Lee's
Worm destroying Lozenges.
This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive and thereby prevent the productions of worms and many fatal disorders.
In order that the heads of families may be able to judge of the complaints of children, whether they originate from worms or not, we will describe the symptoms by which means it will be easily known.
SYMPTOMS
Itching of the nose and anus; hunger with ravenous appetite; nausea; knowing pain in the stomach or intestines; foetid breath; grinding of the teeth and moaning in sleep; intermittent weak pulse, and hectic fever; faintings; and sometimes convulsion fits; paleness; wasting of the flesh; but there are several kinds of worms; Itching about the anus with tenesmus are signs of ascarides, or small thread worms. Sudden gripings about the navel denote the common round worm. Gnawing pains in the stomach, and voraciousness, the maw worms. And a weight in the belly, like the rolling of a ball, the taenia, or tape worm.
For the prevention and cure of billious and malignant fevers is recommended.
Lee's Anti-Billious Pills.
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son Baltimore.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-Billious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee & Son—this is necessary as there are other pills of the same name.

Lisbon, June 4.
Account of the battle, fought on the 16th of April near Fontanafreda.
In their retreat, the French left one regiment of the line, No. 35, in Padernou.—This regiment, commanded by adjutant general Dugomir and Col. Bressieu, was surprised by a strong body of Austrians, and compelled to surrender.
The Austrians, in their march, met, in Sassile, a French army of 35,000 men commanded by the Vice Roy Eugene Beauharnois, and the general of brigade Gillet, with 80 pieces of artillery, which, together with the reinforcement brought by general Cervelloni, who came from Italy with 15,000 men, making a total of 50,000 men. The Austrians, commanded by Arch Duke John, commenced the attack with an army of 35,000 men, and were twice obliged to fall back; but, having been joined by 20,000 men from the Tyrol, from Seravalle, and Ceneda, of infantry and cavalry, attacked the French army, in the rear. The French army, was thus placed between two fires. The battle lasted the whole day of the 16th. The French after losing a great number of men, abandoned the field to the victorious Austrians—scarcely 15,000 men escaped, whose retreat was favored by the conflagration of the village Ronco, which they set on fire to favor their retreat. The loss of the enemy was in killed, wounded and prisoners, upwards of 20,000 men.—The Vice Roy was wounded, and General Serras was made prisoner, with a number of officers of rank. The Italian regiment called Velites laid down their arms, but were afterwards compelled by the French cavalry, to take them up again. Soon after this regiment was destroyed by the Austrian cavalry. The loss of the Austrians was considerable. Gen. Giulay was wounded, after having two horses killed under him. Many of the staff officers were killed and wounded.—Some of the regiments remain with very few officers, most of them having fallen in the action. The Austrian army continued advancing. In short, the field was left completely in the power of the Austrians. Upwards of five thousand wounded French have been found between Sassile and Padernou, amongst whom is general Desaix, who was wounded and made prisoner in the first action, and was sent to the house of Signior Galvini.
Lisbon, June 1.—The army commanded by Gen. Romana attacked the French at Meira, and followed them to Paraday. Here the enemy hid themselves in a forest, which we surrounded, fired on them, and killed many. They then retreated to Lugo, leaving in our hands three pieces of cannon, &c. Our troops followed the enemy to the gates, surrounded the city, placing strong detachments at the gates, expecting that it will surrender by capitulation or compulsion. Fortunately the apostate Mazarade, who had so long been praising King Joseph in Astorga is now shut up in Lugo.
P. S.—This day, at 7 o'clock in the evening, we have received the official account of the retaking of Lugo, by Marshal Nicola Maki, 2d in command of the army of the left, and commander in chief in the absence of the Marquis Romana. In this glorious action, the resistance made by the enemy was obstinate, but they were defeated after losing 4000 men, in killed wounded and prisoners.

Letters from Elvas of the 28th ult. mention that General Cuesta had advanced his head quarters from Monasterio, to Fuente del Maestre.
The Dutch papers mention about a battle in Polonia, Archduke Ferdinand commanded there; but say nothing of its result, a convincing proof that the French were defeated, and it is believed that Warsaw had fallen into his hands.
