G. SHAW, Respectfully informs the public he has received from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green Street, Soho, London, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine. A WAKE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established reputation and extensive sale, R. Johnston, obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Essence of Mustard from SPURIOUS IMITATIONS.
"Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been so clearly demonstrated that its sale has far exceeded any former example; comparatively there are few families in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Essence of Mustard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Complaints of the Stomach and other Painful Maladies."
Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most respectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them; it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the best families in England, Ireland and America. A COUNTERFEIT. R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Essence of Mustard," as well as many others, has been shipped for America, and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the afflicted to be particular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, labels, and bill of directions which are closely copied, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude common observation. The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand writing on each label, and as an additional security is further signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States: G. SHAW, No. 120 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle. FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES.
It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the faculty, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The Fluid Essence of Mustard, is an embrocation worthy their particular attention; it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten track of general practice—it is an active stimulant, easily controlled; may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both elegant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous prescriptions of their brethren in England. The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, of Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Barrill, Maiden Lane, New-York, Messrs. Bailey and Walker, Charleston, William Black, Salem, (N. J.) Charles Huntley, Lancaster, A. C. Jorden, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, I. & J. Mantz, Fredericktown, Maryland, G. W. Mancius, Albany, Dr. Vanfingen, New-York, Messrs. Titford & Son, do. Messrs. Rofs & Douglass, Pittsburgh, John Webber, Wilmington, James Wilson, do. Richard Winter & Co. Savannah, and in every principal town in the United States. N.B. The public are desired to enquire for Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, all others being a base and spurious imitation. GEO. SHAW. 120, Chestnut-street, where Venders may be supplied.
"Caution against Counterfeits." Agents are appointed by G. Shaw in every principal town of the United States, and there is no certainty of purchasing the Genuine Essence of Mustard in any part of America, unless it is signed on the outside wrapper by G. Shaw, No. 120, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 17.
From the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE.
West Moulsey, December 6.
MR. URBAN,
WHILST we glory in the actions of our seamen, and the unprecedented one un- der Nelson of the Nile vibrates in a Briton's breast, we must rejoice in whatever titles and rewards a grateful country confers. Amidst a train of such thoughts, which swell at pub- lic success, I trust we have some favourable ones to share, when we hear that a meritorious fellow creature is advanced to the summit of her wishes; and, as it fell to me first to bring forward the extraordinary and exemplary conduct, I have now the satisfaction of mentioning the promotion of the heroic "Lancashire Collier Girl."
We refer you to the folio character given of her in a former magazine*, and which met the approbation of those who value mer- it in all stations—nor the least when it shines through the humblest. I allow, with the benevolent Hannah Moore, that it is dan- gerous to launch out in praise of living char- acters, especially when not shielded by edu- cation; but we trust we shall prove what we said of Betty Hodson has not bedizened her fancy, nor is her humility in the least done away; and we proceed in speaking without any fear that it ever will.
We naturally feel proud in being from the same country with those in high professions who distinguish themselves. Since the former part was written, I have mixed very much in the quiet walks of life; and, in passing from vil- lage to village, never left a cottage without something to remember by; and whether it was from the welcome with which they gave me a draught of buttermilk, or offered a chair, or pointed out a better road to me, the manner was all truth and heart: and amidst such civilities I journeyed on. Well then am I prepared to feel proud in being of the same country, and having happily lived for a short time in the village, which gave birth to our heroine.
Lancashire teems with a hardy race, ever amongst the foremost to come forward in per- son and money, that fleeting way of putting expressions of loyalty to proof. The dis- fected of them are a very little set indeed; but, like others of the same principles, as it met their views, endeavoured by rough cla- mour to make it believed they were a multi- tude; or, by secret machinations (now hap- pily unrevcaled) of the finalness of their numbers.
About three years ago, and in consequence of the momentous period, a nobleman raised a regiment of Fencible Infantry; and, tho' the country was supposed to be drained of its stoutest men, he was held in such just- estimation, the battalion was soon complete in men nearly, if not equal in size to its broad shouldered militia.
