ANDREW.
A reward of Thirty Dollars is offered to any person for apprehending and securing the said Ned low in any jail out of the state, so that I get him again— Twenty Dollars if secured in like manner within the district of Columbia, or at the distance of 40 miles from home, and Ten Dollars , with reasonable charges if brought home, or secured in the jail of Fairfax or Loudoun. Andrew abandoned on the night of the 7th inst.; he is a light Mulatto , about 27 years of age, rather low of stature, squat and thick made, broad shoulders, and short dark hair; has one or more scars on his back from a scold when young; wore when he went away, a ticklenburg shirt, a pair of nankeen overalls, striped silk jacket, a hat and pair of old shoes, and of late wore suspenders; he is fond of liquor and much addicted to gaming; forward and assuming, very artful and will attempt to pass for a free white man. He is a good cook and washer, understands business about a house as a waiter, and will probably offer himself as such; he is also a good mower, and is capable of other plantation work. He has a free mother in Georgetown, and I suspect he may for a time endeavour to secrete himself there or about the neighbourhood. A Mulatto man by the name of Ned belonging to Mr. Thos. Briscoe, of Loudoun county, was missing the next day, and it is supposed they are gone off together. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harbouring or carrying off the above slave.

THE SUBSCRIBER,
With a view of closing his outstanding concerns, and that he may have it in his power to remove from Alexandria, in case his interest may require it, will offer for sale the following
Very valuable Property,
viz.
On Wednesday the 8th day of August next, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, on the premises, THE LOTS belonging to him lying between Fairfax street and the river Potomac, and between Queen and Cameron streets, being fifteen in number and containing about 400 feet front; and also his WHARF—a plat of the whole will be exhibited at the sale or may be seen any time before. A more particular description is deemed unnecessary, as it is supposed that those desirous of purchasing will view them, and for this purpose any time before the sale, by calling on the subscriber, he will show them. When the growing state of Alexandria is considered, and the immense expense incurred in improving wharf property, it is presumed it will be desirable for merchants intending to reside here to possess it.
Also, on the same day, when the sale of the above lots is over, at the Coffee House, the DWELLING HOUSE in which he resides, on the south side of King street, next door below Col. Gilpin's, which is large, commodious and well finished, with the front fitted for a store, and with as good a cellar as any in the town for business.
Also, on Thursday the 9th of August next, on the premises, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, upwards of
100 Building Lots,
the property of Wm. Wilson and the subscriber, lying in the vicinity of the Powder House, and also in the inclosure to the westward thereof between Mr. Conway's ground and Purkis's Garden. These lots, being sufficiently remote from safety in case of a return of the Yellow Fever, will be eligible situations for those who have not the convenience of retreating to the country should that unfortunate event recur.
The terms and credits, which will be liberal, will be made known at the different places of sale.
Also, at private sale, if a fair price is offered, eight acres fronting on King street, now leased to Thos. Purkis, which is in a high state of improvement as a Garden.

TRIBUNATE, 10 FLOREAL, April 30.
Sitting Extraordinary, of the Tribunate.
Fabre de l'Aude, President.—After the minutes of the last sitting had been read, and approved, the president addressed the assembly as follows:
"On the 23d of this month our colleague Curee, laid on the table a motion of order, in which he demanded, 1st. That the government of the republic shall be confided an Emperor. 2d. That the Empire shall be hereditary in the family of Napoleon Bonaparte, now First Consul. 3d. That such of our institutions as are only traced out, shall be definitely suppressed."
Curee then said, "Citizens, Colleagues, I appear in this assembly to call your attention to weighty objects in which the nation is highly interested. In a matter of so much importance, it is necessary that you should grant me that attention and indulgence which the purity of my patriotism gives me reason to hope; for the success & duration of every political system depends on the stability of the government, which forms at it were the centre of it where every thing terminates. This principle is incontestible for all times and circumstances but its application becomes a necessity still more incontestible, when in consequence of great changes having produced, and developed an order of things which fixes under new points of view the destiny of the people, it can be evidently proved that these political changes are sanctioned for ages, and the maintenance of the grand results they have left behind them are secured for ever, by bringing back and re-establishing, in a certain authentic hereditary course of succession, the government incorporated with these great results, and which is connected in as intimate a manner with them as the trunk of a tree is with its roots."
