Extract of a letter from the gallant Commo-dore Truxton, to his friend in this city, dated on board the Constellation, Bas-se-terre Roads, Jan. 22, 1800.
"I have not time to say much at pre-sent, having arrived only two days ago, and have not yet been on shore. A 44 gun ship, and a corvette of 28 guns are at Guadalupe. I shall give them a fair challenge to come out in a day or two, and am hurrying to put all things in readiness for that purpose."
The Richmond of this port, from Batavia, homeward bound, has been captured by a French pirate after a severe action. In which the supercargo was killed, and the mate wounded. The Richmond has been since recaptured and carried into Martinico by a British frigate.
It is with pleasure we announce to the Commercial part of the community, that business at Hamburg is reviving—ving—That for some time previous to the 5th Dec. there had been no failures of consequence. There is, therefore, a well grounded hope that the mercantile distresses of that city are subsiding. The Charlotte, Greenfield, is the channel through which this information is received —by which arrival we received papers to the 3d Dec. but were unable to obtain transla-tions for this day's Gazette.

MR. FENNO, In your Paper of yesterday I find Mr. Christie, has thought proper to deny the facts stated in a Certificate given by myself at Elton, in 1798.—The public will please to suspend their judgment for a few days, and I pledge myself to prove the truth of the fame, to the satisfaction of every person, whatever may be his politics.
WM. DAWSON, 3d.
Feb. 15.
MR. FENNO, A writer in a New-York paper, who tells us he has written a book by way of promoting His fame, complains with very becoming modesty of our humble dependence on European authors, which he says is at-tended with this serious evil, "If they have fallen into error on any subject we must take it as they give it"—as if this cause of com-plaint would not apply to his own as well as to any other work, for I cannot see what Europe has to do with the question, to bring this home to the Egotist I will recommend him to one of his own absurdities respecting a dark day in May 1780, and to read Pro-fessor Williams, of the University of Cam-bridge, whose philosophic researches on this subject stand unrivalled; they have proved beyond all doubt, that the fire of the woods, which, for more than six weeks, pervaded all the whole frontier of New England, and the adjacent borders of Canada, for between 3 and 4 hundred miles, was the sole cause of the Phenomenon, unusual only for its ex-tent and duration, for the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of these forests are, in every dry season, subject to view what for this reason is to them no cause of alarm.
During this darkness, which had been since the clearing of the adjacent woods, un-usual at Haverhill, in Massachusetts, several gentlemen of great respectability on observ-ing both with the naked eye, a large quanti-ty of black and ash coloured particles which were continually falling to the earth, took this method to examine their substance, they ex-posed tubs of water, and from the surface they collected in a very short time sufficient quan-tities of the object of their enquiries, and with the naked eye only, were enabled to determine from the size and shape of a great portion of the particles, that they were the ashes or remains of burnt oak, chestnut, maple and fir leaves.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, FEB. 15.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims made report on the petition of Holme Smith, that the prayer thereof ought not to be granted—which was concurred in by the house.
Mr. Hanna presented a petition of a num-ber of the inhabitants of the N. W. Terri-tory, praying a confirmation of their titles to certain lands purchased from Judge Symmes.—Referred to the committee ap-pointed on the subject of public lands.
Mr. A. Foster called up for consideration the resolution which he laid on the table, for appointing a committee to enquire whether any alterations ought to be made in the compensation allowed to the officers of the two Houses of Congress—which was agreed to and three members appointed.
Mr. Smith, from the committee of com-merce and manufactures, who were directed to enquire into the operation of the existing law, suspending the intercourse with France, made a report which was committed to the committee of the whole house on the bill further to suspend the commercial inter-course with France.
The committee state it to be their opinion, that the law had been faithfully executed by the officers of government, but that the prin-ciples of it had been evaded by individuals acting from interesting motives, and contains a variety of information in a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Chairman of the Committee propounding several ques-tions relative to the existing law, and sug-gesting measures to prevent fraud in future.
