Selected Poetry.
The odes of Anacreon, it is remarked, by his latest translator, are all beauty, all enchantment. He steals us so insensibly along with him, that we sympathize even in his excesses. In his amatory odes there is a delicacy of compliment not to be found in any other ancient poet.
P. Folio.
COUNT me on the summer trees, Every leaf that courts the breeze; Count me on the foaming deep, Every wave, that sinks to sleep; Then, when you have numbered these Billowy tides and lofty trees, Count me all the flames I prove, All the gentle nymphs I love. First, of pure Athenian maids, Sporting in their olive shades, You may reckon just a score, Nay, I'll grant you fifteen more, In the sweet Corinthian grove, Where the glowing wantons rove; Chains of beauties may be found, Chains by which my heart is bound; There, indeed, are girls divine, Dangerous to a soul like mine! Many bloom in Lesbos' isle, Many in Ionia smile; Rhodes a pretty swarm can boast, Caria too, contains a host. Sum these all—of brown and fair, You may count two hundred there! What, you gaze? I pray you peace! More I'll find, before I cease. Have I told you all my flames 'Mong the amorous Syrian dames? Have I numbered every one, Glowing under Egypt's sun? Or the nymphs, who blushing sweet, Deck the shrine of love in Crete; Where the god, with festal play, Holds eternal holiday? Still, in clusters, still remain Gade's warm desiring train; Still there lies a myriad more, On the fable Indian shore; These, and many far remov'd, Are all loving—all are lov'd!
Political Miscellany.
[We select the following political sentiments from the Newport Mercury , of last week. They so perfectly accord with our own, and so ably answer the false accusations of those characters who have wickedly represented us as devoted to party purposes, that we cannot resist the pleasure of laying them before our readers.—Every candid man will read them with pride and with pleasure.]
It is somewhere said by Adam Smith, that "The good temper and moderation of contending factions, seems to be the most essential circumstance in the public morals of a free people." We have endeavored to cultivate this good temper, and encourage this moderation. The real difference of political principle, is less than those describe it to be, whose fortunes have been made by late contentions and revolutions. We are all Americans, and ought to prefer our own country to any other. We have a constitution that guarantees republican forms of government, and we ought equally to reject the dangerous disorder and licentious turbulence of a democracy, the over-bearing haughtiness of an aristocracy, and the pomp, parade and prerogatives of monarchy. The federalists can hardly with any propriety of language, or any recollection of the history of our country, be called a faction or party. They were the set of men who made the Constitution, and who derived their name from their attachment to it.
After the constitution was adopted they certainly were not a party, unless a party can be said to include the whole nation. Those who had opposed the constitution, submitted to the deliberate opinion of the majority, and in 1790, '91 and part of '92, there was no political party in the country. The name of federalist obtained its universal currency, on account perhaps of a publication containing the most able defence of the constitution, which assumed that name. That defence is indeed unanswerable. Sound and solid in argument, pure and perspicuous in diction, in its erudition as comprehensive as accurate, combining by its industry of research, and clearness of conception, whatever ancient wisdom or modern ingenuity has suggested on the science of government; it stands the proud monument of literature, political and patriotic labor, that any country ever erected. But Madison was a contributor to this work, as well as Hamilton and Jay. The exertions of Chancellor Livingston, in the convention of New York, ought still to be gratefully remembered; and the former federalism of Charles Pinckney throws a gleam of light on the gross darkness of his general character.
At this period all were federalists, or affected to be so. Federalism was the national sentiment. It
meant an affection for the national constitution, and a determination to support the national administration, in the just and legitimate exercise of its constitutional authorities. How inexplicably strange that such a sentiment should become unfashionable, and the denunciation of its adherents unpopular. But this inconsistency which strikes us most forcibly at first sight. Examination soon diminishes the effect of the first impression, and we find in disappointed ambition, and envious discontent, sufficient general causes for this absurd incongruity of political opinions.
