GENERAL MOREAU.
The interest which the life of General Moreau has always excited in the breast of every lover of bravery and virtue, has certainly received considerable increase among the citizens of this country, since it has been understood that he received permission to leave France, and, if he has escaped from the fangs of the monsters who sought his life, that he may probably in a short time, become our fellow-citizen. This circumstance alone gives a double value, in our contemplation, to every particular connected with, or illustrative of, his late situation.
It is seldom that the visits from French patriots have been subjects of congratulation to any country. If America, as some presume to say, has any reason to felicitate herself on the possible arrival of General Moreau, it is because she can afford him a protection against that vice, that ambition, that tyranny, to which his real virtues, and real patriotism, were dangerous, and which, therefore, pursued him with an eager malice. When in their power he was only preserved by these fears, which have ever, happily, attended the steps and influenced the acts of usurpers.
That the United States can afford an asylum to this general, perhaps the only one who passed through the French revolution untainted by crimes; whose only view was his country's liberty and happiness; ought to be a subject of exultation and happiness to their citizens. That he comes here innocent of the only charges that have ever attempted to cloud his honor, is, and ought to be rejoiced in.
Did a doubt remain on the subject of his innocence, the paper which we are now about to submit to the public must completely remove that doubt from the mind of every one who will peruse it attentively.
Such a doubt, we are convinced, does not exist; here there is none of that interest which requires that it should be kept alive. The transactions of his public life are not altogether unknown to the people of America, and particularly to that portion who have watched him, with all the eagerness that the great events in which he took a part were capable of inspiring. To such it is well known that, after pursuing an undeviating course of glory, less splendid than that of Bonaparte only because it was no rendered so conspicuous by crime, that he retired to the station of a private citizen unenriched either by the spoils of his enemies or his friends. His only motive covertly , he felt plunder and peculation unworthy of such a motive, and disdained to stoop to them.
His virtues were, therefore, doubly terrible to the usurper of those rights, which he had fought to place beyond the power of any assailant. One bold attempt had been made, and it succeeded. Moreau deemed some change in the government of the country necessary, and though he did not think it consistent with his own principles to be the means, he did not oppose the attainment of the object through the exertions of another. The power of the first consul being rendered more stable, another effort was made to secure it to himself for life, and, advantage being taken of a moment of enthusiasm, it was effected. Still Moreau, thinking there was but a shade of variation, or, perhaps, seeing that at such a time opposition would but expose himself, and not prevent the encroachments upon that liberty which he loved, was acquiescent in his actions, although he was too candid to disguise his disapprobation of the measure.
One degree of power successfully acquired in opposition to law, and in contempt of the rights of others, but stimulates to further attempts of the same nature. It is not therefore surprising that, possessing so much, Bonaparte should still desire more. There is but one limit to ambition; that is when it has nothing more to acquire. Fortunate in accomplishing his purposes beyond what could at any time have been his expectations; possessing a power every way incompatible with the principles upon which the French revolution had been predicated, and directly contradicting all his own professions; but one step removed from the highest authority acknowledged; yet the ambition of Bonaparte could not be satiated until that authority should be attained.
It was an attempt full of hazard; but the danger that threatened it could only proceed from virtue. The many declarations of the French against royalty, under any form, stared him in the face in ten thousand shapes; but these were only words and could easily be erased. That veteran army which had so repeatedly, on the field of battle, sworn eternal hatred to monarchy, still existed. The general who had so of-
ten conducted that army to victory, and saved it from destruction, still lived; lived in the hearts of the soldiers; surrounded by all the splendor of his former actions, untarnished by even an ambitious thought, or a single action unworthy of the patriot. He had reluctantly submitted to former usurpations; the present would perhaps exhaust his patience, and rouse all his civic virtues. His name was terrible to the consul; it was adored by the army and people. Moreau, must, therefore, either be gained over, or deprived of the power of opposition.
The latter course only remained. He was not to be corrupted, but he was mortal. Even in this country we are not ignorant of what malice and defamation will attempt, against the purest reputation, when urged by ambition. For a considerable time the ministerial prints in France were in the habit of uttering hints and suspicions concerning Moreau, till at last the public mind became prepared for something; and, the other schemes being matured, those inuendos changed their shape, and assumed the positive character of accusations. The friend of his country was arrested; the Senatus-Consultum was promulgated. Bonaparte was declared Emperor; and Moreau was arraigned as a criminal.
