LONDON, August 17.
The Dasher, of 16 guns, on Thursday took into Plymouth another Danish vessel, laden with salt, from France for Norway; and the Attack, gun vessel, on the same day sent in there two more of nearly a similar description. The sailing of the Baltic fleet from Yarmouth, on the the following day, under the convoy of the Lynx and Shark of 16 guns, strengthens the opinion, that our government, improving on the attempted practice of Denmark, mean with arms to support their arguments, and detaining our trade at the entrance of the Categate till Lord Whitworth shall obtain a decisive answer, to have back our merchant vessels, and argue with our cannon at Copenhagen, in the event of the required answer being unfavorable. We sincerely hope the reverse may be the cause, but should the Northern powers combine against us, the consideration which we owe to ourselves, exclusive of every idea of recrimination, demands that we adopt the most effectual means to prevent our future injury.
The following are stated to be the outlines of the preliminaries of peace between the King of Hungary and the French Republic;—1st. The house of Austria prefers the Brecianese, as far as the Oglio and the Mantuan as far as the Po. 2dly. The Duke of Modena, is to have Ferrara. 3dly. The Duke of Parma is to have Bologna and Romagna. 4thly. Parma and Genoa are to be incorporated with the Cisalpine Republic. 5thly. The King of Sardinia and the Grand Duke of Tuscany are to be reinstated. 6thly. The King of Naples is to remain as at present. [The literal text, say the French editor, "she is to remain at rest."] 7thly. The Pope is to renounce the three Legations. 8thly. Malta is to be restored to the Order. 9thly. The French are to remain in possession of the Fortresses until a definitive peace.
The intelligence from Hamburgh of the 8th, however, states. "The van guard of the Batavian army has reached Frankfort, and has been billeted on the citizens. The preparations for war still continue with unabated vigour in all the dominions of his Imperial Majesty. The offers of the Court of Berlin to mediate a peace between Austria and France have been rejected at Paris. the Chief Consul choosing to make his own peace, without the mediation of a third party."
August 20.
From Berlin we learn, that gen Buonaparte had been formally made acquainted, on the 30th of June, with the acceptance of that court, of the proposed mediation for peace, between France and Austria. The projects of the pacification are expected from Paris. At the same time, the preparations were never carried on with more vigor on either side. General Angereau had received orders to gain the Mein with 40,000 men by forced marches, and another army was ready to enter the Valteline, so that new wings are added to the flanks of the extended army of the republic, which now reaches from Frankfort to the territory of Mantua. Upon the part of Austria, independent of succours, she may expect in contingencies not less vigor is apparent, in the recruiting of her armies; and if the preliminaries should not continue to a decisive peace, as is possible, the war will be resumed with a fury & pertinacity equal to all that has passed.
A very interesting order has been published by the Minister of the Interior, in regard to emigrants, in which it is said—"it is not sufficient that the emigrants should do no harm, but their return must not even give rise to inquietude." Again—"the government can no more restore the property of the purchasers of national estates to returned emigrants, than it can restore France herself to the Bourbons."
The French Journals continue to observe the most profound silence respecting the signature of the preliminaries of peace of the 29th.
DENMARK.
The following Articles of the Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and Denmark, relate to the present subject supposed to be in dispute:—
Art. III. The undersigned Sovereigns engage mutually for themselves, their heirs and successors, not to furnish their respective enemies if they shall be the aggressors, with any assistance in war, such as soldiers, arms, cannon, ships or other articles necessary to the carrying on the war. If the subjects of either of the undersigned Sovereigns, shall act in contravention with the present article, the king, whose subject to shall act, shall be bound to proceed against them with the greatest severity and treat them as seditious persons, and persons guilty of an infraction of the Alliance.
Art. XX. And in order to prevent the freedom of navigation, and the free passages of either ally and his subjects from becoming prejudicial to the other, in case of war on the part of one of the undersigned Sovereigns, against any other power by sea or land; and in order to prevent any goods or merchandizes, the property of the enemy, from being fraudulently concealed under pretence of alliance; and finally, in order to prevent all fraud, and to remove all suspicion; it is thought fit that the ships, merchandize, and subjects belonging to the other confederates, shall be accompanied by passports and certificates in the following forms, &c.
It is hardly necessary to observe, that the requisition of these passports and certificates includes a right to search for them if such rights were not fully recognized to be part of the General law of nations.
The Croats in the Tyrol, thinking the armistice put an end to their services, insisted lately on returning home and considerable troubles arose. The most mutinous were arrested.
