ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good cloathing, a description of which is unneces- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. John Muta, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.
Captains of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away. ROBERT B. JAMESSON. Nov. 18.

Accompanying the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE and RICHARD PETERS.
(Continued.)
George Read, attorney of the United States of America, in and for the Delaware district, residing in the town of New Castle in the said district, aged 37 years and upwards, being produced, sworn, and examined on the annexed interrogatories exhibited on the part of the House of Representatives of the said United States, in the matter depending before the committee of the House of Representatives, instituted to enquire into the official conduct of Samuel Chase, and Richard Peters Esquires or either of them, pursuant to a commission issuing forth in that behalf, directed to Nehemiah Tilton, and Archibald Alexander, of the county of New Castle, Gentlemen or either of them, before the said Archibald Alexander, one of the said commissioners, deposeth as followeth.
1. To the first interrogatory this deponent saith, that he was present in the character of district attorney of the United States of America, in and for the Delaware district, at a circuit court of the said United States, held at New Castle, on the 27th and 28th days of June, one thousand eight hundred, in and for the said district, by, and before Samuel Chase one of the judges of the supreme court of the said United States, and Gunning Bedford, district judge of the United States, aforesaid for the said district.
2. To the second interrogatory this deponent saith, that he was present in court, on the first day of the said court, mentioned in this deponent's answer to the first interrogatory, when the grand jury, then and there attending, after having received a charge from the said Samuel Chase as presiding judge, retired to their room, and also when they returned to the bar of the said court.
3. To the third interrogatory this deponent saith, that the grand jury through their foreman, upon being asked by the clerk the question stated in the third interrogatory, did answer, that they had found no bills of indictment nor had any presentments to make.
4. To the fourth interrogatory this deponent saith, that the said Samuel Chase, did, on receiving the answer from the grand jury, mentioned in this deponent's answer to the "third interrogatory," observe to that body in his hearing: "That he had been informed or heard a highly seditious temper or disposition had manifested in the state of Delaware, among a certain class of people, particularly in New Castle county, and more especially in the town of Wilmington, where lived a most seditious printer, unrestrained by any principle, of virtue and regardless of social order—That the name of the printer was"—(Here the learned judge paused for a moment, and observed)—"Perhaps it might be assuming too much to mention the name of this person, but it becomes your special duty, and you must enquire diligently into this matter." That although this deponent will not undertake to say that every word, as here set forth, is precisely what the honorable judge expressed; yet he is perfectly convinced that the language is, for the most part, what was used by the said judge, and the ideas conveyed by him at the time, precisely what the context imports.
5. To the fifth interrogatory this deponent saith, that several members of the grand jury on the behalf of themselves and their brethren, did, as soon as the said judge had closed the observations detailed in the answer to the fourth interrogatory, then and there earnestly requested the court to dismiss them from further attendance on that duty, mentioning to the court, as a reason for the request, that they were generally farmers, and it being the season of harvest, their personal attention was most requisite on their farms—to which the judge replied, "that the business to which he had called their attention, was of a most urgent and pressing nature and must be attended to, that he could not therefore discharge them until the ensuing day, when further information should be communicated to them on the subject he had referred to,"—or words to that effect—but this deponent did not at the time hear the judge say that his detaining the grand jury was for the purpose of examining a file of papers published by the said printer.
