PHILANTHROPIST. No. 1.
The Latin and Greek languages are subjects of universal importance. If they are of real service, in the education of youth, let us understand their value; if they are useless, we ought to supply their place with more valuable knowledge. As a considerable part of the most valuable time of youth, is often spent on the dead languages, a candid discussion of the subject cannot be deemed unimportant.
All that can be said, in favor of the Latin and Greek languages, may be included under two heads. First. They must help to understand our language. Secondly. There must be sufficient knowledge obtained by our youth from ancient authors, to compensate for the time and money spent in the study of them.
The English say that Latin and Greek are necessary to understand the origin and force of words in their own language. This argument will prove too much, and totally destroy itself. Our language has its origin and is derived from several languages besides Latin and Greek; and if it is necessary to study one of them, there is the same reason for studying all. According to Dr. Johnson, the principal original words in the English language are derived from the following sources:—From the Latin language 6732 words—French 4812—Saxon 1665—Greek 1148—Dutch 691—other languages 736. If we cannot understand English, without knowing all the originals of which it is composed, we must first learn Latin. The next in importance is French. After this we must dive into the old Saxon language. We must next labor through the Greek, Dutch, German, Italian, Welch, Spanish, &c. &c. But it is a well known fact that no person is able to learn all these languages, and it is equally well known that our best writers are acquainted only with Latin and Greek. If then our first orators have learned only so small a part of the originals, and if to understand English it is necessary to know them all, I would ask how have they obtained elegance and accuracy? How have they obtained the whole by knowing only a part? There cannot be a plainer consequence than this; that we do understand English and can write it, without knowing any of the languages from which it is derived.
We ought carefully to distinguish between words and ideas. Words are mere arbitrary marks which represent ideas, but have no connection with the ideas themselves. Hence different nations make use of words totally different to express the same ideas. When custom, which is the foundation and life of every language, has established a particular word, to represent a particular idea, it is of no consequence to know where that word came from or what it once signified. We have only to attend to the force and application of words in our own time.
But words are continually changing their meaning. As science and the human mind advance, new discoveries and improvements take place, and it is necessary to have new words to express these new ideas. Our language now, is extremely different from what it was two or three centuries ago. Whoever should attempt to peruse some of our old English authors, would find nearly as much difficulty as in reading a foreign language. If such a change has taken place, in so short a time, have we any reason to conclude that we use words now in the same sense as they were used in the original languages from whence they are derived; and if we do not, of what use is it to learn those languages?
When the scholar, who is master of Latin and Greek, applies to English authors he is continually involved in difficulties. He finds about one third of our language derived from Latin, but the words are not used in the sense to which he has been accustomed. Where then is he to correct himself? What standard is he to follow? The answer is plain—He must apply to the best English writers and dictionaries. This is the only expedient. He here finds our most approved customs; and when he follows these, he can write that part of our language which is derived from French, German, Saxon, &c. with the same ease and accuracy, as that which is derived from Latin and Greek. If we learn philosophy, we must study philosophy, if we learn the French language we must study the French, and if we learn English we must study that language, and that only.

AN ACT
To amend an Act intitled "An act to lay and collect a direct tax within the United States."
