Eighty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New- town, Chester County, Queen Anne's county, a negro man, 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 herself Peter Simpson, he is the pro- perty of a certain William Bowers 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 Sa- lem in the Jerseys, as they were there in Octo- ber last, and by information, Peter had built himself an house to live in, between Run Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed as Peter and Nanny a middling hand; it is pro- bable Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away. He noted Ferry man Charles, who calls him self 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, hoop in his shoulders when he walks, a scar on his head very perceptible—he took with him a small boy about four or 5 years old, his name trimmed and bob tail'd; his clothing unknown, as he carried off a va- riety 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 waggon, being well ac- quainted with that business; driving for the ar- my 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 a child, if taken in this state, & 2 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. JOHN QUIMBY. March 3. w&ls4w.

A SEASONABLE ARTICLE.
JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE BY WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A SOVEREIGN REMEDY For Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asth- mas, Sore-throats, and approaching Con- sumptions.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above com- plaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (or 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 symp- toms; 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 evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SIN- GLE 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 stri- king at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently con- quered, 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.

THE DAMASK LIP SALVE
Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chapped and sore lips, and every blemish and in- convenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c, speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and deli- cate 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 foul- ness, 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. Balti- more, who have obtained the general agency for the United States. Feb. 26. eotw 23wtf.

With respect to the accuracy of the Tables, too much cannot be said, and I pledge myself that a PREMIUM of not less than one hundred dollars shall be offered to the first person who shall inform me of a single error of one cent, according to the principle acted upon.  To do away all doubt with respect to the expenses of the undertaking, I do most solemnly declare that they will amount to very near FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, and perhaps more, in depth of any remuneration for my own trouble in the arduous business, and the great expense already incurred for specimens, proposals, advertisements, hand-bills, &c. &c.

The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless being of opinion from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be ascertained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trifling degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meeting of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the number of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.
From the universal approbation exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the subscriptions returned would have ensured its immediate execution, and the commissioners are persuaded if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their punctual return at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no farther delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their execution during the course of the ensuing summer.

There runs a bruit that orders go out from New York by the United States ship Portsmouth, for the disruption of any negotiation which may have been commenced with the present Ruler of France; and that the Pacific Committee are to return home in said Portsmouth. We wish to be understood, as merely echoing a public rumor in this instance. If so wise, so necessary and so noble a step has been taken, "Troy yet may live."
Commodore Truxton has with unrivalled prowess, obtained for the arms of America, a second splendid triumph. The glory he has acquired, and the inestimable services he has rendered to his country, do most naturally expose him to the fullest force of democratic calumny and malice. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the adherents to the federal cause, that cause which he has so amply contributed to rescue from supineness, and re-invigorated into life, will no longer continue their neglect of an enterprising, and gallant man; but, by advancing to join him, on that ground he has so nobly assumed, dispel the vapors of uncertainty, and the mists of pacification.
"An old officer who was at the siege of Savannah," is desired to back with his name the assertion he makes concerning the courageous conduct of the Orator of the Human Race, on that occasion.
Of all the various departments of civil economy, the most essential to the well-being of a state, is, unquestionably, that of education. Amongst an enslaved people, indeed, like those of Great Britain, whose yoke we happily cast off, education can be but of little value; since the light which it imparts, serves only to aggravate a man's slavery by imparting to him the knowledge that it is in his power to be free; and those universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and Edinburgh, Dublin, &c. &c. do thus subservient to earthly purpose, but to foster defenders and supporters of that miserable slavery, under which they gained all their acquirements. Thus it is given, it is always received back in full, and thus a system of slavery is propagated and prolonged. But in a free country, like ours, its importance is above all estimation. For although it is not necessary to a man's own peace, that he should feed on the delights which are bred in a book, yet it cannot well be imagined how the welfare of a great community can be compassed, out by rearing up thro' the means of well-ordered universities, or otherwise, men of sense and virtue, on whom, in these dark and dreary days of ignorance and desolation to repossess for counsel, and rely for our deliverance.
AN ADVICE.
I think, Americans, though past moments are not to be recalled, past errors may be re-pented. Have you not daily provocations to war? Let the memory of oversights, by which you have suffered so much, instruct you to be more vigilant in the present danger.—Had your resolutions the virtue to compass what you intend, you would not see the efforts of the French multiply as they do, and upon every—nor would she be in a condition to outrun and affront you in such a public manner. Proceed, then, to support your deliberations with vigour: You have heads capable of advising what is best; you have judgment and experience to discern what is right; and you have power and opportunity to execute what you determine. What time so proper for action! What occasion so happy! And when can you hope for such another, if this be neglected? Has not the Directory, contrary to all treaties, insulted you both by land and sea? and still continues to ravage?—Is not the French an implacable enemy? a faithful ally? the usurper of your rights, to which they have no title nor pretence? a stranger, a barbarian, a tyrant? and indeed what are they not? In truth, if recovering from inactivity, you would assume the freedom and spirit of your ancestors; if you would be your own soldiers and your own commanders, no longer considering your affairs in mercenary hands, the world might, once more, behold you making a figure worthy of Americans. Yes, fellow citizens, you should make it a standing rule, that no person whatever, should be the better for the public money, who should hesitate to employ it for the public service. Are you in peace? The public is charged with your subsistence. Are you in war, or under a necessity as at this time, to enter into a war? Let your gratitude oblige you to accept, as pay, what you receive in peace, as a mere bounty. And without abolishing any thing but pernicious novelties; by converting for the future, the funds for the use of the serviceable, which are spent upon the unprofitable.—You may be well served in your armies; your troops regularly paid; justice duly administered; the public revenues increased; and every member of the commonwealth rendered useful to his country. This is what prompted me to represent to you upon this occasion—May the God of all nations inspire you to determine upon such measures as may be most expedient for the public and private good. Then let all as one man, and with one voice shout: Let us march against France; let us fight for our liberties; let us conquer or die. A SOLDIER.
Information is received in town from Curacao, stating, on the authority of a vessel arrived there from Lisbon, that the frigate U. States, Commodore Barry, having the commissioners on board, had proceeded from thence to some port in France; the Secretaries of the Embassy having previously departed from Lisbon for Paris. The letter from Curacao is said to be from the American Consul at that port.

