NO RISK! To Merchants, Store Keepers and Tradesmen in general, &c.
[You will oblige me by reading this advertisement throughout] I RESPECTFULLY invite you either to the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis' Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Franklin's Head, or to the George, to examine a specimen of Rowlett's Tables of Discount or Interest, on every Dollar, from 1 to 2,000; on every ten, from 2000 to 2500; on every fifty from 2500 to 3000; and on every five hundred from 3000 to 5000; from one day to 64 days inclusive, at six per cent. comprising in the whole, upwards of one hundred and thirty two thousand one hundred and fifty calculations of discount; all performed according to the equitable principles of the Banks, and as practiced between individuals throughout the United States; being a perfect standard on the subject; with notes, showing how to use the tables at five, seven and eight per cent. reckoning either 360 or 365 days to the year, and the mode of calculation on cents; to which is added, the principles of computation of the various exchanges between each State respectively, and between these and London and Paris, at different rates of exchange. The work is dedicated, by permission, to the President and Directors of the Bank of North America, and has already received the patronage of JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States; of THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate; of a large number of the Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of the United States; and of the Presidents and Directors of the different Banks unanimously:—a list of the whole is printed and attached to the specimen book. The preface to the specimen explains, among other matters, the methods to be pursued to render the work perfectly accurate—and gentlemen who will reflect on those methods will agree in the fact. Every one will acknowledge the arduousness of the undertaking. The expenses, independent of any compensation for my trouble, will require a sum between three and four thousand dollars, which is two much to hazard—all must depend therefore upon a general subscription; for unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained, it would certainly be imprudent to execute the work. Subscribers can run no risk, as the book (which will be quarto, from 200 to 225 pages, or more—price two dollars) is not to be paid for until delivered rigorously conformable to my engagements expressed in the conditions annexed to the specimen; which consists of six detached pages of the work.
A table of all the post towns in the United States, and some other useful information (not expressed in the title) will follow the computations of exchanges between this country and England and France; and provided, gentlemen, that a sufficient number of you come forward and subscribe, a further addition shall be made of the coins and money of account of the principal maritime trading places in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and in several of the windsward and leeward West India Islands , the whole reduced to dollars and cents; and the mode of computing the exchange with these places explained; also, a large sheet table of calculations at compound interest at 6 per cent. to which the notes for 5, 7 and 8 per cent. will apply—the tables used in banks for the determination of the value of gold; and the interest for each month from one to twelve months, which will make the work still more acceptable to persons living in the country as well as in town; and upon the whole, I am confident, that this book will be found as generally useful and convenient as any matter of fact-performance that ever entered a counting house or store. It is not sufficient that an individual (considering himself but one) shall conclude, instead of subscribing, to purchase the book when published, as some of the members of the House of Representatives of the United States have done; for, however much I am obliged to these, the loss of many ONES' subscriptions may lose me the race, and the book may never be published. I repeat, that nothing is to be paid in advance. And am, very respectfully, Gentlemen, Your humble servant,  JOHN ROWLETT, Accomptant Bank North America.
Postscript.—Gentlemen who have business at either of the Banks, or at the Philadelphia Library, will have an opportunity of subscribing there, as well as at the Taverns, &c. before mentioned. Copy right secured according to act of Congress. March 6. T&S&EW

RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New-town, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 23d January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto to 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 cloths with her—she went off with a negro fellow, named Peter, and calls herself Peter Simpson, he is the property 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 neighborhood of Salem in the Jerseys, as they were there in October last, and by information, Peter had built himself an house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed, as Peter can write a middling hand; it is probable Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away. The noted Ferry-man Charles, who calls himself Charles Rodney; he went off on the 18th of February last, he is a dark mulatto, about five feet eight or nine inches high, about forty years old, stoops in his shoulders when he walks, a scar on his head very perceptible—he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years old, her mane trimmed and bob tail, and her clothing unknown, as she carried off a variety of cloths; 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 hire himself to drive a waggons, being well acquainted with that business, driving for the army during the war; he also perhaps may have a pass. The above reward will be given for the aforesaid two negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if taken out of the state, or twenty dollars for Nanny and child, if taken in this state, & 20 dollars for 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&fa4w.