6. To the sixth interrogatory this deponent saith, that immediately after the conversation mentioned in the answer to the fifth interrogatory had been terminated,
the said Samuel Chase addressed himself to this deponent, who then was also the district attorney for the said district, and asked him whether he had any criminal charge to prefer to the grand jury; to which this deponent replied, that no indictable offence had come to his knowledge—and he had no reason to believe, that any business of such sort could occur as would require the attendance of the jury during the term—but certainly, Sir, observed judge Chase, you might, by pursuing proper researches, make some discoveries. Have you no persons in this (Delaware) state who have made it a uniform practice to libel the administration of the government of the United States; I have been told, Sir, (continued judge Chase,) and the general circulation of the report induces me to believe it true, that there is a printer in Wilmington, who publishes a most scandalous and seditious paper—but it will not do to mention names—have you not two printers in that town? To which this deponent answering in the affirmative, judge Chase further observed, that is so, and one of them, if report does not much belie him, is a seditious printer and must be taken notice of: I consider it a part of my duty and it shall, or must be noticed. And it is your duty, Mr. Attorney, to examine minutely and unremittingly into affairs of this nature—the times, Sir, require that this seditious spirit which pervades too many of our presses should be discouraged and repressed. Can you not procure some of this printer's papers, between this time and tomorrow morning, and by strictly examining them, find out whether he has not been guilty of libelling the government of the United States, or some of the officers thereof. This I say, Sir, must be done—I think it's your duty. That this deponent not approving of the manner in which this subject was pressed upon him, then stated to the judge in substance, that he was well acquainted with the duties of his office, and would certainly perform them, but that he had never been in the practice of hunting out offences; that he had not in his possession the papers alluded to by the honorable judge, nor had he read them; if, however, this deponent should be furnished with them, he would make the examination and communicate with the grand jury on the subject. Judge Chase then said he was satisfied, and turning to the grand jury observed, that they could not be discharged, and however inconvenient it was, they must attend on the subsequent day at the usual hour. Judge Chase then directed that a file of the said papers should be procured and laid before this deponent.—The newspaper, the files of which were referred to, was then understood to be, that which was styled "Mirror of the Times and General Advertiser;" but the deponent does not recollect that this title of the paper was at the time mentioned by judge Chase; and this deponent further saith, that a file of the said newspapers was procured by some person in the afternoon of that day, after the adjournment of the court, and delivered to him—that after examining the file of papers for some time, he discovered no libelous matter or any publication coming within the provisions of the sedition law—that this deponent, conformable to the directions of the judge, sent on the next morning, the said file of papers to the grand jury then assembled in their room.
7. To the seventh interrogatory this deponent saith, that the said grand jury did after examining the said file of papers, return into the said court, then convened, and in answer to the usual questions put by the clerk, said through their foreman, that they had not agreed on any bill, nor had they any presentments to make.
8. To the eighth interrogatory this deponent saith that soon after the said court had convened on the morning of the second day of the said term, this deponent at the request of the grand jury attended in their room—when the foreman of the jury directing the attention of this deponent to a certain paragraph, in a publication contained in one of the said papers, dated the 21st of June, 1800, and republished from the "Aurora," (a true copy whereof is contained in schedule A, annexed to these answers, and to which the deponent refers) reflecting in very strong and pointed language on former conduct of judge Chase,—observed there is a difference of opinion among the members of this body, with regard to the nature of that paragraph, whether libelous or not, and although it were a libel, whether it would be proper for the grand jury to present it as such to the circuit court—to which this deponent answered—that he had adverted to the paragraph the preceding day, and further observed, it would not be necessary for him to give an opinion to the jury, whether it were libelous or not, for that in whatsoever light it might be considered, the said court could take no cognizance of the matter of it, as it was not within the provisions of the sedition law, that law not embracing cases of libelous publications against the judges of the court of the United States, and so not being cognizable as an offence
by these courts by virtue of any act of Congress, the said circuit court could not take cognizance of it, as an offence at common law; judge Chase himself having decided in the circuit court, for the District of Pennsylvania, that the courts of the United States could not take cognizance of offences at common law; in the case of the United States of America against Worrel, 2d Dallas's Reports, 384, with which the grand jury declaring themselves satisfied, this deponent left them and returned into court, and the said file of papers being soon after sent and laid on the table within the bar of the court; judge Chase observing it asked the deponent what had been done, and whether he or the grand jury had discovered any seditious publications, to which the deponent answered, none of that character which the said court could take cognizance of, unless the said paragraph, which this deponent then submitted to the inspection of judge Chase, were of that nature; and after he had read it, this deponent repeated to the said court the same observations herein before stated to have been made by him to the grand jury on the subject, with which the said court acquiescing the business was passed over with much apparent good humour on the part of judge Chase; and the grand jury soon after returning to the bar, were discharged by the court, without finding any bills or making any presentments.
9. To the ninth interrogatory this deponent saith, it containing only matter of reference to the eighth interrogatory, is already answered by the answer to that interrogatory.
