Foreign News,
From Bristol papers to the third of September, received by the fast sailing ship Fame, arrived yesterday.
LONDON, August 28.
A Hamburg Mail arrived this day, brings the following articles of intelligence. Six ships of the line have sailed from Toulon to proceed against Algiers. The envoy who is appointed to go with them is Citizen Hullin, who before the revolution was a private in the French guards, and was particularly active in storming the Bastille. It is said, that the letter of our government, addressed to the Dey, is conceived in very strong terms; and that, entirely to root out that nest of pirates, we will probably take possession of Algiers.
It is confirmed by the Jamaica papers, that a difference has taken place between the Governor of that Island and the House of Assembly, on the subject of the demand by Government for the Island, to undertake the payment of 5000 troops for its defence. The House of Assembly have pointedly resisted the principle, as contrary to their rights, and they claim protection, as their due, equally with every other part of the British empire. They likewise decline finding supplies for the maintenance of a corps of black artificers, thought necessary by the Governor for the execution of certain work resolved upon.
The heat in the neighborhood of Frankfort, at the commencement of the present month, was so intense, that the leaves of the vine, and other trees, fell in the same manner as at the end of Autumn.
On the 20th, the First Consul went to the Fraincaise, to see Andromaque. Mr. Fox who has been for some days in Paris, was present, and occupied a box facing that of the First Consul.
The rapid increase of Cotton Manufactories in the North of England has lately been almost incredible. Lancashire is, and perhaps will continue to be the grand centre; but one manufactory of this article has, within the last four or five years, been gaining much ground in Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Westmoreland; and so considerable has its progress been in Yorkshire, that the labouring poor in the western parts of this Riding, are at present principally employed in it. In the neighbourhood of Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, and even Dewsbury, several large manufactories have lately been erected, and we are informed the enterprising proprietors of these works have the most flattering prospect of success.
We are happy to find that the re-factory ship-wrights have submitted, are again employed, and work together with the men from the King's dock yards. The caulkers likewise have applied for permission to work, so that those unpleasant disputes are likely to be soon settled.
It is stated in a French newspaper, that a man, at Niost, devoured in the presence of several persons, an entire full grown sheep, together with its wool!!!
Corn Market, August 30.
The weather continuing fine for the harvest, our market again to day was but thinly supplied with corn from Essex and Kent, the principal part fresh up was from Suffolk. Wheat of first quality went off at Friday's terms, which are from 18, to 23. per quarter higher than this day week.
Current price of Grain per quarter—Wheat, 45s. a 55s. a 64s.; Fine do. 65s. a 66s. Rye, 30s. a 33s. Fine Flour, 50s. a 53s. per sack; Second do. 45s. a 50s. per do.
Country Markets—Salisbury, August 24, Wheat 54s. a 66s. Devizes, Aug. 26, Wheat 64s. to 70s. Warminster, Aug. 28, Wheat, 66s. to 72s.
August 31.
This day arrived Paris Papers to the 19th inst. The French Funds continue to decline. On the 27th the five per cents. were at 50. 80.
An article from Genoa, speaks of a Treaty about to be entered into between that State, and the French Republic, by which the former is to renounce the Islands of Corsica and Caprera, and to receive an exchange of Oueille and its Dependencies.
The approaching departure of General Andreossi from Paris to London, is announced to take place with a fifteen days from the 21st inst.
A Senatus Consulta is, it is stated, about to be issued, for the purpose of regulating the order of distributing of professions in St. Domingo, in such a manner as to conciliate the rights and interests of the Proprietors and the Negroes.
The Hamburg Mail which arrived on Saturday, mentions, on the authority of
letters from Vienna, that the Imperial Court continues to refuse its assent to the scheme of indemnities which has been so "disinterestedly" arranged by France, Russia, and Prussia.
