AGAINST THE IMMEDIATE USE OF SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS, DELIVERED IN A NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...
IN this solemn and important council, rising up before the wisdom and experience of so many venerable sachesms...
Part of what follows a few pages after this, it would be almost a criminal omission not to quote...
And now, O Creaks! if the cries of your country, if the pulse of glory, if all that forms the hero and exalts the man...
With regard to our children, besides effecting their health, enervating all their powers and endangering the very existence of our nation...
O Creaks! you all remember the great Cantigala, who is now gone to our fathers, and from whose loins I immediately sprung.

NINEVEH. Once the capital of the Assyrian empire. It was 60 miles in circumference. In grandeur surpassed all other cities of the world.
What probability was there that such a city whose walls were 20 feet in height, so wide that three chariots might pass a brent, strengthened by 1500 towers...
From a New York Paper. June 20. Though I speak with the tongue of men and angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
WITHIN a few days past, there have arrived here from the Southward several brethren of the regular clerical order of Hospitallers of St. Camillus de Lilles...
That the citizens of this state may fully understand the object of their mission, it may not be amiss to say a few words on the nature of the institution they belong to.
It may be said that as this is an institution founded under the authority of the catholic church, that it should look for assistance from the supporter of that church...

Of the aid to be afforded by the Lazaretto on Staten Island, to these unhappy strangers I need not say more than that its buildings are calculated for the accommodation of about 300 persons...
In stating the foregoing circumstances so distressing to every feeling mind, it is not my design to call upon the exercise of individual charity but upon the community in its corporate capacity...
Had the horrors of famine and sickness in a strange land, befallen but a few, this address would have been unnecessary; for private benevolence would have been exerted for their relief...

EXTRACT From Mr. Paine's Oration on the Fourth of July.
"The same spirit which originated, can alone preserve, our independence. To our fathers, who planted, to the heroes and patriots, who reaped and defended our empire; to our posterity, who will rightfully claim, as an unincumbered inheritance, the full enjoyment of those liberties, which have descended to us, we owe a rigid adherence to those manners and principles, and the sacred preservation of those institutions, which are the mighty bulwark of our nation's peace. Would we secure these, we must oppose the arts of that courtly philosophy and assassin infidelity, which are combined to disorganize society, to demoralize man, and even to dethrone the Deity. We must guard against the insidious attacks of atheism on our religion, the only cement of society, and the main pillar of all governments. We must preserve and encourage our happy system of education, the only sure source of correct opinions, just principles, and pure habits. We must revive that ancient spirit of patriotism, which does not, like the patriotism of the present day, falsely so called, confound all countries and all crimes in one common chaos of general good, but whose object is to maintain the dignity and independence of its own country upon those broad principles of just and equal policy, which alone are compatible with the peaceful intercourse of nations, America stands alone, dissimilar in government, in habits, and in principles, and superior in privileges, in improvements, and resources, to every other nation on the globe. Rich in civil liberty, in extensive commerce, and mild laws, she exhibits the only relief in the sombre picture of nations. The past century has exhibited on the stage of the elder continent, scenes which have astonished the boldest philosophers, and baffled the skill of the wisest politicians. War, horrid war, has drenched her fields with the blood, and choked her rivers with the carcasses of millions. The oldest monarchy in the world has tumbled into ruin, and minor empires within the vortex of her influence have been unbalanced in their governments, and shaken in their independence by convulsions, which have been ascribed to the spirit of liberty; that same spirit of liberty, which originated our independence. Americans! can this be true? Can that principle, which produces order and happiness, produce also confusion and misery? Does the same cause, which engenders the thunder to purify the atmosphere of its noxious vapours, produce also the wild tornado to desolate where it spreads? The sun, that warms and illumines the universe, may sometimes by the intensity of his rays produce the pestilential drought: but by what