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- scended, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now dead 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.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away.

PUBLIC SALE.
SOME of the Legatees of the late Mr. William Triplett, having objected to a di- vision of the decedant's estate, which he recom- mended in his will to be done, we, therefore, as executors, will expose to public sale, at Round Hill, his late residence, on Wednesday the 14th of December next, ALL THE ESTATE, real and personal, of which he died seized.
The ROUND HILL Tract, con- taining nearly four hundred acres, is a most de- sirable and healthy situation, on which is built a brick house one story high, fifty four feet long, and eighteen feet wide; four rooms on the lower floor, with a fire place and closets in each; and a passage eight feet wide; three rooms upstairs, two of them with fire places, a good cellar and kit- chen under the house: a framed barn, dairy, sta- bles for ten horses, carriage house, two corn houses, one granary, meat house, and quarters, well cal- culated for the accommodation of thirty negroes; an apple orchard of excellent fruit, and a garden paled in. This farm is well known to be one of most productive in the county, and now in a high and improved state, being well fenced and divid- ed into convenient fields for farming; there are eighty acres of timothy meadow, producing from eighty to one hundred tons a year; fifty acres of new meadow may be made and watered at a small expence. The crops of small grain have general- ly been from 500 to 600 bushels, and of corn 300 barrels.
Near this lies another Tract of about four hundred acres, heavily timbered with pine, oak and hickory, with good springs and fine high, healthy situations for building; the post road, from north to south, passes thro' these two tracts, which affords two excellent stands for ta- verns, and also for tan yards, being not more than eight miles from Alexandria and sixteen from Washington.
Also, another Tract lying on the main branch of Tillot's creek, about two miles from Colchester, on which Mr. William Triplett now lives, containing upwards of 100 acres; the building is a good farm house, in a healthy situa- tion, a good orchard and fine water.
At the same time and place will be sold, thirty valuable SLAVES, men, women and children; some plate, a watch, books, (among which are some valuable classics) household furni- ture, and beds of a good quality, bed and table linen, kitchen furniture, a coach and harness, one waggon and cart, farming utensils, horses, mule, one yoke of excellent oxen, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c.
The terms of sale for the land are, one third payable on the day of sale, (at which time deeds will be made the purchaser) one third in six months, and the other third in 12 months, with interest from the day of sale. A deed of trust will be taken to secure the two last pay- ments. The Negroes will be sold at 12 months credit, and the other property at a credit of nine months: for all sums over twenty dollars bonds, with approved security will be required of the purchasers.
Major George Triplett, on the re- mises, will show the land, with a correct plat survey lately made by Col. Wm. Payne, County Surveyor, at the instance of the executors. The title papers will be exhibited on the day of sale by CHALES LITTLE, } AND } Executors. GEORGE TRIPLETT, }
The sale will continue from day to day, until the property is disposed of.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. TUESDAY, October 25. DEBATE on the LOUISIANA TREATY. CONTINUED.
Mr. J. Randolph said that a sense of duty alone could have induced him to rise at that late hour. He wished to call the attention of the committee to a stipulation in the treaty of London. Here Mr. R. read an extract from the 3d article of that treaty whereby the United States are pledged not to impose on imports in British vessels from their territories in America, adjacent to the U. States, any higher duties than would be paid upon such imports, if brought into our Atlantic ports in American bottoms. In this case, he said, gentlemen could not avail themselves of the distinction taken by his friend from Maryland (Mr. Nicholson) between a territory and a state, even if they were so disposed, since the ports in question were ports of a state. The ports of New York, on the lakes, were as much ports of that state, as the city of New York, itself—They had their custom house officers, were governed by the same regulations, as other ports,—duties were exacted at them; and yet, under the article of the British treaty which had been just read, British bottoms could and did enter them subject to no higher duties than were paid by American bottoms in the Atlantic ports. Mr. R. said that he did not mean to affirm that this exemption made by the treaty of London was constitutional, so long as a distinction prevailed between American and British bottoms in other ports. He had never given a vote to carry that treaty into effect; but he hoped the gentlemen from Connecticut, both of whom he believed had done so; one of whom, at least, he knew had been a conspicuous advocate of that treaty; he hoped that gentleman (Mr. Griswold) would inform the committee how he got over the constitutional objection to this article of the treaty of London, which he had endeavored to urge against that under discussion. How could the gentleman with the opinion which he now holds, agree to admit British bottoms into certain ports, on the same terms on which American bottoms were admitted into American ports, generally? Thereby making that very difference, giving that very preference to these particular ports of certain states, which he tells us cannot constitutionally be given to the port of New Orleans; although that port is not within any state, and if his (Mr. Griswold's) doctrine be correct, not even within the United States.
