COMMUNICATION.
THERE is no position in political affairs that may be better defended than this principal, That the spirit of liberty will not exist, if there is a defect of operative virtue in the people.
After the emancipation of our country from G. Britain, the American people were perhaps as virtuous as any nation upon the globe. The rational spirit of liberty existed in their hearts; yet they wanted some centre of union for the different republics of which they were composed to unite them. A constitution, as necessary to prevent their liberty from degenerating into licentiousness, to connect their different interests, and defend their mutual rights. For the want of this combining and conservatory power, the American States suffered the ill effects of partial anarchy. But the old worth, and patriotism, that bore us to triumphantly through one revolution of government, saw a necessity for another; and knowing the generous temper of the people, that they would not be drove , even to their own good, yet might be led by the hand of wisdom to any thing, they patiently acquiesced in their temporary distresses, with the hope that their sufferings would at length bring about a reformatory temper, and induce them to embrace a healthy and happier form of government: this important moment arrived, and was at length seized on; and after a considerable struggle with political theorists, the Federal Constitution was happily established, — a government calculated for a virtuous people, and whose strength must be supported by public opinion. The theorists produced a faction, called Antifederalists; who, as they saw they could not lead the public mind, resolved to bewilder it; and whenever they could deceive in the elections of the people, creatures of their ramp became legislators, and weakened the public councils with false reasonings and divisions. Thanks to the cool heads, better sense, and penetration, of the American people, that we were not slaves to the passions, as were the people of France! There, one revolution tore up the foundations of society—revolution followed revolution, and tossed the public mind to fluctuate upon the tumultuous waves of confusion. The American people, tho' sometimes led astray by the prompt sophisms of the Antifederalists, yet eventually settled down in the orderly path of reason; and, with men of wisdom and integrity, at the head of affairs, they increased in wealth and happiness, and excited the envy of other nations. At length the apostles of the French revolution came upon us, regenerating millions into our happy country, when our countrymen, seduced by the sacred name of liberty, supposing it to be the same with them as with us, tho' in fact what they called liberty in France was an infamous compound of brutal power and licentiousness—yet her foul votaries were respected, and they were suffered to patchwork the tattered garments of antifederalism, from whence sprung the faction, under a new garb, of the Jacobins, under whose intoxicating influence the American citizens at one period did fair to lose their morals, and the love of real liberty. Then, we were differently situated from what we were when the Federal Constitution was adopted. At that time Europe was at peace, and we had nothing to do with their domestic affairs: our duty was to mind our own concerns, and consult the public happiness. But now the times had changed. The French, Prussians and Austrians had gone to war, and England soon after took an active part against the French. Our interests were not immediately involved; indeed it seemed to be at first a war produced by the militancy of opinions, rather than any actual aggression that had been committed by either party, but threatening in its progress a dissolution of the ties of all civil society, and a horrid destruction of the human race. Thus situated, it became our anxiety to steer clear of the whirlpool of European politics, and for the sake of humanity, and our dearest interests, to take a neutral part. The wise and patriotic administrators of our government did not hesitate, and the President issued his proclamation of neutrality. Then was discovered the effect of the combination of antifederal with jacobin principles, in the base intrigues of this two headed faction against the Federal Government—their incessant disturbance of its whole some operations—their vile calumnies against its administrators—and, where they could not fix a stain upon their characters, they would detract from their merits; destroying by degrees the confidence of the people, poisoning their morals with French philtres, and turning the charity of their dispositions into the devil-like temper of hatred to all other governments and nations that were not French.

ALBANY May 21.