power in physics can he leap from his centre and conflagrate the world? The spirit of your fathers riles indignant at the comparison. The liberty; of which we boast, consists in the security of our lives, our persons, and our property; in a modified restriction of individual will, harmonizing with a public and equal right to do whatever experience has declared to be compatible with social order, or the voice of legislative authority has pronounced to be lawful. This liberty is not the fantastic creature of an imagination, distempered by visionary schemes of happiness; but it is the product of cool, deliberate reason, operating upon the past miseries of mankind, and grown wise by the folly of ages. This, Americans, is the liberty, for which your Statesmen have toiled, and your Heroes have bled! Will you barter it for the wild projects of dreaming philosophers and moonstruck politicians? Will you abandon those sound principles, sanctioned by experience, those industrious habits and pure morals, the rock, on which are built your nation's freedom, strength, and greatness? No, my fellow citizens! Here is our country, here are our fathers' sepulchres, these are our liberties. While we enjoy and are grateful, let us remember and be wise. While with filial wonder and festive admiration we gather around the altars of our country, to devote and to consecrate this day of empire to national glory, let us celebrate and hallow it as a day of recurrence to national principles. Carried back in imagination and in sensibility to that era, when this multifarious continent, with all its classes of interests, its gradations of knowledge, and its variety of rivalships, was united in one common zeal, and was preserved by the compact, let us, when convened in this annual assembly to revive the recollection of our dangers, while we re-act the triumph of our liberties, blush at the apostasy of our patriotism. Whether recalled to duty by reflection, or reverts to principle by local inspiration, let us unite in deprecating the curse of foreign influence, that Aaron's rod, more powerful than all the other serpents of democracy; and, impressed and humbled with a sense of our Camelion greatness, and catching some portion of the holy spirit of our ancestors, let us renew our solemn obligations, to venerate the memories of our fathers, to preserve their institutions, to emulate their virtues, to defend their inheritance, to cultivate a national character, to glow with pride at the name of our country, to become only AMERICANS!
THOUGHTS ON POLITICS. [From the best writers.]
Charity, humility, and a pacific temper of mind, were characteristics of the divine author of the Christian religion; and without an humble imitation of his example, in these things, a nation cannot be happy. The foundation of nation policy should be aid in private morality. If individuals be
not influenced by moral principles, it is in vain to look for public virtue: and therefore, it is the duty of legislators to enforce the utility and necessity of these, both by precept and example.
The superstition, that morality can be maintained without religion should be indulged with caution.
The private virtues of economy, prudence and industry, are not less amiable in civil life, than the more splendid qualities of valor, perseverance and enterprise are in the field.
Promising theories are not always confirmed by experience, and it is found that new laws, however carefully formed, have sometimes proved to be less salutary than was expected, and even to be productive of greater inconveniences than those against which they were intended to provide.
The maxim that every nation ought to be constantly prepared for self defence, is founded on the experience of all ages.
That government cannot cease to attract and to preserve confidence and attachment, which leaves no rights without protection, no grievances without redress.
If no attention is paid to supplying the people with ministers of the gospel, there will soon be found cause to increase the number of constables; and if the churches are not employed as places to hear God's law, there will be need of them, as prisons for the breakers of the laws of men.
There are two things by which God supports the societies of mankind, which he will certainly maintain and preserve, as long as he suffers the world to last, and men to live in it; and these are Government and Religion.
It is considered as a rule to which there are few exceptions, that when a law is treated with manifest and general disrespect & disobedience, it should either be repealed, or more competent means to enforce it to be devised; a tolerated violation of one law naturally leading to and encouraging the infraction of others.
To the honor of modern times, and particularly to the honor of Christianity itself, there is much more gentleness and humanity in the manner of carrying on war than formerly.
Foreign News.
LONDON, MAY 14.
RUMOURED CHANGES IN HOLLAND.