We learn from Seville, that it is certain, that peace has been made between Russia and England, and that Russia has entered into the coalition against the grand usurper of Europe. With impatience, we expect a confirmation, as we have good reason to give credit to this news, which is given by Alava, who had arrived at Seville. In England, this event as late as the 13th of May, was considered probable,
The following appears to be the official account of the surrender of Vigo by the French to the joint forces of England and the Spanish Junta.
CAPITULATION, Of the town and forts of Vigo, occupied by the depot of the regiments forming part of the second corps of the French army in Spain.

The Gazette.
Wilmington, July 15, 1809.
In the preceding columns will be found a detailed account of the successes of the Austrians in Italy.—Since it was in type we have seen French statements of some of the same transactions, which give them a very different colouring. From a careful comparison of dates and circumstances we are inclined to believe the Austrian account very much exaggerated. In speaking of the engagement on the Tyrol the 16th of April, the French barely state that a part of their troops gave battle to the Austrian army. That the battle commenced at nine o'clock in the morning, and was very obstinately maintained on both sides. That the village of Porzia was taken and retaken several times; but that notwithstanding the superiority of the Austrian troops as to numbers, the French preserved the advantage. It does not appear that Beauharnois was in this engagement at all, though the Austrian account states that he was wounded.—The town of Vicenza was his head-quarters as late as the 24th of April, and it does not appear that they had been elsewhere for ten days or two weeks before.
The police of the city of New Orleans, in consequence of the great influx of distressed fugitives from the Spanish islands, have had a meeting, and appointed committees in each ward, to make arrangements for their relief, and to give employment to such as are able and willing to work.
The following well-written article is taken from the Maryland Republican , a spirited weekly print recently established at Annapolis. In republishing it we have no wish to perpetuate resentments too justly excited in the breasts of our countrymen, by the former conduct of the British ministry. They have thought proper to promise us every thing we asked—our government place full reliance in that promise, and we sincerely hope their confidence may not be abused.
One of the most ridiculous deceptions with which the readers of federal papers have been bored, is certainly the serious attempt to claim for that party, the merit of attaining the accommodation lately effected with G. Britain.
That an accommodation was desired by the federalists we have no disposition to doubt; so was it likewise by the democrats. The difference between us was merely about the terms. They so ardently panted for peace that they would have obtained it even on those ignominious terms so insultingly offered us by Great Britain. They would take it although our wounds were still bleeding with the unatoned insults of the 22d of June, 1807. They would seek peace with England, although it should come shackled with the system of their orders of November, 1807, and the king's proclamation. Some of them sought peace so devoutly, that no measure of insult, no pitch of aggression, no humiliation of terms, could arouse other feelings, or other demands, than reconciliation with England—against whom, forsooth, "we have no cause of complaint" in their estimation!—The democrats on the contrary would be content with nothing less than redress for injuries, respect for our commercial rights, independent of their "regulations" and a promise of settling certain other accounts—such terms we would have maintained to the last extremity rather than resign. Terms that we had offered to her long since, and that her ministers had insultingly ridiculed and refused.—However, they have thought better of it, and now solicit an accommodation on those very democratic offers of conciliation. They volunteer restitution for the Chesapeake affair—they withdraw all pretensions to obstruct, to tax, or to regulate our trade; and they promise a minister charged to accommodate all other differences.—We ask whether the federalists choose to assume any credit for our obtaining these terms of Britain? They are welcome to congratulate themselves that peace is obtained, but it is our exultation that the accommodation is honourable and advantageous to America.
Whilst they all join in felicitating us upon peace with England, is it not observable how they refrain from triumphing in the conditions that have been obtained? We have not seen one single line of exultation in all the federal papers upon this subject.—It is well enough however, when they cannot be consistent, to be as consistent as they can.