A detail of the particular operation of these causes would not be difficult, but it is unnecessary. We all know at what period the attack on the administration of Washington became open and outrageous. It was connected with and inspired by foreign influence. The ferment excited in the progress of the French Revolution, evolved a spirit of opposition to our constitution. It propagated theories false in themselves, and incompatible with our system of freedom. It countenanced appeals to the people, in a country where the people were represented by men of their own unbiased election, and founded the trumpet of revolution in a country just settling into repose and contentment. It inspired that party, always hostile to the true interests of our country, who hated and opposed the federal constitution. The felicity it diffused was not the effect of their counsels, and it falsified their malignant predictions. It offended their pride, and embittered their envy. This party faltered themselves, on the prejudices of the people. They deceived them by fallacies, they deluded them by promises. The abilities of Hamilton were pre-eminently conspicuous. Wherever they turned their view, they saw the effects of his comprehensive intelligence, of his vigorous and diversified talent. The flowing credit, the flourishing commerce, the animated enterprise of the country, pronounced his eulogium. That he must be destroyed was the secret resolve of faction. And if, in the allotment of Providence, it had been permitted that fraud, artifice, cunning and falsehood, were to overcome stern integrity, resolute courage, and consummate ability, he had been destroyed. For what has been left unattempted, that tended to subvert the reputation of this illustrious statesman. They found Washington a barrier to their progress. It was determined to undermine what they dared not at first openly attack. And though his fame was the glory of the country, that likewise was doomed to ruin. The chief of those who had combined for this purpose, sagacious in plans of mischief, wary and circumpect in their execution, whose caution was proportioned to his cowardice, and whose cowardice was excessive, who while he reposed on the bosom of his friend, was feeling there, for the spot in which it was to be wounded; selected the press as the weapon of destruction, and hired assassins to inflict the blow. A discontented accomplice has betrayed the whole plan, and his confession confirmed by circumstances, and unrepelled by contrary evidence, has ascertained his employer's infamy and guilt.
By plans of misrepresentation and calumny, more regular and systematized than plans of wickedness generally are, were the passions of the people inflamed. A faction arrogated to themselves, the attributes of their exclusive friends. They confined to themselves, the justly revered name of republicans. They endeavoured to render the name of federalist unlovely and unpopular, by separating it from that of republican. It is an unjust and an unnatural separation. Every federalist is a republican. Every republican is not a federalist. Every man attached to the federal constitution must be a federalist. It means love of his country, and affection to that system, that preserved it from the horrors of anarchy, and raised it to an enviable height of prosperity and happiness. Things must return to their natural order. The people will not be forever imposed upon by specious names and plausible pretences. If the natural good sense of the country were left to itself, it would work its own way. If the press was left to the management of the native citizens of the country, it would lose more than half its invective and violence. Compare Mr. Blake's sentiments in relation, to French ambition and aggrandizement, to those of Duane, of Cheetham and others. They are foreigners, enlisted in a foreign cause. They exert themselves for the foreign minister who pays them. The other, however willing to distinguish himself, as the literary advocate of his sect, is an American, with American feelings and prejudices. He is a republican, and can see no image of a republican, in a government surrounded and supported by the bayonets of half a million of mercenary troops. The degradation of the honor, the diminution of the rights, and extinguishment, even of the existence of foreign states, appear to him not very amiable features of republicanism. He sees in the present war of England, a contest
not for plunder, or glory, or aggrandizement; but for safety and self existence. He sees the liberties of all mankind threatened by the over-bearing domination, the insidious intrigues of the French Republic. And of this lie boldly and wisely admonishes his countrymen.
There is a sentiment at this moment alive in society, which if duly encouraged, will bring sound and honest men together. The old natural federal party—the party of the whole nation—the party of 1790 is reviving. Every federal citizen is now called upon, by the most serious considerations, to fortify himself in his old principles, to assert the propriety of his party name, to vindicate the rectitude of his principles, and by mild, moderate and constitutional means, to promote their spread and ensure their success.
