LONDON, March 26.
The Dutch mail arrived this morning. It contains a very important article from Milan, of the 22d ult. which states that the vice-president of the Italian republic, has published a decree, by which the use of the French almanac is abolished, and the Gregorian, or Christian Calendar, is henceforward to be exclusively recognized by the government and people. The motive assigned for this measure, is a respect for the usages of the people, and especially for religious worship. The same article intimates that the French style has been already revoked by the consular government.
Marquis Wellesley, immediately on his arrival at Bengal, directed that no newspaper should be published without being previously inspected and approved by the chief secretary to the government. Mr. Barlow, the present vice-president in Calcutta, was the first appointed to execute so pleasant a duty.
It is reported that there is to be a perpetual president in the corps legislature and the tribunate. It is given out that L. Buonaparte is to be president of the latter with a pension of 80,000 livres per annum.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 26.
DIED —At Mount Vernon on Saturday evening last, Mrs. MARTHA WASHINGTON, widow of the late illustrious Gen. GEORGE WASHINGTON. To those amiable and christian virtues, which adorn the female character, she added dignity of manners, superiority of understanding, a mind intelligent and elevated.—The silence of respectful grief is her best eulogy.
A letter to the editor received by the Dyett, arrived yesterday from New-Orleans, mentions, that advices had been received there, that the province of Louisiana, was to remain under the Spanish jurisdiction—an intelligence highly gratifying to the residents in that place. (N. Y. D. Ad.)
BALTIMORE, May 25.
Capt. Rogers of this port and capt. Davidson of the St. Domingo Packet, came passengers in the Schooner Pomona on Saturday. They are both in better health than might be
expected from the treatment they received, of the severity and harshness of which they confirm the accounts we have already had. As they were arrested and imprisoned without any crime being alleged against them, so they were liberated without being able to learn the grounds on which the arrest had been made; and the order to leave the island in four days, and never to return under pain of death, was so peremptory that had the Pomona not been coming away they would have been under the necessity of putting to sea in the long boat of the St. Domingo Packet.
This is a humiliating circumstance for our country, and will forever remain a reflection against the government, unless properly and spiritedly noticed. Those gentlemen, one of whom has borne an honorable and conspicuous rank in our navy, the other a respectable commercial character, as well as a captain of Philadelphia, have been immured 18 days in a loathsome, pestiferous prison at the Cape, 4 of which in separate dungeons, during which time they were suffered to take no other sustenance than bread and water, and for the whole period debarred all visits from their countrymen—and all this for no crime done or contemplated! 'Tis childish for our squadrons to be sent all the way to Barbary to assert the independence of our country and the freedom of our commerce, if our citizens can be deprived of all the rights of nature under the very nose of our government. Something ought and we hope will be done, to secure our commerce from such infamous tyranny in future.
The property belonging to those gentlemen, we are happy to learn, is all to be restored to them, and part had been refunded before they came away. They confirm the accounts of the surrender of Christophe, or rather of Gen. Leclerc, for it was so viewed at the Cape, being a surrender more on the part of the whites than on that of the blacks. The terms offered to Toussaint (who has not been wounded as reported) were, that he should be maintained in his estates and have the command of lieut. gen. of the island.
His answer had not been received. Christophe was to have some considerable command in the north. The Americans were leaving the island as fast as possible. (Fed. Gaz.)

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.
Extract of a letter from Elizabeth City, North Carolina, dated May 12.
"We are all under arms—a negro plot was discovered ten days past in this country, which has been very serious, and we find there is a chain of those horrid savages run through this state and Virginia. It appears by some of the evidences we are in possession of, that they were to rise this week, by others at harvest, and to murder all the whites without regard to age or sex, and all the blacks that would not join them.
"We are in possession of the general who was tried by a Special Court yesterday at Camden Court house, and sentenced to death, the ringleader of this County, by name Tom Copper, has been taken but made his escape, he is now outlawed, we have his two lieutenants and just sent them off under a detachment of the horse to Hartford, Perquimans county, to be tried, as they belong and were taken by our horse in that county.
