LONDON, November 14.
It is generally believed that the minister has concluded his bargain with the Bank Directors for a renewal of their charter. — It is to continue for 17 years from the expiration of its present term; of which 12 years are still to run, so that the Corporation is secured in its privileges for a period of 29 years. The Bank, as a douceur for the renewal, are to lend the public three millions for 6 years without interest.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Cerberus frigate, dated Bristol, November 12.
"During our last cruise we have captured two French Merchantmen with valuable cargoes, and in company with the Arethusa, a Spanish brig, which the Arethusa has sent to Portsmouth; — since which we fell in with a Spanish convoy, consisting of five frigates, two brigs, and 85 sail of merchantmen; we engaged three of the frigates for one hour and a half, but the rest coming up we were obliged to haul off. In ten minutes we made sail, one of their convoy being close. We out-baied, took out the Spaniards and set fire to her, and sent her burning in among the fleet. Had the Arethusa been with us, I have no doubt we should have taken the greatest part of them."
We are concerned to learn, a detachment of the 7th regiment of light dragoons, consisting of lieut. Parke, the hon. cornet Villiers, and 18 privates and horses, were captured on board a transport returning from Holland, by a French privateer, and are carried into Calais.

PLYMOUTH, November 14.
The following particulars of an action fought by the Cerberus frigate, on the coast of Spain, has been this day received here from a gentleman belonging to that ship: On the 10th ult. at 3 o'clock P. M. while cruising off the coast of Spain, observed several sail to the windward, and immediately gave chase; before dark discovered them to be a large fleet of merchantmen, consisting of about 100 sail, under convoy of several ships of war. All hands were instantly beat to quarters, and the ship cleared for action, at the same time crowding all the sail to come up with the enemy; at eight o'clock came alongside one of the frigates which proved to be Spanish; an action commenced on both sides which lasted some time; but the latter being much disabled hauled off to re-fit. Two other Spanish frigates then bore down and engaged the Cerberus until ten o'clock; but being powerful ships the latter was in her turn obliged to haul off in order to re-fit. The Dons however did not feel disposed to renew the contest, and proceeded after the fleet. The Cerberus being refitted again, pursued the enemy, and captured one of the merchantmen, a brig; but finding her of small value, took out the crew and burnt her. The people taken in her report, that the Spanish squadron consisted of the following ships, viz. — Ceres, Nympha, Diana and Meridas, 40 guns each; Emerald, 36; Artoc, 22; Polong, 18 guns.
The A e hufa frigate of 38 guns, Captain Woolsey, parted company with the Cerberus, with a prize in company, for England, on the preceding day. The two Spanish frigates last engaged were much disabled, and it is supposed that had a couple more of British frigates been so fortunate as to have been in company, the greater part if not the whole of the Spanish frigates would have been captured. The Cerberus received very little damage, and had not a single man either killed or wounded.
Extract of a letter from an Officer in the 11th regiment of light dragoons, dated from Ramsgate, Oct. 28.
"We have just landed at this place from the Helder, which we left on Friday. Although we have been in all the engagements, we have returned stronger than most other regiments."
"This corps landed eight troops at the Helder, 500 strong; and although we were in the engagements of the 2d, 6th, and 9th, we lost only 50 men. No officers were either killed or wounded. The French cavalry were very inferior to the Dutch, and were unable to make any resistance. We were frequently engaged with the French hussars, but always found them very inferior in discipline. They wore helmets the skull of which was brass, and had chains hanging down their backs and shoulders to protect them; notwithstanding which our men, owing to the use of the sword, had much the superiority; and on October 2, in which engagement the French account for only 50 men killed, our corps alone killed upwards of 200 of their hussars, exclusive of the troops of the line, which on that day were immense."
"A horse on board one of the ships arrived here, belonging to a French General, who was pursued and killed by one of the men in this corps. The man says, when he cut the General Officer down, he fell upon his back, and in that situation attempted to kill him, which obliged him to destroy him. His cloak was so much laced and decorated, that it was worth ten pounds."
"The last engagement, wherein Prince William of Cloucester was concerned, was
the most severe, as the French were ten to one. The Prince with about 11 or 1200 men beat back 10,000, and even after they were reinforced with 8,000 men, the Prince, with only one regiment, (I think the 35th) made good his retreat, though with loss."
