QUESTIONS
To Merchants, Store keepers, and Tradesmen in general, &c.
1st. PRAY Gentlemen, is a perfect standard of discount, or interest, calculated on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, from one day to sixty-four days inclusive, of any value, whether used as a standard, or as a check upon the enquirer's own calculations?
2d. Is it of any importance to know the best methods of computing the exchanges, between this country and the principal maritime trading place in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in several of the Windward and Leeward West India Islands, and many ports in the East Indies?
3d. Is a table of all the coins and monies of account in the places aforesaid, of any use?
4th. Are the coins and monies of account in the aforesaid places, when reduced to dollars and cents, of any service?
5th. Is a table of compound interest of any utility?
6th. Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable?
7th. Is the amount of interest, accurately calculated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, of any value?
8th. Is a table of all the post towns in the United States, and rates of postage therewith, of any use?
9th. Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as ever entered a counting house or store?
10th. Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 200 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars?
And lastly, Is the person, who at the expence of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS undertakes to perform upwards of one hundred and sixty thousand calculations of interest, and of giving all the preceding information to the public in the most complete manner, deserving of your Encouragement and Support?
If the answer is in the affirmative, you are individually and respectfully invited to subscribe in one of the specimen books, exhibited at the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Franklin Head, and at the George.
It is proper to state, that the work will not be executed unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained; for four thousand dollars is too much to hazard.
NOTHING IS TO BE PAID IN ADVANCE, neither will it be expected of subscribers to take the work when published, if it is not delivered rigorously conformable to my agreements with the public, expressed in the conditions annexed to the specimen books, each of which consists of six detached pages of the work.
I am, with respect, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accountant, Bank of North America.
POSTSCRIPT.
The work is dedicated, by permission, to the President and Directors of the Bank of North America, and has already received the patronage of JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States; of THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice-President of the United States, and President of the Senate; of a large number of Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of the United States; and of the Presidents and Directors of the different Banks universally.
The Specimen Book in the Bank of North America, is filling very fast with subscriptions, some for 2 copies, some for 3 copies, and some for 5 copies, and I take this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging all favours.
Gentlemen having business at either of the Banks may subscribe there as well as at the Taverns, &c. already mentioned. Copy-right secured according to act of Congress, March 10.

Territory of the United States, North West of the river Ohio. For the information of non residents, proprietors of lands situate and lying within said territory. By a law passed in the general assembly of said territory, on the 19th of December, A. D. 1799, entitled "An Act levying a Territorial Tax on Land," all lands lying within said territory, the property of individuals, non-residents, as well as residents, are subjected to taxation to defray territorial expenses.
EXTRACTS FROM SAID LAW. Published by Authority.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That there shall be paid within this territory, the following taxes, for every hundred acres of land, and so in proportion for a greater or smaller quantity: the land shall be divided into three classes, according to the quality, that is to say, first, second and third rate—the first rate shall be taxed at eighty-five cents, second rate at sixty cents and the third rate at twenty-five cents, per hundred acres, which said taxes shall be paid annually in the manner described by this act; and the following rule shall be observed in rating any tract of land, to wit—when a greater part of a tract shall be superior in point of quality to second rate land, it shall be denominated first rate; when a greater part of a tract shall be inferior to first rate and superior to second rate in point of quality, it shall be denominated second rate; and when the greater part of a tract of land shall be inferior to second rate, it shall be denominated third rate—taking into view the surface of the earth as well as the quality of the soil. Provided always, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to subject a y lands lying within the limits of the contract made by John Cleves Symmes and his associates, with the board of treasury, and without the boundaries of their patent, until the same shall have been granted by the United States: And provided also, That the unimproved lands in the Vincennes and Illinois country, shall not be listed at higher than second rate.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That the territory shall have a perpetual lien on every tract of land add every part thereof, for the amount of all taxes, and 10 per cent interest thereon, from the first day of September; and no alienation of lands belonging to any person, or neglect in entering or listing the same, shall effect the claim or lien of this territory, until the taxes and interest thereof due from such person, are paid.
Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That the territorial auditor and the clerk of the peace of each county respectively, shall keep a book for the purpose of entering lands of non residents in manner and form hereinafter directed. All non residents shall enter their lands with the auditor, or with the clerk of the peace of the country in which the land lies, on or before the first day of July, who shall administer an oath to the person delivering such list, or by any other means procure satisfactory information for the purpose of ascertaining the quality of such land, placing it in its proper class, under the name of the county in which it lies; and every non resident shall enter his or her land, agreeably to the rules and regulation of this act, as in case of residents. All taxes on lands, listed by the commissioner, and returned to the clerk as aforesaid, shall be paid, with interest thereon, to the sheriff or collector, as the case may be. And the taxes on all lands, listed by the auditor (or by the clerks of the peace and certified to the auditor) with the interest that may be due thereon, shall be paid to the territorial treasurer or to the sheriff or collector of the proper county, but the treasurer shall not receive from the non resident, any taxes, unless such non resident pay the same before the first day of August, annually, nor until such non resident shall produce to him, a certificate from the auditor or the clerk of the peace respectively, of the quality of the land, for which he or she is about to pay the tax, with the amount due thereon, which certificate shall be, by the treasurer, filed in his office. The auditor of the territory and the clerk of the peace of the several counties respectively, shall keep books of transfers; and every non resident, who has entered his or her lands, in manner aforesaid, may, on the transferring the same or any part thereof to any other person or persons, have the alteration made with the auditor or clerk of the peace respectively, and charged to the person or persons to whom transferred, and such person shall be chargeable with the tax of such land or lands hereafter; and each person having the alteration made, shall pay to the auditor or clerk of the peace respectively, twenty-five cents, to his own use. And it shall be the further duty of the auditor, in the month of August, yearly and every year, to transmit to the clerks of the peace of the several counties respectively, a certified extract of all lands entered in his office, or alterations therein made in the preceding year, noting thereon the tracts of land on which the taxes have been paid into the territorial treasury. Provided always, That it shall be the duty of the several clerks of the peace, upon receiving from the auditor, a list of the non residents' lands entered in his office, to make diligent search and enquiry of the non residents' lands lying in each of their respective counties; and after comparing the said auditor's list with the list of non residents' lands entered in his office, shall proceed to list all the residue of the lands belonging to non residents not before listed, noting the quantity and quality of the several tracts of
land, so by him discovered and not before entered, and such as he cannot with certainty ascertain the quality of, he shall enter as second rate; and shall make out and transmit one copy to the territorial auditor, and a second copy of such list the clerk shall deliver to the sheriff or collector of the proper county, to govern him in collecting the taxes due thereon, as in other cases of non residents' lands.
Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, That the sheriff or collector shall be authorized to sell for much of each tract of land charged with taxes, as will discharge the amount thereof, with costs: Provided goods and chattels cannot be found thereon to the amount. And the sheriff or collector in that case, shall advertise the time and place of sale one month, at the door of the courthouse, and also, at four other public places in his county; and if the person claiming the land does not pay the amount on or before the expiration of the time, the sheriff or collector shall proceed to sell; after such sale, the sheriff or collector shall deliver to the purchaser a certificate of the quantity of land sold, describing therein the tract that was charged with the tax, and the end or side from which the quantity sold was taken, which shall always be laid off as nearly in a square as the situation will admit of; And the surveyor of the county, on the receipt of such certificate, shall by himself or deputy proceed to survey the quantity sold as aforesaid, agreeably to the said certificate, and charge the purchaser with the expenses of the same. The surveyor or his deputy as the case may be, shall give notice to the former owner, if in the county, or his agent, if any he has therein, of the day on which the survey is to be made: And upon the plat and certificate of survey being presented to the sheriff or collector, it shall be his duty to convey the same to the purchaser by deed, in due form of law executed, which conveyance shall vest in the purchaser all the right, title and interest of the proprietor; and in consideration of law shall also vest the possession of the land in the purchaser: Provided always, that nothing therein contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to bar the right or equity of redemption, which any infant, person non compos mentis, or in captivity, may have the land so sold, provided the taxes and charges thereon, with interest, and an equitable compensation for improvements thereon made, be rendered within one year after such disability be removed.
