be effected, they are determined to undervalue the purchase, and to frustrate the amicable settlement made by the President with France. Ye war hawks! Either acknowledge your error in the value of New Orleans, or forever be silent at the purchase of Louisiana.
Can we, fellow-citizens, hesitate, whether there is an English party in this country? Let any candid man examine the documents, and he must be convinced, that we have among us those whose sole aim is to connect the destinies of the U. States, with the fate of Britain. These same men will publicly exclaim against foreign influence—pretend impartial neutrality—curse the President and reprobate Democracy; and yet take every method to involve us in all the horrors of an European war. If the people want further evidence, they would not be persuaded though one rose from the dead, and declared it from Heaven with the trump of an Archangel.
BALTIMORE, August 18.
In the month of April last the Republican Schooner Telegraph brought into Jemci the ship Union, sloop Dolphin, and sch. Mary, all of Nantucket, who were found whaling in some bay on the south side of Hispaniola. At the time of their capture, the nearest to the shore of the above three vessels, was distant three and an half leagues; the other two, from one to two leagues without her. However, the conscientious captain of the Telegraph (to bring them within reach of the law, which general Leclerc had made, and which only allowed vessels found within two leagues of the shore, to be solemnly despoiled, that they were all within half a league of the land, and further, that the sch. Mary was an anchor, which happened to be the outermost vessel, and at least five leagues distant from the others. They were accordingly shelled; the crew driven ashore into the fort, and detained as prisoners, not being able to stir without the ramparts, although they were at the same time stationed at particular guns, and held to defend the place in case of an attack from the brigands, who were within half cannon shot. The plea for their detention was, that they might possibly have been supplying the insurgents, altho' the articles they had on board proved, beyond all possibility or doubt, that they were solely following their useful occupation; as, after the strictest search on board, nothing was found but oil, the produce of their fishery, and the necessary implements for carrying it on. Notwithstanding the irrefragable proofs of their innocence, the impartial court at Port au Prince pronounced their condemnation; which however, was so tardy, that before the determination of this case, which took up more than two months, out of thirty eight men, the number of souls in the three vessels, not one half was left alive, from the confinement, bad provisions, and other ill treatment they met with in this destitute country. Captain Clifsey died in the month of June—what became of the other two captains, Smith and Folger, is not known. Such proceedings require no comment—they set the conduct of the French, in that quarter, in its true light.
From Ireland.—We have a letter dated the 13th of June from a very influential character, which says: "You may think that the spark caught from the American altar, has been extinguished in this quarter—but those who think so are ignorant of the true spirit of the sons of Erin, are either misinformed or ignorant of our devotion to the good work of our political reformation. We are now literally bearing our plough shares into pikes and our pruning hooks & turf knives into spears. Altho' we can view Bonaparte in no other light than an usurper, yet we think him to be the man destined as the object of Heaven, to be the valiant instrument in the hands of Providence to strike off the chains of four millions of People, who have astonished the world by their ardour, tho' unfortunate struggles to obtain their natural rights—the Rights of Man."
The British are going to raise—if they can be raised—fifty thousand militia, for the defence of England, Ireland, & Scotland. The French have so many troops ready for action, on their peace establishment, that it is said they want neither men nor money for the present campaign; for there appears no probability of a continental war to call out their conscripted additional numbers.
In the last war, at one time the French were computed to have fourteen hundred thousand men in the field, in defence of the Republic. They were not so numerous then, by seven millions of people, as they are now.
It is curious to hear people prating about the oppressions of the Dutch, by the French; just as they used to say that the French oppressed the Americans. In our revolutionary war, Mr. Van Borkell formed a provisional treaty with J. Adams, who was then American Plenipotentiary at the Hague. This treaty was not to take effect until the independence of the United States was acknowledged by Great Britain. But upon its being intercepted by the British, they immediately took possession of St. Eustatius, and plundered their old friends and allies of their property in that Island to the amount of many millions without a declaration of war.
The Centinel evidently is endeavouring to impress upon the minds of those who are con-
demned to be its readers, that the Government of the U. States intends to pay "a tribute to France," because we have agreed to purchase Louisiana, for what all agree is not half its value. Here is a fair and bona fide purchase. Does the Farmer pay a tribute, when he buys a new farm? If he obtains a warrantee deed of the land, and a fair title too, can he expect any more? Is this paying a tribute? The federal Elitists know very well it is no such thing—but it suits them to misrepresent the transaction, and they are heartily welcome to all the honor and profit they can derive from it.

Late Foreign Articles.
HAGUE, June 28.
Notwithstanding the promise made by the English Government to ours, of not intercepting the fishery in the North Sea, some English pirates this morning captured off our coasts upwards of 80 fishing boats, and thus, besides the loss of the boats, have deprived us of 200 excellent seamen.
