The Norfolk Mail STAGE.
THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 50 miles less than on any stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.

INFORMATION
Respecting Dr. Rush's conduct and transactions during the prevalence of the malignant fever of 1793—Communicated by one of the Members of the College of Physicians.
Dr. Rush having tried the effects of mercurial purges which he acknowledged to the College of Physicians on the 26th of August...
Dr. Rush with that precipitation for which he has always been noted, instantly adopted the practice in its utmost latitude without reflecting that difference of climate and constitution made a difference in the disease.
On the 12th September he published in the Federal Gazette the following directions to the citizens:
"Dr. Rush, regretting that he is unable to comply with all the calls of his fellow-citizens indisposed with the prevailing fever, recommends to them to take his mercurial purges, which may now be had with suitable directions at most of the Apothecary's, and to lose 10 or 12 ounces of blood as soon convenient after taking the purges..."
How far the assertions contained in the address correspond with facts, let the obituary of that month determine, and the deaths in his own family.
Those acquainted with the causes and laws of contagion thought him insane.
At other times he promised a removal of the infectious effluvia, with which he asserted the whole atmosphere was loaded, as soon as a heavy rain should fall.
Immediately after one of his addresses to the citizens, the following advertisements were published by his request in all the newspapers.
"Dr. Rush's celebrated mercurial purging and sweating powers for preventing and curing the prevailing putrid fever, may be had carefully prepared, with proper directions at Betton & Harrisons, No. 10, South-Second street."
Dr. Rush's mercurial sweating purges for the Yellow Fever, may be had carefully prepared, with the doctor's directions, and sold by William Delany, Druggist and Chemist, &c.
Dr. Rush's mercurial sweating powder for the Yellow Fever, with printed directions, prepared and sold by permission, by Goldthwaite & Baldwin, Chemists and Druggists, &c.
In speaking of his exploits in a letter addressed to Dr. Rodgers, dated October 3d, after accusing most of the physicians in the city of ignorance and obstinacy, he adds, "by means of the remedies before mentioned, I think I have been the unworthy instrument in the hands of a kind providence of recovering more than 99 out of an 100 of my patients before my late indisposition from the want of bleeding and purging."
So much was the Dr. about this period possessed with the notion that he was the only man of common sense existing, that he not only refused to consult with any but his former pupils who submitted to obey his dictates, that he rudely intruded his advice upon other people's patients; he also appointed two illiterate negro men and sent them into all the alleys and bye-places in the city, with orders to bleed and give his sweating purges as he emphatically called them, to all they should find sick without regard to age, sex or constitution.
* These purges contained 10 grains of Calomel and 15 of Jalap.

From the American Daily Advertiser.
Messrs. CLAYPOLE,
A certain physician in this city, it is said in a late publication, has lost but one patient out of seventy in the prevailing fever. It will be humane at the present distressing season, for him to mention his name, and also his remedies, that less successful practitioners may adopt them.
OCT. 3d, 1797. A CITIZEN.
That those "unsuccessful practitioners" who have persevered to this time, in the horrid practice, of bleeding patients to the moment of death...
ample proof shall be adduced) will ever be deterred from continuing those murderous courses, by any thing but a presentment from the Grand Jury, as public nuisances, does not appear to me so probable as it would seem to this citizen.
As to any uncommon, or set mode of practice, unknown to others of the medical faculty, having produced this wonderful success, no such thing is pretended.
And while I render that tribute of applause to the distinguished success (which, whatever may be said, is the only clear proof of distinguished merit) let me not omit to mention, that tho' this is an instance rare, if not unparalleled, yet, a proportionate degree of success has uniformly attended the practice of those other professional gentlemen who have "been sparing of the lancet."