The Speaker then called the attention of the tribunes to the memorable epoch of the revolution, when the French (according to his blasphemous expression) "with an unanimous will and voice as powerful as that of the Creator the first day of the existence of the universe, exclaimed, let equality be established, let privileges disappear, and let the nation be what it ought to be!" He then took a view of the government of Charlemagne, and the abuses introduced into France after that glorious epoch when one of the most powerful families of the feudal system was called to the sovereignty. He then adverted to the year 1789, when the French people, he said committed the great fault of leaving the supreme power in the hands of a family essentially feudal. Louis XVI. king of France, would never condescend to be king of the French. Being born a sovereign he could never consent to become a magistrate. Having then made some observations on the Constituent Assembly, the constitution of 1791 and the state of things since that period, he observed that the happy situation of the French people, who were now in the full possession of all the rights which were the object of the revolution in 1789, was disturbed only by uncertainty in regard to the future. "The enemies of our country" said he, are alarmed at our prosperity, as they are at our glory. Their plots have been multiplied, and one might say that instead of a whole nation, they had only to combat one man. Him they have attempted to strike in order to effect his destruction, being well assured that France in mourning for the loss it would that day sustain, for the great man who organised it, and the chief by whom it is governed, divided by ambitious rivals and torn by parties would sink amidst the storms let loose against it in every direction—What security can we give it against the fear of so many misfortunes? What remedies can we oppose to so many evils? Opinion of the armies and the whole people have pronounced it. Hereditary succession in a family, rendered illustrious by the revolution, consecrated by equality and liberty, in a family of a chief who was the first soldier of the republic before he became the first magistrate—a chief who would have been eminently distinguished by his civil qualities even had he not filled the world with the fame of his arms, and the splendor of his victories. Here, continued he, we have the inappreciable advantages of finding at the head of a nation the chief of an august family proper to form the first link of the new dynasty; an eternal barrier will thus be opposed to the return of faction, and the French people will be certain of preserving their dignity, their independence, and their territory. Let us hasten then, my col-
leagues, to demand that the chief Magistracy may be made hereditary; for, in voting a chief to be hereditary, as Pliny said to Trajan, we prevent the return of a master. But at the same time let us give a grand name to a great power; let us procure to the supreme magistracy of the first empire of the world the respect due to a sublime denomination; I do not find a title for the chief of a national power more worthy of the splendour of the nation than the title of Emperor. I move then, that we refer to the Senate a wish which is that of the whole nation and of which the object is:
 1st. That Napoleon Bonaparte, now First Consul, be declared Emperor, and in that quality remain charged with the government of the French Republic.  2d. That the Imperial dignity be declared hereditary in his family.  3d. That such of our institutions as are only traced out, shall be definitely suspended. 
Almost all the members of the tribunate having inscribed their names to speak on the motion, Savoye Rollin observed, that it would be difficult for them all to be heard, and on a proposal being made, the tribunate referred to a commission of thirteen members, the motion of order, the speeches delivered, and those which should be spoken till the day fixed for the report.—The commission were to make their report on Thursday.
The members who composed it are Curee, Sachue, Jaubert (de la Gironde,) Duveyrier, Euvidal, Vidal, Gillet (de Seine et Oise,) Freville, Carion de Nisaz, Savoye Rollin, Albisson, Grenier, Delatre, Chabaud Latour. The members of the Bureau, Fobre President, Jard Panvilliers, Faure, Simeon and Arnauld, Secretaries, are to form part of this commission also.
EXTRAORDINARY SITTING.
11th Floreal, May 1.
"An extraordinary crowd of spectators this day, as yesterday, filled the Tribunes and the interior of the Hall. The sitting was opened at two o'clock.—The president intimated that Carnot being the only Tribune, whose name was inscribed against the motion, liberty of addressing the Tribunate was afforded him.
