VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACBEAN & POYZER , will in future be sold by Dr. SAMUEL BROWN only, in Lexington, Messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, sore Throats and approaching Consumption.—Price 1 Dollar.
To Parents who 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 so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past, cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons, of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
The above valuable Medicine is sold in boxes containing forty Lozenges, at one Dollar per box.
DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE & EXTRACT OF MUS-TARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White Swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in Rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy; and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp in the feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be preferred with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from the same cause—a slowness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.
Price, 1 Dollar.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident.—1 Dollar.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.—75 cents.

Which is proved by long and extensive experience, to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of Nervous disorders, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, &c. &c.—1 Dollar and 50 cents.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR.
For the cure of all kinds of Head Ache.—1 Dollar.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC.
For the cure of a certain complaint.—2 Dollars.
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE.
50 Cents.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
50 Cents.
DR. HAHN'S GERMAN CORN PLASTER.
A certain cure, speedily removing the Corns root and branch, without pain.—50 Cents.
INFALLIBLE AGUE & FEVER DROPS.
Warranted a safe and certain cure for remittent and intermittent fevers. It has never failed in many thousand cases in different parts of the United States. One bottle will frequently cure three or four persons.—1 Dollar 50 Cents.
CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS.
1 Dollar.
THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION.
For tatters, ring worms, and all eruptions of the skin & is highly esteemed throughout Europe and America, for clearing the skin and improving the complexion.—1 Dollar and 50 Cents.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with 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.—1 Dollar.
OBSERVE, that independent of the above Medicines, being celebrated for their efficacy throughout the United States—they are actually cheaper in general and sold at lower prices, than most individuals must pay for the drugs of which they are composed, purchased at retail prices—being prepared on a large scale and in immense quantities, and sold here, without any advance on the Baltimore prices.

PETER THE GREAT.
THE life of this singular sovereign has more the air of ancient romance than of recent and authentic history. He was the son of the Czar Alexis Michaelowits, by his second wife, and born the 30th of May, 1672. Peter, at the age of ten years, was proclaimed Czar, to the exclusion of his elder brother, who was of a weak body and still weaker mind. The Strelitzes, or body guard, made an insurrection in favor of John; to which they were instigated by the Princess Sophia, who was his own sister, and thus hoped to become sole regent. The matter was at length compromised, by an agreement that the two brothers should jointly share the imperial dignity. The Russian education was, at that time, like the country, completely barbarous, so that Peter had acquired no advantages; and his half-sister, who was truly an ambitious and designing woman, employed every art to debase and enervate the native energies of his vigorous mind. In his tenderest years, however, the love of military hardihood prevailed over all the allurements of enfeebling pleasure. He formed a company of fifty men, commanded by foreign officers, and clothed and disciplined after the German manner. In this corps he entered himself as a private soldier, and performed all the duties of that humble station. He subsisted on his pay only; lay in an ordinary tent; and would not even be raised to the rank of serjeant till he was entitled to that situation. All this was regarded as mere trifling, but he had higher views.
In 1696, the Czar died, and Peter became sole master of the Russian empire. Two years afterwards, he went to Holland where he worked as a common shipbuilder for some time, that he might acquire a competent knowledge of an art which he perceived would be necessary to render his own country respectable. The history of his travels, studies, and fatigues, for the attainment of knowledge in civil and military affairs; his introduction of arts and sciences, a naval force, and commerce with foreign nations; his many reformation in church and state, and in the customs and manners of the people; his wars with the Swedes, Turks, Tartars, and Persians; his victories by sea and by land, acquisitions of territory, and increase of power; his patronage of genius and merit; and his charitable institutions; taken all together, very justly entitled him to the appellation which he obtained—"Peter the Great, the father of his country."
He died January 28, 1725; at the age of fifty-three.
The Czar wrote several productions on the subject of naval affairs; and his name must therefore be added to the short catalogue of Royal Authors.
BEWARE!
Of a Couple of Desperate Assassins.
