THE PROSPECTUS
OF A New Daily Paper, TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE OF THE OBSERVER, AND Daily Repository of useful Information.
IT will doubtless be deemed a hazardous undertaking to present to the public eye proposals for a new Gazette, when so many are already in possession of the public patronage.
News-papers so much more generally diffused throughout America than perhaps any other portion of the globe, may become either engines of mischief or the implements of usefulness—they disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thousands; and although it may be presumptuous in the Editor of that now-proposed to expect that its utility will be great, yet he may be admitted to declare, that it shall not willingly be made the means of doing evil. His endeavors will be applied to render The Observer in some degree conducive to the attainment of knowledge as well as to the communication of news—to enlighten the understanding—to improve the morals—to beget, or to confirm, a reverence for the sacred principles of Christianity. For this purpose it is intended—To furnish the most recent foreign and domestic intelligence; To give useful Prices Current at home and abroad, and other commercial information; To select from literary productions such portions as may gratify taste and induce improvement; To unfold and enforce found and just views of government; To aid the great interests of piety and morality. To present occasionally—Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agriculture and domestic economy; Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures; Reports of the Heads of Departments, and of interesting cases adjudged in the several courts of the United States, &c. Reviews of foreign and domestic literature; Anecdotes and characters of distinguished persons; Statistical tables; Meteorological observations; Appointments; Marriages, Births, Deaths. With these proposals the subscriber distinctly submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his native land, and viewing with anxious fears and hopes the success of a government created by the joint exertions of wisdom and virtue, and conducted with sound policy and genuine patriotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and national prosperity. CONDITIONS. I. The Observer shall be printed with a neat type, and on paper of equal size and quality with the present Philadelphia daily papers. II. It shall be published every evening, and regularly sent to the houses of the city subscribers—To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions. III. The price will be Eight Dollars per annum to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and directing their papers. IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the expiration of twelve months from the publication of the first number. The succeeding payments to be half yearly. V. Advertisements that do not exceed in length the breadth of the column, will be 67 cents for the first, and 33 cents for every additional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion. ZACHARIAH POULSON, jun. March 8, 1800. 1awtf.

QUESTIONS
To Merchants, Store keepers, and Tradesmen in general, &c.
1st. PRAY Gentlemen, is a perfect standard of discount, or interest, calculated on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, from one day to sixty-four days inclusive, of any value, whether used as a standard, or as a check upon the enquirers' own calculations? 2d Is it of any importance to know the best methods of computing the exchanges, between this country and the principal maritime trading place in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in several of the Windward and Leeward West India Islands, and many ports in the East Indies? 3d Is a table of all the coins and monies of account in the places aforesaid, of any use? 4th Are the coins and monies of account in the aforesaid places, when reduced to dollars and cents, of any service? 5th Is a table of compound interest of any utility? 6th Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable? 7th Is the amount of interest, accurately calculated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, of any value? 8th Is a table of all the post towns in the United States, and rates of postage therewith, of any use? 9th Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as ever entered a counting house or store? 10th Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 200 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars? And lastly, Is the person, who at the expence of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS undertakes to perform upwards of one hundred and sixty thousand calculations of interest, and of giving all the preceding information to the public in the most complete manner, deserving of your Encouragement and Support? If the answer is in the affirmative, you are individually and respectfully invited to subscribe in one of the specimen books, exhibited at the City Tavern, Haray's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Franklin Head, and at the George. It is proper to state, that the work will not be executed unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained; for four thousand dollars is too much to hazard. NOTHING IS TO BE PAID IN ADVANCE, neither will it be expected of subscribers to take the work when published, if it is not delivered rigorously conformable to my agreements with the public, expressed in the conditions annexed to the specimen books, each of which consists of six detached pages of the work. I am, with respect, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accountant, Bank of North America. POSTSCRIPT.

French Republic—Sovereignty of the People—Liberty—Equality. BUONAPARTE, first Consul of the Republic, to his Majesty the King of Great Britain and of Ireland.
Paris, the 5th Nivose, 8th year of the French Republic.