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the collectors in each district shall prepare and transmit to their respective supervisors, correct lists of all lands within their respective collection districts, which by the act passed the fourteenth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, intitled "An act to lay and collect a direct tax within the United States," they now are or hereafter shall be authorised to advertise for sale, specifying therein, the persons in whose names the assessments were originally made, and the sums due thereon respectively; of which lists it shall be the duty of the supervisor, in all cases to cause correct transcripts to be made out, and to cause to be inserted for five weeks successively, in one or more newspapers published within his district, one of which shall be the gazette in which are published by authority, the laws of the state within whose limits the said district may be comprized, if there be any such gazette, a notification, that such transcripts are lodged at his office, and are open to the free inspection of all parties concerned; and also notifying, that the tax due upon the said lands may be paid to the collector within whose division the aforesaid lands are contained, or to the supervisor of the district, at any time within the space of six months from the date of such notification, and the time when, and places where sales will be made of all lands upon which any part of the direct tax shall remain due after the expiration of the time aforesaid.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That in case of failure on the part of the owner or owners of the aforesaid lands to pay within the aforesaid time, the full amount of tax due thereon, the collectors under the directions, and with the approbation of their respective supervisors, shall immediately proceed to sell at public sale, at the times and places mentioned in the advertisement of the supervisor, so much of the lands aforesaid as may be sufficient to satisfy the same, together with all the costs and charges of preparing lists, advertising and notifying as aforesaid, and of sales.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the aforesaid tax, including all costs and charges as aforesaid, shall be and remain a lien upon all lands, and other real estate on which the same has been assessed, until the tax due upon the same, including all costs and charges, shall have been collected, or until a sale shall have been effected, according to the provision of this act, or of the act to which this is a supplement.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That in all cases wherein any tract of land may have been assessed in one assessment, which, at the time when such assessment was made, was actually divided into two or more distinct parcels, each parcel having one or more distinct proprietor or proprietors, it shall be, the duty of the collector, to receive in manner aforesaid, from any proprietor or proprietors thus situated, his or their proportion of the tax due upon such tract; and thereupon, the land of the proprietor, or proprietors, upon which the tax shall have been thus paid, shall be forever discharged from any part of the tax due under the original assessment.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That in any case in which it may have happened that lands actually belonging to one person, may have been, or hereafter shall be assessed in the name of another, and no sale of the same shall yet have been made, the same proceedings shall be had for the sale of the aforesaid lands, in order to raise the tax assessed in relation to the same, as is provided by the eleventh section of the act to which this is a supplement, in the case of lands assessed, the owner whereof is unknown;
and such sale shall transfer and pass to the purchaser, a good and effectual title.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the right of redemption reserved to the owners of lands and tenements sold under this act, or the act to which this is a supplement, shall, in no wise, be affected or impaired: Provided always, that the owners of lands, which shall thus be sold after the passing of this act, in order to avail themselves of that right, shall make payment or tender of payment, within two years from the time of sale, for the use of the purchaser, his heirs or assigns, of the amount of the said tax, costs and charges, with interest for the same, at the rate of twenty-five per cent. per annum.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the secretary of the treasury shall be and hereby is authorised and empowered, under the direction of the president of the United States, to augment the compensation fixed by law, for the commissioner, or for the principal and assistant assessors, or either of them, in any division where it shall be found necessary for carrying into effect the act intitled, "An Act to provide for the valuation of lands and dwelling-houses, and the enumeration of slaves within the United States," so however, as that the commissioner shall in no case receive more than five dollars per day, nor the principal assistant assessor in any case receive more than three dollars per day, which additional compensation shall be subject to the same rules of settlement as are established by the act last aforesaid.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
England.
LONDON, February 9.
THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC.
The consultations at Lyons have ended in the self promotion of Buonaparte to the Presidency of the Italian Republic, substituted for the name of the Cisalpina. This most extraordinary measure has been avowedly taken, because no person was to be found, in this new Republic, of sufficient talents and reputation to undertake the trust! Thus adding insult to injury. The placing the French Consul at the head of the Italian Republic, is not a more complete, but a more flagrant annexation of all Italy, to the gigantic Republic of France. The Italians were before cozened of their liberty, their independence, and their property, by the arts of a pretended friend and protector: they are now plundered of them by the daring impudence of a noon-day robber. The thing is the same, but the manner is different, and the manner is a great deal in the perpetration of injustice, as in the conferring a benefit.
