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 un- dertaking to present to the public eye propo- sals for a new Gazette, when so many are al- ready 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 en- gines of mischief or the implements of usefulness—they disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thousands; and although it may be pre- sumptuous 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 at- tainment of knowledge as well as to the com- munication of news—to enlighten the under- standing—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 por- tions as may gratify taste and induce improve- ment; To unfold and enforce found and just views of government; To aid the great interests of piety and morality. To prevent occasional— Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agri- culture and domestic economy; Proceedings of the General and State Legisla- tures; 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 per- sonages; Statistical tables; Meteorological observations; Appointments; Marriages, Births, Deaths. With these proposals the subscriber confident- ly submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his na- tive 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 pa- triotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and nation- al 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 subscri- bers—To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions. III. The price will be Eight Dollars per an- num to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and direct- ing their papers. IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the ex- piration 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 67 cents for the first, and 33 cents for every addi- tional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion. ZACHARIAH POULSON, jun. March 8, 1800.

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 enquirers' 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-roads 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 fifty 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, Accomptant, Bank of North America. POSTSCRIPT.

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 house cannot appear improper.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. Richard Alsop, Esq. one of the few genuine poets of America, has published in Connecticut a Poem to the memory of Washington. It is not yet received, but from the classical attainments, delicate taste, and inventive powers of the author, we may expect to peruse a correct and tuneful poem, Skilled in the "tongue of Tuscany" and with a fancy, glowing from the perusal of the feasts of Orlando, and those "old romances" which a MILTON was wont to devour, Mr. A. cannot fail to interest the passions and sooth the ear of every critic. To the state of Connecticut men look for much of the true and the beautiful. Fortunately for the quiet and "stability of the times, it is not yet wearied of lending to the commonweal her sober and steadfast politicians. Fortunately for the interests of learning she abounds with men of genius and various literature. This real and well ordered little republic neither was, nor is, nor ever can be a rebel. Happily almost wholly exempt from philosophers, political projectors, and Gallic merry Andrews; and abounding with a discerning, studious, quiet and moral people, the ark of government and the temple of wisdom and the muses there find their best and surest foundations. She produces statesmen of consistency, they act and we repose. She produces poets of invention, they sing and we wake.—Mr. William Carlton, of Salem, Massachusetts, well known for many years as the industrious, candid and intelligent proprietor and conductor of "The Salem Gazette," proposes reviving that correct and useful paper, and has accordingly issued a Prospectus, whose plan, if realized, will render Mr. Carlton's paper one of the best in the United States. One of the prominent excellencies of the former Salem Gazette was a summary of politics and literature, written by no ordinary hand, in a style infinitely superior to the usual meagre manner of our news papers, and replete with an agreeable variety of interesting intelligence, expressed with great terseness, force and vivacity. It is believed that it was the production of the Rev. Mr. Bentley, a learned clergyman, and polite scholar. If this gentleman can be engaged to resume this task, we shall have at least one paper from that quarter, edited with uniform correctness and a respect for the canons of criticism. A Journal, conducted by Mr. Carlton and assisted by a liberal scholar will not exhibit a political rainbow, a Joseph's coat of many colors, nor try tricks with the English language, and presumptuously establish a fantastic coinage of expression.—We understand that the industrious and amiable Mr. C. B. Brown of New York, has ready for the press, several romances of an interesting nature. It is to be regretted that this gentleman, who appears to possess many of the qualifications of a moral painter, does not sometimes turn his attention from fictitious to legitimate history. As an essayist his "strong and deep incision pen," faithful to the cause of virtue, would forcibly describe the manners, and the levities of the age. As a novelist, he sometimes enfeebles the courageous, and sometime startles the timid. He is too prone to conduct his mournful reader into German labyrinths, amid thick gloom, and moral darkness "that might be felt" were it not sometimes corruscated by a partial ray of illumination. "Brief as the lightning in the collied night." It is said too that he has some belief in the system of the author of Political Justice, and that the memory of the wanton Woolstonecraft is not odious to a young and fanciful writer. His little bark of literature is finely decorated and a swift sailer. It is wished that prosperous gales will inflate its swelling sails and that it might never strike upon the sands of Godwin.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. "Quos Deus vult perdere, prius demantat." Sir, Whence comes it indeed it would be a curious moral of speculation for the new philosophy, that Pennsylvania so much famed (with what justice I will not pretend to say) for her police, her industry and wealth, should have always been so miserably rent with dissensions and party feuds? Does not her whole history present one continued scene of turbulence and discontent with the ruling power? Her peaceable and humane Founder came over with a disposition to grant and he did grant privileges upon the most liberal scale. This state of things did not long continue; other concessions and still other in succession were urged and granted to as little satisfaction; till at length the aged Patriarch, injured in his private fortunes, his frame and faculties worn down with vexation and disappointment, expired a martyr to his rising colony. The guardians of his minor children, whose bitter inheritance he made it—those children when they came to govern, "so clear in their great office," were they not a continual Butt for the shafts of envy and opposition?
Has the temper of the State been bettered by revolution?—indeed so little varying and so little likely to be satisfied, that I am often reminded of one of the fables of the fage Elop. It is familiar to every body, but to make out my story, let me here insert it. "The Commonwealth of Frogs, a discontented variable race, weary of liberty, and fond of change, petitioned Jupiter to grant them a king. The good natured Deity, in to indulge this their request, with as little mischief as possible, threw them down a log. At first they regarded their new monarch with great reverence, and kept from him at a most respectful distance; but perceiving his tame and peaceable disposition, they by degrees ventured to approach him with more familiarity, till at length they conceived for him the utmost contempt. In this disposition they renewed their request to Jupiter, and increased him to bestow upon them another king. The thunderer in his wrath sent them a Crane, who no sooner took possession of his new dominions, than he began to devour his subjects in a most capricious and tyrannical manner. They were now far more dissatisfied than before; when applying to Jupiter a third time, they were dismissed with this reproof, that the evil they complained of they had imprudently brought upon themselves; and that they had no other remedy now but to submit to it with patience."