BALTIMORE, March 25.
Extract of a letter from on board the U. S. Schooner Enterprise, of 14 guns, commanded by lieutenant Shaw, to a gentle man in this city.
"On the 17th December, we left our capes, with a moderate breeze from the S.W. but it shortly increased to a violent gale, accompanied by quantities of rain; and having a new vessel and raw hands, had soon many difficulties to encounter. We lost one man overboard, besides springing our foremast, but had it condemned by a surveyor, as being unfit to proceed to sea with. On the 19th January, procured another mast in Martinice, and then proceeded to St. Kitts with a convoy of 15 sail. Hauled up for a brig we saw under Guadaloupe, which flew a Swedish jack. As we had every reason to suppose her a French vessel, beat all hands to quarters, the usual mode we adopt on seeing a strange sail. We gave her a gun, and flew our colours, but she kept her wind to the southward, until we had fired 14 shot at her, when she hauled down her colours and came under our lee. She proved to be a Swedish brig of 20 12 pounders and 90 men. After examination, let her proceed."
"The 19th were ordered out on a cruise. On the 22d re-captured the Schr. Victory, with a valuable cargo, from Norfolk, bound to Antigua, 5 days in possession of the French. On the 24th, re-captured the brig Andreocoggin, of Topsham, 6 days in possession of the French. They both arrived safe in St. Kitts. On the 26th instant, we proceeded to Curacao, with dispatches from Commodore Truxton, to Capt. Baker of the Delaware. She is in port with many of her men sick."
"I hope the crew of the Enterprise will support our motto—and as for failing nothing in these seas can run away from us."