The new plan of a constitution given to the Italians, like that of the French, is very complex. With Colleges no less than three, Councils of State, Councils of Censors, Councils of Legislators, a Censorate, if we may so call it, that is a Council of Censors, and what not? A Government of men who have money without wit; men of wit who have no money, & men who have neither the one nor the other. Good Heavens! how are we delighted with the new appellations of Posidenti, and Dotti, and Commercianti, that is in plain English, men of land, men of learning, men of trade! All honorable men! And the Colleges too! What real and virtual representation; what a happy amalgamation of riches, learning, commerce & religion—a grand harmonious dance of all the heathen mythology typified and illustrated under appropriate peculiar images. Every property and personage of Heaven, Earth and Sea, finds a suitable organ and representative in this Italian Legislative Masquerade—this political carnival.
The Roman Catholic worship is declared the established Religion of the Italian Republic.—This measure is essentially necessary to the consolidation of the new order of things. The executive power is in the hands of a President, Vice-President, a Consulta of state, legislative council and ministers. The powers of the President are very extensive. He has the initiative of all the laws, of all negotiation, the appointment of ministers, and of the Vice-President. He remains in office ten years, and is indefinitely re-eligible. His salary is 500,000 livres; the Vice-President's 100,000.
The name of the Italian Republic must naturally excite jealousy. It is presumption for a portion to assume the title of the whole; and it must necessarily give umbrage to the kings of Naples and Etruria, and even to the Pope. But their hopes or their fears, their wrongs or their rights, all they lie at the mercy, so they serve but for the sport of the Corsican confidant. This new claim of Buonaparte to the sovereignty of the greater part of Italy, is perhaps but one step to the consolidation of the whole: and there are not wanting those who speculate upon Buonaparte's preparing himself a safe place of retreat, in the event of any change in the Government of France: and this opinion they found upon the difficulty of holding in his hand the reins of such a mighty power as France now possesses.
Indeed, if Italy could be rendered totally independent of France, we know not what could be a greater blessing to its inhabitants, or to the world, than its consolidation into one powerful empire. The misfortunes of that beautiful and interesting country have ever been attributable to its division into small states and independent cities, leagued in no common confederacy, and incapable of any defence; creating perpetual wars, inextinguishable resentments, and complicated intrigues. These are not times when the petty interests of petty princes have much weight; nor do we see why the greater potentates of Europe should interest themselves in their fate whose power is but a mockery of independence, and whose titles renders sceptres ridiculous.
Amidst all the horror, violence and injustice, of a revolutionary period, there is this advantage to be derived, that ancient claims, and deep rooted prejudices, militating against the general good, are overbalanced and subdued; it is possible, that by the concentration of its power, Italy may again be restored to its natural dignity; for it will with that concentration, ultimately be too powerful to submit to the yoke of France.
It would perhaps have been the felicity of Germany, if the shock it has sustained had dissolved its Constitution, and united its force.

NEW-YORK, March 24.
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in New-Orleans, to another in this city, dated February 25th.—Received by the Augusta. "By a proclamation this day, the port is to be shut immediately on receiving official accounts of the peace from Spain. 44 American vessels are now in this port.
Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, March 31.
EXTRACT of a letter from a gentleman in Baltimore, to his friend in Philadelphia. "With much satisfaction, I am enabled to inform you of news of the most pleasing nature. Advices from St. Domingo, of the 4th of March, state, that the fortified camp of Toussaint had been carried, after a most desperate and sanguinary assault. It was defended by 36 pieces of cannon, and naturally strong. It was considered impregnable; but nothing could withstand the ardor and intrepidity of the heroes of Italy. Thrice they advanced against this well defended entrenchment; and thrice were they repulsed. Animated, however, by their former hard earned laurels, and headed by Gen. Le Clerc, victory dawned upon their efforts; and they planted their standards amidst the heaps of slaughtered negroes. The victory, though dearly bought is of much importance, as the terrified negroes have fled in every direction; nor will the influence of Toussaint have any effect in rallying them again, to the hazard of destruction. The war may be considered as really finished, though nominally in existence."
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.
Extract of a letter from Havanna, to a respectable merchant of this city, dated March 8.