It would illly agree with these same editors and writers who criminated our government for provoking the affair of the Chesapeake, charged the president with murder, and insisted on the right of the British officer to do as he did, so soon to turn round and exult that Britain herself had acknowledged and paid for it as a crime!—It would not do for those, who so lately contended that Britain was in honour bound never again to offer restitution for the affair of the Chesapeake whilst the president's proclamation remained in force, now to claim any honour for compelling her to offer it, contrary to that honour, whilst it still remained in full effect! It would hardly do for those who have continually maintained that the orders of council were to retaliate on the decrees of France, and who joined the British minister in asserting that the faith, the honour and the existence of Britain was staked, and that she never would repeal her orders, until we compelled France to rescind her decrees, now to exult that she has been compelled to falsify all that she has said, and THAT they have repented. It would not do either for those who carried their ridicule and contempt of all our measures to coerce foreign powers to such an extent as may well be remembered, so soon to acknowledge that all the terms and conditions we had aimed at, have been accomplished.—They will not even submit to accept the excuse that the British ministers have so unwillingly picked out for themselves on this occasion, because they would then stand self condemned as false prophets and blind politicians.†
The various subterfuges to which they resort in attempting to claim the credit of the accommodation itself, is quite amusing—we apprehend no serious evil from this palpable nonsense, because none but those who are prejudiced beyond political redemption can be captivated into a moment's belief of the assertion, and we should not descend to demonstrate their gross absurdity, but for the humour it may afford. When they confine themselves (as is the case with the most knowing amongst them) to mere plain round assertions, and finish off their sentences in general terms, it serves them best, especially if any thing invidious against the old administration, or complimentary to the new policy of the new, can be got along with it to arrest the at-
† NON-INTERCOURSE —This, of all other measures, the British party in America (as Mr. Stevens calls them in the house of Commons) had denounced as particularly hostile to Britain and would eventually produce war—they (the ministry) on the contrary got astride of this very measure to bring us concessions.
tention immi-lately, and keep the reticence reflecting on the fact.—But when they attempt to descend to any thing like particulars, and wander into assertions on the how and the which way, it spoils the beauty of the assertion amazingly!—It is even so plain a case that the ingenuity of the lawyers have not devised a plausible plea to put up for currency—the general expression is, that the measures of the Eastern states, the disaffection of the people, and the language of the minority of Congress, have produced it.
This is like the Indian's astronomy—he thought it probable that the world was borne upon the back of an elephant, but he could not venture to say what the elephant stood upon.—The how and which way the measures of the Eastern states, the noise made for the people, the language of the opposition, or the publication of the federal papers, have contributed to effect an accommodation with Britain, still remains unaccounted for.—Did the former contribute towards it by resolving the measures of government unconstitutional, and infinitely more distressing to us than to our enemies? Did they effect it by declaring that a perseverance in our system would insure ruin and destroy the union?—Did they invite peace by pronouncing our administration sold to France and determined on hostility with England? or they invite concession by declaring that the weak puerile speculative philosophy administration was neither to be kicked nor cuffed into a sense of resistance? yet these are the most prominent of their "spirited measures!"
It is unfortunate for us common sort of reasoners that so many have neglected to account for the wonderful operations of these measures in producing this singular and unexpected consequence—because a natural curiosity urges directly to enquire with astonishment, how means apparently so ill fitted to such ends could have so fortunately accomplished them—I confess myself puzzled to discover their course of reasoning. The only method that my ingenuity can point out to me is THROUGH THE COMPASSION of his majesty, and his majesty's compassionate ministers—what strengthens this impression is the well remembered instance of the operation of the same sensibility upon the same personages in very near the same case.—Mr. Canning assured Mr. Pinckney last August, of the deep affection his majesty was under for the sufferings of the poor AMERICANS under the embargo, and that pity, (purely christian) would dispose him to release us if it was not so inconsistent with his honour, and the safety of his dominion!—But when his majesty further learnt the evils so feelingly described by a federal remonstrance, and was taught to view the danger, disunion and distress that our measures were heaping upon us, he concluded it quite reasonable that even these worthy considerations themselves, the honour of his majesty, and the safety of his dominions should be forgotten in the abundance of his charity. Therefore the federalists produced the accommodation!
But as the party have found by some former experience in getting down British commissioners for America, that it was not a very palatable doctrine with the people; being rather puzzled to discover any very PERSUASIVE complexion to dress their measures in; and quite averse to giving them a coercive character, even if they had admitted of it; they have descended a link further in the Indian's logic, and stood his great Elephant upon the back of a mighty Mammoth. The federal party have procured this accommodation by effecting or compelling a change in the American government and measures.—But they have invented nothing for this mammoth of assertion to stand upon, and the how? and which way? still remains a mystery.