Sec. 14. And be it further enacted, That when any tract of land, or part thereof, is not sold upon being exposed, and the tax on the same not paid, it shall be the duty of the sheriff or collector to advertise and expose the same to sale in like manner, as to time and place as aforesaid, at every court of quarter sessions, until the land be sold or the tax be paid thereon; and no sheriff or collector, or their deputies, shall directly or indirectly purchase any land that shall be exposed to sale for the payment of taxes.
Sec. 16. And be it further enacted, That when any non-resident fails to pay to the treasurer the tax and interest due on any tract of land, on or before the said month of August annually, the auditor shall, at the same time when he transmits to the several clerks of the counties the amount of lands entered in his office, certify to the several sheriffs or collectors, as the case may be, such failure of payment, stating particularly the amount of the taxes due thereon; and also at the same time advertise the same in one of the Gazettes of this territory, for four weeks successively; whereupon the sheriff or collector shall, forthwith after receiving such list, proceed to advertise on the court house door of his proper county, the said tracts of lands on which the tax is due, stating the amount thereof, and that he shall proceed to make sale of the same to satisfy said taxes, unless the same shall be paid on or before the first Monday in November, or so much thereof as will pay the taxes and expenses attending the sale; and the said sheriff or collector shall advertise the same in four different public places within the county, and if the amount of taxes is not paid, on or before the time mentioned, the sheriff or collector shall proceed to sell each tract, or so much thereof as will amount to the taxes and interest, with legal costs: and when any tract, or part thereof be sold, the sheriff or collector shall proceed in the same manner to have the same conveyed to the purchaser as is directed in case of residents; and it shall not be lawful for the sheriff or collector, or their deputies, directly or indirectly, to purchase any land sold under this section.
Sec. 17. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the territorial auditor to publish such extracts from this law, as relates to the lands of non-residents, in one newspaper within this territory; and also, in one newspaper at the seat of the general government, and at the city of Richmond in Virginia; and the town of Boston in Massachusetts; and the city of Hartford in Connecticut, for the term of six weeks, to commence on the first week in February next, and the expenses thereof shall be defrayed out of the territorial treasury.

* These two tracts do not contain the full quantity of the original warrants & part of them having been conveyed away.
WILLIAM COBBETT TAKES this method of apprizing those persons who left books with him (in the philanthropic city of Philadelphia) to be sold on commission, that the part of their property which remained unsold on the 20th of December last, was attached, in the hands of Mr. John Morgan, at the suit of one Ruth , treasurer of the Mint, and inventor of the famous mercurial purging powders. And he further informs the owners of the said property, so attached by the said treasurer of the Mint, that, unless they, or before the return of the same is made to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the said property will be liable to be sold for the benefit of the said Ruth , in part payment of the famous 5000 dollars, lately awarded to the said treasurer and powder inventor, by a Philadelphian jury.—And, that the parties concerned may not be at a loss to know what they ought to claim; a list of their names and also of the several articles attached as aforesaid, is hereunto subjoined; to wit:
1. WILLIAM SMITH, Esq.  American Ambassador at the Court of Portugal , is informed that eight copies of his work on the American Constitutions, are in jeopardy, as above mentioned; and also a large bundle of his detection of Jefferson , and his defence of the character and conduct of John Adams !—When Mr. Smith was taking so much pains in making this defence, he little imagined that its circulation was to be put a stop to by an attachment on the part of a man appointed to a fat office by Mr. Adams! 2. A person whom I have forgotten is requested to reply a dozen or two of copperplate heads of John Adams !—These are very valuable. They will, in a few years time, be regarded as precious as the hairs of Julius Cæsar . I much wish, therefore, that the treasurer of the Mint may not yet have an opportunity of exposing them for sale among the profane vulgar. 3. SAMUEL HARRISON SMITH is told to reply, or to let it alone, just which he pleases, 38 magazines, sent for him and received by me, from Messrs. Pritchard and Davidson of Richmond, Virginia.—Those if sold for their real worth, would fetch about a penny a score. 4. ROBERT FIELD is told to reply 33 caricatures of Talleyrand & Co. coloured. 5. Some one whom I have forgotten will please to claim 31 Sermons to the Jews. 6. Mr. Campbell (the author) will claim 8 Soldiers' Companion. 7. Poor Mrs. Pepper will please to claim 16 copies of her husband's poems. 8. Mr. Urick will claim 3 Age of Credulity. 9. Mr. Ormerod will claim 2 vols. of Bach's internal Gazette. 10.

