NEWTON'S HIGHLY APPROVED
Essence of Peppermint, Put up in vials of various sizes, with a label pasted upon each vial, marked with its retail price—half ounce vials at 1/4, one ounce vials at 2/6, two ounce vials at 3/6, four ounce vials at 6/6. It has four times the strength of the Essence which is in common use, and is eight times as strong as some which is sold for good Essence of Pepper- mint. The above Essence will be always of equal strength.
Patent Essence of Tansy, Put up in vials similar to the peppermint, of the same price and same strength, both of which have bills of direction accompanying each vial. This Essence is a good medicine for debility, hysterical complaints, hypo- chondriacal affections, cholics, diarrheas, worms, female disorders, &c. &c. See the bill.
ELIXIR OF HEALTH, This is a pleasant cordial-stomachic bit- ter, designed for the removal of Jaundice, biliousness, hypochondriacal and hysterical complaints; and as a preservative against contagious disorders, antiphlogistic of the weather, &c.—Put up in tin boxes, with printed directions for each box—Price 2/6.
ITCH OINTMENT. This is a neat, sweet scented and effect- ual ointment; there is no any before it. It is put up in two ounce tin boxes—one box is warranted to cure two grown persons, & more if the disorder is not bad—at 2/6 box.
Tooth and Ear Ache Tincture. This is a new discovered medicine—it is warranted to cure 19 cases out of 20 of the tooth and ear ache, which is caused by tak- ing cold—if there are forces in the ear, or ulcers at the root of the tooth, this Tincture may be of service, but will not effect an im- mediate cure. This is put up in vials at 1/2 and 1/6 with a bill of directions and la- bel for each vial.
EVERY-WATER. This will cure all common weak and sore eyes in a few days—It is put up in vi- als, with printed directions for each vial— Price 1/6.
The above medicines are all, of them, the composition of ISRAEL NEWTON, of Norwich, Vermont, who keep them on hand, for sale at wholesale or retail. Those who wish to purchase to sell again, may be supplied at any time in exchange for Eng- lish goods; six months credit will be given to those who come well recommended. Next cattle will be received in pay in the month of May—Beef in the month of Oc- tober.
I might add a long list of Certificates, from those who have made use of the above medicines, to their great benefit—likewise from Physicians, who have made use of them in their practice. But I shall not trouble the public with any thing further, only would observe, that the truth is weighty, and those who make use of the above medi- cines, for the use they are intended for, will be convinced of the truth of what is written above. ISRAEL NEWTON.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Judge LIVERMORE's Letter to the Committee appointed by the House of Representatives to inquire into the reasons of his not attending his duty at a late circuit of the Superior Court.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE received your letter with a resolve of the General Court. The insinuation it contains, that I have neglected the duties of my office is groundless. I have been diligent to perform those duties to the acceptance of all good men.
For nearly seven years I have held a place in the Judiciary; and during that time, the court of which I have been a member has been regularly held in all our counties. I say this with satisfaction to my own conscience, and in justice to the worthy men with whom I have had the honor to be associated. And I think I may add without disparagement to them that of the services incident to the court I have contributed my part.
It is well known that, formerly in this State, the extreme parsimony of those who com- posed the General Court had effectually cooled the zeal of our judges for the public service, and tended powerfully to put down the whole Government of New Hampshire to the level of contempt. And it is a fact that the little glimmerings of liberality that have at times ap- peared in the legislature have uniformly been harbingers of increased affluity in judges and other officers, and productive of much good to the community. It was common before the year 1799, to hear that the Superior Court in one or more of the counties had not been held; and it is certain that the last failure happened in the county of Grafton, a short time previous to my appointment.
Whether the State, by its laws, has demanded the unremitted attendance of all the Courts, it may not be competent at present for me to decide. I shall only hint that there cannot be found in the annals of our Government, a precedent to support any legislative interference with a member of the Judiciary for absenting himself, provided the courts had been held on, I by no means desire, however, to excuse myself by showing, that I have merely used ordi- nary diligence. No, Gentlemen; I have been very punctual. Every member of the Le- gislature can bear me testimony that from the date of my commission until the end of the fall circuit of 1804, I had attended at least as many days in court as any judge in New Hampshire was ever known to do in an equal length of time. Why I should be allowed less respite than others it is difficult to imagine.
