FROM FRENCH PAPERS Received at the Office of the Public Ledger.
PARIS, June 15. Report made to his majesty the emperor and king, by his excellency the minister of the public treasure.
SIRE, The payment of the American debts upon the fund of 20 millions is in full activity. Among the American creditors who are paying off, there are several who receive by means of their attorneys.
I have received information from all parts, that some of these agents complained of having been obliged to make sacrifices for the purpose of being paid. It is, however, much more probable that they thus prepare for themselves means under false pretext, to make these deductions be supported by their employers. To disconcert these manoeuvres, I have written the annexed letter to Mr. Armstrong, the minister of the United States. It has since been rumoured, that some creditors had been forced, previous to obtaining their liquidation, to give bills of exchange, in blank, payable at the same time that the treasury should make its payments. Though fully persuaded beforehand that nothing similar had taken place at the general liquidation, I did not judge it less necessary to put a stop to these calumnious reports. For this purpose I determined to see all the creditors tete-a-tete at the moment of payment; I told them, that I was taking measures that no deduction should be allowed them by their employers in America, that if they had passed any such bills, the payment of them should be at their own cost; and that for the remainder I should give them (the attorneys) the means of forcing those to restitution who should have extorted such bills in blank from them.
It appears to me that these rumors have less weight since I took this step, and should they entirely cease, I shall have the certitude that these reports were impositions of covetous people, who wished to cheat their employers.
I pray you, sire, to accept the homage of my profound respect for your majesty. BARBE-MARBOIS.
Paris, 11th Prairial, year 13. The minister of the public treasure to his excellency the minister plenipotentiary of the United States.
PARIS, 17th Floreal, year 13. Sir,
You and I have taken cognizance of the liquidations that have been made of each of the American debts, payable at the public treasury, upon a fund specially assigned by one of the conventions of the 10th Floreal, year 11.
We have taken the measures which we judged most proper to secure to each creditor the recovery of what is due to him. Several of them are represented by assignees or by agents with full power of attorney. It appears from what I was told by the person who presented himself in your name, that you are apprehensive of the abuses which some persons might make of the orders that will be delivered to them by you.
I have indeed received information that some attorneys or other agents, intend to retain in their own hands more or less considerable portions of the sums which shall be paid to them, and that they will seek to justify this infidelity, by giving out that they have been obliged to make advances of disbursements to obtain a right to this payment. We must be upon our guard against such charges, when those who hazard to make them will name nobody, and confine themselves to vague designations. All persons interested in these payments have had and will always have the power of recurring to us or to the upright magistrate, director general, who presided at the liquidation of the debts. But independent of this power, you may acquaint all those to whom or for whose account these payments are made, that the whole of the sums paid belongs to them; that their correspondents cheat them if they attempt to make deductions, either exorbitant, as I have been informed, or even moderate. They are obliged to allow them only the commission usual in trade. All other deduction, secret or even avowed, which these correspondents should make them undergo, would indicate a malversation, for which they will have full redress in the courts of justice or in any other manner. In support of their reclamation, they will obtain from you and from me all necessary information. They may ask for it at any time, may return and ask for fresh information; nothing will be refused them. We shall always look upon it as a duty to enable them to exercise their right to its full extent. I even think it proper, since you and I are to see all parties who are to receive payment, that we should give them the assurances, and that if any may have been led into error, they should know that we shall spare no pains that they may experience no loss in the amount of the sum, which shall have been acknowledged to be due to them.
I pray you, Sir, To accept the assurance of my high consideration. (Signed) BARBE MARBOIS.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 6. Mr. J. B. Jarboe, gunner, and Mr. James Love, sail-maker, on board the brig Jane, of Baltimore, which was captured and sent into Barracoa, and who arrived at this port in the brig Lear, have furnished us with the following particulars of that action:
On the morning of the 25th July, off the Platform, were engaged by the French privateer Superb, capt. Dominique, mounting 6 guns, with 87 men, completely accoutred with muskets, &c. The Jane mounted 16 carriage-guns, and at the commencement of the action had 44 men, six or eight of which were too sick to stand the deck; her commander, captain Wm. Kennedy, was killed early in the action, which lasted about one hour, when the privateersmen carried the Jane by boarding, after being twice before beaten off, in attempting it. On boarding, the Frenchmen behaved in the most shameful and cruel manner; Mr. Anderson, the mate, who was wounded in the arm, and who was the only officer remaining on deck when they came on board, was immediately cut down with their sabres, as were also one man and a boy, who had not secured their retreat by running below. Mr. Fanning, supercargo of the schooner which was captured in company, and who had taken passage in the brig for safety, was thrown overboard, and endeavoring to swim to the privateer, was wantonly shot while in the water. The remainder of the crew of the Jane were cruelly treated by the privateersmen, and plundered of every thing.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16.
The United States' frigate Essex, commodore Barron, is in Hampton Roads.
OFFICIAL.
The following is an extract a letter from commodore Barron to dated,
22, 1805. In giving with the not contem- necessarily & of that prince of Tripoli:— the co-opera- ter visited en- e exile and attach- the part of his for- be employed to the and advantage of his use; but without meaning ives by any specific or de- as an end, which the te- structions, and the limited appropiated, for that special purpose, clearly demonstrate. I fear by the conven- tion you seem to think of making with Ha- et, that a wider range would be taken than is consistent with the powers vested in me for that particular object. These ap- hensions may perhaps prove groundless on further representations from you, but under the present impressions I feel it my duty to state explicitly, that I must with- hold my sanction to any convention, or a- greement, committing the United States or tending to impress upon Hamet Bashaw a conviction that we have bound ourselves to place him upon the throne.
The consequences involved in such an engagement cannot but strike you forcibly, and a general view of our situation in rela- tion to the reigning bashaw and our unfor- tunate countrymen in Tripoli, will be suf- ficient to mark its expediency. I shall con- sider it my duty, as it certainly is my incli- nation, to afford you every aid compatible with the authority vested in me, and com- ensurate with the means that have been placed at my disposal; and you may rely on the most active and vigorous sup- port from the squadron, as soon as the season and our arrangements will per- mit us to appear in force before the enemy's walls; but I wish you to un- derstand that no guarantee or engage- ment to the exiled prince, whose cause, I must repeat we are only favoring, as an instrument to our advantage, and not as an end in itself, must be held to stand in the way of our acquiescence to any honorable and advantageous terms of accommodation which the reigning bashaw may be induced to propose. These terms being once offer- ed and accepted by the representative of go- vernment appointed to treat of peace, our support to the ex bashaw must necessarily cease. You will not, however, conceive, that these considerations, important and necessary as they are, ought to induce us at once to abandon the benefits which the measures you have adopted seem to pro- mise; I conceive a perseverance in them by no means incompatible with a total freedom
from any trammels with respect to a defi- nitive object, which freedom I deem it all- important to preserve, especially when I view the peculiar situation in which capt. Bainbridge and his fellow-sufferers, may be placed by this co-operation. If by your energy and exertions, added to the sup- plies, now sent forward, you succeed in getting possession of Derne and Bengaze, we may calculate that having received this impulse from our strength, the ex-bashaw will himself possess sufficient energy, cou- rage and talent, and if accounts are cor- rect, sufficient interest among the people to move on with firm steps, and conduct his friends and followers to the gates of Tripoli, but should he be found deficient in these essential qualities, or that it ap- pears we have been deceived in regard to the disposition of the inhabitants, he must be held as an unfit subject for further sup- port or co-operation."