AN AUTHOR'S EVENINGS.
PRYOR proposes an excellent remedy for that rage of curiosity, which torments the young and inexperienced, eager to see the world. It is nothing less than a complete indulgence of this inquisitiveness. Its gratification, according to the poet's theory, is its radical cure. He imagines a sequestered and curious beauty, lighting for the delights of the metropolis. Let her go, says the judicious bard.
In an elegant pamphlet of Edmund Burke, written a short time before his decease, we find the following elevated sentiments worthy of a highminded gentleman, and a biter of meanness and malignity in any station. It contains also a most happy compliment, to Lord GRENVILLE, and shows what value; by the discriminating mind of a great orator; was affixed to praise from one, who in allusion to a passage in Paternoster was himself worthy to be praised.
"Some, perhaps, may think the Earl of Lauderdale and the Duke of Bedford executors in their own wrong, but I have nothing to complain of. They have been the means of bringing out by their inventions the handsome things which Lord GRENVILLE has had the goodness and condescension to lay in my behalf. Retired as I am from the world, and from all its affairs and all its pleasures, I confess it does kindle in my nearly extinguished feelings, a very vivid satisfaction to be so attached and so commended. It is soothing to my wounded mind to be commended by an able, vigorous, and well informed statesman, and at the very moment, when he stands forth with a manly and resolution, worthy of himself and his cause for the preservation of the person and government of our Sovereign, and therein for the security of the laws, the liberties, the morals, and the lives of his people. To be in any way connected with such things is indeed a distinction. No philosophy can make me above it: no melancholy can depress me so low, as to make me wholly insensible to such an honour."
Dr. JOHNSON in his imitation of JUVENAL's "Quamvis digressu veteris confusus amici" has produced some sharp lines at the expense of London, which though they might apply in the year 1738, would now characterize a city, nearer home.
All, that at home no more can beg or steal, Or like a prison better than the wheel, Hiss'd from the stage, or routed from the court, Their air, their dress, their politics import. How, when competitors like these contend, Can furlly virtue hope to fix a friend? Slaves, that with serious impudence beguile And lie without a blush, without a smile; Explain their country's dear bought rights away And PLEAD FOR PIRATES IN THE FACE OF DAY; With sophist tarts taint our poison'd youth And lend a lie the confidence of truth. By numbers here from shame or censure free, All crimes are safe but hated poverty; This, only this, the rigid law pursues, This, only this, provokes the snaring muse: The sober trader at a tatter'd cloak, Wakes from his dream and labours for a joke; With briskest air the painted drummers gaze, And turn the varied taunt a thousand ways. Of all the ills that harass the distrest'd, Sure the most bitter is a coastal jest. Fate never wounds more deep the generous heart, Then when a blockhead's idle points the dart. Then though the land a wretched wanderer roam, For love can surving merit find a home? In vain your mournful narrative disclose, While all neglect, and most insult your woes.
As I was comparing Dryden's translation of Juvenal's third Satire, with the vigorous and happy imitation by Doctor Johnson, I turned to Sheridan's edition of the original; and, struck with the initial lines, as applied by Juvenal to Umbricius, Laudo, tamen, vacuis quod sedem figere Cumis Destinet, atque unum civem donare Sibillae, I thought a slight parody of Johnson's elegant lines would apply to a recent circumstance.