The gentleman from Connecticut professed a wish that this important discussion should be conducted with moderation and candor. In this sentiment he concurred; he was therefore altogether unprepared, after this preamble, to hear the gentleman from Connecticut represent the treaty in question as conceding the most valuable commercial privileges to France and Spain, and thereby sapping the very foundation of our own carrying trade. In the spirit of candor, the stipulations in question would be viewed, not as conceding advantages in trade to those nations, but as securing them to ourselves. The article in question did indeed profess to grant, for a limited time, to French and Spanish vessels, laden with the products of their respective countries, admission into the ports of the ceded territory, on equal terms with our own ships. But although, nominally an advantage has been conceded to these nations, substantially their situation was changed for the worse, and the benefit in fact conferred on us. For what were our rights in these ports, and what were theirs, setting aside the treaty? The treaty then had rendered our situation more eligible and theirs less so. How then could gentlemen declare that it was calculated to injure our carrying trade? When by it our trade was put on the footing of absolute security; whilst that of France and Spain was admitted under considerable restrictions, enjoying in but one particular, and for twelve years only an equality with ours. Their trade, before on so superior a footing, had descended from its pre-eminence in privilege, and given way to ours. And yet gentlemen warn us of the destruction of our carrying trade, and commercial prosperity, from the very source which has enlarged and secured both. The enemies of the treaty, therefore, are the advocates of the trade of France and Spain, and the enemies, so far, of our own. Since by retaining things in their present posture, they would continue to those nations the superior advantages which they now enjoy in the ports of
Louisiana, they would continue the restrictions which heretofore have fettered our commerce to that country, and they would refuse to put our trade on a footing superior to that of France and Spain.
But whilst gentlemen endeavor to alarm us with the idea of this formidable competition, I cannot, Sir, (said Mr. R.) feel a moment's apprehension from this quarter. Exclusive of the limitation of twelve years, and the restriction that their cargoes shall be of French or Spanish growth or manufacture, who, that considered the present condition and future prospects of those countries could regard them as formidable commercial competitors? Was there not infinitely greater probability that the 3d article of the treaty of London, which had no limitation as to time, and embraced our whole frontier on the side of Canada, would enable Great-Britain to supply that frontier on terms as cheap, or cheaper, than we ourselves could?
With more candor, however, the gentleman has boldly avowed that he was among the number of those who, at the last session of Congress, were for pursuing "vigorous measures," for enforcing our rights in relation to the Mississippi.—What those vigorous measures were the House would be at no loss to determine. The gentleman had disdained to deny his principles; he would not now shrink from what he had then advocated, and Mr. R. said he applauded him for it.
Mr. Randolph said, the gentleman had laid his premises a great way off, as if from the expectation that they would not be closely examined, and that, therefore, there would be nothing to oppose to the conclusions which he had drawn from them. He had stated a case scarcely supposable, and from it inferred the very principle in question. His whole argument was founded on presuming the very principle to be granted which was in dispute. The United States, says he, cannot incorporate into the union Great Britain or France; and therefore they cannot unite to themselves the colonies of either nation. If the gentleman meant to prove the impolicy or impracticability of adding France or England to the United States, no one, he believed, was disposed to question the justice of his remark. But the position in contest was, can the United States, constitutionally, extend their limits? And this point in dispute the gentleman takes for granted by saying, that we cannot extend our dominion over England or France, and therefore cannot acquire dominion in any other country. That is, we cannot, because we cannot.
(Mr. Randolph's speech to be continued.) Translated for the American.
