VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACLEAN & POYER , will in future be sold by Dr. SAMUEL BROWN only, in Lexington, Messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from Lee & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, fore Throats and approaching Consumption. — Price 1 Dollar. 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.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past, cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons, of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
The above valuable Medicine is sold in boxes containing forty Lozenges, at one Dollar per box.
DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE & EXTRACT OF MUS-TARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White Swellings, Chilblains, sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
THIS valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove stinging pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head aches, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp in the feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a slowness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.
Price, 1 Dollar.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.

They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head aches—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.—1 Dollar.
OBSERVE, that independent of the above Medicines, being celebrated for their efficacy throughout the United States—they are actually cheaper in general and sold at lower prices, than most
individuals must pay for the drugs of which they are composed, purchased at retail prices—being prepared on a large scale and in immense quantities, and sold here, without any advance on the Baltimore prices.
OBSERVATIONS.
Respecting LOUISIANA and the WESTERN COUNTRIES adjoining the MISSISSIPPI. —Made during a visit to the City of New Orleans, in the year 1801.
By JOHN PINTARD, Esq.
THE Mississippi, pronounced by the natives Messchasiipi , after a course of 3000 miles, and receiving the tributary streams of the immense rivers Missouri, Cumberland, Tennessee, Ohio, and many others; all which, far surpass, in extent and magnitude, every river that empties into the Atlantic, the St. Laurence excepted, disemboques through several channels into the Gulf of Mexico, in N. lat. 29. 9. and 89. 10. W. long. from Greenwich.
The approach to this river, by sea, is known by an instant change in the colour of the water, from black or dark sea-green to whitish, next clayey, and lastly a very muddy, frothy water, with soundings from 70 to 50 fathoms at about ten leagues from the coast, gradually diminishing to four fathoms at the distance of three leagues, when the water becomes abruptly more discoloured and yellow.—Directly off the mouth of the river the water resembles dirty soap-suds; every change of colour is strongly distinguished; you pass through one to the other in an instant. The water at the mouth of the river is quite fresh. The pilots drink it, scooping it up in their hands, the usual mode of allaying thirst by all who navigate this immense river.
The entrance of the river is very difficult, there being no landmarks along the coast, which is very low, and scarcely discernible at four leagues distance.—Should a vessel fall in with the land on either side of the narrow prolongation of the continent through which the Mississippi passes into the gulf of Mexico, the will, in all probability get embayed, and be obliged to wait a change of wind several days to beat out. This circumstance very frequently happens.
The shores along the coast are lined with innumerable trees, which are wasted, and are constantly floating down the Mississippi. The appearance is not unlike a vast mast and spar yard. The trees are very large, and on reaching the mouth of the river, are driven ashore by the winds and tides; some are carried out to sea, and are to be met with at a great distance from land. These trees accumulating become a mound, which arrests the muddy sediment of the river, and in process of time, form numerous small islands, which constantly increasing and uniting, at length become part of the continent.—This new land is first covered with bull-rushes—then with bushes resembling alders, and lastly, with ash and other forest trees. The whole country bordering on the mouth of the Mississippi has been thus made; and the probability is, that all the land on both sides of the river from Iberville downwards a distance between two & three hundred miles, has originated from the alluvions and deposits of this muddy stream. It must require a considerable time ere this new land can become useful. Where the present Balise is erected, the ground was so low, that earth was brought to elevate the foundation for the Beacon, Guard and Pilot houses. The site of the old Balise, which was built in 1734, at the mouth of the river is now more than two miles above. The present Balise was constructed in 1766, by Don Antonio d'Ulloa, on a small island near the south-east entrance of the river, of which about thirty years before, there was not the least appearance. In conversation with an experienced officer in the Spanish navy a colonist of Louisiana, on the subject of this prolongation of the continent, he informed the writer of these observations, that in the summer 1800 he remarked a new island at the mouth of the river.—That not many years ago, when laying at Point La Hache, between the Balise and New Orleans, a seaman died on board his ship—they sent on shore to make a grave, but could not find sufficient firm earth to bury him. This place has since become solid land. He could also recollect when Plaquemines, where the fort now stands was all a quagmire. M. Vandreuil, formerly Governor of Louisiana, in a letter dated September 21, 1752, remarks, "There is infinite difficulty in settling towards the mouth of the river Mississippi, on account of the immense expence in banking against the inundation of the sea and land floods. I am against settling it as yet; and for waiting until the ground be more and more raised by the accretion of soil, as it hath been three feet within the space of fifteen years."
Every thing concurs to shew that this river has enlarged the continent nearly one hundred leagues. Not a single stone nor even a pebble is to be found in all this new made ground. The sea repelling that prodigious quantity of mud, leaves boughs and trunks of trees, which the Mississippi is constantly washing down; all these materials continually pushed backward and forward, collect and bind themselves in a solid mass, which thus tends to prolong this vast continent. Another striking singularity, no where else to be met with, is, that the waters of this great river, when once they overflow its banks never return within its bed again. The reason is this: the Mississippi is annually swelled by the melting of the
snows in the north, which begins in March, and continues about three months. This river lies very deep at the upper part, and does not overflow on the east side until within one hundred leagues of the mouth; that is to say on the low lands supposed to be new ground. These muddy grounds like all others which have not yet acquired their due consistence, bear a prodigious quantity of large reeds, which stop and entangle all extraneous bodies that are washed down the river. The collection of all these fragments, with the slime that fills up the intermediate spaces, raises in process of time, the banks higher than the adjacent ground so that the waters once overflowed, are prevented, by this obstacle from the possibility of returning to their natural channels, and are therefore compelled to force an outlet into the sea by other courses. The new land and islands at the mouth of the Mississippi are said to rise and fall with the swelling and abating of the waters. This story, however wants confirmation.
From the astonishing length of the Mississippi, and the vast bodies of water which flow into it, one is led to imagine that it must consequently be proportionably broad. Every traveller is much surprised to find the direct contrary. Instead of entering an open, extensive bay, the mouth of the river is very narrow and contracted; and through its whole course to New Orleans, after passing La Loure, it scarcely exceeds half a mile in breadth. Opposite the city the river takes a considerable sweep, forming a beautiful crescent, along which New Orleans is situated. At this place it may be about three quarters of a mile wide. The levee, or embankment which defends the town from the inundation of the Mississippi, is elevated about three feet above the surface of the country over which the freshest seldom or never rise. The difference between the greatest height and lowest ebb of the river is somewhere about fourteen feet perpendicular. The last two years the Mississippi had risen so very inconsiderably as to have excited much surprise, and some idle conjectures that the waters of the Missouri had found a new channel to the ocean.—This river it is which raises the former, and discolors its stream; for before its junction with the Missouri it is as clear and limpid as the Ohio. The latter although subject to great freshes, has but little effect on the Mississippi. The water of this river, notwithstanding its being exceedingly turbid, is nevertheless very palatable and wholesome. It is used entirely at New Orleans for drinking and culinary purposes, the well water being very indifferent. It is carted through the city in the same manner as the New-York tea water, and sold at the rate of a penny a bucket, or half a dollar a hoghead: deposited in large earthen jars, it becomes, after reposing, of a milky colour, and is thus used. When filtered it is as clear as crystal; to drink it in this state is a luxury not commonly enjoyed at New Orleans. This river water is quite cool, and though used at all times, and in the highest perspiration, by the boatmen and laborers, no ill consequences ensue; its salubrity is such, that the inhabitants who constantly use it are said never to be afflicted with that excruciating disorder the gravel, nor to be troubled with that loathsome infection the itch.