PARIS, July 6.
It is very generally believed, that the plan of the expedition against England will receive much development during the First Consul's tour to the Departments of Belgium. He will particularly inspect the Coast at Boulogne Calais, Dunkirk, Ostend, Flushing, and Antwerp.
LONDON, June 24.
The Batavian army, and all the military means of the State, are now officially declared to be at the disposal of France.
June 27.
There are strong grounds for believing that a negotiation, the principle of which was first suggested by Bonaparte, is now carrying on between our Government and the Court of Madrid. Spain is extremely desirous to preserve a strict neutrality during the war: And the First Consul has agreed to abstain from any attack on Portugal as well as from any pecuniary requisitions in our Government to recognize the neutrality of Spain.
BREIT.
We understand that the French have in that port 23 line of battle ships, completely ready for sea, besides a number of gun and flat bottomed boats.
July 11.
A great number of French and Dutch fishing boats have been captured and brought into our ports.
July 11.
It is not improbable that letters of marque and reprisals will, in a short time be issued against Spain. Government has, we are assured, received authentic information that the wishes expressed by the Court of Madrid to preserve a strict neutrality, have been completely frustrated by the positive injunctions of Bonaparte.
The London Gazette of Saturday contains
a Proclamation for granting the distribution of prizes during the present war. It differs from former proclamations of a similar nature, in respect to the eighth part granted to the Flag, or Flag Officers, who shall actually be on board at the taking of any prize, or shall be directing or assisting therein.
July 12.
The Brussels papers mention that Alexandria has been taken by a corps of Albanians.
Bonaparte arrived at Dunkirk on the 2d, where he was to remain some days. The Mayor took occasion in offering him the keys of the town, to remind him that he had refused them in 1793 to the Duke of York, at the head of 40,000 men.
NEWPORT, Saturday, Sept. 3, 1803.
It was with extreme regret that we submitted to the public, the observations, under the Newport head, in our last Republican. It was indeed a most disgusting task; but duty demanded the sacrifice. We request our readers to call to mind the shocking indecencies—the mean abuse—the gross scandal—the vile scurrility—the abominable falsehoods—the monstrous lies, which have, during the two past years, incessantly, issued from the office of the Mercury. We intreat them to recollect the foul attacks upon character, which have been made weekly by the filthy dabbler in that sink of corruption; then to retrace their indignation, if they can. Contempt alone is not a cure for the defamatory fever of federalism. More powerful correctives are required. That these are administered with judgment, we flatter ourselves will be conceded; and our friends may rest assured that we shall not, at any time, descend to personality, unless urged therefor by irresistible necessity; though we here announce our determination to physic the frantic scribblers whenever such of their offensive and odious productions as that of “Jo Bunker” in Newport Mercury of August 23, make their appearance. Our Republican supporters are desired to turn to the Mercury containing that infamous display of federal falsehood, malignity, and depravity; and they will, without hesitation, pronounce our report too mild—rather than too vigorous. Let the federalists keep their paper within the bounds of decency and truth—at least, when speaking of Gentlemen belonging to the State, of the purest character—and thus they will avoid the retort courteous.
The Editors of the Mercury have often boasted of the correctness and originality of the remarks which appear under the Newport head in that paper. Although we were certain that none except themselves, thought highly of their editorial qualifications—still we were willing to leave them in the undisturbed enjoyment of their opinion in this particular.—And at this time, we do not intend to expose them so fully as we might.—It might be supposed that persons so renowned in political warfare, as the ostensible editors of that paper pretend to be, would hardly condescend to use the expressions and sentiments of a new paper writer, as original—not adopt the child who was born in New-York, as their own.
It may seem strange that a paragraph of ten or a dozen lines could not be invented, without servilely copying it from Lang's Gazette—and what is worse, without giving the credit of it to that paper.—Yet strange as it is—it is true that a paragraph in the New-York Gazette of the 14th June, in these words—“The Clintonians as the report goes are making great preparations for the celebration of the approaching anniversary. Finding that they are fast sinking in the estimation of the people, they are striving to make a great show of attachment to revolutionary principles and
to get their best foot foremost”—and this same paragraph with this trifling alteration of “the Democrats in this town” instead of “the Clintonians,” appeared in the Newport Mercury of the 28th of the same month, as an original remark, emanating from the editorial fountain of that paper—a reference to both newspapers will verify our assertion.—Thus it is that a political piece written and published in another State, undergoes a little alteration, is stamped with the initials of the Mercury, and then appears completely foisted to the local politics of Rhode Island.—A single effort of the pen, in a moment produces a better piece, than can be selected from the fugitive writings of pretended Orators—or “of printers’ devils”—and the wise acts of Federalism cannot but admire the talents, the literature, and the candor of these plagiarists.—We think this single instance will satisfy the candid mind that the Mercury writers have not those distinguished abilities they claim—while it exhibits their meanness and want of principle in a strong point of view.