Called by the wishes of the French nation to occupy the first magistracy of the Republic, I think it proper, on entering into office, to make a direct communication of it to your majesty.
The war which for eight years has ravaged the four quarters of the world, must it be eternal? Are there no means of coming to an understanding?
How can the two most enlightened nations of Europe, powerful and strong beyond what their safety and independence require, sacrifice to ideas of vain greatness, the benefits of commerce, internal prosperity, and the happiness of families? How is it, that they do not feel that peace is of the first necessity, as well as of the first glory?
These sentiments cannot be foreign to the heart of your majesty, who reigns over a free nation, and with the sole view of rendering it happy.
Your majesty will only see in this overture my sincere desire to contribute efficaciously, for the second time, to a general pacification, by a step, speedy, entirely of confidence, and disengaged from those forms which, necessary perhaps to disguise the dependence of weak states, prove only, in those which are strong, the mutual desire of deceiving each other.
France and England, by the abuse of their strength, may, still, for a long time, for the misfortune of all nations, retard the period of their being exhausted. But I will venture to say it, the fate of all civilized nations is attached to the termination of a war, which involves the whole world.
Of your majesty,*
BUONAPARTE.
Downing Street, January 4, 1800.
Sir, I have received and laid before the King the two letters which you have transmitted to me, and his majesty seeing no reason to depart from those forms which have long been established in Europe for transacting business with foreign states, has commanded me to return in his name, the official answer which I send you herewith enclosed. I have the honor to be,
With high consideration, sir, Your most obedient humble servant. GRENVILLE.
To the Minister of foreign affairs, &c. &c. at Paris.
NOTE.
The king has given frequent proofs of his sincere desire for the re-establishment of secure and permanent tranquillity in Europe. He neither is, nor has been engaged in any contest for a vain and false glory. He had no other view than that of maintaining, against aggression, the rights and happiness of his subjects.
For these he has contended against an unprovoked attack; and for the same objects he is still obliged to contend; nor can he hope that this necessity could be removed by entering at the present moment into negotiation with those whom a fresh revolution has so recently placed in the exercise of power in France; since no real advantage can arise from such negotiation to the great and desirable object of General Peace, until it shall distinctly appear that those causes have ceased to operate, which originally produced the war, and by which it has since been protracted, and in more than one instance renewed.
The same system, to the prevalence of which France justly ascribes all her present miseries, is that which has also involved the rest of Europe in a long and destructive warfare, of a nature long since unknown to the practice of civilized nations.
* We do not comprehend the meaning of this sentence—it is however agreeable to the Charleston copy.
For the extension of this system, and for the extermination of all established governments, the resources of France have from year to year, and in the midst of the most unparalleled distress, been lavished and exhausted. To this indiscriminate spirit of destruction, the Netherlands, the United Provinces, the Swiss Cantons, (his majesty's friends and allies) have sufficiently been sacrificed. Germany has been ravaged: Italy, though rescued from its invaders, has been made the scene of unbounded rapine andarchy. His majesty has himself been compelled to maintain an arduous and burdensome contest for the independence and existence of his kingdoms.
Nor have these calamities been confined to Europe also—they have been extended to the most distant quarters of the world, and even to countries so remote both in situation and interests from the present contest, that the very existence of such a war was perhaps unknown to those who found themselves suddenly involved in all its horrors.
While such a system continues to prevail and while the blood and treasure of a numerous and powerful nation can be lavished in its support, experience has shown that no defence but that of open and steady hostility can be availing. The most solemn treaties have only prepared the way for fresh aggression; and it is to a determined resistance alone, that is now due whatever remains in Europe of stability for property, for personal liberty, for social order, or for the free exercise of religion.
For the security, therefore of these essential objects, his majesty cannot place his reliance on the mere renewal of general professions of pacific dispositions. Such professions have been repeatedly held out by all those who have successively directed the resources of France to the destruction of Europe; and whom the present rulers have declared to have been all, from the beginning, and uniformly incapable of maintaining the relations of amity and peace.
