Mr. HENFREY'S DISCOVERIES.
The gentlemen who were invited by Mr. Henfrey to attend the experiments upon the new-light at the hay-market garden, requested him to communicate to them in writing the various uses to which it might be applied, and the expences of his plan, compared with others now in use, whereupon, he immediately laid before them the following:
Gentlemen,
Being advised to communicate my ideas in writing, I, (of course) not being prepared, have to do it in haste, which I hope will be received as a reason for imperfection. My ideas of usefulness are as follows:
 1st. As applicable to light houses for the sea coast.  2d. That the light may be applied by an octagon light house, or any form, for the use of towns.  3d. To manufactures on the principles of economy and safety.  4th. For domestic use, for the same reasons. 
With regard to expence, my opinion is that the light will cost nothing, (first cost of the apparatus; and attendance excepted) as the coal will be of more virtue after the gas and tar are extracted than before.
The sanction you have honored my labors with, will ever be retained with the most respectful remembrance, by,
Gentlemen,
Your obliged & most humble servant, BENJAMIN HENFREY.
We, the subscribers, who have attended the various experiments which Mr. Henfrey has made with the gas produced from wood and pit coal, hereby certify, to all whom it may concern, that in our opinion it may be advantageously applied to all the purposes he hath enumerated, and at an expence considerably less than of any other plan with which we have hitherto been acquainted. We are decidedly of opinion, that the gas produced from pit coal yields a more vivid and uniform light than that from wood, and by comparison with the light from oil or tallow, it appeared to us, as it proceeded from a tube of about a quarter of an inch diameter, to be nearly in the proportion of one to twenty. We have witnessed with pleasure the gas applied to culinary purposes. The apparatus is on a simple plan, and not expensive.

Having seen the manner in which Mr. Henfrey applies inflammable gas collected from pit coal or wood for the purpose of giving light, I have no hesitation in declaring, that the discovery appears to me to be not only ingenious, but capable of producing many real and extensive advantages. The manner is simple, attended with little expence, and certain of effecting the end proposed.
(Signed)
J. MADISON, Williamsburg.
To the gentlemen composing the committee for investigating the utility of the above discovery.
Gentlemen,
I cannot express the satisfaction I feel on reading your report on the utility of my mode of producing and applying light from the Gas of wood and pit coal. I will not offend you with thanks for your kind attention to a stranger; but I will assure you that I will use every means in my power to render the discovery as generally useful as possible, which I am certain will best accord with your views and wishes. I think myself singularly fortunate that Bishop Madison should happen to come to town before the experiments closed.
The polite and friendly manner in which he honored me with his approbation will always operate as a cordial in the hour of fatigue, when I am engaged in applying the discovery to large works.
Permit me to assure you of the perfect respect with which I remain,
Gentlemen,
Your greatly obliged, and Most humble servant, BENJAMIN HENFREY.

