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 WARE of the deprecations made on every public medicine of established repute 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 was also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the first 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, have 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. 119 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 Hutchinson, Lancaster, A. C. Jorden, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, I. & J. Manitz, Fredericktown, Maryland, G. W. Mancini, Albany, Dr. Vanfollen, New-York, Messrs. Titford & Son, do. Messrs. Rofs & Douglas, Pittsburgh, John Webster, 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. 119, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13.

INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT TO  AMERICANS.
Appendix to Dr. Morse's Sermon.
HERE follow the observations of the member of Congress, before mentioned, made at Philadelphia while the points were in dis- cussion. I relate them in his own words and order. Made at the time they were, and under circumstances so advantageous for knowing the truth, and with such authen- tic and full evidence to support them, his observations cannot fail to have great weight with all candid readers.
Mons. Chevalier de Luzerne memorialized Congress last year (1792) in favor of the Tories, and endeavored to prepare Congress for the articles which they expected to be able to insert in the treaty of peace, for making compensation to, and admitting them into our country and councils.—The con- duct of the chevalier of Marbois, and the principal French characters in America, was in conformity to this plan, endeavoring to cultivate an acquaintance and friendship be- tween them and the Tories. The loyal prin- ciples of the Tories, their fondness for royal- ty, their numerous connexions and acquaint- ance, all these made it an object of im- portance to provide for and secure those people to the French interest. For this pur- pose, and to secure other points, the French minister preferred Congress to give the dis- graced instructions to our ministers, to be governed ultimately by the French court as to the terms of peace. They feared that at the peace an independent party would arise, which could not easily be managed by them. This appears from Marbois' letter, from the letters of our commissioners, and the declarations of Count de Vergennes at different times. For this reason they wish- ed to strengthen their party, by attaching the Tories and their friends to their interest. Could they have secured to the Tories their confiscated estates, or a compensation for them, and a permanent residence in America, at a period when the British had given over all hopes of providing in that way for them, and when despair, as to their darling object, had seized the minds of the Tories themselves, so that restoration might appear to have been effected by the French policy, and that unmerited, there can be no doubt, but Tories would have become the most devoted tools to France. Count de Vergennes even went so far as to desire Mr. Adams to recommend it to Congress to leave all the European af- fairs to the court of France, and attend on- ly to the affairs of America at home.
Our commissioners repeatedly say, in dif- ferent letters, that it was to them very clear that the court of France meant to prevent any of the great powers in Europe acknow- ledging our independence; and that we should obtain, by the peace, from Britain, nothing beyond the point of naked inde- pendence; and not even that, till the French influence was more firmly established in A- merica. They accordingly endeavored to break off the negotiations, in order to gain more time and means. Marbois recom- mended this to Count de Vergennes in his letter, intimating that the French influence was not sufficiently weighty to have a general peace. Mr. Jay, in one letter, says, "We have more reason to admire the patience, than to be satisfied with the generosity of our al- lies;" alluding to the great reluctance with which they furnished us with money, and the steadiness with which they pursued their great objects.
The conduct of the French, during the negotiation for peace, appears clearly to have been part of a system, formed as early as 1778, by that court, to prevent our becom- ing independent of, and unmanageable by, them after a peace. They appear to have apprehended that if our claims as to inde- pendence by preliminary, territory, fishery, &c. should be obtained by us, we should soon throw off our dependence on them, and learn to think and act for ourselves. They accordingly began to guard against this evil to them by the terms of the treaty of alliance made in 1778, and by taking proper measures to have our ministers in Europe dependent upon them; and their instructions such that the French ministers might have it in their power to determine what points America should insist upon at the treaty for peace; and of course what the terms of that treaty, as to America, should be. For this purpose, they, by their influence, procured Dr. Frank- lin to be appointed sole minister at the court of France. This gave them a good chance of his being the sole minister for negotiating peace, which must have as effectually secured to them all their views, as if the Count de Vergennes had been the sole negotiator.
