TO THE PATRONAGE OF A liberal and enlightened Community IS SUBMITTED THE PROSPECTUS OF A New Daily Paper, TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE OF THE OBSERVER, AND Daily Repository of useful Information. IT will doubtless be deemed a hazardous undertaking to present to the public eye proposals for a new Gazette, when so many are already in possession of the public patronage. News-papers so much more generally diffused throughout America than perhaps any other portion of the globe, may become either engines of mischief or the implements of useful lessons—they disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thousands; and although it may be presumptuous in the Editor of that now proposed to expect that its utility will be great, yet he may be admitted to declare, that it shall not willingly be made the means of doing evil. His endeavors will be applied to render, The Observer in some degree conducive to the attainment of knowledge as well as to the communication of news—to enlighten the understanding—to improve the morals—to beget, or to confirm, a reverence for the sacred principles of Christianity. For this purpose it is intended— To furnish the most recent foreign and domestic intelligence; To give useful Prices Current at home and abroad, and other commercial information; To select from literary productions such portions as may gratify taste and induce improvement; To unfold and enforce sound and just views of government; To aid the great interests of piety and morality. To present occasionally— Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agriculture and domestic economy; Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures; Reports of the Heads of Departments, and of interesting cases adjudged in the several courts of the United States, &c. Reviews of foreign and domestic literature; Anecdotes and characters of distinguished persons; Statistical tables; Meteorological observations; Appointments; Marriages, Births, Deaths. With these proposals the subscriber diffidently submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his native land, and viewing with anxious fears and hopes the success of a government created by the joint exertions of wisdom and virtue, and conducted with sound policy and genuine patriotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and national prosperity.
CONDITIONS. I. The Observer shall be printed with a neat type, and on paper of equal size and quality with the present Philadelphia daily papers. II. It shall be published every evening, and regularly sent to the houses of the city subscribers—To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions. III. The price will be Eight Dollars per annum to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and directing their papers. IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the expiration of twelve months from the publication of the first number. The succeeding payments to be half yearly. V. Advertisements that do not exceed in length the breadth of the column will be 60 cents for the first, and 30 cents for every additional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion. ZACHARIAH POULSON, jun. March 8, 1800. fmsf

NO RISK! To Merchants, Store Keepers and Traders in general, &c. [You will oblige me by reading this advertisement throughout.] I RESPECTFULLY invite you either to the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis' Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Franklin's Head, or to the George, to examine a specimen of Rowlett's Tables of Discount or Interest, on every Dollar, from 1 to 3,000; on every ten, from 200 to 2500; on every fifty from 2500 to 3000; and on every five hundred from 3000 to 1000; from one day to 64 days inclusive, at six per cent. comprising in the whole, upwards of one hundred and thirty-two thousand one hundred and fifty calculations of discount; all performed according to the equitable principles of the Banks, and as practiced between individuals throughout the United States; being a perfect standard on the subject; with notes, showing how to use the tables at five, seven and eight per cent. reckoning either 360 or 365 days to the year, and the mode of calculation on cents; to which is added, the principles of computation of the various exchanges between each State respectively, and between these and London and Paris, at different rates of exchange. 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 the Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of the United States; and of the Presidents and Directors of the different Banks unanimously:—a list of the whole is printed and attached to the specimen book. The preface to the specimen explains, among other matters, the methods to be pursued to render the work perfectly accurate—and gentlemen who will reflect on those methods will agree in the fact. Every one will acknowledge the arduousness of the undertaking. The expenses, independent of any compensation for my trouble, will require a sum between three and four thousand dollars, which is two much to hazard—all must depend therefore upon a general subscription; for unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained, it would certainly be imprudent to execute the work. Subscribers can run no risk, as the book (which will be quarto, from 200 to 225 pages, or more—price two dollars) is not to be paid for until delivered rigorously conformable to my engagements expressed in the conditions annexed to the specimen, which consists of six detached pages of the work. A table of all the post towns in the United States, and some other useful information (not expressed in the title) will follow the computations of exchanges between this country and England and France; and provided, gentlemen, that a sufficient number of you come forward and subscribe, a further addition shall be made of the coins and money of account of the principal maritime trading places in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and in several of the windward and leeward West India Islands, the whole reduced to dollars and cents; and the mode of computing the exchange with those places explained; also, a large table of calculations at compound interest at 6 per cent. to which the notes for 5, 7 and 8 per cent. will apply—the tables used in banks for the determination of the value of sold; and the interest for each month from one to twelve months, which will make the work still more acceptable to persons living in the country as well as in town; and upon the whole, I am confident, that this book will be found as generally useful and convenient as any matter of fact-performance that ever entered a counting house or store. It is not sufficient that an individual (confiding himself but one) shall conclude, instead of subscribing, to purchase the book when published, as some of the members of the House of Representatives of the United States have done; for, however many I am obliged to these, the loss of many ONES' subscriptions may lose me the race, and the book may never be published. I repeat, that nothing is to be paid in advance. And am, very respectfully, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accomptant Bank North America. Postscript.—Gentlemen who have business at either of the Banks, or at the Philadelphia Library, will have an opportunity of subscribing there, as well as at the Taverns, &c. before mentioned. Copy right secured according to act of Congress. March 6. T&S&W
Three Cents Reward. RUN away from the Subscriber on the evening of the 28th inst. a bound SERVANT GIRL, named Elizabeth Bowdell, had on and took with her three different changes of garment and money, proud, bold and impudent, a noted liar; any person apprehending her shall be entitled to the above reward—no costs or charges will be paid.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, December 17.
Letters from the Cape of Good Hope mention, that hostilities were likely to break out with the Caffres, instigated by the Dutch, who were inimical to the English.
December 18.
From the Sun.
The greatest part of our Journals, and particularly those of opposition, have argued on the supposed armistice which is said to have been concluded on the Lower Rhine, as upon a certain fact, and have predicted that a general suspension of arms, and even a partial peace, will be the consequence of it.
One of our contemporaries appears to us to have drawn an inference on another subject, not more correct than those to which we have above alluded.
We are ignorant what facts or what intelligence can have given rise to this opinion. Far from being in the Paris papers any thing which can warrant it, we find there that La Fayette and Latour Maubourg had received orders to quit that capital; and we know, through private channels, that their arrival had produced an effect that was unfavorable to them.
December 19.
From the Advertiser.
A bulletin was yesterday handed about in the ministerial circles stating that the Austrians had taken possession of Genoa.
Captain Hardy left Palermo the 14th of November. The date of his leaving Leghorn we have not learned, but he must have had a tedious voyage, or have passed a considerable time at the latter place to enable him to bring any news relative to the situation of Genoa, later than that which we have received by Paris journals.
Naples, notwithstanding all that has been done by the Turks, Russians, Calabrians, &c. it should seem, is not yet reduced into a state of regular government, and the king, it is said, will not visit his capital until the month of May.
Before capt. Hardy left Sicily, Sir Thomas Trowbridge had proceeded to Malta to command the blockade of that island.
Bonaparte and his colleagues were lately accused of entertaining a plan to re-establish the slavery of the negroes, and place the French colonies on their ancient footing.
The ex-marquis de Grignon, one of the principal leaders of the Chouans, was killed in an action near Chamboaud on the 18th of last month.
Several of our newspapers have reported, that La Fayette has received orders to quit Paris.
The late decree of the French consulate, withdrawing all further supplies for the maintenance of their prisoners, was extremely sudden and unexpected; as only a few days before, M. Perigaux, the banker, remitted to Mr. Hammerley 60,000l.
One of the last ordinances of the Emperor Paul in regard to dress is, that every person shall have his whiskers cut off.
Mr. Horneman, who is a young Hanoverian, full of health and enterprize, has written a letter to Sir Joseph Banks, from Tripoli.