BERLIN, Oct. 23.
The regiments of cavalry which were on their march for some time past have been ordered to return to their garrisons. The Count de Fenkenstein, who was sent to Vienna as counsellor of legation, has arrived there. They are going to form in that capital an economical military establishment, who are to be charged with the clothing of the Russians employed in the service of the coalition. It is clear that Sweden will not join the coalition.
November 6.
Letters from Constantinople of the 25th of September, state, Sir Sidney Smith was in the Isle of Cyprus. The Grand Vizier had been for six weeks at Dimae, and exercising that severity which he thought necessary.
November 7.
Two officers of the marine have, during these few days past, been called by the minister of marine from Brest to Paris. Being stopped on the road by the Chouans, one of them, the captain of a frigate, was shot within an hour; the other a lieutenant of a ship, received no other bad usage than that of being robbed of all he had. — Dreadful War! One would be tempted to suppose that experience afforded no lessons to the French.
November 8.
Brune is expected to arrive almost immediately at Paris.
They write from Wesel, that the Prussian troops commanded by general Schlader, finding themselves so much confined in their cantonments between Wesel, Rees, and Emmerick, have extended themselves along a great part of the line of demarcation.
The fete given yesterday by the representatives of the people to Buonaparte and Moreau, was very brilliant. The number of covers was about 750.
The President of the council of Elders was at the head of the table; in the middle on the right the President of the Directory; on the left, general Moreau, then the President of the Council of Five Hundred, and then general Buonaparte.
The following are the toasts, which were drunk:
 The President of the council of Elders — "The French Republic."  The President of the Council of Five Hundred — "The armies by sea and land."  The President of the Directory — "Peace."  Buonaparte — "The union of all Frenchmen."  Moreau — "All the faithful allies of the Republic."  The Spanish admiral Massaredo — "The liberty of the seas."  Kosciusko was also present at the banquet which began at six o'clock; great order prevailed during it. At the lower end of the table where the great altar formerly stood, was to be read in the midst of trophies, "Be united and you will be victorious." 
STRASBURG, November 6.
After the evacuation of Mannheim by the troops of the Republic, the Austrians advanced towards Mentz, which they threatened with a blockade. The necessity of provisioning the place, rendered it necessary for the French generals to raise a contribution in wine in the Rhinagaw, an enemy's country, situated on the right side of the Rhine. At first they took that which belonged to the nobles and to the chapters; but the country having been exhausted by several years war, it became necessary to take the property of the people to make up the quantity. In this state of things our armies triumphed, and the enemy retired, and Generals Mareseaut and Darnadat, who were, like all true republicans, disposed to clemency, dispensed with that part of the requisition which fell the heaviest on the people. Some days after a deputation of the people waited on general Darnadat, and begged him to accept a sum of money as a proof of their gratitude: he accepted it, and desired it to be distributed among the poor of the Rhinagaw.
Letters from Zurich of the 25th, state that the difference between the magistrates and general Massena are at an end. The French army is about to be clothed and equipped. — One month of their arrears are to be paid immediately.

Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instanti tyranni, Mente quatit solida.
THE LAY PREACHER.
"Whose adorning, let it not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit."
IN the passage immediately preceding and connected with the text, St. Peter exhorts wives to be in subjection to their husbands. He then proceeds to recommend, that female ornaments consist, not merely of artful decoration and exterior polish, but of internal worth and loveliness, — of "a meek and quiet spirit." The exhortation preceding the text might naturally flow from an unpolished fisherman, who sought rather to chasten prevailing error and check the torrent of corruption, than to adapt his doctrines to the vitiated taste and manners of a courtly age.
The first part of the Saint's exhortation I shall not attempt to enforce. Subjection , amid the refinement of the times, is a term fraught with absurdity, and conveys an idea so grossly irrational and unpopular, as to be almost universally exploded. Of every species of subjection , that of wives to their husbands is deemed the most irrational and absurd. It would therefore be hardness to advocate a doctrine to which "a deaf ear is turned." Moreover, the example of the "holy women in the old time," and the illustrious instance of conjugal obedience displayed by Sara to her Abram, which are urged with energy by the Scriptural writer, would have but a sorry influence in correcting the prevailing anarchial manners of the matrimonial state. My text, indeed, favors some what of the spirit of the context and may not readily be received as sound doctrine by all, but I shall attempt, however, to show, that the preference given by St. Peter is decidedly just.