Did they produce a change in the government? did they force Jefferson to resign? did they elect his successor? or did they strive every nerve to defeat his election? Did they not, with the hopes of a federal man was destroyed by the obvious complexion of the union! did they not endeavour to run any other popular democrat in preference to Madison? who was it that advised, at the same moment, the Southern states to vote for Monroe, and the Eastern states to vote for Clinton! did they not, in short, resort to all sorts of party measures, to divide and destroy the support to the candidate selected by the great body of the democrats? we remember well the attempt to make Burr president in 1800, many would again have preferred any traitor in principle and character to the man selected by the majority.—Yet these people boast of effecting a change in our government with as much modesty as they speak of the alteration in the measures of the government!—Is it indeed altering measures to accept of the same terms from Britain in April that we had offered to them the August previous?—Is it a change of measures to accept the accomplishment of the very objects we were contending for?—All we wanted in the dispute, and all we would have demanded in war with Britain, was conceded, or respectfully promised by their overtures through Mr. Erskine. Yet to accept them is denominated a change in our government—and that change instead of being produced by the offers made by Britain is produced by the federalists! But it is no change in Mr. Canning's measures to offer now what he refused to accept nine months ago—no, not the least! Alas for some shadow to call consistency!
FOR THE DELAWARE GAZETTE
To the Citizens of New Castle county.
The deranged state of the finances of the county calls for remedy. One of the people, who appeared in the Museum sometime since

asks if suits have not been brought some years ago for a large balance owing from a certain county Collector. The records of the court shew, that, by order of the Levy Court, suits were brought by the then county Treasurer for a balance reported to be in the hands of the collector of tax for 1787 & 1789. Had the rules of law been as rigidly enforced on the collector and deputy as they exercised their power over the property of respectable farmers of this county, they would not have been permitted to retain some thousands in their pockets for twenty years, without even paying one cent of the interest. The advertisements of this county collector for sales of freeholders property are recollected by many of the citizens of the county. "One of the people" enquires, why are those suits not brought to issue, and the money paid into the hands of the Treasurer to meet the pressing demands on him? Since those suits were brought the then treasurer has been removed by the Levy Court; the members of the then Levy Court have been all changed; the new Treasurer, perhaps, may not have considered it his duty without a special order of the court to press those suits; the Levy Court being composed of new members, one of whom was deputy and security of the collector who had been sued, the court may have been induced, from motives of delicacy to their brother commissioner, to adopt the new mode of raising money by resolution, in order to build the bridge over the Appoquinimink creek and repair the Brandywine bridge at Wilmington. This mode was more convenient for the collector and his deputy than for to draw out of their pockets the funds of the county which have been unjustly detained for near twenty years. This same collector and his deputy have become clamorous about public improvements, and, in particular, a bridge over the Christiana creek at Newport, which has been contemplated to be erected at the expense of the county, in the same manner as other public bridges are made and maintained. This bridge would be a considerable accommodation to the inhabitants of Christiana, Mill Creek, Brandywine and New Castle hundreds, and can and would be erected without any additional tax on the citizens of the county. The interest on the balance of tax in the hands of the collector, as reported to be due, will complete a handsome bridge at Newport; but it may be observed by some that the application of the interest of this debt due upon taxes, collected twenty years ago, would be an innovation, and that this could only be done by deranging old establishments of retaining the public money without interest. In order that the public taxes may be applied to the public uses provided for by law, the citizens of the county ought ever to be watchful in the selection for public servants. Considerable injury has been sustained by inattention to the appointment of members of the general Assembly & Levy Court commissioners. Public credit suffers by placing in the hands of men of desperate fortunes the collection of the public dues. It is to be hoped that the citizens of the county will be on their guard, and let no designing hypocrite ever have a place in our legislature and Levy Court ticket; and I do hope that at next session of the legislature, the General Assembly will make some further provision respecting the public taxes, so as to insure the punctual payment at the treasury in a more summary mode than at present.
A FARMER.
SECRETS WORTH KNOWING.
It is observed by the Plebian, that the letters of the late President Adams to the Editor of the Boston Patriot are of the highest interest to the American public.
It is satisfactorily disclosed by Mr. Adams, that as early as the period of his accession to the presidency, a self-created and irresponsible junto was formed, with the design secretly so overawe and control not only the acts of the executive department, but also the legislative branch of government. That Alexander Hamilton was at the head of this Junto; which embraced Timothy Pickering, Fisher Ames, and many others termed "leading men" in the federal party.
That the objects of this junto were hostile to the peace and liberties of the country.
That the 'party violence' and political persecutions which distinguished the period of Mr. Adams's administration, were excited by Hamilton more than any other man.