THOMAS CLAYTON RESPECTFULLY informs his friends and the public generally, that he has removed the whole Stock-in-Hand of the late firm of J. J. MALCOM & Co. to the corner of Fifth and Fothergill's Golden Head, No. 97. 5th Street, directly opposite the City Tavern, where the business in all future transactions will be carried on under the name of WILLIAM LEHMAN & Co. March 6. d6t.
A MISLAKEN. AS Mr. Thomas Clayton, in his advertisement above, has indirectly asserted that I have declined business, I feel it my duty to inform my friends and the public, that I continue the Drug and Apothecary Business, as usual, at the old stand, corner of Fothergill's Golden Head, No. 26, South Second Street, a little below opposite Black Horse Alley, where may be had, constantly, every article in the line.

WATER-OFFICE. Genes Square, February 5, 1800. IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for the City of Philadelphia, with my own incumbrances, every possible admittance and convenience have been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during the present season. The Engines are now arrived, and as immediately to be put up, and it is hoped it will be thought reasonable and just both to the Public, and to the Contractors for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper. B. H. ATROBE, Engineer. February 13. d6t.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 15.
THE LAY PREACHER.  "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, shamefacedness and sobriety." THE speculations of the moralist upon dress will be viewed as important when considered as regarding an object which indicates, with no trifling accuracy, the manners of a people. In a recent age, it has, therefore, often been the business of the moralist to expose its absurdities; and as the lay-preacher, from evident reasons, is forcibly designated prevailing vitiation of taste and corruption of morals.
The fashion and practice of the day call loudly for an enforcement of the precept of the Apostle; and the manners of our time demand, that the fair be exhorted to "adorn themselves in modest apparel." So perverse is the prevailing taste, as to warrant the prediction, that unless the dress of the female revert to a stricter countenance with the long established ideas of modesty, the standard itself will be lost; and no criterion be known but from the variable voice of capricious fashion. A silent and constant encroachment has already worn deeply upon feeling and opinion; and we have been gradually brought to regard, with coldness and indifference, spectacles, which, in the days of good Queen Bess, would have been considered as outraging all sense of propriety.
Where the fashion is so powerful, there is strong ground to presume the absence of the virtue itself. If the female regard not its display in her outward appearance, it may be inferred, that she has become wholly estranged from its influence. For, this is, confessedly, the last stage in the abandonment of modesty; and when audacity has become so consummate, as avowedly to contemn even the specious appearance of a compliance with its dictates, it may well be concluded, that the unnatural parent has lifted its voice, or become deaf to its gentle suggestions. What shall we say then?—Is there virtue in the woman, who artfully seeks to display the rich luxuriance of nature's charms, at the hazard and expense of sporting with all claim to chaste appearance? Is there not corruption in the heart of her, who sets at naught the sentiments and feelings, which have been consecrated by lengthened currency and habitual observance?—Is there worth in the female, who tramples upon what what she has herself been educated to revere as good decorum, at the capricious instance of an idle fashion-monger? These questions are important, though they will pass unregarded by the pitiable being, who, in the whirl of giddiness and frivolity, has lost reflection.
It is a subject of no small astonishment, that modes and fashions should be so readily and indiscriminately adopted, without regard to their origin or use. A despicable courtizan, who commands the gallantries of a vitiated capital, is often known to lead one half the female world by her fantastic whimsies. Generated by the artifice or fancy of a wanton, to subserve the views of sensual conquest, a new fashion speedily obtains extensive currency, is transported to a distant land, and by a blind adoption, ensured by novelty, degenerates the form and confounds the virtue. It cannot but create surprise, that "we are such stuff," as to pride ourselves in habiliments, whose only excellence is recency of invention, and whose origin is from no higher source than a harlot's brain.