And why I am desired to account for my absence on the last spring circuit, in particular it is impossible for me to conceive! The causes which detained me from court on that circuit, are so generally known that a rehearsal of them would yield no information. It is sufficient to say that, the illiberal department of those members of the House of Representatives for the year 1804, who, while they voted to give one judge five hundred dollars a year in addi- tion to his salary during his pleasure to receive it; and after increasing the labor of the Court by organizing another county, and the responsibility of the judges by reducing their number, meanly opposed the honorable measures of those who were in favor of "equal justice to all," could not fail to excite irritation and disgust. It drove from the bench one man whose tal- ents and integrity had advanced our judiciary. And I will not suppress that such was my in- dignation at the infringement of the constitution, that had it been in my power to make the last spring circuit, without the sacrifice, that seems to be required, of throwing from my arms an expiring brother; still I should have thought it better to retire for a while that my resentment might subside, as it soon did into contempt for those who were chiefly instrumen- tal in effecting that disgraceful business.
Having mentioned the infringement of the constitution, it is proper to notice, by way of explanation, that its terms relative to salaries apply to all the justices of the Superior Court, and not to one judge in exclusion of his associates. When the people enacted that supreme law and required for its observance the oath of every member of the several departments of Government, they considered that the opinions of their judges were to have equal weight in the decision of every cause, and knew that their responsibility would be equal; and therefore, intended that their compensations should be alike honorable. They said in imperative lan- guage "that permanent and honorable salaries shall be established by law for the justices of the Superior Court. Salaries for the justices—not merely a salary for one of the justices.
The words "honorable salaries" as they stand in the Constitution are, to be sure, indefi- nite; but they import as much in favor of one judge as of another. And since the Legisla- ture has given them a construction by saying they mean fifteen hundred dollars a year to one judge; can the same body, without manifest absurdity, contend that they signify a smaller sum for the others? I must be permitted to say it cannot. The Constitution ought to be our guide.
The Constitution, Gentlemen, regards all the justices of the Superior Court alike. Its terms are general. The spirit of that instrument is impartial, liberal and just—like the people, whose voice it is. And I trust that the members of the present Legislature, which honorable body in establishing salaries is but the steward of the people, will be careful to merit the same epithets, to the end that prosperity and the blessings of their constituents may attend them.
With respect, Gentlemen, I am your obedient and very humble servant. TO EZRA BARTLETT, PETER CARLTON, and JOHN MONTGOMERY, Esquires. A. LIVERMORE.

Eruption of VESUVIUS.
NAPLES, AUGUST 13, 1805.
Yesterday (says a letter) at ten o'clock at night, the eruption of Vesuvius, of which the earthquake seemed to be the forerunner, took place. We were going to visit the Crater, when the cries of the people, and a volume of flame informed us that the volcano had opened. The lava precipitated itself in three seconds from the last peak of the Mountain, and took a direction towards the valley situated between Torre del Greco and Torre del Annunziata, two towns on the sea coast beyond Portici, and seven or eight miles from Naples.
"We set off immediately to see this wonderful and tremendous pheno- menon nearer. From the place of our departure, we saw the whole course of the lava, which extended already two miles from the Crater to the houses that join the two towns. The light was the most magnificently frightful that could be seen.
I contemplated the cascades of flame pouring from the top of the mountain, and shuddered at seeing an immense torrent of fire ravage the finest fields, over- throw houses and destroy, in a few minutes, the hopes and resources of a hun- dred families.
"A line of fire marked the profile of the mountain; a cloud of smoke, which seemed to send forth from time to time flashes of lightning, hung over the scene, and the moon appeared to be pale. Nothing can adequately describe the grandeur of the scene, or give an accurate idea of the horror of it. As we ap- proached the spot ravaged by this river of hell, ruined inhabitants having quit- ted their houses—desolated families trying to save their furniture or provisions, last and feeble resource—an immense crowd of curious persons, retreating step by step from the advancing lava, and testifying, by extraordinary cries, their wonder fear and pity—the frightful bellowing of the mountain, the frequent explosions which burst from the bosom of the torrent, the crackling of the trees devoured by the flames, the noise of the walls falling, and the lugubrious sound of a bell, which the religious of the Camaldulens, isolated on a little hill, and surrounded by two torrents of fire rang in their distress: such are the details of the frightful scene to which I was a witness.