"This business you may depend is very serious, and effects our business much. We hope shortly to give you an account of some of the savages, pulling hemp .—We are unfortunately badly provided with arms in this country, but by the assistance of those we take from the savages, trust under God we shall be able to suppress this infernal attempt."
Lexington, June 11.
The District Court for the Lexington District, commenced its June session on Monday last. We are pleased in not having the disagreeable task to perform, of telling to the world who was arraigned at the bar, who is to hang, and who serve in the Penitentiary; there being no presentment this term.
DIED —On Saturday last in this place, Mr. JOHN HARGY. On Sunday his remains were interred, attended by a very numerous and respectable concourse of citizens.
Extract of a letter, to a merchant in Philadelphia, dated Natchez, fifteenth of February, in order to put other passengers on their guard against similar Banditti.
"Natchez, Feb. 15, 1802.
"It is our misfortune to have to inform you of a disagreeable occurrence which happened to us on our passage here. We have had the calamity to be robbed by a party of white men, who had pursued our boat for near sixty miles. I shall state to you, as near as possible, the circumstances of the unpleasant event: On the day previous to the robbery (January 29) we were hailed by those men, then encamped at the mouth of White river, about 300 miles from hence—from our having been led to expect such people there, we were unconscious of any design other than to purchase articles for kinging up to a small village called Lazard, the inhabitants of which depend for many articles of provision on the boats passing—we having some small articles
which suited them, they requested us to lay on shore, and let them have them, which we did—among the rest we sold two rifle guns, which we had brought for our amusement on the river, (never conceiving them necessary for defence,) and to sell them when an opportunity offered—to secure our arms, seems to have been the first step of their plan—it being late before we had concluded our trade with them, we did not set off that night, but lay within a mile of their encampment unmolested:—next morning we departed early, made a long trip that day, and came too at about 6 o'clock in the evening—about 9 o'clock we were somewhat alarmed, by hearing a rustling noise in the leaves adjoining, on which we went forward and demanded who was there, which was answered by a person who said with much cursing and abusive language, that we were seen taking runaway negroes on board, of which he and his party were in pursuit, and desiring us to leave the boat, or he would put every man to death. To quit the boat we positively refused, but told them they had permission to come and search, on which they commenced firing on us and continued it for fourteen shots, when we were obliged to surrender, and left the boat, on which they entered her, broke open all the trunks, and cut the coverlids of the bales; and we are sorry to add, that they were too successful in their depredations, having carried off goods to the amount of Two Thousand Dollars, all of which they put on board a skiff which we had, and proceeded up the river.—Such has been our mishap, and serious you know the loss must be to us, at our commencement; however, we do not fear being able to recover it by care and industry."
FOR SALE, A Likely NEGRO MAN, ABOUT 25 or 26 years of age. He can be well recommended for his honesty, industry, &c. A credit will be given for half the purchase money. For further particulars, apply to the Printer hereof. June 9th, 1802.

VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACBEAN & POYZER , will in future be sold by Mr. NATHANIEL HART , 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, Asthma, sore Throats and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOP-ING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
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 an hundred had occasion to take more than one, numbers not half a bottle.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Henry G. Soper, Kent County, Delaware.
"I have given the ague drops to a number of patients this fall, and with constant success; in some obstinate cases they acted like a charm, the diseases yielding in a day or two to this remedy, after resisting the barks for months, and when they had been thrown in the largest doses."
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
For corns speedily removing them root and branch without giving pain.
DR. 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. &c.
And it is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Nervous disorders, Consumption, Indigestion, Lowness of spirits, Melancholy, Loss of appetite, Relaxations, Impurities of the blood, Involuntary emissions, Hysterical affections, Obstinate gleet, Inward weakness, Fluor albus, &c.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and sending forth from that organ new health and vigour into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without endangering it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; bring back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores the nutrition which immoderate evacuations have destroyed and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old strains, and relaxations, numbness and weakness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chilblains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold and windy complaints in the stomach and bowels, flying pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experience sufficiently prove the superiority of the above medicines over all others, in the cure of the maladies we have enumerated.
Letter from Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe County, Virg. October 7, 1801.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard , which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in Materia Medica , and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease.
If you think this letter may be useful, you are at liberty to make it public.