Pennsylvania, to be sure, enjoys a peculiar favor—the actual choice and nomination of a chief ruler, and every nine years her people are suffered to exercise these rights, yet strange to tell, they once made choice of a log—and a harmless quiet log he would have remained, but for a vile foreign agitator that leapt into the pond. Still not content, always croaking, and like the frogs in the fable grown too familiar with king log, they cast their eyes upon one with some different qualifications you may suppose: and, oh blind infatuation! the sagacious frogs of Pennsylvania chose a very Crane to govern them. Most certainly ye are not now satisfied—perverse generation!—But I say be quiet, be patient—no revivings, be dutiful. Whenever his honor may fly of rotation; "let political distrust and party feud be subdued for the honor of the State"—I am for suffering the voracious Crane to feed until gorged—Those who are left may enjoy some repose. ESOP.
[We copy the following from the Aurora]
From a late Halifax Paper. As the democratic newspapers throughout the United States of America, generally contain lists of what Democrats (in the decent language of liberty and equality) style British Ipoliations, and as I owe some left-handed compliments, to those enlightened citizens, I thought I could not better discharge that part of my debt than by communicating to them, through the channel of your newspaper, some observations on the case of the ship Polly and cargo, lately condemned in the Court of Vice Admiralty here. As I know these virtuous lovers of liberty, delight in mischief, it will be very pleasing to them to add this case to their catalogue, as it will furnish, what in the republican dialect, will be called an the glaring instance of British piracy. Besides, it will be peculiarly grateful to them, as it will furnish a strong proof that Jacobin morality gains ground fast in the U. States, and will afford a favorable prospect, that the erroneous opinions our foolish ancestors entertained of the sacred obligations of an oath, give way fast, to the admirable philosophy of modern republicans; it will also help to keep up the spirits of the fraternity, during the present deranged state of affairs; for it will be considered a great point gained, when they can destroy the credit which is due to public papers; for those gritty, love established governments, as the Devil in old times was said to love holy water.—The ship Polly was laden with cocoa, indigo, cotton, coffee, and sugar, and by her papers, both vessel and cargo appeared to be wholly owned by Messrs. Mann and Foltz, merchants at Charleston, S. Carolina. The papers stated her voyage when captured, to be from Charleston to Cadiz. She was brought into this port by his majesty's ships of war, the Hinde and Termagant. Her papers, and the proofs of her neutrality were prepared apparently with great care, and seemed full and complete. She had 18, a bill of lading, signed by Joseph Taggart the master, and by Mann and Foltz as the shippers of the car-
go, at Charleston, for their account and risk, consigned to John White Esq. at Cadiz, no freight to be paid, being the owners property. 3d, a manifest and clearance, for the whole cargo, under the seals and signature, of the officers of the customs for the port of Charleston by which it appeared that the whole of this cargo was shipped in August last at Charleston, and was cleared out for Cadiz. 4th, an affidavit made by Mr. Foltz in the strongest terms, who swears that the whole of this cargo actually belonged to him and Mr. Mann, his partner, merchants and citizens of the United States, and that no other person whatsoever had any interest therein, directly or indirectly. This affidavit is made before a Notary Public at Charleston, of the name of John Mitchell, who certifies the same under his seal, with the usual formality, and also certifies the respectability and citizenship of Mann and Foltz; and for fear there should be any doubt of the authenticity of this paper, certificates from the British and Spanish consuls, are annexed to establish the official situation of Mr. Mitchell, (which leads me to express a strong wish that his Majesty's consuls, will be in future a little more cautious, how they affix the arms of Great Britain to such trumpery.) 5th a Role of Equipage 6th Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of the United States, signed by the President, and counter-signed by the Secretary of State, recommending this vessel to the protection of all the nations on earth, she being wholly owned by the subjects of the United States of America, to which is annexed an affidavit made by Taggart the master who swears, that no subject of the belligerent powers has any interest in this vessel, directly, or indirectly. 7th a letter of instructions to the masters, signed Mann and Foltz, who order him to deliver this cargo to White at Cadiz, who had orders to remit the proceeds to London, and they direct him, either to return with freight, or a cargo of salt, to Charleston. Lastly, an invoice and letter from Mann and Foltz, to White, advising him of their having shipped this cargo to his address, and request him to remit the proceeds for their account, to Mr. John Shoulbred, of London.
This vessel sailed from Cadiz last December, as an American vessel commanded by one Howland; Noili, who was on board, passed as a passenger, and brought in her to Charleston, a cargo of wine, brandy, vinegar, fruit, and dry goods; on his arrival there, he discharged Howland, and appointed Taggart, who had been the mate to be master, and appointed his brother mate.—Without discharging this cargo at Charleston, to which was registered in the Custom House at Cadiz, (as appears by the papers found on board) as the property of Spaniards, to be delivered at La Guira; they procured American papers, to show that the cargo, being the property of American citizens was shipped for Laguire at Charleston, on board the American ship Polly, both vessel and cargo the property of American citizens, dwelling at Charleston.—Under cover of these papers they arrived at Laguire, where Noili disposed of the cargo agreeably to its original destination, and loaded the present cargo, principally for the account of the house of Beine, at Cadiz. At Laguire, he and Taggart formed a set of papers, to show that Taggart had purchased this cargo, with the proceeds of the outward cargo, owned by Mann and Foltz, and that he had shipped it for their account and risk to be delivered to them at Charleston. With these papers the vessel sailed for Laguire, actually bound to Cadiz, but to touch at Charleston, for the express purpose of procuring American papers, as fully appeared by the papers found concealed. Noili staid at Laguire, and he mentions, in one of his letters, his fear that if the English found him on board, it might condemn the whole. The vessel arrived safe at Charleston—the master, having with his false paper deceived the officers of a British frigate, by whom he was examined during this passage. At Charleston he shipped a new crew, and having procured American papers of all kinds, without landing the cargo, he failed for Charleston.
The master, and his brother the mate, whose name is Samuel Taggart, were examined on oath; they call themselves citizens of Rhode-Island, and confirmed the account given of this vessel and cargo by her papers and declared that no papers of any kind whatever had been destroyed or concealed, in any shape. The crew having been shipped at Charleston, after this ship was ready for sea, could give no account about her.—The Cook, unfortunately for the concerned, had not been converted from the Christian to the Jacobin religion, and foolish enough to believe that he was bound to tell the truth, when examined on oath, and the stupid silly fellow told, how Samuel Taggart the mate, after the vessel was brought too by the ships of war, ordered him to burn a quantity of papers, which from the appearance, he supposed to be the log book; that he burned the whole in the mate's presence. The master claimed this vessel and cargo for Mann and Foltz, and after the cause had been considerably investigated, several letters and papers were found concealed, between the lining of the cabin and the stern post of the ship, which gave the complete history of the ship and cargo, and fully proved, that the whole of the papers and affidavits before mentioned, were a composition of shameful falsehoods fabricated by persons calling themselves American citizens, for the purpose of deceiving the British nation, and prevent its making prize of the property of its enemies. What they were to receive for their services, is best known to themselves, though I believe, from the best information I can obtain, that the market was overstocked with the con-