Though grief and fondness in my breast rebel, When angry PATER bids the State farewell, Yet still his choice excites my languid smile, I praise the Writer but regret the exile. Resolv'd from fever, and from juices far, To breathe in JAY's domain a bracing air, And, fast by Hudson's populated shore, Give to the Paris one true Briton more.
The capitulation of Coni assures the delivrance of Italy, and completes the tenth disgraceful expulsion of the French from that country.
Coni was called the Virgin Fortress, having never till now been taken; its surrender by treason to the French excepted.
Our democrats at length have found out that Buonaparte is a detestable villain. They seldom open their eyes until they find all the world laughing at them. They might have learned from us long since that their beloved Republican had the cause of Liberty and Equality as little at heart as the Grand Turk. Like themselves, like all Republicans, he held his patriotic principles, under a very politic curb, however they might lead him to occasional gambols. In the language of an American paragraphist, he drove his steeds into a goodly palace,—and stopped.

POLITICAL PORTRAITS.
From the SHAKESPEARE GALLERY.
FRANKLIN'S DISCOVERIES.
I know the more one sickens, the worse at ease he is; and that he that wants money, means and content, is without three good friends:—That the property of rain is to wet, and fire to burn:—That good pasture makes fat sheep; and that a great cause of the night, is the lack of the sun; and that he who hath learned no wit by nature, nor art, may complain of good breeding, or comes of a very dull kindred.
A FOREIGN TOP.
There can be no keynel in this light nut; the soul of this man is in his clothes: trust him not in matter of heavy consequence; I have seen these creatures tame, and I know their natures. He smiles his face into more lines than are in the new map with augmentation of the Indies: you have not seen such a thing as 'tis. I can hardly forbear hurling things at him. If a Lady should strike him he'd smile, and take it for a great favor.
PORCUPINE.
What cannoner heget this lady blood? He speaks plain cannon. He gives the batisado with his tongue. Our ears are cudgel'd;—not a word of his But buffets better than a fist of France. I think there's ne'er a man in christendom Can kiss his love or hate him not. For by his face (straight shall you know his heart, Lofy and four to those who love him not, But to those men, that sought him, sweet as summer) —Because he cannot flatter and speak fair, Smile in men's faces, smooth, deceive and cog Duck with French nod, and spin courtly Must he be held a rancorous enemy?
To be continued.
The establishment of the last new Constitution in France, which appears to have been completely effected, may be justly regarded as the final extinguishment of the last glimmering spark of republicanism in Europe; and if the system of perfidy and rapacity so long practised by France be admitted to have justly passed under the denomination of republicanism, there will be no honest man who will lament its subversion.
It will exist matter of less surprise to the Historian, that experiments should still continue to be made on the nature of man, after the uniformly fruitless issue of all past attempts, than that men should have followed in the beaten track of former time, and sacrificed their comfort and their peace in projects, to have discarded which, they needed only to have opened the page of the past. The Sovereignty of the People is an useless and impracticable delusion, which almost once in every age, shoots like a baleful meteor athwart the earth,—leaving in its track, wretchedness and ruin; exacerbated by the cruel reproaches of conscious folly, and more than brutal blindness and infatuation.
The suffering hour of France is not yet past; the humiliation of beholding a foreigner wield a despotic sway over the destinies of the empire, is not the last act of reproach to be recorded. New ruffians remain behind the childish curtain of French volubility, and Buonaparte and Bibulus will ere long give way to other wretches, whose idle vanity will aim at the dignity of the mock tiera—the mock apery of majesty—the nauseating repetition of the old devices of old jugglers long since laughed into the scorn or crushed by the curses of mankind. Very probably the Consul will number fewer days, than the Citizen has numbered years. A more frivolous circumstance than the neighing of a horse, shifts the reins of empire amongst revolutionary Frenchmen; and a kingdom may now be bought at a less price than was paid by Jovian. The best wish, that can be framed by the best friend of France, is, that Frenchmen may turn and overturn, 'til be shall come whose right it is to rule.
The French have exchanged their pentarchy, for a mon archy. But the new monarchy like the old pentarchy, is incongruous, ridiculous and short-lived.