A single paper containing the above, sent to the patentee, (post paid) shall be evidence of the claim.
From the GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM.
LOUISIANA.
THE public mind has for some time appeared to be interested and alarmed, relative to the
cession of Louisiana to the French. Vague conjectures have been hastily formed, and as hastily abandoned by all parties. It is however generally agreed that the expected cession will be a measure destructive to the peace, commercial interests and prosperity of this country. Enquiries upon this subject, at this period of time, cannot therefore be unacceptable to the public.
It will readily be admitted that if Buonaparte colonizes Louisiana, it will be with the intention of making it commercial and flourishing—for in that situation can it alone promote the commercial interests of France. Now, commerce flourishes most during peace; and the man who would promote it must be a pacificator. Attempts then on the part of France to interrupt the peace of this country, would be attended with the destruction of that commerce, to promote which is the object of the colonization of Louisiana, and would also prevent any monopoly of our commerce, so important to any commercial and manufacturing nation in Europe.
But it is said we may expect a war, from the ambition of the Great Republic, which is boundless, and which only seeks the possession of New-Orleans, as a point gained towards the entire conquest of this country.
Can any man seriously think that this design is formed? or that European states could seriously expect its success? Have they not the waste of blood and treasure—the hazards and difficulty which would attend the enterprise? the precarious tenure after all by which the country would be holden? the insecurity of the governors, whoever they might be? or upon the poverty of the conquest after it was made? for a long and dangerous contest would take place; and the labor and wealth of the country would be destroyed before a conquest could be made of it. The difficulty of holding the country after conquering it, would be insuperable. What an immense army would have to be supported here? At how many different points must immense bodies of troops be placed to keep the country in subjection? Europe in fact, would be drained of her blood and treasure, and very soon be incapable of holding our country.
Reasoning however merely from experience, comparing our situation at the commencement of the revolutionary war, with our present one, we are furnished with insurmountable objections to this opinion. We were then a people without a name; we had a country without a government; a nominal head, without treasury or money, or power to raise either; composed of people of opposite prejudices and passions, dissimilar in their education and habits; opposed by prejudice, ministerial influence, and treason, from within—yet, under all these disadvantages, when not above one third as populous, and more scattered, we opposed the greatest power then known upon earth. We then wanted a legitimate head, magazines and money; a government possessed of other force than what public opinion gave it, and capable of enforcing its requisitions. Yet we succeeded—We achieved a revolution unparalleled in the annals of the world. Compared to Europe at present, we are superior to what the United States were then, compared with England. We possess three times the population—we have a head to direct us—a power supported by public opinion, and with force to ensure obedience to its requisitions—We have credit, a treasury, and can raise an army of heroes—and have no secret traitors to fear. Our manufactures are flourishing; and when we cannot import, we possess this source to supply ourselves. Even should Buonaparte be supported by the rest of Europe,* we have nothing to fear. But would public opinion in Europe be nothing in our favor? should we have no friends there to advocate our cause? Yes—though the mind is there enchained, public opinion must be respected; and the taxes levied to support a war, commenced without a pretext, and attended with murder, robbery and rapine, would alone speak home to millions. The most consolatory sympathy would be felt in our favor; and tyrants have too much experience not to know that another flame would arise, more dreadful to them than that which was kindled by our late revolution. The former was felt merely in England and France. But in this case, from Portugal to the colds of Siberia, the peasant would feel the imposition—He would enquire why? and the answer would give him sensations he never had before experienced.
Admitting however that the settled design of all the tyrants in Europe is to subjugate America, what advantage would the possession of Louisiana give them, which they do not possess at present? There neither armies nor supplies can be raised—nor can we be invaded from that quarter. Attempts to transport armies up the Mississippi, or to march them up by land, would be attended with certain destruction. Their supplies could with ease be cut off, and small parties attack the whole invading army with safety.
DE WITT.
* But are we more secure from invasion while this country continues in the possession of Spain, than in that of France? Spain is at the beck of France, and will be obliged to admit into any part of her dominions such troops as France directs to be admitted.
† Canada is a point much more eligible than Louisiana—yet we apprehend no danger to exist from any invasion which can come from that quarter.

WASHINGTON (City) September 3, BARBARY POWERS.
Dispatches, we understand, have been received by Government from Mr. Simpson, our Consul at Gibraltar, which place, as falsely rumoured, he had not left. The reports respecting Captain M'Neil's engagement with the Tunisians does not appear to have been confirmed by any subsequent information, which in case of such an action, ought to have been received by Mr. Simpson.
The Enterprize, Capt. Sterret, had arrived at Gibraltar on the 2d of July from the squadron cruising off Tripoli. The letters of capt. Sterret are also silent as to M'Neil's engagement, or his own as reported; which with respect to the latter, amounts to disproof.
The warlike operations of Morocco, from the latest authentic accounts, were not very active. The new frigates, lately built, the one of 36, and the other of 22 guns, were equipping slowly at Salee on the Atlantic—the old frigate lay at La Rash in the sand—two galleys were sitting out at Tituan with considerable spirit.
On the 8th ult. (May) in digging a new sluice way at the upper end of the Fairwater at Dantzic, a ship was found buried in the ground, at the depth of about 20 feet. She measured from stem to stern, in the inside, 54 feet, and in breadth nearly 20 feet, and was laden with stones, marked H. L. No. V to XII. Some apparently intended for foundation stones, others finely polished and flat, supposed to be headstones for graves. A box of tobacco pipes was also found, all whole, with heads about the size of a thimble, and stalks from four to six inches in length. The ship was built of oak, her planks about twenty inches broad, full of tree-nails, and no iron about her except her rudder bands. A boat was found near, fallen to pieces. Many human bones were found in the hold, both fore and aft; and it is supposed that the vessel had been lost in some convulsion of nature, before the foundation of the city, upwards of 500 years ago, as the place has long been built over.

He was sentenced to be hung on board any one ship the lords commissioners of the admiralty may please to direct. He made no defence.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Logan county, Kentucky, to his friend at the Sweet Springs, dated, July, 1802.
"A half skull bone very remarkable for size, has been found in sinking one of captain Berry's salt wells deeper, since you left this place. It weighs 246 lbs. the eye hole so large that a common sized man can creep through it; the bone found and entire round the eye hole, not decayed as it is in other parts; the nostril is very large, and the cavity for the brains not larger than a pint bowl, so that the monstrous head could never have contained more than one quart of brains. Some of the double teeth being found, weighed six pounds. (Stanton Pol. Mir.)"