WE ask the indulgence of our readers, while we bestow a few remarks upon the last production of that despicable fellow “Jo Bunker.” Our observations on the character of this noxious animal last week, has aroused the holy indignation of certain men—yet this, nor threatenings shall deter us from the path of duty.—We have too often been the objects of their resentment to feel any apprehensions on that account; and when either “Jo Bunker,” the editors of the Mercury (who are synonymous) or any other writer in the Mercury, shall misrepresent facts, or assert ought, which may tend to mislead the public opinion, we conceive it our duty to notice it.
The Mercury says that “Jo Bunker” has ventured to tell a few honest truths; but we think we can demonstrate that he has ventured to tell a few (not so few neither) as honest men would at first imagine gross, and palpable falsehoods. This writer appears to us to be a mere mechanical genius, who has copied old and worn out falsehoods, that they might look like new inventions. Nothing more than perseverance, added to a wicked heart, is necessary to make such a writer as “Jo Bunker” is, out of any novice.—By first establishing a false proposition, then arguing from it as truth, and persevering in it to the last—the work is complete. No federalist can be so hard, but he must see the propriety of these remarks.
But let us examine “Jo Bunker’s” production: Our Members of Congress receive six dollars a day—and is not this agreeable to the direction of the only Statute made since the adoption of the Constitution fixing their compensation? Was it a virtue in the Members of Congress formerly to be paid for their services, and is it a vice now? In what age or nation do we live, that the immutable principle of compensation for public services, has become mutable? By what magic power has it been effected? Does “Jo Bunker” suppose that our Members in Congress can subsist on wind—or, like himself, on falsehood, detraction, & abuse?
Again, he says he surprises his neighbors by the following statements; and he would surprise any man, woman, or child, the least acquainted with the false statements he makes. It is not true that the new administration in a session of four months cost the United States several thousands of dollars more than the federalists had done in a preceding session or eight months. But it is true that the federalists squandered more in one session than they saved in four years. The story about Mr. Duane requires no comment.—None but a federalist would have made such an assertion—none except federalists believe it. It is not true that Mr. Dawson was employed at the expense of upwards of forty thousand dollars to carry the ratification of the Treaty to France. The vessel in which Mr. Dawson went to France was the Maryland. She was fitted, and her stores laid in under the last administration for the purpose of carrying Mr. Bayard, who was to have been the bearer of the treaty. Upwards of twenty thousand dollars of this expense was incurred under the administration of Mr. Adams, and for the accommodation of Mr. Bayard. Mr. Dawson had no allowance of rations, he partook of the ship's stores. Had it so happened that Mr. Bayard had been the bearer of the Treaty, we presume no fault would have been attached to this federal measure. It is not true that unnecessary expense accrued on the repairs of the Berceau.—She was regularly repaired under existing appropriations, and not in a more expensive manner than other vessels. It is not true that the new Administration have larger salaries than their predecessors, under the Administration of Mr. Adams, received. If our recollection is correct, the law which gave the principal officers larger salaries, was enacted in 1799, and limited to two years. This limited time was afterwards extended.
An observation or two more, and we leave “Jo Bunker” to sink into that abhorrence and oblivion to which he is fast hastening. It is not true that the sum engaged to be given for LOUISIANA, is enormous for that territory. When our right of deposit at New Orleans was denied us, Governor Morris, Mr. Ross, and others of the federal party, exclaimed that we had just cause to commence hostility:—The war whoop was founded—the federal tocsin rung in our ears—our independence was attacked—our rights invaded: They used their utmost to drive us into a war, in which thousands of our fellow men might have been murdered—in which millions would have been expended—and which would have lessened our national character a broad: But as soon as we have acquired it by purchase, the scale turns—our right of deposit diminishes in value as fast as did the old constitutional currency. These federal politicians—these Jo Bunkers , become dissatisfied. Upon the whole, we think our readers need no further proof of the truth of our position, that “Jo Bunker” has ventured to tell a few gross and palpable falsehoods.
Last Tuesday, the semi-annual election of Representatives to serve in the General Assembly was held throughout the State; and from the information received from many towns, it is believed that the Republican members will be more numerous at October than at May Session.
In Newport, the following Members, all Republicans, were elected without opposition (the federalists having, according to their practice, absented themselves from the town-meeting) viz. CONSTANT TABER, NATHANIEL HAZARD, THOMAS G. PITMAN, PAUL M. MUMFORD, SIMON MARTIN, and DANIEL DUNHAM, jun. Esquires.—The thanks of the town were voted to JOHN GARDNER, and JOSEPH BOSS, Esquires, (who declined a re-election) for their past services as Representatives.