10. To the tenth interrogatory this deponent saith, that he doth not remember to have heard judge Chase (at any time) make use of any expressions of the nature alluded to in this interrogatory.
G. READ.
The preceding answers to the interrogatories annexed, were duly taken, sworn to, and subscribed by George Read the deponent, on the thirty first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and four, before
ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER.
Schedule (A) referred to, in G. Read's answer to the eighth interrogatory.
Extract from the Newspaper titled the Mirror, &c. printed at Wilmington, of the date June 21, 1800.
"For this time we shall dismiss Mr. Pickering, because we have about forty other friends of regular government to bring in review, and to account for themselves before the public, whom they have so long disgracefully flattered while they betrayed."
"Judge Chase has laid down a doctrine which must cover him with infamy as durable as the history of the man and the transaction—he held up the doctrine that public records were not to be brought forward in a court of justice, though they were alleged to contain truths, which would benefit the country, expose the hostility of persons to the government, or prevent abuses; If this judge's doctrine were to be tolerated, the servants of the people might forever hide the most enormous abuses. We are therefore determined to face the doctrine of this arbitrary judge and to stand upon the ground of justice and the decision of the people, who have the power of depriving these men of power, who have abused or proved incompetent to the discharge of their trust."
"We hope the day is not far off, when Judge Chase will be impeached for this and other arbitrary acts of his"
(To be continued.)
LONDON, January 26.
It is now pretty clearly ascertained, that the rumor of an immediate war with Spain, arose from mistake it not from willful misrepresentation—The letter of Mr. Frere, on which the whole supposition was founded, appears to have been written during the negotiation between Spain and France, and of course before the former power had the means of offering us even that imperfect neutrality, with which it is perhaps our interest to be contented. The date of Mr. Frere's note had the same relation to the neutrality of Portugal which was not assented to by France till the bargain for that of Spain was concluded.
Real readings—Every hour for the last six months, England has been amused with accounts of "the French being quite ready." It may now be asked, for what? A gentleman who lately left France gives this doubt, telling us the French are in the state they mention; the merchants are all ready to break. The peasants are all ready to starve. The sailors are all ready to leave their ships. The army is nearly ready to mutiny: and the desperate Chief Counsel, after all his threats, is ready to find an excuse for flaying at home.
From Bilbao, Dec. 27.
On the 21st. inst. Mr. Hopkinson, received a letter from Mr. B. Frere, brother and secretary to the minister of Great Britain, at Madrid, of which the following is a copy:
Madrid, Dec. 17.
"Sir, "I am directed by his Majesty's Minister at this Court, to request that you will recommend all his majesty's subjects in your district, to take such precautions as they may deem advisable in the event of a rupture between the two courts."
"I am, &c."
(Signed) B. FRERE. "WM. HOPKINSON, Esq."

We were favored with the perusal of a letter yesterday from Martinique, which mentions that on the 8th ult. a British tender of 18 guns was blown up by accident off St. Pierres, and it was supposed every soul perished.
(N. York Gaz.)
A letter from Paris received via London, dated January 2, mentions, that the ratification of the Louisiana treaty of the 30th of April (on the part of the United States) had arrived at Paris; but that the American Minister had withheld, for a short time, issuing Bills of Exchange until the different American claims had passed all the requisite formalities.
By the brig George, Landon, from Bordeaux, (a New York paper,) we have received a copy of Paris papers to the middle of December. They afford nothing politically interesting, except the evidence of great preparation throughout the French coast for the defence on England; and that this circumstance produces a considerable stagnation to Commerce.
FRENCH PROCLAMATION.
The following Proclamation, which appeared in a morning paper, is said to be intended to accompany the French invading army. We give it to our readers without comment, leaving it to them to attach to it what degree of credit they think it deserves.
ORDER NO. 39.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
ARMY OF ENGLAND.
LIBERTY. EQUALITY. Head-quarters of the Centre, at —, the — of the month of —, year —, of the French Republic. The Gen. of Division —, to his companions in arms:—
SOLDIERS!
The sea is passed! The boundaries of Nature have yielded to the genius and the fortune of the hero, the saviour of France; and naughty England already groans under the yoke of her conquerors!