Extract from a Paris Paper of October 1, 1803. or 8 Vendemaire, year 12.
AN ADDRESS TO THE SEAMEN OF FRANCE.
SEAMEN! The most brilliant scene of glory is now opening before you; the army of England is assembled on the coasts; you are going to join the brave who have extended the boundaries of the Republic; they shall be ranked among you in your ships, and their presence alone shall cause our enemy to shudder at the thought of having, in so short a time, no barrier to oppose you, and of being punished, for the injuries they have too long perpetrated on us.
It was the English government that fomented our troubles in France, that sowed dissension and dissensions among the people, that squandered away their gold for the purpose of dividing the first authorities, and to disgrace our best institutions by their outrages.
It was the English government, who, to the contempt of the rights of nations, attempted to ruin the common weal, by introducing counterfeit assignats, and by altering our coin.
It was the English government, who, after being master of Toulon by the most infamous treachery, rather than by force of arms, plunged your fellow citizens into dungeons; caused those to perish, who were faithful to their country: It was the English, who, when forced to take a shameful flight, carried the flames in the magazines, in the ships, and in the houses of the citizens, in hopes to reduce that bulwark of the Republic in the Mediterranean, into a heap of ashes.
It was the English government who kindled the torches of civil war in La Vendee, in the western department, at Lyons, and in the south of France: It was that government who, mustered up, under the banner of fanaticism, credulous men who were led astray by those traitors that were sold and devoted to that government, which for ten years has constantly stirred up the fire of that cruel war, equally delighted with successes or losses, provided the blood of the French was spilt.
In short it is that government alone that prolongs the storm that still hangs over several parts of both hemispheres, and that wishes to deceive Europe by its erroneous demonstrations, and by its seeming desire for peace.
But Europe knows that this court must wish
for war, since it is by war only that it grows rich; yet it is that government who in its manifestos and stately speeches, dares to accuse France of an inimitable. But they say nothing of their having laid waste our colony of St. Domingo; or having taken without striking a blow, the colonies of Holland who were their ally: And they still pretend to retain those robberies that they call conquests! And it is the king of England who talks to the powers of Europe of the ambition of France!
But the principles of the French towards other nations are sufficiently known at present, they are no longer to be made obscure by vain allegations. When the French Republic ascertained the boundaries that were assigned to her by nature; when she repairs, in this point, the faults of the monarchy, she forms foreign conquests, now that she has attained her aim. She neither oppresses secondary nor weak powers; she has no such ideas as ruining her allies; she is faithful to her friends; she punishes her enemies, yet she hates them not: Naturally generous, she does not even hate the English nation, yet all the French agree in one point, which is, to recollect the affairs of Toulon, of Geneva, of Dunkirk, of Quiberon, of La Vendee; and they detest, abominate and abhor, the cruelty, the perfidy and the bloody machinations of the British ministry, and in the mean time deplore the inconceivable blindness by which the English suffer their treasure to be exhausted to become the flame of the world.
The French Republic shall avenge the Universe!
In order to come to this glorious point, know, Frenchmen, that more than one way offers to you! Yet the most worthy of you, and the most ready, is a descent on England: Unheard of successes have insured you to count obstacles no longer; in such an enterprise the name of our arms alone is the promise of triumph, and the justice of the cause the guarantee of it. This is no longer the time for insulting the projects of a descent, or of discussing the means of effecting it. The French are now come to such a point as to shew that their WILL is victory. Now then, let the army of England go, and dictate peace in London: There, republicans, you shall find auxiliaries; there also you shall find numbers of men whom reason has not so far deserted, not to feel the odium that their government pours upon the British; and there, in short, you shall find those thousands of generous men who strive, since long, to bring about a parliamentary reform. There again you shall find numbers of those workmen who breathe after peace, whom war, by being prolonged, shall reduce to misery, and who already weigh in the balance of their actual wants, the gilded deception of their royal harangues, the illusion of their manifestos, and the chimerical ideas of their conquests: You shall also find the Irish nation, oppressed since so many years, crushed under the weight of the chains of a court that feeds on the sweat of their brow, quenches its thirst in their blood, and at the same time insulting them in their despair.