Friendly Advice to the People, on the present raging Disease.
BY THE REV. DR. COLAIN.
WE have passed through many sorrowful weeks, and we have reason to apprehend further attacks from the shafts that so cruelly afflict our mortal frames, and wound our souls to the quick, by the loss of our dearest friends.
Public distress demands public attention; every person is in conscience bound to furnish what information he can.
The present epidemic is, like that of '93, diversified in many forms and degrees...
In the beginning its appearances are seldom so striking as to show its real quality. Whenever these are doubtful, violent management is wrong, because more harm may be done than can be repaired by an altered method.
NEW-YORK, October 3.
The proposition for a union of the new Venetian state, with the Cisalpine republic, has been rejected, by 15,000 votes against 35,000...
By the address of Carnot, to the French on the celebration of the 10th of August...
it is observed that the government of France is assailed by efforts to restore monarchy. Indeed the late election is a proof that the opinions of the mass of the nation are unfriendly to the measures of the government; if not the constitution. But even admitting the fact, that a majority of the nation is in favor of a limited monarchy, the difficulties of restoring it, which Carnot has described, are real—they may be unsurmountable...
able—and if the present constitution can exist and preserve peace and subordination to law, good Frenchmen will submit to it, rather than risk the dangerous forms of another revolution.
ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 21.
Tuesday afternoon a court was held for the examination of John Perry, charged with being concerned in fitting out and arming a vessel within the United States, for the purpose of cruising against the subjects of a nation with whom we are at peace, &c.
The most material evidence for the prosecution was Captain Willis, whose testimony was in substance as follows:—that in the month of January last, on his homeward bound passage from Guadalupe, he spoke a new copper-bottomed schooner from Norwich in Connecticut, called the Uncas, with mules upon her deck...
Mr. Murray's testimony corroborated in stating the prevailing opinion at Guadalupe, of Perry's being understood as part owner and agent for this privateer.
After a full and candid hearing of evidence and the respective counsel employed upon the occasion, the court were of an unanimous opinion that Perry's case came under cognizance of a law of Congress passed in '94, which subjects citizens of the United States guilty of the offence for which he was indicted, to imprisonment of not more than three years, and a fine not exceeding 5000 dollars.
The court admitted Perry to bail on his giving security in the sum of 5000 dollars for his appearance at the Federal Court to be held in the district of Virginia, to which a final decision is referred.
Before the same court, Mr. Robert Hamilton, of this town, was examined on a charge not very dissimilar to the above. The only evidence adduced in this case was his own voluntary confession. Sunday morning Mr. Hamilton meeting several gentlemen on his wharf, he desired that they would step into his counting room, where he observed to them, that understanding a report was in circulation that he had been concerned in a privateer fitted out of the United States, was desirous of representing the matter in its true light, in order that they might contradict any misrepresentation which the tongue of rumour would probably originate.
EDENTON, (N. C.) Sept. 21.
Friday last arrived the schooner Little Gabriel, Leven Bozman, master, from Antigua. Capt. Bozman was on the 14th ult. in last 26, 30, long. 68, on his homeward bound passage, captured by a French armed brig called the Pandora, commanded by Citizen Garifan, from St. Domingo, mounting 12 6 pounders.
The above privateer had captured seven other prizes, 4 brigs, 2 schooners, and a sloop, among whom Capt. Bozman heard of the names of Capt. Montague, of the sloop Dependence, of Norfolk, and Capt. Wheaton, of the schooner Juno, of New-York.

IMPORTANT.
A report was current in town yesterday, but by what authority we are not authorized to say, that a vessel arrived at Boston on Sunday, from Guernsey, in a short passage, who spoke a vessel at sea, the captain of which informed him, that he was eye-witness to an engagement between the Spanish and English fleets, having laid to several hours to observe their manoeuvres, and when he parted with them the action was undecided. This day's Eastern Mail will decide as to the validity of this account. Argus.