The evidences of an existing Jacobin faction in the bosom of our country have long been too prominently exhibited to escape attention: if there exists a class by whom they have been unnoticed, that class is composed of characters alike indifferent to our prosperity and glory, or our degradation and infamy. Weak, but well meaning men, have recoiled from the belief that America cherishes parasites who stand ready to light the torch which may consume her honors, and mingle the ashes of her independence with those of other republics, which have existed, flourished and expired. That charity which has been indulged towards a faction hostile to the measures of the existing government, will if persevered in; be the source of calamities which no after energy can avert, which no plans of prudence or wisdom can control. Falacious is the idea that, because men possess extensive property, and have families and connections which should render dear to them a state of order, an attachment to their country and a well-regulated government, will always of course follow: the villain who prefers a pistol to the breast of his fellow man, and demands his purse, or who rushes unawares upon the traveller, and robs him of his life and property, is ever flattered by the idea that he shall escape the arm of justice, and revail on the fruit of his crimes: the ambitious disorganizer and the unprincipled demagogue, are buoyed up by the hope that they shall rise amidst ruin, and climb to eminence upon the wrecks of the State.
But there is another class of men, who aspire to preferment, through any path which chance, or their own inventions, may provide: it is composed of such as are desperate in their pecuniary circumstances, and possessing a pride which pants for the enjoyment of splendor, and official honors, without the honest means of gratifying the former, and destitute of that consistency and integrity of conduct which can attain the latter. Such men readily league themselves with all disappointed office-hunters, and give the full rein to depravity for the purpose of accomplishing their objects. The good sense of the community may discern the nefarious plans in agitation, to sacrifice the public weal to private, villainous views—and that good sense may command unprincipled demagogues to retire to the private walks from which accident, or the neglect of the people relative to their best interests, may have too unfortunately permitted them for a moment to emerge. But the public vigilance should not slacken too suddenly; the friends to a free, representative Government, should ever be watchful.
'Tis not enough that during demagogues are excluded from posts of trust and honour: their views and objects would never be lost sight of—but should afford themes of continual caution and warning to the public: failing in the more artful measures of sapping the confidence of the people in the government, by a misrepresentation of its measures, and a shameful abuse of its administrators, they may, and probably will, as a dernier resort, excite civil commotions in the country, to obtain by violence and blood, what art and intrigue have failed to effect. Already, in partial instances have operations of this kind been set on foot: and one of the principals of the opposition has been heard recently to declare, that before the expiration of three years, a civil war in this country would be inevitable.—The only remedies which can be provided against such an evil is to clothe with power those alone who are friendly to the Government—and for the people constantly to be upon the watch. While the Government is administered with justice and necessary energy; and is supported by public confidence, and decisive manifestations of the will of the great majority to defend it, all will be well—Treasons high and low will shrink from their open attempts to demolish so strong a bulwark: but if supineness and inattention prevail, advantage will accrue to our internal enemies, who may eventually take measures to verify their predictions—by openly brandishing the dagger of civil discord, and successfully undermining the pillars of National and State authority.
RICHMOND, May 7.
The democrats are eternally railing at the federalists about ingratitude—we would ask whether there can be a stronger evidence of ingratitude than the inveteracy they show to Gen. Marshall? The French tell us they fought our battles, and gained for us our independence and liberty; and pray let us ask who was he that co-operated with them? John Marshall.
But what particularly characterises their ingratitude is, that Gen. Marshall is the free born son of an American, and who after having borne the toil of furious war, in his country's cause, continued to be, and is now the ready avenger and firm supporter of her rights.—Out upon it, fye! it smells rank to heaven.
It may be observed as a proof of federalism gaining ground, that we do not hear of a single instance having happened at any one place of election throughout the whole state. Moderation and temperance, characteritics of federalists, have generally prevailed.
It is an established maxim that TRUTH is progressive—we cannot say at what fixed ratio—but at the smallest calculation, we think it may be allowed, that if we have one hundred and nine majority in its favor this year, we shall have 218 at the next election.
A person expressing some surprise in company the other day, about the silence of the democrats on their election—another who sat near him, replied, "you will cease to wonder when you learn they are chop-fallen ."
