Lexington, October 5.
"Mournful is the tale."
Died, suddenly, on Sunday evening, in this town, RICHARD TERRELL Esq. of Jefferson county. The sudden and unexpected death of this gentleman, it is supposed was occasioned by an apoplexy. He was an affectionate and tender husband, an indulgent parent and a respectable man, whose loss will be severely felt by his family and friends.
LANCASTER, September 22.
DIED, on the 12th inst. of a Cancer in his groin, at Newtown, Bucks county, whither he had gone for a cure, ROBERT DICKSON, one of the Editors of this paper, in the 37th year of his age; and on the Tuesday following, his remains were interred in the Presbyterian burial ground of that place.
The circumstances that led to his death were gradual and distressing. A sore on his leg, unattended to in early life, increased by degrees, until amputation was found necessary; which operation was performed about 18 months ago. After enduring so much, he had more to undergo. From the vitiated humors, a cancer succeeded; under which he long suffered with many fortitude, and Christian resignation. His death is feelingly lamented by his relations, and sincerely regretted by all who knew him. Benevolent and amiable through life, he lived and died without reproach. His duty to his God was always his nearest concern; and, in the hope of a glorious immortality, he welcomed his approaching end in peace and contentment. If a sincere christian, an obedient citizen, and amiable companion be acceptable in heaven; then do we believe he has received the happy plaudit, "Well done thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
(Intelligencer.)
It is well known that in Egypt, India, and the hotter parts of America that abound with poisonous serpents, there are certain individuals who possess the power of entirely disarming these formidable animals, and are able to handle them with perfect impunity, at the very time that any other person approaching them incautiously would be fatally convinced of their ability to destroy. This happy exemption is attributed by the people themselves to the preservative effects of certain vegetables, the knowledge of which has hitherto been carefully concealed. Many of the European philosophers, have however, treated the affair as a mere juggler. This state of uncertainty is now, happily for humanity and science, relieved by the most important communication from Don Pedro D'Orbies Y Vanges, through the medium of Count Rumford, which, if entirely to be depended upon, will entitle the communicator to high rank among the benefactors of mankind. Don Pedro is a native of Santa Fe, and, in the year 1788, being at Margarita, he met with a slave who possessed the power of charming the most venomous of the American serpents; after the negro had exhibited his skill, he was induced by a reward to promise to discover his secret. The next morning he returned with the leaves of a plant called Vejuco du Guaco , and having bruised them in the presence of Don Pedro, gave him two large spoonfuls to drink—then making three incisions between the fingers of each hand, he inoculated the Spanish with the same juice, and performed a similar operation on each foot, and on each side of the breast after which he informed him he was no longer accessible to the poison of serpents. Don Pedro then after making the negro answerable for any ill consequences, took into his hands several times one of the serpents that had been brought by the slave the day before, without receiving the smallest injury from the animal. Encouraged by the first attempt, two domestics, being in like manner prepared with the Guaco juice, went into the fields, and soon returned with another kind of serpent equally venomous with the former, without sustaining any hurt. Another person being similarly prepared, and afterwards bitten by a poisonous serpent received no further injury than a slight local inflammation. Since this period, Don Pedro has repeatedly caught serpents with his own hands with absolute impunity employed no farther preparation than merely drinking a little of the Guaco juice. The plant, whose effects are thus attested, has not yet been admitted into any botanical system, but it is amply described in a memoir by the Spanish gentleman, already mentioned, inserted in a weekly paper published at Santa Fe. It is not of the compound flowered or syngenesious class. The stamina are five in number, united by their anthers into a cylinder, through which rises the pistil with a deeply divided summit. The corolla is monoperalous, infundibuliform, with five indentations, and of a yellow colour; each calix contains four florets, and several of these grow together, forming a corymbus: the seeds are broad and featured; the root porous, perenial; the stem straight, cylindrical when young, but when old becomes pentagonal; leaves are heart shaped, opposite, a dark green mixed with violet, velvety on the upper surface. It grows by the sides of rivulets and in shady places, in the viceroyalty of Santa Fe.
PARIS, July 8.
The municipality of Montpelier, where the father of Buonaparte died on the 24th of February, 1785, have resolved to erect a monument. The following is to be the design
of the monument: to the left a pedestal; in the middle of the town of Montpelier, accompanied by religion and other figures, pointing with the right to the pedestal, and raising the stone from the tomb; beneath this inscription:
Sors du Tombeau, ton fils, Napoleon, T'eleva a Rimmortalite.