LETTERS FROM LONDON.
August 2, '97.
From Mr. Bayard, the American commercial agent in London: "After many exertions, and much patient attendance, at Doctors Commons, and the Treasury, I have at length been able to obtain compensation from the British government, for losses sustained, by many of our fellow citizens, for the capture and detention of their vessels, in that class of cases, called cases of coasts and damages. I received the last Saturday, £34,443, 8s. 3d. net."
[The decisions made by the board, appointed under the commissioners for American claims, have, in the instance alluded to in the above letter of Mr. Bayard, and in every other, been ample and satisfactory; and in no case, has the American commercial agent been under the necessity of appealing from their judgment, a right reserved in him. This tribute is due to the magnanimity and justice of the board.]
August 11, 1797. "Unfortunately for the sufferers, the Martinique captures are not yet tried; we have waited a long time; they are expected to come on next week, as they were this. It is not believed, however, that the Admiralty, or Lords of Appeals, will decree a sentence, commensurate to the damage. Next summer, the Commissioners, we doubt not, will complain what they have so well begun; about eighty or ninety claims have already been settled, and paid for by this government."
August 11, 1797. "I wrote by the Belvidera, about 10 days since, to inform you, that the monies awarded in several cases, had been paid by the government. I have since authorized the individuals to draw on me here for their respective sums. The Board of Commissioners will not again meet until the 1st of November. So far as we have progressed, all has turned out well. God grant the termination of the business may be equally favourable."
August 12, 1797. "The question of recovering, against the underwriters on policies, where the ship has been warranted American, and has been condemned in France, together with the cargo, for not being documented, agreeably to the treaty between the two countries, has been tried in the court of King's Bench, in the case of the Commerce, warranted American ship, bound from Lisbon to London, and carried into Nantes, and there condemned on that ground. Lord Kenyon held, that every man was bound to conform to the laws and treaties of his own country; that in warranting the ship neutral, or American, he obliged himself to prove her qualified with every document necessary by their laws and treaties, to support her neutrality and that if she was condemned for any default in them, the warrant was not made out, and consequently the underwriter was exonerated. This decision is conformable to some precedents established last war by Lord Mansfield, in cases of other neutral vessels under similar circumstances, and was generally expected. But it will involve much American property insured here, and leave the owners no chance of redress, but from the French government. It is matter of great surprise here, that your citizens have exposed to many of their vessels to confiscation, by neglecting to provide them with the papers which the treaty of 1778 acknowledges to be necessary, in case of France being at war with any other power, and the very form of which that treaty prescribes."
PITTSBURGH Sept. 30.
That part of the extract of a letter, published in our last, under the Pittsburgh head, which mentions, that "the inhabitants at the Natches are in open rebellion, and have displayed the French colours," is a mistake. It is the people of Kaskaskia, which is within the government of the North Western Territory, and where the laws of the United States have been in force for several years. Particulars we have not yet heard, but have no doubt that some of Citizen Adet's spies are among them. It is to be wished that if any of them should fall into the hands of General Wilkinson, he will grace a pole with their heads instead of a French Liberty Cap.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of Charleston at Cabotia to a gentleman at Detroit, dated June 16, 1797.
"An American party to the number, it is said, of 110, have displayed the standard of the French Republic—have adopted the name of Sans Culottes, and will acknowledge no other laws than the French laws. The justices already say that they dare not set on the bench—I believe they have reason to fear."

Germantown, 6th. October
At a meeting of the guardians of the poor, held at the Almshouse, October 5th, 1797—

