UNION TAVERN.
In George-Town, upon the Potomak, is FOR SALE. Upon the premises, on the first Monday in May next.
THIS Tavern was built by the Subscription of a number of gentlemen as a necessary and useful improvement to the town—It cost 16000 dollars in the year 1796 when materials and workmanship were much cheaper than at this time. The terms of Subscription were that it should be sold to the highest bidder on the day above mentioned.
It is a handsome, substantial brick building, of three stories, fronting sixty feet on the main public street in the town, and running back sixty three feet upon a wide and convenient street—The house is admirably calculated for a tavern. It contains upon the first floor four large rooms, one of them 30 by 80 feet and another 23 by 30, besides a large bar and dress-ing room, upon the second floor is an elegant assembly room, 60 by 30 feet, and three convenient lodging rooms. Upon the third floor are ten excellent lodging rooms—the garnet admits a division of ten more. There is also a good kitchen and commodious cellars sufficient for such a house. Passages and cross passages inter-locked the house in such a manner as to make each room private.
There are stables sufficient for the accommo-dation of fifty to sixty, with convenient sheds for carriages—attached to the building are three lots of 60 feet by 120 each, which front on three streets, and in the back yard and not so yards from the kitchen is a copious and never failing spring of most excellent running water.
The nature of improvements and their con-venience to the city of Washington must render this property a most desirable acquisition to any person who may wish to carry on a tavern upon an extensive scale. The immediate removal of the government of the United States must re-ceive to its full and complete fruition.
The terms of sale are, one third in cash—one third in 120 days, and the other third in 240 days, to be secured by approved notes ne-gotiable at the Bank of Columbia or at either of the Banks in Baltimore, possession to be given on the day of sale and a perfect title made clear, all incumbrances, on the last payment being made.

FOR THE CURE OF FITS.
The patent Antispasmodic Elixir.
Convulsion, Hysteria, or Epileptic Falling Fits, Are effectually cured by this excellent medicine.
Its virtues are absolutely specific and unparal-leled. It has failed in no instance within the knowledge of the proprietor (where taken agree-able to the directions, and with perseverance) the most dreadful Fits ever known. One case of cure only is subjoined out of a considerable number, as proof of its efficacy attested before the Lord Mayor of London.
AFFIDAVIT.
"I, James Pocock, of No. 40, North-street, in the Parish of St. Luke's Middlesex, do make oath—That I was grievously afflicted with fits for upwards of 15 years! and that to so violent a degree, as to require 12 men to hold me in them, to prevent me dashing myself to pieces. They would generally last me 5, 6, and often 7 hours; in consequence of which my constitu-tion became quite emaciated. I made applica-tion to many eminent gentlemen of the faculty, who afforded me no relief whatever; till I ap-plied to Dr. James Church of the City Road, who prescribed his Antispasmodic Elixir for me, which I took, and which alone cured me of these most dreadful fits, and restored me to perfect health. This deponent further maketh oath, and saith, that it is now two years since he was first cured of his fits, and he has no re-turn whatever of them since. JAMES POCOCK. Sworn before me at the Mansion-house, this 29th day of August, 1796. William Curtis, Mayor. Prepared (only) by the Inventor and sole Proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Dispen-sary, 137, Front Street, near the Fly-Market, New-York; and sold by Messrs. H. & P.

