Jusum et tenacem propositi virum,

Mr. FENNO,
I OBSERVE in one of the late
New York papers, that the editor of the
court kalendar declares, that he "does still
persist in asserting that the year 1800 is the
first of the 19th century; and to believe the
contrary is to betray a degree of ignorance
excusable in no one but a Philadelphian."
Since these things are so, I would sug-
gest to the editor the expediency of turn-
ing to the 312th page of the first volume
of Hume's history of England, and blotting
out this sentence, in which, speaking of the
reduction of Jerusalem by the christians, in
the year 1100, he says, "This great event
happened on the fifth of July, in the last
year of the eleventh century." I presume
the gentleman will take some effectual
measures to prevent such a palpable absurdity
from being handed down to posterity
by a BRITISH author, heretofore, of some
reputation. Otherwise Hume must be in-
delibly stigmatized with the imputation of a
"degree of IGNORANCE excusable in no
one but A Philadelphian."

22 French 12's and 230 men, after a very
gallant and well fought action, which con-
tinued from half past 10, A. M. till 2

"At 11, A. M. several of the Wood-
rop's guns were dismounted, but thro' the
bravery of her crew, they were remounted,

trucks to prevent a similar accident. The

3 wounded on board the Woodrop Sims. The
French had 2 killed, and 4 or 5

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, January 21.
The house, on motion of Mr. Bayard, again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to establish an uniform system of Bankruptcy throughout the United States...
The house having taken the amendments into consideration.
Mr. Kitchell moved to recommit the bill for the purpose of amending part of the tenth section, which provides that the assignees may, within three months after the knowledge of a fraudulent sale of property by the bankrupt...
Messrs. Macon, G. G. Allen and Nicholas then opposed this part of the section; and Messrs. Bayard, Harper, Otis and Marshall, spoke in favor of it...
Upon the question shall this bill be engrossed for a third reading, there were Ayes 44, Nays 44; the Speaker declaring himself in the affirmative, it was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next.
On motion of Mr. Bayard, a call of the house was ordered to take place at two o'clock that day; 54 members rising in the affirmative.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis their Secretary, informing the house that the Senate had passed "an act for the relief of the legal representatives of Nathaniel Lapley, deceased," to which they request their concurrence.
Mr. Champlin presented a petition of the corporation of Rhode Island College, praying indemnification for damages sustained by that edifice during the revolutionary war. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Harper said, it would be recollected that the present law offering encouragement to artists for ingenious inventions, provided, that it should not extend to foreigners; and that as the naturalization law fixed the period of residence at fourteen years, previous to being able to obtain the benefit of its provisions...
Mr. Macon called up for consideration the resolution which he some days since laid on the table, for the repeal of the second section of the sedition law...
Mr. M. then gave notice, that he would call it up to-morrow, and every day after until it was disposed of.
Mr. Otis, pursuant to order, reported a bill for the discharge of Robert Sturgeon, from imprisonment, which was read a first and second time, and committed to a committee of the whole house to-morrow.
Adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22.
The House went into committee of the whole on the bill to suspend in part, an act intitled, An act to augment the army of the United States, and for other purposes...
Be it enacted, &c. That all further enlistments under an act intitled "An act to augment the army of the United States, and for other purposes," shall be suspended until the further order of Congress...
Mr. Gallatin moved to amend the bill by inserting in the sixth line, after the word "Congress," the following: "and during the continuance of the existing differences between the United States and the French Republic."
The question on the amendment was put and carried—Ayes 45; nays 43.
Mr. Otis then moved to amend the bill by striking out the words in italic in the seventh and eighth lines, and inserting "The French Republic," and to strike out the words within crotchets in the ninth line, and insert, "The said Republic," which was agreed to.
Mr. Randolph proposed to add the following new section to the bill:
"Be it further enacted, That the men now enlisted under the said act, shall be formed into as many regiments as they are sufficient to complete, to be officered at the discretion of the President of the United States...
Messrs. Rutledge, Platt, Hartley, Cooper, Otis, Harper, Bayard, Marshall and Smith, spoke against it—and Messrs. Macon, Claiborne, Nicholas, Gallatin, Randolph, Jones and Smilie, in favor of it.
The question was at length put and negatived, ayes 38, nays 56.
Mr. Nicholas said, there was a provision in the law relative to the military establishment, which prevented any non-commissioned officer or private from being arrested for any debt or contract...
Mr. Speaker said, if abuses had been committed, and there was a necessity for legislative aid, it ought certainly to be given, but as it was irrelevant to the subject under consideration, it could not be in order...
Mr. Nicholas replied, that the principle advanced by the Speaker was a correct one, but had not always been adhered to, and he believed it would be found an arduous task to confine a committee to the very letter of their instructions.
The committee then rose, and reported their agreement to the bill as amended.
Upon the question will the House now take the report of the committee of the whole into consideration.
Mr. Platt moved that it be postponed until the first Monday in March next.
An adjournment being immediately called for, no question was taken.
Adjourned.