An article from Augsburg, of the 19th inst. states that a body of Bavarian troops, on their march to take possession of that part of Passau granted as an indemnity to the Elector Palatine, were prevented from passing by a corps of Austrians, stationed for that purpose by the Cabinet of Vienna, on the extreme frontier of the Inn Viertel. The Declaration of the First Consul and the Emperor Alexander, will, no doubt, remove all opposition; though it appears but reasonable, that the proposed plan of Indemnities should not be carried into effect until sanctioned by the decision of the Imperial Diet.
Last night a Dutch Mail arrived, and a second this morning. Accounts from the Hague state, that a French army is to be assembled on the Rhine, for the ostensible purpose of Military parade when the Chief Consul shall visit Belgium, but more probable for the more important object of influencing and accelerating the deliberations of the Diet of Ratisbon.
It is positively stated in a private letter from Lisbon, that the abrupt departure of Gen. Lafses was occasioned by some very extraordinary attention manifested to Madame Lafses by an illustrious personage belonging to that Court.
A company of merchants has lately been formed at Vienna, for the purpose of sending the wines of Hungary to London. The capital at the first subscription amounted to 500,000 florins.
The harvest in Belgium is just finished, and is the richest ever remembered in that country.
Yesterday the East India Company's March Sale, 1802, finished, when the China raw silk rose 7 per cent. and the Bengal raw silk about 20 per cent.
Last Tuesday the weekly payment into the Excise office amounted to the enormous sum of 225,000l. being a quarter of a million of money.
We are happy to announce the arrival of the Walpole, Duke of Buccleugh, and Preston, homeward bound East Indiamen, in the Downs. The Purser of the Walpole landed at Dover yesterday morning, with the dispatches for the East India Company.
The extra duty in Russia on tar has been reduced from 96 cop. per ton to 13; making the whole export duties no more than 25 cop. per ton. At Archangel, &c. the price of that article has in consequence advanced to 290 cop. per ton.
The stock on hand, both of last year and present summer, is very large, so that a reduction is expected, the more especially as the demand from England is greatly reduced.
From the Gazette of the United States.
TOM PAINE, Invited to this country by his Right Worthy and affectionate Friend, T. JEFFERSON.
No. VI.
From the documents adduced in our last it is very evident, that even Mr. Jefferson's friends did not pretend that he was originally in favor of the adoption of our present constitution, and all that was attempted, by such of them as differed from him upon this important question, was to keep his opinions as much as possible out of sight, and to prevent them from having an undue influence upon others. Indeed, Mr. Jefferson himself very carefully washes his hands of all the guilt of imposing upon us this "form of the British government in its corrupt parts." In his letter to Mazzei he very pointedly disclaims all participation in fastening upon us these Lilliputian ties , which he informs us must be broken. When speaking of the formation of the constitution, and of every part of the administration of the government under General Washington, he mentions both as the work of an Anglo-monarchical aristocratic party, and declares, "THEIR avowed object is to impose on US the substance as THEY have already given US the form of the British government." He then enumerates who THEY are, namely "The Executive Power, the Judiciary Power, all the officers of Government, all who are seeking offices, all timid men who prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty, the British merchants,
and the Americans who trade on British capitals, the speculators, persons interested in the Bank and Public Funds (establishments invented to assimilate us to the British model in its corrupt parts)."
These are THEY who have given us this copy, not quite so base as the original, of the form of the British government.—Mr. Jefferson proceeds: "THEY would wrest from us that liberty which we have obtained by so much labor and peril; but we shall prevent it.—It is sufficient that we shall guard ourselves, and that we break the Lilliputian ties by which THEY have bound us in the first slumbers which succeeded our labours."
Such is the language by which Mr. Jefferson manifests his concurrence with Paine in his hostility to the administration of our government under Washington, and such the language which he is pleased to apply to those Lilliputian ties , which form the bond of our union. The manner in which he says these ties are to be disposed of will account, in part, for his solicitude to bring Paine to this country, at the expense of the nation, and for his sincere prayers that he may live long to continue his useful labours.