From the Pittsburgh Gazette.
To the Farmers, Millers, Traders, and Manufacturers of the Western Country, and all who are concerned in its prosperity and improvement.
YOU are not ignorant of the many disadvantages under which the Mississippi trade has laboured since its commencement, chiefly for want of competent information of the extent of the demand at the Orleans market, the means of exportation by sea, and the proper destination of our produce so exported. Hence it happens that sometimes unusual profits are made by a few, and unusual losses suffered by a few, sometimes by many. To compute moderately, there cannot be less than sixty thousand dollars lost in that trade this year, in this country. This, and the consequent discouragement, must sink the value of our produce, and of course of our farms. Many embark in this trade who are unacquainted with the navigation of the river, and strangers to the climate and the inhabitants whom they go to deal with, and their government, their customs, and their language. When they arrive at Orleans they are obliged to sell for what may be offered, for want of vessels to carry their produce to another market, or knowledge of a proper market. And they cannot remain long there on account of the expence, the risk of fickleness, and their anxiety to return home to attend to their families and their farms.
Would it not then be an important object to combine the interests of the inhabitants of the western country in general, that the profit and loss of this trade would be equally shared among all, and the losses of one year compensated to the same persons by the profits of the next, and to put this very interesting trade under such management our produce could be sent at our own risk and profit to the best market, either in America, the West-Indies or Europe, conducted by the best information, our exports regulated by the demand, and our returns made to us in the most advantageous articles? If this could be done our trade would no longer be fluctuating, but as steady as at sea ports, the farmer would get his just price for his grain, and be encouraged to go on with his improvements, and the trader would not be ruined, and hurt the farmer in his fall.
This can only be done by a large company on an extensive scale, and a competent capital. This company could put their affairs under the management of a few of their own body, who would have agents at New-Orleans, at Philadelphia, and at other sea ports, acquire the best information, sell and buy at the proper times and proper places, and make the gain or loss, (if there must be loss) general, so that as it were every inhabitant would share in the prosperity and adversity of the country.
I will suppose then a company to be formed and erected into a corporation, with a capital of, say one hundred thousand dollars, or more, divided into shares of, say one hundred dollars each, payable by instalments, and some portion of it in produce; this capital, put under the direction of a president and managers, with power to appoint proper agents for information and transaction of their business. Regular books will be kept and dividends be

made at stated times, yearly at least. Let any man consider what a happy and steady effect this would have in promoting the circulation of money, and ensuring the encrease and sale of our produce and manufactures.
With this view I propose that those interested in those important objects will consult together in their several neighborhoods, and as many of them as shall think proper, attend at a general meeting at Pittsburg, on Wednesday, the 29th day of September ensuing, to confer together, and consider and digest the most proper scheme for establishing a company of the nature which has been proposed.
These proposals, the result of much reflection on this interesting subject, are respectfully submitted to the consideration of all concerned.

FOREIGN ARTICLES.
TURKEY —The force of Pashwan Oglou, the Turkish Rebel, continues to increase, and he grows daily more daring. He has lately advanced, and defeated small bodies of the Grand Seignor's troops. It continues to be insinuated that Russia, Prussia, Austria, and France, entertain a design to divide the Ottoman empire among them. The respective parts are mentioned: and it is conjectured Pashwan Oglou's formidable rebellion will furnish the pretext for the invasion of Turkey to procure the work of conquest and partition. The Austrians, it is said, have already advanced.
GENOA —A constitutional code has been established in Genoa. The executive power is to be possessed by a Doge, chosen for six years. There is to be a Senate of thirty members—one third to be changed every two years—and a College of Proprietors—a College of the Merchants—and of the Learned. The members of the colleges are elected for life. The Roman Catholic religion is to be established.
SWITZERLAND —A new constitution for the Helvetic Republic has been accepted and established. About three fourths of the votes returned, were in its favor.
LONDON , July 16.
Strong jealousies exist between the Dutch and French governments, upon the subject of commerce. The Dutch government have informed the French that they shall increase the duties upon French merchandise, if more favourable measures be not adopted with respect to the trade between Holland and Belgium and the Rhine.
BOSTON , September 4.
Between 3 and 4000 fresh troops arrived at Cape-Francois about the middle of August.—Others were momentarily expected.
Leclerc is about to return from St. Domingo to France, on account of ill health. The command will devolve on Gen. Dugua.
NEW-YORK , September 4.
Mr. Hudson who came passenger in the ship Columbus, who arrived at Boston on Monday last in 45 days from Cadiz, informs that the news of the postponement of the war between the Moors and the United States was not credited at that place, as the confid had received no intimation to that effect; and the United States Schooner, Enterprize, capt. Sterret, arrived at that place, July 15, several days after the news had been current, for the purpose of taking under convoy American vessels bound into the Streights, to protect them against the Moors. The Enterprize was only two days from Gibraltar.—Capt. Sterret mentioned that there were two ships fitting out at Saffia, a Moorish port in the Atlantic; and two launches at Tatan, but cannot sail until they receive their sweeps from Tangiers, and it is difficult to get a vessel to bring them. The Moors had an agent at Gibraltar to purchase powder and ball.