PARIS, June 30.
A letter from Berlin of the 15th states as follows: "We now know to a certainty what states fall to the lot of the Prussian monarch, as an indemnity for his possessions beyond the Rhine, viz. 1st the bishopric of Hildesheim, in Lower Saxony, containing about 54 square leagues, with eight cities (amongst which are Hildesheim, the population of which amounts to 12,000 souls, Peina and Alfred,) four borough towns, and 234 villages. This country though within the circle of the Hanoverian states, is contiguous to the western boundaries of the duchy of Halberstadt, belonging to the king of Prussia; the income of it is about 250,000 crowns currency."
2dly. "The bishopric of Paderborn, in Westphalia, 54 square leagues, with twenty-three cities, one borough town, and 236 villages, 60,000 souls, the income 60,000 rix dollars."
3dly. "A part of the bishopric of Munster including about one third of that bishopric, on the right bank of the Rhine, with 40,000 inhabitants."
4thly. "Eichsfeld, in Thuringia, formerly belonging to the Elector of Mentz, containing forty square leagues, four cities, 162 borough towns and villages, and 74,000 inhabitants; the income is estimated at 300,000 imperial florins."
5thly. "The city of Erfurt, with its territory of 16 leagues. Erfurt contains 24,000 inhabitants; there are 73 borough towns and villages, and about 11,677 souls."
6thly. "The imperial city of Goslar, with 6000 inhabitants."
7thly. "The imperial cities of Mulhausen and Nordhausen; the former of these cities, including its territory, 13,000, and the latter 9000 inhabitants."
"The whole of the indemnities comprises 200 square leagues, and 600,000 inhabitants; possession will be taken at the beginning of July, and the inhabitants will then take the oath of allegiance to their new sovereign."
We hear from Basle, under date of June 24, that the territory of Vaud is once more the scene of insurrection, and that nothing
but the presence of the French troops can preserve the country from being entirely laid waste; the tythes and the feudal rents continue to be the pretext of these illegal meetings. Fresh troops are, however, to be sent to that country, for the purpose of supporting the Commissary of government.
Letters from Corfu state that all nightly meetings are prohibited there, and that every wise precaution is resorted to for the purpose of ensuring peace and good order.
England.
LONDON, June 28.
Letters from the North of Germany announce positively, that the duke of Cambridge, will be immediately proclaimed sovereign of the states of Brunswick, Lunenberg, and elector of Hanover. The king of England, his father, will cede to him all his possessions in Germany. The inhabitants of the electorate of Hanover applaud this change in their government, which will establish a splendid court in the city of Hanover. It will not, however, be carried into execution until the affairs of the Germanic empire shall be entirely decided.