It is really piteous to see them—their chins hanging on their breasts—and their countenances depicted with fear and terror.—Every man they meet is to their apprehensions an inquisitor or a bailli with a etree de cactus .

LONDON, March 13. The following is a Copy of the Treaty which was made between General Championnet, and Prince Pignatelli:
Armistice concluded between General Championnet, Commander in Chief of the Army of Rome, on one part, and M. Prince de Milano, and the Duke de Gesso, Plenipotentiaries of the Captain General Pignatelli, Viceroy of the kingdom of Naples, on the other part.
Art. 1. The city of Capua, in its present state, with the magazine of all forts, shall be given up to-morrow morning at ten o'clock, to the French army. It is to be understood, that the artillery and ammunition which may have been taken out for the intrenched camp, shall be returned. A French officer and commissary of war shall enter the town this evening to verify the state of the magazine, and to receive them.
2. The French army having its right upon the Mediterranean, shall occupy the Right Bank of the Mouth of the Neapolitan Lakes, Acerra, and the Road from Naples which passes through Acerra, Azienzo and Benevento, and shall keep Garrisons in all the towns and villages of this country.
3. The Line of Demarcation shall extend from Benevento to the Mouths of the Ofanto (beyond the Gulph of Manfredonia, in the Adriatic Sea), taking the left bank of that river, and the right bank of the Lambro.
4. The Neapolitan Troops which may be upon the Roman territory shall immediately evacuate it.
5. The ports of the two Sicilies shall be declared neutral; those of the kingdom of Naples immediately after the signing of the Art., and those of Sicily as soon as the King of Naples shall have sent from Palermo an Ambassador to Paris, to treat for Peace. Consequently, no Neapolitan ships of war shall sail from any of the ports of the two kingdoms, nor shall any of the ships belonging to the powers at war with the French Republic be received therein, and all the ships belonging to these powers who may be there at this moment, shall be immediately sent away.
6. During the continuance of the Armistice, no change shall be made in the administrative authorities of the countries occupied by the French.
7. No individual shall be troubled on account of his political principles.
8. The King of the Two Sicilies shall pay to the French Republic, ten millions of livres, tournois; five millions to be paid upon the 26th Nivose of the present month, corresponding with the 25th January, 1799, and the other five millions on the 6th Nivose, which corresponds with the 25th January, in the same year. These payments shall be made at Capua, and the ducat shall be received as four livres of France.
9. The usual commercial relation between Naples and the territory occupied by the French army, shall continue as heretofore, with the reserve that the provisioning of the French army shall not suffer at all thereby. It is also agreed upon, that the reciprocity of the commerce of the French army, with the territory occupied by the Neapolitans, shall take place, with exemption from all duties.
10. The present Treaty of Armistice shall be submitted to the approbation of the governments of the two powers. If either refuse to ratify it, the generals commanding shall give notice three days before the re-commencement of hostilities.
Done at the Camp before Capua, 21 Nivose (Jan. 10) Seventh Year of the French Republic. (Signed) CHAMPIONNET. The Prince de Milano. The Duke de Gesso.
CHAMPIONNET, Commander in chief of the army of Naples, to all the inhabitants of the ci-devant kingdom of Naples.
"You are at length free; your liberty is the only price which France desires to obtain for her exertions, and the only clause of the treaty of peace which the army of the Republic comes to ratify by a solemn oath with you within the walls of your capital, and on the subverted throne of your last King. Misery be to the wretch who shall refuse to sign with us this honorable compact, in which the fruit of victory is given to the vanquished, and which only leaves to the conqueror the glory of having consolidated your happiness. He shall be treated as a public enemy, against whom we remain in arms. If there are ill among you hearts that are so ungrateful as to reject that liberty which we have gained for you at the expense of our blood, or men so insane as to regard a king deprived of the right of commanding them in consequence of his violating the oath which he had sworn to defend them; let them fly for protection to standards, which are disgraced by perjury! War shall be prosecuted against them to extermination. Republicans, the cause under which you have so generously suffered, is ultimately victorious."