Brave warriors! Go on these auspices, and second the unanimous wish of the nation, led by the first magistrate of the republic—by the hero who so often shewed you the way to victory. The acclamation of every just and virtuous being in the world shall be yours: Go, and hasten to re-establish the liberty of the seas.—In fine, force to come again within just limits, the unwarrantable ambition of a government that disturbs its own country, as well as the universe. Secure the peace and tranquility of the French Republic, and that of Europe. Such is the grand object which remains for you to fulfil! And, since, in this very moment, the British government, coolly smiling, with a ferocious smile on the distresses of the continent applauds itself of its opulence, force that government, in conformity with justice, to acquit its share of the expences of a war which alone it wishes to perpetuate.
The republic has but one opinion—one voice for a descent on England. It is the cry of all the French. What glory is promised to the army of England! It suffices to shew it to the brave who compose that army! To inflame our warriors with an invincible enthusiasm, there needs but to recall to them what they have already accomplished! The walls of the strongest places tell before them; the first captains have not been able to resist them. They made BENDER prisoner at Luxembourg, and WURMSER at Mantua: By their valor the French standard flies on the borders of the Rhine and on the Egean sea. After so many victories, what speeches, what words could add any thing to the ardor of the French soldiers! It suffices to them to hear the voice of their country and to call to mind their own exploits!
From the Wilmington Mirror.
We copy the following tender and pathetic Letter on the death of a child, from the London Universal Magazine, for June 1768, should any of our readers unfortunately be in a situation similar to that described by the author, they will no doubt derive consolation from a perusal of this elegant performance.
LETTER. THERE is a nestling worm in every flower along the path of life, and while we admire the spreading leaves and unfolding blossom, the traitor often consumes the root, and all the beauty falls. This my frequent theme will continue. I believe, until my eyes are shut upon this world, and I repose on a bed of dust. Ye borderers on the grave, the child of sorrow can teach you to tremble over every blessing you enjoy. I have undergone one of the severest trials human nature

experience. I have seen a dear, a beloved child, the little companion of all my hours of leisure, the delight of my eyes, the pride of my heart, struggling in agonies of pain, while I poured over him my tears and my prayers to heaven in vain. I have seen him dying, dead—coffined—I have kissed him in his shroud—I have taken the last farewell—I have heard the bell call him to the silent vault. I am stabbed to the heart, etc. to the brain. Hæret lateri lethale acutum. Virg.
With what tender care was the boy nursed! How often has he been the phasing burthen of my arms! What hours of anxiety for his welfare have I felt! What enheartening amusements for him have I found! Amiable was his person sensible was his mind! All who saw, loved him—all who knew him admired a genius which outran his years. The sun no sooner arose than it was set. No sooner was the flower opened than it was cut down. My mind eagerly resolves every moment of past joy. All the parental affections rush like a torrent and overwhelm me.—Wherever I go I seem to hear him, to see him and lose him.
What does this world present but a long walk of misery and desolation? In tears man is born—in agonies he dies. What fills up his interval? Momentary joys and lasting pains. Every wish must often wish to have his curtain dropt, and the scene of vanity and vexation closed. To see a church yard is a pleasing walk. My feet often draw towards the graves, where all the connections of this world cease, and where the weary are at rest. I praise, with Solomon, the dead who are already dead, more than the living who are yet alive.
I will call reason and religion to my aid.—Prayers and tears cannot restore my child; and to God who made us we must submit—Perhaps, he is snatched in mercy from impending woe. In life he might have been miserable; in death he must be happy. I will not think him dead—I will not consider him confined in the vault, or mouldering in the dust, but risen, clad with true glory and immortality; gone to regions of eternal day, where he will never know the loss of parents, or of a child; gone above the reach of sorrow, vice or pain. That little hand, which was so busy to please here, now holds a cherub's harp. That voice, which was music to my ears, warble sweet symphonies to our universal Father, Lord and King. Those feet, which ran to welcome me from toil, and my arms received, while I held him up, and for the blessing, used to thank my God, now traverse the starry pavement of the heavens. The society of weak, impure, unhappy mortals is exchanged for that of powerful, pure, blessed spirits; and his fair brow is encircled with a never fading crown.