A very ingenious author who has lately written on the subject of Food, is of opinion that the same quantity of meat and flour as would in the shape of boiled or roasted meat and bread afford a sufficient meal to two persons, would in the shape of a meat pie afford sufficient for four persons.
December 20.
We yesterday received by express, Paris papers to the 13th inst. which, although they contain no military fact that is at once authentic and of much importance, will, we have no doubt, be found interesting.
In Switzerland there is nothing new. The French army is increasing there every day in the absence of its commander.
The banks of the Neckar offer more interesting matter than those of the Bornida and the Stura.
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, & 25 do. Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again.
For eighteen days from the 6th instant, subject to the ratification of the two hostile governments; but hostilities were not to be renewed without notice, should it not be ratified.
But it is with respect to France itself that these papers are most worthy of attention.
It is supposed that the approaching promulgation of the public establishment, as Roderer calls it, will render the legislative debates more interesting than they have lately been.
Neither the political schemes of Sieyes, nor the imperious decisions of Buonaparte, nor the conciliatory propositions of general Hedouville and the commissary Lecointre Puyraveau, have had any, pacificatory influence on the Royalists of the west.
A number of curious and remarkable articles are to be found in our subsequent columns, among which is an idolatrous letter addressed to Buonaparte by the Carmagnole Herald of his victories, Barrere.
We leave our readers to form their own judgment on the pacificatory speculations of the French Journalists, on the desire imputed to Buonaparte, of assuming for the basis of a new peace the treaty of Campo Formio — and on the refusal of the imperial court to accede to it as a basis.
Eighty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New-town, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's county, a woman named Nanny, went away on the 23d January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto-temple child, about two years old, named Arianna.
The noted Ferry man 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, stout in his shoulders when he walks, a scar 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 waggan, 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, & 25 do. Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again.

A STATE GOVERNOR.
Whether it be the fault and glimpse of newness, Or whether that the body public be, A horse whereon the Governor doth ride, Who, newly in the seat, that it may know, He can command. Let's straight feel the spur: Whether the tyranny be in his place, Or in his brain, that fil's the cup He staggers o'er;—But this new Governor Awakes us all the encolled penalties, (the wall, Which have, like uncour'd armour, hung by So long that nineteen winters have gone round And none of them been worn; and, for a name, Now puts each drowsy and neglected act Freshly on us. Now liberty plucks justice by the nose And ***** made the clerk, and quite athwart Goes all decorum.
From the Massachusetts Mercury.
Poverty of thought and attenuated matter mark the page, too generally, of American writers; how often is the protracted column crowded with the impressive demonstration of an axiom? And all the beauties of tautology and repetition displayed to rouse the attention of the curious reader? The theme, like the tortured steel beneath the hammer of the Cyclops, grows longer by the repeated strokes of imposed metal; and like "a wounded snake drags its slow length along." Sometimes we are presented with a motley production, which is indebted for birth to every quarter of the globe—composed of scraps from Latin, Greek and Chinese Philosophers and Critics—of the same use to these daring Genii—as a pocket book to a dog (excuse the comparison) carrying them in their mouths without knowing their contents. Citations from authors of acknowledged merit and celebrity are sometimes not only useful but necessary to corroborate opinions of an author or disputable nature—to give an additional force to moral, as well as speculative truth; and like the trembling light, seen from a cottage in the wilderness, convince the traveller that his path, tho' devious, is not wholly untrrodden; but when they compose a superstructure on the fancy foundation of ignorance, their beauty is destroyed by their disposition; and like patch work, prove the pride as well as poverty of the writer. Would these learned gentlemen scribblers be content to write for the amusement of themselves and a select few, who are capable of discovering and tasting the beauty of their composition—I would leave them in the peaceful enjoyment of their sp'ightly sallies, brilliant ideas, high wrought metaphors, and delectable contemplations; but when they obtrude their productions on a less discerning world, or those whose partiality is unbalanced by kindred motives, they will reap a rich harvest of sovereign contempt.