What the brilliant victories of the army of Italy had not been able to accomplish, has been happily effected by the blindness of your last king. Let him then blame his own madness, and his audacious aggression, for the happiness of your fate, and the disgrace which he has experienced! But let him be justly punished for having attacked, against the faith of oaths, a nation in alliance with him, and for having attempted to deprive a neighbouring nation of their liberty! Let him be punished by the loss of a crown which he has dishonoured, and by the chagrin of having been the principal instrument in making you free; Let no apprehensions embitter the sentiment of a happiness so unexpected! The army which I command remains in the midst of you for your defence. It will take its last man, it will shed its last drop of blood before it will allow your last tyrant to entertain even the hope of renewing the pro-

scripture of your families, and of opening again the dungeons in which he has caused them so long to pine. Neapolitans, if the French army assume now the title of the army of Naples, it is in consequence of the solemn engagement into which it has entered, to die for your cause, and to make no other use of its arms than to maintain your independence, and to preserve your rights, which it has vindicated. Let the people therefore, be assured of the full enjoyment of their religion, and cease to be alarmed with respect to the rights of property! The force of interests has maintained the tyrants in great exertions which they have made to calumniate in the eyes of the world, the integrity, and good faith of the French nation; but to a nation so generous, a few days are sufficient to dispel credulous men of the odious prejudices to which tyranny has recourse to incite them to deplorable excesses.
The organization of plunder and assassination projected by your last king, and executed by his corrupt agents, as a means of defence, has produced the most dreadful and horrible consequences; but in removing the cause of the evil, it will be easy to check the effects, and to repair even the fatal mischiefs which it has produced. Let the republican authorities which are about to be established restore order and tranquility on the basis of paternal administration; let them dissipate the idle charms of ignorance, and appease the fury of fanaticism with a zeal equal to that which has been employed by perjury to increase them; in a short time the severity of discipline, which re-establishes with so much facility order among the troops of a free people, will not delay to put a period to the disorders produced by hatred, and which have been with difficulty repressed."
(Signed) "CHAMPIONNET." Commander in Chief of the army of Naples. Naples, June 24.
LAW INTELLIGENCE.
THE KING VINT AND OTHERS. This was an information filed en-officio , by his majesty's attorney general, at the instance of his excellency the Russian ambassador, against the proprietor, printer, and publisher of the evening paper called The Courier , for a libel, which appeared in November last, tending to vilify and bring into reproach the character of his imperial majesty the Emperor of Russia, and to excite and promote a war between this country and Russia.
The libel was in form of a paragraph, and was copied from a country paper. It stated among other things, that the Emperor of Russia had rendered himself obnoxious to his subjects by various acts of tyranny, and by his inconsistency had made himself ridiculous in the eyes of Europe.
The Attorney General felt it his duty to call the serious attention of the jury to the libel in question, which he had brought before them, by command of the ambassador of a great and illustrious monarch, whose political character had been impudently and wickedly calumniated. It became the justice and dignity of this country to vindicate his imperial majesty against these defamatory aspersions by a public prosecution. It was evidently the design of the authors of this and other libels of a similar complexion, to dissolve the political relations at present subsisting between this kingdom and other countries, and to stir them up to enmity, and to provoke a spirit of hostility against each other. The attorney general then noticed the various political paragraphs which occupied the columns of some diurnal prints, and which appeared to him to be fabricated with the malicious and seditious design to libel all the monarchs in Europe, for no other reason than because they were kings and emperors. He made a variety of other remarks, and concluded by referring the libelous paragraph to the jury, for them to decide whether it was, or was not, a wicked, malicious, and seditious libel.
The fact of the publication of the libel was then proved. Mr. Erskine addressed the jury, as counsel for the defendant, in a very able speech. The Attorney General replied.