Bonaparte's sending a garrison of 12,000 French soldiers to Lisbon, while the ink of his manifesto is not dry, in which he publicly exclaims: "Shall one nation submit to the will of another without discussion of its rights," is one of the most consummate derelictions of all pretensions to faith, or character we have ever heard of. The consequence will be, that England will seize all the Portuguese possessions in the East: "in usum jus habentis." Madeira and the Western Isles of course will be hers: and "Brazil" and "Buenos Ayres" will open her a road to the richest Spanish possessions in South America. What a change in the map of the world, what a revolution in the property, in the means of earthly comfort, and every thing as well as in the morals of society, will that accursed French Revolution have effected, before many years more shall have elapsed."— Charleston Courier.

HYDROPHOBIA cured by GALVANISM.
Galvanism has been applied with great success in a case of paralysis of the optic nerve, or what is called gutta serena . It has also cured a paralytic affection of the eye, and has effected a something cures in cases of hydrophobia—A man who had been bitten by a mad dog, and was in the last stage of canine madness, was taken to Professor Rossi, at Milan, who, perceiving that he could not endure the sight of water, or even any shining body, prepared, in another room, a Galvanic pile of 50 pairs of zinc and silver plates, separated by 50 discs of pasteboard moistened in a solution of muriate of ammonia: he then used small slips of moistened whited brown paper for a conductor, on which he caused the naked feet of the patient to be placed, and at the moment he opened his mouth to bite, he thrust in the end of the conducting rod, which communicated with the other extremity of the pile.
The patient suffered much during this operation, which, after several shocks, rendered him so weak, that he was unable to stand: being then extended on the floor, he was Galvanized with facility, the operation producing a copious perspiration. At two o'clock on the day succeeding, the process was repeated, and at six o'clock on the following morning, the man went alone to M. Rossi, to tell him he was perfectly cured, for he felt no pain, the inflammation in his throat had subsided, and he had entirely lost all aversion to water and other liquids. Some time after, he again submitted to the shock, and is now perfectly recovered.
Galvanism is now considered as a modification of electricity, which renders the fluid more active, as the small flame, separated by the blow-pipe, is infinitely more powerful than the large flame from which it proceeds. Animals, which had only been flayed by the most powerful explosions of the magic tool, were killed in less than three minutes by Galvanism, which was far from being strong—like electricity, it may do much harm by misapplication; but its judiciously regulated use, at the moment when any accidental cause has suspended the functions of the organs, may preserve the lives of thousands.
The Emperor of Russia has employed a celebrated physician and chemist, named Bussaz, to make a tour of that immense empire, for the purpose of extending the vaccine inoculation.
Vaccination has been found in Turkey, an antidote to the plague; some persons who have been inoculated with the cow-pock, have escaped infection, although purposely exposed to it. This progress has been tried on dogs, but does not preserve from the disorders peculiar to them.
Galvanism has lately been applied with great success in cases of deafness, particularly when assisted by epispastic remedies. Aldini and others have discovered, that water, as in electricity, acts as a conductor of the galvanic fluid to very great distances.
As a proof of the increasing civilization of the Turks, it is mentioned that there are now eight printing presses in Constantinople, partly supported by occasional presents from the Sultan—hitherto they have been confined to works of lexicography.
A case of trismus, or lock-jaw, was lately cured at the Kinsbury Dispensary, by opiate injection—after three weeks, an ounce was daily forced into the frame by this mode of cutaneous application. A chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, was also cured by reel pills, in which were mixed one grain and a half of ferr vitriol, and two of myrrh, given to the patient in doses of three each, every six hours.

Be just, and fear not, Let all the ends thou aim'st at, be thy country's, The God's, and truth's."
Louisiana.—A late writer on the Louisiana purchase, says, the sum to be paid for it, is within one million of the whole amount (according to the best calculations) of all the circulating specie in the United States. It is about three dollars each, for every inhabitant of every age and color, and about twenty three dollars for every taxable inhabitant in the Union. It would load seven hundred and eighty eight wagons with silver, at the rate of half a ton to each wagon; and according to the British estimation, would build forty three 74 gun ships.
