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 to 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 knowledge—either 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;
Statistical tables;
Meteorological observations;
Appointments;
Marriages, Births, Deaths.
With these proposals the subscriber diffidently 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.
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 expence 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.

NO RISK!
To Merchants, Store Keepers and Tradef- men 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, shewing 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 ex- changes between each State respectively, and between them and London and Paris, at differ- ent 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 Presi- dent 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 Di- rectors 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 gen- tlemen 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 compensa- tion 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 cer- tainly 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 affixed 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 computa- tions 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 prin- cipal maritime trading places in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and in several of the windward and leeward West India Islands, the whole reduced to dollars and cents; and the mode of computing the exchange with those 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 con- fident, that this book will be found as generally useful and convenient as any matter of fact-per- formance that ever entered a counting house or store.
It is not sufficient that an individual (consi- dering himself but one) shall conclude, instead of subscribing, to purchase the book when pub- lished, 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 pub- lished. I repeat, that nothing is to be paid in advance.
And am, very respectfully, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accompany Bank North America. P.S. Gentlemen who have business at either of the Banks, or at the Philadelphia Li- brary, will have an opportunity of subscrib- ing there, as well as at the Taverns, &c. before mentioned.

Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vulsus instanti tyranni, Mente quait solida.
From the Shaw of Mess. Colon & Sponde.
AN AUTHOR'S EVENINGS.
I have just looked into Madame Genlis "Les Chevaliers Du Cygne." The style is neat and easy, and remarkable for that be- witching vivacity so conspicuous in French pages. But many of the incidents and scenes are trite and thread-bare. Descrip- tions of the feats and knights of chivalry abound. We have tilts and tournaments, golden helmets and nodding plumes in plen- ty! Prancing courses, splendidly caparison- ed, stand in every stable. Bright lances, fit for immediate use, may be had by every squire, who will ask for them.
"And throngs of ladies, whose bright eyes, Rain influence, and judge the prize Of wit or arms, while both contend To win her grace, whom all commend."
In all this there is much glitter; and brass and gold ring very sweetly, when struck by the fair hand of Madame Genlis. But, this "age of chivalry" may be seen in my anti- quated Don Quixote of Greece, and Felix- marie of Hyrcania, and the legend of Sir Tristram, and in every page of Amadis de Gaul. It is a curious, and may be a profita- ble speculation, to reflect on the vicissitudes of learning and taste, as they respect both the study and the admiration or neglect of legendary lore. In the earlier annals of the Spanish story, we find every high minded Castilian studious of the exaggerated, or fa- bulous tales of Knight errantry, and burn- ing to signalize himself, by the relief of a damsel, the dissolution of an enchantment, the bre. king of a lance, a ride upon a grif- fin, or a encounter with a giant. In the midst of this delusion Satire and CER- VANTES sprang into the list, and knights and squires and dwarfs and damsels, and castles and burning lakes vanished like the morning mists from the mountain. This rout of the whole host of chivalry was so to- tal, that books of knight errantry either re- mained, mouldering in the dust of neglected libraries, or, if opened, were read only as food for spleen, or incentive to merriment. This is the age of revolutions. On a sud- den, in the full blaze of the eighteenth cen- tury, Madame G. whether goaded by the re- proaches of BORKE, or solicited by the fickle and depraved taste of the Parisians, composes, or rather compiles, volumes of the exploits of feudal heroes, and the ceremonies of chiv- alry. We are led backward to the caverns of rudeness. We are introduced to old courtiers, old fashioned courtesy, old preju- dices, excellent however, and like old da- mask and brocade though stiff and unyield- ing, yet serviceable and sound. We have no reason to be ashamed of these acquaint- ance, but we are surprised at this day, to find ourselves in their company. Since Cer- vantes wrote, and since the epoch of French revolution, the fashion of knighthood has passed away. It is difficult, after the pe- rusal of Don Quixote, to restrain merriment at the name of a castle or a knight. The object of Madame de Genlis in leading her reader among tilts and tournaments and "throngs of knights and barons bold" per- haps was to contrast more forcibly the tricks of innovation with the dignified and regular costume of early times, but her object might have been better accomplished by describing the court of Henry of Navarre, rather than that of Charlemagne.
Here, let us rest. To find fault, with books, useful in the main, is an odious task. To speak harshly of a lady, who has deserved so well of morals and literature as Madame de G. is no less repugnant to gallantry and politeness than to found criticism. The principles in these books are excellent. They incite to deeds of valour, justice and benevo- lence. It must not by any means be omit- ted, that this lady is not of the modern French school. She has received her educa- tion under better master than the Abbe Sieyes, or the impious Le Paux. She has evidently been taught according to the straightest sect of a fourth Henry and a four- teenth Louis. She has kneeled at the feet of none of the recent Gallic Gamaliels. She is an ancient gentlewoman, arrayed in court- ly robes, in the gorgeous vestments of Maria Antoinette, not in the flimsy and scanty drapery of Tallien, or in the filthy rags of a suburban Poissarde. Of the revolution mongers and philosophers of Erance, she ex- presses her opinion either in the loud tones of anger, or with the hiss of contempt. It