A Couple of desperadoes are traversing the country, and are making dreadful havoc of the property and lives of old and young. They have already slain more of the inhabitants than were slain in battles and perished in the prison ships, during the American war: and, at the same time, they have wasted more substance than would pay the whole national debt—Their strength is invincible. Their method of attack is to strike people on the head, then instantly they trip up their heels, pick their pockets, and continue their blows on the head, till they have quite beat out their brains. Though they infest public houses chiefly, they are also often found lurking in the closets of private houses, in the work-shops of mechanics, and in the fields of farmers. In some instances, whole families have fallen victims to these murderers:—nay whole towns have been ravaged and ruined by them. One poor man berabouts , that had formerly been an industrious thriving mechanic, has very lately been murdered by them in a manner too shocking to relate: and there are several others in the vicinity, who have been daily attacked by them, robbed of their money, smitten on the brain-pan, knocked down, and in all respects so violently handled that an alarming stupor has succeeded, and they are already brought to death's door. In a word the country is in danger from a couple of outlandish miscreants who mock at reason, trample upon the precious rights of man, and equally bid defiance both to law and gospel. The names of those two ruffians are RUM and BRANDY.

BALTIMORE, August 7.
A lengthy letter from an officer of the United States frigate Chesapeake , dated June 19, handed the editor of the American last evening, concludes with the following:
"We were this day informed that Capt. M'Neil had fallen in with five sail of Tunisian cruizers, and prevented their boarding a Neapolitan frigate, which occasioned an action of considerable carnage on both sides.
This news comes pretty straight and is generally believed here at Gibraltar."
DIED —In England Lord Kensington , member of Parliament, aged 90. His lordship, from being the oldest member in the House of Commons, was termed the father of that assembly.
In Paris, Citizen Dolomieu , Professor of Mineralogy of the Museum of Natural History; and famous for his sufferings in prison. He has left behind him a most interesting work, nearly completed on the Philosophy of Mineralogy. It was written during his confinement. The black created by the smoke of his lamp, diluted with water, served him for ink; his pen was a small bone, which with infinite labor, he ground on the flat stones of his cell; and the greater part of the work, was transcribed on the margin and between the lines of a few books which they allowed him to keep.—Some extracts from this work have appeared in the Miners Journal . It is to be regretted that the author did not live to finish it, as he intended to introduce a new classification into the science, and to improve the ancient nomenclature.
August 9.
It is asserted in some late London papers, that had the signing of the Preliminary Treaty been procrastinated but a few months longer, the British forces would be put in complete possession of St. Domingo by the black general, Toussaint; who is said to have opened a negotiation for that purpose, by agents sent to the island of Jamaica.
New-York.
NEW-YORK, August 7.
By letter from Tangiers of the 20th of June, we learn that the prospect of war between the United States & Morocco, is daily increasing. The Emperor, it appears had demanded a passport for his vessels bound to Tripoli, with supplies, and in case of a refusal threatened a declaration of war against the United States. Commodore Morris is presumable, will never agree to grant, such passports. It is not improbable, therefore, that our contest in the Mediterranean, may be of a more serious nature, than was at first contemplated.
A London paper of the 17th says, "The official letters from Gen. Le Clerc at St. Domingo, contain some expressions, relative to the Americans, much harsher than we could expect to see published in France. When the complaints of the Americans for the seizure of their cargoes are mentioned, it is added, that they should not "speak of the past;" & it is then directly stated, that "the agents of the American government were about Toussaint, and did not suggest to him good intentions."
From late London papers.
At the close of the lists at Paris, on the question whether Bonaparte should be elected Consul for life, no more than 18,000 names were inserted, and among them three citizens had the courage to write a legible non —One very cautious hero, wrote between two columns, "In good truth, I do not know anything about it, yes and no."
The reports of the conspiracy against Bonaparte, of the death of Berthier, and of the dissatisfaction of the French generals, are officially contradicted.
Monsieur Conyngham Monthuret, deputed by the First Consul to negotiate a commercial treaty with England, has had his first interview with Lord Hawkesbury, the result of which, it was said, had proved highly satisfactory.
A rumour prevailed, that Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dundas would soon be transferred to the Upper House. The matrimonial plan of the former, was assigned as the reason of his approaching dignity.
The Batavian Legislature have already resolved upon a deviation from the new Constitution, as far as it respects the gradual change of representatives.
An earthquake, which was felt in several parts of Italy, swallowed up one whole village, so that not one inhabitant, nor any vestage of it remains.