It cannot be denied, that when these ties were once fixed, and come to be looked upon by the people as the glory and stability of our times, Mr. Jefferson found it convenient to be mightily delighted with them. Then it was that in his public harangues he discovered that "the union of these states is the first of blessings and the preservation of that constitution which secures it, the first of duties." So women of a certain character are ever in a hurry, before company, to assure you of their inviolable chastity. It would be difficult to point out the occasion upon which Washington spoke, in this language, of the union of these states , and of the preservation of that constitution which secures it . The reason is plain. He had no occasion for professions of this kind; for he had given no cause for suspecting the contrary. He possessed that mens conscia recti which informed him, that to profess his belief that the union of these states is a blessing, and that the preservation of the constitution is a duty in those who hold the magistracy, would be like professing his belief that the sun affords light, or, that to steal is criminal. He would expect to hear it asked, who but fools or knaves could ever think of doubting it?
These professions, insincere as Mr. Jefferson's conduct and confidential correspondences have proved them to be, were doubtless politic on his part. His object was to break these Lilliputian ties ; and he well knew that the readiest way to accomplish that, would be to get the knot first into his own hands. It was important that he should be made President. This could not be unless he disguised his sentiments upon the constitution, and kept out of sight those designs which he had formed against the ties which connect these states.
This letter to Mazzei is not the only document by which the insincerity and cunning of Mr. Jefferson's professions may be tested. Occurrences of a more recent date prove that his honesty, merely, has yielded to the circumstances of the times, but that his opinion of the constitution and his designs against the present system of our government remain unchanged. What are the sentiments expressed in Mr. Jefferson's Prospect before Us, which he hired Mr. Callender to compile and to father? The following are some few of the expressions worthy of the correspondent of Mazzei and Paine.
"The federal constitution was crammed down the gullet of America."—"The longer we examine, the harder we shall find it to prove what America has gained by this government." "Every Virginian who values his freedom should prepare himself to meet the worst that may happen. He should perfect himself in the use of the musket with as much dexterity as the devotee learns his catechism."
* Mr. Jefferson here no doubt alludes to the labour and peril which he so manfully underwent while governor of Virginia, when pursued by Tarleton. They are thus described by Mr. Leven Powell of Virginia:
"When Tarleton, with a few light horse, pursued the assembly to Charlottesville, Mr. Jefferson discovered such a want of humbles, as shewed he was not fit to fill the first executive office, for instead of using his talents, in directing the necessary operations of defence, he quitted his government by resigning his office; this too at a time that tried men's souls, at a time when the affairs of America stood in doubtful suspense and required the exertions of all."
† See his inaugural speech of March 4, 1797 when inducted into the office of Vice-President.

It is unnecessary to multiply extracts from the Prospect. The purport of that work, and the agency of Mr. Jefferson in the publication of it, are fresh in the recollection of our readers. Those who with to look further for Mr. Jefferson's sentiments upon this subject may satisfy themselves by an examination of the National Gazette, the Aurora, and other publications patronized by Mr. Jefferson and his sect.

Tangier, 12th Aug. 1802. I have much satisfaction in acquainting you, that peace is again established between this Empire and the United States of America, of consequence our vessels have no longer any danger to apprehend from the Emperor's Cruizers. This intelligence you will be pleased to communicate to all citizens of the United States or others it may concern near you. I am with respect, fir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) JAMES SIMPSON. Joseph Yznardi, Esq. Cadiz.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Haven, (Con.) to the editor, dated, October 14. "You may have noticed in the democratic papers some boasting respecting our late election. This day the General Assembly convened, and on the choice of speaker, Mr. Kirby, the democratic candidate had 36 out of 150 votes. At the last election they boasted of having 60 democrats; if they spoke the truth then, they have lost greatly. Elizur Goodrich, Esq. whom Mr. Jefferson removed from the collector's office, is chosen speaker. When the votes for nomination to council shall have been counted, the result will show no loss of federalism in this State."