is truly honorable to this correct and vir- tuous matron that she nourishes a hatred for that false philosophy, the bane of the human race, and in France the grand principle of destruction, the original sin of the govern- ment. Describing the learned conversations in the court of Charlemagne, she sarcastically and expressively subjoins that the discourses of that Prince were not from the academy ; and that he had the good fortune not to name a single philosopher in all his vast dominions. Her sarcasm, she continually repeats, is levied at the pretended philo- sophers, at the professors of impiety, and the reviler of morals and religion, and, to use her own words, literally trans- lated, "she loves and honors from the bot- tom of her soul genuine philosophers, real friends to wisdom and virtue, such as So- crates, Epictetus and Marcus, Aurelius, among the ancients, and, among the mod- erns, Pascal, Massillon, Fenelon, Addison, &c. Such sentiments as these cannot be too frequently repeated, nor too loudly praised. We wish that they would ring thro' America, and that those deluded districts, abused by the mummery of Dr. Phlogiston, and the slight Manchester fabric, the coarse corduroy political of master Cooper, would like the realm of Charlemagne be vacant of philosophers. We want no such tygers in our national Menagerie. We do not like the stuff of which these creatures are made. We do not give a penny to witness any of their tricks and gambols. To use an allu- sion of the learned Selden, "they are surly and spiteful m. fluffs; so long as you feed them, and stroke them, and do not pinch them, peradventure they are quiet, but if you be not wary they will fly at your throat." The very name of a philosopher is sufficient to make any generous blood curdle in the vein. It is of petrifye operation. A catholic spir- it, having the commonweal eminently at heart, might wish that the fires of Smith- field should be rekindled, if for no other purpose than to consume the trumpery im- plements, the vain toys and "idle gauds" of Gallic philosophy. We could well spare the rocking chair of our Epicurus, and could cheerfully behold calcined every bone of his Mammoth. Birmingham air pumps might seorch to cinder; and, as an old and dingy tobacco pipe is purified by being burned, perhaps if the dissenting Doctor himself were roasted a little, his Socinianism and Phlogiston would appear the brighter. All his experiments and all his theories are fit for nothing but to amuse a superficial caper- ing Frenchman, be a maygame to democrats, and Bartholomew fair drollery to a revolu- tionary rabble. It is wonderful how this juggler is permitted to play his tricks here. In the opinion of Europe, a few democratic knaves, fools and philosophers excepted, his reputation clerical, literary and political has long since declined into "the limbo of van- ity." His suffocating periods, his baffled irreligion, his political ignorance and the intolerable prolixity, dullness and number of his leaden books have long since become the scorn of England. "He writes on all things but on nothing well." By the sacred voice of a principled and satirical bard, he has been adjured to flee, like some evil spirit, and hide himself in the red sea of revolution. He obeyed. But, unfortunately took a wrong direction. He forsook the road to Paris and her ruffians, and came to North America.
Quale Portentum neque militaris Daunia in latia alit esculeus Nec Julez tellus generat Itonum Arida nutrix.
He came, a philosophical, political mon- ster, not terrible for the energy or sublimity of his powers, nor "exalted" like the poet's "Satan," but "Squat like a toad;" odious for crooked cunning and conventicle cant, for left handed politics and presump- tuous interference. How he has demeaned himself here, we have learned from diurnal history. As has been before observed, he has been ejected by England, and now even his city of refuge, even Northumberland naufestates him. We fervently wish that he and his philosophy would cross the Atlantic. The old lumber is burdensome; and it may still be thrust away in some of the dissenters garrets in England. Though we very well know that Church and State, that Literature and true Philosophy would grieve at the re- landing of such poor stuff as the Doctor and his doctrines. Yet there are doors which would fly open to receive them. His friend WAKEFIELD will shake hands with him in gaol, and BEDDOES will greet him, with no "fashionable airs," THEWALL will waste his praise over Fleet ditch, and the Duke of BEDFORD amuse him with the fatted calves of Wooburn. The growling disciples of John Knox will pray for him extemporane- ously in many a meeting house , and the whine of dissent be attuned to the hymning praise of a renegado priest, a turbulent sub- ject, and a mouse killing, frog killing poli- tical philosopher!