"The moment we arrived, the lava was crossing the great road below Tor- re del Greco. To see it better we got into a beautiful house on the road side —from the terrace we saw the fire at no more than fifteen paces from us—in a minute we descended, and twenty minutes afterwards there remained of the house but three large walls. I approached as near as the heat and flow of the current would permit me. I attempted at different times to burn the end of my handkerchief in it—I could only do it by tying it to my cane. The lava does not run in liquid waves: it resembles an immense quantity of coals on fire, which an invincible strength had heaped up and pushed on with violence.— When it met with a wall, it collected to the height of seven or ten feet, burnt it and over threw it at once. I saw some walls get red hot like iron, and melt, if I may use the expression, into the lava. In its greatest speed and on a hor- izontal road, I reckoned that the torrent travelled at the rate of 18 inches a minute. Its smell resembled that of iron red hot."

conduct of the President has always been equally correct, equally dignified, this is the only act of his which has escaped their bitterest censure. It is then most conformable to truth to suppose that each editor, and each writer has commenced on the Message as his love of war, or his hatred of Mr. Jefferson has preponderated. Some in their eager desire for war have forgotten their hatred of the man. Others have been under the stronger impulse of that hatred—while a third class have uttered a strange medley of both passions—praising, qualifying, fretting, blaming, retracting and praising again.  It is a glorious distinction reserved for Mr. Jefferson alone, that the chief accusation of his bitterest enemies, that he is too anxious to preserve his country in a state of peace, that he has too long averted from her the dreadful scourge of war. With this testimony in his favour he ought to feel assured that, whatever may be the result of the present state of things, he will stand acquitted of having precipitated them, or of having omitted any honorable means of averting an appeal to force. If we are to be involved in war, it will be because it is inevitable, and the evils of it however great, (and they are always great) will be sustained by our citizens with that perseverance and spirit, that is sure finally to triumph. But if we escape those evils, if we maintain our rights without war and without a sacrifice of our real dignity as a nation, it will be because federal councils have ceased to prevail—and much of the glory will belong to the President.
LOUISIANA.
The House of Representatives of the territory of Orleans have risen. Previously to their rising they adopted unanimously the following Address to the President:—
TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Sir—The House of Representatives of the territory of Orleans, penetrated with a sense of the eminent services you have rendered your country, and impressed with the highest respect for that wisdom and integrity, which induced a free people to call you to your present elevated station, seize, with pleasure, the first moments of their legislative existence, to assure you of their esteem and confidence. The advancement of your country's happiness, has long occupied your attention; and of the ability and fidelity with which your important duties have been discharged, the suffrages of a grateful nation are the unequivocal testimonies.
If any circumstances could enrich the fame of a statesman, already conspicuous by a firm and able support of the civil and religious rights of men, it would be your conduct in the acquisition of Louisiana. You have added to the dominions of the U. States, a country, highly favored by nature, and to the great American family, a people worthy the blessings of freedom, and in their determination to maintain it, equally zealous with all their brethren of the Union.
At the close of the session, the speaker, who is one of the most distinguished of the French Planters, made the following address, which we republish as the best refutation of the numerous falsehoods propagated of the dissatisfaction of the French inhabitants of that territory.
"I value as I ought, the thanks which this honorable House has designed to address me. I receive them as a mark of indulgence. It will be to me an encouragement in the discharge of the duties which are imposed upon me. My only ambition in devoting my existence and all my faculties to the happiness of my country, is to deserve the suffrage of this honorable house, and the esteem of my fellow citizens."
"Before we part after this short session, give me leave to congratulate my honorable colleagues, upon the manner with which they have fulfilled the important task which had devolved upon them. If no body could witness in our deliberations the talents and experience, which it will be our most unremitted endeavors to acquire, I hope that our fellow citizens have observed with satisfaction, our modesty, our moderation and our wisdom, together with the marks of the purest zeal for the advantage of our constituents, and the happiness of our common country. Let us continue, gentlemen, to imitate in this respect, the patriotic virtues of which our brethren of the U. States afford us constantly the example."