sciences of American neutrals, and that in the present enlightened century, they fell under a very low rate. It was fully ascertained by these letters and papers, that this vessel and cargo, belonged to, and was under the sole management of a Spaniard, named Guillaume Noll. That the whole of the cargo was put on board this vessel, at La Guaira, under his sole direction and management; the register from the Spanish custom-house clearly showed the whole to be the property of Spanish merchants and from it and other papers it fully appeared that Mann and Foltz did not own one shilling worth of the property, unless they could pretend to own some cocoa and indigo, to the value of four thousand dollars, which Noll, directs his correspondent to deliver to their order at Cadiz, free of freight, or commissions, as he hoped they would charge no commissions for the services at Charleston.
After this statement, it is scarcely necessary that I should say the un-judge, as this virtuous race of neutrals, are pleased to style the Judge of a British Court of Admiralty) condemned both vessel and cargo, and I need not tell you how glad I am, that the next proceeds, will in a few days, be distributed amongst some of those brave men who are the defenders of the civilized world. But I cannot conclude, without observing, that if this case should come to the knowledge of the American Government, and it neglect to procure those papers and decorate the pillory with them and the ears of the good citizens who fabricate them, I feel little doubt in my opinion, that feeble philo-sophic Government, will soon pass away like an empty shadow; and it will remain with the people who profess the christian religion, to unite in forming a strong, and energetic government, sufficiently powerful to erase from the face of the earth, a set of vile miscreants who deny the existence of God, and comfort their doubting converts with the hope, that even if they should find death to be or eternal sleep; yet, that it would require only one grand revolutionary movement, to republicize the internal regions, and establish a Democracy in Hell.