The rich and flourishing town of Bristol sends Republicans—the freemen having thought proper to dismiss the honorable William Bradford, and to return Deacon JOSEPH WARDWELL, a genuine Democrat, to serve with JAMES D'WOLFE, Esquire. Thus this industrious and enterprising people have wholly shaken off the load of federalism , which, two years since, was too mighty for their strength—the majority for the federal ticket, at the last Presidential Election, having been above one hundred.
North-Carolina Election
FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
The Elections of this State have ended and only one federal candidate returned. Stanly, Henderson, Groves, &c. all thrown out.
In the year 1800, the federal candidate was elected by a majority of 883, in the same district, where the Republican candidate has this year about the same majority. Thus has federalism declined since that period.
The malignant fever is said to have made its appearance at Wesselley in this State—a few cases only, however, having as yet occurred—and those supposed to have been taken from persons arriving there from New-York. We cannot be too cautious in admitting people from thence into our towns, before they have performed quarantine a sufficient length of time to remove all doubt of their having taken this mortal malady.
Essence of Spruce. —This article is recommended by William Jocelin, in a New-York paper, as a certain cure for the Yellow-Fever, he having been witness of its full effects on board the British ship Argonauta, in the West Indies, 150 of whose officers and men had been swept off by the fever, when this medicine was introduced, which saved every patient who took it.
Directions: —Take 3 table spoonfuls, put it into a quart of warm water, dissolve it and take a half pint tumbler full every half hour till it operates, which is generally before the third dose, and frequently pukes, purges, and produces severe perspiration.
A London paper of June 30th, says, Mr. Monroe, whose appointment to the office of Ambassador from the United States, in room of Mr. King, we announced some time since, is now on his way from Paris, and is expected in London this week.
EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.
The ship Sally was spoken at sea on the 19th of July, 56 days from Amsterdam for Baltimore, with 120 passengers.
Ship William, Littlejohn, at New-York, from Rutland, Ireland, brought 108 passengers.
A Scotch ship has arrived at Boston from Scotland, with 183 passengers.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 18th of June, 1803.
“Capt. Escamche (a native of this place in the Portuguese service) went off Algiers a few days ago in a 74, manned in Lisbon with about 800 volunteers and his four sons, to endeavor to take the 44 gun frigate, captured last summer.—Close to said port he fell in with a 44 gun frigate, a brig and a zebec, when it fell calm, which gave an opportunity for boats coming to their assistance from Algiers and towing them into port. The zebec he captured, took 100 and odd men out and then sunk the vessel. He chased the others so close in as to exchange shot within the muzzles of their batteries. He is now here on his way to Lisbon.—On board the zebec, captured by capt. Escamche, there were 12 Neapolitans, who they were carrying into National Slavery.”
It appears that the Tripoline corsair which was stated to have been captured, by one of the public ships of the United States, was taken by the John Adams, capt. Rodgers, and not by the Adams, as mentioned in an article in our last number. Ibid.
The expedition against England, is stated to be commanded by Bonaparte, Moreau, and Bournonville. It is to consist of 500,000 men in five divisions, of which it is calculated 200,000 will be destroyed in the attempt, and the remaining 300,000 will be a force sufficient to conquer the island.
NORFOLK, Aug. 18.
By the brig Flora, Captain Davis, 20 days from Kingston, arrived in Hampton Roads yesterday, we learn that all American vessels bound to any port of St. Domingo, are sent to Jamaica without discrimination. Gen. Morgan, together with a number of officers have been sent to England in the Santa Margareta frigate. A great number of American vessels have already arrived in Kingston, but none from this port.
Agreeably to the act of Congress of the 8th of May, 1792, the treasurer of the United States has given public notice, that no copper coins or pieces whatsoever, except cents and half cents pass current as money, or be paid, or offered to be paid, or received as payment for any debt, &c. under penalty of forfeiting the same, and a fine of ten dollars, after the 15th of January next.
We learn that the Schooner Isaac, Capt. Wier, owned by Mr. Mein, of this town, which sailed from this port on Monday last for Tobago, with live stock on board, sprung a leak the first night out, and was obliged to throw the principal part of her deck load overboard, to the amount of between one and two thousand dollars, and has since put into New-London in distress.

LINES. EXTEMPORE. BY THOMAS PAINE. JULY 4, 1803.  QUICK as the lightning's vivid flash, The poet's eye o'er Europe rolls, Sees battles rag'd—hears tempests crash, And dines at horror's threatening feasts.  Make ambition's ruthless king, With crimson banners search the globe, While trailing after conquest's wing, Man's fettering wounds his demon's probe.  Pall'd with the streams of reeking gore, That stain the proud imperial day, He turns to view the western shore, Where freedom holds her bloodless sway.  'Tis here her sage triumphant ways, An empire in the people's love, 'Tis here the sovereign will obey, No king but he who rules above.