London is before you! that Peru of the Old World is your prey. Within 20 days I plant the tri-coloured flag on the proud walls of her execrable Tower! March! The road to victory is open. In order to render that happy victory certain and inevitable, your commander here offers you some advice, brave centre, at the same time that he renews, upon the enemy's soil, the sacred promises that you have already twice received from the august head of the state. I know that there are amongst you some who are intriguers and fomenters of disturbance, and I shall know how to punish such. I know also, the pretexes, which malice will employ to seduce you from your duties, and from the path of honour—No, my children! it is not with a view to deprive you of your rewards that we exact of you a temporary and short forbearance, which military prudence and the force of circumstances demand. It is not to defraud you of the gifts awarded to you by Bonaparte, that we point out to you the only course by which you can attain the enjoyment of them. Once more I pledge the faith of Government, which only reserves to itself, among the enormous treasures that you are on the eve of conquering, the arms and fleets of the enemy; while it designates their monuments of the arts to decorate the temples of the capital of the world, and to become an eternal record of your victories. Towns, fields, provisions, cattle, gold and silver—I abandon ALL to you! Occupy those noble mansions, those smiling farms. The properties, the families of your enemies, are all your own; all is destined for your wealth, or for your enjoyment. An impure race rejected by Heaven, and which has dared to be the enemy of Bonaparte, will expiate its crimes by disappearing from the earth. Yes, I swear to you, that you shall soon become terrible!
What does malice intend? only require from you the forbearance of some few days, and caution you not to be deceived by the artifice which the wisdom of the Consul has contrived, to enslave the credulous natives of that miserable country. True, I have proclaimed protection and safety; I have promised to pay for provisions; rape, plunder, and devastation are prohibited under pain of death. Soldiers! woe to the wretch who, for the premature indulgence of his vengeance, or his passions shall dare to commit the public vengeance on the fortunes of a I. Every thing has its season. Caste, divide, disarm that immense population, which despair alone can render invincible. This is the object for which, at the present instant, all efforts and all wishes should concur. This is the object prescribed by the providence of government, and the safety of the army.
Soon—and the hour of a just retribution already strikes—the signal shall be given:—expect in the posture of the tiger, and observe also his silence; then spring upon your prey, give way to your feelings, take your enjoyments, and gather, without risk, the mellow fruits of victory; all will then become your duty, except senseless pity equally unjust to your country, and cruel to injured humanity. May the enemy of France perish to his foundation! May the name of England be lost and forgotten! Know, that Heaven and the First Consul have conspired for its ruin and total oblivion. Then may the guilty island, formerly wrested by the sea from France, purged from the monsters that infest it, return within its legitimate boundaries, having expiated its numberless crimes. May it be regenerated by the master stroke of Policy, that can only render it worthy of becoming once more a portion of the continent, and a Province of France. Perhaps its proud conquerors may not disdain to carry to it their generous race. Perhaps they may derive a sentiment of joy, from compelling the wives and daughters of the conquered, to give Frenchmen to France!
Soldiers, the country is your own! My brave companions, let those inhabit it who will! It is Bonaparte himself who gives me authority to ensure to every one who desires to reside in these beautiful plains as a faithful colonist of France, a house, furniture and lands—in short, a lot splendid and secure. All those who shall prefer to return to their native homes, shall be henceforth exempted from every species of service, parochial or military. They shall, moreover, be permitted to carry off without molestation, every article of which they may be respectively possessed at the disbanding of the army, (which shall take place immediately after the conquest) not excepting the women of the enemy, whom they may honor with their partiality.
Finally, my brave brethren in arms and fortune, I can with safety swear to you, that there shall not be found one in the army unprovided for, or discontented; and that your riches and your pleasures joined to the respective rank and brevets of honor, which are designed for you, shall fill up the measure of your recompence—a recompence worthy your noble achievements, and such as Bonaparte will not blush to present to you.
Remain then assured of all these benefits, dutifully obeying the orders of your commanders; delivering up those who may attempt to foment disturbance amongst you; and observing the strictest discipline and duty in the presence of the enemy.