By a "meek and quiet spirit," I am disposed to understand St. Peter to mean that mildness of manners, suavity of temper and gentleness of disposition, which are decisive indications of superior worth, not that tameness, which is the mark and concomitant of weakness. The temper and demeanor, recommended by Saint Peter are the direct opposite of the brazen deportment of the modern Virago , and his doctrines are the perfect antipodes of Wolstencraftian philosophy. He neither seeks to sink the fair by superlative effeminacy into insignificance, nor labors to lure them from those limits, nor alone they shine with genuine lustre.
Saint Peter, clearly indicates, that he had been conversant with the sex, and displays an intimacy with the female heart, in the cautionary precept in the text. The fair in all ages have carefully cultivated the arts of personal decoration. Beauty adds force to the charms of nature by the refinements of dress; and deformity and ugliness seek to be transformed into objects of admiration, by the plastic hand of art, in the magic workshop of fashion. A talc for this "outward adorning" is discernible among those, upon whom the gifts of fortune are bestowed, and among those, to whom they are denied. This ornament has a fascinating influence upon man, and the attainment of this influence is a ruling passion of the female heart. The lowly shepherdess, by the taste and neatness of her pastoral habit, seeks the admiration of a captivated swain, and the courtly Cleopatra concealed the

our subject admits of a ready application to our own times. The storehouse of the milliner is not less replete with varied and monstrous devices, than Pandora's box with evils. The evanescent nature and rapid succession of fashion, display a reduction of a part of the fairest portion of creation to an ignominious level with the changing cam- tion. "Plaiting the hair, wearing of gold, and putting on of apparel," have, with a part of our species, become almost the sole business of life. The gifts of God and the advantages of fortune are vilely prostituted, in this ignoble infatuation, and there prevails a wretched and shameful neglect of the hidden man of the heart."
A word of further exhortation shall close my discourse. There are wives, who are distinguished neither by guady frippery, nor becoming decency of dress; but who, by a slovenly disregard of external appearance, outrage the feelings and insult the delicacy of their husbands. Such have usually, before marriage, flaunted in all the varieties of art, and have been noted for nice attention to outward embellishment. Instead of a crown, such an one is a curse, the proveh to her help-mate, that "favor is deceitful, and beauty vain;" she "maketh ashamed and is as rottenness in his bones."
The Lay Preacher of Pennsylvania.
The following is extracted from Anecdotes of Lord Chancellor J. in the 1st volume of Anecdotes of distinguished persons. "An ingenious collector has in his possession the patent for creating this intolent and cruel magistrate Earl of Flint. Jeffries wished to have this title, not as corresponding to his general character, but as having an estate in the county of Flint. Jeffries early distinguished himself by his brutal treatment of prisoners, and of practitioners of the law whom he disliked. At the end of the ninth collection there is this singular advertisement: "Lately published, The trial of Mr. Papillon; by which it is manifest that the then Lord Chief Justice (Jeffries) had neither learning, law nor good manners, but more impudence than ten carted whores, in abusing all those worthy citizens who voted for Mr. Papillon, calling them a parcel of factious, pragmatical, sneaking, whoring, canting, sniveling, prick-eared, crop-eared, atheistical fellows, rascals and scoundrels."

NEW-YORK, January 24. On the 6th instant the following accident happened at Peekskill, in this State:—A woman sitting near the fire side, having her youngest infant in her lap, a second playing near her, accidentally fell into a large kettle of boiling water. The mother in haste to preserve her child, threw the youngest on the bed and on lifting the other out of the kettle found it lifeless. She then sent the eldest, a boy of about nine years of age, to call the father, who was at work in the barn; the boy on his way thence ran among a number of horses who kicked out his brains. The mother in the mean time went to the bed side to take up the infant, and to her inexpressible grief found it deprived of life, having in her hurry thrown its neck across the head board of the bedstead. We have not been able to learn the name of this unfortunate family, but the truth of the above is unquestionable.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Porter, of the ship Hunter, of this port, dated Cape Francois, Dec. 28. "On my passage, I brought many vessels too; and on the 19th inst. in lat. 22, long. 67, we had an engagement for about a quarter of an hour with a privateer of 16 guns, and full of men; but the wind being very light, he outailed me, and got away. We received no injury. He hoisted nothing but a RED FLAG."