Caleb and Thornton, the agreeable authors of the Connoisseur , devote one paper to a project for the convention of a Female Parliament . What did not succeed in Great Britain is about to be actually realized in America, and ladies are now engaged in a course of political studies behind the bar of the House of Representatives. We shall soon hear of Mistress Speaker , and the Honourable Lady from such a place—and the Federalist Belles will have a clear majority over the Democrat old maids , and awkward things from the country. A bill will be brought in for the exclusion of gentlemen , and some oratorical beauty will make a motion to impeach any one who attempts to enter the door.
The British minister has lately been seen shaking hands with gentlemen without the bar of the house, and was actually caught fishing one day last week during a political debate. The Aurora has accordingly denounced him in the Bulletin , and Ben Natti is preparing a prolix speech against the envoy with a view to have him impeached .
The dreams of the democrats are broken by notices made by one Natti , and their teeth gnawed at the view of Jonathan Robbins pendant and a rope cordant. The ghost of a John Terries every rogue, and the dying speech of a murderer is hawed about daily in the political hall. The shade of Jonathan is indeed a "perturbed spirit," and by the last advices from the coast of democracy we learn that
"To night the spectre walks again"
The circumstance of Mr. Lisson hearkening to the debates in our house of convocation, and even addressing some of the members, and behaving courteously, good humoredly, and like a gentleman has produced animadversion in the Aurora . The democrats have lately agreed in full council, that no man ought to seek for any information, or to make a bow, or smile, or nod familiarly to an acquaintance; for in the first place all information is of a lofty and aristocratic character, and in the second, "nods and becks and wreathed smiles" are expressive of civility and benevolence and good humor, all which are removable by impeachment and ought to be turned out of employment, especially at the present time under the horrible inflation, cruelty, tyranny, &c. of administration.
From the Virginia Federalist.
The state of the public finances has been selected of late as a proper subject of democratic clamor, and copiously commented on, with a view to excite odium against the general government. The deficit of revenue, which the official documents transmitted to Congress estimated at something upwards of four millions of dollars, has been dexterously augmented to five, and the magnitude of this sum, is represented as the foundation of a future system of taxation which is to terminate in the ruin and oppression of the people. It is believed, however, that our countrymen have no disposition to the political Hypo , and will chuse to feel the burthen ere they complain of its weight, but even then they will recollect the cause of its imposition, and submit to it with pleasure, as the price of exemption from a foreign yoke.
Driven by the unjustifiable depredations and menaces of the French Republic into extraordinary exertions and preparations for self-defence, the ordinary resources of the union are inadequate to meet the essential expenditures of the crisis, and the deficit above mentioned, resulting from the adoption of measures not less who else than necessary, is brought forward as a charge of high criminality against the government. Are we willing to eliminate our sovereign rights as a nation at a price, and to put our future in competition with our liberty? Is our independence already so little prized, that we measure its value by dollars and cents? To what else does all this criminalization of the general government tend?
In reflecting on the situation and circumstances of our country, although it would be unwise to remain unprepared against external attacks, yet it must appear obvious that the danger most to be dreaded—the evil most to be deprecated, is DISUNION ; and although the accuracy of this sentiment, if there is finery in their own declarations, is admitted by our patriotic republicans themselves, yet are they incessantly labouring the subversion of the government, which constitutes our only protection against the evil. The plan of their operations to this end, though sought to be concealed, is nevertheless known, and has at length become notorious from the uniform tenor of their labours. The means for its accomplishment, consist,
In incessant efforts to undermine the government, by robbing it of the popular confidence.
In unremitted endeavours to create a belief, that the "people have interests distinct and separate from those whom they themselves have appointed to manage their common concerns."
