PORCUPINE
To the Public.
WHEN I determined to discontinue the publication of Porcupine's Gazette, I intended to remain for the future, if not an unconcerned, at least, a silent spectator of public transactions and political events; but, the unexpected and sweeping result of a law suit, since decided against me, has induced me to abandon my lounging intention. The suit to which I allude, was an action of slander, commenced against me in the autumn of 1797, by Doctor Benjamin Rush, the noted bleeding physician of Philadelphia. It was tried on the 14th of December last, when "the upright, enlightened and impartial Republican Jury" assessed, as damages, five thousand dollars; a sum surpassing the aggregate amount of all the damages, assessed for all the years of my existence, ever sued for in these States, from their first settlement to the present day. To the five thousand dollars, must be added the costs of suit, the loss incurred by the interruption in collecting debts in Pennsylvania, and by the sacrifice of property taken in execution, and sold by the sheriff at public auction in Philadelphia, where a great number of books in sheets (among which was a part of the new edition of Porcupine's Works) were sold, or rather given away, as waste paper; so that, the total of what has been, and will be, wrested from me by Rush, will fall little short of eight thousand dollars.
To say that I do not feel this stroke, and very sensibly too, would be great affectation; but, to repine at it would be folly, and to sink under it would be cowardice. I knew an Englishman in the Royal Province of New Brunswick, who had a very valuable house, which was, I believe, at that time, nearly all his, burnt to the ground. He was out of town when the fire broke out, and happened to come just after it had exhausted itself. Every one, knowing how hard he had earned the property, expected to see him bitterly bewail its loss. He came very leisurely up to the spot, stood about five minutes, looking earnestly at the rubbish, and then, slipping off his coat, "here goes," said he, "to earn another!" and immediately went to work, raking the spikes and bits of iron out of the ashes. This noble spirited man I have the honor to call my friend, and if even this page should meet his eye, he will have the satisfaction to see, that, should it be impossible for me to follow, I, at least, remember his example.
In the future exertions of my industry, however, pecuniary emolument will be, as it always has been with me, an object of only secondary consideration. Recent incidents, amongst which I reckon the unprecedented proceedings against me at Philadelphia, have imposed on me the discharge of a duty, which I owe to my own country as well as this, and the sooner I begin the sooner I shall have done.
On Monday, the 24th instant, therefore, I shall publish the first number of a periodical work, which, as it is intended to assist the public view in the inspecting of various tenacious objects, will be called, and not, I presume, improperly, a Light; and, as the appearance of this light must be attributed wholly to the Philadelphia phlogistonist, gratitude will sanction the propriety of fixing to it the name of Rush. Thus, while the great literary luminaries of this enlightened nation emit their effulgence through vehicles which they most significantly term the Aurora, the Star, the Constellation, the Comet, or the Sun, I am content that my glimmering efforts should steal forth under the appellation of the Rush-Light.
Rush-Light.
I must, nevertheless, do myself the justice to assure the public, that, with the Rush-Light in his hand, any one (if the poor soul be not stone blind) will be able to see a good many very pretty things, which notwithstanding the splendor of the grand luminaries above-mentioned, would, without the aid of my little taper, remain hidden from him all the days of his life.
To say what will be the subject of the Rush-Light, would, at this time be impossible, and were it possible it would be useless. It may not, however, be amiss to observe, that as Rush is, in some sort the father of the work, a preference will certainly be given to him and his cause. These will, indeed, occupy a considerable portion of the three first numbers; and as the matter is already prepared for the press, these numbers will follow each other as speedily as may be. Of the succeeding numbers one will be published on the 15th, and one on the last day of every month.
The Rush-Light, notwithstanding the example of the patriot to whom it owes its name, will never lay it down as a maxim,
that cringing for a lucrative post is the best proof of a love of independence; and therefore, it asks for neither patronage nor subscribers.
Each number will contain 48 octavo pages, never less, and sometimes more, and will be enveloped in a blue wrapper, in the magazine style. The printing will be executed by Messrs. G. and R. Waite, of New-York, upon excellent paper, and the best type in America.
The price of each number will be a quarter of a dollar. To bookellers at a distance the following are the terms of sale: He who pays cash for twelve copies will be allowed three over; twenty-five copies, eight over; fifty copies, twenty over; one hundred copies, fifty over; and the like in proportion for any intermediate number; but none will, on any account, be sent out of New York, till the cash is received. To gentlemen who wish to have single numbers sent on to them by post, the following information may be useful. The postage of a single number for any distance not exceeding 50 miles, will be three cents; for any greater distance not exceeding 100 miles, 4 and one half cents; for any distance above 100 miles, six cents.