Lord Kenyon was clearly of opinion that this paragraph was a gross and abominable libel on a very great and illustrious monarch, whose honor and character it was highly incumbent on this country to vindicate against the charges contained in this libel.
The jury withdrew for about three quarters of an hour, and on their return pronounced the defendants—Guilty.
Agreeable to an act of Parliament passed the 24th, Geo. II. ann. 1751, the year of our Lord, 1800 will not be reckoned a Bisextile or Leap Year, but will be computed a common year, consisting of 365 days and no more; and that in consequence thereof, the month of February next to come will consist of 28 days only, making thereby a difference of 12 days between the old and new styles; which difference of the 2 styles will continue the same throughout the whole of the 19th century, in order that the vernal or spring equinox may be fixed, on or near the 21st day of March yearly, as it happened at the time of the General Council of Nice, ann. 325.
The Brest squadron consists of eighteen sail of the line, but, is prevented from sailing, from the want of seamen.
His Prussian majesty is said to have been much exasperated by the surrender of Ehrenbreitstein; and it is reported, a request has been made for 45,000 Russian troops to pass through his territory to the attack of Holland. This makes the whole number of Russian troops marching against France amount to 113,000. If these facts are true, we may see a very formidable coalition against the Republic, and a war the most terrible, in its immediate effects, of any yet witnessed in the world.
Last week, one of the long chain of hills, called Hambleton Hills, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, fell in the plain below and spread over a very considerable quantity of ground. Falling in the night, it did no personal injury. It was called Brockell Scar, situated near the village of Kirby Knowle, and contained on the surface about three quarters of an acre of ground, with much wood growing on it. Probably the weight of the thawed snow, filtering through the fissures of the earth, may have loosened this hill from that to which it was joined, and occasioned its fall.
By this Day's Mail.
BOSTON, May 24. The renewal of war on the European continent, whatever may be its termination, is a fact, which through some effected to doubt, is now fully established. The charge of affairs of the French Republic to the German Diet, has been compelled to return to France; and his Imperial Majesty, has published a manifesto, in which he charges the French with perfidy and aggression, justifies himself to the world, and calls upon the States of the Empire to unite with him in measures of mutual security.
There is no doubt, from a variety of intelligence, that the Turks, the Russians, the Germans and the English will combine in one great effort to restore the Kingdom of Naples to its sovereign.
Capt. Samuel Nicholson, of the Constitution frigate, is appointed to command a 74 gun ship—which is to be immediately commenced in this town, and to be built with all speed.
We understood, that St. Andrew's Lodge, of this town, subscribed 3000 dollars to be found for building ships of war for Government.
HARTFORD, (Con.) May 27. The proclamation published by General Duhamel, on his entering the Abruzzos, combines in a striking manner the traits of false liberty, perfidy and hypocrisy which have marked all the proceedings of the agents of the Directory during the war. It is 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 route the flunbering 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."
NEW-YORK, May 27. The Ticket, No. 14374, this morning drew the highest prize in the New York State Road Lottery, 10,000 Dollars. The fortunate possessors of this Ticket, are a company of five gentlemen, who purchased the unfold Tickets, at the time the Lottery commenced drawing.
COMMUNICATION.
A small Daily Paper has lately been started in Baltimore, under the title of " The American and Daily Advertiser ," by a Mr. Martin, in connection with Mr. James Carey, late of Philadelphia. Its politics are those of the Argus and Aurora. Finding after a few days trial, that it was not likely to get much of advertising patronage of the federal city of Baltimore, they at length very modestly inform the citizens that one of them, or a person employed for that purpose will canvass the city and beg their support! It is to be hoped that even this unmanly and degrading conduct will not insure the success of a paper professedly inimical to the government. Those printers must have formed an erroneous opinion of the citizens of Baltimore, or they would at least conceal their real sentiments; for it is very evident that the generosity of the Mercantile part of Baltimore, as well as New-York, would not withhold their patronage from men who came forward even with the profession of being open to all parties, but influenced by none, though the motto in itself is ridiculous in the extreme, as it is never adhered to.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Malaga.