An observer of the successive changes and revolutions in female apparel, which occur in modern days, might naturally conclude, that the recent innovations in dress were not produced by Lucretian virtue. They are at too great variance from the old fashioned manners and habits of our virtuous ancestors; and, respecting their design, they speak for themselves a language, which stupidity cannot fail to apprehend. If it be the effect of refinement, that the belle exchanges the "modest apparel," which was wont to "adorn" her sex, for Paphian dress, besetting a Gallic Goddess of Reason, let its progress be flayed ere we are refined into down-right savages.
There is no small entertainment to be derived from the ingenuity, displayed in advocating the use and convenience of the multifarious form and diversified appearance which fashion gives to the female. Fashion is, indeed, a changeable and imperious mistress. Convenience, and even necessity, is controlled by her dictates. At her command, the frame of delicacy requires to be clad in nought but the finest productions of the looms of India. In a day, her sickle temper changes the mandate, and the freezing Icelander is not wrapped more cautiously in his native fur, than is the chit
female in the rough habit of the wintry north. In short, there is no invention in dress, which is not advocated by the clearest logic, and its grossest contrarieties are defended by respective use, beauty and convenience.
In exhorting the fair to "adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety," I shall embrace with readiness the friendly hint of a genuine critic upon life and manners, to touch upon a prevalent "cheating, uncleanly and unhealthy practice." The mischiefs of face painting have been amply expatiated on, and its evil consequences repeatedly detailed; but the author extends with an alarming progress.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
An edition of that invaluable work, the Pursuits of Literature, after having been protracted two long, is at length undertaken by two persons, worthy to print a classical poem. Messrs. Dickinson and Maxwell have commenced the publication, and it will shortly appear from their beautiful press. It will actually be printed on better paper, and with fairer types, than those employed by Becke in his English edition. Of seven editions it will contain all the progressive additions and improvements, together with the author's translation of the numerous classical quotations, &c. and will be sold for two dollars, the sterling price in the city of London for the original. As this is a work, little known in America, and from its high cost, exuberance of learning, and profundity of remark, restrained to the studies of the few, it may not be amiss to state, briefly, some particulars, respecting the Author, and the scope of this poem. The Poet, who has in this work, found, resounded with "hallowed voice" the praise of ancient literature, and OLD FASHIONED PRINCIPLES, has affected the studies of Janus, and driven hard to return, not inglorious, but safe, behind the shield of secrecy. This case, it appears, has been frustrated; and it is now well known that the author is Mr. MATTHIAS, a clerk in the Queen's Treasury. He seems, to have been from infancy an indefatigable reader of all kinds of good books; to be equally familiar with the luxurious Hind and the mellifluous Musan; to have accustomed his ear to the solemn dignity of the Spanish tongue, and to have read with equal diligence the epics of Spain and Italy, the Cantos of Ariosto, and the sonnets of Petrarch. Nor is his extensive range through all the departments of useful and brilliant literature his highest praise. He appears, every where to be a good man, as well as a fine writer. He is an implacable foe to French principles, abhors revolution, venerates establishments, exhorts to "whatsoever things are pure," He has no resemblance to Condorcet or Brissot. He "holds no fellowship with their deeds of darkness." He does not labor, like the vain and vaporing Sclolists of France and America, to degrade Greek and Roman literature from their proud elevation. Conscious of the manifold service, which the classics render to sentiment and to style, to the heart and the head, he applauds the ancients, in lines which the ancients themselves would not disown. Of the necessary, immutable and useful distinction of ranks in society he is a zealous assertor. He does not dream that a king is nothing more than Louis Capet, and that a Queen is an ordinary Elizabeth or Mary. To the aristocracy of wealth, talents and virtue he does not "bow popularly low," but respectfully courteous, and cheerfully pays his tribute unto Cæsar.
