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

To William Wills & John Armstrong.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE been your advertisement "To the Public" whereby you offer your services to locate United States Military Land Warrants, and in which you assert that you "possess su- perior information to any others" and that you can locate warrants "the most advantageously." As I believe you have not explored more of the Military District than some other persons who also offer their services to locate warrants—per- mit me to suggest the propriety of altering your advertisement, so as to do justice to those whose knowledge of the Military Land is, at least equal to that which you possess. I do not mean that all who advertise as locators are superior, or even equal to you, in the knowledge of it. I see advertisements by persons who have never ex- plored a single range, and by others who have been over but a small part of the Military Land —to these your advertisement would apply; but as you class all other locators as inferior to yourselves, I have taken the liberty of giving you the above advice, which if attended to with candour will, for the present satisfy.

The Rev. Doctor MARTIN MILDMAY has at length transmitted us the long promised Soliloquy, by the Author of the "Elegy on a Northampton Patriot." To those who feel inclined to object to the Doctor his passion for Democratic Erudition, and in the words of the divine Tully to say, "Sic enim delectat ex iisdem font- ibus haurire," we have only again to ans- wer that the Doctor is a lover of Genius in the abstract, and that when federal in- dustry will not furnish him with an op- portunity to sober its productions to the two-fold, he will draw from other fountains.
SOLILOQUY Over a Bundle of Certificates clenching in the fist of an orphan Infant in its Cradle.
By the same Author.
Raro antecedenti scelestum Deseruit pede poena claudo. Hor.
Oh! the off'nce is rank; 'twould smell to heav'n. It hath a primal, ancient curse upon't. Rob orphans—orphans trusted to my charge! I never pray'd and will not now begin. My thirst for gold o'erpow'rs my dread of law And like a man to simple calling bound No more I pause, but straightway thus begin. (Snatches away the Certificates and puts them in his pocket.) What if this cursed Democratic hand Were drench'd in murder as 'tis now in theft; Needs any ruff, in my companion's eyes To wash it white ag st ? Wheresoever guilt But to confound the frost of honesty? To Godwin and to Paine then, let me turn, And all the hosts of new Philosophers; Here I am free, since I am full possess'd Of that effect for which I did the robbery; The Cash, the Cash, the Cash, the Cash, the Cash. May one have their sweet voices, and retain it? In the corrupt current of this world. A patriot's gilded hand may move by justice. And there is no abuse.
Some learned Notes, explanatory of dark Passages in this Poem, were transmitted to us along therewith; but being for the most part in Greek, Hebrew, French and Ameri- can, we thought them calculated only for re- condite readers.
The Republic of France, after having drenched the world in tears and blood, has bowed to the invariable fate attendant on all such enterprises; the same fate is pre- paring for that of America. The stuff where- of Robespierres are made, is not wanting in our country. There are not wanting men, who are ready, on all occasions, to insult the dignity of the Government, by address- ing to its officers the slang of French Lib- erty and Equality, or to stigmatize the defend- ers of the country with vile and opprobri- ous appellations.
The late revolution in France appears to us an unequivocal decision of the popular sentiment in favor of Royalty. The sover- eign people sacrificed the old government and zealously co-operated in seating the new into power, under the hope of thereby ap- proximating the conclusion of a peace. As peace cannot be concluded, or hoped for, with the dominant mountain usurpers, there can be little doubt that a consciousness of this will lead them to reinstate their lawful monarch; or that the people, finding peace not attainable through their means, will fa- cilitate them also, to this their darling and indispensable object, and themselves restore their exiled King.
DEMOCRACY—AN EXTRACT.