PAINE'S RIGHTS OF MAN For Sale at this Office.
PROPOSALS By Daniel Bradford, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE MEDLEY; OR MONTHLY MISCELLANY.
I. THE MEDLEY shall be published in Numbers—one of which shall be ready for delivery on the first Tuesday in every month; and regularly forwarded to subscribers as directed.
II. Each Number shall contain Twenty-Four Pages, duodecimo ,—Printed with a Neat Type, on Good Paper.
III. The Price to Subscribers will be One Dollar per Annum, to be paid at the expiration of six months—or Seventy-Five Cents, at the time of subscribing.
The first Number will issue on the 4th January 1803.
THE design of this Publication being to combine Amusement with Useful Information, it will be the study of the Editor, by the variety of his subjects to attain that object, and suit the taste of each Reader.
It is expected that Literary Characters will accept the opportunity this Work will afford them, of rendering the results of their lucubrations useful to the Public.
Besides Original Essays, the MEDLEY shall contain Selections, in Prose and Verse, from the most approved Authors.
As "The proper study of Mankind is Man," Biographical Sketches of those whom talents or patriotism have rendered conspicuous, shall be frequently introduced.
THE advantages resulting from the publication of a Literary Miscellany in a Country where the circulation of Valuable Works is not extensive, must be obvious—The Editor has only to add, that Industry in the collection of materials, and particular attention to the merit and variety of Extracts, shall not be wanting on his part to entitle the MEDLEY to the patronage of the Public.
THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE, will, after the first day of October next, be published on every Tuesday instead of Friday.—The extension of the Post Roads, after that day, makes such a change necessary; as our subscribers will thereby receive their papers several days earlier than if the publication was continued on Friday.
THE Editor proposes enlarging the KENTUCKY GAZETTE, after the 1st January, to be equal in size to any paper in the United States, without increasing the price. Should he be disappointed in procuring large paper, each Subscriber shall be entitled to the MEDLEY, until the GAZETTE is so enlarged.
WHEREAS my wife ANNE OVERALL, has left my bed and board without any just cause, this is therefore to forewarn all persons from dealing with or trusting her on my account, as I am determined to pay no debts of her contracting after this date.

VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of messrs. MACBEAN & POYZER, will in future be sold by Dr. SAMUEL BROWN only, in Lexington, messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, sore Throats and approaching Consumption.—Price 1 Dollar.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOP-ING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past, cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons, of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
The above valuable Medicine is sold in boxes containing forty Lozenges, at one Dollar per box.
DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE & EXTRACT OF MUS-TARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
THIS valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp in the feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a slowness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.
Price, 1 Dollar.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident.—1 Dollar.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.

THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION.
For tetter, ring worms, and all eruptions of the skin & is highly esteemed throughout Europe and America, for clearing the skin and improving the complexion.—1 Dollar and 50 Cents.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—fickleness at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.—1 Dollar.
OBSERVE, that independent of the above Medicines, being celebrated for their efficacy throughout the United States—they are actually cheaper in general and sold at lower prices, than most individuals must pay for the drugs of which they are composed, purchased at retail prices—being prepared on a large scale and in immense quantities, and sold here, without any advance on the Baltimore prices.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ALL THE WORLD A LOTTERY.
THE world's a Lottery, take it through, The blanks are many, prizes few. The Tripling, when with hopes elate, He tries his luck in marriage state, Expecting scenes of future bliss— Thinking that he has drawn in MISS A prize of no inferior rank, Full often finds he's drawn a blank.
The blushing maid, by parents sold, To age, ambition, lust, or gold, And flatter'd that she has a prize, Will often find, to her surprise, She's bound for life (O! dreadful curse!) To a tedious blank, or something worse.
What but a Lottery is the law, Where lawyers all the prizes draw, Their clients give them many thanks, For privilege to draw the blanks. Physicians manage lottery-wise, Here death's the blank and health the prize; And 'tis a truth which most men feel, There's but few prizes in the wheel.
He that at levees of the great, With fawning cringing can await, Can many a prize of gain expect, Oft meets a blank of cold neglect. But yet of all the casual crew, The poet has the least in view, What hopes can starvling poets feel, When there's no prizes in the wheel, For should he draw the phantom name, 'Tis but a blank, an empty name.
ANECDOE.
Some robbers having broken into a gentleman's house, went to the footman's bed and told him if he moved he was a dead man. "That's a lie," cried the fellow, "if I move I'm sure I'm alive."