The principles of the university of Oxford, the decency and dignity of the English church, the high toned doctrines of Bishop Horsley, "the state, the laws, the altar and the throne" are in the front of his themes. Hence, to "the rabble rout" of philosophers, atheists, clippers of constitutions, and coiners of treason, to dissenting hawkers of illumination, to Kots-bus with his Ensal scenes, to Holcroft with his traitorous novels, to Thelwall with his Poissarde voice, to Wakefield with his lying libels, and to Priestley with his Birmingham ware, brazen, brittle and base, he is a gallant and persevering enemy. Such an union of vigorous verse and pure principles, such a mass of learning, most laudably exerted, such moral doctrine, and such caustic wit should ensure to the author the most lively applause. His objects are of the highest kind. He is no ordinary scribbler, servile to baseness and vulgarity. In the words of Sir Thomas Smyth, "he bears the port, charge and countenance of a gentleman," and might be deservedly classed by a Horace Walpole in the catalogue of noble authors. He writes from the liberal views of an English gentleman, and his Poem, as he informs us in the threshold of his undertaking "was written upon no private motive whatsoever, but fully and solely as the conduct of the persons mentioned or alluded to, or the manner of their compositions, or the principles of their writings tend to influence and affect the LEARNING, THE GOVERNMENT, THE RELIGION, THE PUBLIC MORALITY, THE PUBLIC HAPPINESS, and the PUBLIC SECURITY OF THE NATION." He is a bold, and well principled writer. He speaks harshly, but he speaks truth. In his own words
"He swells no venal voice In the full freedom of a Briton's choice Censure or praise let others seek or fear: Look at my verse, the superfluous there, 'Tis the cause that I defend; 'tis yours, 'tis mine, The statesman's and the peasant's. In my line All find in me a patron and a friend Unseen, unknown, unshaken to the end. Yes, from the depths of Pindus shall my rymes Through this misordered world, these lawless times Be heard in Albion and her utmost state; — All that the good revere and bad men hate In spirit and in substance, as of old, The Mule in the Asses's skin shall be told. Osarvus, yes, it is, it shall be mine, With grace appropriate still to grace my line, To mark where GENIUS soars, beyond control With Maonian judgment and the Theban foul. Correct, majestic, copious, full and strong, In arts, in arms, in eloquence, or song, Still proud to vindicate unfeigned, unknown The state, the laws, the altar and the throne."
In conformity to his professions, he is a strenuous defender of government, and a humble worshipper at the shrine of Christianity. His lines on the union of poetry and piety evince the sterling goodness of the author. "How sweet the charm that sense to virtue binds. The SOCIAL SYMPATHY OF LEARNED MINDS, The common interest, universal cause, And all that Piety to Genius draws. How sweet to hear on the Parnassian mount, Mild waters welling from the sacred fount;
Oh, never may Castalia's streams divide From Siloa's brook, and Jordan's shallow tide." It is a curious circumstance in the history of Mr. Matthias that from the duties of the desk, and the dry rolls of diplomacy he could turn with such versatility to innumerable pages of ancient lore, and miscellaneous writing; that he is both a useful and favored officer, and an ingenious and learned writer. The example is salutary to liberal and aspiring youth. They may learn that if they forsake "the primrose path of dalliance" and to genius add industry, and to industry, perseverance, and to perseverance, lively hope, and to lively hope, alacrity; they may conjoin the useful and the brilliant, and find time to discharge various and claiming duties. From the history of this man's life and writings it will likewise be discerned that true literary glory, and a still higher renown, the praise of high duties well discharged result from a reverence for classical learning, an ardent attachment to letters in general, a close study of long approved models, respect for government and laws and hatred of all those projects of innovation, which Milton expressly calls "new fangled foolery." For all this Mr. Matthias appears eminent; and grounded in such principles, and taking a large and liberal view of literature and of life, he has produced a work, which will live, perhaps as long as those ancients, with whose spirit he appears so thoroughly imbued. We exhort the liberal students and gentlemen of our country to read and remember this Poem. It will not teach them the arts of pedantry, nor suggest schemes to overreach the Bermudians. It will not inspire hatred of England and love of France, but will teach them to fear above avarice, to cherish learning, to support government, et spernere vulgus.