(Copy.)
TO A. J. DALLAS, Esq.
SIR,
I enclose you a copy of the resolution of the Senate passed yesterday, and must request you would favour me, by appearing with Mr. Cooper as my counsel to-morrow at 12 o'clock. You know that it was not from a conviction of their possessing constitutional authority to order my attendance that I appeared yesterday, but from a sense of delicacy towards this branch of the legislature, which would not permit me to carry an appearance of disrespect towards them, even when they were acting under error.
I fear the resolution inclosed will prevent me from deriving all the benefit from your assistance which I had a right to expect from your acknowledged abilities, and the justice of my cause. I am, Sir, &c.
WILLIAM DUANE.
Aurora-Office March, 25, 1800.
A similar letter was addressed to Thomas Cooper, Esq.
(Mr. Dallas's Answer.)
SIR,
As it is my general rule to render professional services whenever they are required I think it proper to state explicitly, the reason of a departure from that rule, in the case now depending before the Senate of the United States.
The Senate having as I understand, charged you with the publication of a libel, proceeded without hearing you, or notifying you of the charge, to decide that you were the Editor of the publication, that the publication was false, malicious &c. and that it amounted to a breach of the legislative privileges of the body. Before, however any punishment shall be inflicted, or any sentence pronounced, the Senate has been pleased to summon you to the Bar; and, upon your application, to allow you the assistance of counsel, who may be heard in denial of any facts charged against you, or in excuse or in extenuation of your offence.
Though I mean not to question the wisdom and justice of the Senate, in any part of the proceeding, I cannot consent to act as counsel under so limited an authority:
For you will at once perceive, that it excludes any enquiry into the jurisdiction of the Senate to take cognizance of offences of the nature imputed to you, as well as any justification of the obnoxious publication, by proving the truth of the facts which it contains. As to the rest, I cannot suppose that either you, or your counsel, would find it practicable to deny the existence of any fact, which the Senate has already (doubtless upon sufficient evidence) examined and established; and the language of excuse, or extenuation, must always proceed with better grace, and more advantage from the penitent offender, than from a professional advocate.
Under these circumstances I do not think that I could render you any service by accompanying you to the bar of the Senate; while I confess, that I should feel the situation degrading to the profession, as well as to myself.
I am, Sir, Your most obedient Humble Servant, A. J. DALLAS. Philadelphia, March 23, 1800.
(Cooper's Answer.) Philadelphia, March 25, 1800.
SIR, I have every inclination to render service to you and to your cause, but I will not degrade myself by submitting to appear before the Senate with their gag in my mouth. The resolution you have transmitted to me, precludes all hope of my doing any good to you or the public, or any credit to myself by complying with your request.
I heard sufficient of the debate yesterday to understand (before I saw your letter) that the intent and meaning of the resolution, is to preclude all argument on the jurisdiction of the Senate, and all proof that might be offered in justification of the allegations complained of. Indeed I do not much wonder at the latter preclusion; for I cannot help thinking from the evidences you stated to me, that had we been allowed to have given proof of the facts in justification, the public would have been well instructed in the doctrine and practice of GAGUES, from the very best and most unexceptionable authority.
But, to appear before a tribunal, which in a new and most important case has prejudged the material questions between you, which in the capacity of accuser has claimed a right to dictate the mode of defence to the person accused—which has forbidden's to enter upon what I cannot but regard as the unanswerable part of your vindication, and left you no ground to take word contending for—which, as a tribunal in this country of unknown, unprecedented, and undefined authority, will bear no objection to its jurisdiction, and admit no proof of the facts it controverts—under such circumstances to attend at the bar of that tribunal, an advocate intruded from defence, a tame and manacled assistant, might serve indeed to excite a malignant smile among the enemies of liberty, but would certainly tend to disgrace your cause and my character.
I cannot think you will be able to procure any professional assistance on such strange and unusual terms; nor can I see of what use professional assistance could be to you, under the restrictions which the Senate have thought fit to impose; nor do I see (if you appear before them unattended by legal friends) with what prudence or propriety you can reply one word to any question they may chuse to put. Where rights are undefined, and power is unlimited, where the freedom of the press is actually attacked, under whatever intention of curbing its licentiousness, the melancholy period cannot be far distant when the citizen will be converted into a subject.
I am, Sir, your friend and servant, THOMAS COOPER.
To the President of the Senate.
SIR, I beg of you to lay before the Senate this acknowledgement of my having received an authenticated copy of their resolutions on Monday last in my case. Copies of those resolutions I transmitted to Messrs. Dallas and Cooper, my intended counsel, soliciting their professional aid; a copy of my letter is inclosed, marked A. Their answers I have also the pleasure to enclose, marked B and C.
I find myself in consequence of these answers deprived of all professional assistance, under the restrictions which the Senate have thought fit to adopt; I therefore think myself bound by the most sacred duties to decline any further voluntary attendance upon that body, and leave them to pursue such measures in this case as in their wisdom they may deem meet.
I am, Sir, With perfect respect, WILLIAM DUANE.
Lieutenant Rush is informed that Mary Burgess, corner of Almond and 2d streets, better known by the name of Mrs. Ravara, was the Author of the anonymous publication which appeared in this Gazette on Tuesday evening last. Mr. J. B. Bond and Lieutenant Reynolds, disclaim any acquaintance with her, nor was she authorized in using their names.
If the piece alluded to were written by the above mentioned woman, it is unnecessary that any thing further be said; if it were written or instigated by any other person not a female, Lt. Rush declares that person to be a coward and a puppy.