It is worthy of remark that general Moreau was not brought to trial until the usurpation had been completed, and Bonaparte had been fixed on the high pinnacle to which his guilty wishes had long pointed. It is not less worthy of notice, that, during the time the change of government was in agitation, so much was his influence dreaded, that all communication with him was denied, lest his opinions might, by some means or other, get abroad. That, in the mean time, every method which ingenuity could devise, was employed to blacken his reputation; particularly with the army, where those very officers who had so often been led to conquest, and preserved from ruin, by the resources of his genius, scrupled not to pronounce him guilty of the highest crimes recognized by the laws of any country. Such means were requisite to deprive him of the affections of his soldiers, by representing him as unworthy of them. They succeeded for the moment; but the delusion either is, or must soon be, dissipated.
The issue of his trial certainly does not justify the slanders uttered against him. Had any pretext been found Moreau would have shared the fate of Georges. His innocence was manifest; but the danger of his being at liberty had not passed over; and though they dare not proceed so far as to inflict public death, he was in confinement, and it was easy to decree that he should remain there.
What could not be publicly done, might, however, be done in private. And it is to be feared that Moreau has fallen a victim to his own virtues, and the dread in which they are held by his enemies. He was allowed, as we have been told, to retire to the U. States. This was a sudden resolution of the tyrant, so totally unexpected by the general, that it came to his knowledge just after he had fitted for his accommodation the apartments assigned him in the temple. How was he permitted to retire? Not as others in similar circumstances. He was taken from the temple at the dead hour of night, accompanied by one officer (of the Legion of Honour we presume) and one soldier of the gens d'armes: since then he has not, as it is said, been heard of in France; and such as dare speak, do not hesitate to express their conviction of his fate; and to execrate the modern Dionysius, who is its author.
If, however, he still exist, he may come to this country. By the publication of the following memoir we wish to show his innocence to those amongst whom he is to live. If he is no more, when we reflect on the injustice of his persecution, we may find ourselves still more intimately acquainted with the character of that man who is now the bugbear of the world; and to gratify whose criminal ambition even Moreau must perish.
The work we publish is signed by the three advocates of Moreau, when before the tribunal. Its circulation was so rapid and so extensive that it was found necessary by the government to arrest it. This was not done however before 30,000 copies of it had gone abroad. One of them has reached us; and we perform a portion of our duty by giving it to the publick.
MEMOIR, IN JUSTIFICATION OF GENERAL MOREAU.
Translated from the French, by G. L. Gray.
On the first knowledge of the arrest of General Moreau, and of the motives of
that arrest, every mind was struck with profound consternation.
They had cause for being so. He was either guilty, or he was innocent.
Was he guilty? What! Moreau! the modest soldier, who never aspired but at the head of armies, never seemed forward, but in the field of battle! in all other circumstances distinguished from his fellow citizens only by the simplicity of his manners! Moreau! who had never been thought to possess a wish for personal elevation, who never even desired to imagine that his successes could open for him a road to power; not even at those epochs when France, harassed by the oscillations of weak governments, would have regarded the ambition of Moreau as its greatest blessing! This man, who, in the midst of his victories, was heard only to utter one wish, that by speedily securing the independence of his country, he might be restored to that privacy, whose delights, with those of glory, divided his heart, and were his only passions! What! could that man so remarkable for his moderation, who was a hero even amongst heroes, could he descend to become a traitor to that cause, and a conspirer against that government, which he had so long supported, so often defended? The most brilliant and best established virtue is then become no more than a long and dastardly hypocrisy, if Moreau can be perfidious.
Was he innocent? What then must we think of that government, till then so worthy of our confidence and love, which, departing at once from the respect which it professed for individual liberty, threw ignominious chains upon one of its greatest warriors: recompensed by criminal accusations, a general, rendered sacred by the many eminent services which he has performed, by the many victories which he has gained, by the many civic crowns due to him for the preservation of entire armies, and for the vast territories which he has annexed to the French Empire. What guarantee will vulgar citizens have against oppression, if one of the most illustrious... but we stop. Such an idea would be too alarming. We must endeavour to repel it—but, with it, let us also banish the afflicting idea, that General Moreau could ever stain his laurels!
Moreau has not betrayed his glory—he is innocent.
Nor has the government belied its justice—there was cause of alarm.
Moreau, in his prison, was the same as in the midst of armies, the true friend of his country; seeing only her, and always incapable of sacrificing his respect for the public order, to any regard for his personal safety.
Just towards himself, he has not neglected his own defence. Just towards the government that prosecuted him, he has openly acknowledged, that the measures of which he had become the object, were occasioned by suspicions which it was necessary should be destroyed.