Carnot mounted the Tribune. He set out with declaring, that being to speak against the motion of Curee, he should endeavor to preserve the same moderation in delivering his opinion, which had been exhibited by the Tribunes who had spoken in favor of the motion. He added, that he referred those who wished to put a bad construction on his sentiments to the rigid examination of his conduct since the commencement of the revolution. He took up the question of conferring on Bonaparte the dignity of Emperor for life, and making it hereditary in his family. He asked if it was to grant the first Consul a reward for his services to offer him the sacrifice of liberty? He asked whether it was not to destroy Bonaparte's own work to make France his private patrimony; I voted against the Consulate for life, continued the orator, and I will not this day follow a different course. I will be consistent with myself; but the moment that the order of things which is proposed is established, I will be the first to conform to it, and to yield to the new authority proofs of my deference. May all the members of the community follow the same example! The orator then went on to the examination of the form of government proposed to be established. He cited a number of examples from the history of Rome, and drew an inference from them, that a government by one individual was not in the smallest degree a sure pledge of its stability or its tranquility. He applied the same inference to the history of France, where intestine commotions and civil discords so often existed under the government of princes, weak or unworthy of governing. After the peace of Amiens, continued Carnot, Bonaparte had the choice between a Republic or Monarchy; but he had sworn to defend the former, and respect the wishes of France, which had made him their guardian. Now it was proposed to make of that power a property, of which, at present only the Administration is possessed. The Romans were most jealous of their liberty, and Camillus Fabius and Cincinnatus only saved the country because they relinquished the power which had been confided to them after they had saved their country. But the liberty of Rome perished as soon as Cæsar wished to usurp absolute power. Carnot cited the example of the United States. It was reserved for the New World to shew to the old the practicability of a nation's enjoying liberty, and the rising prosperity of the people. The
destinies to which they appeared to be called left no doubt remaining of the existence of the truth. After discussing a variety of general principles, Carnot made some particular remarks. Will (said he) the opinion of the public functionaries be the free wish of the whole nation? Will there be no inconveniences attending the expression of an opposite sentiment? Is the liberty of the press so much restrained and degraded that it will be impossible to make in the public prints, the most respectful remonstrances against the proposed arrangement? The orator considered the question in another point of view. He asked if the expulsion of the Bourbons at all involved the necessity of a new dynasty; if the establishment of a new dynasty would not place obstacles in the way of a general peace; if it would be recognized by foreign powers and if in case of a refusal to recognize it arms would necessarily be resorted to, and for an empty title the security of the French nation would perhaps be endangered? This is not the only means which the existing Government has of consolidating itself. The means of this consists in adherence to justice. Far be it from me here to make any particular application or to cast any blame on the operations of government. Such a thought has no place in my heart. Is liberty then disclosed to man only that it may never be enjoyed? No! I cannot regard it as a mere chimera, and my heart tells me that its government is easy. In conclusion, said the orator—I am ready to sacrifice my personal opinion to the interests of my country. My respect for the laws will remain unalterable, and I desire, above all things, to see every opinion, and every sentiment united against our eternal, or implacable enemy, that enemy which is now meditating our universal oppression. I vote against the motion.
Faure next mounted the Tribune. He applied himself to the refutation of Carnot's speech. He asked if he had well manifested his respect for the law, by reminding him that he had on a preceding occasion voted against the consulship for life, sanctioned by the vote of more than a million of Frenchmen? He asked him if he had forgotten the regime of 1783 and that horrible Decemviral Committee, which cold blood signed arrests for death & proscriptions? and he was astonished at hearing of opposition to that proposition which could alone prevent the return of such miseries. We are not here to consider the interests of an individual family, but the interest of the whole nation. Here Faure entered into an examination of the state of France in 1798 and its present situation.—He enquired what were the proposition contained in the loose draught of the Constituent Assembly, and he found their completion in the form of Government which it was now proposed to establish. He supported the motion.
Arnauld began in the following terms the speech which he also delivered in favor of the motion: What is the fatality which has seized our colleague, which rendered him the passive witness of the outrages of the committees of public safety, which carries into the directory, and cannot furnish him with the means of doing good to the people, which on the 18th Fructidor renders him the victim of the events of that day, and does not permit him to perceive the share which Pichegru had in the conspiracy formed against France?
Albisson, Grenier, Chabot, (de l'Allier) Dellerre and Challand, severally spoke in favor of the promotion.
Carion Nisaz refuted the opinion of Carnot.
The tribunate ordered six copies of the opinion of the orators to be printed.
CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY.
London, May 17.
At the court of Queens' Palace, May 16.—present the king in council—the Earl of Winchelsea and lord George Thynne, were sworn of his majesty's privy council. Lord Harrowby and Earl Cambden, were sworn two of his majesty's principal secretaries of state.
On the day following Mr. Pitt, lord Louvaine, Viscount Fitzharris, Mr. Long and Mr. Henry Wellesley, were appointed commissioners for executing the office of Treasurer of the Exchequer—and lord Melville, Sir Philip Stephens, Admiral Gambier, Sir H. Neal, Admiral Colpoys, Vice Admiral Patton, and W. Dickinson Esq. were admitted commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral.