In proof that the court of France had long ago determined on the plan they pursued at the negotiation, and that they have all along been preparing Congress for their purposes, we need only attend to the memorial of Monsieur Gerard, and his communications from his court, in 1779, as they stand upon the secret journals of Congress. He says that "his master was highly pleased with Congress, for having made Dr. Franklin the alone minister to his court, who was a gen- tleman remarkable for his integrity, his ab- ilities and disposition to conciliate; he con- sidered it as a new evidence of the disposi- tion of Congress to oblige the king, and cement the alliance."
He further says, that "the publication of the treaty by Congress was improper and un- precedented; his master, however, was not angry, at it, since it was only discovering to the world how kind and generous he had been to undertake our defence, without any re-
gard to his own interest, and showed what a disinterested attachment he had to Ameri- ca and the liberties of mankind, and of course the high obligations he had conferred upon America." He says also that "Congress should give their minister at the Court of Spain, di- rections to make the most liberal proposi- tions to her to acknowledge our inde- pendence, & to mediate for us, if a peace is on the tapis; & if the war is to continue, great cessions of territory, &c. were necessary; to take a part with us. For this purpose, that our ministers for negotiating peace should be instructed to insist upon no points, but such as France should advise to; that no preliminaries should be unconditionally insist- ed upon, not even independence; that it might so happen, as that to have it only tac- itly acknowledged in the treaty, would be most prudent, according to the circumstances at the time; that such an acknowledgment would answer every purpose to us, as France would then be a guaranty thereto, as he was to Switzerland, Geneva," &c.

nor of America, I hope it cannot happen. Our interest consists in avoiding too close a connection with any nation, and by a just and pacific policy to derive commercial benefits from all; and I trust there is still a majority in Congress who think with me, and who, preferring the interest of this country to that of any other, will pursue those measures that promote the advancement of it.
April 1783. "I am told, that at Boston the seditious are playing off the refugee article against the commissioners. Thus the French will let no man maintain his ground who stands in their way. It is, however, a game I expected they would play; and yet it is the more wicked and unpardonable, when we know that Vergennes caused the insertion of that article bi itself , and did it too for the purpose of embarrassing us: that this was the motive, cannot be doubted, from the use that is now made of it by his emissaries in this country. Would not the announcement of this fact guard the public from any further imposition? Could any evil arise from its being known at this time? It would be doing the public an essential service, and would refuse some of the best characters from unmerited abuse."
"It is time that Massachusetts changed her policy as to refugees. Several of the states will receive any and every body; and it will at last be found to be the dictate of sound policy, and a regard to our own interests, to admit all who are not remarkably rancorous and active against us."
"I have mentioned to you the ***'s peace establishment, the formation of a navy, and other favorite projects of the FINANCIER, and his followers and adherents; but these propositions ought to be rejected by Congress, and I think they will, though they will be backed by that influence which I have already described as being far too great. A thorough understanding betwixt the French minister, the Spanish agent, and some of the wealthier citizens of this place, forms a phalanx that attack with great force—and when their whole efforts are brought to a point, and their numerous dependants are brought forth to action, they are almost irresistible. It is their practice to bunt down every man that cannot be brought over to their views; and so many engines are set at work to depress every individual opponent, that a man must have more than a common share of good fortune to escape them; so that an independent spirit here is in a constant state of warfare. I find it difficult to be well with these people, and at the same time act honestly: but as I am not easily discomposed, I am determined they shall finally respect me in spite of themselves."
July 21, 1783. "MASSACHUSETTS appears to be in a great fermentation; parties runs very high there, and violent measures are pursuing—The French interest is united with the ***'s, and ***'s is their leader; and it is well known to you, that he will be stopped by no principle or consideration. The communication with the army, and the refugee articles in the treaty, are made use of to inflame the people; and it must be allowed the instruments are well chosen, as no others could be used with equal success. The Chevalier de Luzerne had the first notice here of the new delegation, and discovers the highest satisfaction with it; indeed he had no small share in producing it. He found it necessary to remove the men that thwarted his designs. The same parties are united against Mr. J. Adams, and intend to run him down as soon as he arrives [from Europe] Great efforts are making to render him unpopular, and the peace reproached. The French have two points in view; to weaken us by INTERNAL DISSENSIONS, and to prevent such a conciliation with the British as may be the ground of any future useful connection with them. In all this, their conduct is natural, and (for the disciples of Machiavel) perfectly right. In pursuing their own interest, they must keep us as dependent as possible."