Mr. James Humphreys, to whose good judgment the public are indebted lately for the republication of two valuable religious tracts from the pen of the pious Edward King, and of the Christian champion, the Bishop of Rochester, has in the press an edition of Park's travels into the interior of Africa. This is a good book, and the "Traveler's history," which it contains, was the fruit of the intrepidity, scientific curiosity, courage, and address of an amiable Scotch surgeon, whose character and talents, the inquisitive may find very favorably described in the first vol. of the European magazine for 1799, a well conducted miscellany. The ingenuity and perseverance of the North Briton are well known, and the liberality of the South Briton is no less conspicuous. In the case of Mr. Park, the talents and exertions of the one were encouraged from the part of the other. The Royal African Society "furnished him forth;" grateful science and liberal rewards, and public favor greeted his return. Wealth cheerfully gave from its store to genius, and among a generous people, the just reward for useful exertion was neither asked nor bestowed in the beggarly spirit of date obulum Belisario. This is a strange doctrine to the disciples of Ben Franklin, and to the small, speculating, huckstering pedlar wherever the muck worm makes his hole. These wretched men have no clearer vision of munificence and generosity than "the poor beetle that we tread upon;" than the darkling grub, sunken in the soil, has of the "wide effulgence of a summer day." Mr. Hawkins a traveller, and a lover of letters, has commenced at Boston, the publication of a monthly journal, which he calls the "Columbian Phoenix and Boston Review." The first number for January has been received, and shall be candidly noticed by one, who well knows, from bitter experience, the numberless obstacles, which thwart the progress of a man of letters in America. The editor of this magazine has a peculiar claim to tenderness and favorable criticism, not only for the propriety of his plan, and the respectability of his literary acquirements, but from the circumstance of his laboring under the complicated evils of blindness and adversity. We shall, therefore, speak of his work in the spirit of that charity which is kind. It is another brilliant proof of the energy of the mental powers and most honorable to Mr. H. that he is not blind at the lamp of literature, and that with MILTON, he may speak of the absence of light and the presence of the muse.
Though thou Revisit'st not these eyes, that roll in vain To find thy piercing ray, and find no dawn; So thick a drop serene hath quenched their orbs, Or dim suffusion veil'd. Yet not the more Cease I to wander where the Muses haunt Clear spring, or shady grove, or sunny hill. An analysis of this magazine, and a cheerful gift of "Honor to whom honor is due," must, from the narrowness of our limits, be reserved for another article. To be continued.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, March 14.
The bill for removing troops for places of holding election, was read a third time and passed; and the title declared to be "An act to prevent the interference of any Military force in certain elections."
The bill intituled "An act to alter the times of holding the District Court in North Carolina," was read a third time and passed.
The house took up the amendment of the Senate to the bill allowing a drawback of duties on goods exported to New Orleans, and therein to amend the act regulating the collection of duties on imports and tonnage, and disagreed to the same, only five members voting in favour of it.
The Senate proposed to insert "from and after the tenth day of April next, thereby fixing the operation of the act from that period."
Mr. Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Secretary of War, including a report on the several petitions referred to him of sundry persons of the state of Georgia, who prayed compensation for Military Services rendered the United States.
The report was committed to a committee of the whole house, and made the order of the day for Monday next.
Mr. Harper said, it had been represented to him, that there was considerable deficit in the law requiring the payment of money from the Collectors of the Revenue into the Treasury; that the Secretary felt himself very much inconvenienced, and was frequently trifled with by these officers, from whom there existed no sufficient compulsory means to enforce payment; he therefore moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire and report by bill or otherwise, whether any and what further provisions are necessary to be made by law, for compelling the receivers of public money to account for and pay over the same. Carried.
Mr. Jones said, the irregular intercourse with the Indian tribes, had been found to operate very oppressively on individuals in the state of Georgia, and expensively to the United States, as the trial of offenders under that act must be had before one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Georgia, who resided at the distance of 150 miles from the frontiers, where offences under this act are committed; and must be conveyed for such trial under an escort of U. S. Troops, however trivial and harmless the offence may be, and slight the punishment prescribed for it. Supposing, as he did, that the inferior courts were competent to execute the provisions of the act, Mr. Jones moved the following resolution, with a view to that effect, viz.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire and report whether any, and if any what alterations are expedient in the law for regulating trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and for preserving peace on the frontiers; and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made an unfavourable report on the petition of —Somerville, which was committed for Monday next.