TO THE PUBLIC.
In a letter lately published in Mr. Fenno's paper, I came forward with the initial of my surname. This I have since had reason sincerely to regret. William Cobbett, after announcing this letter, in a manner highly illiterate and ungentlemanly, has thought fit, not only to republish, but most strikingly to misrepresent it.
In the fifth sentence, in the third line, after the words he has , Mr. Cobbett has inserted the word long , which is not in the original letter; from a review of which, it will appear evident, that this word must have been an intentional addition. To place this in a clear light, and to put it beyond all doubt, it is only necessary to observe, that he has printed the words he has long , (differently from the original) in italics; and at the bottom, has added a comment on the very word by himself interpolated; which comment is wholly inapplicable to any part of the letter, as it appeared in Mr. Fenno's paper.
Twisting as this circumstance may appear, it is evident that it must be considered as a matter of no small importance. If a printer is at liberty thus to alter and misrepresent a piece, the contents of which he may happen to dislike; if, to suit his own purposes, he can thus shamefully and maliciously mutilate the publications he may meet with; and all this under the sanction of the liberty of the press;—beware, fellow citizens, how you commit your communications to the public.
And what must be your opinion of the honor and integrity of the man, who, if he has nothing else to lay hold of, stoops to such mean and despicable shifts, in order to give vent to a malignant disposition. I therefore call on Mr. Cobbett, if he is possessed of a particle of candor, publicly to retract this misrepresentation. I well know that in coming forward in the public papers, I lay myself open, not only to his , but to every other person's animadversions; and I cheerfully leave him at liberty, to comment on, to republish, and to abuse, any and every thing I may write in future; but in justice to the public, to him and to myself, I entreat him to do it without perversion and misrepresentation.

Extract of a letter from a citizen of the United States, dated at Cape Francois, the 21st September, 1797.
"I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that since the departure of Santhonax, 12 American vessels have been liberated. But it must be understood that these vessels were either going to or coming from French ports. They as usual condemn our vessels bound to British ports, or vessels bound to French ports when they are captured with their registers endorsed (by British naval officers) before they can reach these ports; and in no instance do they permit our vessels to depart with their outward cargoes. The administration generally takes the provisions on a credit."

The Citizens of Philadelphia at present residing at Germantown, Frankford, and other places in the vicinity of the City—are earnestly called upon not to neglect giving in their suffrages at the approaching election. That man is unworthy of the blessings of freedom, who possessing the right of co-operating in the appointment of public officers, not only neglects to make it a duty, but tamely looks on to behold every possession that is of importance to him, put in jeopardy by the intrigues and machinations of wicked caballers.
It will be somewhat troublesome; but nothing in competition with the important interests at stake on the issue. As to danger, on account of the Fever, surely no man need be under apprehensions on that score: As it is only necessary to go to the State-House, and deposit the vote, which may be done in a few minutes, without involving a necessity for the least exposure to infection. Ask yourselves, citizens, upon a question, whether you will choose good men to transact your important public concerns, or have bad men forced upon you, if the case be not worth your care.

The Editor, pro tempore , of this paper, having, in the ordinary course of his profession, experienced a most extraordinary and novel assault, in a persecution commenced against opinion , by one who thought proper to construe to his own prejudice certain paragraphs which appeared at different times in this Gazette, thinks it proper to declare to the public, that altho' he is determined to hold no measure with an open enemy, yet, as his views have ever been directed to the propagation of such truths as may be useful to us in our political or social state, he offers himself as the impartial organ through which the sentiments of the opposite parties may be communicated to the public. As a thorough knowledge of the nature and extent of the present malady, is of the highest importance to the welfare and happiness of this country, he invites the communications of those professional and literary gentlemen, whose experience and knowledge may throw light on this interesting subject. On a point of such general discussion, and on which he, like many others, can say but too much from fatal experience, it is to be expected that every one will have formed some opinion—yet, as that opinion may be founded on partial facts, or partial representations, he is willing to renounce his own in favor of those ev. s. of his persecutor, when the latter shall have acquired the sanction of experience and general concurrence. But as a question of a much higher nature, than the good or ill will of a weak, petulant individual, is implicated in the proceedings instituted against the editor, he feels himself bound in duty and honor, as a member of this free community, to adhere to his wonted line of conduct, and to give to the world the sentiments of his correspondents, without flinching for the language in which they are to be clothed. He ever has been and will be careful not to touch persons , and as for opinions he cannot but think that, maugre all that Sangrado can say or do, they must and will shift for themselves.
The Jacobin faction, curious to relate, are about attempting something new and before unheard of. A new political denomination is to be instituted; and to back the so-called republicans in their noxious schemes, we are to have a publican exalted into the Grand Council of the Commonwealth.

 THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved: but, not as Slough insinuates to the public without just cause, as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 21 st December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer, may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can act at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of a Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place.  Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort of this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert.  The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established.  For the further accommodation of the public a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Harrisburg in Northumberland county, every Thursday and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on a M

T O B E S O L D, And possession given immediately, A LARGE two story brick House, handsomely situated in Princeton. There are four rooms and a large entry on each floor, and five rooms in the garret, a range of back buildings 51 feet in length, and a piazza of 57 feet. There is a pump in the yard, an excellent kitchen garden, at the farther end of which are a carriage house and two stables, one of which is new, 44 feet long, with stalls in the two stables for 27 horses. The healthiness and pleasantness of its situation, and the number of genteel and agreeable families in and near the town, render it a desirable retreat for a gentleman from the city. The commodiousness of the house, its central position, and the largeness of the stables, make it every way suitable for a tavern, for which it has always been considered as a capital stand.

  From the Otsego Herald.  CAUTION. WHEREAS a combination of men in this county have undertaken to enrich themselves, by fabricating titles to sundry valuable tracts of land, the property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which tracts of land large sums of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers. It is therefore just that public information should be given, to the end, that the injured may seek redress, while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Truman Harrison, Joseph Witcomb, said now to reside in the county of Saratoga; Thomas Kelly and several others who go under fictitious names. It is supposed that the lands offered for sale on those fabricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have actual knowledge of are as follows: Lots No. 11 and 12, Otsego patent thousand acres each, the actual property of William Duller, now of London; lots No. 58 and 6 
same patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averell and others, of this State. There is some ground to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.—The Printers will do well to give this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing those lands, as also to deprive those men in future from imposing on individuals, which their education and address have enabled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a shopkeeper of some note in this country. The following affidavits will set in a clear point of view the wickedness of those men, which while the public have perused, will induce them to excuse the interference of WM. COOPER. Otsego, July 28th, 1787. I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otsego, having been led into an error, by John Witcomb and Truman Harrison, of the same County, to sign a deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otsego patent, which was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr. Chaumont's and others; and further the said Joseph and Truman did persuade me to do this against my inclination, which was made out on the 10th day of November, 1793, or set back two years for to bring it to that time; and further the name of Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious name, there being no such person there. To this I make voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY. 19th July, 1797. On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before me, Thomas Kelly, the subscriber to the above affidavit, and made solemn oath that it contains nothing but the truth. ELIJAH PHINNEY, Justice of the Peace. On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob Kibby, a person by me well known and worthy good credit, who on his solemn oath did say, that two of the parties abovementioned, did make application to him this deponent, some time in the winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two lots of land in the Otsego patent, and
missed this deponent a share of the profits, on the sale of said lands, for his so doing ; and that the said deponent made application several times for the same purpose, which services this deponent as often refused, declaring to them that he had no right to lands, and could do no such thing ; which daring attempt against this deponent's integrity he had related among his friends several times, previous to making this affidavit.

This publication presents a concise statement of the base means practised by the Jacobins of the United States to asperse the characters of those persons who are considered as hostile to their disor- ganizing schemes. It also contains the cor- respondences between Mr. Hamilton and Messrs. Monroe, Muhlenburgh and Venable, on the sub- ject of the documents aforesaid, and a series of let- ters from James Reynolds and his wife to Mr. Ha- milton, proving beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the connection between him and Reynolds, was the result of a daring conspiracy on the part of the latter and his associates to extort money.

August 12. 38W1M Higgins' Specific FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF THE YELLOW FEVER. EVER since this disease made such ravages in this city and New-York, the author has turned his attention to its causes and cure.—The result of his enquiries has convinced him that the reason why so few persons recover from its attacks, are from its not being well understood, and the consequent wrong method taken to cure it. He is persuaded that the excessive bleedings and mercurial treatment of the Faculty is highly injurious, and that the only rational mode of treatment is by the use of proper acids. Convinced of this he offers his Specific as a certain remedy, if used according to the directions. To be had in bottles, at one dollar each, of the inventor Geo.