That this junto entertained a cordial hatred for every man WHO HAD LABORED AND SUFFERED EARLY IN THE REVOLUTION—and of course for their political sentiments—sentiments, which gave birth to our glorious revolution.
That Mr. Hamilton, (backed probably by what Mr. Adams calls his privy counsellors) actually had the consummate effrontery to send to the executive 'a whole system of instructions for the conduct of the President, the Senate and House of Representatives.'
That this system embraced the alien and sedition laws and political fast—measures subsequently adopted.
That it contemplated an army of Fifty Thousand Men, and a tax upon every article not yet taxed by government, to support this enormous army, which in return
would be able to enforce the collection of these taxes, should the people become refractory.
That the institution of the embassy to France which affected a treaty with that nation, met with an indecorous and determined opposition from the junto; which evinced on that occasion a fixed resolution to effect a war with France and an alliance with Great Britain. And.
That in their endeavors to effect these points, they were zealously aided by British presses both in England and America, and by American presses under the controul of British agents.
Such are some of the most important facts disclosed by Mr. Adams. Although much is said of the folly and dotage of the writer not even an attempt has been made to disprove any of his allegations. Indeed such an attempt might be imprudent, as it would probably lead to disclosures still more unpleasant to the junto.
Mr. Adams, in these publications, has in a great measure exonerated himself from the blame which was attached to his conduct on account of the obnoxious measures of his administration. The measures originated with Hamilton and his privy counsellors, a self created junto, and were carried into effect by means the most wicked and despicable. If we recall to mind the artifices which were adopted by this junto to induce the venerable patriot to embrace their system of measures: the fulsome adulation which was paid to his person, and the intrigues and artifices practised upon him by the members of his cabinet council—it is matter of surprise that his firmness and patriotism were proof against these combined attacks.
The justice which Mr. Adams has done to the 'genius, learning, and patriotism of Mr. Jefferson, of which "an animate friendship for five and twenty years" has given him a most exalted opinion; and the handsome compliment which he pays to "the fine talents and amiable qualities and manners of Mr. Madison"—while they afford an honorable instance of candor and magnanimity in a political adversary infinitely outweigh all the slanders against these statesmen who have been propagated through the British and junto press.
All our readers must recollect the strange conduct of the British, in keeping up so large an armed force at Halifax several months since, while the Federalists were so lustily deprecating the embargo, and so violent in their measures of opposition to government. The mystery, we are informed, is about to be developed, and the fact demonstrated, that a gang of villains in the United States had actually made something like an arrangement with Great Britain for a severance of the Union for obtaining 'protection under her cannon' as Coleman advised, and for declaring war against France, as the Federal governor of Massachusetts recommended.
Balt. Ev. Post.
The 'British party in America' begin to fear they have praised Mr. Madison too much. So formidable was the name of Jefferson to their unholy design of reducing our country to vassalage and slavery, that, to destroy his reputation, they most unsautimoniously began to praise Madison. The business turns out precisely as the republicans expected—the rules of conduct of these two illustrious men are found to be the same; and the probability now is that Mr. Madison will be as decently blackguardly by the gentlemen-tories in a few months, as ever Mr. Jefferson was. May he always be hated by KNAVES. ibid.
State of parties. —There are but two parties in the United States. The great American Republican party whose motto is respect for the Constitution, and impartial neutrality, while such neutrality can be preserved consistently with the national honor and interest. And the small British party, whom the good sense of the people of the United States has thrown so far in the background.
In the front ranks of the great party of Republican Constitutionalists, will be found the names of the immortal WASHINGTON, MADISON, FRANKLIN, WARREN and OTIS, with a host of other heroes, sages and patriots, who have toiled and bled in the service of their country.
The leader of the small but turbulent party, was ALEXANDER HAMILTON, an alien. By his death, Messieurs Pickering and Gore have been promoted to the highest ranks in this faction—and may now be considered as the chiefs and head-men of the British junto. The articles of their creed, or what may with propriety may be styled the Federal Rule of Three, are the following:—"Subserviency to Britain, hatred to France and contempt for the United States." Bast. Chron.