TO THE HOLDERS OF Military Land Warrants, FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOCATING.
JAMES E. SMITH, as early as the 2d of Sept. shortly after his return from viewing the Military Land, offered his services to the holders of Military Land Warrants for the purpose of classing, registering and locating them, in consequence of an arrangement made with Mr. James Johnson in July preceding, on the land, for the purpose of exploring the sections in the whole survey. This business having been carried into complete effect by Mr. Johnson, with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that country, they having taken notes descriptive of the situation, soil and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey. Mr. Johnson being now here with those notes, together with the said J. E. Smith having a complete copy of the Surveyor General's return, made to the Treasury Department of the Township surveys. Being thus informed, the subscribers, jointly, offer their services to the holders of warrants of the above description, to receive, register and locate, for which one tenth part of the land located will be required as a compensation—for locating where the registry is already made, as may be hereafter agreed on by applying to either of the subscribers. Such of the honorable the members of Congress as may now hold, or may receive warrants from their friends before the 2d of March next, by addressing a line to either of the subscribers, through the medium of the Post Office, will be waited on agreeable to their appointment.

AMONG the excellent Eulogies on the character of this illustrious man, we presume it will be highly gratifying to the people of the United States to learn, that the task has been undertaken in verse, by a Poet of such distinguished genius as Mr. Alson.  Why on this day, when erst in smiles array'd, Each cheerful mien the signs of joy display'd, Why sounds yon passing knell in accents slow, And brings each heart in unison of woe, Why drops yon veteran soldier's hoary head, His honest pride, his wonted ardor fled? These marks of woe no private loss cause, No private grief the tear from millions draws; But all a guardian friend, and fire deplore— THE GREAT THE IMMORTAL WASHINGTON'S NO MORE.  The above Poetical Eulogy will be for sale, on Saturday the 22d of this month, at the Bookstore of William Young, corner of Chestnut and Second Streets, Philadelphia.  Feb. 20. 4jt