In reviving the policy and questioning the purity of almost every measure of defence, which the government, even after the most serious and solemn deliberations, has thought prudent and advisable.
In the exercise of an unwise, injudicious and, in some respects, unconstitutional censure of those measures, by means of the state legislatures, acting in their corporate capacities; who thereby evinced a will to controul, as far as their influence extended, the constitutional results of a system created by the people in their highest sovereign capacity, with chartered powers to provide for the general welfare and defence by the very means thus prohibited.
In acrimonious publications, addressed to the people, containing charges tantamount to treason, in the constituted authorities of the United States, who are represented as harbouring a systematic design to overturn their liberty, and establish a monarchy on its ruins. And finally,
In employing every species of abuse, misrepresentation and slander, as well against the government as individuals, which may serve to arouse the popular fury, and fit our citizens for civil commotions and a dissociation of the flat s.
When it is contended by the well wishers and supporters of the government, that these proceedings tend to disunion —that they aim a deadly blow at our happiness, which needs but the direction of the popular arm, in order to become fatal—the grand design against the union is vainly sought to be concealed, under a hypocritical clamor for the rights of the people. Contending too for an appellation dear to every lover of his country—one by which every upright American would wish to be designated—they claim the exclusive reputation of republicans, and dare to denominate themselves federalists . Thus availing themselves of terms, let us enquire into the propriety of their application.
Is it federal to seek to rob the government, from which the term itself derives an appropriate meaning, of the confidence of the people by which alone it can exist?
Is it federal to stigmatize the administration chosen by the people, and owing its very being to their free and unbiaised suffrages, with being actuated by designs as unworthy and criminal , as the authors of such calumnies, are vile and worthless ?
Is it federal to aim at rendering the people at large discontented, by the circulation of sentiments calculated to impress a belief, that the general interests of the people are variant and distinct from those of their fellow citizens, whom they have appointed to public stations?
Is it federalism, or the well taught lessons of party, which indiscriminately condemns every defensive measure the government has chosen to adopt? Does federalism possess the power of thus making men think eternally alike ?
Is it federal to usurp a right to controul (as far as the state legislature could by censure controul) the prosecution of measures confidentially within the power of Congress, on the mere grounds of policy, and without reference to their constitutionality?
Is it federal, or can it rationally be considered as the intention of the people when they ratified and accepted the federal constitution, that the State legislatures, formed for the local purposes of the particular parts, should possess inquisitorial powers, over a body organized for the good of the whole, and making the crude suggestions of their own judgments or the dictates of their own prejudices, the standard both of moral and political rectitude, denounce the congress of the United States to their countrymen, as enemies to their liberty, and conspirators against their peace?
Let our fellow citizens seriously consider these things, and their good sense and love of country will furnish a ready answer. They will discover the end to which all this criminalization of the government and its supporters unerringly points. They will see it, leading to DISUNION, ANARCHY, CIVIL WAR, and BLOODSHED ; to a situation which sickens reflection, and causes humanity to recoil with horror; to a situation, the evils of which are indefinable; and will be embittered by a consciousness of the blessings we have forfeited and lost.
Let it however be but realized, and the views of the party which at present sways the councils of the State, will be complete; the fashion against the federal government will then have accomplished the object of its labors.
"SEPARATION FROM THE UNION" will be blazoned in letters of blood on the unfurled banners of ANARCHY ; and the boasted liberty of America will exist no longer but in name. A road to pre-eminence in the ancient dominion of Virginia, will then be opened to the Monticello, Republico, Democratico Philosopho , which while the people are wise, will be closed forever, against his march to the chief magistracy of United America .