Greatly indeed will his majesty rejoice whenever it shall appear that the danger to which his own dominions and those of his allies, have been so long exposed, has really ceased: whenever he shall be satisfied that the necessity of resistance is at an end; that after the experience of so many years of crimes and miseries, better principles have ultimately prevailed in France; and that all the gigantic projects of ambition, and all the selfish schemes of destruction which have endangered the very existence of civilized society, have at length been finally relinquished; but the conviction of such a change, however agreeable to his Majesty's wishes, can result only from experience and from the evidence of facts.
From the best and most natural pledge of its reality and permanence, would be the restoration of that line of Princes which for so many centuries maintained the French nation in prosperity at home, and in consideration and respect abroad; such an event would at once have removed, and will at any time remove all obstacles in the way of negotiation or peace. It would confirm to France the unmolested enjoyment of its ancient territory; and it would give to all the other nations in Europe in tranquillity and peace, that security which they are now compelled to seek by other means.
But, desirable as such an event must be, both to France and to the world, it is not to this mode exclusively that his Majesty limits the possibility of secure and solid pacification. His Majesty makes no claim to prescribe to France what shall be the form of her government, or in whose hands the shall vest the authority necessary for conducting the affairs of a great and powerful nation.
His Majesty looks only to the security of his own dominions and those of his allies, and to the general safety of Europe—Whenever he shall judge that such security can in any manner be attained, as resulting either from the internal situation of that country, (from whose internal situation the danger has risen) or from such other circumstances of whatever nature as may produce the same end; his Majesty will eagerly embrace the opportunity to concert with his allies the means of an immediate and general pacification.
Unhappily no such security hitherto exists; no sufficient evidence of the principles by which the new government will be directed; no reasonable ground by which to judge of its stability. In this situation it can for the present only remain for his Majesty to pursue, in conjunction with other powers, those exertions of just and defensive war, which his regard to the happiness of his subjects will never permit him either to continue beyond the necessity in which they originated, or to terminate on any other grounds, than such as may best contribute to the secure enjoyment of their tranquillity, their constitution and their independence.
GRENVILLE.
Downing Street, January 4.
To the Minister of foreign affairs, &c. &c. at Paris.
PARIS, December 17.
Yesterday the new constitution was proclaimed and read publicly in Paris with military attendants. The following is the proclamation of the Consuls on the occasion.
The Consuls of the Republic to the French people. December 15.
"Frenchmen! A Constitution is presented to you."
"It puts an end to the uncertainty which the provisional Government occasioned with respect to foreign affairs, and to the internal and military state of the Republic."
"It places the first magistrates, whose devotion appears necessary to the well being of the State, in the institution which it establishes."
"The Constitution is founded on principles of Representative Government, on the sacred rights of Property, Equality and Liberty."
"The powers which it institutes will be strong and stable, such as they ought to be, to secure the rights of citizens and the interest of the State."
"Citizens, the revolution is fixed upon the principles on which it began.—It is at an end."
(Signed) Roger Ducos, Buonaparte, Sieyes, H. B. Maret, Sec. General.
December 24.
Never did any compact, submitted to the free acceptance of citizens, meet with a more unanimous reception than the constitution just presented. The wishes of the people have been constrained neither by timid uneasiness nor servile imitation. They have arisen from a sentiment of approaching happiness, and the hope of seeing it produced by new laws.
The number of suffrages expressed this day at Paris, only amounts to 30,000 citizens, and 15,000 among the army. Scarcely any have refused.
The following is a list of the members who compose the Conservative of the Senate, the Tribune, and the Council of State. They are not official, but they may be considered as authentic.

ANGERS, Dec. 3.
The Chouans extend from the left bank of the Loire to the left bank of the Seine. They form a line which covers a part of Lower Poitou, Anjou, Brittany, the Maine and Lower Normandy. Upon the left bank of the Loire they are commanded by M. Autichamp and M. Sufant. In Anjou by M. De Scepeaux. In the Maine by M. D. Bourmont; in Normandy by M. De Frotte. Brittany forms several divisions under different commanders. M. De Chatillon commands from Nantz on the right of the Loire to the Morbihan. The Morbihan is under the command of Gen. George. In the centre of Normandy M. De Grisolles commands—and the part which borders on Normandy is subjected to Gen. Monier. In this situation the Chouans form two lines, the foremost of which is most extended, and has its right in Poitou, its left in Normandy,

and presents a segment of an irregular circle, the circumference of which approaches more or less the provinces which surround Paris. The second is more concentrated, and occupies the space between the Loire and the Marne.