A letter from Constantinople of May 10, states the plague raged with great violence; that the English troops had been obliged to withdraw from Alexandria and Rosetta. The plague has likewise made its appearance at Constantinople and at Smyrna. Mr. Stratton, the English ambassador, has invited the Porte to accede to the Treaty of Amiens, and this accession is expected soon to take place. New disturbances have broken out in Romelia.
At the city of Lorca, in Spain, a reservoir, of several leagues in length, suddenly burst, and inundated a space of 20 leagues, as also a part of the city, 500 houses were destroyed, and 1000 lives lost.

Extract of a letter from Paris, June 15. “Within these few days, much conversation has taken place in a certain circle, respecting the probable change in the constitution, and this circumstance very seriously occupies the politician most looked up to for information: if it be true, however, that a committee has been formed for the purpose of this great work, it must be allowed, that the members conduct themselves with great discretion & secrecy, for much contradiction appears in the assertions of those who pretend to be best informed, one is apt to believe that they have been played upon by false marks of confidence, given to them merely to found the public opinion, or that they amuse themselves by vague speculations, the only point upon which they seem all to agree, is, that the word Constitution will be shortly out of use, and that Grand Charte will be substituted.—It is certain that the word Constitution has been very unfortunate;—during fifteen hundred years it could not make its way into France at all, and for these last eleven, though received in triumph, it has been subject to every caprice. It is not sufficiently understood in this country, that Men make the laws; but Time the constitution. Time is, of all the legislators amongst this volatile people, least known or the least consulted, though certainly the dearest paid. It is said that there are to be two chambers or houses, as in England, and the Senatorial power, which originated in one of the fine ideas of the Abbe Seyes, is to be abolished;—if so, some vice must have been found amongst the senators themselves, and not in the idea, for it was the only body which could preserve its independence without danger, or manifest a positive and blind adherence to the court without apologies.—The protecting and elective power, known here by the title, La Puissance Conservatrice et Elective , will be transferred to the consular authority, who will then have the privilege to reject or accept the laws which may be discussed, or have passed in the two chambers.
“Such are the ideas, now canvassed, and it may be readily believed, that if the first consul expresses his desire that such should be the order of things, a change will take place almost without any hint of opposition. The royalists might see the alteration with regret, but their opinions would have little weight, and the republicans are now sufficiently enlightened to know that the surest mode of preserving the share of liberty, which circumstances allow them, is to conduct themselves with a tacit acquiescence to the supreme will.”
Accounts from Constantinople, of the 8th ultimo state, that apprehensions are entertained by the Porte, with respect to a project said to be formed between the courts of Vienna, Petersburg and Berlin, to appropriate to themselves some of the Turkish provinces in Europe. Conferences on this subject had actually taken place between the Reis Effendi, the Russian minister and British Charge d’Affairs, and two couriers were dispatched on the 17th ultimo, one to Petersburg, the other to Paris. When these advices left Constantinople, a corps of near 20,000 men had been collected in the environs of the capital, destined to act against the rebels and banditti, who spread terror and desolation over most parts of the European provinces.
The French expedition from Leghorn excites some curiosity, especially as it was dispatched in such haste, that several Danish vessels which were in the harbor were put in requisition for that purpose, much against the will of the commander of a small Danish squadron, then at anchor in the roads.
The expedition sent from Genoa against the famous robber, known by the name of the Devil, has completely failed; and that depreda-
tor with his banditti continues his depredations in the environs of that city to such an extent as almost to prevent an intercourse with it by land. According to letters from Genoa of the 22d ult. he has removed his head quarters from Capertardo to the Appenine Mountains. He lately made proposals to the Genoese government, as an independent power, demanding for each of his companions 3000 Louis, and for himself 6000, in consideration of which sums, and a complete amnesty, they would henceforth lead an honest life.
RATISBON, June 1.
Letters from Italy, received this moment, announce an extraordinary piece of news, which we should, however, consider as hazardous. If we are to believe it, it is no less than the occupation of the Morea by the French army, which has evacuated Calabria, to serve, adds the same accounts, with the consent of the Porte, as a compensation for the aggrandizement of territory which Wallachia and Bulgaria will give to Austria and Russia, who, with the consent of the Porte also, are preparing to take possession of them.
PARIS, June 14.