Tuesday, March 11.
Mr. Leib presented a petition of Predrick Hockley and others, weavers, of the city of Philadelphia, stating that there are a sufficient number of Manufacturers in their line, to supply the people of the United States; and praying such an increase of duties as will encourage their occupation. Referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
Mr. S. Smith presented a petition of the Library Company , in the city of Baltimore, praying an exemption of duties on all books, maps and charts imported for the use of any library company or literary society; which petition, with one heretofore presented of a similar nature, from the New-York Library Society , were referred to the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.

Rear admiral Mark Robinson , who lately died at Bath, was a gentleman of the most distinguished merit in his profession. He was born on St. Mark's day, 1722, O. S. and at the age of fourteen entered into the service of his country. The exertions and consequent distinctions of this gallant veteran merit a brief detail. He was actively engaged in most of the combats under the command of Sir Peter Warren , and Lord Hawke . As commander of the Falcon , his conduct and bravery were eminent and conspicuous at the reduction of Guadaloupe , where his ship sunk under him. He was afterwards appointed to the command of the Fowey on the coast of America, where he had the satisfaction of preserving Charleston from the effects of an alarming conflagration a service for which the merchants of South Carolina expressed their gratitude by a public vote of thanks, dated January 14, 1771, and a very large piece of plate, bearing a suitable inscription. Under Lord Kepple he commanded the Weymouth ; whence he was transferred to the Shrewsbury , in which ship he led the British fleet five times into action. In the loss of these engagements off the Capes of Virginia, he was disabled by a severe wound in the hip, and the loss of a leg.

From the New York Gazette. The following letter of thanks to Lord St. Vincent, with his answer, has not been published in America. If you can spare room for them in your esteemed Gazette, you will oblige a friend of the brave, and an acquaintance of that gallant admiral. Wall street, 6th March.
MY LORD, I have the honor, by desire, and in the name of, the merchants of London, and the merchants and manufacturers of Leeds, Halifax, Exeter, Birmingham, and Norwich, trading to the southern parts of Europe (unanimously determined and directed by their respective committees) to express the warm interest they take in the speedy and perfect re-establishment of your lordship's health, and their earnest with and prayer for the long preservation of a life of such importance to the British empire.
In common with their fellow subjects, they have felt the advantage which this country has derived from the gallantry displayed by your lordship on various occasions; and as merchants, an additional degree of obligation, for the zealous attention which your lordship has shewn, on every occasion, to the support and protection of its trade and commerce, and for which they request your lordship to accept their grateful thanks. It affords me, my lord, the most heartfelt satisfaction, to be charged with communicating to your lordship, sentiments replete with veneration, applause and gratitude; sentiments so justly merited by your lordship, and so cordially felt by the highly respectable body of the merchants and manufacturers, whom, in their mercantile profession, I have had the honor, for several years past, to represent.
Permit me also to avail myself of this opportunity of acknowledging the obligations for which I am personally indebted to your lordship, and to subscribe myself with esteem and respect, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient and most humble servant, (Signed) JOHN TURNBULL. Admiral the Earl of St. Vincent. London, Nov. 6th, 1799.
To which his Lordship returned the following reply:
SIR, I am highly honored by and gratified by the approbation of the merchants of London, and the manufacturers of Leeds, Halifax, Exeter, Birmingham, and Norwich, trading to the southern parts of Europe, and by the warm interest they take in the recovery of my health, conveyed in your obliging letter of yesterday. The protection of the trade and commerce of the country, I have ever considered a principal object of my public duty, and felt fully recompensed, when any efforts in the discharge of it were attended with success; for on the prosperity of our commercial navigation, the summit which Great Britain has reached, can only be maintained. I avail myself of this occasion, to acknowledge the advantage I have derived from your instructive correspondence; and I have the honor to be, with great regard and esteem, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) ST. VINCENT. Rochester, Nov. 7, 1799. To John Turnbull, Esq. Chairman of the Merchants trading to the Southern parts of Europe.