The Paris Journals report that the Emperor of Russia, on hearing of the battle of Marengo, published an account of it in a Gazette extraordinary with great eulogiums on the French.
Gen. Angereau, in passing through Brussels, gave orders to purchase for him lands to the amount of 100,000 a circumstance which has given confidence to the proprietors of national lands in that quarter, as it points out the future destiny of Belgium.
The navigation of the Rhine from Basle to Holland is entirely free, the commander of Philipsburgh having consented to it.
Whilst England seems to menace some part of France with a formidable expedition. France appears to be taking measures either to resist any attempts which that expedition may make, or to create an alarm in this country. Part of the troops forming the second army of Reserve, have been suddenly drafted from Dijon, and with other troops from different parts of the Republic, have marched to Ameins where a camp is to be formed under the command of the Chief Consul's brother-in-law, Murat. Garnot, in reviewing the troops before they left Paris, informed them that the Chief Consul had vast projects in contemplation. Ameins is so situated, that troops can be easily sent from thence to any part of Flanders or to the French coast.
The French General Kleber, is said to have been assassinated in Egypt by an Arab, who, whilst presenting a petition shot him through the head—General Rollo is said to have succeeded to the command.
The French lately took a ship in the Mediterranean, but finding it belonged to the Pope, then released it, saying they had orders to respect the Pontifical flag.
August 21.
Another revolution has taken place in Switzerland. The legislative and executive authorities have been changed; a new legislative council of 43 members has been appointed, & a new executive council of seven. The grand council submitted to these alterations without a murmur; but they met with a violent opposition in the senate. A commission was appointed to report upon them; but the executive government, displeased at this delay, summoned the president to convene the senate, in order to decide immediately upon the proposition submitted to them. The senate passed to the order of the day. Twenty one members, however, retired, and signified their acceptance of the alterations. The remainder, though not in sufficient numbers to deliberate, declared that they rejected them, and separated. The proposed
alterations were then carried into execution without any opposition on the part of the people.
It is reported that the chief consul refused to accede to the proposition of the court of Vienna, to comprehend this country and Naples in the treaty of peace. The French government professes a readiness to treat singly with the other belligerent powers. It continues to be the policy of France to negotiate separate treaties—a point which, unfortunately, she is able to obtain the more easily that the other powers shew no disposition to facilitate peace; and are much more anxious to inflame a general war, than to co-operate in the restoration of a general peace.
August 22.
In addition to the intelligence we gave yesterday respecting the secret expedition which failed from Portsmouth, we can state that we have since seen a letter from an officer, dated on board the Pompee, off Brest, August the 15th, saying, "We are now here at anchor, with twenty sail of two and three deckers, and hourly expectation of Sir William Pulteney, in the Diamond frigate, to take the command of the troops.—Our destination is Belleisle; though some think Brest will be the object of our attack."
If ministers were sincere in the desire of peace (do they even pretend it?) they undoubtedly would take some steps for entering into negotiation conjointly with our allies, so far that the discussions respecting the interests of both, might proceed at the same time. Great advantage would be derived from such a measure.—It would tend to open to Europe the real intentions of the French government—it would prove whether Buonaparte is a friend to peace, or merely wishes to get rid of an enemy over whom he can hope to obtain no farther permanent advantage, to turn his efforts against another. If he were to act from these motives, unquestionably he is no friend to peace from principle, though in a particular case he may sincerely pursue it from policy.
After the saucy answer which ministers formerly gave to Buonaparte's repeated advances, they have no reason to expect that he will be the first to make overtures. It is their duty (their own insolence has imposed it on them) to take those measures which are necessary to bring about a negotiation. If the French government, for obvious motives of policy, considering the good reasons they have to distrust the sincerity of our ministers for peace, will not agree to conjoin the negotiations with this country and with the Emperor, there ought to be no objections to enter into explanations for a separate treaty between this country and France. This is the only way in which the peace of the continent can be rendered secure for all parties. If France is extravagant in her demands; if this country is, on the other hand, no less ambitious of engrossing all commercial colonial advantages, all possessions in the East and West Indies, it is quite impossible that peace can be brought about, or if brought about that it could be lasting. France, republican or monarchical, will not rest satisfied to be stripped of all her colonies: we cannot, we ought not to expect it. If she insists on too much, or if we refuse an equitable share of those advantages, then indeed the continent has nothing to do with such a quarrel, and the right of the strongest must decide.
