DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD.
A SAFE and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, white swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, pains 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 flitting 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. swollen faces, headache, indurated breasts, white swellings, &c. &c.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Sore-Throats, and approaching Consumption. To persons who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING 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 perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it. Numerous cases of important cures performed by the above medicines, may be seen at the place of sale.
"Assurance of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant Fevers, is recommended
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the South in parts of the United States, passed early in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Eden on, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, under prudent direction, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once in every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventive—and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, that use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
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 secretions—to restore 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—sickness 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 effectual in preventing, and curing disorders attendant on long voyage, and should be procured, and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS.
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers—Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops after the bark and every other medicine had proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the world's worst of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to, and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, and bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which upon trial have either been found dangerous or useless.
The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but using a very cautious medicine, and seldom taken in a sufficient quantity, it very often fails, and children and those who have weak stomachs are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLASTER.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effects of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes; never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening 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.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache.
THE DANISH LIP SALVE.
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleans and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
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 indifferences—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 layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparelleled in the cure of—nervous disorders, consumptions, townness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus (or whites) impotence, barrenness, &c. &c.
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.
The grand restorative is prepared in pills as well as in a fluid form, which assists considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any climate.
SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH.
Warranted an infallible and immediate cure at once using.—Being the most speedy, effectual, and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public; and for the satisfaction of the inquiring, the proprietor maketh oath that this ointment doth not contain a single particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women and on infants newly born.
PATENT INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC.
For the cure of VENEREAL complaints of every description: Prepared by Doctor Leroux—The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great portion of them, after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineffectual) demonstrate its efficacy in expelling the disease, however deep rooted in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury.
The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy—its operation is gentle that it is given to patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within three 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 tumours in the stomach and bowels.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
WORMS which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white 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 of speech—Starting, and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with fluty and loquid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirit—Slow fever, with 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 familiar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the "vomiting and purging of children," a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of part of our cities. It is likewise the most effectual 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.
Children generally take this med. with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams No. 30, Ba timore-street, two doors above South, City Street.
GENTLEMEN—I have a son six years of age, who for four years past has been greatly in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer—frequently afflicted with alarming convulsions in the whole of his little frame wasted fast his breath festered, an almost constant itching at 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 were 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 filix, 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. William S. Moore) in whose family they had been used with good effects, 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 twelve inches in length—a second dose brought away four more of similar size—a third
dose being administered no worms appeared. The child recovered, and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS. Messrs. Richard Lee, and Co.
An infant (aged 5 weeks) of Mr. Henry Ewbank's Taylor, Charles Street Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, which expelled several worms, the unquestioned cause of the child's disorder.
A sister of the above gentleman, aged 22 years, living at Newcastle, Delaware, after exhibiting for upwards of 12 months, every symptom of an increasing dangerous consumption, experienced a rapid recovery, by the use of this Medicine.
Mrs. Esther Bends, Wall-Street New-York, had for five years been subject to periodical fits, which at last appeared of the most alarming and dangerous nature, so much so, as to leave no doubt in the minds of her friends that they would eventually prove fatal—This lady was cured Eight Months ago by Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, and has not had the least return of her malady since.
GOWLAND'S LOTION, CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, &c.
PROPOSALS for printing by subscription, a Gazetteer of the Eastern Continent, Embracing Europe, Asia and Africa, with the adjacent Islands—Compiled by JEDIDIAH MORSE, B. D. author of the American Universal Geography, American Gazetteer, &c. &c.—and ELIJAH PARISH, A. M. Minister of the Gospel, Byfield Parish, Newbury.
THIS work contains a more complete and accurate list and description of the greater and smaller divisions of this portion of the globe, than is to be found in any other of the kind. The modern and most popular Gazetteers have been minutely examined, and more than hundred volumes of the latest and most approved voyage, travels, and other geographical books have been carefully read and improved in the compilation of this work. More than a thousand articles will be found in this volume, which are new, or materially corrected and enlarged.
It has been an object with the compilers in addition to the usual topographical description of places, to delineate the character of the inhabitants, their forms of government, customs, manners and religions, and to admit the reader to an intimate acquaintance with man, in the several stages of improvement from the savage to the final state, as the nature and limits of the work would admit. They have constantly aimed to compress every article into as small a compass as, in the opinion, would consist with perspicuity and utility. Great care has been taken to give full and correct information concerning those places mentioned in the scripture history, particularly those which are the subject of prophecy; and the surprising exactness with which the prophecies concerning them have been fulfilled, has been carefully noticed. This part of the work, the compiler, if not themselves, will be peculiarly interesting and useful to the serious christian reader.
This work is intended as a first volume, the American Gazetteer, published by one of the compilers in 1797, being the first. Together, these volumes will contain a complete Gazetteer of the whole World. Those who already possess the first, by purchasing the second now offered to be public, will be furnished with a Universal Gazetteer, more perfect and cheaper for the size, the compilers believe, than any which has hitherto been published.
The work will be illustrated with eighteen or nineteen maps of the different portions of the eastern continent, engraved from the latest and best which have been published in Europe.
CONDITIONS.
1. The work will contain between 600 and 700 pages, closely and neatly printed on fine paper, and a new type imported for the purpose, and be handsomely bound and lettered, or delivered in boards, at the option of the subscribers.
2. The price to subscribers, bound and lettered, will be two dollars and 75 cents; in boards, two dollars and 50 cents. To non-subscribers the price will be advanced.
3. The work is now completed in manuscript, and will be put to press as soon as such patronage is secured, as will justify the compilers in incurring the heavy expense of the publication.
4. The names of the patrons of the work will be annexed to the volume.
5. Those persons who have not the American Gazetteer may have both volumes, bound and lettered for five dollars.
Those persons who wish to become subscribers for the above Gazetteer, will please to leave the names at the Bookstore of ELEZER A. JENKS, in Portland.