His paternal attention to his former regi- ment during the last war; his previous ac- tivity in assisting to complete the Old Man- chester volunteers; and his notice of the re- mains after their honourable return from abroad; had secured to him the confidence of the soldiers.
Between this exalted person and Benevolus the strictest friendship commenced in class- fellowship at school, and grew with their years; and had the state of his health per- mitted, we should probably have seen him next in rank to his friend, and equally ac- tive in exertions. But, though the blessing of health is denied him, it is notable to see the perfect resignation with which he bears the want of it.
On the occasion he liberally subscribed; and his domestics, following the example spontaneously, made up a purse for the same cause. Betty was not asked to give any thing as it was known she had a very empty pock- et; her willingness was of course never doubted. And yet she did not wish to be left out; and quietly went to the house-keep- er to borrow five-shillings, which was thus prefaced: "The ten, Madam, that ever master as gin a leerge from a mone to th' re- gin a regiment a soldiers to fight th' French when they cum, an that aw th' servants an gin dumb but me." The request being in- stantly granted, the said, "When th' French do cum, if weemen ma feight, I'll fight as ard as I can."
Not satisfied with words and giving alone, she was observed for several days thought- ful, and at times very uneasy; and the cause soon burst out. She had a brother, the on- ly male remains of her wasted family, who was a super-numerary husbandman upon the estate. All her spare time had been taken up in persuading this darling brother to enlist in the regiment; and her master told me she was heard thus to reason with him: "Foks sen th' French ar cummin, and that teir ar farts cum enn be England we be fane out:—tha knoa, lad, wark's neaw a das fleare:—tha art getten a fleat mon neaw:—foa tha mun larn th' feight, and goa wi th' nebor lads, or theyle caw the kewarts." By such language she at last persuaded her brother to enlist, strengthened him with resolutions; and, when he went to join his regiment, she was almost heart-broken. I am told the parting between them was most affecting indeed; and that it was some time before she recovered herself.
Dost not this specimen of our Collier girl confirm what was said of the dauntless char- acter of a mither? Nor doth it lessen her ear- ly filial duties.
* Vol. LXV. p. 179.
In a conversation previous to the first insertion in the Gentleman's Magazine. Her master took me into his kitchen, on pre- tence of showing me the extent of it. She heard us come, and pulled out, but on being called, came and with out the least confusion gave an account of the utility of the kitchen utensils. It is really astonish- ing, a young creature of so slender a make could have born such excellent labour.
The above account might have dwelt in silence, had not this morning received a letter which mentions.
"The conduct of Betty Hodson has al- ways been so exemplary, I have made her my Cook, in the place of one who had serv- ed me faithfully for more than twenty years, and who was last summer married to one of my tenant's sons, an honest and industrious man; and they are now settled upon a farm within a mile of my house."
Thou, my friend Urban, who hast often witnessed the many ramblings of my thoughts wilt know how rejoiced we are at this her promotion; and

BOSTON, May 11.
Saturday Morning 5 o'clock.
This morning about five minutes past two, a fire took in some out-buildings in the vicinity in Newbury street, which in the course of three hours consumed thirteen dwelling-houses, and a number of other buildings; besides damaging others. No lives, we are happy to announce were lost, although several houses were involved in flames, before the inhabitants thereof were awakened. Mr. John Jarvis lost nine or ten of the house-furniture. Messrs. Merckel, Cole, Childs, and Mrs. Hunt, occupied the others. Messrs. Timothy Pease, jun. Mr. Wheelwright, Mr. Kenny, Mr. Graupner, and others whose names we have not at this early period been able to ascertain, were occupants of Mr. Jarvis's building. The loss in furniture, &c. is very considerable. An almost entire calm enabled the citizens to prescribe limits to a threatening conflagration. Our brethren in the neighbouring towns were prompt to our assistance—they have our thanks. Mr. Pease's house, we learn, was not insured, as reported. Many of the sufferers have claims on the benevolence of the public.