We yesterday stated, that reports had reached this country of the intention of the French government to incorporate the Batavian Republic with France. A letter from an officer on board admiral Dickson's fleet, cruising off Goree, to a naval officer of rank in town, states their having received information that the measure was resolved on by the French government, and an attempt made to carry it into execution about the 8th. The following letter gives some particulars of this project, but we cannot vouch for the accuracy, as we know not the channel through which the information comes:
Amsterdam, May 4.—On the 29th ult. the long expected Gen. Angereau arrived at the Hague, but without receiving any marks of public distinction. On the 1st of May he assembled the members of the Batavian Government, and announced to them the arrest of the Consuls, bearing date April 11th, declaring, that in consequence of the revision of the Batavian Republic, which was long since found necessary, they had decreed that the Batavian Republic should from henceforth lose all separate distinctions, and form a part of the French Republic, one and indivisible. This communication was heard with evident marks of disgust, and the meeting broke up abruptly. Symptoms of discontent were manifested by the lower orders of the people through the day, and the Orange cockade was hoisted in the evening.
MAY 15.
No farther information has been received of the reported changes in Holland. The story of De Winter's putting the fleet under the protection of this country is universally considered, as we stated it yesterday to be, quite unworthy of credit. It is very generally believed however, that the intrigue for the incorporating Union, has been for some time carried on by the French government. The Cabinets of Berlin and the Thuilleries no longer maintain their former good correspondence, and many think that Bonaparte had reason to suspect that the intrigues, and perhaps the arms of Prussia, would have endeavored to dispute with France for the leading influence in Holland.
HAGUE MAY 12.
According to accounts from Paris, Count Cobentzel is very frequently with the Chief Consul at Malmaison, and makes every exertion to meditate, if possible, a peace between England and France.
LONDON, MAY 20.
In the capture of the Danish Islands in the West-Indies, our commanders paid the most sacred regard to the rights of neutrals, particularly to the citizens of the United States of America. In the capitulation of all the islands it was provided, that "the subjects of the United States of America should enjoy the fullest security for their persons and property, as well as the free exercise of their religion."
Our troops when they captured the Danish Islands of St. Bartholomew, St. Martins, St. Thomas, and St. Croix, took 342 pieces of cannon, from 24 to 2 pounders; and 693 prisoners;
of which were two Lieutenat Colonels, 2 Majors, 8 Captains, 16 Lieutenants, 6 Ensigns, and 644 privates.
"RUMORS OF NEW WARS"
Indications of a rupture between Prussia and Austria are not uncommon in the German newspapers. On this subject we have the following article, "On the 30th April the Diet of Ratisbon, came to a conclusion respecting the Peace at Luneville, which contains nothing remarkable except language very complimentary to the solicitude of His Imperial Majesty for the welfare of the Empire. The conclusion instructs the Emperor to take the task of arranging the indemnities upon himself alone, and gives him full power for that purpose. This measure is supposed to have given great offence to the King of Prussia, who expected that he and the Emperor of Russia would be joined with the Emperor Francis in adjusting the claims of the different States of the Empire. Most of the states in the North voted in the Diet for the assistance of Prussia. Russia, and even Sweden, in arranging the indemnities in conjunction with Austria. The offence is supposed to be greater, as the prevailing party in the Diet of Ratisbon, and the Emperor himself, are believed to be adverse to the favorite scheme of Prussia, secularization, and to wish that the arrangements should be confined to indemnities merely. Prussia is in consequence making greater military movements, and seems to threaten hostilities to Austria, should the system at present laid down by the Diet be pursued. Respecting Hanover, the opinion in Germany is, that the English Government will give it to Prussia."
An Imperial Rescript has lately been issued at Vienna, which requires all persons holding any species of employment under the Crown, either civil or military, to declare upon honor, and in writing, that they do not belong to any secret society whatever. To any person refusing, an oath will be tendered; and in case of the Government ever discovering imposition in this matter, the person detected is declared ipso facto, convicted of perjury, is to undergo the penalty of being declared infamous, and to be delivered up to the Criminal Tribunals.