Ah me! what formidable figure's this, That interrupts my words with fancy hiss? She seems at least a woman by her face, With harlot smiles adorn'd, and winning grace; A glittering garret on her breast she wears; The flaming torch two incriptions bears, "Servant of Servants" in a laurel wreath, But "Lord of Lords" is written underneath: A flowing robe that reaches to her heels The fairness of her shape from sight conceals; She holds with poison'd darts a quiver stor'd Circæan potions and a flaming sword. This is Democracy—The safe is plain, She comes attend by a motley train; Address'd to the people! Lo! unfold, Rods, scourges, letters, axes others hold. The sorceress waves her magic wand about And models at her will the rabble rout Here violence puts on a cloic disguise, And Public Spirit character disguises. The dres's of policy fee cunning steal And persecution wear the coat of zeal; Hypocrisy religion's garb assume, Fraud virtue shape and figure in her room, With other changes tedious to relate, All emblematic of our present state. She calls the nations—Lo! in crowds they sup Intoxication from her golden cup; Joy to my heart, and pleasure to my eye, A chosen phalanx her attempts defy In rage she rises; and her arrows throws, O! all ye saints and angels interpose. Amazement! every shaft is spent in vain The sons of truth inviolate remain, Invulnerable champions! sacred band! Behind the shield of loyalty they stand; Unhurt, unfurl'd, they maintain their ground, And all the host of heav'n their praises sound. Yet too, too many feel her baleful spell, Bleed by her shafts, or by her venom swell.
In London, lots are leased for the term of ninety-nine years to tenants who take care to build their houses in such manner that they literally fall to the proprietor of the ground. The Constitution-makers of Europe build also on speculation, and calculate pretty much in the same way. They fashion their building so as to stand over their heads, just till they have scattered their nets, and then retire from it, with a sauve qui peut , or the devil take the hindmost, leaving it to be pulled down by their successors.
No. X.
To the honorable Thomas Jefferson, Esq. Vice President of the United States.
In my last, Sir, I published the detached parts of your letter to governor Henry. In this I shall lay before you and my fellow citizens, the whole of that letter.
But first I must be permitted to state a few facts, which preceded and which caused that letter to be written. The late gov- ernor Henry and myself became intimate- ly acquainted while students at Princeton college, when both of us were very youths. A friendship then commenced between us, the continuance of which, in an unint- errupted state, after we should separate from that seminary, was not very probable, con- sidering the different parts of America in which we were born. It so happened, how- ever, that, on his return home from his stu- dies, he found me settled in Maryland, in a county adjoining to that in which he liv- ed, and in the midst of his most respected acquaintances. Our friendship was renewed and only ceased with his death. I am not, Sir, lukewarm in my affections—nor do I ever suffer any person to speak with disrespect of my friend, my country or my God, without shewing immediately my most marked disapprobation. Many, and many a time have I, with all that ardency which constitutes a prominent feature in my char- acter, vindicated that gentleman from the obloquy and abuse which your friends and partisans most unmercifully bestowed upon him, at a time, when there most certainly existed between you and him something more than "shades of political difference." My friendship for him and my conduct in what related to him he well knew, and I believe most perfectly reciprocated my senti- ments.
It was in the month of November, sev- teen hundred and ninety seven, that I first saw him after he was elected governor of this state. At that time I had published my letter to Pennell and my first letter ad- dressed to you in Porcupine's gazette, both which he had seen.
The first time we were alone, he, with great delicacy, introduced the subject, at the same time convincing me that he took an interest in every thing which concerned you, intensely beyond what you merited from him. He expressed to me a wish that the discussion should not be continued in the manner in which it was then proceeding; and that a compromise of some kind could be effected. I instantly told him that you had circulated through the universe an in- famous calumny, injurious to a family which was dear to me, with which I was connect- ed, and from which my children were de- scended.
That it was in my power to do them jus- tice, by proving the falsehood of the charge, and that I felt it my duty to do. I then stated to him the facts as they really existed; as I was able to prove them; and as I have since done; upon which he declared, that if such were the facts, he thought you was bound in honor, as a gentleman, who re- garded his reputation, to come forward and apologize for having been the circulator of that falsehood, and that in his opinion there was no consideration which could justify you in adopting a contrary mode of proce- dure;—And further added that, as he was intimately acquainted with the senators in Congress from the state of Virginia, he would write to one of them expressive of his sentiments on the subject.
To this I replied, that whatever he did of that nature, must be done as from himself, and not at my instance or request; that I could do my family justice without your aid;—that from you I asked nothing;— and that if you acted with propriety on the occasion, I should feel myself disappointed.
