Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by MACEAN & POYZER, at the Store formerly occupied by Mr. Robert Barr, Lexington, the following Valuable
MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from foulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels. A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnancy, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
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 Ascarides, or small maw worm, and fatty, the Taenia, 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 slimy and fecal stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and tickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow 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. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES, SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed, but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable. Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
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 medi-
cine has 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 worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings 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 been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very nautilus medicine, and seldom taken in 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.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.
For the prevention and cure of Lillitis and Malignant Fevers, is recommended DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS PILLS,
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Peterburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, 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, has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
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 consequences—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 aches—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRCAT OF MUSTARD,
For the Cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swelling, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the Cure of a Certain Disease.
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 mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE, 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 cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER,
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 effect 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, &c. &c.

LONDON, September 8.
E G Y P T.
The following observations respecting the posture of affairs in Egypt, detailed in letters of the 15th July, 1800, we have collected from the Courier de Londres of yesterday.
On the 20th June, Sir Sidney Smith, accompanied by the Captain Pacha, arrived at Jaffa, from Rhodes. On the 21st, the English commodore and the Pacha had an audience of the Grand Vizier, at which both were received with marked distinction; and visited with the polisse of honor. A conference there ensued, to which were admitted Kyaya Bay and the Reis Effendi, to deliberate on the measures necessary to be adopted in the present conjuncture of affairs in Egypt; but no definitive arrangement was agreed to at the interview. A council, however, was held next day, in which it was resolved to write to General Kleber, assuring him that all the obstacles that had hitherto obstructed the execution of the convention of El Arish were removed; and that, as soon as he should have specified in precise terms his intention of evacuating Egypt, the Vizier would issue orders for providing him with the necessary transports at Alexandria. It was at the same time determined that these letters should be entrusted to one of Sir Sidney Smith's superior officers, who, for greater dispatch, was to go to Cairo by land. That officer set out accordingly on the 23d, under an escort of Arabs. Whatever might be the result of this transaction, the Vizier remained firmly resolved to make no concessions beyond those of the convention of El Arish, and to try again the chance of war sooner than consent to any new propositions.
Such was the posture of things when, on the 28th at night, an account was brought to the camp, of Kleber having been assassinated by a Janissary from Gaza; which account was transmitted by Menou himself, who then succeeded to the command of the French army.
The writer of the letter then proceeds to observe upon the character of General Menou, whom he represents as a violent hot-headed man, who had made himself a Mahometan, in order to promote his marriage with an Egyptian, and become one of the Beys; views which powerfully induced him to oppose the treaty of El Arish. In that resolution he resigned his command of the provinces of Alexandria and Rosetta, which was conferred by Kleber on General Lanusse.—These dispositions on the part of Menou, seem to have coincided with the intentions of Buonaparte, who some time back sent Lia Tour-Maubourg to decide Kleber upon maintaining his ground in Egypt. These dispositions, combined with the successful turn which the affairs of France assumed in Italy may naturally have induced a disinclination to a treaty that was as repugnant to the private views of gen. Menou as to the ambition of Buonaparte. Menou, accordingly availed himself of these favorable circumstances, and holding out the assassination of Kleber as a new proof that the Turks were not to be confided in, he broke off all communication with them, and signed his determination to Sir Sidney Smith not to listen to any further terms of accommodation, without the concurrence of the French Government. Among the charges which he urges against the Turks, he inveighs with peculiar asperity against a Mr. Morrice, who had written to Kleber. In a proclamation of Menou's, which is intended as an answer to that letter, it is ordered by Menou, that every person coming on the part of one Morrice, styling themselves Secretaries of Lord Elgin, should be considered and treated as spies, and that a similar treatment is in the reserve for the said Morrice, if ever he should set his foot on the territory occupied by the French army.