They either are, or ought to be, already dissipated. The circumstances connected with his case, are now to be given, with simplicity, to the public. We demand no indulgence for him; we ask for ourselves, only that attention which we can lay claim to by so many titles.
For four months general Moreau has been denounced, by the public reports of the Grand Judge, by placards printed and affixed to public places, by the orders of generals to their armies, and by addresses from all the public authorities, and from a great number of military corps.
Doubtless all these productions of zeal, though perhaps a little irregular, attest a great and laudable attachment to the government. But they don't prove and cannot be admitted to prove any thing more. Above all they prove nothing against the accused. A person accused is not to be judged by generals: their condition itself declares against the idea that that they are to direct criminal proceedings. He is not to be judged by the ministers, nor by the placards, of the government; there would then no longer be an independent judiciary. Nor is he to be judged by addresses, vain echoes of parole, charges of guilt, and whose signers, by their distance from the scene, and by their absolute defect of investigating the circumstances, or of examining the evidences, of the fact: these addresses evince the natural horror which their authors in common with all others, have conceived for all crimes similar to that alleged; but they do not announce, on the individual facts, a conviction, to form which all the necessary elements are wanting.
Nevertheless, these orders, these placards, these reports, these addresses all exist. They are in every journal, on every wall, in every hand. During four months

France has resounded with them. During four months every voice that was heard, was heard against Moreau; not one has been heard in his favor, except a solitary cry from that of his generous brother. But he all this time in prison, held in the most rigorous seclusion, denied all communication with others, even refused the presence of his own family, and without one defender, was compelled to be silent while universally accused. He was not permitted to dissipate prejudices in their birth, and before they should take root in the public mind. He was not allowed to trace the charges against him singly, step, by step, and before they had assembled into a mass. He was not at liberty to contradict the falsehoods rumored against him, before they could establish themselves in some credulous imaginations; to correct malignant and erroneous interpretations of his actions, which it is always more easy to publish than to retract; to remove wrong impressions, for which self-love often secretly contends against conviction; in short to explain those parts of his conduct which might have given value to those rash judgments, which are with difficulty banished from the mind when once entertained by it. In a word all have had a power of accusing Moreau; none until this day has had the means of defending him. Such we know is the consequence of all criminal proceedings; but that does not make the evil as applicable to him, any thing less. For who can be ignorant of the ravages which this concert of censuring voices may make in any reputation; particularly in these times of political tempests, when so many people have deserted their professions and their duties that all virtues have naturally, become objects of suspicion.
It is then no more than justice to hear with a peculiar attention, the defence of general Moreau. He asks to be heard not only in the name of his services, but in the name of his innocence. He asks it under the influence of a consideration of importance to society, no less than to the interests of each of its members. The example of general Moreau proves but too well one great truth: that amongst those whom providence has condemned to live in an heroic, a brilliant but a terrible age, when the human species as if fatigued by repose delivers itself at once to universal disorders—when the face of the earth is totally changed; when society is suddenly reversed; when empires are in a manner confounded; when new thrones are erected as easily as old ones are overthrown; when those who were yesterday surrounded by splendor, to day languish in obscurity and wretchedness; when by the caprices of fortune, the most brilliant destinies, in the glance of an eye, becomes so forlorn and miserable as to be objects of compassion even to the most mortal enemy; that in such times there is no man can one day assure himself that on the next he may not be on the list of the accused, and be arraigned as a traitor.
Let each, then, turn his contemplation upon himself; let him banish, by a just exertion of egotism, every prejudice which might have arisen in his mind during the forced silence of the accused; let him forget every thing which has deviated from the true path of justice; or rather let him remember all, that he may be provided with strength to combat the impressions which might have been created by such irregular means. Let him come to the defence unprejudiced, by the accusation; and let him consider it with that respect for presumptive innocence, with that holy impartiality, which, one day or other, after having performed it as a duty to his fellow-citizen, he may be happy to find extended to himself.
(To be continued.)
NEW YORK, September 28.
In the brig Rose, capt. Tonkin arrived yesterday from Cadiz, came passenger Captain Dulton. He is the bearer of very important dispatches to government, from Mr. Pinckney, our Minister at Spain. Immediately on his landing in town, he proceeded express to the seat of government.
Capt. Dulton informs us, that the nature of the demands of Spain were such, as never could be acceded to by our government. Mr. Pinckney was to leave Madrid for this country about the 20th of August, without farther intercourse with the Court of Madrid.