The great Bank of Democracy has failed in the downfall of French Republicanism. The very fountain of their blood is stopped; their great Pac Simile of murder-lost. It is no longer that we shall injure the cause of republicanism by avenging the misdeeds of piratical ruffians; it is no longer that the overthrow of our government shall be vowed, for its ingratitude and hatred to republican France. The ties are loosed—the gordian knot is cut; and France, by ceasing to be a republic, of course ceases to claim our vassalage. Be not deceived!
A gold-bitted sword, set with diamonds, of the value of 500 guineas, or upwards, would be an honorable and appropriate present to be voted to Captain Truxton. In the British House of Commons such votes do often obtain; tho' we do not recollect to have heard of their laying on the table. When a man deliberates on a question of feeling, all merit of generosity or honorable motive is destroyed.
The stupid ass who in the Aurora complains of a wish that fire should burn the philosophy of Priestley, is the identical fellow who toasted La Sainte Guillotine, at the festival of Cannibals.
A democrat heated with the gin-fumes of an Irish feast, raves about the Irish blood in his veins. One would think these wretches must have very little blood, Irish or French, in their veins, when their minds are so full of it.
Et cantare pares, et respondere parati." In the senate of the United States, two great luminaries have blazed forth during the present session with astonishing splendor.
By their extraordinary oratory and energy they have abashed and confounded all their political adversaries. From this preface, the enlightened public, which never errs, must have anticipated the illustrious names of the Hon. Mr. Cocke, and the Hon. Mr. Charles Pinckney, whose instructive, elegant speeches have diffused new lustre over the debates of our National Senate. 'Tis very seldom we meet native or acquired powers so much alike, for after seeing one, the other is so exactly exemplified, that the nicest critic can scarcely perceive the difference. The same majesty of person, graceful address, melodious, sonorous voice, unconstrained action, undaunted self-possession, and high rhetorical flourish; have by the kind hand of nature been equally and liberally heaped on both. Each without previous thought, or arrangement can come forward on all questions, and surprise the audience with entertaining bursts of supereminent exhibition; darting at intervals, most winning glances of complacency towards the approving gallery. So vehement is the tornado of their eloquence, that were the doors and the windows of this horrible Dream, thrown completely open, every syllable uttered by these bold defenders of the rights of man might be distinctly heard by the sovereign people in the State House yard, and indeed throughout the city. Such is the magic of their dulcet numbers, that like Orpheus and Linus, they would gather round them, and fix motionless in the forests, our drays, our carts, our wheel-barrow, oyster men, and even the obstruse sweps. Then the matter, the argument, the sagacious illustration, are deep, deep, deep!!! unfathomable by any federal; nay by any mortal man. No Senator (is so gravely affected by the Aurora) has ever hazarded an attempt to answer, because nobody has been able to dive down to the bottom of the vast profundity of their views, or to trace the subtle evanescence of their rare conceptions. The ablest Federalists start back from the horrors of a frightful inanity which baffles all experience, and sets reason at defiance.
Fortunately for the present state of things these colossal leaders of antirepublicanism, are confined to the Senate, where few have the opportunity of hearing, or seeing them. Were two others such, or were either of them in the other house, alas! alas! our Bayards, Marshalls, Harpers, Rutledges, &c. &c. &c. would sink into hopeless despair and become mute. Republicanism itself would be extinguished, and the only variety which could be hoped for to cheer the scene, would be the spitting and roaring of the jealous indignant Lyon.
Doublets there will be prodigious anxiety amongst our learned readers, to hear which of these gigantic orators is the superior;
Non nostrum—Tanta componere Lites. We cannot venture farther, than a very diffident opinion, that Mr. Cocke excels at an impromptu, and generally in reply:—He seldom makes what is called a set speech. Nature has done every thing for him. He never brings Lloyd into the gallery to report his speeches, nor does he write himself, or employ others to write puffs, or panegyrics in the newspapers upon his character or public conduct. Indeed he is so very modest that he seldom introduces himself or his own achievements into debate, nor has he ever been suspected of writing his own eulogies, or of turning trumpeter of his own fame.