I further assured him that I would in no respect pledge myself as to my future con- duct, let you act what part you might think proper. Thus ended our conversation, the only conversation we had on that subject. In consequence of what then passed between us, it appears that governor Henry did write to Mr. Tazewell; and that you in consequence did write a letter to gov- ernor Henry, which, keeping your secret, he never communicated to me, but a copy of which I have obtained from his near rela- tion, a worthy friend of mine, who has in his possession, the papers of the late governor Henry, and to whom I applied for it, as soon as I conveniently could (being at a dis- tance from him of more than one hundred miles) after I saw the Richmond publica- tion. And with the copy of this letter I now present yourself and the public.
The letter which formerly concluded my correspondence with Mr. Jefferson was No. 3, the last letter, to preserve the se- ries, will be considered as No. 9—this of course is No. 10.
Such parts of Mr. Jefferson's letter, as were published in the Richmond Examiner as being detached parts, are included in brackets thus [ ]
Philadelphia, Dec. 31, 1797.
DEAR SIR, Mr. Tazewell has communicated to me the enquiries you have been so kind as to make relative to the passage in the notes on Virginia, which has lately excited some newspaper publications; I feel with great feasibility the interest you take in this busi- ness, and with pleasure go into explanations with one whose objects I know to be truth and justice alone. [Has Mr. Martin that proper to suggest to me that doubts might be entertained of the transaction respecting Logan, as stated in the notes of Virginia, and to enquire on what grounds that state- ment was founded, I should have felt myself obliged by the enquiry, have informed him candidly of the grounds, cordially have co-

operated in every means of investigating the fact, and correcting whatsoever it should be found to be erroneous. But he chose to step at once into the newspapers, and in his publications there a d. the letters he wrote to me, adopted a style, which forbade the respect of an author. [Sensible however, that no act of his could absolve me from the justice due to others, as far as I found the story of Logan could be doubted, I determined to enquire into it, as accurately as the testimony remaining after a lapse of twenty odd years would permit, and that the result should be made public either in the first new edition, which should be printed of the Notes on Virginia, or by publishing an appendix to it. I thought that as far as that work had contributed to impeach the memory of Cresap, by standing on an erroneous charge, it was proper that it should be made the vehicle of retribution. Not that I was at all the author of the injury; I had only concurred with thousands, and thousands of others in believing a transaction on authority which merited respect, for [the Story of Logan is only repeated in the Notes on Virginia, precisely as it had been current more than a dozen years before they were published] when Lord Dunmore returned from his expedition against the Indians in 1774, he and his officers brought the speech of Logan and related the circumstances of it; there were so affecting and the speech itself so fine a morsel of eloquence, that it became the theme of every conversation, in Williamsburg particularly, and generally indeed where any of the officers resided or returned. [I learned it] in Williamsburg I believe [at Lord Dunmore's; and I had in my Pocket-Book of that year (1774) an entry of the narrative as taken from the mouth of some person, whose name however is not noted, nor recollected precisely, in the words stated in the Notes on Virginia.] The speech was published in the Virginia Gazette of that time. I have it myself in the volume of Gazette of that year, and though it was the translation made by the common Interpreter, and in a style by no means elegant, it is through all the public papers of the continent, and through the magazines and other periodical publications in Great-Britain and those who were boys at that day will now attest that the speech of Logan used to be given to them as a school exercise for repetition. It was not till about 13 or 14 years after the newspaper publications that the notes on Virginia were published in America. Combating there the contumelious theory of certain European writers, whose celebrity gave currency and weight to their opinions, that our country from the combined effects of soil and climate degenerated animal nature in the general, and particularly in the moral faculties of man. I considered the speech of Logan as an ample proof to the contrary, and used it as such; and I copied verbatim the narrative I had taken down in 1774, and the speech as it had been given us in a better translation by Lord Dunmore. I knew nothing of the Cresaps, and could not possibly have a motive to do them an injury with design. I only repeated what thousands had done before, on as good authority as we have for most of the facts we learn through life, and such as to this moment I have seen no reason to doubt. That any body questioned it was never suspected by me, till I saw the letter of Mr. Martin to the Baltimore paper. I