NASSAU, (N. F.) August 8.
On Monday, arrived off the Bar, the American brig Warren, Capt. Eddy, 5 days from Cape Francois—Capt. E. informed us that 8000 troops, and 5 sail of men of war had arrived at the Cape on the 3d inst. that the day after their arrival, the negroes, headed by Toussaint's sons, who had joined them, formed a fort not far from the Cape, and killed every Frenchman in it. The evening previous to Capt. E's sailing, an engagement took place so near the town, that the report of the guns was distinctly heard by the people on board the vessels in the harbor. The event was not known. The French troops continue very sickly—particularly those last arrived from France.
Provisions were very low at the Cape, flour sold so low as 4 dollars per barrel.
GREENSBURG, September 24.
Seventy-one passengers have arrived at quarantine, off New-York, in the brig Orion, from Sligo in Ireland.
The elections in Rhode-Island have terminated uncommonly favorable to the republican interest. Messrs. Stanton and Knight are chosen for Congress; and a very large majority of the assembly are republican. A federal paper states the republican majority for the Congress ticket at 700—a republican print says it exceeds 1000.
NEW-YORK, September 17.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Constellation, dated May 24th, 1802, at sea.
"On the 18th inst. we arrived off Algiers, and made the signal for our consul to come on board which he did. Mr. O'Brien informs, that on the 8th inst. an Algerine frigate of 44 guns ran alongside a Portuguese frigate of the same force, fired a broadside into her, boarded and carried her with the loss of 32 men, the Portuguese having, in killed and wounded 72 men; among the former were the captain & first lieutenant. The Portuguese was thrown entirely off his guard by the Algerine's having American colours, and his not having the least idea of meeting an Algerine in that place, being five leagues distant from Gibraltar and two from the Spanish shore.
It is, however a great disgrace to the Portuguese navy, to be surprised in that manner, as no dependence ought to be placed in colours. O'Brien also informs that Spain in order to avoid a war threatened by the Algerines has very recently consented to pay to Algiers the enormous sum of two millions of dollars, and to alter her national colours—This, with the capture of the Portuguese frigate has so elated the Algerines that our consul says he expects the Dey will shortly, and at an unguarded moment declare war against the United States—I hope he may, and that we may have the honour of battering their towns about their ears. They will find in us a nation far superior to either Spain or Portugal in the arts of war. By making them feel our power we should render the U. States feared and respected by those Barbarians, and insure safety to the lives and property of our citizens in those seas.—Enclosed is the account Mr. O'Brien gives us of the strength of the regency of Algiers.

Algiers has about 50 gun boats, half of the number could be got in order in about a month. They have about 200 sail of coasters with lattine sails, each 20 or 30 tons. There are about 6,000 Turks, about 6,000 half Turks; and with difficulty they could raise 50,000 militia or rabble. This regency has 50 or 60 million of dols. and has in chained captivity 1500 Christians, and is permitted to be a licenced plunderer of all Europe.

Extract of a letter from the same, dated Tunis Bay, June 2, 1802.
"We brought with us presents from our government to the Bey of Tunis, they
consisted of four muskets and four pair of pistols, surpassing for workmanship and elegance any thing you can almost imagine, being inlaid with gold and sham diamonds. You may suppose they were elegant when I tell you that one of the muskets cost £800 sterling the cost of the whole amounting to upwards of £7000 sterling. The Bey was much pleased with these presents, and observed to our consul that they were worthy of a prince. The Enterprize arrived here last evening from Tripoli. They tell us there are four Swedish frigates and one American (the Bolton) cruising off Tripoli and blockading the port so that nothing can either go in or out. The Tripolitans are in a state of starvation, and will probably be willing to come to any terms, in the course of a few weeks.
Yesterday we had the gratification of walking over the ruins of the celebrated city of Carthage, Mr. Eaton, American consul, and captain Murry, being of the party. We were shown the plain on which Regulus the first Roman that entered Africa in a hostile manner, fought his celebrated battle, and also the plain where Scipio and Hannibal fought a pitched battle. We saw the remains of many of the ancient temples and city walls. But what remains more perfect than any thing else is the aqueduct by which water was brought into the city from a mountain, by a route of seventy miles. We all dined together in one of the reservoirs, after fatiguing ourselves by walking over the ruins. I expect we shall sail to-morrow for Tripoli."
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Constellation, dated Tunis Bay June 2, 1802.
