From the United States Gazette.
STATE POLITICS.
We have been waiting some days to see what remarks the friends of gov. M c Kean among the democrats would make upon the queer stories which our good republican and patriotic legislature have been telling about him; but as they seem to feel no inclination to the task, we must e'en make some for ourselves; and in the first place we remark that their address differs from most democratic productions which we have had the honor of perusing, inasmuch as it contains a great deal of truth; and secondly, that it very nearly resembles all other democratic productions, inasmuch as it contains a great deal of absurd inconsistency, and contradiction.
Now, as to the truth, we cannot but dwell upon it with peculiar satisfaction, because when coming from this source it appears not only in all its native beauty, but with the additional charm of novelty. We cannot, however, rank under this head the introductory remarks, in which our legislators compliment themselves upon their "invariable moderation," their exemplary "patience and forbearance," and their declaration that "principles and not men are the objects of their contests." As this is just such stuff as we can always find in abundance in the Aurora, and other papers of the faction, we pass it over, and proceed to the account which they give of Mr. M c Kean's original nomination to the office which he at present holds. They state it in the following manner.
"At the meeting of a few decided and influential men, to whom the selection of a candidate for the office of governor was tacitly referred, several gentlemen were brought into view from different parts of the state. On the first nomination, Thomas M c Kean had the least support; many of those who had assembled, were apprehensive that his austere and aristocratical habits would render him unsuitable for the chief magistracy of an unostentatious people; they saw in him a man of strong mind, biased by a dogged attachment to a particular class of men, confirmed by years of professional contention and domination in courts of law."
Here it is acknowledged that while they were extolling the republican sentiments and manners of M c Kean, for the purpose of promoting him to the chief magistracy, they, in their hearts considered him as austere, aristocratical, and bigotted . Now what must we think of men, of legislators, who begin their address to the people by declaring that "principles and not men have been the objects of their contest," and in the next column tell us that they knowingly selected for the chief magistracy of an unostentatious people a man notorious for his austerity and aristocratical habits ? For shame, gentlemen legislators! we always knew that in your political conduct you disregarded integrity and principle; but we were not aware that you would have the audacity thus openly to proclaim your depravity. Whether Mr. M c Kean was actually immoral and intemperate in his habits (as is alleged in the Aurora) violent in his passions, haughty, domineering, and aristocratic in his character and manners, it is not our present purpose to enquire. It is enough, that by their own confession they so considered him when they selected him from all other men in the state to be our chief magistrate. Whether they have now a better opinion of Mr. Snyder than they then had of Mr. M c Kean must be left to some future quarrel to decide.
After meeting with the above account of the character of Mr. M c Kean at the time he was pitched upon by the democrats for governor, I was curious to see what they would find by way of a set off to justify the choice of a man of such austere and aristocratical habits. I soon discovered it, in the close of the same paragraph. They say "Mr. M c KEAN, took occasion to hurl at the heads of "traitors, Tories, refugees, and apostate whigs" a fulmination which exceeded the expectations of the republicans." This was indeed sufficient to cover a multitude of sins. It was so like the vulgar language of the new-sper of the party that very probably some of them really began to imagine that there was something democratic in the man. Of course, as we are told by our legislators, "he was taken up and elected by the great body of the farmers of Pennsylvania, in opposition to the whole influence of the federal government, the mercantile interest, and all that were aristocratical or disposed to introduce a system subversive of freedom." They now think it very hard, and so it is indeed, that a man of austere and aristocratical habits, to whose promotion the interests of all who were aristocratical as well as the mercantile interests had been thus sacrificed by the republican friends of the people, should afterwards be so unkind and ungrateful as to think or act in such a manner as to disoblige them.

NEW-YORK, June 10.
The ship John Morgan, captain Howard, arrived at this port on Saturday morning, in 35 days from Liverpool; and has enabled us to present the readers of the Mercantile advertiser with European intelligence to the first of May, inclusive, from London papers to that date with which captain Howard has obligingly favored us. The following are amongst the principal articles they contain. Our Lloyd's Lists are to the 30th of April.
LONDON, April 26.
An article from Augsburg, dated April 7, states, that letters had been received there from Vienna, announcing the capture of Belgrade by the insurgents of Servia.
Yesterday, in the house of commons, Mr. Pitt gave notice of his intention, on Monday, to move for the appointment of a select committee to enquire into the expenditure of the army. Also, for leave to bring in a bill to continue the powers of the commissioners of Naval Inquiry. Mr. Whitebread likewise announced his intention of making a motion on his majesty's answer, on receiving the resolutions of the 8th of April. It will be of a similar tendency with that which he withdrew on the 10th.
A debate not very animated or entertaining, but certainly very important, took place on the further proceedings that are to be adopted in regard to lord Melville and Mr. Trotter. The opposition wished that the whole of the tenth report should be referred to a select committee, giving up for the present the idea of legal proceedings for an account so inadequate to the end; but reserving to themselves the right to move them, should the result of a committee justify that course. The ministerial side were desirous to take from the committee, in the first instance, the cognizance of lord Melville and Mr. Trotter, as debtors to the public, preferring the proceeding in equity, at the instance of the attorney general, against them; at the same time they contended, that if necessary, the powers of the committee might be enlarged. On the motion of Mr. Whitebread, for a large committee, and Mr. Pitt's amendment which went to define the powers of the committee a division took place, in which the numbers were:
For the amendment 229 For Mr. Whitebread's motion 151 Majority 78
April 27.