French Palace at Pera, near Constantinople, January 15 1799 To his Excellency Mr. Spencer Smith, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty at the Sublime Porte, the Officers and other French soldiers, prisoners to the English, who have this day come from prison.
"We owe to your excellency our gratitude for the first steps which, in conjunction with the efforts of your brother, have been crowned with success for our liberation—and we embrace the first moments of our freedom to discharge the debt of thanks. Europe need not be told all that your Excellency and your brother have done here in favour of the unfortunate French, in order to judge of the generosity of the nation whom you represent with so much credit to yourselves—but 46 families, who are indebted to you for the restoration of children, of husbands, and of fathers, will feel the necessity of making this public, and we are anxious to be the medium of it: unable to pay our respects in person to your Excellency, we request the favour of you to accept our grateful acknowledgements and our profound respect."

Plymouth, (E.) March 7. The Bretagne, French prize, which arrived here yesterday, sent in by the Tartar privateer, of Jersey, was one of a fleet of 100 sail, bound from L'Orient to Brest, laden with provisions for the fleet and army equipping at that port. The Tartar captured four others of the fleet, which she sent to Jersey, but it is feared that the remainder are arrived safe at Brest.
NAPLES. It must be a matter of astonishment to every one who is not intimately acquainted with Naples, that the Neapolitan nobility and officers should have betrayed their country to the French, after the examples they had before their eyes of the fate of other nations. The eldest sons of the nobility who inherit the whole of the landed property of the family, are all exceedingly ignorant: they think that having a title and an estate, education is unnecessary.
As these noble heads of families live up to the utmost of their income, and generally beyond it, the younger sons are left almost without any provision: they either serve in the army, enter into convents, or study the law. The army not being hitherto on a very extensive footing afforded maintenance for few: numbers went into convents, whose dissoluteness of manners and morals made the Neapolitan Monks and Friars proverbial in Italy. Attached to the law, there were reckoned 30,000. All these younger children, however, received a very good education, and whatever talent was found in Naples, it was amongst them. Of the hardness of their destiny they had long complained, and many severe fates have appeared at different times, both in this and the last century, against this distribution of riches. We think after this statement, there will be no occasion to point out how easy it has been to the French to find partisans.
As to the Lazaroni , they would have been faithful to their sovereign, could he have remained with them; but being as credulous and versatile as they are superstitious and bigoted, they will easily be made converts to the French doctrines. The state of Calabria, a strong country by nature, and inhabited by a bold, or rather ferocious people deserves some notice. The Barons who mostly live at Naples, are nearly foreigners in their estates, and the people almost enslaved vassals. The Barons have soldiers of their own establishment (exclusively of the King's) who enforced the payment of taxes, pursued smugglers, &c, and in general the people were dissatisfied with their Lords, as was the Court, which always thought it prudent to treat them with great indulgence.
From this statement it would appear, that the French will, with as much facility as they have marched to Capua, march to the extremity of Calabria.
The proclamation published by General Duhesme, on his entering the Abruzzoes, combines in a striking manner the traits of false liberty, perjury, and hypocrisy which have marked all the productions issued by the agents of the Directory during the war. It is a peculiarly remarkable for containing a most unequivocal and formal declaration of war against all existing governments whatever, and this declaration is announced in the following language. "The king of Naples in violating the most sacred treaties, has dared to rouse the slumbering Lion. God, who judges Kings, has had pity on our miseries. He imagined he could resist the Great Nation, and change the order of the Supreme Arbiter of Empires, who has chosen the French people to renew the surface of the Globe, disfigured by the crimes of governments, and to establish upon it the reign of that Liberty and Equality to which he has destined men."