When Bonaparte's army left Toulon, for Egypt, it amounted to 43,000 effective men. It has received some reinforcements since: yet, with the addition of the native auxiliaries, it cannot now muster more than 15,000.
LONDON, MAY 22.
The dispatches received yesterday from Lord Elgin state, that in consequence of Lord Keith's having informed the Grand Vizier of the victory gained by the English, his Excellency began his march towards Cairo on the 29th March, with fifteen thousand men.
General Abercromby, in the action which proved fatal to him in Egypt, having sent off all his Aid de camps on different services, he in the midst of a very severe fire, was charged by a French light-horseman and dismounted:—yet he had the presence of mind, to disarm the fellow. Sir Ralph then walking off, met Sir Sidney Smith, who gave the brave General his charger, he at the same time presented Sir Sidney with the Frenchman's sword. During the time he had been on horse, he never slept undressed, and for a week lay upon the sand, without any other canopy than that of heaven.
From Boston, July 4.
We yesterday received Hamburg papers to the 16th April. They state that Lord Nelson's fleet was still lying, at anchor near Copenhagen, having been joined by Admiral Totty's squadron. They indicate that the differences between Great Britain and the Northern Powers would be amicably adjusted; and that the Danish Ambassador had been directed to remain at London. The Correspondent, of the 16th of May, says, "Yesterday arrived here twenty-two English, French, Dutch and American vessels."
The French continue in force in Italy.—They have lately embarked a body of troops at Ancona, and have taken possession of Otranto, at the very heel of the boot of Italy.
The French army destined against Portugal was at Burgos, the capital of Old Castile, in Spain, the 29th April; not more than two hundred miles from the frontier of Portugal.
The peace between France and Germany appears completely settled; and the French army of the Rhine was dissolved the 21st May. Though the flags of truce between Great Britain and France are less frequent, they are not discontinued.
The British frigate Latona, conducting Lord St. Helens, the British Ambassador to Russia, was spoken May 14th, three days out, by Capt. Orme, arrived at Salem.
The British government continues to be alarmed at the proceedings of seditious societies in various parts of Great Britain and Ireland.
EXPLANATIONS.
ALEXANDRIA.
Once an opulent an elegant city, comprehending a circumference of fifteen miles, inhabited principally by Jews, Coptics, Turks, Greeks, and Armenian Christians, is situated near the most westerly branch of the Nile, in 31 degrees 11 minutes North Latitude. The port is formed by the Isle of Pharos, which extends across the mouth of the bay, and is joined to the continent by a causeway and two bridges, ninety
paces in length. Upon the east end of this island stood the ancient Pharos or light-house, so famous as to be classed among the seven wonders of the world. What is called the new port, lies on the E. S. E. side of the city, and is now generally used; the old port lies on the W. S. W. side, and the city stands on the neck of land between them. The canal of Alexandria, running in a direction to the south of the Nile, connects the old port with the western navigable branch of the Nile. The canal is now dry, and the distance is about 45 miles. The Canal Bay, or, as it is called in the dispatches, the bay of Aboukir, lies directly east from Alexandria, at the distance of about ten miles, connected by a ferry with the large bay, setting from the sea, in which Nelson destroyed the French fleet in 1798. The castle of Aboukir stands N.E. by N. about fifteen miles from Alexandria, upon Cape Boukir. Four miles east of the canal and lake on the left, was fought the battle of the 21st of March, in which the French were defeated with the loss of 3000 men.
ROSETTA.
Is situated 25 miles to the N.E. of Alexandria, is 31 degrees 5 minutes North latitude, and stands on the west side of the westernmost navigable branch of the Nile, about four miles from its mouth. It is pleasant and healthy, and defended by two castles, one on each side of the branch. After the action of the 21st according to private letters, against Rosetta, if this expedition proves successful, it is expected Alexandria will fall without the necessity of attacking it. In that case, Sir Sidney is to proceed up the Nile to Cairo, for which place the Grand Vizier is in motion. His camp is at Gaza, an ancient and celebrated town of Palestine, laying N.E. from Cairo. It is stated, that a strong column of his army has entered Egypt and were expected at Salehieh the 26th ult. This place is situated on the easternmost branch of the Nile, at the distance of about 100 miles from Cairo. Bonaparte ordered a fort to be erected here under the command of Berthier, but the garrison is now reduced to a few companies. The natives are every where revolting, and joining the imperial standard.