A written message was received from the President of the United States, by his secre-tary Mr. Shaw, transmitting a copy of the laws enacted for the government of the terri-tory of the United States N. W. of the ri-ver Ohio.
The message and the papers accompanying it, were referred to the Select committee to whom were referred the petitions and remon-strances of sundry inhabitants of the Miss-ippipi territory.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill further to suspend the com-mercial intercourse between the U. States and France, and the dependencies thereof, Mr. Morris in the chair.
Mr. Nicholas moved to amend the fol-lowing part of the first section, to wit, "and if any ship or vessel owned, hired, or employ-ed by any person or persons resident within the United States," shall directly or indi-rectly proceed to a French port, &c. by striking out the words in italics , and insert-ing " citizen or citizens of " thereby giving neutrals, resident within the United States, or elsewhere, the liberty of trading from the ports of the United States to those of France in neutral bottoms.
Mr. Sewall conceived this amendment would render the bill intolerable to the citizens of the United States, who would view with a jealous eye, foreigners among them, enjoying the benefits of a trade they were precluded from, and employing our own ves-sels and sailors, for that purpose.
Mr. Smith said, the original law now in existence, was intended, to embrace two ob-jects—First, the cutting off all provisions and supplies from the French West India Islands—Secondly, and the main object, pre-venting our property from entering the ports of France and being seized and confiscated, an open rupture being at that time consid-ered as unavoidable—and both these measures were also intended to coerce the French gov-ernment to an accommodation.—But these objects had failed, and their policy, instead of benefiting, had injured this country. He was therefore in favor of the amendment.
What, said Mr. S. will be the operation of this amendment? Gentlemen were mista-ken when they supposed our own vessels or our own sailors would be employed to carry on this trade.—Neutral vessels could be alone employed. If a single American sailor were found on the list of the Role d'Equipage, the whole property would be liable to condemna-tion, taken by a French Cruiser.—And they were also mistaken if they supposed any pro-tection would be required from the American Government. What would be its operation on our Commerce? Are we not now re-stricted from carrying our property, and shall we not be restricted by the bill upon the table—and how then shall we suffer by adopting the amendment? It had been said, we might carry on an intermediate trade. It was true this had, and might still be done; but the inconveniences and the risks were incalculable.
And what, exclaimed Mr. S. would be its operation on our agricultural interests? An immediate advantageous sale for our pro-duce would be offered, which now lies rot-ting in our warehouses.—Double risks and double insurances would be saved, by pur-chasers coming into our market, and giving a fair price for our commodities.
If we were in actual war, said Mr. S. would it not be good policy to permit neu-trals to purchase our produce, and thereby enable us to carry on that war; to support that navy which was raised for our protection; to enable the citizens to pay the ad-ditional burthens which our exigencies re-quire; and finally prevent the sinking of our revenue, as was the case last year. It was this policy which enabled Great Britain to meet her extraordinary demands.—It was this policy which we ought to pursue, and which he hoped the citizens of the United States would not be deprived the benefit of.
A long debate ensued upon Mr. Nichols's amendment, and the committee rose, and ob-tained leave to sit again, without taking the question upon it.
Mr. Kittera said, he perceived a disposi-tion to travel over the whole of the argu-ments which had been formerly used relative to the expediency of suspending the inter-
course with France; and as some delay must ensue thereby, and it was important for the citizens of the United States to know whe-ther the prohibition would be continued, he would move the following resolution, to wit:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to report a bill to continue in force for one month the act intitled "An act to suspend the commercial intercourse between the United States and France, and the dependencies thereof."
Ordered to lie on the table.
Adjourned till Monday.
New-York, February 14.
Yesterday arrived here, the ship Charlotte, capt. Greenfield, from Hamburg in 67 days. Left at Hamburg, on the 5th Dec. the ship Hamilton, of Baltimore, for London and the ship Mary Ann, for Philadelphia.
Dec. 10, lat. 48, 35; long. 7, 30, was boarded by the English ship Mercury, capt. Rogers, from Newfoundland, by whom he was detained three hours; during which time they assumed the command of the Char-lotte, and carried away her fore-top and fore-top-gallant mast by the cap. The Mer-cury then had two American prize brigs in company; one of which was from Baltimore, the other was conjectured to be from this port, as capt. G. was informed he had New-York, papers on board.