"Before the sailing of your vessel, I shall inform you of the closure of this port to Americans. A ship from Charleston, loaded with flour and rice, was ordered out, and failed the 7th inst. Several vessels came up to the mouth of the harbour to come in, but in vain—they were not allowed to come to an anchor, therefore I believe it is certain our trade with this place is over."
Arrived at Philadelphia on Tuesday last, the French frigate Necessity, commanded by captain Kergaron, in 16 days from Cape-Francois. We are under state upon what object this vessel has been dispatched to the United States.

The general impression is, she is destined to procure supplies of provisions for the forces at St. Domingo.
The Necessity brings the latest accounts from the Cape. No important military occurrences had taken place.
Gantheume with the fleet from Toulon, arrived at St. Domingo, when he landed his troops and having staid there only eight days failed again, supposed for France.
General Leclerc, with a division of the French army, has penetrated from the Cape through the mountains, as far as Port Republican, where his head-quarters are now reported to be established.
Rigaud had failed for Aux-Cayes, where he hopes to raise a considerable number of his old friends, and attack the rebels in the south.
The black general Maurepas, who commanded at Port-de-paix, had surrendered himself to the French, together with all his army, amounting to nearly five thousand men.
Lexington, April 16.
A gentleman who arrived in town on Monday last from Natchez, which he left the 12th of March, informs, that Flour was from four to five dollars per barrel, and Tobacco about the same price per hundred. He also states that sixteen boats were lost between the mouth of Ohio and New Orleans previous to his leaving Natchez.
It is said that during the late frescoes, five boats were lost on Licking river.
OF LOUISIANA.
The cession of this country to France has, of late, been much talked of; and has excited, in a great degree, the attention of the citizens of the western country. This was natural. It arose from our commercial intercourse with Louisiana, and not from a desire in the western people to withdraw themselves from the government of the Union, and unite themselves to that of the French republic, as has been slanderously asserted by several federal prints to the eastward. No, the western people are warmly attached to the constitution of the United States, and to its present republican administration; and their plain republican manners will always present a formidable barrier against the wild projects of a luxurious and intriguing aristocracy. This is the true reason of the libelous assertion. The Ohio and Mississippi rivers, affording the only vent for the numerous products of our soil, any thing concerning what would affect what is here called, "the Orleans trade," did excite, and must continue to excite our attention. With a conviction of this truth, we make the following extracts from the Aurora.
That paper of the 22d ult. shews that the project of settling Louisiana had been contemplated by the government of France more than a century ago; that the country took its name from that of their monarch [Louis]; that under the famous Mississippi scheme, projected by Law, and patronised by the French monarch, 12,000 persons of both sexes were sent thither, and, through the perfidious conduct of the court were afterwards abandoned. Having so early a claim to the country, the colonization of it, still continued to be a favourite object with France.
But another favorite object was, the colonization of Egypt, to make up for the loss of her colonies in Asia, and to provide resources for a part of the military, on the cessation of the war.
"The question of choice (says the Aurora) between Egypt and Louisiana had not been determined when the revolution of the 4th of September 1797, broke up the directory and sent Pichegrue, Willot, &c. and many others who had been in favour of the Louisiana colony, to Cayenne. The negotiations then pending at Lisle, and which terminated on the 16th of that month, had some effect in ultimately deciding the question. Serious preparations had been made for a military expedition. Fleets had been actually equipped, and arms and stores suitable for that moist climate. How the destination of these fleets came to be changed, has not yet been precisely ascertained, but it has been attributed to the Macedonian argument, (gold.) The destination had not been changed on the 5th of November; 1797, when Buonaparte was appointed to the command of the army of England. The difference which took place between Barras and others of the directory in the early part of 1798, and the discovery of the revolutionary conspiracy in Ireland, put an end to all the designs against that country, and those who had been in favour of the Egyptian conquest, happening to be the most influential, the expedition, which was resolved upon, and Buonaparte set out for Toulon, in May 1798, and failed on the 19th of that month. And thus was the project of colonizing Louisiana, for that time set aside by accidental occurrences.