FIRE BUCKETS. The great inattention shown by a number of Citizens, by suffering their Fire Buckets to remain for days and sometimes for weeks in the streets and alleys, adjacent to where they have been used at fires, has induced the Mayor to direct the High Constable, at the expiration of four days from the time that a fire shall happen in the City, to have collected and removed to the City Hall, the Fire Buckets which he may find in the Streets after that period. The owner will thereby have an opportunity of recovering their Buckets, which perhaps, otherwise would have been lost by their neglect. A number is now at the City Hall. January 7, 1800.

CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, January 24. An engrossed bill intituled "An act to suspend in part an act intituled an act to augment the army of the United States, and for other purposes," was read a third time and passed.
Mr. D. Foster from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of John Pitchlyn, who prayed compensation for services as interpreter to the Choctaw nation of Indians. The report states, that on the investigation of the facts stated by the petitioner, it appears that the powers vested by law in the officers of the War Department, are competent to the settlement of this claim, and that the special interference of Congress is not requisite—and therefore that the petitioner should have leave to withdraw his petition.
The report was read a first and second time, and concurred in by the house.
Mr. Holmes presented a petition of the inhabitants of Lexington, praying for the establishment of a post road; which was read and referred to the committee appointed on that subject.
Mr. Hill, from the select committee to whom were referred the resolution authorizing the Secretary of State to transmit a certain number of copies of the Laws of the United States, to the Governor of the State of North Carolina, equal to the number heretofore authorized by law, which had been destroyed by fire, made a report, recommending the adoption of the said resolution; which was concurred in by the house, and the resolution passed.
A petition of George Willis, of the State of Virginia, a Soldier during the Revolutionary War, was read and referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr. Harrison presented a petition of the inhabitants of the territory of the United States, N. W. of the River Ohio, praying the grant of a tract of land for the endowment of the academy—which was read and referred to the committee appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary to be made in the law authorizing the sale of public lands.
Mr. Harrison laid the following resolution on the table, viz.
Resolved, That the bill for the reform of the Superior Court in the territory of the United States, N. W. of the River Ohio, be recommitted to the Select Committee; and that the said committee have authority to report by bill or otherwise, their opinion on the expediency of dividing the said territory into two distinct Governments. Provided, that the line of division shall commence at the mouth of the Great Miami River, and run due North until it strikes the dividing line between the United States and Canada.
On motion of Mr. C. Goodrich, the House took up the consideration of the report of the committee to whom were referred the message of the President of the United States, of the 14th instant, and a letter of Mr. Randolph—when
Mr. Smith moved for a recommittal of the report, and was followed by Mr. Nicholas, in favor of the motion—after which Mr. Bayard spoke upwards of two hours against it. When he sat down, Messrs. Gallatin and Smilie both rose, but an adjournment being called for, it was carried—ayes 51—noes 30. Adjourned till Monday.
LANCASTER. Saturday, January 18. The inclosed resolution was laid on the table of the House of Representatives on the 17th instant.