Miscellany.
FROM THE MERCURY OF EUROPE.
The songs to which the English are accustomed have generally a gay, a passionate, or a witty tendency. In the German language, it is not uncommon to find them written in a more sober and moral strain. Of this sort we give the reader one, composed by Holtz, and translated by Dr. Beresford, the author of the German Erato, &c.]
(Ueb' immer Treu und Redlichkeit.)
Let truth and spotless Faith be thine, Till life's vain pageants close; And still at virtue's sacred shrine, Be breath'd thy ardent vows.
SENTIMENT.—It is better to do some good than to project a great deal. A little practical virtue is of more use to society than the most sublime theory, or the best principles of government re-assapplied.
When we see men, who contribute nothing to the support of our government, but what goes through the medium of the gallon measure, complaining of the direct tax, extravagant and useless expenditures, &c. When we see fugitives from justice, and earless patriots solicitous for the preservation of our liberties, when we see scoffers hiccupping their concern, for the purity of our religion, we think of the following story:—
A porter trudging through the streets of London, stopped to ease his shoulder, and wipe his brow. "Aha," exclaims he, "if the French succeed, they will bind heavy burdens upon us, too heavy to be borne." "True," cries a debtor, thrusting his head through the grates of a jail, "and what would become of our liberties and property?" "And where, d—n my bl—d," cries a sailor, "would be our religion?"
ROME, according to a census lately taken, contains 153,004 inhabitants. The ecclesiastics &c. which, eight years since, numbered 10,000, are now reduced to 4253. At the birth of our Savior, the number of inhabitants of Rome, was 4,233,000.
The Archduke Charles is to marry Mademoiselle Beauharnais, daughter of Madame Bonaparte. She is one of the most amiable, virtuous young women in France; many proposals of marriage have been made to her, by young men attached to the government of the day, but she has always declared she would never marry any man, nor the son of any man, concerned directly or indirectly, with the revolution of France. For these two years she has employed herself in the institution of female schools of industry, and superintending the management of them. (London Paper.)
Foreign News.
Russian State Paper.
Declaration, addressed to Sir Hyde Parker, Admiral of the British Baltic Fleet.
BY the decease of his Majesty the Emperor PAUL I. of glorious memory, the sceptre of the Russian empire has descended by the right of birth into the hands of his Imperial Majesty Alexander. One of the first events under the government of this monarch has been, that he has accepted the offer which the British Court had made to his illustrious predecessor, to terminate the disputes which threatened the speedy breaking out of a war in the north of Europe, by an amicable convention. Faithful to the engagements which he has entered into with the Courts of Stockholm, Berlin, and Copenhagen, his Imperial Majesty has signified to them his resolution, not to act but in conjunction with his allies, in whatever may concern the interest of the neutral powers. His Imperial Majesty could not have expected, that the British court would have undertaken a hostile attack upon Denmark, at the very time when its Envoy at Berlin was authorized a new to enter into conference with the Russian Minister residing there. The measures taken by his Imperial Majesty were only a consequence of his wish for Peace, and the welfare of mankind, and to avoid a destructive misunderstanding between the con-
tending powers. The hostilities commenced against Denmark, and the hostile fleet, would have frustrated the wish of his Imperial Majesty to maintain peace, had not this attack upon his allies been made before his proposals were made to the Court of London. But as the British fleet had failed for the Sound before his Majesty ascended the throne, he will wait the measures of the British Court, when it shall be informed of that event. The undersigned, General of Cavalry, and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, requires, therefore, in the name of his illustrious Sovereign, that the Admiral in Chief of the fleet of his Britannic Majesty shall desist from all further hostilities against the flags of the three United Powers, until his Excellency shall have received further directions from his Sovereign; otherwise the Admiral must be personally responsible for the consequences that may ensue from the prosecution of the war.
"Prepared to repel force with force, his Imperial Majesty persists in his pacific sentiments; but the justice and moderation of the Cabinet of London, must enable him to reconcile the demands of humanity with the duties which he owes to the honor of his crown and the interests of his allies."