FROM AUX-CAYES. By the arrival of captain Ruffel at Philadelphia, we learn, that at the time of his sailing from Aux Cayes, (18th Sept.) the utmost confusion prevailed in the Southern Department, and the inhabitants were all under arms, in consequence of a general revolt among the negroes, caused by a late decree issued by the general in chief, declaring all the blacks, not free previous to the revolution, to be slaves. Several attempts have been made to burn the town and adjacent plantations, and a number of whites have been massacred by the brigands; their progress has, however, been somewhat retarded by the spirited conduct of the inhabitants, and the few remaining French troops, about 50 in number (about 1000 of which lately arrived, have fallen victims to the fever). About 200 of the brigands have been executed, and more are daily brought in.—St. Louis, a small town in this neighborhood, lately in possession of the blacks, has been retaken by a company of dragoons, under the command of the black general La Plume, and the ringleaders executed. It was reported, that General Le Clerc, with 2000 troops under his command, were on their march to this place from the Cape, which report was, however, not generally credited. The French vessels of war had arrived on the morning captain R. failed which very probably would have a sensible effect in restoring tranquility; business was wholly at a stand and markets extremely dull. Accounts from Jacquemel state, that a general massacre there of the whites had taken place, after a pillage of the town ensued—they have, however, been in some measure quelled by the arrival of the French vessels of war."
The following articles are copied from the Bermuda Gazette, a file of which, to the 2d inst. is received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
BERMUDA, September 11. We have the most undoubted information from St. Domingo, within these few days, which state, that the most dreadful battles are fought there almost every day between the whites and blacks; that the blacks are but too successful, owing very much to the sickness which prevails there; that Le Clerc's army is half destroyed, and most of the remainder so debilitated that they are unable to act offensively anywhere; and that it was generally supposed that without a very large army, the island must be evacuated. Coffee and sugar were cheap on the coast, and a pair of pistols or a musket would fetch two hundred weight of either from the blacks who came out in row boats to every vessel passing the coast.
We are sorry to say, that a very great sickness prevailed at Trinidad lately, which proved very fatal to the whites. (but not so to the blacks) particularly strangers to the climate. Several thousand blacks have already arrived there, but the place at present is rather dull, owing to most of the shipping returning home.—Provisions were cheap.
A number of American vessels have been lately wrecked on the Caicos Banks, the crews of several of which most inevitably have perished, had not the wreckers saved them.
October 2. Several English West-India Islands have shut their ports against the Americans, owing to their having such a number of their vessels and seamen unemployed.—There are also here a great number of vessels unemployed, as well as seamen; and some measures must be taken to put a stop to the present trade between these Islands and America, or some new regulations take place, otherwise every dollar will vanish.
The Whale fishery has been so productive this year that a greater number of ships than ever was known are expected to be fitted out the next season, both for the South Sea and Greenland, from England.
The number of the inhabitants in Greenland have increased amazingly within these few years, owing, in a great measure, to the attention paid to them by government, in giving them such necessaries as they are in need of, as well as temporary habitations. They are become very industrious, shooting deer, bears, &c. and killing whales.
If the same bounty to the South Sea whale fishermen, is held out here now as was the case before the war, there can be no doubt but that new adventurers would soon be found. Encouragement should also be given to the fishery here, as i,
would keep an astonishing sum in these Islands. The above deserves serious consideration, and we trust will be attended to, for without some means is soon devised to employ our seamen, every dollar will be drained from us.

Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.
TAKE NOTICE, That S. Bishop is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.
Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an 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.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN. Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a fever cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
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—residence in climates unfavourable 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 lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Loss of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Flatulency, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete 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 complaints 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 flatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. P. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength. JOHN HOOVER

HAMILTON'S WOR DESTROYING LOZENGES. Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the Symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES. (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 20 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 its 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 vigour—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 neighbours, 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.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802. 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 mercurius, but upon close inspection quite reple 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 of those 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.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