Lord Auckland retires from the office.
Mr. Pitt has now nearly finished the whole of his ministry. It is said

Mr. Wm. Dundass is to be secretary at war, Mr. Canning Treasurer of the navy, Mr. Rose joint pay-master, Lord Mulgrave, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Earl Bathurst, master of the Mint, Earl of Aylesford, Lord Stewart of the household, and Earl Moira, lord lieutenant of Ireland.
We learn from undoubted authority that Louis XVIII. King of France means to protest most solemnly, in his own name, in the name of the Bourbons, and particularly in the name of the French nation against the elevation of a foreign usurper to his majesty's throne under the title of Emperor, and to call upon all the legitimate sovereigns to defend their rank and rights.
The resolution of the French Tribunate on the subject of the assumption of the imperial dignity by Bonaparte, has been transmitted to the conservative Senate in these terms, "That Napoleon Bonaparte be declared Emperor of the French." By this act it is intended to disinherit entirely the family of the Bourbons.
Female Swindler at Vienna. From a late London Paper.
Last autumn a Lady, calling herself a Baroness, arrived at Vienna, in a brilliant equipage, attended by four men servants, and two maids. She took very elegant apartments, which she furnished in style. All her expences were paid in ready money and in gold. She was presented at Court, and in the first circles, as the widow of a Prussian Colonel immensely rich. In November she received a credit from a Banking house at Hamburgh, upon one of the first Bankers at Vienna, for 50,000 florins. Her expences and insinuating manners, with a tolerable good person, and the character of a widow in affluence, procured her numerous admirers, and a number of suitors; amongst others, several of the young nobility. She declined, however, all offers of marriage, having determined upon an eternal widowhood, in gratitude for the large fortune left her by her ever regretted husband. She went regularly to church, and to confession, was irreproachable in her conduct, and chaste in her manners and conversation. She was looked upon as a model of virtue and religion, and soon became the envy of her own sex, in becoming the admiration of the other. She was very charitable to the poor, visited often the hospitals, and subscribed largely to philanthropic institutions. The house opposite to her apartments belonged to a young man, son of a grocer, who had a very high opinion of his own person and merit, because his father had left him 300,000 florins. He addressed himself to one of her servants, to have a letter delivered to the Baroness, with an offer of his hand and fortune, but was repulsed with indignity. For a large present the same servant undertook again, though at the risk of losing his service, to carry another letter, which met with a less severe reception. The Baroness being smitten with the person of the young man, whom at last she admitted privately into her presence, and after many prayers, sighs, tears, and presents, she agreed to give him her hand next Easter; but having refused so many great people, the young man was laid under strict secrecy, and their marriage was to be celebrated at Berlin.
In December last she received a letter, importing that her younger sister was promised to a Silesian Nobleman. She consulted her secret lover, whom she had persuaded to believe that she had a fortune of 200,000 florins in the year, about the present she would make her sister on her wedding day, and it was agreed that it could not be of less value than 60,000 florins laid out in diamonds; and as she wanted to choose, the young man was desired to bring 200,000 worth from his uncle, a jeweller, whom she said she would pay in ready money for what she determined to keep.
The diamonds were brought in the evening, and left for inspection until the next day. But when the young man called at the appointed time, the servants said their mistress was ill, and could see no company before the day after; and when the duped lover then returned, he was informed that the baroness, with one of her female servants, had 48 hours before left the house—but previously left orders to declare her ill if enquired after, as she was going to the Urseline Convent to make her devotion—She had indeed been there but swindled the superior of a brilliant cross of the greatest value, which the late Empress, Maria Theresa had given to the statute of a miraculous virgin, and the baroness had borrowed it as a pattern for one she intend-
ed to give her sister. She had the same day been at her banker's, and upon pretence of buying jewels for her sister's marriage, had obtained in gold and in bank notes for bills on Hamburg, one hundred thousand florins more than she had credit for. It has since been found out that she had played the same tricks at Berlin, Dresden, and Naples. Couriers have been sent every where after her but in vain—the only information obtained is, that a lady nearly answering the description had embarked last month at Embden, either for England or for America. It is said that her desolate and deserted lover is on his way to this country, and if he can find her out, intends to forgive and marry her. She is about twenty five years of age, speaks fluently most European languages, has a fine taste for drawing, and plays the piano-forte in exquisite style.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15.