WHEREAS the interest of the Commonwealth requires, that confidence and a disposition to co-operate, should exist amongst those departments and officers of the government that are called upon by the constitution and laws of the state to act together:
And whereas, by the constitution, the management of the financial concern of the state, are in an especial manner, confined to the House of Representatives, which trust cannot be satisfactorily executed, unless the House can have, in concurrence with the other branch of the General Assembly, a general superintendence of the department of finance, and of the officers concerned therein:
And whereas, the letters of Samuel Bryan Esq. Register General of this Commonwealth addressed to the Speaker of this House, and read in the House on Tuesday last, charging members thereof with making use of affection, void even of the slightest probability, that those members could themselves have believed the said assertions, charging them with being actuated by the rancour of party spirit, with asserting malicious falsehoods on the floor of the House, with a desire to wreak their vengeance on the said Samuel Bryan for doing his duty against party friends of the said members, with audacity in the performance of their public duties, and with being void of wisdom, public spirit, veracity and dignity of conduct, evidences a disposition in the said Samuel Bryan, totally inconsistent with the respect due from the subordinate to the superior authorities in the government, and being highly scandalous, insulting and contemptuous towards the house and a direct infraction of its privileges, and of that part of the constitution of the state, which declares that for "any speech or debate in the House, the members shall not be questioned elsewhere;" it tends necessarily to destroy that confidence which the public good requires should be placed in that office by the House:
And whereas the 9th section of the "act for the settlement of the public accounts," and for other purposes therein mentioned, passed the 4th day of April, 1792, provides "that the Comptroller General and Register General, shall be respectively appointed by
the Governor, subject to removal, on the address of both Houses," as well the public interests as the necessity of punishing so flagrant an outrage on the independence of a constituent branch of the legislature, requires that the said Samuel Bryan should be dismissed from the office of Register General, therefore:
Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to draft an address to the Governor, requesting him to remove Samuel Bryan, Esq. from his present office of Register General of this Commonwealth.
This day, the above Resolution was debated, and the question being called, the following are the yeas and nays:
YEAS. Messrs. Blair, Brown, Buckley, Bull, Campbell, Cobean, Dunlop, Erwin, Fisher, Fox, Franklin, Frazer, Hall, Hannum, Hemphill, Herbach, Kepple, Keys, Kirk, McNair, McPherson, Palmer, Preston, Royer, Sample, A. Scott, J. Scott, Stewart, Taylor, Turner, Wynkoop—32.

The following Answer of the Senate of this State to the Governor's Speech, we are informed, has passed that body, and was to have been presented to the Governor on Monday.
REPORT OF A SPECIAL COMMITTEE. To Thomas McKean, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
SIR, THE sentiments you announce, and the motives which you profess in relation to the high and responsible trust committed to your administration, are such as have afforded satisfaction, and claimed the respect of the Senate of Pennsylvania.
With principles thus correct, and views thus laudable, we had a momentary hope that a correspondent conduct would have followed: and that by a manly and noble Policy, the spirit of party and Political discontent which now divides our State and threatens its Peace, would have been removed, and tranquillity again restored. Under these impressions, and with dispositions to relinquish personal considerations when the public good required, we were willing to forgive, and if possible to forget the language used by you in your answer to sundry addresses on your Election to the Chief Magistracy—You there bestow on those who opposed your Election the most opprobrious epithets, and ascribe to them the most wicked designs. We sincerely lament that the same spirit which dictates these Answers has marked your Official conduct. A great number of respectable Characters have been removed from Office against whom no other blame rests, than the exercise of their Rights as Freemen in opposition to your wishes; amongst these are a number of the most meritorious Officers and Soldiers engaged in the establishment of our Independence. They were selected by your Patriotic Predecessor as deserving their Country's Favour and Gratitude. The small Reward bestowed here, for the exercise of a Right which their lives were risked to secure, been by a single Breath destroyed.
Affecting as these considerations are, the operation which a system of this kind must have on the principles of our Republican government, has produced still greater concern. Our constitution secures the right of suffrage; and it will be to no purpose that our laws are framed to guard against undue influence in our elections, if fear on the one hand, or hope of reward on the other, be suffered to govern in the exercise of this right. If opposition to a successful candidate be considered a sufficient ground for the removal of an officer, and zeal in his favor regarded as the chief qualification in a successor, there is much reason to believe that this evil exists.
Whilst our oaths, our honor and our interests impose on us the sacred duty of co-operating in all measures tending to the interests and happiness of our constituents, they also impel us to bear this public testimony of our disapprobation of a measure which in its consequences will be destructive and ruinous to republican principles.

JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, DR. HAMILTON'S Genuine Essence and Extract of MUSTARD.
A SAFE AND EFFECTUAL REMEDY
For acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. &c.
The experience of many ages, and the testimony of the ablest medical practitioners, from an early period to the present time, agree in ascribing to mustard, every powerful and singular virtue—in every case where the necessity of stimulating remedies are indicated, while the inflammatory state of the system forbids the use of medicines of a heating quality, mustard is eminently useful, and vastly superior to any other drug.