Louis XVIII, it is said, has appointed General Pichegru a Lieutenant General in his service. Had the King of France but an army something might now be done. Is it not some what singular, however, that the hereditary line of princes should be indebted to the revolution for a man (as Pichegru certainly is) fit to command their armies? What? cannot all the chivalry, the gallantry of the nobility of the French monarchy, of whose prodigious merit we have heard so much, furnish a General of talents? No! The French princes are obliged to seek for a General of ability in a man raised from a sergeant of artillery by the revolution which hurled them from the throne, and who, but for that very revolution, would have continued a sergeant of artillery to his dying day.
Germany.
AUGSBURG, August 1. Moreau tells every one without reserve
that no doubt remains of peace with Austria. The Imperial Col. Keller, who was here on a mission from general Kray said the same thing. If England (said Moreau this very day) does not accede along with Austria to the peace, I will serve with pleasure against the remaining enemy.
France.
PARIS, August 16.
MINISTRY OF GENERAL POLICE. The Minister of general Police to the Prefects.
In transmitting you the latest arretest of the government, concerning the emigrants, I ought to tell you citizen Prefect that there are none, the absolute execution of which should be more strictly enforced.
It is not sufficient that the emigrants cannot do any mischief, you must not suffer them to give the least inquietude.
Reports have been spread in the departments that the government are re-initiating in the national domains those emigrants who it has permitted to return to the bosom of the Republic.
You will not suffer these reports to weaken the confidence which is due to the laws; their execution is at once the sole power of the government and its greatest interests.
The government can no more deliver up the property of the purchasers of national domains to the returned emigrants, than it can give up France herself to the family of the Bourbons. The title of national domains, which have yet lost their property, render them more inviolable in the hands of their purchasers; they shew the origin of it.
If any one can doubt the obligation of the social body, to defend with its force property acquired by the dangers of its births, by the sports of fortune, by the caprice of gifts; for who could ever be doubtful of the obligation of the French republic to display all that she has the power to guarantee, and protect, against the whole world, if she must do it, those properties by which she herself exists?
Disipate all vain alarms by the simple and powerful language of truth. That those who circulate them as men who arm themselves against the nation. Let each purchaser of national domains in the midst of his fields consider himself surrounded with the whole republic.

PHILADELPHIA, October 1.
The conferences opened at Paris with the envoys of the United States are at present suspended; & there is little hope of their being successfully resumed for some time. It appears that the powers vested in the envoys are too limited to enable them to conclude a treaty which shall give the same advantages to the public as those granted to the English by the treaty made with Mr. Jay. France chooses rather to decline treating with the United States, than to sanction the privileges which they have accorded to her enemy.
The question in dispute will appear from the following particulars.
The United States and England, by the 25th article of the treaty of 1778, mutually stipulated a free entrance into their respective ports, with complete protection to the privateers and ships of war of the two countries, and the prizes taken from their enemies. And they engage never to conclude a treaty extending the same favor to any nation at war with either of the contracting parties. This treaty having been annulled by the United States, and now regarded as if it never existed, they conceive that they cannot give the same privileges to France, without violating their treaty with England. The French republic does not seem disposed to ratify, to her own prejudice, and in favor of the English, her enemies and rivals, a proceeding so unexpected on the part of the Americans, with whom she recently made a common cause against those very enemies, directed to the same object for which France herself is now at war—the attainment of liberty and independence. It is unfortunate that the government
United States pre- sent of 1778. I that they we of giving to France, have conferred on the English agreed, or very partial to the England—or their envoys given a wrong interp- ance, and

ipitatedly and
they themselves are induced to... the treaty alluded to; appears that France, renouncing the claims she may have from the priority of the treaty of 1778, now offers to treat without demanding any other advantages than those enjoyed by the English, & which they have exercised during the present war; and the ambassadors must come with a very bad grace to negotiate a peace, if they are not vested with power to accede to those conditions.
The negotiation was opened on the part of the French Commissioners, on the supposition that the treaty of 1778 was still in force. It was indeed, natural to suppose, that the two nations never having been in a state of war with each other, this treaty would not have been annulled without the consent of both countries; and in this point of view it was, that the French Commissioners offered an indemnification to the Americans by admitting the principle of compensation for illegal captures.