TO THE NERVOUS, WEAK, DEBILITATED, SEDENTARY and CONSUMPTIVE,
IS RECOMMENDED, THE CELEBRATED BOTANICAL TEA, Instead of Foreign Tea.
THIS Tea is universally approved of in prefer-ence to foreign tea, as the most pleasant, wholesome, enlightening, invigorating, and power-ful restorative ever adopted, for persons of all ages, but particularly those of the above description; as it will infallibly strengthen, and eventually repair a bad constitution. It is taken for breakfast instead of foreign tea, and as our first aliment in the morning is designed to recruit the waste of the body from the night's insensible perspiration; it is well known, and an important fact which ought to be borne on the mind of every one, that foreign teas are inad-equate to such purposes, as all will allow; it un-nerves and wears the substance of the solids. This substitute is professionally approved as a salutary and nourishing diet, or as a morning and afternoon beverage.
THE BOTANICAL TEA
is singularly efficacious in all cases of inward weak-ness, trembling or shaking of the hands, loss of ap-petite, (particularly in the morning) depression of spirits, windy complaints. It speedily relieves the head and stomach in gouty or rheumatic cases; and in cases of weak digestion, but particularly after making too free with the constitution, by an in-moderate use of wine, spirituous liquors, or any in-temperance; it is happily suited to hot climates, and is adopted and approved of by some of the first families in the United States and in the West In-dies, for its nourishing and invigorating proper-ties; and in bilious cases where the appetite has failed, it is a sovereign remedy. As proofs of the evil tendency from the use of foreign teas, is subjoined the opinions of some of the first physicians in Europe.
ON FOREIGN TEA.
"The cause of the palsty is drinking too much tea; many imagine tea has no ill effect upon the nerves, this however is a mistake: it affects the nerves, which is evident from its causing the hands to shake, preventing sleep, occasioning giddiness, dimness of sight, tickness, &c. Dr. BUCHAN.
"Strong infusions of India Tea, not only un-nerves but destroys the bodily functions" Dr. H. SMITH.
And in another publication, Dr. Hugh Smith says, "Tea is hurtful both to the stomach and nerves; it causes phrenitis, delirium, apoplexy, and other disorders of the brain, which are pro-duced by the nerves being thus disarranged and debilitated, the digestive faculty of the stomach is much weakened, and the body falling of the re-cruiting juices, must tend to emaciation and the whole frame thus rendered one system of distress and infirmity"
The justly celebrated Dr. Tillot says, "This fashionable beverage, India Tea, is extremely per-nicious, it destroys the strength of the stomach, the viscera, the blood, the nerves, and eventually the whole body."
Dr. Moliere says, "In bilious complaints, tea is extremely hurtful."
Dr. Fothergill. "Tea is very offensive to the lungs, and impedes respiration; it is therefore highly improper for persons who have a difficulty of breathing, or any complaint of the lungs or nerves."
Dr. Saunders says, (see his Medical Mem) "Indian tea renders men impotent and women barren; hence we may account for the persons in the higher circles having fewer children, and those in general very sickly and unhealthy."
For more accounts of this tea, see the second edition of Dr. Church's pamphlet.
This botanical tea is calculated to produce the contrary effects, is the result of long and indefa-tigable study and experience, and by perseveringly adopting its use, will be found to answer the ef-fects herein mentioned.
It is cheaper than India tea—one packet at 75 cents, will lift one person for breakfast nearly one month—cannisters containing eight packets, five dollars.
** The celebrated BOTANICAL TEA is pre-pared only by Dr. James Church, at his Dispen-sary, No. 137 Front-Street, near the Fly-Market, New-York, and sold wholesale and retail, by Messrs. H. and P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia, and Mr. Jas. Rice, Baltimore. February 25.

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 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. 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.
*$* Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.
Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred have been transmitted to our days! Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation.
*$* 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 avocations, 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 hath 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."

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 8.
Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vulnus instantis tyranni, Mente quait solida.
The following proposition is said to have been submitted to the Senate of the United States, by the celebrated author of "THE ALIENS," an heroic comic Poem:
Between the word "Senate," and the word "and," in the fourth line from the end of the resolution submitted a few days since, respecting the Aurora, to insert "and that the said committee be also directed to enquire, who is the editor of the newspaper printed in the said city, called "Gazette of the United States, and Philadelphia Daily Advertiser." And by what means the said editor became possessed of the votes in the Senate on the bill sent from the House of Representatives, for suspending the enlistments of the twelve regiments, &c. As published in the said newspaper, bearing date the 13th of February instant; and by what authority he published those votes partially, and under the classification contained in the said newspaper; and also whether the said editor is the author of sundry assertions, observations and reflections, immediately preceding and following the statement of the said votes, and published in the said paper, and of concerning the Senate of the United States, and the members thereof in their official capacity.
As it may give some satisfaction to this learned and inquisitive gentleman, as well as to his illustrious compeers, I will answer his questions, notwithstanding the Senate refused him their permission to put them.
I am the editor of that unfortunate Gazette, which, it appears, has given such mortal offence to the sage eleven, and perhaps to more than eleven thousand of their illuminated associates throughout the country. I am well pleased that this motion was made by our author, and equally well pleased that it was supported by the men whose names appear in the affirmative. The enquiry concerning "the means by which the said Editor became possessed of the votes in the Senate on the bill sent from the House of Representatives for suspending the enlistments of the twelve regiments, &c." must appear not a little curious to the reader, when he reflects that the proceedings of the Senate, and its Journals, containing a statement of all the votes, are public, and that our author knew these circumstances to exist. I can therefore, make a very straight, and I presume a satisfactory answer to this question also. I copied the votes from the public journals.
Q. 3. as to the partial publication of the votes, is no less singular than the former; as the word refers to the omission of the name of Mr. Ross, left out by the carelessness of the printers. Now, as Mr. Ross was one