We have received Dutch papers to a late date. From the statements they give it would appear that great activity prevails in the ports of Holland, and the expedition against this country is again spoken of as an event that will shortly take place. Three ships of the line have been equipped and put in commission. A new 74 gun ship, named the Regulus, has been launched at L'Orient on the 13th instant.
The king of Spain has formally recognized Bonaparte as king of Italy.
April 29.
From the London Gazette. April 27.
"The king has been pleased to cause it to be signed by the right honorable lord Mulgrave, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, to the ministers of neutral powers residing at this court, that the necessary measures have been taken, by his majesty's command for the blockade of the ports of Cadiz and St. Lucar; and that from this time all the measures authorised by the laws of nations, and the respective treaties between his majesty and the different neutral powers, will be adopted and executed with respect to all vessels which may attempt to violate the said blockade."
The sailing of the Toulon fleet, which took place on the 30th ult. was allowed to appear in the Paris papers on the 10th. A letter on this subject from Paris says, "The Toulon fleet consists of several sail of the line, four of eighty guns, six frigates and two corvettes. They have three thousand land troops on board. Their first object is said to be to attack the small English squadron under sir John Orde, off Cadiz, to form a junction with the fleet at Cadiz, and then to sail with their united force against Nelson, whose fleet has for a good while past quitted the neighborhood of Toulon. In order to engage the attention of the English in the north, and in the channel, the Brest fleet came out of port and the Boulogne flotilla, came into the Road. We expect to hear shortly too of the United squadrons at Ferrol putting to sea."
Government has at length received official accounts of the above fleet having passed the straights of Gibraltar on the 9th inst. The Donegal of eighty four guns was a head, and the Sophia sloop of war a stern,
watching the enemy. The Fisguard frigate went to Ferrol, the Sir John Colpoys schr. to the Brest fleet, and a purchased fast sailing brig was dispatched immediately from Gibraltar in quest of Lord Nelson. The general opinion at Gibraltar, was that the French fleet was bound to the West-Indies; but there are reasons to suppose it rather bound for the East Indies.
In consequence of the above intelligence orders were last night sent off to Ireland, to stop for the present the sailing of the Cork fleet.
Dispatches have also been sent off to be forwarded in a fast sailing vessel to sir John Craig.
The following reports were currently in circulation yesterday, viz.
That on Saturday last Viscount Sidmouth, resigned the presidency of the council; and at the same time, the Earl of Buckinghamshire resigned also the chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster; and Mr. Vansittart, the chief secretaryship of the state for Ireland, on the duties of which office he had entered only the preceding day. Sir Evan Neapman has also resigned his seat at the Board of Admiralty. The causes which led to these unexpected resignations, are of course variously related; but the following statement we have reason to believe, will be found the principal, and tolerably authentic:
That Lord Sidmouth, after the recent resolutions of the House of Commons, not only declined giving any further support to the measures in favor of Lord Melville, but is said to have presented in the Cabinet the necessity of the erasure of Lord Melville's name from the list of his Majesty's privy councillors. He found himself, however, in a minority of one upon this question. It was afterwards proposed to prosecute a further enquiry into the conduct of a prior Ex-Naval Minister on the ground of the Eleventh Report, which Lord Sidmouth opposed; but on this point also he was ultimately in a similar minority. The absence of his Lordship's friends from the house of commons on Friday night's debate is supposed to have been the result of these Cabinet schisms, as Mr. Pitt was informed by letter that night, that his Lordship could no longer form a part of his administration. A similar intimation was sent off to his majesty at Windsor.
That the Earl of Buckinghamshire, and Mr. Vansittart, sent in their resignations at the same time. No reason has been assigned for sir Evan Neapman quitting his seat at the admiralty, nor do we think it connected with the general rupture above stated; but arise from whatever cause it may, the public will have to regret the loss of his able, and efficient services.
That there have been some differences in the Cabinet we have no doubt; but, just after this paper was at press, we learnt that they had been adjusted.
Four Spanish frigates, with treasure from America, are stated to have recently fallen into the hands of the squadron blockading Cadiz.

We yesterday stated in a part of our impression that accounts had been received in town of the Toulon fleet having got into Cadiz, and effected a junction with the Spanish division in that port. This intelligence, we now understand, was brought by the Fisguard, 36 guns, Lord Mark Ker, which arrived from Cadiz on Sunday evening at Plymouth, with despatches for government. It is further stated that Sir John Orde, with five sail of the line, fell in with the above fleet, and had an engagement with them, but in consequence of his inferiority was obliged to sheer off. We do not vouch for the truth of this statement, but it is probable, as the fleet passed the Straits of Gibraltar on the 9th instant.