NEW-YORK, March 12. By the Fair Trader, from N. Providence, we have received Bahama Gazettes to the 4th ult.—An arrival there from Glasgow had brought foreign news to the 7th December only, of course nothing new. The only articles, of a nature interesting to America, are contained in three proclamations from General Bowles, the Indian chief. The first of these, relative to the agents appointed under the treaty between the United States and Spain, to draw the boundary line, has already appeared in the Mercantile Advertiser; the second and third are in the following terms. [It may be necessary to remark that these proclamations are not given in the Bahama Gazette as articles of intelligence, but as official advertisements.]

Such men as he be never at heart's ease, When they behold a greater than them selves, And therefore are they very dangerous. (To be continued.)

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WEDNESDAY, March 12.
The bill entitled "An act to alter and establish sundry post-roads," was read a third time and passed.
The house went into committee of the whole on the bill for the government of the marine corps while on shore—Mr. Edmond in the chair; after making sundry amendments, the committee rose, and reported their agreement to the bill as amended.
Upon the question to agree with the committee in striking out a part of the bill declaring that an officer convicted of an offence by any court of law, shall be ipso facto cashiered—a long debate arose, and was decided in the affirmative. Yeas 47—Nays 44. Adjourned.
From the York Recorder.
COMMUNICATION. A friend of mine, a Captain of an American vessel, gave me the following account of one of his Passengers, which will serve as a specimen of FRENCH HUMANITY.
"On my passage from Philadelphia to France in the year 1797, a conversation took place between myself and a Passenger in my ship—The subject was the probability of a Peace taking place and a permanent Government being established on true Republican Principles—I observed that the Army in general was not very well informed with respect to what might be considered the real interests of the country, and I thought it would be a difficult task, to dispel a powerful and virtuous army without their receiving a compensation for their services, which I conceived the exhausted Finances of the Republic were not equal to."
Monsieur replied—"My dear Friend there is nothing so easy in the World!—Cannont de Nation send dem to de Vast Indies, vere de vill all die vid de yellow fever, which I tink will be de most effectual method of getting clear of men who have no use for."
The same Captain was once captured by the French and in a letter to his friend he gave the following description of the Judge who was to try his vessel and cargo.
"The Judge before whom my trial will take place, is a little old looking fellow, with bandy legs not thicker than pike thanks with feet a yard long, in the centre of which the legs (if they may be so called) were placed, his head uncommonly large and decorated with what I would have called a greasy red night cap, but by the Islanders termed the Bonnette rouge —on the front of the head a couple of small holes seemed to be perforated, and a small black bead fixed in each by way of eyes, over which, like two umbrellas, were suspended two large shagged red, bushy bunches of hair, that served for eye brows, with a little owl looking face, having a fat from tuita from whence projected—Oh father of the Shandy's!—such a nose as my eyes never beheld. It was the segment of a circle, painted red and yellow and it could assume a straight direction would at least measure the length of a modern tippy—He had a most plentiful lack or paunch and such as he had grumbled most da-ly, he was so ill looking and bad favored a fellow, that he appeared to me as though he had never enjoyed a comfortable meal in his life—in short he seemed to have lived all his day upon Bilge Water and Ballast Stone."
From late London Papers.
THE FRENCH ARMIES.
As we are often blamed for the manner in which we find it our duty to speak of the French, and of their conduct, we frequently justify ourselves by their own mutual recitations and confessions.
Barras lately gave testimony in our favor respecting the calumnies which we were accused of throwing out on his late administration. Lament, in the council of five hundred, acknowledges how many millions he has pillaged in the name of foreign contributions, and boasts of the rapidity of his execution.
The following Extract of a letter from a republican officer in the army of Italy, shall depose to the truth of our allegations, respecting the conduct of the troops. It is extracted from the Monitor .
"Were it necessary for me to describe all that I have seen, and to give details of all that I know, I should possess a degree of firmness, courage, and patience far beyond my powers. The people are in a state of insurrection in every place through which the civil commissions pass; and although I have been four times on the point of falling a victim to their fury, I cannot consistently blame their conduct, since they have been robbed even of the straw on which they lay. At the moment of my writing this letter, the greatest part of Piedmont has risen against the French Robbers ; for it is by this name we are called. It will be impossible for you to be surprised at this fact, when I acquaint you, that from the pretended revolution of this country to the present moment (not exceeding 3 or 4 months) we have plundered the inhabitants of 10 millions of specie, and 15 millions of paper money, besides the diamonds, &c. &c. of the Crown. Can you imagine that such exactions are calculated to make the inhabitants favorable to our cause? No! the people form their opinion of us in conformity to our conduct, and despite us as much as we are despicable. They hold us in horror and execration."