The reports of an armistice having been concluded with the Chouans, by General Hédouville, are untrue.
By a gentleman from Lancaster, we learn that a resolve had been laid on the table of the House of Representatives of this State, by Mr. Penrose, for the removal of the seat of Government back again to this city. The subject was to have come before the House yesterday; and, it is expected, there is a majority in favor of it.
The noted LANKFORD HERON, has been lately sentenced in the Supreme Court of this State, to four years imprisonment; on conviction of four several Larcenies.
Before judgment had been passed, it is said, Dr. Leib signed a petition to the Governor for his pardon.
JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States of America TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
PETER COLLIN, Esq. having produced to me his commission as Vice Consul of his Majesty, the King of Sweden, for the State of Maryland, I do hereby recognize him as such, and declare him free to exercise and enjoy such functions, powers and privileges as are allowed to Vice Consuls of his said Majesty the King of Sweden.
IN TESTIMONY Whereof, I have caused these letters to be made patent, and the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Given under my hand, at the City of Philadelphia the twentieth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred, and of the Independence of the said States the twenty-fifth.

Baltimore, March 4. The ship Light Horse, Gibson, from Bremen, and Sch. Regulator, from Havana, are in the river.
Arrived yesterday, brig Nancy, Creighton, 21 days from Cape Francois. Sailed in company with brig Betty and Peggy; Schooner William, M'Bride, for Baltimore, and Sch. Maria, for Alexandria.
Capt. C. failed on the 10th February, at which time there were no United States vessels in the harbour, nor any account of any vessel having been detained by Toulaint. The General Greene, in company with 2 other United States vessels, were cruising off that port.
On the day of sailing, spoke the United States ship Constitution, captain Talbot, who informed of the taking of the Two Angels. But this intelligence was not received at the cape when capt. C. failed.
We further learn by this arrival, that a number of Toussaint's forces, who were besieging Jacquetel, had been inveigled into that town by the enemy, by whom they were all cut to pieces—that the siege, however, continued, and that a squadron belonging to Toussaint, who were on their way to the bay of Leogane to co-operate with his land forces, had been fallen in with by the English and all captured.

FRIDAY, March 7.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill declaring the assent of Congress to certain acts of the States of Maryland and Georgia; were referred to the committee of revival and unfinished business.
Mr. Kitchell presented a petition of H. Douglass and Co. praying a duty may be laid on the importation of coach trimmings sufficient to encourage the manufacture of those articles in the United States. Referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
Mr. Spaight, from the committee appointed for that purpose, reported a bill to alter the times of holding the district court of North Carolina; which was read a first and second time, and committed for Monday next.
Mr. Harper presented a petition of about 50 families, residing in a tract of territory ceded by the State of South Carolina to the United States, stating that they were left unprotected and unacknowledged by any civil authority, and praying to be placed under such government as Congress in their wisdom may see fit. Referred to a select committee to consider and report thereon.
Mr. Macon presented a petition of a number of the inhabitants of North Carolina, on the subject of lands ceded to the United States by that State. Referred to a select committee.