This animosity against Morrice seems to have arisen from the following circumstance: After the discomfiture of the Vizier, Morrice endeavored to reach Damietta in a boat, on the mere assurance that the Rais, at that place was in the possession of the Turks. He was apprised of his mistake only by falling into the hands of the French. He was again betrayed by the confidence he reposed in an Arab; to him he had intrusted his pocket book. The Arab, sure of the favor and reward which he should receive for betraying Morrice, sent the pocket-book to the governor of Damietta, who immediately transmitted it to Kleber. Morrice was, however, set at liberty. The French availed themselves of his imprudence, in order to discover the real motives of his
mission and to interpolate the papers which fell into their hands, so as to answer their own views. They gave out that among other plans contained in these papers, there was one for destroying the French army on its return home, if the convention was to be put in execution. The papers of Morrice are no doubt, the correspondence which Kleber intended to get published in France, to form, as he laid, a counter-part to the private correspondence from the French army in Egypt published in England. It is likewise probable that it was these papers which provoked the violent proclamation issued by Menou.
If the assertions of an ocular witness may be believed, the defeat of the Vizier is to be imputed to this same Morrice, and to a captain Lacey, an English officer, by whose advice the military dispositions of the Vizier had been adopted. The Vizier drew out his army in battle array, on the plain situated between Brikken-el-Hagi, and the village d'El-Hanca, where the French were enabled to advance upon an extended line, and to form themselves into any order of battle they might think most convenient, supported as they were by their heavy artillery; if the Vizier, on the contrary, had pitched his camp between El-Hanca and the Nile, on a fertile country; intersected with canals and ditches, Kleber would have been compelled to debouch by very difficult and almost impassible roads; and a few pieces of cannon would have sufficed to disconcert the French; in case of a reverse, the Turks would, at least, have secured the means of falling back upon the Delta and Damietta, where they might have found an abundance of provisions, and a free communication by sea, instead of being driven upon the fatal barrenness of the desert.
There is now no hope of the convention of El Arish being renewed, unless an insurrection takes place among the French troops to dispossess Menou of the command, to put in his room an officer disposed to evacuate Egypt. But as there is no great probability of such an event, every measure is now adopted to compel the evacuation by force of arms. The Vizier's army is reinforced by 30,000 men, and the captain Pacha and Sir Sidney Smith are again employed in cruising off the coast of Egypt, blocking up its ports and seconding, by every possible means, the plans of attack to be pursued by the Vizier.
TRANSLATION.
An article from Constantinople of 18th July, taken from a Rotterdam paper says that the French General Kleber is massacred by a Janissary soldier, in the following manner: The soldier kneeled before the general and presented him a paper which had the appearance of a petition; and while the latter was opening the supposed petition, the former drew a concealed dagger from under his coat and pierced him through the body, notwithstanding his guards were all around him who however, at the very instant, murdered the poor soldier in a shocking manner.—General Menou then took the command of the French army of Egypt; information of which he communicated to Sir Sidney Smith; in the letter to Sir Sidney, he says "The Turks could not contend with the French, and massacred their valorous commander from malicious revenge—the means employed for this purpose (coming under the garb of a truce) is the most despicable and dastardly. I have always differed with the unfortunate general in his lenity to the Turks, and now the command has devolved upon me, I shall treat them more severely."

LANCASTER, October 29.
SUMMARY
Of the latest Foreign News, received by the Cartel Ship Benjamin Franklin, in 47 days from Bordeaux.
By this vessel there are Dispatches from our envoys, for the President of the United States.
We have been favored with the perusal of some private letters from Joel Barlow, and an American official character at Paris, from which we learn the following particulars.
That the negotiations which had been suspended, through no misunderstanding, but merely the circumstances of the government being engaged solely in pursuits which required an united and concentrated direction of its energies, had been renewed, and a liberal spirit appeared to actuate the negotiations on both sides.
From the nature of the discussions, which have been voluminous, it was not expected that the whole business of the mission could possibly be concluded during the present winter. Overtures were made therefore, for such intermediate arrangements as should put an end to the present injurious state of things between the two countries, to renew the commercial intercourse, and to put a fatal stop to every thing tending to warfare.