They even proceed further, instead of demanding from the Americans the indefinite guarantee of the French colonies the article of the treaty which was most disadvantageous to the former, they agreed the substitution of a special guarantee, such as appears to be contained in the instructions of the preceding ambassadors, according to the copy of them published by Congress. But the American envoys were not authorised to renew this treaty, even after retrenching the articles respecting the guarantee of the French Islands. France, therefore, conceived herself exempted from the obligation of compensating for the captures; the Americans themselves having, by abrogating the treaty, destroyed the basis on which only their claim could have been founded.
It thus appears that the negotiation turned chiefly on three points. 1. The continuance in force, or the modified renewal of the treaty of 1778. France waived this point in consequence of the assurances of the American envoys that they could not renew it.
2. The principle of compensation for illegal captures. This point France offered to admit; but on conditions only that the treaty of 1778 should be renewed, with modifications stated in the instructions given by Washington.
3. The 25th article of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, relative to the protection granted to the armed vessels of that nation. France will most probably insist upon enjoying the same advantage as long as it is possessed to her injury by her enemies.
There is another principle which France is anxious to establish; and on the adoption of which she has strongly insisted; a principle which it is still more the interest and the policy of the Americans to carry into execution. But the treaty of 1793 with the English, prevents them from acceding to this system, namely, that neutral bottoms shall constitute neutral property. France, however, hopes to induce the powers of the North to establish this system, to be excluded from the benefit of which, would be highly injurious to the Americans.
It appears, however, that these diplomatic conferences have been conducted in the most amicable manner, & so as to leave only an impression of regret that it was possible to remove the difficulties which had occurred. The American Ambassadors, during their residence at Paris, have been treated with every possible mark of respect, & enjoyed all the distinctions conferred on the Ministers of our Allies. As it is at present, the principle and system of France to respect and to protect the law of nations, and the rights of neutrality, it is to be hoped that the frank and equitable conduct which she holds in regard to neutral states, will soon remove the differences which have occurred between her and the United States; and that even should the present negotiation not terminate in a treaty, the American flag shall notwithstanding, continue to be respected, and their vessels treated as those of a friendly nation in our courts of law.
Orders are issued to the privateers to respect all neutral flags, among which the American is undoubtedly the most numerous; and American vessels are daily released by the courts, with damages against the owners of privateers. There are now about 50 causes before the council of prizes respecting vessels taken in the European seas, and those of the vessels which
really belonged to Americans will assuredly be restored. The fate of such however, as were furnished with letters of marque, does not appear to be yet determined. It is thought that they cannot be given up without sanctioning the conduct of the Americans in arming them unless the restitution should result from a new treaty of amity.
Thus far the Paris papers. This article is not acknowledged to be official, but is said to have been communicated by the best authority. There can be little doubt of the facts being authentic and fairly stated.

RICHMOND, October 7. The noted GABRIEL, [general in chief of the negro insurrection] received his trial yesterday. He will be executed at the gallows in this city, this day.
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in London to another in New-York, dated August 20.
It is now said that your commissioners, though experiencing all possible friendship at Paris have not power to agree to such a treaty as they themselves think just and proper. They may wait for more enlarged authority. In the meanwhile your unarmed vessels are to pass unmolested. Peace on the Continent is considered as settled, but not yet confirmed. We do not expect any share in the treaty."
From the New-York Gazette of the 20th ult.
They had not on the 22d ult. received any thing in London, respecting the expedition of the 7th, that could be depended on. It was said however, that they had joined the grand fleet cruising off Ushant on the 10th, and sailed the next day. The destination still a secret.
The advices from Vienna state, says a London paper, that a complete reconciliation is on the point of being effected between the two Imperial courts, which promises to lead to the general peace of Europe. We fear that this reconciliation comes too late to be of advantage to either party.
Letters from Frankfort and from Stuttgart confirm the statement in the Times respecting the negotiation of the Austrian minister at Paris, and the powers granted to citizen Duroc, should the Emperor refuse to ratify the treaty of peace. Duroc was accompanied to Vienna by three couriers, one of whom were to return to Paris, and others to be sent to the commanding officers in Italy and Germany, with orders to resume hostilities. It will be seen that the chief consul peremptorily refused every kind of mediation, or to allow Great-Britain to become a party in the treaty.
The letters from the Hague of the 5th, assign as a reason for the silence of the Moniteur, with respect to the signing of the preliminaries at Paris, on the 29th ult. that is the determination of the French government not to publish that event officially, until it shall have been ratified by the Emperor. "The time is past, (observes the Leyden Gazette) when the same government associated in its duties the tribunes and the suburbs of the metropolis, and was over eager to publish its operations."