A bill was lately before the Legislature of Pennsylvania to divorce a woman from her husband—A member who made a long speech in favor of it, concluded by hoping it would pass, for he understood that the husband had been dead some years.
One of a coroner's jury upon the body of a man who had drowned himself, was asked what the verdict was. "Fets de se", was the reply. "Fell into the sea! (said the inquirer,) why, it was well known he jumped in."
Philadelphia, March 14.
Yesterday arrived the fch. Jefferson, Capt. Bellows, from Martinique. Capt. B. informs, that American Produce was low and Colonial Produce scarce. The morning he failed, the Commodore sent in a Proclamation to the Capt. General, informing him that the agreement entered into to allow open boats of a certain burthen to pass and repass, being broken by planters, &c. who instead of confining their boats to the carrying of only 10 bds. had undecked the most of their coasters, and carried on a very extensive trade; and also, that he had taken possession of part of the Island, having fortified himself within 1200 yards of the main shore, and the Capt. General having attacked him on the evening of the 7th ult. he declares the Island in a state of siege, and for the more effectually to carry it into effect, he has determined to raise the siege of Gaudaloupe, to closely besiege the Island of Martinique, and that all persons are to take notice, as he shall act accordingly. The Capt. General had taken his passage on board of a very fine National Brig, which the English cut out the night before, he was to sail from France. He is, they said, superceded by General Ennoff, who commands at Gaudaloupe; and it is expected, will, on his arrival, find away all the English and a great number of the inhabitants which has caused a great fermentation, and put a stop in a great measure to business.

ROBERT and JOHN GRAY HAVE JUST RECEIVED, From Messrs. Stokes and Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Mount Pleasant, New York, and for sale at their book store, King Street, A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, -CONSISTING OF-
Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Asue and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Ache; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills, For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Patria Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what 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 putrescent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an 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.
MATRIMONY.
It is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many persons of both sexes are deterred from entering into the married state, by secret infirmities, which delicacy forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few who being already married, are rendered miserable for want of those tender pledges of mutual love, without which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by general or partial relaxation or weakness in either sex; and it is equally certain that the genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffuse themselves like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilarate the animal spirits, invigorate the body and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and palled countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preferred and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret sensuality, debilitated his body, and impaired his understanding, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretched dissolution amidst the agonizing reflections of conscious guilt. When the sons and daughters of dissipation have brought on themselves debility, relaxation, imbecility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by impaired memory, anxiety, agitation, tremours, languor, paleness, emaciation, indigestion, apathy in men; hysteria, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abortion, pains in the back, chest, &c. in women; these Lozenges will restore health and vigor to the debilitated frame, and cheerfulness and animation to the mind.
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 signature of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each packet, 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 salutary 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, frozen limbs, the severest 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 hundreds having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name 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 Eye; spee-
dily removes inflammations, dimness, stichings, and it 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 preventive 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 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 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 Ache.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumptuous in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Ache, 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 insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head ache.
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, 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 persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. The families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant,
March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for the last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the 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 ever since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for 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, Cholice and Dementia.
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 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 recommend, as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price, 1 dollar and 1 dollar 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, urfets, hysterie vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stoppages, bilious fevers, sick fish, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and upstart pretenders, 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 a part of the true advertisement 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 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.

WHEREAS
my two tracts of land in the county of King George known by the name of Eagles Nest and Somerset, which have for many years past, with the slaves, stock of every kind, furniture and plantation utensils thereon, been under the management of Benjamin Grymes, (and which were lent by me to him, for the support of his family during his life) having in consequence of his decease reverted to me; and it being my wish that all his just debts should be discharged as fast as the money can be raised, either from the profits of the above named Estates, or by a sale of such of the perishable property as can best be spared. It is my request that all who have claims against the late Benjamin Grymes will bring them in fairly stated, and legally authenticated as soon as they conveniently can, either to Mr. William Fitzhugh Grymes who resides at Eagle Nest or to me in Alexandria. And it is also my request, that all persons who are indebted to the deceased, or to the said estate, will discharge their balances as soon as possible, either to W. F. Grymes, or to me.
William Fitzhugh.