A writer in a Southern paper makes the following contrast:—"Timothy Pickering disbursed many millions of dollars: he remitted vast sums to Europe; he gained in the operation of bills of exchange more than 14,000,000 dollars. He was abused and calumniated in the most opprobrious manner by Gallatin and others. A revolution happens. Pickering goes out; Gallatin comes in; and in the first scene of the first act of his administration, he sinks more than one hundred thousand dollars in the sale of bank stock, and the party justify it, by saying that he might have lost more in remitting bills of exchange."—Sal. Gaz.
We lately published Sir Robert Wilson's account of Bonaparte's cruel butchery of his prisoners at Jaffa. The following is a different account, laid in the Chronicle to have been taken from Arthur Aikin's history of the French invasion of Egypt:
"After the battle of Gaza, Bonaparte crossed an immense plain to Jaffa, a seaport town which he was compelled to take by assault. "Never (says this General, in his official dispatch) did the horrors of war appear to me so hideous." Without an idea of capitulation, the orientals truly fight for death or victory. On entering the place, the garrison defended itself from house to house, and it was only by killing four thousand of the Pacha's troops, and a part of the inhabitants, that they could be subdued. As soon as he was master of the city and forts, Bonaparte gave orders for sparing the inhabitants; and Gen. Robin, after some difficulty, stopped the disorders which usually follow an assault. Three hundred Egyptians, prisoners of the Pacha, were restored to their houses.
"This affair, which to the French Generals appeared deplorable, supplied Sir Sydney Smith with a story of the "inhuman massacre at Jaffa," and Mr. Morier with that of the "four thousand five hundred prisoners of war," who were made to stand still while the soldiers murdered them by charge of bayonet, and which has this poetical ending: "To this day, their skeletons, and the sands steeped with gore attest the barbarous act." It is lamentable to hear an Ambassador's Secretary, a man who ought to know something of the calumnies to which public characters are exposed, bring all history into contempt by relating such things as these; but he goes on to say, that after the siege of Acre, Bonaparte poisoned his wounded!"—ibid.
Croswell's trial.—On Monday, the 11th instant the trial was moved. Mr. Croswell's counsel moved to have the trial postponed; founding their motion upon an affidavit, that he could not safely proceed to trial without the attendance of witnesses from the state of Virginia, by whom he could prove the truth of what he had written. His counsel contended with great ability that, inasmuch as by the constitution, it was provided "that all such parts of the common law as are repugnant to this constitution be, and they are hereby abrogated and rejected," that principle of the English law which prevents the truth from being given in evidence ought to be rejected—or that otherwise we should present the miserable spectacle of a people entitled to choose their rulers; and at the same time forbidden to examine and publish the characters and conduct of those rulers. The chief justice Lewis decided that the defendant, Mr. Croswell, could not be permitted to prove the truth. "If your witness was here on the spot," he added, "I should not suffer him to open his lips." But it is all in character—a few steps more, and we too shall have a Bonaparte rising upon mock republicanism to absolute power. Then it will be too late—we shall see the delusion—but it will be too late. N. Y. paper
Hamburg, June 15.—A courier is just arrived at the Senate, and brings the account that three hundred French troops entered Cuxhaven yesterday, at 9, A. M. to occupy that port.
General Rivaud commands the French troops in the Duchy of Bremen and Verden. He is at Bremen—his troops at Verden.
The Senate received on the 23d, news of a French officer and 38 men, being in pursuit of the Duke of Cambridge, at Stade. His search was in vain. This officer and 600 men, with a train of artillery, occupy Stade. They will receive the toll.
The differences between Denmark and Algiers, are finally settled.
Vienna, June 9. In consequence of the system of neutrality, adopted by our Court, it has been ordered, that not more than five vessels of war of any nation, shall enter the ports of the Adriatic.
Frankfort, June 16.—The Court of Vienna, has received dispatches, which announce the near approach of the French into Naples. Every measure has been concerted and arranged in this respect between the French and Sicilian Governments.