NORFOLK, May 9. Extract of a letter from St. Pierre's, Martinique, to a gentleman in this town, dated 25th March. "Admiral Harvey in the Prince of Wales of 98 guns, and Vengeance of 74 guns, besides frigates, in consequence of advice from Lord St. Vincent (per a Schooner arrived 6 days since from Gibraltar) embarked upwards of 4000 soldiers at Port-royal, and proceeded immediately to the southward; they are now at Corland Bay, Tobago. It is said a Spanish fleet of Merchantmen with a convoy, are expected on the Main, and that Admiral is watching them, as their route is between Tobago and Trinidad. The American cruizers are very active, and have re-taken several vessels of their country."
The Schooner Elizabeth, captain Robinson, arrived yesterday from Martinique; she sailed in company with a fleet of 32 sail, under convoy of the United States and Constitution frigates, with the Merrimac brig. The cruise of the United States and Constitution is out; the former has gone to Philadelphia, and the latter to Boston.
By a Schooner which arrived here yesterday, from Alexandria, we learn, that the tornado on Saturday the 27th ult. had done considerable damage in the neighbourhood of Port Tobacco—at King George court house several carts were carried by the wind a distance of 150 yards and dashed in pieces; several people, as well as horses and cattle have been killed, many houses have been blown down, and trees torn up by the roots.
On Tuesday arrived the Schooner Nymph, capt. Smith, she was taken by the English frigate Trent, in lat 25, on her passage from Port de Paix, to St. Thomas's with a cargo of coffee, they took out three of the hands, and put a prize master and three men on board and ordered her to Bermuda; she struck on a rock going in, and the prize master and English seamen went on shore to obtain assistance to get her off—during this time a fresh breeze springing up from the shore, and the Schooner backed into deep water, when captain Smith made sail, and arrived here in a leaky condition, having only 4 hands on board, which were the captain, mate, cook and cabin boy.
NEWBURYPORT, May 7. ORIGIN OF JACOBINS; OR THE FATHER OF THE RACE OF JACOBINS.
YE are of your Father the Devil, and the works of your Father ye will do. Our Saviour.—A certain Mr. M. in the county of—, who is a firm friend to his country and to government, being somewhat exasperated at the seditious principles and practices which prevailed among some of his neighbours, was weighing bitterly one day against them—letting forth the criminality as well as dangerous tendency of a disorganizing spirit, &c.—and in the course of his harangue he frequently made use of the term Jacobin —An insignificant booby standing by, who felt his Pygmean soul swell with resentment at seeing his own character and that of his brethren in iniquity, set in a true light—demanded of Mr. M. in a very imperious air "What do you mean by Jacobin ?" To which Mr. M. replied, "He did not know that he could give the proper definition of the word, but he could tell who was the first of that order." On being desired to say who it was—answered, "The Gentleman who tempted our first parents in Paradise to rebel against God their rightful King and lawgiver." This answer produced considerable merriment in the company—and Jaco feeling rather chagrined at hearing the vices of his great grand father exposed in public, and not having any thing to reply—hastened away to consult with his companions how they might obliterate from the minds of men this true history of their contemptible origin.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 16.
The present stagnation of business, however melancholy, will not probably continue for any length of time, being evidently to be traced to causes entirely within our own control. To the existing scarcity of money, no cause, perhaps, has contributed with so immediate and extensive effect, as the 8 per cent. loan. Mercenary declaimers had magnified the Secretary for fixing the rate unnecessarily high: the event has shown their ignorance and impudence. Another powerful drain upon the circulating medium of the country exists in our India trade: this has been yearly increasing; and the exports of cash for the last year, to India and Canton, will, it is believed, have exceeded all our former experience. The difficulties arising from both these causes, will remedy themselves: foreigners will take part of the loan; and the natural course of that commerce will retrieve the inconveniences it gives rise to. The origin of the prevailing embarrassments, we owe however to a deeper and more powerful cause—to which, too, the remedy is simple and easily put in operation. A war with France would in two months revive every department of society. Commerce would be invigorated—the funds would rise, and every employment of life would receive new vigour from its connection with them. This issue we are in a fair way to attain from the uncompromising hauteur and brutal rapacity of the enemy.