The essence and extract of mustard contain the whole virtues of the plant concentrated in a small compass, entirely divested of that acrimony which renders its external application so inconvenient in a crude state, likewise rejecting those inert and useless parts which compose the chief of its bulk, and reserve the necessary dose so large as to be extremely nauseating to the stomach, by which means every inconvenience is obviated in these medicines.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humours; they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, removing flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispensing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will in fallibly prevent the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
Many persons have been much disappointed by purchasing medicines under the name of Essence of Mustard, which have no analogy whatever to this remedy; some of these preparations are perfectly inert, others produce the most violent and dangerous effects, and are much to be guarded against.
CASES OF CURES, Selected from a numerous list.
From Capt. Dowers, Arch-street, Philadel.
DEAR SIR,
As you think it will be useful, you are at liberty to publish my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard. I have been about four years much afflicted with the rheumatism in my shoulders, and sometimes so violently affected as to prevent me from moving my arms, and I was never free from severe pain in some part or other. I have been at much expence, and tried a good deal of medicine to no purpose; I purchased a bottle of drops, advertised under a title similar to your medicine, but experienced the most excruciating smart from its application, which obliged me to desist. At length I was advised by Dr. Biggs to try Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, from which I found immediate relief, and by the use of three boxes and two bottles, I have recovered a state of perfect health and strength—I shall take a good supply to sea, and never be without so valuable a medicine in my possession.
I am, &c. I. R. DAWES.
Mr. Henry Reese, Butcher, proprietor of No. 24. Centre Market-House, Baltimore.
SIR,
About two months ago, your valuable medicine proved of singular service to me, I was not able to move from my room for upwards of a fortnight, with a rheumatism or rheumatic gout, in my left foot and ankle; when Dr. Buchanan recommended the Essence of Mustard, as the only medicine to be depended on, and directed me where to procure it, and by using less than a quarter of a bottle and a few of the Pills, I was able to ride to market next day, and have been perfectly free from my complaint ever since.
HENRY REESE. January 4, 1800.
Mrs. Mary M'Grea, wife of Mr. George M'Grea, grocer, Bond-street, Fell's Point, was perfectly cured (by persevering in the use of Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard) of a rheumatic complaint of eleven years standing. The greatest part of last winter she was unable to dress or undress without assistance, she had the best medical advice both in Europe and America without effect.
From Mr. Charles Willett, Plaisterer, Platt-street, Baltimore.
SIR,
I send you the particulars of my cure by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, that you may make it known for the benefit of others. About two months ago I strained my right knee so violently by a fall that I was unable to walk without a crutch. I tried British oil, Opodeldoc and other medicines, but grew considerably worse, and the part became inflamed and swelled to a considerable degree, when I was recommended to the Essence of Mustard, and by using two bottles I was able to walk in less than a week, and am now as hearty as ever.
CHARLES WILLETT. Dec. 20.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE,
WHICH the inventor confidently recommends as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution
the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unwholesome or excessive use of Mercury—the disease peculiar to females at a certain period of life, bad lying in, &c.
And is proved by long experience to be unparalleled
In the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions, loss of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weaknesses, obdurate gleet, fluo albus, (or whites) impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
This medicine is perfectly different in its qualities and operation from those hot and irritating drugs so frequently proposed for similar purposes, and which only recommend themselves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly produce greater evils than those they are intended to remove.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and tending from that organ new health and vigor into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without enflaming it, braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores that nutrition which immediate evacuations have destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The restorative is absolutely above all recommendation in removing those weaknesses and infirmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful labors, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate seminal gleet, and the most distressing cases of fluo albus in females, fall particularly under the province of this restorative, speedily yielded to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humours, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, strengthening the weakened organs.
In cases of extremity where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair—a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
The grand restorative is prepared in pills as well as in a fluid form, which assists considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any climate.
Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe that the signature of LEE & Co. (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 likewise be had Hamilton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Itch Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops, which have never failed effecting a cure, Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills, Ditto Corn Plaster, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Gowland's Lotion, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills.

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

TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia,
FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
From the commencement
Of the American War, in 1774, to
the present time,
INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered.
Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries.
The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers.
Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.
Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
In all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys 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 inconveniences 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.