The French will occupy all the seaports; but not the interior.
PARIS, JUNE 10. There is no doubt but Bonaparte's circular (published in our last) will meet with general approbation from the clergy. The consistory of the reformed church of Paris has returned the following reply.
Citizen First Consul, The religion of God is the friend of peace, and this character belongs, in the most decided manner to his ministers. It was therefore the real sentiment of the reformed Church of Paris, which wished you success, when you exchanged the flaming sword of war for the Olive branch of peace. But alas, citizen First Consul, why have we not been suffered to enjoy longer the fruits of your labor? Why are you forced, however reluctant, again to try the hazard of war; again to gird on the sword? We regret with you this painful necessity. But confiding with you in the justice of our cause, we unite with all France in wishing you success.
The consistory of the reformed church of Paris, is composed of citizens who, equally as landholders, magistrates, and merchants, are among the number of those who have nothing dearer at heart, than to avenge an unjust attack on their country.
But the same citizens offer you here the homage of the whole congregation. At the same time that sentiments of humanity induce them to wish ardently the return of a peace, consistent with rational honor, which cannot but be favorable to the service of God. They also promise you their assistance, to the extent of their abilities, in producing that desired event. Yes, they congratulate themselves, that they are in this respect united with all ranks of citizens who form the extended population of this republic.
Accept, citizen First Consul, the expression of our zeal for the good of our country; and while our JOSHUA must fight, our Moses shall not get tired of holding up his hands to the God of battles, praying his blessings on the efforts of our legions, so much accustomed to conquer: while the rash boastings of our enemies shall only serve to give an additional stimulus to our exertions, and our success will be more valued, the more dearly it is purchased.
Done in consistory at Paris, 12 Prarial, 11 year. (Signed) P. H. MARRON, President.

PETERSBURG, MAY 20. Princess Georgiana Maria, just getting into her
carriage to go, as she said, to Peterbourg, killed General Lararoff, commandant of the Russian troops in Gufina, by stabbing him with a poinard. At the same instant the daughter of this Princess attempted to stab a Russian Officer by whom the General was accompanied, he, however, parried the thrust; and we now wait with impatience for the details of so extraordinary an event.

BOSTON, AUGUST 19.
The following letter was received yesterday at the Health Office in this town, from the Mayor of the city of Newyork, in answer to a communication forwarded by B. Russell, Esq. one of the Board of Health, now in that city.
Newyork, 14 August, 1803.
SIR, I HAVE obligations from the Health Committee to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th inst. and to communicate the following facts:
That about the 20th July a malignant fever made its appearance on board some vessels laying in the eastern part of our city, and from that time to the date of your letter, was confined to a small district originally gained by filling in upon the harbor, and when the cellars were damp and unhealthy. Until that day 30 cases occurred, of which 16 proved mortal. From the 6th, the new cases have averaged about 14 in the 24 hours, until within two days, when they have decreased to ten and eleven. The deaths have varied from one to four in the course of the day; but we do not find any instance in which a patient, removed from the seat of contagion, has communicated the disease to his physician or attendants.
Be pleased, Sir, to assure the Board in which you preside, that, whatever may be the consequence to ourselves, we shall never suppress any fact the knowledge of which may be material to the safety of our neighbors, and that whenever applied to in the way of our politeness and delicacy have suggested, we shall be happy in making every communication you may desire on the subject.
We thank you for the kind wishes you have entertained in our behalf, and beg leave to assure you, that we sincerely rejoice in your total exemption from the evil with which we are now partially afflicted.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, Sir, your most obt. servant.
EDWARD LIVINGSTON, Mayor of the city of Newyork, &c. Chairman to the Health Committee.
ISAIAH DOANE, Esq. President of the Board of Health, Boston.