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 reasonable 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 curiosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 25.  COMMUNICATION.  THE United States frigate Lancaster, commanded by —, has experienced a most violent insurrection in the wardroom. The commander and his aids have been at variance sometime. It is reported that the commander has taken into keeping a vixen of the name of old Nantz, to whom he daily and hourly resorts for consolation; she is a French extraction, and her cordiality has been the distraction of thought, and will be the bane of every one who has too close a connexion with her. It appears in this wardroom, a very considerable difference exists among the officers, respecting the principles, &c. of the commander; and as during a debate one of the officers was holding forth, on sobriety and good order, the commanding party called for an adjournment; one demon of this party accosted the officer who was last speaking, and told him that he was happy the meeting was broken up, being tired at hearing any thing on the subject of decency. Words ensued. Nota bene: this demon was some time ago in France and received lessons on policemen, &c. from his ex-friend the bishop of Autun; of course in the levelling democratic style of his friend, he told the other he was a damned liar; before I proceed to the conclusion, this same Demon became acquainted in Paris with X. Y. and Z. and the lady, and it is presumed with other ladies; when the lie was given, he received in exchange a true American blow from a fist never enervated by foreign influence, that broke the bridge of his nose; the nose is a delicate point, and is in general the first affected by the French disease, and is often broke without a blow.  Mr. Printer, I assure you our wardroom is in great confusion, and I am fearful our frigate will become a disgrace to the United States, unless old Nantz, by her cordiality, should destroy the commander. It is understood among the crew, that Talleyrand's friend, by the influence of Dr. Certificates, is about soliciting a patent for the art he has acquired in creating riot and confusion—Several black eyes and bloody noses happened in the wardroom of the Lancaster.  I conclude, Mr. Printer, with the transposition of an old German Bishop's Epitaph. Et est est, in drinking too much est Our commander, I hope, may die like a beast.  The following is an Extract from the Manuscript copy of Major Jackson's Oration.  "AT the approach of peace an occasion arose, in which the best faculties of his superior mind were summoned to their utmost exertion—and in which the feelings of his heart were to meet in strong collision with the dictates of his judgment, and a paramount sense of public duty.  That army, by whose unshaken fidelity and invincible fortitude, the glory and fortunes of America had been upheld in all the vicissitudes of the war, was on the eve of dispersion. Those faithful comrades in honor and misfortune were to separate for ever, under the most affliction circumstances of individual adversity. To their country they had secured the blessings of peace, and the boon of independence; and to every class of their fellow-citizens a full participation in those blessings, enhanced by the enjoyment of that property, which, in their protected avocations, they had been enabled to preserve or to acquire. To the disbanded veteran, in the decline of life, was opened the cheerful prospect of extreme penury, aggravated in many instances, by wounds and inability to labor. His honor and his arms, the instruments of his glory, were all that he possessed. Maimed, and disfigured by honorable scars, he was become a stranger in the place of his nativity—and he was no longer remembered by the companions of his early years. His long-left home was in the occupancy of another, and his future abode was only certain to be wretched. While oppressed by these sensations, and assailed by the angry passions, which their situation excited, the army were invited, by every consideration, which the most seductive persuasion could suggest, to redress their wrongs and resent the alleged ingratitude of their country.  Argument and eloquence were exhausted to effect the adoption of this fatal advice. To counteract the dangerous measure—to preserve inviolate the honor of his troops, and the safety of his country, the wisdom and firmness of the virtuous Washington were immediately interposed.  With his heart wrong by the sufferings of the army; with his mind deeply affected by the counsel, which had been offered to remedy their grievances; conscious of their merits, and no less sensible to the inability of the country to fulfill its stipulations, he convened his officers, and presenting himself as mediator between the distresses of the troops, and the public incapacity, at that time, to relieve them. He addressed himself to their judgment, their honor, and their patriotism.  His opinions, framed on the irresistible conclusions of truth, and urged with all the force of reason and sentiment, were instantly adopted, and the sublime spectacle was exhibited of an army, victorious over its enemy, victorious over itself.  As Mr. Frith seems to have a passion for protecting those truly civic virtues, robbery, piracy and murder, it seems incumbent upon him to take measures for appealing the mines of some two or three hundred, lately executed by Commodore Truxton. He ought, on his own principles, immediately to impeach that officer; for it is no palliation of his uncivic conduct, that he performed this exploit with a vast inferiority of force.  "Edward proceed; to gain the meed of fame, One height remains thy patriot grasp to claim. Applauding murder shouts thee for her friend, Let worth and valor to thy hatred bend."