endeavored then to recollect who among my contemporaries, of the same circle of society, and consequently of the same recollections, might still be alive, three and twenty years of death and dispersion had left very few. [I remembered] however, [that general Gibson was still living, and knew that he had been the translator of the speech. I wrote to him immediately, he in answer declares to me he was the very person sent by Lord Dunmore to the Indian towns, that after he had delivered his message there, Logan took him out to a neighboring wood, set down with him, and rehearsing with tears the catastrophe of his family, gave that speech for Lord Dunmore, translated it for him; it has turned to it in the Encyclopedia as taken from Notes on Virginia, finds that it was his translation that I had used, with only two or three verbal variations of no importance. These I suppose had happened in the course of successive copies.] I cite General Gibson's letter by memory, not having it with me, but I am sure I cite it substantially right—[It establishes unquestionably that the speech of Logan is genuine, and that being established, it is Logan himself who is the author of all the important facts.] "Colonel Cresap (says he) in cold blood and unprovoked, murdered all the relations of Logan not sparing even my women and children, there runs not a drop of my blood in any living creature." The person and the fact in all its material circumstances are here given by Logan himself. [Gen. Gibson says indeed that the title was mistaken, that Cresap was a captain and not a colonel, this was Logan's mistake, he also observes that it was on a water of the Kanawha and not on the Kanawha itself, that his family was killed]—This is an error that has crept into the traditional account, but surely of little moment in the moral view of the subject. The material question is, Was Logan's family murdered and by whom? that it was murdered has not I believe been denied; that it was by one of the Cresaps Logan affirms. This is a question which concerns the memories of Logan and Cresap, to the issue of which I am as indifferent as if I had never heard the name of either. I have begun and shall continue to enquire into the evidence additional to Logan's, on which the fact was founded. Little indeed can now be heard of, and that little dispersed and distant. [If it shall appear on enquiry that Logan has been wrong in charging Cresap with the murder of his family, I will do justice to the memory of Cresap] as far as I
have concurred in believing and repeating what others had believed and repeated before me. [If on the other hand I find Logan was right in his charge, I will vindicate also as far as my suffering may weigh the truth of a chief, whose talents and misfortunes have attached to him the respect and commiseration of the world.] I have gone, my dear Sir, into this lengthy detail to satisfy a mind in the candor and rectitude of which I have the highest confidence. So far as you may incline to use the communication for rectifying the judgments of those, who are willing to see things truly as they are, you are free to use it; but I pray that no confidence which you may repose in any one may induce you to let it go out of your hands, so as to get into a newspaper; against a contest in that field I am entirely decided. [I feel extraordinary gratification in addressing this letter to you, with whom shades of difference in political sentiments have not prevented the interchange of good opinion, nor cast off the friendly offices of society and good correspondence; this political tolerance is the more valued by me, who considers social harmony as the first of human felicities, and the happiest moments those which are given to the effusions of the heart.] accept them sincerely I pray you from one, who with sentiments of high respect and attachment, has the honor to be, dear Sir, Your most obedient most humble servant, [TH: JEFFERSON.] And now, Sir, as I would not willingly fatigue you, I shall for the present take my leave of you. LUTHER MARTIN. Perpetual Motion. Two men who were confined in goal at Goshen for counterfeiting dollars, boast of having discovered, during their confinement, the perfect motion! The price they demand for a communication of their discovery is by stipulation to be paid before bond, together with a liberation from goal, and a pardon for past offences; but the cooler says, he supposes they mean to define their pretended discovery, by making good dollars, which are as likely to be kept in perpetual motion in a commercial country as any thing within the reach of man's inventive faculties. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. January 17. Mr. Trimble being introduced, presented to the chair a message from the governor. And having withdrawn, the same was read as follows—viz. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Gentlemen, I HAVE approved and signed the bill entitled, "an Act decaring the marriage of Alexander de Tilly, and Maria Matilda de Tilly (late Maria Matilda Bingham) to be fraudulent, null and void;" and now return it to the Secretary of the House of Representatives, in which it originated. THOMAS M'KEAN. Lancaster, 17th January, 1800. Friday, January 24. The committee of ways and means appointed December 16th. last, to enquire whether any, and (if any) what offices other than those of the judges of the high court of errors and appeals may with safety be abolished as unnecessary; and also to enquire and report on the propriety of decreasing the salaries of the officers of government and the wages of the members of the General Assembly, made report, which was read as follows, viz. That they have taken the subjects, into their consideration, and are of opinion, that the business in the land department may be transacted in a manner much more plain and simple than at present, with considerable less expense to the state by abolishing the offices of the Receiver General, Secretary of the Land Office and Surveyor General and vesting in the State Treasurer all the duties of the Receiver General (except as to the Board of Property) to be vested in the Register General; and that a Land Office should be appointed by the Governor, who shall be the sole judge of the business cognizable by the Board of Property, and perform all the duties of the Surveyor General and the duties of the Secretary of the Land Office so far as they relate to the issuing of patents, and that no fees should be received in the Land Office, except for searches and certified copies of papers. The committee offer the following resolution, viz. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to report a bill agreeably to the aforesaid principles. The committee further report that they are of opinion the wages of the members of the General Assembly may with propriety be decreased: They therefore offer the following resolution, viz. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to report a bill allowing the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives three dollars, and the members of the Senate and the members of the House of Representatives two dollars for each and every day they shall attend their respective duties. Ordered to lie on the table. Friday, January 31. The house took up the report of the committee of ways and means, laid on the table the 24th inst. The first resolution contained therein, recurring— On the question "will the house agree to the same?" the Yeas and Nays were called
for by Mr. Blair and Mr. Kepple and were as follows, to wit: YEAS. Messrs. Barclay, Blair, Brown, Buckley, Bull, Campbell, Cobean, Dunlop, Erwin, Fox, Franklin, Haga, Hannum, Herbach, Hopkins, Kepple, Keys, M'Nair, M'Pher-son, Miller, Palmer, Pelfon, Royer, Sam-ple, A. Scott, J. Scott, Stover, Strickler, Taylor Turner, Wynkoop—31. NAYS. Messrs. Weaver, Altier, Barnet, Beale, Boileau, Conrad, Coolbach, Cunningham, Davis, Eyre, Folmer, Frailey, Harris, Hartzel, Holleletter, Ingels, Lane, Ley, Linnard, Logan, Lyle, M'Dowell Mitchell, Painter, Penrose, Potts, Roberts, Rose, Rugh, Shoemaker, Smith, Snyder, Udree, Urie, Van Horne, Whitehill, Wilson, (N. & W.) and Witman—38. So it was negatived. The second resolution being under con-sideration, a motion was made by Mr. Frailey seconded by Mr. Boileau and carried as follows: "To insert after the word "dollars" where it first occurs—"and 3 dollars for the Clerks of the Senate and House of Represen-tatives and 10 shillings for the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of each House." A motion was then made by Mr. Frailey, seconded by Mr. Dunlop, further to amend by adding thereto these words, viz. "and to repeal the act entitled a further supple-ment to the act entitled an act for the support of the government of this commonwealth, passed the 22d day of April 1794." A motion was made by Mr. Whitehill, seconded by Mr. Udree, to postpone the fur-ther consideration of the said proposed amendment, resolution and report. On the question will the House agree to the postponement, the yeas and nays were called for by Mr. Kepple and Mr. Dunlop and were as follows to wit: YEAS. Messrs. Altier, Barnet, Beale, Boileau, Conrad, Cunningham, Davis, Eyre, Folmer, Frailey, Harris, Hartzel, Holleletter, Ingels, Lane, Ley, Linnard, Logan, Lyle, M'Dowell Mitchell, Painter, Penrose, Potts, Roberts, Rose, Rugh, Sample, Shoemaker, Smith, Snyder, Udree, Urie, Van Horne, Whitehill, Wilson, Wit-man—37. NAYS. Messrs. Weaver, Barclay, Blair, Brown, Buckley, Bull, Coolbach, Dunlop, Erwin, Fox, Franklin, Haga, Hannum, Herbach, Hopkins, Kepple, Miller, Palmer, Pelfon, Royer, A. Scott, J. Scott, Stover, Strick-ler, Taylor, Wynkoop. 26. So it was determined, in the affirmative and the report, resolution, amendment &c. &c. all fell to the ground!!! CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, February 7. A bill entitled "An act in addition to an act entitled an act regulating the grants of lands appropriated for military services, and for the society of the United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the heath-ens;" a bill entitled "An act respecting the Mint;" a bill entitled "An act de-claring the assent of Congress to certain acts of the States of Maryland and Georgia;" and a bill entitled "An act giving further time to the holders of military warrants to register and locate the same," were re-spectively read the third time, and passed. The amendments of the Senate to the bill entitled "An act providing for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States," were