It has been justly remarked that every season brings with it an obligation to the performance of particular duties. The remark holds equally true of communities and individuals. The period of war or revolution calls for ardor of feeling and energy of conduct; while that of tranquil and peaceable times requires sedateness and an industrious pursuit of the ordinary avocations of life. The happy versatility of the human character admits of an easy transition from one of these extremes to the other; and, at least for a time, the animation and exertion of war seem to afford as much delight as the calm of peace. There is, consequently, but little difficulty in creating or maintaining in a nation a temper accommodated to either of these situations.
The great difficulty is to graduate the national pulse to an intermediate state of things, which, neither demanding the noise or exertion of war, nor satisfied with the security of peace, requires a state of mind the most difficult of acquisition; a state of mind, under the dominion of which the arts of peace shall be actively cultivated with a scrupulous vigilance against the dangers that may beset them; a state of mind, which though full of hope is not devoid of fear, and which shall, at the same time, dictate a pursuit of ordinary avocation, without relapsing into a security which may prove fatal.
Such, it may be confidently assumed, is our present situation. The sun has pierced the dark clouds which lately hung over us; but whether it will continue to enlighten us with a steady ray, or whether new clouds will arise to obscure our future prospects, may be considered as very uncertain.
The promises of Great Britain are fair. They are such as ought to induce us to hope for every thing. But while we entertain this best feeling of an honest heart, let us shield ourselves with a spirit that is prepared for events, whatever they may be. The fact is, that while the world continues in its present troubled state, every day may be expected to bring with it a new vicissitude. Ardently as we may strive to withdraw ourselves from its collisions, we are a part of the great family of mankind, and cannot, by any prudence on our part, avoid participating more or less in the evils that beset it.
Besides, it will be almost a miracle to remain for any length of time on an equally good footing with France and England. The manifestation of the good will of one is almost of itself sufficient to produce the enmity of the other; and the actual or probable hostility of either should teach us the duty of maintaining an imposing attitude.
It is, probably, to these considerations that we are indebted to the measures of the late session of Congress; or rather their abstinence from the adoption of measures, which, however desirable in periods of profound peace, might, and, it is likely, would have had a pernicious effect on our foreign relations. While that body have honorably passed the necessary acts to carry the pacific arrangements of the President into effect, they have refused to make any relaxation in their measures of defence against eventual danger. They have wisely considered the expenditure of a few millions as an atom compared with the maintenance of peace, the security of our rights, and the preservation of our honor. They have, therefore, neither reduced the army or the navy, or, indeed, relaxed a single defensive measure adopted the last winter. On the contrary, they have added to those measures, by the liberal appropriation of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for fortifying our ports and harbours.
It is almost a work of supererogation to say a word in justification of a policy, the correctness of which has been scarcely questioned in or out of Congress. But, to test its correctness, two enquiries may be addressed to the mind of every intelligent reader, whose solution must be conclusive.
However probable, it is certain that we shall obtain from G. Britain an observance of our maritime rights.
If the event should be otherwise, and the strong arm of her power should be imposed upon us, who would not condemn the infatuated credulity and wretched parsimony, that, regardless of every admonition of experience, took promises for acts, and to save a little money jeopardised the whole wealth of the nation?
Such has been the course pursued by the government, a course which every good man will rejoice to see crowned with the general approbation of the nation. The government has done its duty. Let the people do theirs. Let them support the attitude it has taken. Let them assume and maintain, what may be justly denominated, an armed neutrality. Let them do justice to the amiable sentiments of the British government. Let them convince the world, that they sincerely wish to be on a footing of good will with all nations. Having demonstrated this, they will have the inestimable satisfaction of having discharged every duty which can be required of them by God or man. They will feel the proud consciousness of virtue. They will have secured, by those happy means, their rights and peace; or, they will be prepared, like a band of brethren, in case of failure, to embark the collective energies of the whole nation in defence of its rights. The justice of mankind will be on their side, whose best wishes, perhaps best efforts will attend them.
In manifesting this amicable feeling, two evils ought to be guarded against. In our exultation at an accommodation with Great Britain, we should be so guarded as to avoid inspiring
her with the opinion that, to gain it, we are ready to sacrifice any of our essential rights, or inducing France to consider our disposition to England as arising from hostility to her. As it is our interest, so it ought to be our constant effort to manifest a sincere desire to be on good terms with both nations, for the jealousy entertained by each of whom in regard to whatever effects the other we ought to make a due allowance. This will go far towards impressing both with the conviction that our sentiments are rigidly impartial, and that if the course we pursue towards one be different from that pursued toward the other, it arises solely from their different conduct towards us; and, that so soon as their conduct towards us shall become the same, our measures towards them will be characterised by a like similitude.