"Among the reasons repeatedly urged in this paper for wishing success to the French expedition in Egypt, was because it prevented any interference, or colour of interference with our policy; as we were persuaded that though the project of colonizing Louisiana, out of Egypt, is more than a century old, if it had been attempted during the
year 1798, the enemies of our liberties would have urged it as an act conceived by the republicans, and executed with a view to overthrow the federal government.
"The failure of the French in Egypt, did not lessen the exigency of the policy of their provision for colonization. Indeed, the nature of the present government of France, renders that object infinitely more necessary, and more on account of the nature and operation of that power, which the ruler of that nation has taken upon him to exercise.
"These considerations were not matters of indifference to the present administration nor to its members, before the people called them into power. Among the first acts of the present administration, were the arrangements to guard against the chance of those evils, which might, in a secondary degree, arise even from prejudices. The new minister sent to Spain by our government was fully instructed on this point, and although Mr. Bayard, in a most base and scandalous manner dared to traduce that gentleman on the floor of congress, while Mr. C. Pinckney was absent, that gentleman has fulfilled his instructions and effected an object, which, while it gives new fecundity to the territory, and enlarges the trade of the union, will, when it is developed, shew to the people of America the justice of the choice they have made of public men, and the foresight, intelligence and ability with which one of the most important negotiations that has taken place since we had a national existence, has been conducted.
"We will not suppose that the federal papers know and conceal the facts—we do not possess a knowledge of the details, but these facts we know. That the consular government had, upon the failure of the Egyptian colony, resolved to adopt that of Louisiana. We are informed that the plan had been carried so far as the appointment of a governor, who received the pay as such for six months, and that governor was general Collot, who was formerly governor of Guadalupe; that a prefect was appointed, and that Adet, formerly ambassador here, was that prefect.
"We know more, that Mr. Livingston was not 48 hours at Paris, when agreeably to his instructions he took up this subject, and that the issue has been the abandonment of the design by the French government. General Collot and citizen Adet, have ceased to receive their salaries, and the Spanish government has acted with a liberality on the occasion towards the United States, and in her negotiations with France on this subject, that entitles that government to our respect and attachment.
"As we have not learned that this subject has been adjusted in its lateral arrangements, we do not think ourselves at liberty to offer surmises on the specific objects to which it relates, as new points arising may alter some of the inferior dispositions. We have thought it proper to be thus far diffusive on this occasion, to shew that the anti-republican prints, are as destitute of information as formerly—and that our present executive had, in the first hours of its political career, entered upon a course of measures, the operation and scope of which, when fully developed, will be found glorious to them, and happy for our country." [FARM. REG.]
At a stated meeting of the Philadelphia Medical Society, held on Saturday 20th of February, 1802, it was resolved, that a premium of one hundred dollars, or a gold medal of that value, be offered for the best natural and medical history of any one of the United States of America.
The candidate is requested particularly to attend to the nature of the soil commonly prevalent in any country he may describe, to the effects produced by clearing the land in the climate, and the consequent influence of these cases on diseases; to the state of longevity in the inhabitants; to the flowering of certain herbs and trees as connected with agricultural operations; and lastly to the mineral and saline productions of the earth. He will be much aided in his inquiries by attending to the hints and subjects of observation contained in "Count Berchtold's essay to direct and extend the enquiries of Patriotic travellers," and in "Dr Lettson's Naturalist's and Traveller's companion."
To each dissertation a motto must be prefixed, and the same motto must be put on the back of a sealed letter containing the name of the author. All dissertations except that to which the prize shall be adjudged, will be returned to any person that may be directed, together with the letter which contains the author's name, unopened. The dissertations must be delivered free of expence to the president, on or before the last Saturday in Feb. 1804.

INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS.