RAHMANIA.
Lies to the south of east from Alexandria, at the distance of about 45 miles, near the western navigable branch. It appears from the last accounts, that 4000 men had been sent to take possession of this place, which will enable the English to cut off the communications of the French, except on the side of the desert, where the Arabs and Mamelukes are in arms to oppose them.
The Mail.
FRANKFORT, (KEN.) JUNE 4.
On the 30th May two men by the names of Andre and Blackburn, were killed at Port St. Vincennes, by an Indian. He came into town it is supposed with a view of killing a Mr. Toussaint Duball, at whom he presented his gun; but missing fire, Mr. D. escaped into his house. Mr. Andre who happened at that instant to be in the house, stepped to the door, observing he never was afraid of an Indian, when the savage instantly shot him. Duball then closed with the Indian, who drew his knife. The unfortunate Blackburn coming to Duball's relief was instantly stabbed by the Indian, and died on the spot. Some of the inhabitants, who had assembled by this time, completed the melancholy catastrophe by putting the Indian to instant death.
Our informant observes he was a Mauric chief, and was known by the name of the Graw Blue, or Big Blue.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 26. KINE POX.
The President we understand, has received from Dr. Waterhouse some new vaccine or cowpox matter, stated to be in good preservation, with a view of having its effects tried here, which he put into the hands of Dr. Gaunt, of Georgetown, a physician of respectability: who purposed immediately to inoculate with it. As soon as the result of his experiments is ascertained, it shall be stated to the public, as well as the contents of Dr. Waterhouse's accompanying letter to the President, which recommends to general practice, by facts and forcible reasoning, the use of the vaccine matter.
JULY 1.
Yesterday a Talk was delivered to the Secretary at War, by a delegation of Southern Indians, on a visit to the President of the United States.
ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 29.
In the District Court of the District of Columbia, for the county of Washington, on Friday last, Mr. Samuel Harrison Smith, Editor of the National Intelligencer, [Mr. Jefferson's Official Paper] was presented for a libel on the Judiciary of the United States. "This holds squally."
ROME, (New York) JUNE 22.
The Court of Oyer and Terminer, for the county of Oneida, was held in this town last week: Judge Kent presided. An Indian, by the name of George Peters, was arraigned for murdering his wife, found guilty and sentenced to death.
A North Carolina paper states, that according to the census just taken, that State will be entitled to fourteen Representatives in Congress, instead of ten, their present number.

NEW YORK, JULY 6.
REVENUE.
The Duties arising from Goods imported into this port during the month of April, amount to the immense sum of seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars—and we are warranted in saying, that the duties for the month of May, will amount to a still greater sum! The above sum is upwards of 200,000 dollars more than the amount of Duties for any former month.
SALEM, JULY 3.
BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.
A number of respectable Ladies in this town have associated, and formed a generous fund, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining an institution for the benefit of Female Orphans, who may stand in need of the kind hand of charity for education and support.
SALEM, JULY 7.
COPENHAGEN.