Ten tracts of Land, of 1000 acres each, situate on the river Oucheta, and the Ba- son of Berthelline, in the county of Oucheta, a territory of Orleans. The above land is part the grant made to the Baron de Bastrop by Spanish government. It is situated above miles from the Natchez, 250 miles from Orleans, and 30 from the river Mississ- from 10 to 15 miles from the port of Or- It is thought unnecessary to give more a brief description of it, as any person wishing more particular information may obtain it from any of the following named gentlemen.
The above land lies on waters navigable seasons for vessels of 40 tons burthen, is in heart of a country fast settling from the Mis- pi territory and Kentucky, and being 100 miles from the port renders it contiguous to flour, cotton gins, &c. It is scarcely ne- to say any thing of the quality of the lo- the whole of that country is known to be a finest land in the world. It may not be impro- per to remark however, of these lands, that a- bout one fifth being covered with timber, the rest is prairie, and nothing else is required to prepare it for a crop of cotton, indian corn, to- bacco, hemp, or rice, (in the lowest part of the grounds) than merely ploughing it up.
The subscriber owns 5000 acres more, on which he would be glad of obtaining industrious settlers. Such settlers ought to have some ne- groes, and a plenty of children. To such he of- fers liberal encouragement, either by selling to them at a low price, or on a long credit of 5 or 6 years, or lease of 10 years. He would also furnish them with provisions on their arrival there.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, Coughs, Asthma, Coughing, Coughing with...
is afflicted with any of the above symptoms... have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above stated.
CASES OF CURES— By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
MR. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE, is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—excess in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Lots of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weaknesses, Seminal weaknesses, Fluoribus (or whites), Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate gleet, Impotency, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia. GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for this obstinate disease. If you think this letter are at liberty to make it public.

DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repletes with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.

The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration
which is essential to health. Yet its salutary effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