Mr. Leib presented a petition of Jacob Dager, a waggoner in the continental service, praying compensation; and also a petition of Jacob Dieman, a soldier during the revolutionary war, praying to be placed on the pension list—which were referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Sumpter presented a petition of John Brown, stating, that by a legacy left a certain society, for the purpose of the annual importation of books to the value of 50l. to be distributed gratis among the poor, he had incurred payment of duty thereon, and praying that Congress would grant him an order on the Collector of the port of Charleston, for monies already paid, and for future importations as aforesaid, may be free of duty.
Referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
Mr. Harrison, from the select committee appointed on the subject of public lands, reported a bill to amend the act, intituled an act to provide for selling the lands of the United States in the territory N. W. of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river; which was read a first and second time, and committed for Monday next.
Mr. Harrison presented a letter from Governor St. Clair, inclosing a petition of a number of the inhabitants of the county of Knox, in the territory N. W. of the river Ohio, praying a division of said territory; which were read, and ordered to be printed.
Gr. Griswold, from the select committee to whom was referred the petition of sundry aliens, resident in Mount Pleasant, State of New-York, praying an exemption from the operation of the Naturalization law, and to be allowed to make their declaration under the act in force prior to its passing; the committee are of opinion, that the prayer of the petitioners ought not to be granted.
The report was made a first and second time, and committed for Monday next.
The House went into committee of the whole on the report of the select committee, to whom was referred the petition of Capt. Weis, and others, of the Mississippi territory; when the resolutions authorising the establishment of a legislature, &c. in that territory, were agreed to, with amendments, and a bill ordered to be brought in pursuant thereto.
The bill to fix the compensation of the Pay Master General, and of the Assistant to the Adjutant General, was taken up in committee of the whole, agreed to and ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on Monday next.
On motion of Mr. S. Smith, the House came to the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to remit any forfeitures which shall occur, or may have occurred, under the laws of the United States prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition, under the same provision which the Secretary is authorised to remit for forfeitures incurred under the revenue laws; and that they be authorised to report by bill, or otherwise.
Mr. H. Lee called up for consideration, the resolution which he laid on the table, relative to Post Roads; and the house having adopted the resolution, on motion of Mr. Dawson, those of Mr. Harper, on a similar subject, were referred to the same committee.
The House went into committee of the whole on the bill to extend the privilege of obtaining patents for useful discoveries and inventions, to certain persons therein mentioned, and to enlarge and define the penalties for violating the rights of patentees; when
Mr. Griswold moved to strike out the first section of the bill, which provides that an alien after a residence of two years, shall be entitled to patents for useful discoveries and inventions, &c.
Messrs. Harper, Smith, Rutledge and Otis, opposed this motion, and Messrs. Kittera and Griswold spoke in favour of it; and contended that foreigners might, under this section of the bill, obtain a complete monopoly of the whole American market. After some observations from Mr. Otis, who wished an amendment might be introduced which should provide that the patent to be granted to any alien should continue to his benefit during his residence in this country only—the committee rose, reported progress and obtained leave to sit again.
The House went into Committee of the whole on the report of the select committee on the petition of John Mountjoy; and the resolution reported by the committee, authorising the proper officers to issue a land warrant to said Mountjoy in lieu of one said to be lost, Messrs. D. Foster and Macon opposed it, and wished to make a general question whether all warrants lost or destroyed, ought to be renewed.
Mr. Griswold was of the same opinion, and moved that the committee rise, for the purpose of having this petition, and all others of a similar nature referred to a select committee, with instructions to report on the expediency of passing a general law on the subject.
The Committee having rose, and leave refused to sit again, the proposition of Mr. G. was adopted, and the committee instructed by a resolution of the house, to inquire into the expediency of authorising the Secretary of War to issue to the officers and soldiers of the continental army, warrants for bounty lands, which may have been obtained from the war-office by fraud or may have been lost or destroyed. Adjourned till Monday.