Philadelphia Academy. SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice-Provost of the College of Philadelphia, AND JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's, INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 15th of next month, (April)
An Academy, CONSISTING OF 1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Natural History. 2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry and Trigonometry, with their application to Mensuration, Surveying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy, &c.—Also, the Principles of Mechanics, Algebra and Fluxions. 3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar-School Education, the Seminary now proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful.
Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and excited the most flattering expectations of its success.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor to conduct this Seminary of Learning, as to subserves the great interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberality of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and found literature, constitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman, and the scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situation, if such a change should be found necessary.
A master of distinguished abilities will be procured to conduct the Mathematical Department.
Persons desirous to be employed as Tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the Subscribers, to whom also Parents wishing to send their children, will please to make application.

FACTS Submitted to public consideration, as additional evidences of the efficacy of Dr. HAMILTON'S MEDICINES, IN THE CURE OF Most Disorders to which the human body is liable. RHEUMATISM.
JOHN HOOVER, Rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows: namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life; notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted. When being several cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mullard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.
Sworn and subscribed to the 28th day of March, 1800, before Ebenezer Ferguson, Esq. one of the Justices of the Peace for Philadelphia county.
DANGEROUS COLD.
DAVID GILBERT, Toyman, No. 46, South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath, as follows: namely, that about eight months ago, he caught a severe cold, which resisted every remedy he could think of, and produced the most alarming effects; he could procure no rest for incessant coughing, nor breathe without great pain and difficulty, and was finally so exhausted, as to be scarcely able to walk about, which left his friends little hope of his recovery, though the prescriptions of a respectable physician were constantly attended to. In this situation hearing of the efficacy of Hamilton's Elixir, a bottle was procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street; the first dose of which afforded the most surprising relief, and gave him more ease than he had enjoyed during the whole of the above period, he continued the contents of one bottle, was taken, he was perfectly cured, his strength and appetite recovered, and not a symptom of his former distressing complaint remained.
The above particulars the said David Gilbert will be ready to make public, as a testimony of his gratitude, and for the benefit of mankind.
Sworn and subscribed before me the 24th day of March, 1800.
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.
WORMS.
A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wiley, No. 109, Cedar Street, Philadelphia, was dreadfully afflicted with worms, inasmuch that her life was with great reason despaired of; her complexion faded and grew pale and sallow; her eyes sunken; her appetite was lost, and succeeded by a painful and constant sickness at the stomach; which general wasting and debility was accompanied with every appearance of a dangerous fever. From this deplorable situation she was relieved, and restored to a state of perfect health and strength in a few days, by the use of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, which expelled a great number of large pointed worms, from six to nine or twelve inches in length; one of which being a most extraordinary thickness, (suspended from half an inch to an inch in diameter) was opened and found to contain a quantity of young ones.
The above is communicated by Mr. Wiley, believing its perusal may be useful to many, by extending the knowledge of a medicine which merits universal attention: But this testimony is only a corroborator of the evidence of more than FIFTY THOUSAND persons of all ages, who have, within twenty months past, been cured by this medicine, with the utmost ease and safety, of various complaints, arising from worms and from obstructions or toucins in the stomach and bowels.
Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indulgences, reference in climates unfavourable to the constitution; the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the willful or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at certain period of life; bad living, &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely indispensable in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions, loss of appetite, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, femoral weakness, obtinate gleets, flaut sibus (or whistlers) impotence, barrettes, &c.
This medicine is perfectly different in its qualities and operation from those hot and irritating drugs so frequently proposed for similar purposes, and which only recommend themselves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which, acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly produce greater evils than those they are intended to remove.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and leading from that organ new health, and vigour into every part of the system. It rectifies and purifies the blood without inflaming it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; brings back the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which immoderate evacuations have destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The Restorative is absolutely y above all recommendation, in removing those weaknesses and intricacies with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate femoral gleets; and the most distressing cases of flaut sibus in females falls particularly under the province of this restorative; speedily yield to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humors, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organs.
In cases of extremity where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impairment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no other restorative or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
The grand restorative is prepared in pills as well as in a fluid form, which affords considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any climate.

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.