BULLETIN OF HEALTH.  On the twenty-fifth of this month, as was predicted, perished with three successive shocks of Apoplexy, the foulest happy that ever polluted the earth. This monster has passed at different times under various names: sometimes an enfeebled, outrageous whig; sometimes a tory, and again a whig; now a constitutionalist, now the partizan of hereditary right, now a federalist, now an antifederalist, and last of all, a settled, black and malicious French Jacobin; but at all times, and under whatever name distinguished, uniformly a cool, premeditated, deliberate villain.  Some fellows have indeed the impudence to tell us, contrary to what we believe and know to be not only inconsistent with the peace and welfare of society, but to the most positive and infallible prediction, that he is still alive. I shall answer these infolents, by defying him or them to prove the premises.
Legislature of Pennsylvania.  IN SENATE Friday February 7th.  A message from the Governor by Mr. Trimble, the deputy secretary of the Commonwealth.  Mr. Speaker, In obedience to the directions of the Governor, I have the honor to present a message from him to the Senate, together with the documents mentioned in the message.  Mr. Trimble accordingly presented the same.  The message from the Governor was read as follows, to wit:  To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Gentlemen, The attorney-general has informed me that he has been served with a copy of a process in a suit by the Rev. Dr. John Ewing, plaintiff, against the Commonwealth, defendant, in the Supreme Court of this State; a similar copy has been left at the house of the Governor, by the sheriff of the county of Lancaster. As these proceedings have occurred while the legislature is in full session I have deemed it advisable to submit it to you, whether the attorney-general should appear for the Commonwealth, and defend the action, or except to the jurisdiction of the court.  By the 11th section of the 9th article of our constitution, it is declared that "Suits may be brought against the Commonwealth, in such manner, in such courts, and in such cases, as the Legislature may by law direct."  As no provision has yet been made by the legislature to enable the citizens to have the advantage of this part of the constitution, and as it is against the principles of natural justice for any body of men to be judges in their own cause, it appears to me highly necessary and expedient that this subject should be speedily taken into consideration, and measures adopted for affording a full, fair and impartial trial, and determination of such controversies.  A petition to both Houses, from the American Philosophical Society, for promoting useful knowledge, has been included to me, copies whereof will be herewith delivered.—This application from so useful and distinguished a corporation, can require no recommendation to the liberty of the legislature of Pennsylvania.  At the same time I deem it proper to lay before you a copy of a petition from the Trustees of Northumberland Academy, directed to me. A few thousand dollars timeously expended in promoting learning and moral instruction, will be the means of saving millions in terrors and in punishments, in insurrections and in wars; besides conferring inestimable advantages on society in other respects. It is education forms the human mind. Although we have neglected to profit what we might by the genius and labors of a Rittenhouse, yet I trust we shall not lose the disinterested services of the learned and benevolent Priestly, whom a kind Providence has placed near this institution.  THOMAS M'KEAN. Lancaster, February 5, 1800.  On motion, and by special order, the said message was read the second time.  Whereupon, on motion of Mr. Maclay, seconded by Mr. Mewhorter,  Resolved, That the message be referred to a committee to consider and report thereon, and ordered that Mr. Gurney, Mr. Findley, Mr. Smith, Mr. Barton, and Mr. Maclay be a committee for the said purpose.  On Saturday, the 15th inst. the House of Representatives of this state had under consideration, the report of a committee on Public Roads, contemplating that the roads hereafter mentioned, should be declared State Roads, and should be placed under the care of the several counties through which the said roads may pass, to be supported at the joint expense of this Commonwealth and of the said counties; and that the judges of the Courts of Common Pleas shall have power to appoint an inspector, if they think it necessary, to examine and report to them when the road, or any part of it, be properly made; and upon report of such inspector, the said judges shall have power to draw upon the State Treasury for one half of the said expense of making and keeping in repair such road, the care of making and
Church's celebrated Eye Salve. For several years universally acknowledged as a certain and invariable cure for inflammations, dimness, dryness, blights, ichurs, and films in the eyes, proceeding from natural weakness, or from accidents, such as blows, dust, lime, or any thing else being thrown into the eyes. It is admirable in natural weakness 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 humors; 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.  [Price 75 cents.]  Prepared only by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his dispensary, 137 Front Street, near the Fly market, New York; and sold by Messrs. H. and P. Rice, 16 South Second Street, Philadelphia.