Eighty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New-town, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 23d January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto female child, about two years old, named Arianna. 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—she 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 an house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passes, 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 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, stoops in his shoulders when he walks, a fat on his head very perceptible—he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years old, her name 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, tenacious 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, & 20 do. 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. JOHN QUIMBY. March 3. w&f&4w.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A SOVEREIGN REMEDY
For Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Affluxes, 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 luscious medicines joined with strong opiates (or sleepy drugs) relieve for the present, but deceive the patient; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breath 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, Obstinate Gleet, Fluor Albus in women, &c.

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 inconspicuousness 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.

For Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints,
Gout in the Stomach, Melancholy, Seminal Weakness, loss of Appetite, Bilious Disorders, Inward Weakness, Indigestion, Obstinate Gleet, Juvenile Indiscretions and Premature Old Age, and every other symptom of extreme debility, which are the consequences of a Dissipated Life—excess of Pleasure or Grief—Heat or change of Climate—Immoderate use of Tea, Spirituous Liquors, or any Intemperance—Bad Lymings in Discharges incident to Young Girls and Women at a certain period of life—
The Cordial Restorative Balsam
Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disorders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave.
This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak female constitutions, as well as to phlegmatic habits in general; it acts powerfully as a nerve, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system! corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs;—Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate seminal gleet in men, and corresponding weakness in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, surely and honourably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the unhappy.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours are afflicted with weakness and infirmities; in which cases it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weakened organs, and the whole constitution.
Those, who in advanced life, feel the consequences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this find themselves restored to health and strength, and all the melancholy symptoms removed; it is the general effects of such causes.
For whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudence or inattention in the earliest part of life, or is sinking under the advance of years, a few doses of this medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning health and strength, by giving tone to the muscular system, and organs of digestion, and by renovating the whole constitution.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength and spirits, in place of flitude and debility; and to the aged and infirm, it will afford wonderful great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to yield the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely prolong the close of life beyond its narrow span, this Restorative is capable of effecting that grand desideratum!
Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this Restorative.
Old coughs soon relieved and speedily cured.
Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will ere long meet the happiest change; the chill watery fluid become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, sinew and healthful.
It will no doubt be acceptable to the reader, to see accounts of some of the remarkable cures and cures which have been performed by this truly invaluable medicine, in the disorders for which it was invented; he has therefore selected a few of such cases as have come within his own immediate knowledge, which are published and may be had (gratis) at any of the places where the medicine is sold.
Prepared (only) by the Inventor and sole Proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, 137, Front Street, near the Fly market, New-York—and sold by Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia.