The detention of the Danish frigate and convoy has naturally caused a sensation at Copenhagen, where the news of it arrived on the 7th inst. The court of Denmark immediately dispatched couriers to London and Petersburg.

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
LONDON, August 27.
Yesterday a rumour was very prevalent in the city, of fresh overtures of peace having been made to this country by the Chief Consul. The funds which had fallen in the morning, rose towards the close of the day, about one per cent and considerable purchases were made. We have not learnt that any messenger has arrived directly from the Chief Consul, but some advices from France were, we believe received by government on Sunday, and a flag of truce with despatches failed from Dover for Calais yesterday. We understand also that Government received despatches yesterday from Vienna, dated the 15th inst. containing the Answer of the Chief Consul to the despatches which the Austrian Government, after the receipt of the determination of the Court of London transmitted to Paris. In this answer Buonaparte, it is said has expressed a willingness to treat with Great Britain & Austria jointly. Upon these despatches a Cabinet Council was held, and it is probable that a negotiation between the three powers may take place immediately.
This morning were received Paris papers till the 24th instant, which were obtained by a Gravesend passage-vessel that arrived at Dover on Monday night. A paper of the 23d, mentions the intended journey of the King of Prussia into Silesia. On the subject of Peace, we find but one paragraph in the Clef du Cabinet, "It is said [says this Journal] that the preliminaries of Peace are signed; and among other articles, one is quoted which states, that the Belligerent Powers shall remain masters, in Italy, of their mutual conquests."
According to the advices received yesterday, by Mr. Baffico, the Messenger, who brought despatches from Constantinople, as well as Vienna, there is reason to believe that Gen. Kleber was murdered, as has been before reported.
PHILADELPHIA October 7. EUROPEAN POLITICS.
We consider the interests of our own country so much more important in the present crisis, than those of Europe, that we have purposely avoided details, where the events were not of signal moment, or where they did not bear upon our national concerns. The agitations in the North of Europe, are to us of great concern, & in two opposite situations. 1. As a nation whose first interests are involved in the neutrality of commerce, and the freedom of the ocean. 2. As the (unfortunate) ally of a nation, the only enemy to neutral commerce and the freedom of the ocean.
The British envoy Whitworth, had arrived at Copenhagen on the 10th August. His mission was expressly on the subject of the armed neutrality; and it appears that he carried a fleet with him to back his negotiations; which fleet had moored within side the Danish fleet at Constantt.
On the 17th of August, Bourgoing, the French minister at Hamburg, set out for Copenhagen, in order to be present at the scene of negotiations.
On the 28th August despatches had been received at London from Copenhagen, which caused a cabinet council to be held that continued six hours; the result was forwarded by a particular messenger to Copenhagen, the same evening.
A variety of stock jobbing rumours on this subject appear in the English prints, which serve no other purpose than to confuse the American reader, who is not guarded against the deceptions practised for such purposes.
The aid-de-camp of General Buonaparte, Duroc, who carried the preliminaries of peace to Vienna, returned to Paris on the 20th of August. The Paris papers are contradictory on the subject of this mission. It being asserted that the preliminaries were and were not signed. This contradiction arises from the spirit of stock-jobbing at Paris, where a funding and banking system has been established with great success. The result of the pacific treaty is kept profoundly secret.
Meanwhile the armies of the republic in the long range from the Danube to the Oglio are augmenting. Moreau has been recalled to Paris, and is to be succeeded by Massena, who is to be succeeded in Italy by Brune. Berthier is gone to Madrid, from the importance of the character sent on this mission, there can be little doubt that Portugal is to be restored to the Spanish monarchy—as an object essential to the great design now meditated by Buonaparte and Car-
not. Portugal is all important to Great-Britain. Lisbon is the mine which supplies the silver and gold to the commerce of Britain in Asia, and which upholds the Bank of England in even its present limited circulation of bullion. It is thro' Portugal that fine Spanish wool is supplied to the manufactures of Britain, and without which the manufacture of British broadcloaths would cease to exist. As a resort for her fleets, and for provisions to her navy in the Mediterranean, Portugal may be considered along with Sicily, as the only means by which the British navy could be effectually subsisted in that quarter. It will be the interest therefore of France, if they meditate those great projects against the British navy, to commence with such measures as may draw from Britain resources of such vast moment to her specie circulation, her commerce, and her naval power. It is probable that an invasion by the French troops is not seriously intended, but as an alternative, altho' Moreau seems to be selected for the direction of such an expedition. But the body of troops and the various expeditions which have been lately fitted out, and sent towards that quarter, appear to countenance an opinion, that the British meant to succour Portugal by an effectual military force; or to awe the Portuguese ministry into an effectual resistance of the French claims upon them. The tribute demanded of Portugal is said to be ten million of Crusades, or about five million of dollars.