P. WEATHERBURN.
Messrs. R. LEE & Co.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BLIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by person in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions - to restore and amend the appetite to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with fatal consequences - a dose never fails to remove a colic, 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.
PERSIAN LOTION.
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe is an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, from corrosive and replent minerals, (the basis of other lotion) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun-burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration, which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, render the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident deflections of rheums, dullness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers & wonderfully strengthening a weak sight - Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
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.
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE,
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as 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 colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR

HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Description of worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz the Teres, or large round worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat white 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 or speech - starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep - irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious - purging, with slimy and fetid stools - vomiting - large and hard belly - pains and sickness at the stomach - pains in the head and thighs with lowness of spirits - flow 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.
This medicine, which is innocent and mild, as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, with out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders proceed.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance and agreeable taste.
As upwards one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, and of every age, have received benefit from this extraordinary medicine, a multitude of certificates of cures may be seen, in addition to those already published.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children; a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is like-wise the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint - particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Letter from Mr. Benj. Williams, No. 50, Baltimore street, two doors above South-Gay-street.
Gentlemen, I have a son six years of age, who for four years past has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in the summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasting fast, his breath became fetid, an almost constant itching of the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore was successively procured. Each of these gentlemen in their turn declared worms to be the cause of his disorder, and exhausted their skill in attempts to expel them, pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours. I had frequently heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges , but like many others, did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moor) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make a trial of them. I accordingly gave my son a dose, agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about 12 inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worm appeared. The child recovered, and now enjoys a good state of health.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
IN the year 1800, the subscribers here-to gave their bond, to a certain Philip Nagley, for six hundred pounds (payable at sundry times) for certain tracts of land in Mercer county, and have made payment to the amount of about two hundred and fifty six pounds, and having lately been informed that the land so purchased, had unknown to the subscribers been previously mortgaged to a certain Benjamin Letcher, for the security of the payment of three hundred and sixty pounds. The subscribers therefore do not intend to make any further payments towards the said bond until they are assured that the said mortgage is taken up, as the amount for which the land was mortgaged, with the payments already made exceed the amount for which their bond was given.

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL.
LONDON, April 10.
In announcing that the final arrangement of general Peace is so near at hand it is with much pain we give to the public any information pending to damp their joy. We received private advices from the continent yesterday, which, in addition to the contents of public papers, leave very little doubt that the flames of war just extinguished in the West of Europe are on the eve of being rekindled in the East. We are assured the event which every one has so plainly foreseen is on the point of taking place; that the partition of the Turkish empire is agreed upon, and that Bona-part has succeeded in persuading Russia, Austria and Prussia, tempted by the prospect of aggrandizement, to enter into his views. It is possible that Mr. Bassett, the messenger, bro't official intelligence of this to our minister a few days ago. We understand Russia and Austria, will immediately invade the Turkish dominions.
This intelligence comes by a private channel; but it rests on good authority, and is strongly supported by the contents of foreign journals. From the French, German and Dutch mails, received yesterday, we have made extracts under the head "Turkish Empire," which will enable our readers to judge how far our opinion is founded. It appears, the French minister at Constantinople, received dispatches of great importance; that the English minister at Vienna received a messenger, from Constantinople with dispatches of great importance also; the Grand Seigneur and the Divan, expect the ultimatum of England with impatience, as it was reported Austria and Russia had agreed to seize upon the Western Provinces, which are in a state of anarchy; that the Archduke Charles had called from his hermitage Field martial Cobourg, and is busily engaged with him in organizing the army; that the Austrian troops at Hungary are in motion, and their designs of seizing upon several Turkish provinces is no longer doubtful; that 25,000 men are in Transylvania alone; that numerous Austrian armies are assembling in Eastern Gallacia to seize Moldavia; and that cordons of troops are on the frontiers of Bosnia and Servia, which are to co-operate with Russian troops destined to take possession of the Turkish towns of Bender and Alkaman. While these formidable measures are pursuing against the Turks, they are embroiled with the English on account of the massacre of the Beys. The Turkish empire left alone, and attacked as it will be by all the great military powers of Europe, must fall; Buonaparte will then obtain his objects, E-
gypt and Greece, in defiance of the British marine. If he cannot reach them by sea he will by land - and the very pretext will be used by the great military powers for partitioning Turkey, which they lately used for their attempt to partition France. The "disorder, anarchy and confusion, will be found so great, as to threaten the very existence of civil society; no regular government" will be able to exist, unless the Turks are reduced, and the scenes acting in Poland, attempted in France, will be repeated in the territories of the Ottoman Porte. All these powers want is dominions; principles and morality are mere cant. Since they find by "the result of experience and the evidence of facts" that they cannot obtain it in France - why - a slice of Turkey will do as well.