The King of Prussia.
BREMEN, MAY 20.
There has been in circulation since yesterday, an article of news too extraordinary to be believed on light grounds.—The King of Prussia is said to have required of the Batavian Republic, 163 millions of florins, and the re-establishment of the Stadholder, for whom the money is intended as an indemnity for what has been taken from him—that the Batavian Republic has written to Bonaparte, who has returned for answer, that he took no concern in the business; and that the Republic has in consequence sent an ambassador to Berlin.
The Mail.
WASHINGTON, JULY 1.
On Friday last an address was delivered by the Secretary of War, in answer to the Talk of the Cherokee Chiefs previously made. The address of the Secretary, which was made in the name of the President, conveyed assurances to the Cherokees that all the engagements entered into by the predecessors of the President would be by him rigidly observed; it congratulated them on the advances they had made, and were still making in the arts of civilization, particularly on the introduction of the spinning wheel, and of the plough, instead of the hoe, and assured them that the President, on proper representation, would have them furnished with the instruments and instruction required to aid their progress in agriculture and manufactures.
After the delivery of the reply of the Secretary of War, the leading chief spoke at considerable length on the affairs of his nation.—His mode of delivery, the tone of his voice, and his general expression of countenance, were mild and persuasive, and his deportment and gestures were highly dignified and graceful.
THOMAS JEFFERSON,
President of the United States of America, TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
WHEREAS, The President of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, did by a commission bearing date on the 26th day of June 1797, appoint JOE WALL of Rhode Island to be their Consul for the Island of St. Bartholomews. And whereas it has become inexpedient that the said JOE WALL should any longer hold the said appointment: now know ye, that I do hereby revoke the said commission and do declare the same to be absolutely null and void from this day forward.
GIVEN under my hand and the seal of the United States of America, at the city of Washington this second day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and one, and of the Independence of the United States the twenty fifth.

COMMERCIAL.
Extract of a letter written by Rear Admiral La Croffe, Captain General of the Island of Guadalupe, and its dependencies to Citizen List, Commissary of Commercial Relations, at Philadelphia.
"Colonial produce is here at a very low price, and those of the United States at a very high value. Assure all merchants that they cannot put too much confidence in a commercial intercourse with the Island of Guadalupe—and I hope that those who shall return to the United States with rich cargoes shall give a just idea of the kindness with which we receive the Americans here. I salute you."

COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
It has been reported for some days, that the ports in the Island of Cuba have been shut by direction of the Court of Spain, against the
American trade: We have been honored by the Spanish Consul with the following extract of a letter, which he yesterday received, dated
HAVANNA, JUNE 19, 1801.
"The inhabitants of this city were a few days ago in great consternation about a packet-boat that had arrived from Spain, at Trinidad in this island, by which an order was generally expected from the Court, prohibiting the further intercourse with North America; but am glad to say that our apprehension was ill founded. The papers have already arrived here, and the court of Madrid seems to be well pleased with the behavior of our government."
From Paris—MAY 21.
"It is said, that Mr. Murray, the Ambassador from the United States to the Batavian Republic, and one of those who signed the treaty of peace between France and America, is to repair to Paris in order to remove some trifling difficulties which stand in the way of the complete and full ratification of this treaty."
"Mr. Dawson, Envoy Extraordinary of the United States, accompanied by Gen. Kosciuszko, went within these few days to visit Thomas Paine, and transmitted to him a very affectionate letter from M. Th. Jefferson, in which he invites him to return to America, and offers him for his return a national vessel."
IRELAND.
In the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain, the 27th May, Mr. O'Hara stated "That at present Ireland wore the face of peace and agricultural pursuits; disaffection was confined to a very few counties, nor could local disturbances be adduced in proof of a general spirit of revolt. With an exception of four or five counties throughout the whole kingdom, Ireland was professedly in a state of Peace."
President Jefferson's inaugural speech has been the subject of panegyric in half a dozen London papers; while in all the files of our Paris Gazettes we do not find the least notice taken of it. Perhaps there is not a spot on the globe where democracy is in deeper disrepute than in the palaces of Bonaparte.
In a London paper of the 28th May there is advertised "Letters from His Excellency General WASHINGTON to Arthur Young, Esq. containing an account of his husbandry, with a map of his farm; his opinions on various questions in agriculture, and many particulars of the rural economy of the United States."
ON TRANSATLANTIC AFFAIRS.
We have carefully reperused the European papers received on Friday evening from Liverpool. They do not contain official accounts of any events more recent than those previously detailed.
We are satisfied affairs in the North of Europe are rapidly approaching a pacific conclusion. The British Ambassador, Lord St. Helens, who had been sent to complete the negotiation begun by Lord Nelson, arrived in Denmark early in May—was cordially received—had several conferences with the Danish ministry, and on the 17th May proceeded onwards for St. Petersburg; where if we may judge from the generally received opinion of the character of Alexander I. his mission has been successful. Both parties, however, appeared determined to be prepared for war.—The Russian fleet, it was confidently stated, sailed from Revel the 3d May to join the Swedish squadron at Cronstadt; and on the 12th May Lord Nelson, with a powerful fleet, which was supplied with necessaries from Denmark, was cruising near Bornholm, an island in the Baltic off the coast of Sweden. If contrary to all appearances, Lord St. Helens has been unsuccessful, we must speedily expect accounts of sanguinary conflicts from the North.
It was confirmed that the Danes evacuated Hamburg the 23d May.
The French had taken intire possession of the kingdom of Naples; and had put the Neapolitan navy in requisition; probably to convey reinforcements to Egypt.
Egypt has become the region of interesting events.—We have not found in our papers anything more official and direct from that quarter, than has already been given. The London papers of the 28th May, mentioned, that Lord Minto, at Vienna, had received accounts, that the English had possessed themselves of a height which commanded Alexandria, and that the Grand Vizier was advancing to co-operate with General Hutchinson's army. We have also two accounts respecting the succours which have been expected from India, by that army; one mentions the arrival of 4000 troops in the Red Sea. The other, received at Philadelphia from Calcutta, states, that Gen. Baird, with 15000 native and European troops, sailed from Ceylon for Egypt the 1st February last. This last, excepting that the number of troops exaggerated, appears correct.—Taking it for granted that it is, as the distance from Ceylon to Suez is about 5000 miles, the arrival of this aid in the vicinity of Alexandria could not be expected before the middle, or latter end of April.—The Grand Vizier was expected to advance from El Arish about the same time.—If these troops, or even half their reported number, attacked Damietta, or made a diversion towards Cairo, the French would be obliged to send aid to these points, and thus render their strong holds near Alexandria too weak to resist the English all-sitting army. These works carried, the footing of the English might be considered as secure:—If, on the other hand, succours did not arrive in all April, the conquest
of Egypt by the English, we still think probable. In the situation in which the official accounts from Egypt (April 5) left the British army not to advance, was to receive from the object of the expedition.
The British government was, or appeared to be, under strong apprehensions of a French invasion.—A French engineer has been detected in taking the soundings in Oysterhaven bay, on the coast of Ireland.
A British expedition was fitting out from the Cape of Good Hope, supposed against the South American possessions in the Rio de la Plata.