In our joy, therefore, let there be a chastened sobriety. It will not be the less sincere, because manifested in terms of gravity and forbearance, for these are the trials of an enlightened judgment, and have, moreover, a manliness and stability about them in vain sought for in the ravings of immediate passion. Something too is certainly due towards our self-respect. Immoderate and extravagant rejoicings at the good will of a foreign nation may derogate from our character and produce the belief that we are so dependent upon it for our happiness, that we will, if pushed, make unworthy sacrifices to gain it, thus depriving our government, in the management of our exterior relations, of the important auxiliary which it might otherwise derive from the unyielding patriotism of the people, on whose disposition in a republican government every thing must eventually depend.

Poetry.
OLD CLOWTER AND HIS MARE. BY W. HOLLOWAY.
OLD Clowter was a man of Kent Intent on worldly riches, Who once a-week to market rode In dirty boots and breeches.
The mare he rode was grey with age, Toothless, and greas'd and founder'd, With outstretch neck, and hobling gait Thro' thick and thin she flounder'd.
Nor always could her master's arm With pulling hard and hauling, Like the tir'd came-on his knees Prevent the beast from falling.
One day he jogg'd beside the squire Across the fields of stubble, And though he toiled, with might and main, To save his bones from trouble,
Ah! nought avai'ed, his blundering steed Perplex'd by stones that truckled, Held out awhile, till in a doze Devoutly down it knockled.
When luckily of patridges Loud whizzing rose a covey, "Be not alarmed your honour" cried Old sly-boots—for—la love ye,
This horse is worth his weight in gold, Sir, 'tis a noble setter, And no trained dog, in all the world, Can do its business better.
You saw it drop before the birds, Rose in the air above ye? And had we then our nets at hand, We had secured the covey.
"Astonishing!" the squire replied, " 'Twould suit me to a tittle," Replied the clown, "for fifty pounds 'Tis yours, too' much too little!
The bargain's struck, the cash paid down, And Clowter sacks the treasure; While of his Rosinante proud The squire exults past measure.
But to! upon a future day They met, as fate would have it, When thus the squire addressed the clown, Who ready stood to brave it.
"Ho, Farmer, what a cursed jade Was that you lately sold me, But, for the safety of my neck You surely should have told me.
Why, sir, I said, the clown replied, The horse was good at falling, But as to trot, or walk, or stand, That's quite another calling."
Miscellany.
LONGEVITY.
There died in Feb. 1805, at Gloves, near Atherry, in Ireland, of a short illness, Dennis Coorobe, of Ballenadag- gin, aged 117 years. The life of this man was remarkable not only for its duration, but for its exemption from most of the evils of humanity. He retained his mental and corporeal fac- culties in full vigor to the last.—Three weeks before his death, he walked out and home 26 miles in one day, and read the smallest print without glasses, as distinctly and easily as a boy of sixteen. Two days previous to his death, he never remembered to have had any complaint or sickness whatever, tooth-ache only excepted. The first fifty-six years of his life passed entirely free from even the tooth-ache; having enjoyed, till then, sound teeth. After that period, his teeth began to decay; but, in the course of 15 years, a new set ap- peared, of which he continued in possession till his death.
Of his mortal character, it is only recorded that he was stedfastly an ho- nest man; sober, regular, and per- fectly upright in his deportment. His mind was naturally strong and acute, not disciplined by literary education, but enriched by observation and ex- perience. He spent his life in the cultivation of the same farm, the property which he had acquired ear- ly in life, and bent his attention chief- ly to agriculture, in which he was generally allowed to be eminently proficient. He was one of the earli- st who introduced and propagated the potatoe, which he cultivated for the last seventy years.
We naturally feel some curiosity as to such a man's commerce with the other sex, and as to the posterity he leaves behind.—We are told that he was seven times married. He was first married at the age of 21. With his last wife, who survived him, he lived longer than with any of the pre- vious ones, that is, 24 years, having married her when 93 years old. In general, they were short lived, and were young women of his immediate neighbourhood. The years of his widowhood, taken together amounted to 11. All the children born to him were 48, which is, on the average, one for every two years, since the first year of his marriage. He had three sets of twins; and his third wife bore him 11 children in 12 years.