The following is the result of the details and various proofs collected by citizen Biot, a member of the National Institute, who was sent into the department of Oise, by order of the Minister of the interior, to ascertain the effect
of a meteor observed at Aigle, on the 24th of Floreal, (April 26) year 11, as copied from his relation of the journey, printed by order of the Institute: It is certain that in the neighbourhood of Aigle, on Tuesday, the 6th of Floreal, year 11, towards one o'clock at noon, a violent explosion took place which lasted during 5 or 6 minutes, with a continual peal or rolling. This explosion was heard at the distance of 30 leagues round about. On that same day, some moments before the explosion at Aigle, there appeared in the air a luminous globe, impelled with a rapid movement. This globe was not observed at Aigle, but was seen from many other of the neighbouring towns, very distant from one another. The explosion which took place on the 6th of Floreal, near Aigle, was posterior to the appearance of the fiery globe that was seen in the air. The reporter computes the number of stones that fell under the above circumstances, at two or three thousand. They burnt those who took them up at the moment of their fall, when they had a very sulphurous smell. Long after citizen Biot discovered the same smell in breaking to pieces some of the largest. The witnesses to the fall of the stones are almost all the inhabitants of 20 hamlets scattered over an extent of more than two leagues square, and in the number of whom are found men, women and children of all ages; sensible and ingenious farmers, curates, military men, who have passed thro' the wars of the revolution, and alike exempt from imposition and from fear. No testimony appears to invalidate the fact, or to vary the principal circumstances. The fiery globe moving in the atmosphere with great rapidity, was seen from Caen, from Point Audemer, and from the neighbourhood of Alencon, Falaise and Varennes. The explosion was heard round Aigle, in a circumference of more than 30 leagues. The heaviest of the stones that have been collected weighed 17 pounds.
From French Papers.
NORFOLK, Sept. 24.
[We have to regret that the early departure of the gentleman who lent us the files of French papers from which we extracted for our last, has prevented us from selecting as largely as we could have done, had we possessed them longer. A few unimportant articles are all we have had time to translate; indeed they could only have furnished us with the regulations consequent on the new order of things; the detail of which seemed to occupy them almost exclusively.]
Amongst the decrees issued by the new Emperor, is one containing the following clause.
"No congregation or association of men or of women, can in future assemble under the pretext of religion, unless thereto authorised by an imperial decree, predicated on an examination of the regulations by which they propose to be governed. Nevertheless those associations known by the names of Sisters of Charity, Sisters of Hospitality, Sisters of St. Thomas, and Sisters of St. Charles, shall continue in conformity to the laws of 1st Nivose, year 9, 24th Vendemiare, year 11, and the decisions of the 28th Prairial, year 11, and 22 Germinal, year 12, to perform the duties of their associations; provided that they present within the period of six months, their statutes and regulations, to be examined and confirmed, by the Councillor of State charged with all matters appertaining to religion.
On establishing some new regulations respecting the police, Bonaparte wrote the following letter with his own Imperial hand, to—
M. REGNIER, G. J.
At a moment of general peace, I united the administration of police, to that of justice. The circumstances of war and some late events have convinced me of the necessity which you have so often represented, of reorganizing the former ministry, and I have determined to yield to your desire of being left entirely to the important functions of Grand-Judge, and Minister of Justice. In ceding to your wish, I cannot deny myself the satisfaction of testifying the high sense I have of your services, as minister of the police. Restored entirely to your proper functions, you cannot exercise them with more zeal than heretofore; but you will have more time to bestow on so essential a department of the government. The impartial administration of justice, and the talents of those who compose the tribunals, are in a state of surest guarantee of the property, and the best protection of the dearest interests, of the citizen.
This letter having no other object, Monsieur Regnier, grand judge, minister of justice, I pray God to have you in his holy keeping.

NAPOLEON.
Bonaparte finding it impossible to procure sailors for his navy, has given orders to supply the deficiency by soldiers: and to encourage their exertions, has ordered the prizes to be distributed each month, to those who shall exhibit the greatest alacrity and improvement in their different duties; the first prize is eight, the second four and the third three francs; ten of each to be adjudged for each hundred men.