HARTFORD, May 13.
On Thursday last, the annual Election of the Officers of the State Government, was held in this City. On Wednesday his Excellency the Governor, and his Suite, crossed the river about 4 in the afternoon, and was received by his Company of Horse Guards, commanded by Major Jones, and escorted to Major Ripley's tavern, where the customary military exercises were performed by the troops. On Thursday morning the House of Representatives met, and organized themselves; and at 11, his Excellency was escorted from his lodgings, by his Company of Foot Guards, commanded by Capt. Root, and a Band of Music to the State House; where the procession, consisting of the House and Foot Guards, the Sheriffs and Officers of Justice, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and both Houses of the General Assembly, and the Clergymen, was formed and, proceeded to the North Meeting-House, and attended divine service. The Sermon was delivered by the Rev. Cyprian Strong, of Chatham, from I Chron. xxix. 11. and was strongly characterized by the sound reasoning, the fervent patriotism, and the evangelical doctrines, which distinguish the performances of that worthy minister. The Music was directed by Mr. Benjamin, and we think has been rarely, if ever, excelled. After public worship was closed, the procession returned to the State-House, and the Legislature proceeded to count the votes of the Freemen for the officers of government, for the ensuing year. The military performances were on both Wednesday and Thursday, executed with a good degree of exactness, particularly in firing. We were sorry to observe, however, that the ranks in the Infantry were not filled. We should hope that so privileged a service would not fail of meeting with encouragement from our young men. The day passed without any untoward accident, to damp the pleasures which seemed to animate the countenance of the numerous collection of people assembled, to be the spectators of one of the most pleasing scenes ever exhibited in the world—a free and virtuous, and a happy people, met together, to clothe the most enlightened, and the most worthy of their fellow-citizens with the garb of magistracy.
The House of Representatives chose Elizur Goodrich, Esq. Speaker, and John C. Smith, and Calvin Goodward, Esqrs. Clerks, by large Majorities.—Scarce a vote could be found for any man, whose character wears the stamp of Jacobinism. The pomp of perverted declamation has lost its charms; the whining cant of hypocrisy meets with very general contempt; and it is to be hoped that ere long, the more dark, deep-laid villainies, of more wicked, as well as more artful men, will be exposed in all its deformity, and the state no longer disgraced by the election of men to any office of honor or profit, whose characters are not fair; men who will be base enough even to swear that they are federal, to obtain a seat in the legislature. In the evening, an excellent discourse was delivered at the North Meeting-House, to a very crowded auditory, by the Reverend Dr. Trumbull, of North Haven.
NEW-YORK, May 16.
A young English lad by the name of Robert, lately arrived from Surinam, on Tuesday evening, in a state of intoxication, went out at the kettle of Mrs. Babcock's house, in Pine-street, and threw himself into the yard, where he was found dead.—Verdict, accidental death.
Yesterday morning, a disfigured body of a man was taken out of Franklin's dock. From his having a thimble and some measures in his pocket, it is supposed he was a Taylor.—Verdict, accidental death.
SAVANNAH, May 3.
The fifth day of May being devoted to the Antiquarian Society of America, has on that account been usually kept as the anniversary of the military associations of this place. In conformity with this principle, the three volunteer corps of this town, consisting of the Artillery, under the command of Capt. Robertson; the Chatham Rangers, under the command of Capt. Young; and the Light-Horse, under the command of Capt. Gordon, on Wednesday met on parade, and went through several military manoeuvres, evincing their previous attention to discipline.
About 4 o'clock, the three companies fit down to dinner in convenient booths, erected for each, and in a line with each other,
on the south common. The Chief Justice of the United States, with several of the civil and military officers of this state, and a number of private gentlemen, were divided among the companies, as invited guests. After dinner, the toasts which were subjoined, were drunk by all the companies. A short interlude of music, from a Marquee, which was erected behind the booths, was the signal for a toast. The three first distinguished by a federal salute of 16 guns, and the others by three.