Dec. 27, lat. 45 18, long. 32 36, fell in with the ship Brothers, capt. John Wiley, 57 days from Jamaica bound to Glasgow—had lost her main, fore and mizen-top-masts, jib-boom, and rudder, with 8 feet water in her hold. The captain of the Brothers, re-quested that himself and crew might be taken out; and though it was then blowing a gale, 8 of her men came on board at the risk of their lives, but the boat was stove to pieces immediately after they left it, and Adams Bills of Philadelphia, carpenter of the Charlotte, fell over board and was drowned.
The next day the Charlotte's boat ran along side of the wreck, and took off the re-mainder of the crew, making 17 in all—a gale then coming on, they left the wreck with her lower deck under water. Capt. Green-field, in thus increasing his ship's company, like to have subjected himself to fatal diffi-culties; being thereby reduced to an allow-ance of provisions for three weeks previous to their arrival at this port.
Jan. 12, lat. 41 24, long. 45, spoke the brig Polly, 36 days from Bremen to Phila-delphia, with the loss of her main-yard.
Jan. 15, lat. 42 50, spoke the brig Ply-mouth, 16 days from Charleston bound to Liverpool, who took capt. Wiley, his mate and 2 boys on board.
Jan. 31, in lat. 37, 31, long. 67, spoke the ship Molly of New York, 7 days from Norfolk to Hull, on board of whom captain Greenfield got 6 of the Brother's men.
Feb. 10, in lat. 38, 47, in 20 fathoms wa-ter, spoke the brig Nancy, of Nantucket, 3 days from New York, to Ireland, which had sprung a leak, and returning.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 23.
We announce to the public, with infinite concern, the decease of our valuable fel-low-citizen, His Excellency EDWARD RUT-LEDGE, Esq. Governor and Commander in Chief of this State, who closed on Thurs-day night a life of fifty years, devoted to the cause of philanthropy and the interests of his country. Amongst the patriots of 1776, this excellent character held a distin-guished situation; and his integrity, his zeal, and his exertions in our revolutionary war, aided by uncommon talents, ranked him amongst those great political pillars, by which the fabric of American indepen-dence might be said to be supported. His eloquence, which shone forth in the senate and at the bar, was brilliant and impressive; it pleased the ear and went home to the heart; rich in ideas, and happy in his man-ner of expressing them, he was accustomed to command attention, to delight as well as to persuade his audience. The many important services rendered by this virtuous man to the United States, and particularly to this his native land, are faithfully re-corded in the page of history; they are en-graven on the hearts of his countrymen, and the recollection of them shall not die.
If we view his conduct in the walks of private life, there is an abundant scope for the most heartfelt eulogium; as the husband, the parent and the relative, he may some-times be equalled, but he will never be sur-passed. Mild and endearing in his deport-ment, with the accomplished manners of the gentleman, he diffused on all around him the rays of his own good humour and urbanity. He delighted to do good; and to relieve the widow, and to wipe away the tear of the orphan, was to his mind of sen-sibility a feat indeed. In the midst of the exercise of every virtue which makes man amiable, he is taken from us!
Caroliniens! Ye have just wept for the loss of your Washington, and ye will not be sparing of your tears over the urn of your Rutledge.
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, enlivening, invigorating, and power-ful reorative 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 intense perspiration; it is well known, and an important fact which ought to be borne on the mind of every one, that foreign teas are in-adequate 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 im-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-ty; 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 palsy is drinking too much tea; many imaginary 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, sickness, &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 phrenesis, delirium, apoplexies, 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 failing of the re-cruiting juices, multi-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 pe-nitious, it destroys the strength of the stomach the viscera, the blood, the nerves, and eventually the whole body."
Dr. Meliere says, "In bilious complaints, tea is extremely hurtful"
Dr. Forthergill. "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 few 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 indefat-igable study and experience, and by persevering-ly 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 last one person for breakfast nearly one month—canisters 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.