The Americans in France, are treated on the old footing of friendship and partiality, and it appears to be a sentiment adopted by the government of France, that no step ought to be taken at the present season, which might subject the American Republic to the hostile jealousy or depredations of any other power, under the pretence of the stipulations of a treaty.
Mr. Fenwick, several years our consul at Bourdeaux, and who has heretofore experienced so much federal calumny for his adherence to the republican cause, arrived in this vessel.
We have received the Gazette of France, and some other French papers down to a late date.
Actual information of moment, they contain little, which we have not before had, through the medium of English and German prints. And as to the views or projects of the government, it would be a want of judgment to expect to find them in the journals, where the Liberty of the Press has no true existence.
The speculations and conjectures of the Journals, however, give some idea of the temper and turn of mind of the speculative politicians, on which account we shall give such articles as may be likely to afford matter of reflection—though certainly it would be absurd to calculate upon the projects and views of Buonaparte. His plans are seldom to be approached before the moment, when, like thunder, they unfold themselves. An army forming at Amiens, is said to be intended to invade England or Ireland. It is one reason with us for doubting the intention alleged, that it is so declared. The position of the army is favorable to guard against any of those hostile expeditions which have lately been fitted out in England. Whose object has also been to confound and amuse John Bull only, or a battle of military movements, and the shew of power, and thereby turn the English mind from the disastrous state in which that country is placed, by the successes of the French in Germany, and the dangers which menace its navy, and its commercial and financial resources, by the northern combination, and the menaced invasion of Portugal.
The army at Amiens, one of the letters of an American in Paris, says, will be a powerful auxiliary as to the force, and a school of discipline for the armies on the Lower Rhine and Danube, should the Emperor continue to reject the only opportunity for his salvation.
A change had taken place in the supreme tribunal, before which, cases of naval capture are to be decided at Paris. The former president of the tribunal was a man of tardy and timid habits. He is succeeded by Berlier, a man of much energy, and who was a member of the committee of public safety, after the fall of Robespierre. He is an ardent advocate for the freedom of the seas.
Lexington, November 24.
On Thursday last the Legislature proceeded to elect a Senator from this state to the Senate of the United States for the ensuing six years, vice Humphrey Marshall esq. whose time expires with the present Congress, when John Breckenridge esq. was elected.
On Saturday Harry Toulmin esq. was re-appointed Secretary of State.
The thunder storms of the 12th and 17th of this inst. were more tremendous perhaps, than any ever experienced in the western country, at so advanced a season. That of the 12th, has, in different parts of the state, been very destructive. A Mr. Scott, on Davy's fork, lost his barn, stack-yard (consisting of 14 stacks) with a considerable quantity of grain threshed, and three horses—The horses were killed, and the barn set on fire by the lightning. On Elkhorn, in Scott county, a Mr. Branham lost his barn and stable, with one horse—The lightning struck the stable, set it on fire and killed the horse. Mr. Richardson, about six miles from this place, lost three horses, by a tree being blown down on them. A hay stack at the upper end of Main street, in this town, was set on fire by the lightning, and the citizens called out in midst of the storm (about nine o'clock at night) by the alarming cry of FIRE!
That of the 17th, has not been so de-
structive, but the lightning was vivid, and the thunder tremendous.
Since the storm of the 17th, the air has been intensely cold—this morning at sun-rise the mercury stood at 8, Fahrenheit's scale.
From the best information we can collect, Charles Scott, John Coburn, Isaac Shelby, and John Pope, esqs. are elected electors to choose a President and Vice President of the United States. Mr. Jefferson is sure of an unanimous vote.
The sale of non-residents' lands for the payment of taxes, commenced (in Frankfort) on Monday last, agreeably to advertisement.
Answer of the Senate to the Governor's Address.
His Excellency JAMES GARRARD, Esq. Governor of Kentucky.