It is confidently reported, that the king of Etruria is absolutely deranged in his mind. The loss of his faculties is supposed to be occasioned by an epilepsy, by which he has of late been severely afflicted. He has since he arrived in Italy, been uniformly governed by the advice of his Confessor; who in conjunction with the archbishop of Parma-Saropi, and the new Cardinal of Sienna, and M. Selvatico, prevailed on him to issue the last edict respecting the Priests, in opposition to the French Minister, gen. Clarke. The latter threatened the Cardinal with banishment.
Some disturbances have lately taken place in Piedmont. The cause is not known and our Journals dare not notice them. ( priv. let. )
BOSTON, August 6.
THE FRIGATE BOSTON.
Capt. May, who arrived in quarantine road on Wednesday evening from Gibraltar, brings the following information:—that capt. M’Neil of the frigate Boston, cruising in the Mediterranean, observing seven Tunisian corsairs in pursuit of a Neapolitan vessel, interposed to prevent her capture. An action ensued, which terminated in the sinking two of the vessels of the Barbarians, damaging three, and putting the other two to flight. The frigate afterwards put into to Sicily; having a number of her crew killed and wounded.
IMPENDING WAR.
Capt. May further informs, that he was told by Commodore Morris, at Gibraltar, June 20, that about a fortnight before, as he expected a rupture with the Moors, he wrote home for reinforcements, but the Emperor refusing Mr. Simpion, our Consul at Tangiers, that he had not the least intention of going to war with the United States, he (the Commodore, by the frigate Essex) countermanded his former letter. Two days after the Essex failed, an express arrived at Gibraltar, from the Emperor, demanding of the Commodore passports for all vessels bound from his dominions to Tripoli with wheat; and that he should take the Tripolitan sloop of war, then stripped at Gibraltar, under his convoy, and see her safe into Tripoli, that in case of refusal he should order Mr. Stimpson out of his territories.
These demands the Commodore refused to comply with, and failed in company with Capt. M c for Tangiers. Mr. Ganivo, our Consul at Gibraltar, had distributed circulars to all the Consuls in that neighborhood, to warn them of the danger he apprehended there would be in a few days in Americans passing the Straights without convoy.
NEW-YORK, August 7.
Mr. Pichon, says the National Intelligencer, has we are informed, received orders from France to collect the votes of the French citizens residing in the United States on the question of the re-election of the First Consul for life, & registers are opened for that purpose in the French consular offices in the United States.
Capt. Sanger, arrived at N. London, 13 days from, Bassaterre, Guadaloupe, informs that previous to his sailing, the government caused it to be reported, that the English had refused to give up Tobago agreeably to the treaty, and under the pretence of an expedition to take that island by force, the black troops and a body of whites were embarked, on board two ships of the line and two frigates. Having secured the blacks the white troops were re-landed; and the next day more blacks male and female were sent on board, and it was said, and implicitly believed, that they were sold to the Spanish government, to be employed in working the mines of South America; where the fleet is destined. The number of Negroes shipped off amounted to 5000.
PHILADELPHIA, August 13.

ODE TO HOPE.
Why on our circling years does hope attend, And paint the fairy prospect bright as day? Like the kind star that glimmers o'er the main To guide the lonely seaman on his way?
Why when despair with haggard downcast eye Spreads her dark mantle o'er the tortur'd mind, Does hope serene, forbid our tears to flow, And give our sorrows to the whistling wind?
Why when the wintry storms around us howl And cheerless poverty is heard to sigh, Does hope her aid with kindest care bestow And wipe the trickling sorrows from the eye?
'Tis thee eternal fountain of our joys, That spreads delusion through thy wondrous plain, To smooth the rugged path of cumber'd life, And court obedience from the heart of man.
Or else despair had check'd his tow'ring soul, Or sorrow spread o'er life her fable wing; Nor would creation smile from pole to pole; Thy rose wou'd fade, thy Birds forget to sing.
ANECDOOTE.
An honest Hibernian, who had been bled up in the interior part of the country, and had never seen a ship or boat, happened to be jour- neying on the bank of a canal, in which was a barge sailing before an easy breeze. Struck with the novel appearance of it, Paddy quick- ened his jog, and with considerable exertion, kept pace with the barge for some time, until coming to a lock, the bargemen began to low- er their sails to pass it; when Paddy almost exhausted and out of breath, gave over the chase, exclaiming—Arrah! if you run so fast with your coat on, the Devil himself will not keep up with you when you strip to it.