John Dalton, of Springfield township, was committed to the jail of this county on Sunday last, to take his trial at the next court of Oyer and terminer for killing Amos Holubard. On the 20th June, the deceased and Dalton were hoeing together, when a dispute arose between them, the origin of which is not known. After disputing a while Holubard went to a coal pit about 100 rods from Mr. Towne's, and Dalton followed him—here a scuffle ensued; the deceased threw Dalton, and held him until he promised to be quiet—he then let him up and went round the coal pit. Dalton addressing himself to the brother of the deceased, said "he would have satisfaction," and followed the deceased round the pit, who, in attempting to keep Dalton off struck him with his hoe. The prisoner immediately seized another hoe which lay near, and a number of blows were exchanged between them; one of which from Dalton knocked Holubard down. When he lay in this situation, the brother of the deceased begged Dalton not to strike his brother again as he had already killed him; this was twice repeated but Dalton walked round him, raising his hoe, struck him on the side of the head—Whether the last, or a preceding blow was mortal, is not certainly known; but one of them broke the skull of Holubard.—He languished in extreme pain until Wednesday the 6th inst. when he expired.

From a late Newyork paper.
The following amusing circumstance lately occurred in the neighborhood of Morris River, in west Newjersey.—A woman went in search of a hen's nest, and finding a hollow log, supposed the fowl might be in it, and sent a little girl, her daughter, to look for it; the child no sooner entered the log, than she informed her mother the hen bit at her, and would not come off the nest; the mother told the child to pull her off—after waiting a short space, and hearing nothing of the child, she called to her, but received no answer—the father of the child being called, split open the log, and found several rattlesnakes entwined round the body of the child and one around her neck, and she had been bitten in several places, and quite dead.
Phenomenon of Nature.—A circumstance occurred in the Western part of this state, between three and four years ago, which deserves to be recorded. About 750 or 800 feet from the top of the Ragged mountain, a stream of water 17 or 18 feet deep broke out. The eruption, which resembled the sound of distant thunder, carried with it a dwelling house—27 feet by 13, 400 yards from its source; the whole disappeared in about two minutes. The aperture in the mountain is about 40 feet long and thirty wide—the longest side of the cliff being up the mountain, and about three feet deep. The present head of the break is of soft rock: the surface of the earth covering, there about a stratum of rock. The stream tore up everything in its passage.
There are several other breaks in the same neighborhood. One of them built up a rock with a tree on it, and deposited it three or four feet from its original station.
The principal spot, first mentioned, seemed to have lost its force as it descended; which appears, by the comparative height, which it was thrown, in turning the point of the mountain which run into the valley.—These breaks are on every side of the mountain; but no instance of them ever occurred until within the period mentioned above.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Capt. R. Stover, who arrived here in the Mira, on Saturday evening, in 44 days from Liverpool, has furnished us with the latest intelligence from Europe. His London papers are to the 30th June, and Liverpool to 2d July. Their contents bespeak the most active warlike operations; the most important of which we deem the blockade of the River Elbe, which must considerably affect the trade of neutrals. Capt. Stover received the following note from the Consulate at Liverpool:
"His Britannic Majesty has judged it expedient to establish the most rigorous blockade at the entrance of the mouth of the river Elbe, and to maintain and enforce the same in the strictest manner acknowledged and allowed in similar cases. J. MADRE."
American Consulate, Liverpool, July 1, 1803. The subsequent comments on this blockade are extracted from the London Morning Chronicle of the 30th June.
"This measure is certainly of a bold and decisive character. The object of it probably is, to shew to the great neutral powers that, unless they cause the rights of neutrality to be respected, they must expect that the consequences will redound to their own confusion and loss. The navigation of the Elbe, a neutral river, has been shut against this country by the French seizing upon Hanover, a neutral territory. This country, therefore, acting upon force, to repeal a force acting against right, puts a stop to the navigation of the Elbe altogether. In truth, we are now, and have for a long time past, been in a state, in which force is the arbiter—and we verily believe that nothing but force and the opinion of force can decide the present contest. If the King of Prussia be actuated by the wish to derive advantage from carrying the produce of England and her colonies to Hamburgh, he will find himself disappointed. In the present circumstances, we are convinced that the best way for Government to protect our Commerce is to maintain the power and spirit of our country. Neutral powers will then find that it is their interest to defend the rights of neutrality in every instance, without which they will not experience the benefit of them where they would be most beneficial."