Public Notice
IS Hereby Given, pursuant to the act of Con-gress passed on the 11th day of February, one thousand eight hundred, entitled "An act giv-ing further time to the holders of Military War-rants, to register and locate the same" to wit:
First, That warrants granted for military ser-vices performed during the late war will be re-ceived at the Treasury until the 25th day of the present month inclusive for the purpose of being registered, agreeably to the mode prescribed in the notification from this Department on the 11th of March, 1799.

WATER-OFFICE.
Centre Square, February 5, 1800.
IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought rea-sonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the cu-riosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary ex-clusion of all visitors from the Engine house cannot appear improper.

JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, THE FOLLOWING VALUABLE MEDICINES.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if patient is not relieved—it never having failed in many thousand cases; not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle, and numbers not half a bottle.
Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE German Corn Plaister. An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
The Genuine Persian Lotion.
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellant minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly, freckles, pimples, pits after small pox, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health—yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth; never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch.
Warranted an infallible and immediate cure, at once using; being the most speedy, effectual and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public, and for the satisfaction of the timorous, the proprietor maketh oath, that this ointment does not contain a single particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women and on infants newly born.
Patent Indian Vegetable Specific.
For the cure of Venereal Complaints of every description. An extensive trial of near four years has proved the vegetable specific to be effectual in expelling the venereal virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the verge of the grave by the improper administration of mercury. Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its salutary effects.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time and with the least inconvenience possible.
HAMILTON'S
Worm destroying Lozenges,
Which have, within nine months past, relieved upwards of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS of all ages in various complaints arising from worms and from lozenges or obstructions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title to commonly complained of, as operating with a degree of violence, insufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being fitted to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
At the place of sale may be seen many remarkable cases of cures, the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home.
Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe, that the signature of Lee & Co. (who are appointed the general agents for the United States) is pasted on the outside of each, without which they cannot be genuine.
At the above place may be likewise had, GOWLAND'S LOTION.

AFFIDAVIT.
City of New-York, ss. William McCoughan resident of Gibb's alley, in the city of New-York, cooper, voluntary maketh oath that he was severely afflicted with a consumption for upwards of 18 years, that he laboured under the most inexpressible affliction with a violent cough and shortness of breath, that he could not lie down in his bed for weeks together, but was obliged to be propped up by pillows or in an arm chair, and in the day time unable to attend his business; that at length he was so reduced and wasted away, as to be scarce able to walk at all; that he had tried the skill of many respectable medical men, and has expended a very considerable sum of money, and has taken a great deal of medicines without effect. That at last he despaired of ever getting cured, till he, through recommendation, took Dr. Church's cough drops, from which he found very present relief, and by persevering in the use of them, he is now perfectly restored to health, and has had no return or symptom of his disorder since.

Copy of a Letter from capt. Henry.
Dear Sir, In the year '95, I had the misfortune to break a blood vessel, which was succeeded by a severe complaint on my lungs, cough, shortness of breath and spitting up of matter and blood, with every other disagreeable symptom of a disorder of the lungs; indeed so afflicting was this disorder, that I could not rest at night, nor could walk 200 yards in the day, without stopping to cough and rest myself a number of times. This disorder continued to increase upon me, till I was much wasted in body, and exceedingly weak. Seeing your advertisements in the public papers, early in the last summer, I commenced taking your justly celebrated Cough Drops, which I persevered in the use of, for sometime; I have now the happiness of informing you, my lungs are perfectly sound; I have no shortness of breath, or spitting up of matter or blood; my cough is a little troublesome in the morning, but no other time. I am Sir, Your's every respectfully, WILLIAM HENRY. Garden Street

New-York, July 10, 1798.
To Dr. CHURCH.
Sir, For upwards of twelve years, I have laboured under a severe cough, shortness of breath, spitting of matter from my lungs, and often clotted blood, till at length I was so reduced as to be unable to walk across my room, and owing to the violence of my cough and shortness of breath could get no rest day or night. Hearing of your excellent medicine, the Cough Drops, I procured a bottle; I took a dose as soon as I got it, from which I found instantaneous relief, and by continuing it for three days, I blest God I am restored to perfect health. As I believe, you have been the instrument in the hands of Providence, by saving my life, I must entreat you to publish this for the benefit of any who may be in any situation, as I am confident it is one of the best medicines in the world for those complaints.
I am Sir, your grateful servant,

DISEASES OF THE EYES.
Church's celebrated Eye Salve.
For several years universally acknowledged as a certain and infallible cure for inflammations, dimness, dryness, blighs, itchings, and films in the eyes, proceeding from natural weaknesses, or from accidents, such as blows, dust, lime, or any thing else being thrown into the eyes. It is admirable in natural weaknesses of sight, in deductions of rheum, and for all ailments in the eyes after the small pox, measles and fevers; it is singularly efficacious in carrying off all watery and gross humours; and in strengthening the fight—in short, there is no disease to which the eye is subject, but this salve is not a sovereign remedy; many hundreds have experienced its efficacy when in the greatest danger of losing their sight.