The New-York papers of Friday last, are filled with accounts of preparations making by the Citizens, to testify their respect for the memory of General ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
GENERAL HAMILTON.
NEW-YORK, JULY 14.
With emotions that we have not a hand to inscribe, have we to announce the death of ALEXANDER HAMILTON. He was ruthlessly cut off in the 48th year of his age, in the full vigor of his faculties and in the midst of all his usefulness.
We have not the firmness to depict this melancholy, heart-rending event. Now—when death has extinguished all party animosity, the gloom that overspreads every countenance, the sympathy that pervades every bosom, bear irresistible testimony of the esteem and respect all maintained for him; and assure us that an impression has been made by his loss which no time can efface. It becomes us not to enter into particulars we have no doubt, that, in compliance with the universal anxiety of the inhabitant, a statement will soon be exhibited to them containing all the circumstances necessary to form a just opinion of this tragic scene. In the mean time we offer the following letter that we have received from the Rev. Bishop Moore.—The testimony which this pious and venerable Clergyman bears to the virtues of the deceased, will we are sure not be lost on a discerning community.
As soon as our feelings will permit, we shall deem it a duty to present a sketch of the character of an ever-to-be-lamented patron and best friend.
Thursday Evening, July 12, 1804. MR. COLEMAN,
The public mind being extremely agitated by the melancholy fate of that great man, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, I have thought it would be grateful to my fellow-citizens, would provide against misrepresentation, and, perhaps be conducive to the advancement of the use of Religion, were I to give a narrative of some facts which have fallen under my own observation, during the time which elapsed between the fatal duel and his departure out of this world.
Yesterday morning, immediately after he was brought from Greenwich, a message was sent informing me of the sad event, accompanied by a request from Gen. Hamilton, that I would come to him for the purpose of administering holy communion. I went; but being desirous to afford time for serious reflection, and conceiving that under existing circumstances, it would be right and proper to avoid every appearance of precipitancy in performing one of the most solemn offices of our religion, I did not then comply with his desire. At one o'clock I was again called on to visit him. Upon my entering the room and approaching his bed, with the utmost calmness and composure he said, "My dear Sir, you perceive my unfortunate situation, and no doubt have been acquainted with the circumstances which led to it. It is my desire to receive the communion at your hands. I hope you will not conceive there is an impropriety in my request." He added, "It has for some time past been the wish of my heart, and it was my intention to take an early opportunity of uniting myself to the church, by the reception of that holy ordinance." I observed to him, that he must be very sensible of the delicate and trying situation in which
was then placed; that however desirous I might be to afford consolation to a fellow-mortal in distress; still, it was my duty, as a minister of the gospel, to hold up the law of God as paramount to all other law; and that, therefore, under the influence of such sentiments, I must unequivocally condemn the practice which had brought him to his present unhappy condition. He acknowledged the propriety of these sentiments, and declared that he viewed the late transaction with sorrow and contrition. I then asked him, "Should it please God to restore you to health, Sir, will you never be again engaged in a similar transaction? and will you employ all your influence in society to discountenance this barbarous custom?" His answer was, "That, Sir, is my deliberate intention."
I proceeded to converse with him on the subject of his receiving the Communion; and told him that with respect to the qualifications of those who wished to become partakers of that holy ordinance, my enquiries could not be made in language more expressive than that which was used by our church. "Do you sincerely repent of your sins past? Have you a lively faith in God's mercy thro' Christ, with a thankful remembrance of the death of Christ? Are you disposed to live in love & charity with all men?" He lifted up his hands and said, "With the utmost sincerity of heart I can answer those questions in the affirmative—I have no ill will against Col. Burr. I met him with a fixed resolution to do him no harm. I forgive all that happened." I then observed to him, that the terrors of the divine law were to be announced to the obdurate and impenitent; but that the consolations of the Gospel were to be offered to the humble and contrite heart; that I had no reason to doubt his sincerity, and would proceed immediately to gratify his wishes. The Communion was then administered, which he received with great devotion, and his heart afterwards appeared to be perfectly at rest. I saw him again this morning, when with his last faltering words he expressed a strong confidence in the mercy of God through the intercession of the Redeemer. I remained with him until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when death closed the awful scene—he expired without a struggle, and almost without a groan.