keeping them in repair to rest upon the respective County Commissioners. 1. The road from Philadelphia to Easton, on the river Delaware. 2. The road from Lancaster thro' York, Gettysburg, Black's Gap, Chambersburg and Bedford, to Pittsburgh. 3. The road from Philadelphia, through Bethlehem and Wilkshire, to Tioga Point. 4. The road from Philadelphia through Reading, Northumberland, Aaronsburg, and Milesburg; thence to Presque Isle, by the road now improving at the expence of the State. On the part of the friends of the report, it was urged, that whilst the present road system is adequate to keep in repair the private township roads, it is totally impracticable to preserve the great public roads, extending to the extremities of the state. A complaint to this effect had been made for many years to the legislature; it was time some effectual remedy should be brought forward to remove the evil.
On the other side it was urged, that whatever were the difficulties attending the present road system, the public treasury, and the difficulty of the times, owing to a scarcity of money, did not admit of the proposed alteration to take place at this time.

BANKRUPT BILL.
The bill intitled "An act to establish an uniform system of Bankruptcy throughout the United States," was read a third time, and the question being Shall this bill pass? Mr. Bishop moved that it be recommitted to a committee of the whole house, for the purpose of making an amendment which he mentioned, and upon the question for commitment, it was lost, only 25 members voting in favor of it. Mr. Davis said, he hoped the question would not now be urged, as there were some members absent, and therefore moved that it be postponed till Monday, and that a call of the House take place on that day — which was also lost, only 35 members voting in favor of it. Mr. Eggleston then rose, to express a wish that the absent members might be summoned to attend, but the Speaker having directed the Clerk to call the members, the question on passing the bill, was carried in the affirmative, in manner following, to wit:

Mr. Davis, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of John Mountjoy, made report, recommending the adoption of a resolution, therewith submitted, directing the Secretary of War to issue a Land Warrant, No. 2492, for 300 acres, bounty land, due to said Mountjoy for his services as a captain in the service of the United States during the Revolutionary War.

Mr. Harrison, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of Isaac Zane, who prayed confirmation of his title to a certain tract of land granted by the Wyandot Nation, made report, recommending the adoption of a resolution for the ap-
pointment of a committee to bring in a bill authorizing and requesting the President of the United States to convey a title to the same — which was committed to a committee of the whole House, and made the order of the day on Tuesday next.
Mr. Harper, from the committee of Ways and Means, to whom was referred the petition of David Wyley and others, who paid for a remission of duties on bills made report, that it was not consistent with the policy of this government, to reimburse any losses incurred under the revenue laws; that the prayer of the petitioners ought not to be granted, and that they have leave to withdraw their petition; in which the House concurred.
Mr. H. from the same committee, made report on the subject of a Loan for the support of government for the year 1800, and submitted a resolution, that it was expedient to authorize the President to borrow a sum not exceeding 3,500,000 dollars, reimbursable in any period within 15 years. The report was read a first and second time, and committed to a committee of the whole house on Monday next.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the house that the Senate had this day come to the following resolution, viz:
Resolved , That the Senate will to-morrow, at half past 12 o'clock, meet in the Senate Chamber, and from thence walk in procession to the Church in Race street, to hear the Eulogium to be pronounced on the character of General Washington.
Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Speaker said, he was requested by a member of the Catholic Church, to inform the house, that seats were provided for the accommodation of such members as would please to attend to hear the delivery of the Oration to-morrow.
Mr. Rutledge said, before the receipt of the message from the Senate, he had intended to move that when the house adjourned they do adjourn till Monday — but the Senate having informed the house, that they intended to walk in procession, he concurred this house ought to come to a similar resolution, and moved the following:
Resolved , That the house of representatives will meet to-morrow, at half past 12 o'clock, at their chamber, and from thence walk in procession to the church in Race street, to hear the Eulogium there to be pronounced on the character of General Washington.
It was objected to this resolution, that it had not been contemplated this house would walk in procession, no arrangement having been made for that purpose — and that as it might be the wish of several members to attend the Oration at the Catholic church, in preference to the one in Race street, it ought to be left to their own option.
The question on the resolution was put and negatived — ayes 40 — noes 43.
The house took up the report of the committee of commerce and manufactures, on the amendments of the Senate to the bill providing for salvage in case of re capture, and concurred therein.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis, their Secretary, informing the house, that the Senate had passed the bill intitled "An act in addition to the act intitled an act for regulating the grants of lands for military services, and for the society of the united brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathens" — with sundry amendments.

Mr. Harper, from the committee appointed for that purpose, having obtained leave, reported a bill to extend the privilege of obtained patents for useful discoveries and inventions, to certain persons therein mentioned, and to enlarge and define the privileges of patentees — which was read and committed to a committee of the whole.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill to allow a drawback of duties on goods exported to New Orleans, and therein to amend the act intitled "An act to regulate the collection of duties on imports and tonnage" — Mr. Rutledge in the chair — when the bill was agreed to without amendment, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday next.