AN ARRIVAL FROM FRANCE.
SINCE our last, the brig Haleson, has arrived here from Bourdeaux. Our correspondent there has sent us our files of Paris papers to the 17th May; but their most interesting contents have previously received us by other conveyances.—These papers contain many interesting regulations of the Republic; but not a line of observation thereon, nor a syllable of political speculation. The will of the Chief Consul appears to be the supreme law; and to be acquiesced in with the utmost cheerfulness. The government is well administered, and from him justice is dispensed promptly and without delay or gain-saying. Wherever he appears he excites the general respect and attention; and his retinue is as splendid as a King's. He resides principally at his palace at Malmaison; but occasionally repairs to Paris to review the troops, to visit the public institutions, and to dispense honorary rewards. Very little mention is made of the other departments of the government in the Paris papers.
Robberies, in the interior departments, continue to be numerous; but the government were taking the most efficient measures to put an end to them.

From a Philadelphia Paper, July 18.
Gentlemen Farmers, I now, disinterested (as an individual) advise you who are inclined to economy, and desire to promote the interest of yourselves and country, to execute every possible and timely means thereto. Having wool now bears the highest price, and if you will shear your largest lambs by the new moon in July, you will in some measure accomplish the purpose: say what you please concerning its injuring your lambs of their fleeces in future. I can contradict it by experience: Their fleeces will yield as much, and their wool will be better, and as there are no cold storms at that time of the year, your lambs will do better without their fleeces than with them. I make no doubt that by attending to this method of frugality it will at least be a thousand dollars annually advantage to this country. Let us serve without enlarging upon the subject.

From a London Paper. Sir R. Abercromby , in the action of the 21st of March, killed with his own hand, the French Gen. Rioze . The enemy's cavalry had penetrated to the spot where the British Commander had taken post to observe and direct the battle, and were overpowering our party, when Sir Sidney Smith , with a division of seamen, arrived to their succour. Sir Ralph was then in the act of struggling with Gen. Rioze for his sword, which wresting from him he plunged it into his bosom, and immediately after, in acknowledgement of the prompt and gallant assistance of Sir Sidney , presented to him the trophy.
ORDINATION. Last Wednesday, was ordained to the pastoral care of the Church of Christ, in Cape Elizabeth , the Rev. WILLIAM GREGG . After singing, the exercises were introduced by a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Johnson , of Freeport; a sermon, well adapted to the occasion, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Miltimore , of Stratham, in New Hampshire, from Acts. xvi. 17. These men are the servants of the most high GOD, which show to us the way of salvation. The ordaining prayer was by the Rev. Dr. Deane , of Portland; the Charge by the Rev. Mr. Gilman , of North Yarmouth; and the concluding prayer by the Rev. Mr. Kellogg , of Portland. The psalmody was well performed; and the crowded audience very attentive. "Blessed be the man who cometh to this people in the name of the Lord."

After being out 41 days, and nearly in the entrance of the channel, having separated from the convoy in a gale of wind, the prisoners seized an unguarded moment, rose on the crew, wounded several, and made themselves masters of the ship; and fearful of falling in with some of the numerous British cruizers on the French coast, bore away for the United States; and made Cape Cod a few days since; where they landed the British seamen and soldiers. On board the brig, when rose upon, were Capt. Boyns , 4 Lieutenants, Quiriquier , 1st Sergeant, 8 corporals and 20 privates of the 45th Brit. Regt. This regiment has been in the West-Indies several years, and being greatly reduced in numbers, the corps was bound for England to recruit.

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

Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that your honors would empower her in her said Capacity to make and execute a legal Deed of conveyance of said land to the said Cornelius Davis, according to the mites and bounds set forth in the return made on the said execution; and your petitioner as in duty bound shall ever pray.

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