His grand-children were in number 236, which is a little more than 5 to each child. His great-grand chil- dren amounted to 944, which is more, proportionally, than 6 to each child. He had 25 great-grand-children, the oldest of whom is now 4 years old. Of 1253 descendants of his body, 487 survived him.
By his last wife, he had 6 sons, the youngest of whom is a fine lad of 18.
These facts are extracted from a register kept by the old man, of the names, births, marriages deaths, and general situation of his wives and de- scendants. The keeping of this reg- ister was his principal amusement; and his descendants being scattered far and wide over the earth, he took great pains to make the catalogue ex- act and complete. It is to be hoped, that some curious person may rescue this document from oblivion, by committing it to the press. It must certainly lead to some very valuable inferences, as to the constitution of human bodies, and of human soci- ety.
HISTORICAL CURIOSITY.
During the troubles in the reign of Charles I. a country girl came to London, in search of a place, as a ser- vant maid, but not succeeding she applied herself to carrying out beer from a brew house, and was one of those called tub women. The brew- er observing a well-looking girl in this low occupation, took her into his family as a servant, and after a while married her; but he died while she was yet a young woman, and left her a large fortune. The business of the brewery was dropped, and she was recommended to Mr Hyde, as a gentleman of skill in law, to settle her husband's affairs. Hyde (who was afterwards the Earl of Clarendon) finding the widow's fortune very con- siderable, married her. Of this mar- riage there was no other issue than a daughter, who was the wife of James II. and mother of Mary and Anne, Queens of England.
PERSIA.
Curious Anecdotes from the late Travels of M. Gardanne in Persia.
The politeness of the Persians is of a species perfectly oriental. A noble- man of high rank went one day to the French Ambassador's "to beg his pardon because the weather was so bad in Persia."
The diplomatic conferences at Tehran are held in the same man- ner as our dramatic exhibitions, with the doors open, and in the pres- ence of a multitude of auditors. The orientals cannot conceive the necessity of secrecy in the conventi- ons between States.
The women are kept as much en- slaved in Persia as in the rest of the East. A Frenchman belonging to the suite of the Ambassador, one day excited a great uproar at Teheran, for having ventured to cast some in- quisitive looks at the garden of a ser- aglio. At the sight of a man, the women uttered screams of affright,
some of them even snatched up arms, and prepared to repel ogles with mus- ket balls.
Mr. Gardanne one day asked a no- bleman how many children he had. "I don't know," replied he—"enquire of my secretary." The Secretary re- turned his list and answered his mas- ter had seventeen children.

A VALUABLE Tract of Land for sale, At Private Sale.
THE subscriber offers for sale the tract of Land on which he at present re- sides, situate in Mill-Creek hundred in the county of New-Castle and state of Dela- ware, containing two hundred and fifty acres more or less, with a comfortable dwelling house and kitchen, a cellar, barn, and a good stone spring-house thereon erected, a young apple orchard, and a vari- ety of other fruit trees of the best quality; it is well watered by a number of excellent springs; on said tract there is near twenty acres of good timothy meadow land, about forty acres now in clover, a large propor- tion of woodland—and the residue good arable land capable of improvement to a high state of cultivation, being within one mile of limestone where it can be had on reasonable terms eight miles from Wil- mington and six from New-Port on the main road leading from thence to Lancas- ter. As it is presumed any person inclining to purchase will view the premises, it is thought unnecessary to give a further de- scription—it will bear a division into three parts, and will be sold either the whole to- gether or in parts as may best suit the pur- chaser. If it is not sold at private sale on or before the 28th day of September next, it will be sold at public sale on the premises on said day, and a liberal credit given for a considerable part of the purchase money, at which time attendance will be given and the terms made known, by JAMES OCHELTREE.

One fourth of the above lottery is now com- pleted in the drawing. The gain of the wheel for the last three days has exceeded the expec- tations of the warmest friends of the institu- tion. As the trustees are desirous to expedite the completion as soon as possible, they offer the few remaining tickets at 5 dols. 25 cts. till the next day's drawing. The same justice due to those gentlemen mentioned in a former ad- vertisement, who have honourably and exten- sively embarked in promoting the laudable ob- ject, induces the trustees, to postpone the next day's drawing till the 6th day of September next.