JOHN BURK, an obscure fellow, pretending to be an Author, and who left this country to escape the vengeance, justly due to his crimes, has, as we learn from the respectable authority of the Aurora published a thing, which he calls an "History of the late war in Ireland, from the first meeting at Belfast to the landing of the French at Killala, with an appendix containing a well authenticated series of British cruelties, depredations, &c." Some imported pretender, some Callender's cousin-german has presumed to write and publish a Biographical Sketch of the life of Washington. On a theme so interesting, why is the qualified man of genius silent? "He will not write, and more provoking still, Ye Gods, he will not write, and Mævius will." An illustrious life is degraded by an incompetent Biographer. An Agricola demands a Tacitus.
A Taylor's advertisement, in a late London paper, begins thus: "diminution of the tax on income," and proceeds in a manner that every premier from Mazarine to Pitt must approve: "as the exigencies of the times require more than usual exertions in persons of every rank, to enable them to bear the taxes the wisdom of the legislature has imposed, economy in articles of dress can be no small requisite, therefore, at S's, in Monmouth street, breeches may be had at the reduced price of 14s."
Even in our own gazettes, a whimsical advertisement is sometimes to be found. In a late evening paper, we read that "a youngish widow, who can be well recommended, wishes to engage as a housekeeper." A graceful rake of my acquaintance, who is a tolerable critic in the English language, and who is confident that there is no good authority in Johnson's dictionary, for the word youngish , thinks that there must be an erratum, and that for youngish we ought to read liquorish . But as this is an impure conceit, altogether unworthy a virtuous mind, it will be more candid and correct to suppose, that this youthful female, who thus wishes to farm out her perfections, and keep the houses or excite the affections of the gentlemen, means only a modest statement of her capacity to discharge her housekeeping duties.

Resolved , That the thanks of the Society be presented to the Rev. Dr. Rogers, for his introductory prayer.

Resolved , That the thanks of the Society be presented to Mr. Law, to Mr. Kruth, and to the young Ladies and Gentlemen who composed the Choir in celebration of the day.
By order of the Society, M. McCONNELL, Assistant Secretary.

FOR THE CURE OF FITS.
The patent Antispasmodic Elixir. Convulsion Hysteria, or Epileptic Falling Fits, Are effectually cured by this excellent medicine. Its virtues are absolutely specific and unparalled. It has failed in no instance within the knowledge of the proprietor (where taken agreeable to the directions, and with perseverance) the most dreadful Fits ever known. One case of cure only is subjoined out of a considerable number, as proof of its efficacy attested before the Lord Mayor of London.
AFFIDAVIT.
"I, James Cook, of No. 40, North-street, in the Parish of St. Luke's Middlesex, do make oath — That I was grievously afflicted with fits for upwards of 14 years! and that to so violent a degree, as to require 12 men to hold me in them, to prevent me dashing myself to pieces. They would generally last me 5, 6, and often 7 hours; in consequence of which my constitution became quite emaciated. I made application to many eminent gentlemen of the faculty, who afforded me no relief whatever; till I applied to Dr. James Church of the City Road, who prescribed his Antispasmodic Elixir for me, which I took, and which alone cured me of these most dreadful fits; and restored me to perfect health. This deponent further maketh oath, and saith, that it is now two years since he was first cured of his fits, and he has no return whatever of them since.

The Year 1800 is arrived!
UNION TAVERN, In George-Town, upon the Potomak, is FOR SALE, Upon the premises, on the first Monday in May next.
THIS Tavern was built by the subscriptions of a number of gentlemen as a necessary and useful improvement to the town — It cost 16000 dollars in the year 1796 when materials and workmanship were much cheaper than at this time. The terms of subscription were that it should be sold to the highest bidder on the day above mentioned.
It is a handsome, substantial brick building, of three stories, fronting sixty feet on the most public street in the town, and running back sixty three feet upon a wide and convenient street — The house is admirably calculated for a tavern. It contains upon the first floor four large rooms, one of them 30 by 20 feet and another 23 by 20, besides a large bar and dressing room, upon the second floor is an elegant assembly room, 60 by 30 feet, and three convenient lodging rooms. Upon the third floor are ten excellent lodging rooms — the guest admits of a division of ten more. There is also a good kitchen and commodious cellars sufficient for such a house. Passages and cross passages intersect the house in such a manner as to make each room private.
There are stables sufficient for the accommodation of fifty horses, with convenient sheds for carriages — attached to the building are three lots of 60 feet by 120 each, which front on three streets, and in the back yard and not so yards from the kitchen is a copious and never failing spring of most excellent running water.
The nature of improvements and their convenience to the city of Washington must render this property a most desirable acquisition to any person who may wish to carry on a tavern upon an extensive scale. The immediate removal of the government of the United States must receive to it full and complete custom.
The terms of sale are, one third in cash — one third in 120 days, and the other third in 240 days, to be secured by approved notes negotiable at the Bank of Columbia or at either of the Banks in Baltimore, possession to be given on the day of sale and a perfect title made clear, of all encumbrances, on the last payment being made.