At sunset the companies retired in military order, leaving only a quarter guard to attend to their invited guests. During the whole day the utmost harmony in every respect prevailed, and at table a lively, but decent and social mirth, animated every countenance.
At the present period, when such efforts have been made by a foreign nation, to avail themselves of a spirit of party, which, unfortunately has had too much place among us—the unanimity of opinion of so large and respectable a portion of our fellow citizens—and the social and agreeable manner in which this was manifested, must give real pleasure to every friend of his country.

May 10. Yesterday evening we had the pleasure to see a French privateer anchor in our harbour. She is a prize to the United States armed brig Eagle, commanded by captain George H. Campbell, and was captured on the 5th ult. near the island of Antigua, after a five hours chase. She was fitted out at Guadalupe, and is called the Bon Pere, mounted 4 six-pounders, (two of which were thrown overboard during the chase) and had 55 men. She had been only a few days at sea, and had not captured any thing when captain Campbell met with her; no resistance was attempted by her crew. On approaching the city, the privateer saluted, and was answered by the Revenue Cutter, and three or four armed ships, lying at Five Fathom Hole. We learn that captain Campbell recaptured an English sloop, soon after he left our coast; and that since his arrival in the West-Indies he has captured a French privateer, which immediately went to pieces. The prize left him at St. Kitt's the 19th ultimo.
The trial of the prize will take place shortly.
Yesterday arrived the schooner Venner, captain Walshburne, 13 days from St. Thomas—on his passage here was chased by a French brig, but fortunately two British cruisers gave her a chance to escape, by which means he escaped.
Bridgetown, (Barbadoes) April 9. The frigate United States came into Carillo Bay yesterday evening. Since our last accounts of this vessel she had captured a French privateer, and recaptured an American vessel, and an English schooner of 16 guns, supposed to be worth about 20,000. sterling. Whatever good fortune attends commodore Barry will but increase the public esteem which he already possesses, as to see merit rewarded is the generous wish of every British bosom.
April 13. The Carterer packet, which we had anxiously expected for the last fortnight, was taken on the 29th ultimo, in lat. 13. 9. long. 56. 30. by the French privateer Duquesne, of 16 guns, but we are happy to add, and which is a further panegyric upon the American Navy, that she was recaptured on the 3d inst. by the Constitution frigate and sent into Martinico.
His Excellency Governor Ricketts breakfasted with Com. Barry on board the frigate United States on Tuesday morning, and was received with a complimentary salute on going on board; the Governor and the Commodore, and other respectable guests, after-
wards dined with Lieut. Col. Mayers, one of the Representatives for this town; and the day after the United States failed with the fleet from hence.
The watchful vigilance of the commanders of the American cruisers in these seas, while it promises to the United States a flourishing Navy, affords much protection to the British commerce of the West Indies, as by their indefatigable attention, several vessels of the enemy have been captured, and a great many English as well as Americans retaken.
CHARLESTON, May 4. Extract of a letter from London to the Editors of this Gazette.
"The political appearance of Europe is as gloomy as ever."
"It is generally believed here, there will be a new League in Germany as soon as English gold and Russian soldiers have strengthened the minds of some fearful temporizing foreigners."
"The conquest of Naples by the French is true; but I believe it will be of little duration, as there are Russian and English fleets in that part of Europe."
"Probably the union of Ireland will lay over for a time." "England bears its head high as ever.—The new tax on income, being just, is liked well by the majority of the people, and will enable Pitt to carry the war on till France is humbled, or till, with the downfall of England, we see the times of Huns and Vandals come again."
BALTIMORE, May 15.
A fracas took place on Monday evening last near the wind-mill hill, in which a person by the name of Robert Briscoe, by endeavouring to make peace between the parties, received a blow which unfortunately put a period to his existence. The perpetrators were two apprentices to the sail-making business, who immediately made off.