Capt. Josiah Orne arrived here on Sunday last, from Copenhagen, from which place he sailed the 7th May. Capt. Orne was at Copenhagen on that tremendous day when the English attacked the Danish batteries. It appears not to have been expected that hostilities would actually take place, until the British made the passage of the Sound; and no preparations of defence appeared to be making until then; and from the shortness of the time, these were but slight. The ancient spirit of the Danes was roused by the danger that threatened, and every man became voluntarily a soldier. The floating batteries which were opposed to the British were merely old hulks, which on this occasion were mounted with cannon, and manned with resolute Danes: The destruction of these was an inconsiderable loss; but that of their brave defenders was dreadful. The effect of the battle was the destruction of old hulks of little value; the loss of about 2000 Danes, and not a small number of English, killed and wounded; and the exasperating of the Danes to a very high pitch against the English. Such is Capt. Orne's account from Copenhagen. A day or two before Capt. Orne's departure, Lord Nelson failed eastward with his fleet—On the 14th Capt. Orne took a British frigate, having on board an Ambassador, bound to St. Petersburg. They appeared to regret the failing of Nelson, fearing his operations, before they could overtake him, might be contrary to the object of the embassy.
Portland,
MONDAY, JULY 13, 1801.
BOWDOIN COLLEGE.
On the 9th inst. the Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College, met at Brunswick, for the choice of a President of said College, when the Rev. JOSEPH M'KEEN, of Beverly, was chosen. The friends of literature are congratulated on the prospect of having a man so eminent for learning, talents and superior knowledge, to preside in a seminary which promises the greatest utility to the rising youth of this flourishing District.
From the statement of the votes received from most of the towns in the Third Eastern District, it appears that RICHARD CUTTS, Esq. will be chosen Representative to Congress, to supply the place of Mr. THATCHER.
Celebration of Independence.
AT GORHAM.
Last Saturday being the fourth of July, the day was celebrated at Gorham. A number of Gentlemen met at Mr. Staple's tavern, and formed a procession to the Meeting-House, where an Oration was delivered by Mr. JOHN P. LITTLE, adapted to the occasion—the same being accompanied by Vocal and Instrumental music, consisting of an Ode on Independence, Adams and Liberty, &c. The Gentlemen then returned to Mr. Staple's, where a dinner was provided. After dinner a number of patriotic Toasts were drunk, and the whole transactions of the day were with decency and good order.
CENSUS of the DISTRICT OF MAINE.
[The following is an official statement of the number of Inhabitants in this district, by the census taken during the last year.—In the year 1790, the total number of inhabitants amounted to 96,540—They now amount to 123,895—giving an increase of 27,355 during the last ten years.]
Table with 4 main columns: FREE WHITE MALES, FREE WHITE FEMALES, and two Total columns. Sub-columns include age groups (Under ten, Ten and under fifteen, etc.) and family counts.
NEW-GLOUCESTER.
At New Gloucester, the day was celebrated with becoming festivity. A large collection of citizens formed a procession at Mr. Pingree's Hall, and moved to the meeting house, where an ingenious and pertinent Oration was pronounced by Mr. Ezekiel Whitman. The company then returned to the Hall, and partook of a sumptuous dinner prepared for the occasion. A number of Toasts were given, among which were the following:—
Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America—May he be mindful that we are all of one mind, "all Republicans, all Federalists."
Hon. John Adams, Esq. late President of the United States of America—The Patriot who never "felt power and forgot right."
The Vice President of the United States of America—May he arrive to the Chief Magistracy of the Union, when his merits entitle him to it.
Caleb Strong, Esq. Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts—Who was the promising son of Liberty in '75; and over whose character, in 1801, the vile malignity of party spirit could not cast the shadow of a shade.
The Wilds of Maine—May they blossom like the rose, and flow with milk and honey; and e'er long reap the blessings of an Independent Government.
DURHAM.
At Durham, the anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated by the inhabitants in a manner which did honor to their patriotism:—Capt. Isaac Davis's company of Federal Volunteers in complete uniform, paraded; and at 12 o'clock escorted a large procession of gentlemen of that and the neighbouring towns from the south west bend to the Meeting house; where a spirited and truly federal Oration was delivered to a numerous and crowded assembly, by Doctor JOHN CONVERSE, of that town. The procession then returned, and at three o'clock partook of an elegant dinner, at the house of Mr. Joseph Proctor. After dinner the usual number of Toasts were drunk accompanied with a discharge of musketry.