Nothing is without its cause. The natural enquiry then is, whence originates this oppression of the press, this tax on paper, ink and quills? Fair science, tho' far from being a coquette, is rather a coy dame.—A smile, or a kiss at farthest, is the most her suitors must expect for years of attention. The full fruition of all her charms was never granted to any. Merit and modesty are the only inlets to her favour—while the rude advances of the inflated coxcomb are repulsed with marks of merited contempt.
I presume it is more from a want of system in the pursuit of knowledge than a capacity for attaining it, which prevents its acquisition. Too little time is allowed for the perusal of an author to make us acquainted with his thoughts or impress them on the mind.—How many, in estimating their knowledge, will enumerate the books they have read?—How extensive must their knowledge be, who have read a volume an hour by the clock? As many boast—and who more fit to write? H.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, March 17.
Mr. Parker said, it was customary in all countries to reward men who had rendered service to their country, by performing gallant actions; for some time we had known that Captain Truxtun, in the Constellation frigate of the United States, had had an action with a ship of great force in the West Indies, but until yesterday it was not known with what ship he had so gallantly contended—but now it is ascertained, that the ship he fought and beat was La Vengeance French ship of war, of 52 guns; the battle was amongst the most bloody and desperate that has taken place with such unequal force, and terminated most honourably to the Captain, Officers, and Crew of the Constellation. Other nations, in reward for such bravery and good conduct, reward their officers, if they survive, with titles; if they fall, with monuments; the first we have not the power to give, and if we had, would they be more grateful to our officers than the approbation of their country expressed by Congress—the latter we have granted to none; Something of the sort will be done for our departed illustrious chief; it ought to have been done for others, but as we with not encounter experiences, and believing that our approbation will be grateful to the captain, officers and crew of the Constellation, which have a second time distinguished themselves so handsomely in defending the rights of their country, by either capturing or vanquishing ships of superior force, and stimulating even other officers to follow the example, and thus make our flag respected. I beg leave to offer the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, That a Golden Medal, emblematical of the late action between the United States, Frigate Constellation of 38 guns, and the French ship of war La Vengeance, of 52 guns, be prepared under the orders of the Secretary or the Navy, and presented to Capt. Thomas Truxtun, in testimony of the high sense entertained by Congress of his gallantry and good conduct in the above engagement, wherein an example was exhibited by the Captain, Officers, Sailors, and Marines, honourable to the American name, and instructive to its rising Navy.
Ordered to lie on the table. The bill entitled "An act to fix the compensation of the Pay-master-general, and the assistants of the adjutant-general," was read a third time and passed.
Mr. Claiborne, from the committee appointed for that purpose, reported a bill supplementary to the act, entitled an act for amicably settling the limits of the state of Georgia, and authorising the establishment of a government for the Mississippi territory—which was read a first and second time, and committed to a Committee of the whole House.
On motion of Mr. A. Fossler, the House came to the following resolution, viz: Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any and if any, what alterations ought to be made in the act passed the present session, entitled "an act providing for the second census of the inhabitants of the United States," and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Brace presented a petition of Mary Wooster, widow of the late Major General Wooster, which was read, and referred to the Committee of Claims. Mr. D. Fossler, from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of Mrs. Coombes, who prayed for a pension—whether the petitioner could or could not have substantiated a claim for a pension heretofore, the committee report that it would not be expedient for Congress to suspend the laws for the admission of it at this time, and that the petition ought not to be granted.