"The person who fought so bravely with the French privateers is our friend Captain GAMAEL BRADFORD. He was attacked by four privateers (two of which were of superior force) about 7 leagues from Malaga; after many exchanges of shot, one of them threw himself along side of Bradford's ship and attempted to board, when he received a discharge which killed and wounded fifteen; this intimidated the rest and he kept up a continual firing with them until they all reached the harbor. It is said the Frenchman threw over five dead bodies before he came to an anchor. The above is the number which were put on shore at the Mole of Malaga, out of which seven were dead, and the rest in a fair way. The captain of the privateer lost one leg. Bradford, it is said, came beating Tankee Doodle ; he mounted only ten four pounders and had 25 men."
The brig Refe, capt. John Meany, lately arrived at New Castle, 57 days from the Isle of Lobos, near the Falkland Islands, and sometime before from the river La Plata; left at the latter place the ship Liberty, Miller, and the brig —, capt. Cronin, of this city, and the ship Diana, Bunker, of Baltimore. All foreign vessels were ordered out of the several ports by the Viceroy in 30 days.
Capt. Meany informs, that no such ship has failed from the river Plata as was mentioned in the papers a few days ago to have been engaged by a French privateer in the Gulph Stream; nor has there been any vessel named Mary Ann, under American colors, in that river during the war. He adds, that he saw a privateer brig in lat. 25 north, long. 49, west, which chased him eight hours, and fired several times at him. This privateer the captain believes to be in the track of our homeward bound East Indiamen.

To which Johnson returned this good humoured and brief answer:
"Samuel Johnson returns his compliments to Mr. Andrew Millar, and is very glad to find, as he does by his note, that Andrew Millar, has the grace to thank God for anything."

Capt. F. found the commander of the privateer to be an old acquaintance, who told him he would not take his vessel unless compelled to do so by his crew; and gave Capt. F. directions to conceal whatever English goods he might have on board, and the next morning he would send ten men to search; and further assured him, that if we was obliged to make a prize of him, the vessel should be returned. Renard told Capt. F. that he had taken 10 English vessels within a short time. After having satisfied the crew of the privateer that capt.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE  JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American Wars, in 1775, to the pre- sent time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public.
TERMS. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 300 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars. whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print many more than the number subscribed for, a consider- able rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. * Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generations, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to us? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenti- cated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation. * The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, "Respectfully represents "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them; That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from ma- ny individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu- ting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom, render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves."

CITY BRIDGE. The President and Directors of the Company incorporated for the purpose of building a Permanent Bridge over the Schuylkill River at or near the City of Philadelphia, having contracted with the Select and Common Councils of the said City for a line for such Bridge at the west end of High Street, hereby give NOTICE—That a premium of Two Hundred Dollars will be paid by the said Directors for the most approved plan of a Bridge for the said site, the calculation of which shall be consistent with the following general limi- tations. The material to be of wood, iron or stone, or of those articles combined. The construction to be suitable to the character of the river which is as follows—subject to exact five fathoms, occasionally stopping above or below the said High-street, in the first instance breaking loose and bringing down large masses of ice, tim- ber, &c. in the latter instance causing a back wa- ter swell which has equalled to 19 feet above low water level, and at that height covering a tract of ground near 3 miles in length, by a very con- siderable width—Therefore, As few piers as can be consistent with safety, or without a pier if equally safe and permanent. The opening between the abutments to be not more than 402 feet, nor less than 300 feet.

G. SHAW, Respectfully informs the public, he has received from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green Street, Soho, Lon- don, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine. AWARE of the depredations 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 demon- strated that its sale has far exceeded any for- mer example; comparatively there are few fami- lies 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, Com- plaints of the Stomach and other Pain- ful Maladies."
Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most re- spectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the best families in England, Ireland and America.