SIR. The Senate congratulate your Excellency upon your re-election to the Chief Magistracy, by the suffrages of a free and populous country: this renewed testimony of the public confidence so far as it is a proof of an upright administration, must be highly agreeable to you.
"We sincerely concur with you in acknowledging our obligations of gratitude to the supreme being, from whose bounty the present tranquil and flourishing state of our country proceeds; and we view with pleasure, the rapid increase of our agriculture and manufacturers; but we hear with extreme regret that our finances are in so exhausted a state! We entirely coincide with your Excellency in thinking that the scarcity of specie among us is in a great measure to be attributed to the unfortunate direction which our commerce has hitherto taken, and sincerely with that it could be turned into its natural channels, the Ohio and Mississippi, through which we might expect a return in specie for the productions of our country.
"The Senate entirely agree with your excellency in thinking a time of peace above all others the most proper to organize the militia, and to prepare such supplies of arms and ammunition as may be necessary for their equipment. They will readily unite with your excellency in adopting such measures as will be most likely to produce so desirable an end.
ALEXANDER S. BULLITT. Speaker of the Senate.
OBITUARY.
Died, on the 20th inst. at Col. Pattersons in this town, Col. WILLIAM CAMPBELL, of Muhlenberg county, and late senator in the state legislature, from that district.
—At Point Pleasant, (mouth of Kenahwa) Col. THOMAS LEWIS by a fall from his horse, in which his skull was fractured, his left shoulder blade, and all the ribs on that side, and his right thigh were broken—he died in about an hour after the fall but never spoke.
BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.

We expect here Moreau and count de Lehrbach, who have not passed through our city, as was reported.
We learn that the courier who was the bearer of the new armistice, reached gen. Angereau too late; for hostilities had already commenced on the right bank of the Mein. A column of our army had penetrated to Fulda, after having beaten the enemy near Neuhoff.
Ratisbon is again occupied by general Bouret.

It has been this day announced, as certain, that the emperor has signed the preliminaries of peace; but that they are to be kept secret. It is added, that they differ in their tenor from those signed at Paris.

LUNEVILLE, Sept. 28. Yesterday the sub-prefect and secretary arrived here, and proceeded to the castle to agree upon the repairs to be made upon that superb edifice, in which the interests of so many nations are to be discussed. A theatre is to be established here.
PARIS, Sept. 24. It was remarked, that at the dinner which the first consul gave on the first Vendemaire, a toast was given to the 16 united departments.
It is said, that gen. Clarke was to set out last night for Luneville.
The accounts from Italy state, that the French government have demanded and obtained from the pope, the removal of the Neapolitan troops from Italy; that gen. Melas has surrendered the command of Ancona to gen. Knezevich.
It is said that Joseph Buonaparte, counsellor of State, is to go to the congress at Luneville, as negotiator on the part of the French republic.
ARMY OF BATAVIA—Right Wing. Order of the Day, of the 1st Vendemaire.
The army is informed that there is a prolongation of the armistice for 45 days, on condition of the surrender of the three places of Ulm, Ingolstadt, & Philippsburg; which has been consented to by the Emperor.
Signed, ANDROS. September 30.
General Clarke did not set off for Luneville till last night. It is said that the French Government were determined to consent to an armistice, by the declaration made by Prussia, that the Northern Powers will not see with a favorable eye, the ulterior progress of the French—and that if they continue to drive back the Austrian army, Prussia would reinforce the cordon, which occupies the line of demarcation, with 6000 men—and that another army of the same force, would have orders to hold itself ready to march.
We learn from Calais, under date of the 28th September, the following news: An English flag of truce, brought yesterday a dispatch for government—it was immediately sent off by a courier, to Paris.
October 3. A convention of amity and commerce, between the French Republic and the United States of America, was signed the day before yesterday, by the French Plenipotentiaries, Joseph Buonaparte, C. P. Claret, Fleurieu, and Roederer, and the American Commissioners, Oliver Ellsworth, W. R. Davy, and W. V. Murray. Official.