Although we may appear partial to Mr. Cocke, yet candor obliges us to confess that Mr. Pinckney is perhaps the strongest upon a great question, when he has taken time and studied it to the bottom.—He then hastens into the midst of things, seizes the passions, imprisons the judgment, congeals the senses, and raises up as it were by enchantment, so formidable an array of imagery, covered and secured by brazen artillerie that the weapons fall from the hands of his antagonists, and he never fails to dismay, to terrify, to scatter, or to silence them. Where his alternate success is in any degree doubtful, he fulminates with infinite ease and effect incessant volleys, of precedents, decisions, and profound maxims, which he had heard, or learned, or proposed in the Grand Convention. This masterly weapon is always decisive, and leaves him in quiet possession of the disputed field, there being no armour yet known of a temper to resist it, nor any combatant hardy enough, to attempt its use, or to encounter its terrible flings.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, March 20.
The bill for the relief of John Collet, was read a third time and passed, 48 members voting in favour of it.
Mr. D. Foster brought in a bill for the relief of the corporation of Rhode Island college, which was read a first and second time, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Craik brought in a bill to divide the Territory of the United States N. W. of the river Ohio into two separate governments, which was read a first and second time, and made the order of the day for to-morrow.
Mr. Otis said, it seemed to him, that as the seat of government was about to be removed to the Federal City, preparatory measures ought to be taken for that purpose. It appeared to him to be placing too much confidence in the Commissioners, or any other individuals, to leave entirely at their disposal to their disposal to provide for the reception of government—and in order that measures might be taken by this House, for that purpose, would move the following resolution:
Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to consider what measures it is expedient for Congress to adopt, preparatory to the removal of the seat of government, with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Griswold's motion for appointing a committee to examine the public accounts was taken into consideration, and after being modified by the suggestion of Mr. Gallatin, was adopted.
Mr. Harper then introduced a resolution instructing the committee to report generally all the expenditures of the present government, civil list and other ordinary expenses excepted, which was after some debate, postponed till to-morrow.
Mr. Jones brought in a bill supplementary to the act to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and to preserve peace on the frontiers, which was read a first and second time, and committed for to-morrow.
Mr. A. Foster moved, that a member be added to the Committee appointed to consider what further compensation ought to be allowed the officers of the House, in place of Mr. Livingston, absent without leave. After some observations from Mr. Rutledge, as to the point of order, the motion was carried.
The House went into committee of the whole on the unfavourable report of the Committee of Commerce on the petition of Stoffer, Clats and Wallace; when Mr. S. Smith gave his reasons why he hoped the report would not be concurred in—and was followed by Messrs. Sewall and Nicholas, in favour of the report—when the question was taken, and the report of the committee was agreed to, ayes 45, noes 31.
By this decision, enemy's vessels captured by private armed vessels of the United States, and condemned in a foreign port, are not entitled to a Regulator, any instructions from the Secretary of State to commanders of such vessels, to the contrary notwithstanding.
The unfavourable report of the Select Committee on the petition of certain aliens resident in Mount Pleasant, state of New York, was taken up and agreed to.
The House went into Committee of the whole on the bill to provide for the execution of the 27th article of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation made with Great Britain—Mr. Parker in the chair—when the bill having been read by the Clerk, a motion was made and carried that the committee rise and have leave to sit again.
The unfavourable report of the Committee of Claims, on the petition of Amy Darwin, was taken into consideration, and after long debate, the question for agreeing with the report, was carried, ayes 42; noes 42; Mr. Speaker declared himself in the affirmative.
A message was received from the President of the United States, by his Secretary Mr. Shaw, informing the House, that the President did yesterday approve and sign the act intitled "An act to alter the times of holding the District Court in N. Carolina." Adjourned.