Extract of a letter from one of our captive fellow citizens, dated,
TRIPOLI PRISON, May 4 1804
"I mentioned to you some time since what the English consul hath told me, that he had obtained leave for me to live with him, but that the burning of the Philadelphia frigate, by our squadron, had irritated the bashaw against us, and made him retract the permission which it seems had been granted with so much reluctance. Since that the consul has gone to Malta, having been peremptorily ordered to leave this regency. I feel very little disposed to regret his dismissal, at least in him I have lost no friend, notwithstanding his professions, and affected friendship. His conduct towards us on our arrival at this place was far from being friendly. Instead of coming forward as he ought to have done, to console us under our misfortune, and alleviate our necessities, we knew not for several days that there was such a man in Tripoli. Instead of being with us as his humanity ought to have dictated was his duty, he was basely couching at the throne of an unprincipled tyrannical usurper, and with the most despicable humiliation congratulating him upon his good fortune in obtaining so valuable a prize as our ship, and so many slaves thus suddenly becoming his! With regard to what he said of having obtained permission for me to live with him at his house, I am very much inclined to think he never broached the subject to the bashaw, he never mentioned it to me until he knew that such a thing was next to impracticable. His dismissal was a circumstance rather to be rejoiced at, for should another consul be sent here, he may be a gentleman, and coming from Malta will no doubt be made my friend by Sir Alexander Ball. Should such be the case, and we continue here any time after peace, or after the negotiation for our ransom is finally concluded, I shall then probably live with him, and will have it in my power to tell you something about this barbarous country and its ferocious inhabitants. As it is now we are as much secluded, and as closely confined as any of the Bashaw's women. 'Tis said there are many circumstances in this city and its neighborhood well worthy of seeing, the ruins of ancient pillars, triumphal arches, &c. &c.
"But we might remain here twenty years and not know more of them, except by report than you who I hope will never see the place. There is a triumphal arch in this city which I have seen, the workmanship is finished in a very superior style, and the figures in bas relief of bold and beautiful execution. The latin inscription is in some parts much defaced, and what is legible is in such detached and imperfect parts, words and letters that it would puzzle a profound antiquarian.
"It is in general supposed that our squadron intends to bombard this place sometime in the course of the approaching summer. Should such be the case, we shall all be moved with the royal family and be confined in the country palace. Although the Bashaw has no very sincere regard for us, yet so soon as this town is attacked by our squadron, he will take care to have us removed to a place of safety. I hope in God we shall yet have another crack at him, I don't think we should ever again be made prisoners to the Bashaw of Tripoli."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Port Wilkinson, to his friend in Augusta, dated the 7th of August.
Two days ago we received intelligence from the Creek agency, which though by no
means conclusive as to limits, induces us to look forward with confidence to a further extension of our western boundary line. Indeed Col. Hawkins writes, that the United States Factory, and of course the garrison of this post, will probably be removed to the Ocmulgee river before March next."
Capt. M'Millen, who arrived at New York on Tuesday from C-diz, brought letters of the 10th and 11th of August, but they do not contain a syllable of political news. The letter of the last date mentions, that from the 21st of July to the 9th of Aug. there had arrived at Cadiz from the Levant 54,000 bushels of wheat; and from different parts, 12,000 bbls. flax, which was selling for 13 to 20 dollars, per bbl.
A large ship from Philadelphia, with 4000 bbls. of flour, and a brig from Boston with 1,000 bbls. had just arrived.
Capt. M'Millen has furnished the following Prices Current:—Flour 14 to 16 dollars, wheat 4 to 4 1-2, beet 10, pork 14, pipe flaves 18 3/4, rice 8 to 9, white beans and peas per sack 3 1-2 and Indian corn 3 1-2 dollars.

Notice.
FAR advanced in years, and anxious to settle all my old accounts, I most earnestly and respectfully request all those who have open accounts with me, for loans rendered prior to the 9th of June, 1802, (the date of the commencement of my partnership with Dr. WASHINGTON,) to call and ascertain the balance then due; where it is not convenient to pay, it is hoped that some acknowledgment of the debt will be given to prevent future dispute.
I wish to employ a man to take charge of my farm FARM and a few hands at the mouth of Hunting Creek, near Alexandria. A man capable of managing a large Garden will be preferred.

JUST RECEIVED BY ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, And for Sale at their Book Store, For Jaundice and Bilious Complaints, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT BITTERS, Price only 50 cents. So used to him by L. M. Parent from the Plantation of the United States.
A MEDICINE extremely useful and efficacious for curing jaundice and bilious disorders, and removing that fullness, flatulency and distended feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, and nervousness in the forepart of the day, weariness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowish of countenance, commencing to continue to jaundice and bilious people. Also removing costiveness of the bowels, and of the cholic, cholera morbus, purges, and paralytic, indigestion, flatulency, rheumatic complaints, &c. which result from a collection of four bilious matter in the stomach, and at length restoring the system to strength and vigor. They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and to cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all catarrhous, aged and fevers. The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
LIKEWISE, Wheaton's patent itchy Ointment, Price only 50 cents. The only medicine in the world, which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either caustic or disagreeable, it being composed entirely of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder. One box gives a person, and there need be no walking after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and smoother. ALSO, Lee's genuine Windham Antibilious PILLS.