These divisions, though commanded by chiefs in some degree independent, maintain a close communication with one another, and act upon an uniform and concerted plan. They have adopted this system of moveable columns, which permits them to depart from different points in small platoons, so as to arrive at the same time, and by different roads, at the place fixed upon; and when they have attained their object, or when they have reason to fear a superior force, they retire in the same manner and disappear, every one going to resume his usual employments, so as again to collect on the first signal. The most perfect subordination prevails in these little armies, in which the breaches of military discipline are punished as in regularly trained forces. When the signal for assembling is given, every soldier carries with him his arms and a loaf, the villages through which they pass are forewarned, and have such a quantity of provisions in readiness as is proportioned to the number who must follow such a rapid road.
STUTGARD, Dec. 1.
We are assured that the courts of Spain and Berlin exert themselves in a very particular manner to procure peace to Europe. Spain appears to be charged with negotiations between France and Austria; and Prussia with those between France and England.
Legislative Commission of the Council of Five Hundred, Dec. 24.
Berenger made a report on putting the constitution into activity. After this report the commissions entered into the following resolutions:

1. Buonaparte, after a report, caused the following resolutions to be adopted.
No individual condemned to deportation, without previous sentence by the legislative act, can return to the territories of the republic under pain of being considered as an emigrant, unless authorized by an express permission from government, subjecting him to such a mode of being watched over as it may think convenient.
Note addressed to the Minister at War.
Angers 17 Frimaire, December 8. "The commander in chief of the army of England informs the minister at war, that the English have effected a disembarkation at Brest, towards the mouth of the river Vilaine. Gen. Harry, who commands the sub division of Morbihan, speedily advanced against the enemy, and kept up on them during the whole day, a continued fire from two four pounders, two eight pounders, and two howitzers. The enemy had 150 men killed, and 100 wounded."
NANTES, 24, Frimaire, Dec. 15.
The conferences of Conde for the pacification of the Chouans, having been prolonged longer than was expected, it is considered a good omen of its ultimate success. Several peasants of St. Luce, who had been carried off by the Chouans are returned home.
A few days ago there was an assembly of peasants convened by Lecourreux (I believe it was rather Moulebent). The object was to prevail on them to take up arms, but they refused, resolving to remain quiet. In the preceding war of La Vendée, that unhappy country suffered so cruelly by fire and sword, and pillage of every kind, that besides the loss of its population and the destruction of its agriculture, the farmers must be very averse to incurring anew the horrors of war.
D PARTMENT OF THE W. ST.
Trennisch Frimaire, Dec. 11.
The armed Royalists of the ci-devant province of the Orleansis, of the Maine, and Tourains, are almost all repairing to Lude, where they are cantoned.
A company under the orders of Captain Darriville arrived on the 17th at Boffe, principal town of the Canton, and invited the commander of the republican troops at St. Cala to a grand dinner. It is feared that much animosity prevailed among the guests.
Extract of a letter from an assistant to the adjutant general of the army of England.
Angers, 26 Frimaire, Dec. 17.
"I arrived here the 14th, sent from Rennes to the General in Chief Hedouville, on a mission relative to a pacification with the royalists. These latter escorted me to the gates of Angers, from their head quarters at Pouches. I travelled 16 leagues through them and their cantonments. They treated me exceedingly well, and we behaved to them in the same manner, when they came to us. I dined the day before yesterday with two of them, at the house of the General in Chief; I dined there again to day with some others.