At Newburyport, on the inst. two sailors, intoxicated with liquor, and riding in a chaise, overlet it—and a splinter passed through the body of one and killed him instantly. He is said to have been a Joseph Hurford, of Kennebec.
A dreadful storm of hail and rain were experienced at Cincinnati, the 25th May: and with other damage 1924 panes of glass were destroyed.
A Mr. Jenks, living in the town of Spencer, raised the last year, one hundred and sixty bushels of Indian Corn (unculled) from only two acres of ground!
SEVENTH CONGRESS.
The Washing on National Intelligence in a view of the next Federal Legislature, calculates that the House of Representatives will contain only 34 federal, to 67 antifederal members. It does not, however, reckon the new delegation of New Hampshire, which adds four to the federal number. In the Senate it expects 16 ants to 14 federalists, certain—It counts only one Senator each for Maryland and Delaware. If it saith, both the Senators to be chosen in those States should prove federal, each file, having an equal strength. The Vice President will decide. The Intelligence denominates the parties, Republicans and Federalists. We choose to call the former by their old and proper name—Antifederalists—for we can prove from official documents, that two thirds of them voted against, and did all in their power to destroy the CONSTITUTION of our country in its infancy:—And that the other third shrouded their enmity towards that Constitution under the plea of Amendments, which Mr. Madison then said was only securing the bar to make its execution more sure. [Continued.]

Wheaton's Jaundice Bitters.
Secured to him by letters Patent from the President of the United States. THE successful effects of these Bitters have been fully experienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundice and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the sinking faint distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness, so disagreeable to be borne, and the pressure and distress of breathing; restoring also strength to the weak and trembling limbs, removing the yellowness of countenance so common to jaundice and weakly people, and also the dizziness of the head and weakness of the sight. They remarkably relieve low spirited and melancholy people, and carry off hysterical and hypochondriac complaints. They are an excellent remedy for scrofulous and scorbutic disorders. They are very useful for Seamen to take often when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preventative against disorders incident to such climates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by removing obstructions, carrying off bile, and giving a free circulation to the blood. The above Bitters are for sale by JOHN COE, at No. 5 Fifth-street.—Price 3/6 the Box. Portland, July 13, 1801.

THEATRE,
UNION-HALL—PORTLAND.
This Evening, Monday July 13, Will be presented, (for that night only) a COMEDY—called
SUCH THINGS ARE:
Or the PHILANTHROPIST of the WORLD.
This excellent COMEDY is the production of the celebrated Mrs. Inchbald, highly distinguished by the Literati for many of the most pleasing and instructive Dramatic pieces extant. The choice and ingenuity of the plot of "Such Things Are," are not only truly interesting, but equally diverting. The Utile & dulce are so peculiarly and happily blended, that every Auditor must ingeniously confess, as well as feel their powerful and pleasing effect. The characters of this piece are admirably contrasted: The Comic are highly animated; whilst those of a serious nature are forcibly penetrative on the feeling bosom of sensibility. The uncommon success this play has been honored with, by crowded audiences in Philad. N. Y. Boston, Charleston, &c is a greater panegyric than possibly can be paid to its merit within the few lines here presented to the public. The phiznt copy which breathes thro' this production is a lesson and admonition to every moralist and christian. The authors had delineated the character of the amiable Mr. Howard (whose life was continually employed in wiping the tear from the eye of distress) in such glowing colours that "Such Things Are" will remain a more valuable and lasting monument to his memory, than any his country could erect to immortalize the name of that Great and Worthy Man.