The nervous, debilitated, or sedentary, whose diseases have in a great measure baffled the powers of medicine, would do well in making trial of
The American Botanical Tea, which need only to be taken to acquire universal approbation; not only for its balsamic and restorative properties, in all decays from age, intemperance or disease; and in preserving a good constitution and mending a bad one, but for its claims to public favor, as a pleasant and wholesome breakfast; which will be found infinitely superior to foreign Tea. Arida and others whose professions require a steady hand, will find great relief from the use of this vegetable diet, but particularly those who lead a sedentary life.
A package at 75 cents, will last one person for breakfast, nearly one month.
It is sold wholesale and retail only by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, 137 Front Street, New-York; Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16 South Second Street, Philadelphia; and Mr. Rice, Baltimore.

CURE FOR THE RHEUMATISM, Palsy, gout, lumbago, white swellings, sprains, bruises, numbness, chilblains, acute chronic rheumatism, rheumatic gout, is recommended Dr. CHURCH'S Chemical Extract and Essence of Mustard, Prepared only by Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, New-York. There perhaps is no malady to which the human frame is subject, that has had more applications of various kinds administered as remedies, than the Rheumatism: nor is there scarce a disorder that has resisted with like force the attempts made to remove it. The virtues of the Essence and Extract of Mustard, will be found to equal, if not excel those of any other medicine whatever, in the cure of the above complaints. The following is copied from the London Pharmacopoeia and is the opinion of the College of Physicians concerning this valuable Drug. "Mustard, by its acrimony and pungency; stimulates the solids, and attenuates viscid juices, and hence is deservedly recommended for exciting appetite, promoting digestion, encerebrating the fluid secretions; also paralytic and rheumatic affections." These medicines contain all the virtues that can possibly be derived from that excellent and powerful vegetable. The Essence is prepared in a fluid state, and is singularly efficacious as an external application; common rheumatism, sprains, chilblains, stiff necks, swelled joints, bruises, frozen feet, local pains in any part of the body or extremities, swelled faces, chopped hands, &c. will be found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours. The Extract is prepared in the form of pills, and being an internal remedy is an amazing additional improvement, taken in the severest cases of the Rheumatic Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, Palsy, fixed pains, Lumbago, Numbness, Gouts, &c.—When the essence is externally applied it promotes gentle perspiration, and operates very mildly by urine; they also amend a weak digestion, and strengthen the stomack. Sold as above with printed directions for use. Where also may be had, CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, a medicine unequalled by any in the world for the cure of Coughs; Colds, Asthmas and Consumptions.—Also by Mr. Price, Baltimore, and Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia. February 16.
HUMOURS ON THE FACE AND SKIN, Particularly pimples, blotches, tetter, ring-worms, tan, freckles, sun burns, shin-gles, redness of the nose, neck or arms, and prickly heat. Are effectually cured by the application of The genuine Vegetable Lotion. This excellent remedy has been administered by the inventor, for several years while in England, with the greatest success. By the simple application of this fluid for a short time, it will remove the most rancorous and alarming scurvy in the face, which has foiled every other remedy. It possesses all the good qualities of the most celebrated cosmetics, without any of their doubtful effects. He therefore recommends it with confidence to every person so afflicted, as an efficacious and certain cure. Prepared only by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his dispensary, 137 Front street, near the Fly market, New York; and sold by Messrs. H. and P. Rice, 16 South Second street, Philadelphia. February 12.