I don't know when with Hedouville will send me back to Rennes. He keeps me here, no doubt, for some other mission. At least I suspect so. I don't know that a peace will eventually take place with the mal contents of these countries, who pretend that they have in the whole 150,000, but I doubt it very much. At all events it is not their number that alarms us. It is besides infinitely less than what they give out; but the great affliction that would attend the recommencement of hostilities is, the real misery which it must bring upon all these countries and their inhabitants. Their troops are in general very little disciplined. They are in general very badly clothed, badly armed, and badly equipped. Their cavalry is good for nothing, and all their artillery; of the latter I know of none, except a few pieces in Meribian, and those which they took at Mans. Defection and detection in the two parties may be considered as balancing them.
"Every day some of our soldiers desert, and every day some of the royalists come over to us. They maintain their troops very well; but they receive little or no pay. Such is this army of mal-contents, which has been suffered to grow up under our eyes. It is divided into five grand divisions, and occupies almost all ci-devant Normandy, under the command of Brune, whom I saw at Pouches, who is a man of remarkable form, between 28 and 30 years of age, and of a penetrating countenance. He commands also all the adjacent country. His division extends even to the confines of Paris.
"Trevalay commands on the side of the Maine, part of Anjou, and a part of ci-devant Brittany.
"Bourmont commands the Upper Maine, Upper Anjou, Touraine, and the adjacent countries.
"Chastillon commands Upper Brittany and Lower Anjou.
"Georges commands all Lower Brittany, and principally Morbihan. This Georges is the only one of the Generals in Chief who is of what they call the tier-etat. He has a very considerable force under him, and is high in their confidence.
"Dautcamp commands the whole left bank of the Loire, which comprehends La Vendee, &c. It may appear from these details, that there are six principal Chiefs, but I think that Prevay is only a secondary one under the command of Chastillon."
PAVIA, November 29.
The trenches were opened on the 26th before Coni. The Austrians lost only 125 men on that occasion. The wo ks of the siege continue with the greatest activity. The French garrison in this place amounts to about 2400 men. The Prince de Leichtenstein directs the siege, and Field Marshal Ott commands the corps destined to protect it.
General Bellegarde has taken possession of the bridge of Nova, which secures to him possession of O mea. It is supposed that he will to morrow attack the St. Bernard, while General Ott will attempt to make himself master of the Col di Tende.
DUBLIN, December 24.
It was on Wednesday last reported in London, that government were in possession of the outlines of the peace now negotia-
ting between Austria and France. The articles of the treaty of Leoben or Campo Formio, are said to be the basis, with exception of the city and fortress and Mantua, which the Emperor is to retain; the cession of Venice and its territory, with some additions to be confirmed, it being now an object of much magnitude to the cabinet of Vienna, on account of the revival of the Venetian commerce with Egypt, which for two centuries has suffered more from the barbarous oppressions of the Turks and Mamelukes, than from the discovery of the direct navigation to India by Vasco de Gama.
Propositions from France it is said, have come to England, recommended by the cabinet of Berlin, an acquiescence in which would obtain a reasonable peace on the continent, in return for the restoration of certain colonial possessions we now hold. Projects of this nature were hinted at by Lord Malmsbury, and the French, it is said, have seized upon them. But perhaps the British cabinet will not now listen to those terms.
Several vessels have of late arrived, direct from Malaga, by which there have been large supplies of Spanish wines and fruits, and we are pleased to find, that they have also brought considerable quantities of barilla, with some Spanish wool, and other valuable raw materials. Thus we find, that though it is a time of war between Great Britain and Spain, yet a commercial intercourse is still kept up, and vast quantities of British woollen, and Irish linens, likewise find their way into the latter country, thro' the medium of Portugal, and by neutral vessels.
A letter from the northward of Bengal says, "The customs and manners of the natives of this part of India differ materially from all others. Whenever any of the Rajahs, magistrates or principal men die, they dig a large cave for the deceased, in which they inter his women, attendants and servants, and some of the magnificent equipage and useful furniture which he possessed in his life time, such as elephants, gold and silver, large fans, carpets, clothes, victuals, lamps, with a great deal of oil, and a torch bearer, for those articles as necessary stores for a future state.