We published, yesterday, a statement, which was communicated by an eye-witness, of a flagellation inflicted upon one of the United Irishmen concerned in propagating that Diablerie of slanders and lies, called the Aurora , and why it since appears, is the fellow that calls himself "the Editor of the Aurora ."
Although the punishment of this caustic is of no more consequence, than that of any other vagabond, yet, as he has the impudence to make a parade of his sufferings and his republicanism , we shall bestow a remark or two, which the insignificance of the object would not otherwise require.
It is not for me to say any thing in justification of the officers; but this I will say, that to have borne in silence to be called thieves, ruffians and caustics, as they were called, would have been to resign all pretensions not only to the character of soldiers but of men.
A body of men, as respectable in character as any in the United States, after great expense and sacrifice of time in equipping and training themselves, make a further sacrifice of business and of ease, for nearly two months, in a toilsome enterprise, in defence of their country and its constitution. In their absence on this expedition, they are maligned with every slander, that the foul malice of an incendiary can invent, and after their return, are insulted and braved, even to their very teeth by accusations of the most atrocious nature, heightened in their capacity to irritate, by their utter falsity.
When the officers reflected on these things, and more especially when they reflected, that the same villain who uttered them had called a man whom they in a particular manner severe (many of them having fought the battles of Independence by his side) as a common friend and father, when they reflected that the same villain and the same paper had called the great and good Washington a hypocrite, a fool, a liar, a coward, a tyrant and a murderer—the present illustrious Chief Magistrate, who co-operated so powerfully in council with his immortal compeer in the field, in obtaining our Independence, "a blind, bald, toothless, crippled dotard"—the brave Commodore Trenton , and all his gallant officers and crew, treacherous assassins and murderers,—when they reflected on these things, and reflected that the author of them was not an American but a foreigner, and not merely a foreigner, but an United Irishman, and not merely an United Irishman, but a public convict and fugitive from justice; they might have determined that nothing from so vile a source could stain their well-established credit, and they might have let him go on, as he would have done, from calling the whole body of horse a gang of thieves, to applying the odious epithet to individual troopers by name. But they must they have lifted every distinctive attribute of a soldier and a man of honor, and sunk to the level of the Democratic crew.
This infernal Aurora , and the infamous United Irishman who conducts it, are expressly chargeable with the Northampton Insurrection. An unhappy man, lately brought into a melancholy situation, declares that he dates his ruin, from the day he first saw the Aurora . Added to this, is the uniform tenor of that paper, since the Insurrection has been pending. They early pronounced, in the face of day, and after the Proclamation of government, that there was no Insurrection—that the marching of the troops was a government-trick to extend its powers, and did whatever in them lay, to thwart every step taken for quelling the rebellion.
We have forborne to approve the step taken by the officers; but the scoundrel on whom it fell, is the last who should complain—having justified every species of outrage, however sanguinary and cruel, when exercised on a particular description of persons.
The whole of what this lying and cowardly caustic has asserted, respecting the officers, or any one of them having pistols, is totally false, and attributable perhaps in some degree to the influence of terror, as well as to a natural propensity to lying. He asserts another falsehood respecting the number of persons who struck him. One circumstance ought not to pass away unnoticed, on account of the extravagant
and ridiculous calumny it displays. He calls himself a Republican. What does he know of republicanism and what is a Republican? Jails and dungeons and batteries are forsooth pretty feminares of Republicanism!
Communications.
MURDER! MURDER! MURDER! Citizen Dwight in his candid account of the magnanimous manner in which he received his flagellation, has forgot to mention that he bellowed MURDER! from the time he was taken hold of till the discipline was completely gone through—I dare say this omission has arisen from the haste in which he drew up his statement, and he will no doubt correct the error in his next edition.
Jasper Dwight told his customers, on Saturday last, that in Monday's Aurora he should publish a laboured vindication of the troops employed in the Northampton Insurrection; and he has this morning exhibited himself as a laboured vindication of the same subject. We would advise this gentleman to change his climate—the cowkin of America cuts as keenly as the lash of India.