It was less necessary to revert to the past, than to revive between the two nations useful and honorable relations—the treaty has fulfilled the object. The French minister, convinced that the prosperity of America could not but add to the prosperity of France, have been led to consecrate maxims most favorable to the rights of neutrality, and most conformable to the regulations of 1778. The first Consul, in restoring force to that regulation four months ago, fulfilled the will of justice and of Europe—and undoubtedly it will be delightful to him to evince himself anew, faithful to his principles, by ratifying the treaty concluded by the ministers of the republic, at a moment in which Europe resounds with the violation of neutral flags. The American ministers, on their side, appreciated the advantages of being allied to a nation governed at length, with wisdom and firmness. Every thing announces, that a strict and durable friendship is about to re-animate the mutual commerce of the two nations.
The convention signed by the Emperor, produces a great sensation in Germany. The malcontents and partizans of England accuse him of having abandoned the interests of the empire, which is not true.
LONDON, October 4.
We are still without any certain information respecting the nature of the difficulties lately received by government, from France. It is thought however, that those which arrived on Wednesday evening, contained nothing absolutely decisive, of the question of the proposed armistice; and the explanatory communications on the subject; we believe have not yet entirely ceased. The difficulties which present themselves on this occasion, must be, indeed, both numerous and serious. It should seem that we are called upon to make no less a sacrifice than the total relinquishment for a given time, of the proud superiority which, as a maritime power, we so eminently possess: and to this discouraging consideration we may venture to add our fears that the jealousies and suspicions which the respective governments entertain of each
others views, are at the present moment, so too marked and forcible a description, to induce a reasonable hope of the existing differences being brought to a speedy or cordial accommodation.
A council of the cabinet ministers was held yesterday afternoon, at Lord Grenville's office; a circumstance which gave rise to a report of some further dispatches having been received from France, but which we could not trace to any authentic source.
The Hamburg Mail which became due on Wednesday, had not arrived when this paper was put to press.
Angereau's troops have now all marched up the Mayn, towards Lohas. In the environs of the Lahn and the Nidda, not a single French soldier remains.
Gen. Clark, the officer appointed to repair to the seat of negotiation at Luneville, is an Irishman, and a very confidential friend of the first consul.
Prince Adolphus is arrived at Hamburg, from Hanover, on his way to England.
The new Bavarian minister, the chevalier de Bray, is expected to arrive in this country.
Lord Whitworth is now on his return to England, by the route of Hamburg.
A council of the cabinet ministers was yesterday held at Lord Grenville's office.
The flag of truce which arrived at Dover on Wednesday morning, brought dispatches in answer to those sent from London on Friday last. They reached town on Wednesday evening, and contained the answer of the French government. To the dispatches sent off on Saturday, no answer has yet been received; but is hourly looked for. Till something definitive is agreed on, or the matter entirely abandoned, no information on the subject can be expected to be published officially.
The preliminary convention has been signed, between the courts of England and Denmark. The question of the right of searching ships, is to be deferred to a future discussion. The Danish frigate la Freya, and the vessels which were under her convoy, to be instantly released; and the frigate shall find, in our port, every thing necessary for her repair, according to the usage allowed among friendly and allied powers. To prevent similar encounters from breeding disputes of a similar nature, his Danish majesty shall suspend his convoys till the ulterior explanation, upon this point shall have given rise to a definitive treaty. If it should come to pass however, that any rencontre of the same kind should take place, before the instructions to prevent them shall have had their effect, they shall not be productive of any serious consequences; and the arrangement of whatever may result from them, shall be considered as comprehended in the objects of the present convention.
Oct. 6. Government received, this morning, dispatches of importance from Paris.—They are supposed to contain the final answer of the chief consul. The ship which brought them; brought us Paris papers to the fourth instant, the contents of which are of considerable importance.
Malta has at length surrendered to the English. On the 2d September a council of war was held, at which, on account of the total want of provisions, it was agreed to send a flag of truce to major Pigot, with a proposal to surrender the island. On the 5th, the articles of capitulation were agreed upon and signed. The garrison are considered as prisoners of war, and are not to serve against his Britannic majesty, until they have been regularly exchanged.