Sultan—Mr. Downie, Lord Flim—Mr. Kenney, Sir Luke Tremor—Mr. Dickenson, Twincall—Mr. Powell, Mr. Halwell—Mr. Harper, Elvirus—Miss Field, Zedan—Mr. Villiers, Eirist Keeper—Mr. Barnes, Second Keeper—Mr. Parsons, Lady Tremont—Mrs. Downie, Aurelia—Mrs. Dickenson, Female Prisoner—Mrs. Powell,

Portland, June 29, 1801

The Committee of Health, RENEW their annual address to the inhabitants of the town of Portland, by republishing the 11th section of the law to prevent the spreading of malignant fevers and contagious sickness, to which they request that particular attention may be paid the present season. The section is as follows:
"BE it further enacted, That each town or district in this Commonwealth, may at their meeting held in March or April annually, or at any other meeting legally warned for that purpose, when they shall judge it to be necessary, choose and appoint a Health Committee to consist of not less than five, nor more than nine suitable persons, or one person to be a Health Officer, whose duty it shall be to remove all filth of any kind whatever, which shall be found in any of the streets, lanes, wharves, docks, or any other place whatever within the limits of the town to which such Committee or Health Officer belongs whenever such filth shall in their judgments, endanger the lives or the health of the inhabitants thereof; all expenses whereof to be paid by the person or persons who placed it there, if known or if not, by the town by which said Committee or Health Officer was appointed. And whenever any filth as aforesaid shall be found on any private property, said Committee or Health Officer shall notify the owner or occupier thereof, after twenty four hours to remove the same at their own expense; and in case said owner or occupier shall neglect to remove such filth from his or her property after the expiration of the time aforesaid, he or they so offending shall forfeit, and pay a fine of one hundred dollars, to be paid for and recovered with costs of suit, by said Committee or Health Officer, before any Court proper to try the same. For the use of the poor of the town in which such offence is committed, And said owner or occupier as aforesaid shall be obliged to repay to said town all costs and charges, which the said Committee or Health Officer may have incurred in removing the filth from his or her property; and in case of refusal to pay the same, he or they may be sued in the same way as is provided in this act for the recovery of fines as aforesaid."
The good wishes and well meant endeavors of the Committee during the two last years, have been in some measure successful; but it must be very evident that many have neglected to comply with the wholesome provision of the law. It is the duty of the Committee to enforce it, and they hereby give notice that they shall inflict the penalty on every person who shall be guilty of any of the offences against the general safety, without favor or distinction. In the mean time the co-operation of every citizen is required, and the Committee hope that the sense of common danger during the hot season may effect all in such a manner as to render the chastisement of law unnecessary.
And to the intent that it may be understood in what manner the Committee will perform their duty, they give notice that the following regulations will be observed.
 1. The Committee will appoint suitable persons to remove such nuisances as are within their jurisdiction, at the expense of the offender, or of the town.  2. After reasonable notice to any person, of the opinion of the committee that any filth is within the design of the law, suits will be commenced and prosecuted without favor or distinction.  3. Information given to the Committee or Police will be attended to by them.  4. The Inspector of Police is appointed a sub-committee to direct such persons as shall be employed by this Committee, and they are hereby required to obey his orders. 
JOSIAH TUCKER, THOMAS MOTLEY, EBENEZER MAYO, WILLIAM SYMMES, SALMON CHASE. Health Committee. Portland, June 15.
The Inspector of Police,
SENSIBLE to the obligation he is under faithfully to discharge the duties of the office confided to him by the town, takes this opportunity publicly to declare his determination to carry fully into effect the By Laws "To prevent the spreading of malignant fevers and other contagious sickness," and for other purposes. To enable him to discharge his duty, and to answer the design of these laws, he earnestly solicits the aid and assistance of all the well disposed citizens, in keeping clean the streets, lanes and backyards. As cleanliness is conducive to health, and is an ornament of the town, he anticipates a ready compliance with the law in this respect. It being impossible for the Inspector to be at every neglected and violation of the good and wholesome regulations of the town, he hopes the inhabitants will be attentive and vigilant, and complain to him of all nuisances, and other offences against the laws; and he assures them of his readiness and determination to bring all offenders to punishment.
JOSIAH TUCKER, Inspector of Police.