The fortresses of Turin, Ceva, Coni, Tortona, and Milan, have been demolished by order of the French generals.
Marseilles was blockaded on the 4th of August by a British fleet.
The French army under Angereau forming the left wing of the grand army in Germany, has proceeded to the Upper Mein from Frankfort, but has been succeeded by a new army from Holland.
A French army is on its route through the Papal dominion destined for Naples. A negotiation for the re-establishment of the Romish clergy in France under certain limitations was carrying on between the Pope and Consul.
An army of 60,000 men is formed near Amiens.
Another continues to be augmented at Dijon, a wing of which has recently passed through Lausanne for Italy.
The state of the French funds present an unexampled rise in value—6 per cent per annum is the ordinary interest demanded by capitalists. A year ago the best paper was at one and one half a month!
NEW-YORK, October 4. From the Daily Advertiser.
Just as we had completed the publication of the most interesting extracts in our London Papers, by the Maria, from London, the Brandywine, Miller, arrived from Greenock, bringing London dates to August 27 (four days the latest). By these Papers, it appears, that the complexion of political affairs in Europe has taken a considerable change.
Prussia, disclaims all intentions of entering into the Armed Neutrality, which has been talked of. She denies any intention of acting, but through the medium of Negotiation; or of having any design, but to promote a general pacification.
The Paris Papers inform us, that Russia expresses great dissatisfaction with France, on account of her conquests on the Rhine: and that the best understanding prevails between the two Imperial Courts: that of Petersburg takes a lively interest in the affairs of Germany. Corroborative of the above, we observe, that the Emperor Paul has an army of 60,000 men, which approached more and more the frontiers of Germany.
The Danes have suspended their intercourse with England; and the English, having resolved to "strike," have sent Admiral Dickson, it is supposed, to attack Cronenberg, an important place, where the duties of the Sound are collected; and which guards the entrance of the country. It is 15 miles from Copenhagen, and has been taken two or three times by the Swedes.
Citizen Duroc has returned from Vienna. The result of his Mission was not yet published. The fear, however, of its unfortunate termination, has produced a "remarkable declension" in the French funds.
Ireland does not appear to be entirely rid of Banditti, who commit partial but horrible cruelties.
Switzerland is torn by intestine factions. Some of the important Members of the old Legislature, it seems, objected to this change, held regular sessions, and have outlawed the New Government.
Buonaparte demands of Portugal, as the price of peace, 1,250,000. sterl. that her port shall be opened to French ves-

rest- fels; that France shall enjoy the same privileges as the most favored Nation; and that a definitive answer shall be given, within 60 days, to these propositions; and threatens her with an army of 60,000 men, if she refuses. The Portuguese have asked advice of England; and in the interim, are making the best possible preparations for defence. The First Consul has also demanded leave of the Pope to march an army through his territory, against Naples.
There is nothing new relative to the Expedition. We do not find an article respecting our Envoys.

AUTUMN.

ANECDOTE.
A wit bemoaning the uncomfortable prospect of celibacy, and comparing the respective happiness of a married and single state, exclaimed, "What can make the bitter cup of a bachelor's life go down?" and in the same tone, by way of self-condolent response, observed, "A-LAS! A-LAS!"
I GIVE notice to gentlemen who have been customers to my horse BLAZE, and those who wish to breed from him, that I mean to move him from this state next season, unless they will come forward and enter their mares to the amount of 150, at 50. payable on note at Christmas in whiskey delivered in Lexington at market price, or Flour delivered in Frankfort at market price; or note for twelve dollars for the season, or seven the single leap, paid at Christmas 1801—I find money very scarce and difficult to collect, is the reason I wish to move him, the indulgence I have given has caused me to suffer much for money.

Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by MACBEAN & POYZER, at the Store formerly occupied by Mr. Robert Barr, Lexington, the following Valuable
MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from foulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels.
A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES, SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed. But was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS;
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequence—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance—They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—kickness at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC,
For the cure of a Certain Disease. HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the unskillful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE,
An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER,
An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER,
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of light.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS,
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR,
For the cure of every kind of Head Ache, &c. &c.