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 had 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 C. 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 legings 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                      Consumptions, Indigestion.                              Lowness of spirits, Melancholy,                              Loss of appetite, Relaxations,                              Impurities of the blood, Involuntary emissions,              Hysterical affections, Obstinate gleets,                      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 stimulus; relaxes 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 rheumatisms, gouty palsey, 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 laboured 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.

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 - low 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, without 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 a 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.

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL.
PHILADELPHIA, March 31.
Extract of a letter from Cape-Francois, dated 4th March, 1802.
"We have been badly accommodated, here until the houses were rebuilt, several of which have already been erected. The army of the general in chief, Le Clerc, has been out these fifteen days; he probably is at Port-au-Prince by this time. The following is the actual state of the colony, as far as I can learn: - The Cape, Port-de-Paix, Gonaives, St. Marks, and Larcabave, burnt; Fort Dauphin and Port-au-Prince, conquered without accident; the Mole, Aux-Cayes, Jeremy, Jacquetmel, and Petit-Guave, declared for the French and in their possession. Christophe, Toussaint, and Dessalines, have been completely beaten, and their heads are proscribed. The latter after having massacred all the whites at Leogane, wanted to capitulate; but it has been refused to treat with him. Toussaint it is said, has caused all the whites at Gonaives, and even Americans to be killed. Maurepas, after burning Port-de-Paix, surrendered himself, and has given up all the whites he has bro't with him. Christophe, in coming out of the Cape, drove before him all the inhabitants he could collect, several of whom have returned; but, it is presumed, that one third part of the town is still absent: some have been massacred, and others have
been burnt in a church. Paul Louverture, Toussaint's brother, has given up Sanjo-Domingo, and Clairvaux has given up St. Jago. The whole of the Spanish part is for us. It is the general division, Desfournaux who has given to good a drubbing to Toussaint at the Coupe-a-Pintarde."
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Effex frigate, to his friend in this city, dated Malaga Bay, Feb. 6 1802.
"It has been near three months since we have been off this station blockading the admiral of Tripoli's ship, of 26 guns. The President is at Toulon repairing damages. The pilot run her ashore and injured her very much. The Philadelphia is stationed off Tripoli. The frigate Boston has arrived from France and proceeded up to join the commodore. I expect we shall return to America on the commodore's joining us."
"The Tripolitans have purchased a frigate mounting 32 guns and 700 men. She is at Smyrna. I am sorry to inform that there has been an America ship captured by the robbers of the seas, the Tripolitans."
"We live in hopes of falling in with the frigate of 32 guns and 700 men. If we should be so fortunate, the Effex will shew her Yankee play."
Extract from a letter, dated Port-Republican, Feb. 27, 1802, to a respectable mercantile house in Wilmington, Del.
"The French, after taking possession of St. Marc, and the plain back of it, which were evacuated by the negroes, found a number of the whites, who were murdered; and 7 whose hands were tied, and fire set to their feet, but so lately done, that they were still alive! The officers knew not what had become of the people belonging to the American vessels; but this day a merchant of St. Marc, who made his escape, arrived here, who informs, that he left the inhabitants of that place, and all the Americans, at a small fort 13 miles from St. Marc. Yesterday a large package of Toussaint's papers were found: among them was a copy of instructions to the commanders of the respective districts, to destroy, on the 1st of March, every person within their limits. Likewise a letter addressed to Toussaint, from the government of England, by which it appears, that the English have been the prompters, behind the scene, to the inhuman massacres and destruction which have taken place! There has also been found a contract for the supply of 4,000,000 livres worth of powder from the United States."
POSTSCRIPT.
Lexington, April 16.
A letter from the honorable John Breckinridge, of the 2d inst, says "It is with satisfaction I now inclose you the act to repeal the internal tax laws, as it has passed both Houses. - Although it has not yet received the signature of the President (having only passed to day) yet there cannot be a doubt of that event."
In the house of representatives of the United States, on the 31st March, a bill was ordered to be brought in, pursuant to fundry resolutions which had been adopted, for admitting the North Western Territory as a state, into the Union.