"I invite the honorable members of this house to procure during the recess, all the materials, the knowledge of which may accelerate the accomplishment of our legislative duties. Let us devote all our efforts to qualify us to fulfil, in a becoming manner, the heavy trust placed in us. The happiness of our fellow citizens, and that of our own families, depend upon our exertions; and to these let us unite the most ardent wishes for the welfare of our country, and for the peace, glory, and prosperity of the United States."

LATEST FOREIGN.
Extracts from the Boston Centinel.
THE British November Packet, arrived at New-York, from Falmouth, has furnished London dates to the 16th November; six days later.
An official account is received of a Supplementary Naval Victory, obtained, by a British squadron of four sail of the line, and four frigates, commanded by Rear-Admiral Strachan, over four French ships of the line escaped from the wreck of the Combined Fleet after the battle of the 21st October off Cape Trafalgar. It appeared, they were a part of the ten sail which Admiral Collingwood says were unemployed in that battle; and from their not having arrived at Cadiz, were reported in accounts from that place, to have been taken by the British.—They were brought to action in the Bay of Biscay the 4th November, and after a gallant defence, were taken by the British, and arrived safe in Plymouth the 10th November.
From the "arena" on the Danube, no later accounts have reached us, than those before received from France. The Austrian papers do not exhibit any marks of despondency; and they pronounce the losses of the French to have been much greater than their accounts allow.
There is not a word of truth in the Halifax report of the destruction of the French flotilla at Boulogne.—The expedition, it is said, had been spoken off the Texel, bound to the Elbe.
The accounts of the intentions of Prussia still wore their inexplicable mask. The last London Courier affirms, rather plausibly, that she had concluded a conditional Treaty of Alliance with Russia; and would certainly make Common Cause with the Allies, if France would not consent to a peace dictated by them!—The Morning Chronicle denies the accuracy of the fact; but the verbal news by the Packet is, that it was momentarily expected in England, when she failed, that Prussia would join the coalition.—"And so they wrap it up"
A manuscript account from Bourdeaux, of a date later than the printed papers, announces the defeat of the Archduke Charles, in Italy, with the loss of 15,000 men, made prisoners. We have no other accounts from Italy.
At the last dates from the French Grand Army, a great movement was in execution. We can only conjecture that its object is, by rapid marches into Corinthia, and by the possession of the passes in the Tyrol, to cut off the communication of the Archduke Charles with Austria, hem him in on all sides, and force him to capitulate. We do not learn, that the Austrians were in any force between Salzburg and Corinthia to oppose this movement; which if successfully executed, will open an easy road to the French arms, and enable Bonaparte to fulfil his threat of being at Vienna, on Christmas Day.*
*When the Emperor Napoleon quitted Boulogne, and set out for Germany, he is reported to have said, "At Vienna before Christmas, in London at Esther," 6th April.
An appropriate MONUMENT is now nearly completed by an eminent Italian near Leghorn, to commemorate the gallantry and inestimable worth of the young men of our navy, who fell in the Tripolitan War in 1804.—To this Monument the gentlemen of the Navy, from their scanty means, generously gave about 2000 dollars. This elegant Monument is expected to arrive in a few days to be placed on an eminence in the Navy Yard in the city of Washington.
An American Gentleman in London, writing to his friend at Savannah, gives the following explanation of the measures pursued by the English in regard to American Commerce: "There is no doubt in my mind, that the measures pursued are the result of a determination to embarrass the trade, and subject it to such charges as to deprive the Americans of the superiority they have gained in the Continental markets, over the merchants of this country." This Letter may be found in the National Intelligencer. If this be the unquestionable ground of controversy, it must require great resolution in the United States, to maintain its rights against the interfering claims which are associated with all the maritime superiority and the commercial glory of Britain. It is necessary to speak plainly and deal unequivocally, upon the most interesting subject of national interest. No partial explanation, no temporary treaties, no revocation of orders, no special indulgencies, should leave in the least uncertainty the great questions of our rights. We should deliberate with wisdom, but determine with justice to our country.