It is likewise said, that Lord Nelson, with his whole fleet, was at anchor in Cadiz Roads, where he was blockading the Toulon squadron; similar accounts have been brought to Plymouth by the Sirius, of 36 guns.
The following article, relative to the Toulon squadron, was yesterday posted at Lloyd's.
"A letter has been received at the admiralty from lord Gardner, inclosing a copy of one from vice-admiral sir John Orde to his majesty's minister at Lisbon. It appears, that on the afternoon of the 9th instant, the Toulon squadron stood close to the harbour of Cadiz, and had nearly brought the vice admiral to action."
The king has been pleased to appoint William Eligh, esq. to be captain general and governor in chief in and over the settlement of New South Wales.
A delegation from the town of Liverpool has prevailed upon the lords of the Treasury to put that port upon the same footing as the port of London, in regard to the Warehousing system, without requiring new docks or warehouses to be constructed for that purpose. Thirty warehouses, which have been tendered, are to be immediately licensed.
FALMOUTH, April 22.

REANIMATION. WHEN the most important func- tions of life are suspended, and those who are in- valids by imprudence, inheritance, accident of disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happi- ness, which is
THE AROMATIC  LOZENGES OF STEEL. Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have expe- rienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been re- duced to the brink of the grave having used every re- medy recommended as specific in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list. From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Pro- vidence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly receiv- ed very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lo- zenges 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 up- wards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly per- suaded by the Doctor we went to Ball-Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considera- ble 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 so ir- ritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw 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 evi- dently produced a change in her system, which no medi- cine before had been able to effect; we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice to horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks skill early in April to stay until we go to Ball-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 annexed 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; Ano- dyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; At- kinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills, For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers. Every experienced physician knows that dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy while in the habit; however salutary a due secrete- tion of this fluid may be, yet a distension of it in the circulation is known, from its putrescent qua- lities, to bring on sedition and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly preventing this dreadful disease is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint to
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, deserv- ing the notice of all persons going to the West India islands, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible rea- son, that can result from long and extensive expe- rience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the pre- valence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally suc- ceed in restoring health; and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of com- mon remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situa- tion and of every age. In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to appre- hend 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 having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Tho- mas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the Eyes; spe- cially removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and film, it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently suc- ceed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unpa- ralleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills. An agreeable and certain preventative of the predisposi- tion 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, calils, asthma and con- sumptions, 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 perspi- ration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convul- sive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strength- ening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, af- fecting the breath and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. As- thmas 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 admini- stered at an improper season.
Dr. BRADWELL'S  Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of  Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumpti- on in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arise- ing from whatever cause, or however violent, in- stantly submit to its penetrating powers. This in- valuable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had fail- ed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly 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 unquestion- ably 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 scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, 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 scorbutic 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 per- sons of character and respectability are open to the ex- amination 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 Lo- zenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but ef- fectually prevent their return. Those families who have allowed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common phyic, 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 per- formed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them ac- cording to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offen- sive matter; the second brought away four monstrous worms nearly half a yard in length and the third a large quantity of slimy offensive matter, with vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled, have ceased—her regular appetite has become
which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.  DR. BARDWELL'S  Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life. Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Centenary. 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 abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural in- ference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating 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 as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant medicines ever discovered by man or offered to the world. Price, 1 dol. and 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, faith- fully prepared at the original warehouse, Lon- don.
This incomparable medicine has flood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near a hun- dred 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, scurvy, obstructions or hep- ages, bilious fevers, sick fish, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknow- ledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor hath reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted on the Bottle, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeiters and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bit- ters; and in order to impose their train on the pub- lic, they sometimes copy a part of the true adver- tisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness. FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS of HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are ear- nestly recommended to a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure. Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar. June 13.
For SALE and to RENT.
I wish to sell 900 acres of Land, on Sugar Land Run ; being a moiety of 1800 acres, lying on the edge of Loudoun, and in Fairfax county, about 20 miles from Alexan- dria, 19 from George Town, and about a mile and one quarter from the river—lies level—It has an abundance of fine timber on it equal to any in the county, and no tract of land can be more copiously supplied with innumerable springs of the finest water; there is a part of it laid down in fine clover paddocks, with a good orch- ard and several buildings fit for tenants. This land was deeded to me, several years ago, by Ferdinand Fairfax, Esquire—the title indisput- able, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land showed to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber. I wish to Rent, for 5 or 6 years,
An ISLAND in the Potomac, About fifteen miles from George-town, Containing 216 acres; most of which is clear- ed: I am told, by those who have been in Ken- tucky, that it is equal to any land in that state, producing from 10 to 12 barrels of corn per acre in a tolerable season. A great bargain may be had in the purchase of the first mentioned tract, and in the latter on rent, provided application be soon made. Possession may be had at Christmas , (when the present crop will be finished) with li- berty of sowing wheat this fall. It is supposed, by judges, there is a good MILL-STREAM, with a stream of water on the 900 acre tract. Any person desirous of purchasing will view it and judge for themselves. B. DADE. May 16.