Extract of a letter from commodore Morris to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Gibraltar Bay, June 26, 1802.
"Yesterday Mr. Simpson, Consul from the United States to America to the Court of Morocco, arrived at Gibraltar, from Tangiers. The Emperor of Morocco has forced him from his dominions and declared war against the United States. This circumstance I have made known to the American ministers at London, Paris and Madrid, in order that they might acquaint the Americans bound to the Mediterranean therewith, recommending that they should rendezvous at Cadiz, where they should receive as frequent convoy as our squadron could afford. Should you make the above known to the merchants in America, directing them to repair to Cadiz, before they enter the Straits' mouth, I will call frequently and take them under convoy."
The following is a copy of a Circular notice given by Mr. Simpson, to the Consuls in the principal sea port towns in Europe.
CIRCULAR.
Gibraltar, 25 of June, 1802.
Sir,
I have to acquaint you that the governor of Tangiers, in consequence of orders from his imperial majesty, Mully Soliman, has compelled me to retire from that country, his majesty having declared war against the United States of America. You will be pleased by every means in your power, to make this event known to all the citizens of the United States that may be within your district, and to caution all masters of our merchant vessels to be very careful to avoid the Moors' Cruisers, especially in and near the Straits of Gibraltar, where it is highly probable they will have many small armed boats.
I am with respect, Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed)
JAMES SIMPSON.
On Saturday last the New-York was put in commission, and it is expected that in the

course of two weeks from that day she will be fully equipped for sea. When she joins the Mediterranean squadron, Commodore Morris will have under his command the Chesapeake, the Constellation, the Adams, the Boston, the New-York and the Enterprise. These, with the squadron under the Command of the Swedish admiral, will, it is conceived, be sufficient to protect our Commerce against Tripoli and Morocco.

NORFOLK, August 17.
WAR WITH THE ALGERINES.
By the Dart, arrived here on Saturday night from Gibraltar, in 42 days, we have received the following interesting information. [The Dart also brings dispatches to our government.]
"That commodore Morris, in the United States ship Chesapeake, failed on the 21st June for Tangiers, in order to have the nature of some demands made by the emperor of Morocco on our government explained; the wind being light from the westward, prevented the ship from keeping her station, the commodore was obliged to return without effecting his object. On the 24th Mr. Simpson, our consul at Tangiers, dispatched a boat to inform commodore Morris, that he was allowed 15 days to consider whether the demands would be complied with or not—but on the day following (the 25th) the consul received orders to quit the emperor's dominions in one hour, otherwise he should be held as a slave, for that the emperor considered himself at war with the United States. Immediately the consul with what small part of his furniture he could pack up in so short a time, got on board a boat, and arrived at the Rock that evening; next day war was declared in form against the United States at Tangiers. A few days after the Danish consul came over from Algiers, and informed that they were fitting out all the boats they could for the purpose of annoying our trade, and that some of them had not more than 20 men on board. The emperor's demands were, that his vessels with wheat on board, should be allowed to enter Tripoli, (now under the blockade) and that we should send a frigate to convoy the Tripolitan ship at Gibraltar, to Tripoli. Mr. Simpson informed him, that he could not grant such favors."

NEW-YORK, August 18.
The following information, received from capt. Bull, arrived this morning in 35 days from Cadiz, will serve to elucidate the story of yesterday, relative the conduct of the emperor of Morocco. Capt. Bull says—That the emperor did order Mr. Simpson, the American consul, out of his territories, and that commodore Morris, in consequence, immediately blockaded the port of Tangiers—That then the emperor countermanded the orders respecting Mr. Simpson, and desired he would return, and that six months should be allowed to make a proper representation to our government, and effect an accommodation of all differences.
Between 30 and 40 negroes from the French frigates have been removed to the Hospital at Staten-Island.

NOTICE.
THE SUBSCRIBER
HAVING united with Doctor FISHBACK, in the practice of Physic, wishes to close all the open accounts that have existed upon his books, previous to such connection. There are many unsettled, that were created years ago; it must therefore be manifest to every one, that it is necessary they should be closed.—With a view to obtain this object, he has employed Mr. JACOB E. LEHR to draw off all his accounts, to settle with every individual, or cause it to be done immediately; and he hopes that no obstructions, or delays will be offered by any one concerned. If such as may be in arrears have not the means of discharging directly their accounts, there can be no reasonable objection to their giving obligations upon interest.