The story of invading England, is still kept up in France; and many are of opinion that it will be attempted. A flow of enthusiasm appears; and some of the First Consul's minions supplicate the honor of embarking with him in this glorious enterprise, while others are voting him ships of war and flat bottomed boats without number. But these measures operate only as a salutary stimulus with the English to adopt means to prevent the possibility of success; while at the same time they treat the subject with a considerable degree of levity. But they must remember that they have to contend with a man who would willingly sacrifice half the French nation, or perhaps the whole, to insure success.
Bonaparte, it appears by the last papers, set out on a tour to the Northern departments on the 23d June. He is gone in "royal state;" and one object of his journey is to survey his roads. A short time before his departure he presided in his Council of State. The sitting was unusually long, and the Consul is said to have been unusually tranquil and affable. He addressed his Council in a written speech, on a variety of political subjects. He began with assuring them that "before he commenced one of the most important projects ever undertaken by the chief of an empire" that he was satisfied with their zeal, and placed on it a reliance during his absence.—We shall give this paper at length in our next.
[Extracts from the papers]
LONDON, JUNE 28.
Cadiz, we now hear is to receive a French garrison, and Ferrol will probably be subjected to a like arrangement; how long Madrid will be exempted the operation of the system, will depend upon the pleasure of France; for Spain surrendered all claims of respect for her magnanimous ally when she surrendered the power to enforce it.
The Bay of Tunis has demanded from the American Government, as a proof of its friendship, a frieze of 36 guns, and funds for articles of similar consideration.
June 29.—The occupation of Hanover is said to have produced a great sensation at the Court of Vienna, which has sent Couriers to Berlin and Peterburg, and has presented a note upon the subject to the French Government.
Peterburg, May 28.—The news of the departure of Lord Whitworth from Paris has excited a great sensation amongst the Merchants of this City. An absolute stagnation has resulted from it at Exchange.
Paris, June 24.—The First Consul let out yesterday for the Departments of the North. He will reach Amiens on Saturday evening.—Meneur.
June 25.—The Mayor of Dunkirk has caused to be repaired, ornamented, and in finished, the most beautiful edifice in that town, for the reception of the Chief Consul. In case Bonaparte should be desirous to inspect the state of that port and to examine it in person as far as the mouth, a barge manned with thirty six rowers, all dressed in white, has been prepared for him.

Thomas Clark, Respectfully informs the public that he has just received from Richard Lee & Co's Patent & Family Medicine Store, New York, a fresh supply of the following VALUABLE MEDICINES, which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail store.
Hamilton's Essence & Extract of Mustard: A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c. This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills and thus excellently adapted both for external & internal use.—The Pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous & morbid humours; they are highly cordial to the stomach; create appetite, & digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago and Palsy—and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, remove the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head aches, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp feet. Some may be surprised that this medicine should be preferred with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a slowness in the circulation of the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels. From Dr. Weatherburn. Wythe County, (Virginia.) Gentlemen—I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence or Extract of Mustard , which I believe has perfectly removed a Chronic Rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatia, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful, you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c. P. WEATHERBURN.
JONAS HOOVER, rope-maker, South Second-street, between Mary and Christian-streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely—that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely affected with violent Rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a fever cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard , they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength. JOHN HOOVER. Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Pengally, one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia co.
"Announce of Prevention is worth a pound of Cure." For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills. 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 secretion—to re-stimulate and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, 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—Rickets at the stomach and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.—They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preferred for use by every seaman.
Hahn's true and genuine German Corn Plaster. An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them, root and branch, without giving pain.
The genuine Persian Lotion, So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face & skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring-worms, sun-burns, prickly heat, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering them delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, & an handsome one more so.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Hahn's genuine Eye-Water, A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching and film on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthen a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-Ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
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 ingredients whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.