Should a general attack upon the Turkish empire be made, what part will England take? Ten years ago Mr. Pitt desired and parliament voted it too! that we should go to war with Russia rather than allow the cession of a single Turkish town to her. Will England now see the whole empire broken up, Greece, Egypt taken, India threatened? In the definitive treaty, England guarantees the integrity of the Turkish empire against France; but France in the first instance will probably not interfere. Russia and Austria will do the business while France and Prussia will receive their dividend of the spoil. - Or even should France interfere, she will no further violate the Definitive treaty respecting Turkey, than she has done the preliminaries respecting the integrity of Portugal, a step to which ministers have submitted. Perhaps Mr. Addington alluded to this approaching war, when he concluded his speech on the budget, he expressed a hope of preserving peace by steering clear of the quarrels of other nations.
It appears that the new republic of the Seven Islands is distracted by civil dissensions. The assembly convoked to give their opinion upon certain alterations in the constitution, sanctioned by the Ottoman Porte and its allies, have annulled that constitution and appointed a new legislature. The Kaimacan has in consequence addressed a letter to the President of the senate, demanding the immediate re-establishment of the former system, to effect which the Russian squadron and troops at Naples would, if necessary, be employed.
NEW-YORK, May 24.
One of the most important circumstances we have to announce is, the suspension of payments in specie at the bank of England.
BALTIMORE, May 27.
We learn, though without being able to obtain it, that a proclamation by General Le Clerck is in town, stating the termination of hostilities in St. Domingo, and the terms of accommodation with the negro chiefs. The black army, we understand, is taken into pay by Le Clerck, and Toussaint retires to his estates.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated April 2, to a gentleman in Philadelphia.
"The British squadron from Egypt, under lord admiral Keith and vice admiral Saumarez, arrived here a few days ago. There are also here some Portuguese ships of war destined for the Mediterranean, to cruise against the Algerines. The Swedes are cruising in concert with the Americans against the Tripolitans, with a squadron consisting of three heavy frigates and a 64. We also learn that the king of Sweden, anxious to give a decisive blow whilst a good opportunity serves, has sent orders to his commodore off Tripoli, to prepare bombs, boats, and every other necessary implement for besieging the town, together with a plan for laying the siege, requesting it might be laid before the American commodore, whom he hopes will take an active part in the arrangement, as well as in the contest - placing great reliance on the skill and intrepidity of the American character."
Extract of a letter from London, dated April 6.
"Since my last, two events have caused a considerable rise in the scale of public confidence, the first is the arrival of the definitive treaty, the other the minister's declaration a few days ago in the house of Commons, that he intended to move for a repeal of the income tax, and though the wants of the nation make it necessary for him to borrow 26 millions and a half for the service of the current year for England and Ireland, and to raise, besides that, four millions to pay the interest of 97 millions borrowed already, on the pledge of the income tax; he has not only done both, and in borrowing the sum he wanted, made a good bargain for the public; but he has laid on such taxes as will more than amount to an equivalent for the income tax, without exciting any alarm or appearing to be at all burthensome."

TAKE NOTICE
THAT I gave a bond to Robert Sanders, Scott county, in February, 1799, for the sum of two hundred pounds; which bond was discharged in a short time after, which I have sufficient offsets to show where I paid it, with a number of gentlemen, which I expect can show said Sanders's receipt. Therefore I forewarn all persons from dealing for it, or taking any assignment on it, as I am determined never to discharge it again. BENJN. WHARTON. May 23th, 1802.