We are informed that during the storm on Tuesday evening last, Mrs. M'Daniel and two children were killed by the lightning, in Bourbon county.
A Nashville paper of the 18th ult. says— "During the last two weeks, the Indians have stolen horses three different times from the inhabitants on the waters of Stone's river—in the two first instances, the horses have been recovered, but not in the last. Such depredations as these, it is not probable will be submitted to with impunity.—They are supposed to be Greeks or Cherokees."
JUDGE BASSETT, one of the late Circuit Judges, has published a protest against the late Judiciary law abolishing the Circuit Courts, established by the act of the 13th February 1801. It is a very lengthy performance.
By the London accounts it appears, that the British government has given Dr. Jenner, 12,000 pounds sterling, as a remuneration for his discovery, and introduction of the Kine Pox.
From a London paper.
The resignation of the earl of Galloway proves a fact which we have repeatedly asserted, namely, that the present ministers move only as their predecessors direct. His lordship having found himself opposed in the county of Wigtown, by the interest of Mr. Dundas, who has not a shilling or an acre of land in that county (always represented by the Stuart family,) claimed from Mr. Addington, that as he had ever supported government, the influence and patronage of the crown should not be exerted against him. This was thought reasonable by Mr. A. but after an explanation between him and Mr. D. his lordship was told, "that all favours from the crown of Scotland must be asked through Mr. Dundas," in consequence of this the earl resigned his office.—It now appears that at this interview Mr. Dundas produced to Mr. A. a list of twenty nine persons, all connected with him in blood or in close friendship, for whom he has secured seats in the next parliament, by his command of the Scotch patronage, and exacted the following stipulations, to which Mr. A. after some delay has finally agreed, without communication with any of his colleagues or with Mr. Pitt.
 1st. Mr. D. to be created Lord Melville, on Tuesday the 22d of June, or four days before the prorogation.  2d. That within six weeks after the recess of Parliament Mr. A. shall be ready to vacate for Mr. D. one of the offices held by the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Pelham, or Lord Hobart.  3d. The management of the house of lords to be settled hereafter, in the best manner for the king's service.  5th. The influence and patronage of the crown in Scotland, to remain exclusively with Mr. D. 
The new treaty between Mr. Dundas and Mr. Addington, was finally settled between them on Saturday, without the knowledge of the other ministers, or of Mr. Pitt; and yesterday morning Mr. Dundas set out alone for Walmer castle, where Mr. Pitt is likewise alone, to communicate to him this interesting event; which excludes him from any chance of continuing to guide the reins of government as he has done since he has been out of office, and leaves the new Lord Melville the real first minister.
PHILADELPHIA, August 26.
Extract of a letter from Washington, dated August 21, 1802.
SIR,
There is no information at the Navy Department (as on an enquiry I have been informed) that any of the Tripolitans are out, and there is no reason to suppose that any of them have been able to escape the vigilance of the three American and the three Swedish vessels stationed off Tripoli. The account brought to New-York from Cadiz, that the Tripolitans have taken two American vessels and one Swede, has probably proceeded from the report prevailing in Gibraltar, that on the 17th June, a pirate, off Cape Pelos, had taken a Philadelphia brig, in the presence of another American vessel; and had also on another day, plundered a Swedish vessel without taking her—and I am further inclined to consider the Cadiz account as an idle rumor, from this circumstance—that a letter from James Yard, dated Cadiz, July 9th, 1802, does not mention any thing of the kind.—So interesting an occurrence, if true, would have been known to him, and would surely have been communicated.
The New-York will be ready for sea on Saturday next. The John Adams will probably be immediately put in commission; she can be equipped in two weeks. The Constitution, at Boston, is completely prepared, I am told for immediate service; and I understand the Philadelphia will be also in the course of a few days. The President could be put to sea, it is said, in ten days from hence, if thought necessary.

VIRTUE.
From all the gay scenes that enrapture the mind, Or waken the song of delight, What cordial of woe can the bosom e're find, Whence Freedom has taken her flight?
No eye to drop pity...no arm give relief... No hope to alleviate care; No friendship to cheer the sad moments of grief, Or beam on the brow of despair.
The huge iron door and the dreary damp walls, Seem conscious of what I complain; The groans for my mis'ry, for pity loud calls... The others re-echo the strain.
Can aught give content in this lurid abys? Or wipe off the tears of distress? Yes...VIRTUE can make it a mansion of bliss... The fiends of despair dispossess.
Devotion can ease all the pangs of my breast, Yield a balm to the wounds of my woe; And make the glad heart, which ere while was distressed With transports of happiness glow.