TO THE PUBLIC. THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knox's) WARRANTS, granted to the United States' army, are to be registered and located, the subscribers have explored that tract of land on which those warrants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as locators.
We take the liberty of suggesting, that wear at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the different townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person: this will, perhaps, appear more clearly, by observing, that WILLIAM C. SCHENCK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traversed that tract; he also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in particularly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district. We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every person's warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be determined according to law. For our services we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, when we locate a full tract, of four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location. The one equal sixth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thousand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next, until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person willing to satisfy himself farther, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as we have to offer, which we hope will be satisfactory.

UPWARDS OF Eighteen Thousand Persons Of all ages, within nine months past, have found relief from HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges, In various complaints arising from worms and from foulness or obstructions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title to commonly complained of as operating with a degree of violence, sufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, though no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
RECENT CURES. Selected from several hundreds, the authenticity of which, any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home.
AFFIDAVIT. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 47 Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true. In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms—they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the full reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment, I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate—I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and of slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health which they still enjoy, the five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable. Sworn before me this 20th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
LETTRE From Mr. John F. Abercromby, Soap and Candle Manufacturer, No. 28, Bridge Street, Baltimore. TO THE PROPRIETOR OF Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Sir, October 22, 1799. I think it my duty to inform you that I have experienced the happiest effects from your Lozenges, having been much afflicted for four years past, with various complaints caused by worms, particularly a constant pain in my stomach and bowels, frequent and severe heart aches, with a general lassitude and weakness, during which time I had the best medical advice that could be obtained from the most skillful physicians I could hear of, both American and European, with at any alleviation of my disorder.
I could, too probably, have continued without relief, but for your Worm Destroying Lozenges, which brought from me an astonishing quantity of small white worms, about the size of a coarse thread, and in a short time, I found myself perfectly free from all my former complaints, and have enjoyed a good state of health for five months past. I have constantly recommended your medicine, and shall as long as I live, having, from my own experience reason to believe it to be an invaluable and unparallel'd remedy. Should any person with further information, I will with pleasure satisfy their enquiries on this subject. JOHN F. ABERCROMBY.
SIR, July 10, 1799. I had been a long time afflicted with a violent and gnawing pain in my stomach, a dull heavy continual head ache, with a frequent swimming in my head, accompanied with dimness of sight and sometimes partial blindness, and was rendered incapable of attending my business, thro' loss of strength; sometimes could scarcely eat a morsel for two or three days; when my appetite would suddenly become astonishingly voracious. I firmly believed myself to be in a consumption, which must soon put a period to my life, when happily hearing of several cures performed by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges in complaints which could not be accounted for, I took two doses, which expelled an incredible number of small sharp pointed worms: in short, I now enjoy as perfect health and strength, as ever I did in my life, and I believe my cure to be entirely effected by means of your medicine.
My brother witnessing its surprizing efficacy was induced to take a dose though in tolerable health, which occasioned him likewise to void a great quantity of worms of the same kind, and thereby probably prevented his experiencing those dreadful disorders with which I was afflicted. A sincere desire that others in similar circumstances may receive the same benefit, is the reason of my sending you this account. Yours, very respectfully, AQUILA GOLDING. Hartford Road, 2 miles from Baltimore.
OBSERVE. Those who wish to avail themselves of the benefits proposed by the above remedy, should be particularly careful as they value their money and their health, to guard against the numerous impositions daily attempted on the public, by applying to Mr. Wm. Y. Birch, Stationer, No. 17, South Second Street, who is appointed the only vendor in Philadelphia—Likewise observe that none can be depended on as being genuine, unless the signature of Lee & Co. is pasted on the outside of each. Purchasers by the dozen or gross will receive a handsome allowance by application to Lee and Co. Market Street, Baltimore. January 17. rawt.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted 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 500 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 more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. 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 it 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 Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, 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 our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting 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 Representatives of the United States. The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective vocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, 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 many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting 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.