taken into consideration, and ordered to be referred to the committee of ways and means. Mr. Harriton presented a memorial of sundry inhabitants of the Little Miami, purchasers of lands from J. Cleves Symms, praying a confirmation thereof; Referred to the committee appointed on the subject of public lands. Mr. Macon called up for consideration the resolution which he laid on the table for a reference to the committee of ways and means, to consider the expediency of au-thorizing the collectors of the direct tax, in the State of North Carolina, to receive pa-per money of that State, in payment; when the resolution was again read and negatived—ayes 31—nays 40. The house went into the committee of the whole on the bill providing the means of intercourse between the United States and foreign nations; Mr. Parker in the chair; and after making some progress therein, rose, and obtained leave to sit again. A written message was received from the President of the United States, by his Se-cretary, Mr. Shaw, in the words follow-ing, to wit: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, In consequence of your request to me, conveying in your resolution, of the fourth of this month, I directed the Secretary of State to lay before me, copies of the papers intended. These copies, together with his report, I now transmit to the House of Representatives, for the consideration of the members. JOHN ADAMS. United States, February 7, 1800. Mr. Rutledge moved that the message, and papers accompanying it, be referred to the Committee appointed in pursuance of a Res-olution constituting an enquiry whether any provision is necessary to be made to carry into execution the 27th art. of the Bri-tish treaty. Mr. Livingston hoped not—and super-seded the motion of Mr. Rutledge, by moving a reference to the Committee of the whole House. Mr. Randolph called the yeas and nays upon it—which were agreed to be taken. After a long debate, both these motions were withdrawn, and the message ordered to lie on the table and be printed for the use of the Members. Mr. D. Fuller, from the Committee of Claims, made a report on the petition of Nathan Heston, who asked for further com-pensation as Paymaster to a Company of Kentucky Volunteers.—The report states, that the petitioner's accounts have been duly and properly settled at the War-Office—that he has received pay, forage and subsis-tence, and all other allowances that the usage of settling accounts would justify—and therefore that the prayer of the petitioner ought not to be granted. The report was read a first and second time, and concurred in by the House. The House again went into a committee of the whole on the foreign intercourse Bill—Mr. Parker in the Chair—when the bill having been gone through with, Mr. Gallatin moved an additional sec-tion to the bill, limiting its duration to the expiration of the first session of the 7th Con-gress. Mr. Harper moved to amend the amend-ment, by limiting the duration of the ad-jection only.—After considerable discussion. Mr. Otis said, that wishing as he did, all monies necessary to be appropriated for this object, might appear in one view, he would move, that the Committee rise, in order to move that the Committee of the whole be discharged from the further consideration of the bill. The motion for rising was put and carried—ayes 43—nays 38—and upon the question "shall the Committee have leave to sit again?" it passed in the negative. The bill was then re-committed to the Committee of revival and unfinished business who reported it. Adjourned till Monday.
Gazette Marine List. Port of Philadelphia. Arrived at Marcus-Hook, the ship Adria-na, Fletcher. Sailed from Portsmouth the 21st Nov. in company with the British West India and Mediterranean fleets of 200 sail, under convoy. Several American vessels in the fleet—the Recovery of New-York, bound to Charleston, was the only one known to Capt. Fletcher, who left the fleet all well after 15 days sailing.

Dr. Stevens was on board the Experiment at the time of the engage-ment. Jan. 31 in the Gulph Stream, off Cape Hatteras, took up the crew of the Hamburg ship Frederick, capt.

The captain thought of making the first port: Saw her a-tern abreast of Cape Henry at sunset, but the wind coming to the N. E. blowing hard, the flood off. Capt. B. came into the Capes on Sun-day evening and had scarcely cast anchor before the tremendous gale we experi-enced here on Monday, set in. Next day saw a sloop from St. Vincent's come

Left Hampton Roads on Tues-day morning, and saw the Schooner Her-ty, Manson, ship Cleopatra, and several other square-rigged vessels belonging to this port, in the bay, bound up.

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

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts; per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Papers, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
In all countries, the proceedings in the assessment of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity; owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in these rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15. 1798." To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experienced inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.