The quotation of dollars has re-appeared in the London bullion list, at five and five pence half-penny per ounce, or about four shillings and three pence the dollar, as this coin generally weighs about 16 penny wts. Several thousands were on Tuesday last, meted out of the Bank of England for Germany and Flanders, but none for Ireland.
The Bank of England by the small profit of three half pence the ounce on the prize dollars, it is computed will net 20,000.
December 31.
We, the undersigned freeholders of the county of Leitrim, being disappointed in our expectation that our country would long since have been chazzened, pursuant to a requisition delivered to the Sheriff for that purpose, to take into consideration the question of a legislative union with Great Britain, feel ourselves called upon to express our repudiation of the unconstitutional means made use of to obtain private signatures to an apparent and delusive approbation of that measure, which we conceive should receive a deliberate and solemn discussion in a general meeting of the freeholders of the county. We, therefore, after having in vain solicited such county meeting, in order to convey our sentiments on that question in the most constitutional manner; and being apprehensive lest our silence should be construed into an approbation of practices and opinions, of which we most decidedly disapprove, conceive it to be a duty necessarily imposed upon us thus publicly to declare our opinion, that a legislative Union with Great Britain must be fraught with ruin to the constitutional independence, commercial interests, and general prosperity of this kingdom; and that this measure by depriving us of a resident and protecting legislature, under which our country has hitherto prospered beyond example—by increasing the number of absenteeees, and the consequent gain of our wealth must augment the discontent of the kingdom, and thereby endanger the connexion between Great Britain and Ireland, which we are determined to support and maintain with our lives and fortunes.

DIED.
On Sunday the 2d inst. in the 24th year of her age, Miss SARAH MURRAY, second daughter of General Francis Murray, of Newtown, Bucks county. Her illness was tedious, continuing nearly three months, and very painful, which she endured with exemplary fortitude and patience; and when the fatal hour coming to a crisis, bade her last adieu to her sorrowful surviving friends, with a firm and calm composure of mind, which would have done honor to aged piety, and so experienced christianity, while in weak accents she communicated the last advice of parting friendship, and her earnest wishes for their future welfare. Her sprightly vivacity of temper and improved good sense rendered her an entertaining and pleasing companion in life, and sincerely lamented in death.
BALTIMORE, March 19.
Arrived, Schooner Mentor, Hodgkiss, 14 days from Cape Francois.
Feb. 28th, 1800, off Cape Francois, spoke the frigate United States; at which time the United States' brig Augusta, was in sight.
In lat. 27, 28, long. 73, 15, W. spoke Schooner America, captain Pike, 6 days from Savannah bound to Jamaica.
The following letter was received by captain Samuel H. Hodgkiss, from Commodore Talbot, in order to its being made public throughout the United States.
United States frigate Constitution, at Sea, near the Island of St. Domingo, 28th of February, 1800.
SIR, I request that it may be made known, throughout the United States, that in consequence of the increased number of general Rigaud's armed boats, up the Guanaba (or what are otherwise called the Bites of Leon-gane), I have directed a frigate, and a small armed vessel of fourteen guns, to continue cruising there, for the protection of the commerce of the United States to and from Port Republic.
This arrangement of a part of our force in these seas will afford a convoy to all American vessels, that are on their homeward bound passage, from Port Republic—But as our vessels engaged in merchandise, go out directly and promiscuously to Port Republic, they cannot be immediately protected.
They are, consequently, exposed to be attacked, captured, and their crews most probably be massacred by the black pirates, who infest this bay, and who but seldom spare the lives of any on board they subdu. To prevent this mischief as much as possible, I recommend to the consideration of all those gentlemen that are concerned in commerce to Port Republic, or its neighbourhood, whether it may not be best to direct all their vessels, destined for this said port, to stop at Cape Francois, and obtain permission to go into Cape Nicholas Mole, and there to wait a convoy, which probably may not be many days, as one of our public armed vessels will sail from thence to Port Republic every 14 days, and will take under her convoy all such American vessels as may be disposed to profit thereby.
By adopting this measure, it is likely that the length of their passage to Port Republic will be increased from about three to twelve days, and that there will be also an increase of expense about three half joes, for a permit and harbour fees.