Arrived yesterday, sloop Betsey, captain Cuthman, of this port, the latter to sail in 3 or 4 days; and a Schooner belonging to Charleston.
The Elizabeth, belonging to Messrs. D. Stewart and Sons, from Leghorn, is in the river below.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 20.
A ship of 80 guns and two corvettes, built by the engineer Le Brun, were launched on the 15th ult. in spite of the cold. As soon as this operation was over, Commodore Sir Sydney Smith, who was present with a number of his officers, was admitted to a private audience of the Grand Signior. The result of this audience was an application which does honor to Sir Sydney Smith. It may be remembered that forty six French prisoners who had left Alexandria for Corfu, having anchored at Syphanta, were carried off by the inhabitants of that island, who took them to Constantinople, whence they were sent to prison. From this rigorous imprisonment they appealed to the British minister as prisoners to rear admiral Nelson at Aboukir, but as they could not support their assertion with any proof, Mr. Spencer Smith could only assure them that the Porte would set them at liberty as soon as they should have established the truth of their assertion. The commodore has however employed the greatest earnestness in soliciting the discharge of these men from the Porte, and he has obtained it. A detachment of soldiers were accordingly ordered from the Tyger to the ancient palace of France, where the English maintain them till they shall be sent home on their parole to this country.

HOLLAND, Miserable HOLLAND, drained by French friendship of every possession she enjoyed, is at last delivered up to the fury of the merciless element she emerged from. Deprived by French rapacity of the means, and by her disorganizing principles, of the method and subordination by which alone she subsisted, her dykes are broken down, and the sea is rushing in to revenge the brutal madness and intatuation under the influence of which she yielded to the empire of her execrable tyrants.
We are informed, that Major Strubing, and Captain Shaw, of the Potsgrove troop of Dragoons, have recently been attacked by armed ruffians in disguise, and nearly deprived of life.
London papers to the 27th March have been received at Halifax via Liverpool—The principal article of importance they contain, is a notification from Lord Grenville, declaring the ports of the Batavian republic to be in a state of blockade, and that all vessels entering after this notification, will be dealt with according to the law of nations.
Yesterday the Circuit Court was again engaged in hearing evidence and pleadings on the motion of Mr. Lewis for a new trial of John Fries, lately convicted of High Treason. Two or three hours were occupied in examining witnesses; after which, Mr. Lewis spoke at considerable length in support of the motion—when, finding himself indisposed, he begged to have leave to finish his discourse this day—which was granted, and the Court adjourned till this morning, ten o'clock.
MR. FENNO, In the Aurora of this morning the editor has misrepresented the transaction which took place at his office yesterday. He has stated that a number of persons to the amount of near thirty entered the office of the Aurora and assaulted him, while some of the band acted as centinels on the compositoris, and others with presented pistols kept some persons who happened to be in the office, at bay, and that he was stricken by above ten different persons. It is false that there were thirty, or near that number: there were but fifteen persons who called upon him for the purpose stated in your Gazette of yesterday. It is also false that he was stricken by above ten different persons. He received but three blows with the hand except the one he received in the office, and two of the three were from the same person. The stripes he afterwards received in behalf of the several troops, were with a cosakin and from the same hand.
The Editor of the Aurora did repeatedly and positively refuse to name a time when he would mention the troop alluded to by him in his publication of the 14th inst. He was pressed to name a time, which he also refused.
It is absolutely false that any one of the officers took with him a stick, sword, or pistol—Those who had usually carried sticks, were particularly careful to leave them behind. May 16.
The Grand Inquest of Montgomery county at May term 1799—after completing the business assigned them by the Court, took into consideration the importance of the ensuing general Election, and agreed to recommend to their fellow-citizens JAMES ROSS Esq. of Pittsburgh, as a suitable person to fill the office of Governor for the State of Pennsylvania.