"I suppose that the affair of the Tunisian vessels being plundered by some of the crew of the Enterprize will be much misrepresented. With the view of removing any unfavorable impression, that may be made by a false account, I have been particular in obtaining the most accurate information and you may rely upon the following as a true statement of facts. On the 5th ult. the Enterprize discovered a vessel that had come out of Tripoli, and made sail after her. Upon hailing her, captain Sterret ordered lieutenant Heath to board her, examine her papers, and search her. Lieutenant Heath boarded her and ordered three of his men to assist in looking for papers, but with positive orders not to take away any thing. While searching, one of the men found a watch, and another a purse of money, which they contrived to conceal. Upon returning the Tunisian hailed lieutenant Heath, and told him he had been robbed. As soon as the boat got on board the Enterprize all the boat's crew were examined but nothing could be found upon them; they therefore concluded that the Tunisian had told a falsehood. On the 20th the same month the Enterprize arrived at Tunis. Upon going on shore, they heard that a Tunisian vessel had complained to the Bey of Tunis of having been robbed some days by an American Schooner. The officers of the Enterprize immediately searched the whole vessel and crew, for the articles mentioned and after a strict examination three of the men confessed the fact.—They were instantly put into irons and are now on board the Boston, to be tried.—Thus you see that both captain Sterret and lieutenant Heath, so far from being in the least culpable made every exertion to detect and bring these villains to the punishment they so richly deserved."
NEW-YORK, September 18.
Letters are received in town, by the ship Shepherdess from Cape Francois, of so late a date as the 27th August, which mention that all is perfectly tranquil there; that the markets are dull; and that a great mortality prevails amongst the troops, of whom from 50 to 100 die daily.
The Courier de Londres, under the head of "Constantinople, March 25" has the following article: "a young Greek desperately enamoured of a Turkish female, some time since embraced Mahomedanism for the purpose of marrying her, but shortly after feeling indignant for having purchased sensual pleasure by the commission of a crime, he resolved to atone for his offence in a public manner: in the presence, therefore, of his wife, whom he compelled to accompany him to a Church of the Greek communion, he abjured his error in a manner so public, that he was taken into custody, and, in the course of the day, carried before the tribunal of the Garmacan; there too did he once more pronounce his recantations, and, in consequence, received instant sentence of death. He was executed on the 10th, at eleven o'clock in the morning. The joy with which this Greek proceeded to the place of execution, brought to our recollection the persevering and pious intrepidity of which we read instances of in the volume of Martyrs. His body belonged by proferption to the executioner: but government was under the necessity of interfering, and caused it to be delivered for the valuable consideration of
three purses; besides that sum, the executioner had received 500 dollars from the Patriarch, for having dipped a handkerchief in the victim's blood."
Extract of a letter from Savannah, Aug 19.
"An event took place this morning, which has spread through our streets, the deepest shades of melancholy—every citizen who revered worth and esteemed merit, are lamenting the death of William Hunter Esq. who this morning fell in a duel, with Col. B. Mitchell! I can easily picture to myself the agony of your feelings at this news, by the grief with which my own breast is agitated; and I know you will, in common with the other friends of the deceased, lament, in tears of sorrow, the fall of so valuable a citizen. The dispute had its origin in July last, in the county court, to the Jury of which Mr. Hunter was foreman, in a cause in which Mitchell was counsel. During the trial, it appearing to Mr. Hunter, that the examination of the evidence was not conducted by the counsel, with that impartiality which justice required; he addressed a few words to the court, when Mr. Mitchell got up, and observed, that Mr. Hunter was very officious on the occasion. Mr. H. replied, that officiousness of jurymen was not to be compared with the impertinence of certain attorney's.—There the matter rested until last Monday, when Mitchell attacked Mr. Hunter in the street, with a large bludgeon; Mr. H. having nothing to defend himself with; after receiving four blows, attempting at the same time to seize Mitchell, by the collar, he said, "Mr. Mitchell, I am unarmed—I must retreat unless you lay aside your weapon." Mr. H. then retreated to Dr. Kollock's shop, for a cane, but there was none there. By this time some citizens interferred, & they left the ground. The same evening, Mr. Hunter sent Mitchell a challenge, who, after much equivocation, accepted it. Dr. Kollock was Mr. Hunter's second. Major B. Maxwell was second to Mitchell. Mr. H. fired first, and hit Mitchell on the hip. Mitchell missed Mr. H. Mr. H's second ball hit Mitchell on the groin, also, without penetrating the skin—Mr. H. received Mitchell's second ball in his right breast. Mr. Hunter immediately turned and exclaimed, "I am a dead man;"—and, as Doctors Glenn and Kollock caught him in their arms, he asked for a glass of wine, and expired."