Legislature of Pennsylvania.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, February 24.
The house met pursuant to adjournment.
A letter signed Samuel W. Fisher, addressed to the Speaker, was read as follows, viz.
SIR, EVER tenacious of the dignity of the House and unconscious of having sought for an occasion of dispute with any member in it, I did not expect a complaint to be exhibited against me by George Logan.
Doctor Logan has stated as much of the transaction, about which he has complained, as suited his own purpose; but I think it due to the house and to myself, that the whole of the matter should come before them. I believe it will then appear that a greater cause of complaint exists on my part, than on the part of the doctor.
I would not trouble the house for a moment, on a subject which I had considered merely as a personal one, if it were not essential to repel the idea of my being the aggressor.
It will be recollected that on the evening alluded to, I had been repeatedly interrupted in debate, contrary to the usual practice of the House, by calls to adjourn. Finding it useless longer to resist the design of the interrupting Members, I did on the third call, as the Speaker may recollect, sit down with the remark, that I believed it would be best for the House to adjourn.—The House then adjourned.
Passing from my seat towards the door, I observed Mr. Fraley on my right hand, and said good humouredly "you dare not stay to hear argument," to which he replied with equal temper, "you are mistaken, we will meet you in argument any time," so we were passing each other, when I heard Doctor Logan say, "It is not because we fear argument, but because we will not listen to your nonsense, (or d—d nonsense,) that we will adjourn." I started with a degree of surprise, at this rude and unprovoked salutation, and turning, asked if that language was intended for me. He said "yes," in an angry tone, and in a manner expressive of determined insult, my reply was, "then you are a puppy," he rejoined "you are a d—d rascal," on which without time to think I gave him a blow.
In a moment I found myself pressed towards the door, by a crowd of members who came up, and as I was pressed backwards, I received three blows in the face by Doctor Logan's hands. The members by this time had intervened, and I lost sight of him. I take the liberty therefore to complain that for language (not personal)
used in my place on the floor of the house, I was wantonly questioned, and abused in unhandy and gross terms, and in an angry and menacing manner by George Logan, a member of this house, after the house had adjourned, and without the shadow of provocation on my part.
As the house have deemed it proper to take cognizance of the business, I request them to dispose of this letter as to them may seem just.
I am, &c. SAMUEL W. FISHER.

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, Asthma, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (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 hal-fans, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, heats the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS Who may have Children affected with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DR. HAMILTON'S Genuine Essence and Extract of MUSTARD.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, &c. a great number of assured cures may be seen at the place of sale. Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative for constitutions debilitated by intemperance of any kind; and for the cure of Nervous Complaints, Inward Weakness, Obstinate Gleet, Fluor Albus in women, &c.
Hamilton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Itch Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops which had never failed effecting a cure, Dr. Hahn's Anibitious Pills, ditto Corn Plaister, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Gowland's Lotion, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE
Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconstancy occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER
FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Those who wish to procure the medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above.  Wholesale purchasers will receive a liberal allowance by application to LEE & Co. Baltimore, who have obtained the general agency for the United States.  Feb. 26. co2w 22awtf.

The Cordial Restorative Balsam
Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disorders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave.
This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak female constitutions, as well as to phlegmatic habits in general; it acts powerfully as a nervine, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system; corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and affords wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs;—Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate seminal gleet in men, and corresponding weaknesses in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, surely and honourably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the unhappy.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours are afflicted with weaknesses and infirmities; in which cases it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weakened organs, and the whole constitution.

For whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudence or inattention in the earliest part of life, or is sinking under the advance of years, a few doses of this medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning health and strength, by giving tone to the muscular system, and organs of digestion, and by renovating the whole constitution.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility; and to the aged and infirm, it will affuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this Restorative is capable of effecting that grand desideratum.
Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this Restorative.
Old coughs soon relieved and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will ere long meet the happiest change; the chill watery fluid become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, fibre and healthful.