I mention this, that gentlemen may be the better able to judge, whether it will be more for their interest to adopt this plan, or continue to risk a direct passage to Port Republic without convoy.
As far as my knowledge extends, not one American vessel has been captured by the French, on the St. Domingo station, since our armed ships have been on its coast, except in the bay before mentioned, along the shores of which, particularly near St. Marks, these piratical boats are so closely concealed in the creeks and among the bushes, that no one on board a vessel going along the channel, can discover them; while from the lookouts on the hills, the enemy can perfectly well observe every thing that passes by. If a vessel is becalmed (and which, perhaps, is more commonly the case in this bay, than in any other part of the West Indies) those boats are sure to come out in all directions from their hiding places to attack such vessels; and it has been shown by the gallant defence lately made against them by Lieut. Maley, in the United States' Schooner Experiment, when attacked by eleven of those armed boats, that perfect protection cannot be extended to a whole convoy against those boats, in such a long and flat calm as that which was then experienced. It is also shown that though two out of this convoy were captured, notwithstanding the bravery and perfect good conduct of this officer, in an action of several hours, (with some information) in which conflict two of the enemy's boats were sunk—that all these vessels then under convoy, must have been taken, and their crews butchered, was it not for the protection such convoy afforded.

WILLIAM COBETT
TAKES this method of apprizing those persons who left books with him (in the philanthropic city of Philadelphia) to be sold on commission, that the part of their property which remained unsold on the 20th of December last, was attached, in the hands of Mr. John Morgan, at the suit of one Ruffs , treasurer of the Mint, and inventor of the famous mercurial purging powders. And he further informs the owners of the said property, so attached by the said treasurer of the Mint, that, unless they, or their representatives, come forward and replevy the said property, or before the return of the same is made to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the said property will be liable to be sold for the benefit of the said Ruffs , in part payment of the famous 5000 dollar, lately awarded to the said treasurer and powder inventor, by a Philadelphia jury. And, that the parties concerned may not be at a loss to know what they ought to claim, a list of their names and also of the several articles attached as aforesaid, is herewith subjoined; to wit:
 1. WILLIAM SMITH, Esq. American Ambassador at the Court of Portugal, is informed that eight copies of his work on the American Constitutions, are in jeopardy, as above mentioned; and also a large bundle of his detection of Jefferson, and his defence of the character and conduct of John Adams.—When Mr. Smith was taking so much pains in making this defence, he little imagined that its circulation was to be put a stop to by an attachment on the part of a man appointed to a fat office by Mr. Adams!  2. A person whom I have forgotten is requested to replevy a dozen or two of copperplate heads of John Adams!—These are very valuable. They will, in a few years time, be regarded as precious as the hairs of Julius Cæsar. I much wish, therefore, that the treasurer of the Mint may not yet have an opportunity of exposing them for sale among the profane vulgar.  3. SAMUEL HARRISON SMITH is told to replevy, or to let it alone, just which he pleases, 38 magazines, sent for him and received by me, from Messrs. Pritchard and Davidson of Richmond, Virginia.—Those if sold for their real worth, would fetch about a penny a score.  4. ROBERT FIELD is told to replevy 35 caricatures of Talleyrand & Co. coloured.  5. Some one whom I have forgotten will please to claim 13 Sermons to the Jews.  6. Mr. Campbell (the author) will claim 8 Soldier's Companion.  7. Poor Mrs. Pepper will please to claim 16 copies of her husband's poems.  8. Mr. Ustick will claim 2 Acre of Credulity.  9. Mr. Ormerod will claim 2 vols. of Bache's maternal Gazette.  10. Some one whom I have forgotten will claim a volume of Oswald's paper.  11. Some one whom I have forgotten will claim 11 copies of appeal to matter of fact and Common Sense.  12. Mr. Hensfrey will please to claim 13 copies of a plan for working mines.  13. The author will claim 20 copies of the House of Wisdom in a battle; or the spitting in Congress, a Poem.  14. The author will claim 11 essays on the Yellow Fever in Baltimore.  15. Monsieur Le Grange will claim 3 vols. d'un Journal Durant un séjour en France.  16. Any body that pleases may claim a bundle of the address of the Virginia Minority about Alien and Sedition Bills.  17. Robert Goodloe Harper may claim, if he likes, two or three books sent to him, thro' me, from a gentleman in London.  18. Thomas B. Janson of New-York will claim a bundle of Poems.  19. Mrs. Charleton will please to claim 10 copies of thoughts on the 2 witnesses.  20. Mr. James Humphreys will claim a bundle of the Coal Black Maid, Secret Tribunal, and Burke's letter to the Duke of Bedford.  21. The author will claim 22 copies of Gurney's Brachygraphy improved—6 do. bound.  22. The publisher will claim 4 politicians, a tragic comedy—republican.  23. The author, Mr. Trumbull, will claim a bundle of his visit to Philadelphia Prison; but, if the Treasurer of the Mint should happen to sell them, Mr. T. may easily supply the loss by reading the much truer and more entertaining visit of Patrick Lyon.