By London accounts it appears that there have been dreadful storms at Sheffield, Chester and Liverpool, about the 20th January. "Every where (says a letter from Sheffield) are seen houses unroofed, chimneys blown down, windows wrenched from their situations, many old cottages totally demolished, trees torn up by the roots, and hay stacks scattered about. In fact, this place wears the appearance of a town closely besieged."
From Chester they say the storm "has done considerable damage, scarcely a house having escaped its dreadful ravages. A number of windows have been blown in, some houses have been entirely unroofed; the vane on the top of St. John's and Bride's churches are bent like bows, and rendered useless; and the streets are strewn with slates, bricks, &c. which render them very dangerous to passengers."
The accounts from Liverpool are, that "many houses are blown down and demolished; innumerable others have had their chimneys thrown down in every part of the town. Many lives are lost in the ruins; the havoc made in the river Mersey, surpasses all description; several vessels this day, at tide time, foundered in the flight of the inhabitants and spectators on shore, and in some instances every attempt to save the perishing sailors proved abortive."
"The river and along the Cheshire shore, presents a melancholy scene indeed: - dead bodies thrown up - pieces of wreck floating here and there! - Horror has been depicted in every countenance - each person afraid either to go out in the street, for fear of being killed by the falling of bricks, slates, ridgings, &c. and equally apprehensive of his life by constant expectation of his house falling down on him."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
From the Lady's Monitor.
SUN SET.
A down the tracks of lucid day, The glowing Sun pursues his way; And pours a variant flood of light, From yellow morn, to dusky night.
Rapid he wheels the golden car, Which mid day splendors darted far, From eastern worlds to western clime, And sinks in majesty sublime.
Behold him cast the side-long ray, That backward rolls the tide of day; And lights the east with purer rays, Than opening morn's descending blaze.
Down the tall mound retreating flow, Loth, very loth, he seems to go; Nor eye can mark the les'ning fire, That quite reluctant quits the spire.
Next from some window's shining pane, He glides towards the humbler plain; And still retreating, steals away; Nor leaves on earth, a spark of day.
ANECDOTE.
An eminent lawyer went into the shop of a gentleman in Boston, who was in partnership with his brother-in-law, and enquired for some waistcoats. A number of elegant patterns were thrown on the counter, and, after looking at them for a moment, the lawyer pleasantly observed, he should like to take one of them, if he would take his pay in LAW. "You may take one, if you please," replied the gentleman, "and pay my brother-in-LAW."

For the information of those who wish to make INSURANCE.
APPLICATION for insurance must be accompanied with a certificate, specifying the length and width of the vessel or boat, the cable, stern-post, number of oars, pump and canoe or skiff, the number of hands, &c. which ought to be given by persons who are judges, and who are disinterested reputable men.
A bill of lading signed by the captain, or a manifest signed by the inspector, which shall specify the whole of the cargo on board, or to be put on board—it must also state where the boat or vessel lies—where she will take in her cargo—when she will take her departure; or if she has failed, the time when, and the port to which she is bound; and if any information has been received from her since she failed, it must be communicated. The insurance does not commence until the vessel is under way, on her intended voyage and the premium paid.
In all cases of loss, if practicable, a survey must be made by disinterested men, who are to state in writing, what in their opinion is necessary to be done, for the interest of the parties concerned; as also a protest to be entered by the captain on oath, in which the hands must join, stating particularly the loss, where and how it happened, and what cargo was then on board.
In case a boat or vessel be lost, it is the duty of the captain and hands, to use all possible means to recover the whole or as much as possible, of the cargo, for which labor and expence, the insurers will pay their proportionable part.
No boat which is insured, must attempt to pass the Falls of the Ohio, without taking a pilot on board.
Any shipper, who intends to tarry at any port or place on the voyage, for the benefit of trading, or other purposes, must have an article to that effect, inserted in the policy of insurance.