This event is of considerable moment. It removes one of the obstacles to the arrangement of a Naval Armistice; and will enable Great Britain to negotiate, with more effect, at the Congress of Luneville.
The negotiation between America and France has been brought to a conclusion; and a Convention of Amity and Commerce was signed, on the 1st inst, at Paris, by the French and American Plenipotentiaries.
The Emperor is gone back to Vienna. The Count de Lehrbach is daily expected at Strasburgh, on his way to Luneville; where very active preparations for the Congress are making. The Chief Consul's brother, Joseph Buonaparte, is to be the negotiator, on the part of France.
On the 30th and 31st of Aug. Lord Keith sailed from Minorca, with 15,000 troops. He proceeded to the eastward; and is supposed to be gone, either to Naples or Egypt.
A ship which arrived the day before at Torbay, from off Brest, saw the French fleet in the Roads apparently ready for sea.
FRANCONIA, August 24. Gen. Moreau has given orders, that the tenth part of this years harvest be delivered to the French Commissaries, instead of being applied to the use of the absent land owners.
A transport of cloathing destined for the garrison of Ingolstadt, has been stopped by the French general of Division Ney; because by virtue of the Convention, nothing is allowed to pass except provisions.
The whole French army receives now regularly every ten days its pay but the arrears have as yet not all been paid up.
Buonaparte desires of the Pope that the Catholic Clergy, be permitted to take wives.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ODE
To a Friend dissatisfied with his situation.
By THUMBELL.
IN vain from place to place we roam, In vain we quit our native home, In vain explore remotosus seas, To purchase happiness and ease; And hope to find serene skies, Where undisturb'd contentment lies; Die then care, fly where we will, Parties us like a blood-hound till.
In frigid northern realms confin'd, We curse the ruthless winter's wind; The chilling frost and beating rain, Drive pleasure from the naked plain; And fiercer foes, than those prevail, To make mankind their lot bewail: Oppression rules with iron rod, And vassals tremble at his nod.
If we retreat to milder climes The scene presents a land of crimes, Where freedom prostituted bleeds, And bears the name of horrid deeds, Which discord, in her maddest fit, Hath made outrageous friends commit Who, eager to enjoy the spoils, Involve the land in endless broils.
Where Roman greatness once bore sway, The bills are green, the fields are gay; The garden blooms in many a hue, A thousand temples rise to view, Rich palaces of costly mould, Blaze to the sun in burnish'd gold; But super-stition's ghastly face These scenes of luxury disgrace.
And see! where Greece in ruin lies! Fair Greece, the mighty and the wise; Where classic Athens rose sublime, Whose learning o'er the wreck of time, Spreads science to each distant shore, To live when Athens is no more; Now held in slav'ry's bitter chains, Proud ignorance in triumph reigns.
Behold! on Persia's sullen coast, Her ancient wealth and splendor lost, Her lofty domes in ashes laid, Her richest cities long decay'd Those groves where once her magic strow'd, The rude barbarians now invade, And void of law, a people's guide, Dire outrage lords it far and wide.
If we to Indian groves repair, Care's meagre form will meet us there; Amidst Arabia's spicy vales Devouring pestilence prevails And though on fair Columbia's coast, Rich Mexico her mines can boast, Her solid hills of richness are Cannot the bloom of health restore.
Where will the boundless search extend? Where will the painful labour end? Bright reason wisely whispers, "Care, "Weak man, why haunt thee every where!" Content alone can boast the charm, That can the busy hand disarm, And care will ever fly the cell, Where innocence and virtue dwell.
ANECDOTE.
A certain Captain remarkable for his uncommon height being one day at the rooms of Bath, a lady noticing him enquiring who he was; when she was informed of his family and connections & that he was originally intended for the church; to which she replied he was better suited for the sceptic.