JONESBOROUGH, September 20.
We learn by a gentleman from Maryville, that about the beginning of the present month two Indians went to the house of Mr. Barefoot Runner, of Sevier county, they were brothers—one being intoxicated, went to sleep, the other in good humor got to wrestling with Mr. Runner, and after being repeatedly thrown, waked up his brother & wished him to wrestle, who with some reluctance complied. Mr. Runner accidentally threw him on a chair—he died next day. Mr. Runner was apprehended and after examination discharged. A few days after, the surviving brother with four other Indians, waylaid the pais from Mr. Runner's to his field, intending to kill him. His son, a young man, happening to be a few paces before him, the Indians were apprehensive he would discover them and probably make his escape as well as his father, they therefore fired, and killed him on the spot; they tomahawked him, and made off. On examining the body it was found that five balls had entered it. Our informant adds that the whole five Indians are known, and we doubt not measures will be taken to bring them to justice.

VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACLEAN & 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 HOOPING 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.

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—sickness 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 ge-
neral 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.

PROPOSALS,
For publishing by subscription,
AN ABRIDGEMENT
OF THE
LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES,
OR, A complete Digest of all such Acts of Congress, as concern the United States at large.
By Wm. GRAYDON, Esq.
CONDITIONS.
 I. This work shall commence with the laws passed at the first session of Congress, held after the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and end with those that may be enacted at the present session.  II. The whole will be comprised in one large octavo volume, of at least six hundred pages, and perhaps considerably more: it being impossible, till after the present session of Congress, to pronounce with accuracy.  III. It shall be printed on good paper, and type, and well bound, at FOUR DOLLARS. No money will be required till the work is completed, of which notice will be given—N.B. It is at present in considerable forwardness.  IV. The Constitution of the United States shall be prefixed, and an Appendix added, containing all existing Treaties, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Rules and Articles for the government of the Army, and the Ordinance for the government of the Territory North West of the Ohio.  V. Lists shall be given of the titles of all the laws under the several heads of "Abridged"—"Repealed"—"Expired or Obsolete," and "Private or Local." Likewise, Tables of the rates of Duties, Post-Roads, and times of holding Courts throughout the United States.  The convenience of ONE book instead of SIX, the difference of the price (being only one third the rate of other editions,) and the superior advantage of having all the laws upon each particular subject, classed together, and brought into one view, must appear striking and important; particularly as this work will be more within the reach of every one, and will comprize whatever his duty or interest requires him to know of the "supreme law of the land." WILLIAM GRAYDON, Editor, JOHN WYETH, Publisher. ** The work it is supposed will be finished by the 1st of January next. †† Subscriptions received at the Office of the Kentucky Gazette. WRITING PAPER. A quantity of Writing Paper, for sale at this Office, by the ream.

for sale, on more reasonable terms, and will warrant them as good, if not superior to any brought or imported here. He hopes the people of this state, will pay some attention to saving them, or have it done by their domestics, in order to encourage manufactures in their own country, particularly as they are an article so easily saved.
They will answer as well taken off after the hogs are scalded, as before, and those of a hog one year old will do, that is, all that are brittle, short and long—I will take them uncombed, the price agreeable to the situation they are in.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
A SHORT STORY.
JACK DASH in town a first rate beau, Some time ago, For near a month had never ventur'd out; 'Twas wife; for Jack was poor; and what bespoke it Was that he had no money in his pocket; And therefore was not quite prepar'd to meet A friend of his, who sily in the street, To tap him on the shoulder, lurk'd about.
A doctor's wife; hard by: Who much delighted in his company, For Jack to please the ladies had the skill, Began to think him ill; So sent her servant, Thomas, to assure him That if by fell disease he was affail'd, And would but freely tell her what he ail'd, She'd get some draughts that very soon would cure him;
The message heating, thus replied young Dash— Friend Tom, then tell your mistress I will thank her, As my disorder's only—want of cash, To let the drafts be—on her husband's banker.
ANECDOTE.
A few days ago a sailor broke a pane of glass in a shop window at Rochester: being told it came to 5s. 3d. he gave half a guinea, and as they were going for change he cried out, "Never mind;" then he broke another, and said, "now we are even."