In Senate, Wednesday, the first resolution of the report of the Committee of Privileges, after being modified, in the manner following, was adopted:
Resolved, That the said publication contains assertions and pretended information respecting the Senate, and the committee of the Senate, and their proceedings, which are false, defamatory, scandalous and malicious, tending to defame the Senate of the United States, and to bring them into contempt and disrepute, and to excite among them the hatred of the good people of these United States; and that the said publication is a high breach of the privileges of this House."
Yesterday Morning, the second resolution was taken up, and the blanks therein being filled, the question was taken by yeas and nays, and decided in the affirmative—Yeas 18, Nays 10.
The resolution, as adopted, is as follows:
Resolved, That William Duane, now residing in the city of Philadelphia, the Editor of the said newspaper, called the General Advertiser, or Aurora, be and he is hereby ordered to attend at the bar of this House, on Monday, the 24th day of March inst. at 12 o'clock, at which time he will have opportunity to make any proper defence for his conduct, in publishing the aforesaid false, defamatory, scandalous, and malicious assertions and pretended information; and the Senate will then proceed to take further order on the subject; and a copy of this and the foregoing resolution, under the authentication of the Secretary of the Senate of the United States, and attested as
a true copy by James Mathers, Sergeant at Arms for the said Senate, and left by the said Sergeant at Arms with the said William Duane, or at the office of the Aurora, on or before the 22nd day of March inst. shall be deemed sufficient notice for the said Duane to attend in obedience to this resolution.

Which arrived at a very late hour, accounts are received (via Savannah) to the 8th January, from London, and 9th from Liverpool. An irregular attempt had been made by the mock King, Buonaparte, and his Prime Minister, Talleyrand, to inveigle the British into a Negotiation. British sagacity penetrated the slimy design; Lord Grenville in the name of the King, exposed its nakedness; and it appears to have completely failed.

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.

Eighty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the Subscriber, at Newtown, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 2d January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto female child, about two years old, named Nanny. Nanny is a dark yellow negro, about five feet four or five inches high, remarkably handsome for a negro. Her clothing unknown as she took a variety of good cloaths with her—the went off with a negro fellow, named Peter, and calls himself Peter Simpson, he is the property of a certain William Bowers of Talbot county, state as above, who has advertised one hundred dollars reward for him. Peter is a stout well-made yellow fellow, about 6 feet one inch high, is a tolerable good Carpenter. Nanny passes for his wife, but her real husband is named Bob, who belongs to her master. It is probable they are in the neighbourhood of Salem in the Jerseys, as they were there in October last, and by information, Peter had built himself a house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed, as Peter can write a middling hand; it is probable Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away.
The noted Ferryman Charles, who calls himself Charles Rodney; he went off on the 18th of February last, he is a dark mulatto, about five feet eight or nine inches high, about forty years old, hoops in his shoulders when he walks, a fear on his head very perceptible—he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years old, her mane trimmed and bob tail'd; his clothing unknown, as he carried off a variety of cloaths; it is probable he has changed his name, as he is a very artful, sensible fellow, he can read tolerably well; it is likely he may hire himself to drive a waggon, being well acquainted with that business, driving for the army during the war; he also perhaps may have a pass.
The above reward will be given for the aforesaid two negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if taken out of the state, or twenty dollars for Nanny and child, if taken in this state, & 200 dollars Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again. If brought home all reasonable charges shall be paid by me.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A SOVEREIGN REMEDY
For Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthma, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (or sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and ballams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever—But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, loosens the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reserve of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the
HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DR. HAMILTON'S
Genuine Essence and Extract of MUSTARD.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, &c. a great number of attended cures may be seen at the place of sale. Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative for constitutions debilitated by intemperance of any kind; and for the cure of Nervous Complaints, Inward Weakness, Obstinate Greets, Fluor Albus in women, &c.
Hamilton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Itch Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops which had never failed effecting a cure, Dr. Hahn's Antiphlogistic Pill, ditto Corn Plaister, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Cowland's Lotion, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE
Is recommended (particularly to the Ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER
FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Those who wish to procure the medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above.
Wholesale purchasers will receive a liberal allowance by application to LEE & Co. Baltimore, who have obtained the general agency for the United States.