Prepared (only) by S. SOLOMON, M. D. F. R. S. Of the University and College of Physicians, and Author of "The Guide to Health," &c.
THE CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD, Is an immediate restorative and corroborant, as most powerful remedy in female obstructions and suppressions, and in cases of retention at maturity; also in weakness, morbid discharges, and irregu- larities about the turn of life.
South of either sex who have practiced a secret and destructive vice, and thereby relaxed, weaken- ed and debilitated the whole nervous system, will find the Cordial Balm of Gilead the most power- ful, certain and effectual restorative.
This medicine possesses wonderful efficacy in all nervous disorders, fits, head aches, weakness, hea- viness and lowliness of spirits, dimness of sight, con- fused thoughts and wanderings of the mind, va- pours and melancholy, and all kinds of hysterical complaints, gradually go off by the use of this fa- vourite Cordial. In sickness of the stomach, in flatulencies and obstructions, it is a safe, powerful and effectual remedy. The first symptoms of its good effects are serenity and cheerfulness.
Price three dollars each bottle.
ALSO, A New Edition, being the 42d, of that in- teresting Work, entitled
A GUIDE TO HEALTH, Embellished with the Author's Portrait. Which fully explains, in a concise, plain man- ner, the most simple methods of treatment, with proper efficacious remedies for the following Dis- eases, viz.
Asthmas, loss of appetite, bilious complaints, consumption, female diseases, fits, flatulence or wind, hypochondriac or melancholy complaints, indigestion, juvenile indications, lowliness of spi- rits, nervous diseases, rheumatism, ruptures, scur- vy, &c. &c.
To which is added, AN ESSAY On the Venereal Disease, Gleet, and Semi- nal Weakness;—and an ADDRESS To Parents, Tutors and Guardians of Youth, by S. SOLOMON, M. D. F. R. 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 epidemic consequences of a secret and destructive vice, to obtain a remedy against which, the Doc- tor has devoted a principal part of his life. No proprietors of Boarding Schools or Academies should be without it—(Price one Dollar.)

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A SOVEREIGN REMEDY For Colds, Quinine Coughs, Catarrhs, Asth- mas, Sore-throats, and approaching Con- sumptions.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above com- plaints; that 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 balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symp- toms; 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 SIN- GLE 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 dilodges and evacuates the rough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strength- ens the weakened vessels of the lungs, dissolves the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus stri- king at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently con- quered, 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 afflicted 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.

Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chop- ped and sore lips, and every bleumish and incon- venience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. spee- dily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and deli- cate 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 foul- ness, 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.

Particularly pimples, blotches, tetter, ring- worms, tan, freckles, sun burns, fin- gles, redness of the nose, neck or arms, and prickly heat, Are effectually cured by the application of The genuine Vegetable Lotion.
This excellent remedy has been administered by the inventor, for several years while in England, with the greatest success. By the simple applica- tion of this fluid for a short time, it will remove the most rancorous and alarming scurvy in the face, which has foiled every other remedy. It possesses all the good qualities of the most cele- brated cosmetics, without any of their doubtful effects. He therefore recommends it with confi- dence to every person so afflicted, as an efficacious and certain cure.

For Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints,
Gout in the Stomach, Melancholy, Seminal Weakness, loss of Appetite, Bilious Disor- ders, Inward Weaknesses, Indigestion, Ob- stinate Gleet, Juvenile Indications and Pre- mature Old Age, and every other symptom of extreme debility, which are the conse- quences of a Disipated Life—excels of Plea- sure or Grief—Heat or change of Climate— Immoderate use of Tea, Spirituous Liquors, or any Intemperance—Bad Lyings-in—Di- seases incident to Young Girls and Women at a certain period of life—
The Cordial Restorative Balsam
Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and permanent and permanent cure of the above disor- ders, having had 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 ner- vine, not only to the weak Romach, but to the whole nervous system! corrects a vitiated appe- tite and digestion in the first passages, and affix- es wonderfully in recovering the tone of the uri- nary and genital organs:—Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate feminal gleet in men, and corresponding weakness in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, surely and ho- nourably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the un- wary.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours are af- flicted with weakness and infirmities; in which cases it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weaken- ed organs, and the whole constitution.
Those, who in advanced life, feel the conse- quences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this fluid them- selves restored to health and strength, and all the melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
For whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudence or inatten- tion in the earliest part of life, or in sinking un- der the advance of years, a few doses of this medicine will afford immediate assurance of re- turning 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 af- ford surely great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the au- tumn of declining years, and calmly and se- verely protract the close of life beyond its nar- row span, this Restorative is capable of effect- ing that grand desideratum.
Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influ- ence of this Restorative.
Old coughs soon relieved and speedily cured.
Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will long soon meet the happiest change; the chill watery fluid become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy.
It will no doubt be acceptable to the reader, to see accounts of some of the remarkable cures and cures which have been performed by this truly invaluable medicine, in the disorders for which it was invented; he has therefore select- ed a few of such cures as have come within his own immediate knowledge, which are publish- ed and may be had (gratis) at any of the places where the medicine is sold.
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. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia. February 16. eotw