In this report the house concurred. Mr. Cooper from the select committee to whom was referred a resolution relative to the purchase of the copper bed on Lake Superior—reported a resolution authorising the President of the United States, to appoint an agent for that purpose, and to report a statement of the facts to this House through the medium of the President—which was referred to a committee of the whole house. The resolution laid on the table by Mr. Jones, on Friday last relative to the act respecting intercourse with the Indian tribes, was taken into consideration, and agreed to by the House, and a committee appointed to bring in a bill.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis their secretary, informing the house that the Senate have passed the bill intituled "an act to alter the times of holding the district court in North Carolina" that they have rejected the bill intituled "an act to expend the time of payment of bonds given for duties of imports in certain cases," that they insist on their amendment disagreed to by this house to the bill intituled "an act to allow a drawback of duties on goods exported to New Orleans, and therein to amend the act intituled "an act regulating the collection of duties on imports and tonnage; and that they request a conference, and have appointed managers for that purpose on their part. The House went into committee of the whole on the bill to enable the President of the United States to borrow money for the public service—Mr. Parker in the chair—when a long debate took place between Messrs. Gallatin, Harper and Griswold, relative to the finances of the country, after which Mr. Nicholas moved to strike out the amount of the loan, viz. 3,500,000 dollars, and Mr. Gallatin entered into a very lengthy investigation of the subject, and was followed by Mr. Griswold. Mr. Nicholas
then rose and after declaring it to be his intention to vote against the bill, withdrew his motion, and the committee rose and reported the bill without amendment, and the house adjourned.
NEW-YORK, March 15.
The arrival of the ship Supply from Liverpool, has put us in possession of a Dublin paper of December 31, (several days later than by the Dublin Packet.) To gratify the public curiosity, we hasten to give the outlines of the Intelligence.
FRANCE.
THE SUPREME CONSUL has all power of appointment to posts in the army and navy—of Ambassadors and Ministers of State—of Justice. He is commander in chief of the armies, and has the initiation of ALL LAWS. His term of office is ten years, and is constantly re-eligible.
THE CONSERVATORY BODY is composed of sixty members—who have been appointed by the Consuls and the two commissions from the Legislative Bodies of the old government—They hold their office for LIFE, have power of filling up vacancies—but have no decisive or efficient influence—it extending only to determining the constitutionality of laws.
THE TRIBUNATE chosen after a long process of filtration from the people—receives all laws, from the first Consul, discusses them publicly—afterwards three from their body go to the
LEGISLATIVE BODY, where these three deputies meet three more from the executive or chief consul, who explain the nature of the laws proposed. After this elucidation they retire, and the Legislative Body without debate, make their determination in secret.
Such are the outlines of this famous Constitution. Upon the first view of it there appears to be a great regret and reluctance on the part of the framers, at being forced to let the people have any share in the government. The Constitution is a compound of aristocracy and democracy; much of the former, little of the latter—it is also not without an infusion of monarchy.
It is democratic, in as much as it is not founded in property; as the body of persons eligible to the great national officers are drawn, by the process of filtration, from the great mass of the people; It is also democratic, inasmuch as it explodes the idea of arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, and establishes the trial by jury.
It is aristocratic, because the people has no direct influence; because they do not immediately appoint their representatives; because the government has the initiation of the laws; because the decision upon those laws is to be in secret; and because there is to be a body of men elected for life.
It is monarchical, because the chief power of the State is, in fact, entrusted to one man who is not responsible. The people of France were allowed only 3 days to give their opinion on this constitution. It has been very universally accepted to. How long it will last it would be folly to predict. It is certainly very energetic. But as long as the supreme executive has the initiation or origination of all laws, the idea of France being a free representative government is ridiculous in the extreme.
THE AMERICAN ENVOYS have arrived at Lisbon, and are proceeding to Paris.
The Archduke on the Rhine has taken Mannheim, and forced the French to retire. In Italy also the Austrians are successful. The important fortress of Coni has at length capitulated and the French have fallen back as far as Nice.
Peace seems yet at a distance.

A SEASONABLE ARTICLE. JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, 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 medicine's 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 balsams, 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 dilodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes 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 reverse 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 disorder 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 attested 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, Obsolete Gleets, Fluor Albus in women, &c. Hamilton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Ich Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops which had never failed effecting a cure, Dr. Hahn's Antibilious Pill, ditto Corn Plaster, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Gowland'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. Feb. 25, gow 2awtf.