As we had conjectured, it appears, that the attacks upon Mr. M c FARLAND, a member of Congress from N. Carolina, turn out to be exactly of the same character as the infamous proceedings against Matthew Lyon under the administration of Mr. Adams; it turns out to be wholly a political party piece of infamy, where law, justice, public morals and probity, are set aside to overwhelm or to annoy a plain man, who has been elected to Congress in preference to a lawyer and federalist. Mr. M c Farland has been confined in a prison on a charge of perjury and forgery—the perjury is, that he had sworn to a certain man being concerned in pelting him with eggs after his election; the forgery in presenting a receipt for the charges of a witness who attended the court, when it appears that there were two witnesses of the same name, and that one was mistaken for the other! If the state of North Carolina is so strangely relaxed in its laws and its justice, it must be worse than Philadelphia, when Robert Wharton was mayor, and Joe Thomas superintendent of the public morals.—Aurora.
The leaders of the party called federalists, have it in view to convince the people that they cannot govern themselves by their present forms of government, but must have masters, holding authority independent of them, to rule them. It would do very well to persuade one who had been born in a dungeon, and who had never seen the light of the sun, that his eyes could not endure the light of day; and the glimmerings of a candle through a crack, might be considered as evidence of the truth of such an argument. Where a man has never enjoyed the free atmosphere of the earth, but has been immured within the walls of a prison, it may be easy to persuade him that he is fat and healthy, and that his pallid face and bloated flesh are signs of health:—But in a country where the air has been free and the people and their ancestors have been always in the possession of a free government, conducted principally by their own suffrages, it will be very difficult to convince them that they can no longer breathe a free air, or that they must bind their own hands in order to prevent their committing political suicide.—Chronicle.
The following resolution has been offered in the Legislature of Virginia—"Resolved, that the Legislature of Virginia, have the highest confidence in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of Congress, the President of the United States, and his administration, and that they are ready whenever they shall direct, to join "in a contest" with any nation that has injured us, to try "which party can do the other the most harm."
A Gibraltar paper of Nov. 2d, says, "that only three of Lord Nelson's prizes, viz the Swiftsure, San Ildefonso, and San Juan Nepomuceno, of 74 guns, were got into that port.—Ad. Louis, with the squadron under his command, went thro' the Gut of Gibraltar on the 29th of October."
The brig Neptune, Delano, from Lisbon, was spoken with at sea on the first ult. having on board dispatches for the government of the United States. He informed that the disputes between France and the United States were in a fair train for accommodation.
BRITISH NAVY. —On the first November, the British had Seven hundred and Sixteen ships of war in commission—of which 131 were of the line, 22 fifty gun ships, 139 frigates, and 424 sloops of war, &c.

AUTUMN.
THE smiles of the summer are past, The labors of Flora are o'er! Ah, seasons too charming to last, And almost too fleet to deplore.  Of late, like the sailor so gay, Who sings in the top of the shrouds, The lark from on high tuned his lay, Now seen, and now lost, in the clouds.  Of late, how the banks were arrayed, Wherever yon rivulets run? Of late, and the swain sought the shade To hide from the rays of the sun.  These seasons are past—O how frail! Like dews of the morning they fly— The flower has forsaken the vale, The tenant of ether, the sky.  What wars the wild elements wage Chill Autumn has taken his stand, And seems, as he howls, to presage The horrors of Winter at hand.  Ah me! how august, how sublime A lesson for wisdom is here! How swift are the feet-steps of time, How transient the dates of the year!  Our summer of life must decay— Its autumn at farthest, is near; Then let us be wise while we may, Ere time steal a march on our rear.  Let us husband, with care, lest it die, The taper of life, while it burn, And learn to improve, as they fly, The days which can never return.
ANECDOTES.]—A Gentleman who had been commissioned by his wife to make a purchase for her at a milliner's, being accosted by a friend on his return, begged to be excused from stopping, as he had bought a bonnet for his wife, and was "afraid the fashion might change before he got home."
A pious clergyman, after having joined a country couple in the firm bonds of wedlock, very properly, observed to the man, that he had now engaged and undertaken a very great and serious business. "I know it Sir" replied the groom, (who had just before undertaken a large contract to clear up and prepare for seed some wild land, to which he supposed the parson alluded)—but I shall get thro' with it as slick as grease, if I have a good burn!"