WATER-OFFICE.
Centre Square, February 5, 1800.
In compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought reasonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by showing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.

That in obedience to recent instructions received from his government, it is the duty of all Masters of Swedish and Danish vessels, before their sailing from any port in the said States, to call upon him or the Vice Consul, in order to be granted such Certificates, for their Cargoes, which the exigency of the state of the Neutral Commerce, and the several Decrees of the Belligerent Powers, render indispensable necessary, and that any Master of vessels belonging to the respective nations, or navigating under the protection of their flags, in omitting to take such certificates, will personally stand responsible for the consequences.
RICHARD SODERSTROM, Philadelphia, 18th December, 1799.
Eighty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the Subscriber, at New-town, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 23d January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto female child, about two years old, named Arianna. Nanny is a dark yellow negro, about five feet four or five inches high, remarkably handsome for a negro. Her clothing unknown as she took a variety of good cloaths with her. She went off with a negro fellow, named Peter, and calls himself Peter Simpson, he is the property of a certain William Boyers of Talbot county, state as above, who has advertised one hundred dollars reward for him. Peter is a stout well made yellow fellow, about 6 feet one inch high, is a tolerable good Carpenter. Nanny passes for his wife, but her real husband is named Bob, who belongs to her master. It is probable they are in the neighbourhood of Salem in the Jerseys, as they were there in October last, and by information, Peter had built himself a house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed, as Peter can write a middling hand; it is probable Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away.
The noted Ferry-man Charles, who calls himself Charles Rodney; he went off on the 18th of February last, he is a dark mulatto, about five feet eight or nine inches high, about forty years old; hoofs in his shoulders when he walks, a scar on his head very perceptible—he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years old, her mane trimmed and bob tail'd; his clothing unknown, as he carried off a variety of cloaths; it is probable he has changed his name, as he is a very artful, sensible fellow, he can read tolerably well; it is likely he may have hired himself to drive a wright, being well acquainted with that business, driving for the army during the war; he also perhaps may have a wife.
The above reward will be given for the afore-said two negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if taken out of the state, or twenty dollars, for Nanny and child, if taken in this state, & 20 do. Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again. If brought home all reasonable charges shall be paid by me.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A SOVEREIGN REMEDY
For Colds, obdurate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthma, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (for sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breath and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are convinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, loosens the acrimonious humours, which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the
HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DR. HAMILTON'S Genuine Essence and Extract of MUSTARD.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, &c. a great number of attested cures may be seen at the place of sale. Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative for constitutions debilitated by intemperance of any kind; and for the cure of Nervous Complaints, Inward Weaknesses, Obsolete Gleet, Fluor Albus in women, &c.
Hamilton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Itch Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops which have never failed effecting a cure, Dr. Hahn's Antiphlogistic Pill, ditto Corn Plaster, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Gowland's Lotion, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE
Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c, speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour 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.
Those who wish to procure the medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above.
Wholesale purchasers will receive a liberal allowance by application to LEE & Co. Baltimore, who have obtained the general agency for the United States.