REANIMATION. WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by impudence, inheritance, accident, or disease, are fluttering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has rescued thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL. Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects, many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave, and were every way recommended as fit for life in their complaints, and had made every application to the medical art that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list. From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
I received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel. In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months, during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and emaciated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been in a state of agitation, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we had an advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect. We sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has had a little her cough, has been twice on horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Rockfish early in April to stop until we go to Ball's Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet. Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine. The Lozenges of Steel, are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs. R. & J. GRAY.
WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND, A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, -CONSISTING OF- Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Ache; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Wood, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Patrial Fevers. Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of bile may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrescent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious
Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an invaluable preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. In lucky times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week. Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment. The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease by one application, so many thousands have experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments to it, but to mention the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes: speedily removes inflammatory, dimness, itching, and fliminess: fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed themselves, small-pox, and fever, and is an unparalleled remedy of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills. An agreeable and certain preventative of the predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges. A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are evacuated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that continual flux of phlegm formed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strength of the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with this experience an almost immediate relief. When these and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Ache.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Ache, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, is, speedily submitted to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it sensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC. DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of Biliary, Hepatic, Gouty, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing hepatic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges. These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803. We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for the last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length, and the their
off, a large quantity of a sickly, offensive matter. Vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased; her appetite has become regular, and has ever since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
DR. BARDWELL'S Reanimating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Di sentery. Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies above-mentioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Reanimating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world. Price, 1 dollar, and 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London. This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of, Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, urfets, hysteric vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, jaundice, obstructions or fluxes, ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be better superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase larger quantities than one bottle. Directions will be given on the bottle, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeiters and spurious pretenders, who will tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to prevent their deceiving the public, they sometimes copy a part of the original directions, and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness. FOR many years these drops have been used with success in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS OF HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by the valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to try it, as it is the case in which it has not been a great success, and very often perfected a complete cure. Copy of directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.

TRAVELS IN GREECE. PROPOSALS. FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE TRAVELS OF Anacharsis the Younger, IN GREECE: During the middle of the fourth Century, before the Christian Era, With copious Notes and References. BY THE ABBE BARTHELEMY, Keeper of the Medals in the Cabinet of the King of France, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. Translated from the French. Five Editions, from the fourth London edition, IN FOUR VOLUMES. THE work now offered to the American read or exhibits a complete view of the antiquities, manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the period of its greatest splendor. A knowledge of these has hitherto been only attainable by a laborious perusal of writers who have been little solicitous to join entertainment with instruction. The Travels of Anacharsis, on the contrary, are so written, that the reader may frequently be induced to imagine he is perusing a work of mere amusement, invention, and fancy; till his eye glances to the bottom of the page, when he perceives there is scarcely a sentence, and not a single fact, or circumstance, but is supported by the authority of some ancient author. The amazing number of these quotations may, perhaps at first sight, seem to have been unnecessary, and to have mere the appearance of a parade of erudition, than to be of any real utility; but it is to be remembered that, at the same time that they must be highly acceptable to the man of real learning, by enabling him to refer immediately to the original author, they are extremely useful, say, we may say, absolutely necessary, even to such readers as can never be supposed to have any intention to consult the authorities quoted; as they clearly show that such an idea, or such a circumstance, is not merely a decoration or the offspring of the fancy of the author, but immediately taken from some ancient writer, and therefore perfectly accordant to the general scope and plan of the work.
TERMS. 1. The first Edition in America of Anacharsis's Travels, will be comprised in four Vols octavo. II. It shall be printed on handsome wove paper and a new type casting for the purpose. Each Volume will contain about 400 pages. III. The price to Subscribers, per Vol. bound and lettered, will be 2 dollars; in boards, 1 dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume. The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per set. IV. There shall be a handsome Map of Greece given with the first Volume, to be executed by one of the best Engravers. V. Those who obtain ten Subscribers and become responsible for the payment of the same, shall receive one copy gratis. The work is now at Press, and shall be finished with all possible dispatch. Subscriptions to the above work received at Robert & John Gray's book Store, Alexandria. PRINTED DAILY BY S. SNOWDEN.