Legislature of Pennsylvania.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, February 15.
The committee to whom was referred the 11th instant, the petition of a number of the inhabitants of Wheatfield township, Westmoreland county, praying the removal from office of Samuel Elder, a justice of peace in said county, made report, which was read as follows, viz.
That they have had the subject referred to them under consideration, and it appears that from an examination of documents in the office of the Secretary of the commonwealth, the said Samuel Elder was commissioned as a justice of the peace for the township of Wheatfield, on the 21 day of February, 1797; and that he was naturalized in a court of nisi prius held at Sunbury in the county of Northumberland, on the 12th day of April, 1799.
From the above facts, the committee are of opinion that the said Samuel Elder was not qualified to exercise the duties of said office at the time he was commissioned: They therefore offer the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to draft an address to the Governor, requesting that said Samuel Elder may be removed from the office of justice of peace, which he now holds in the county aforesaid. Ordered to lie on the table.
On motion of Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Snyder,
Resolved, That the committee appointed on the law of the State of Maryland, entitled "An act to incorporate a company for the purpose of cutting and making a canal between the river Delaware and the Chesapeake bay," be instructed to enquire and report on the expediency or inexpediency of repealing the third section of the act of Assembly, entitled "An act to enable the Governor of this commonwealth to appoint commissioners to ascertain the best route for, and mode of effecting a communication between the waters of the Delaware and Chesapeake bay, and appropriating a sum of money for opening the navigation of the river Susquehanna down to the Maryland line;" and also to enquire and report, if at this time there are any measures which ought to be taken on the part of this State, for obtaining the concurrence of the Legislature of the State of Delaware, for the purpose of effecting the aforesaid canal.

TO THE PATRONAGE OF A liberal and enlightened Community IS SUBMITTED THE PROSPECTUS OF A New Daily Paper, TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE OF THE OBSERVER,
AND Daily Repository of useful Information.
IT will doubtless be deemed a hazardous undertaking to present to the public eye proposals for a new Gazette, when so many are already in possession of the public patronage.
News-papers so much more generally diffused throughout America than perhaps any other portion of the globe, may become either engines of mischief or the implements of useful news—they disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thousands; and although it may be presumptuous in the Editor of that now proposed to expect that its utility will be great, yet he may be admitted to declare, that it shall not willingly be made the means of doing evil.
His endeavors will be applied to render The Observer in some degree conducive to the attainment of knowledge as well as to the communication of news—to enlighten the understanding—to improve the morals—to beget, or to confirm, a reverence for the sacred principles of Christianity.
For this purpose it is intended—
To furnish the most recent foreign and domestic intelligence;
To give useful Prices Current at home and abroad, and other commercial information;
To select from literary productions such portions as may gratify taste and induce improvement;
To unfold and enforce sound and just views of government;
To aid the great interests of piety and morality.
To present occasionally—
Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agriculture and domestic economy;
Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures;
Reports of the Heads of Departments, and of interesting cases adjudged in the several courts of the United States, &c.
Reviews of foreign and domestic literature;
Anecdotes and characters of distinguished persons;
Marriages, Births, Deaths.
Statistical tables;
Meteorological observations;
Appointments;
With these proposals the subscriber different-ly submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his native land, and viewing with anxious fears and hopes the success of a government created by the joint exertions of wisdom and virtue, and conducted with sound policy and genuine patriotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and national prosperity.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Observer shall be printed with a neat type, and on paper of equal size and quality with the present Philadelphia daily papers.
II. It shall be published every evening, and regularly sent to the houses of the city subscribers.
To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions.
III. The price will be Eight Dollars per annum to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and directing their papers.
IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the expiration of twelve months from the publication of the first number. The succeeding payments to be half yearly.
V. Advertisements that do not exceed in length the breadth of the column will be 67 cents for the first, and 33 cents for every additional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion.

To Parents, Tutors and Guardians of Youth, by S. SOLOMON, M. D. F. R. S. S.
Every person, young and old, should purchase this book, there being scarcely an individual who is not interested in some part of it. In particular it is recommended to young men and boys; as an early attention to the latter may serve to guide them against a fatal rock on which thousands have split, and be the means of preserving their bodies from disease, and also their souls, their minds, and all their faculties from destruction.
This truly interesting work has been the labour of many years experience and observation on the calamitous consequences of a secret and destructive vice, to obtain a remedy against which, the Doctor has devoted a principal part of his life. No proprietors of Boarding Schools or Academies should be without it—(Price one Dollar.)