By reflecting on this melancholy event, let the humble believer be encouraged ever to hold fast that precious faith which is the only source of true consolation in the last extremity of nature. Let the Infidel be persuaded to abandon his opposition to that gospel which the strong, inquisitive, and comprehensive mind of a HAMILTON embraced, in his last moments, as the truth from heaven. Let those who are disposed to justify the practice of duelling be induced, by this simple narrative, to view with abhorrence that custom which has occasioned an irreparable loss to a worthy and most afflicted family; which has deprived his friends of a beloved companion, his profession of one of its brightest ornaments, and his country of a great statesman and a real patriot.
With great respect, I remain Your friend and servant, BENJAMIN MOORE.
Abraham B. Venable is elected President of the Bank of Virginia. This appointment occasions a vacancy in the Senate of the United States; and the appointment of W. C. Nicholas to the Collectorship of Norfolk occasions another vacancy. Two new Senators from Virginia will therefore be chosen by the ensuing legislature of that state.
The Paris Argus makes the following interesting remarks on the exaltation of the First Consul. They certainly speak the sentiments of the Corsican and his cabinet:
"From events which will result from this important step, some augur the approach of peace, as it will demand the hearty approbation of a certain great potentate, whose decision on the one side or the other will, doubtless, have a happy influence in settling the existing differences."
"This act is the eternal inheritance of the Bourbons, which the French people are about to pronounce. By it, they rid themselves of all apprehension and of all inquietude; they have performed nothing more solemn or more productive of universal safety. This general wish is the Finis to the history of the revolution. It has been said that, like Saturn, the revolution devoured its children; at present the ancient fable seems to be completely realized it is a child of the revolution who takes its place, without forgetting the benefits of its mother."
We cannot undertake to say, whether the Pontente alluded to be the Emperor of Germany or the Emperor Alexander, but it appears from the publications which have recently issued from the press at Berlin, that Bonaparte has obtained the sanction of his Prussian Majesty.
(Lon. Ed.)
Letters from Liverpool of May 10, date in
positive terms, that "a change in the ministry had taken place, at the head of which was Mr. Pitt. Various conjectures prevail as to the probable turn of the events in consequence of this circumstance. It is generally conceived, that a more vigorous war may be expected, commerce will experience a spring, and that additional burdens will be imposed upon the people.—With regard to continental views, nothing definitive has yet transpired. Bonaparte having made various encroachments on the neighbouring petty powers, under the pretence of the late conspiracy against his government, it is believed the more formidable nations cannot much longer endure with tameness and submission, this continued series of outrage and degradation. Upon the whole, the state of Europe at this moment is more consolatory to the advocates of regular government and order, than at any recent period."
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in Philadelphia, received by the Sally, arrived at New Bedford, dated
Liverpool, May 18.
"Mr. Pitt has returned his nation as prime minister —this gentleman is much looked up to by the nation, and will most probably have recourse to vigorous measures. The change may have a favorable effect upon our commerce. No nearer prospect of invasion."
"A new duty of 12 1/2 per cent. on the duties of all imports, cotton, wine and tea excepted, is the only article of the new taxes likely to affect the American trade."
"When political matters influence the markets, it is scarcely possible to form an opinion with any degree of accuracy. A small parcel of the new crop of Mississippi Cotton has arrived here, but the quality is not equal to that of last year; the quantity is however not enough to form an opinion of the general state of the crop. We confirm our opinion that we do not expect any difficulty about entering Louisiana Cotton at the low duties; considerable quantities of American Pork have lately arrived here and at great losses. Some parcels are again going back, as leave cannot be obtained to land it for home use, and this will be the case with other salt provisions, and of course completely defeat any attempts at shipping further quantities."
"P. S. Within these few days Cotton has been rather more enquired for, and some quantities sold at low prices. Upland Georgia is rather dear, owing to the smallness of the flock."

REANIMATION. WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident or 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 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 having used every remedy 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, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE 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 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 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 irritable, 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 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 laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kiln 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 Aches; 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 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 of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefacent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The successful 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 infallible 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 esteemed 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 sickly 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.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard. Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their laxatory operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected; by this means, in rose limbs, the area sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are 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 of Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water. A foreign remedy for all diseases of the eyes; speedily removes inflammation, dimness, itching, and films; never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener 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 eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma 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 Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit 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 instantly 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 scurvy, scrofulous 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 scrofulous 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 supercede 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 these 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 third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular and has over 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 abovementioned, 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 it as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies 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, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has had 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, hysterical vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stoppages, 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 the 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 paid on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed in order to detect counterfeits and upright preservers, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness. FOR many years have the 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 earnestly recommended to 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.