Shall I then grieve, that he, who is become an angel, grew not to be a man? Shall I drag him from the skies? Wish him in the vale of sorrow? I would not, my dear boy, interrupt thy bliss. It is not for thee, but for myself I weep. I speak as if he were present. And who can tell, but that he sees and hears me? "Are there not ministering spirits?" And our great Milton says, "Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth, Unseen, both when we sleep and when we wake." Perhaps even now, he hovers over me with rosy wings—dictates to my heart, and guides the hand that writes.
The consideration of the sorrows of this life, and the glories of the next is our best support. Dark are the ways of Providence, while we are wrapt up in mortality; but, convinced there is a God, we must hope and believe, that all is right.
May the remainder of my days be spent in a faithful discharge of the duty I owe to the Supreme Disposer of all events! I am but as a pilgrim here, have trod my rough paths, and drank many bitter cups. As my days shorten, may the sun of righteousness brighten over me, till I arrive at the New Jerusalem, where tears are wiped away from every eye, and sorrow is no more! May I descend into the grave in peace! May I meet my angel boy at the gate of death; may his hand conduct me to the palace of eternity; and may we there be enraptured in the bosom of everlasting love!
NEW YORK, Dec. 10. Mr. Thomas Walden, who came passenger in the ship Aspasia from Amsterdam, has obliging favored us with a file of London papers to the 25th October.
He informs us that the ship Abeona, Gallop, from Baltimore, arrived at Amsterdam on the 8th October, with Mr. Bourne, the American Consul on board.
The Dutch had about 7 or 8 vessels of war in commission lying in the Texel Roads and at Amsterdam, where several others were building, besides near 25 flat bottomed boats, for the expedition against England. Admiral De Winter was at Amsterdam. There were not many troops in the city or its vicinity. Trade was at a stand, and the Dutch very desirous of peace.
PHILADELPHIA, December 10. Yesterday arrived, the ship Fanny, captain Larke, 92 days from the Isle of France. Capt. Larke, informs that they had not heard of the war between France and England at the Isle of France, at the time of his sailing; that two French ships of the line and 6 or 7 frigates arrived there some time before he sailed, who it was said came from France, with a body of French troops to take possession of Pondicherry, agreeable to the treaty of Amiens; but on their arrival, the British refused to give them possession; that after laying in the road some time waiting orders, they received dispatches from the Governor of the Isle of France, on which they cut their cables, and returned to the Isle of France, where they landed 2,000 French troops who were waiting further orders from France.
and will embrace the first opportunity of throwing off the yoke.
Alexandria Daily advertiser. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13.
Extract of a letter from a respectable character in the Indiana Territory, dated November 22.
"I was lately at Detroit making arrangements for the conveyance of the mail.
It is a bad country for the mail to be carried through;—But I believe there is no better route by which it can go to the same place;—and in case the subject should come before you, I would take leave to refer you to a report which I have made upon it to the Post-Master General. It would I conceive be very impolitic to discontinue the route, as it is the only channel of communication that the people there have with the rest of the union, and almost the only particular evidence which they have of their belonging to it. Their present connection with the Indiana territory, is a most vexatious and discouraging one. They scarcely ever see the judges, and almost all civil suits after being determined at Detroit are carried to port Vincennes. They are anxious for a separate government; and though they are but few in number, amounting I think to about 5,000, they ought to have it:—for without it they cannot enjoy the advantages common to other American citizens.
Their peculiar situation in a political view likewise calls for it. It would tend to weaken British influence, and to strengthen the population there. It would have a happy effect on the minds of the Indians, as a regular government organized and operating there would increase their respect for the United States. If wisely administered it would also conciliate the French, and in time create in them an attachment to the American republic. Nine tenths of the population consist of these people,—but they have none of the feelings of Americans.
But perhaps, there is no part of our territory where greater circumspection would be requisite in the appointment of a chief magistrate and of other public officers.
He should be a man attached to the people of America and to the government upon principle—but without that sectarian vehemence or narrow national spirit, which excites alarm, and creates opposition were it should be the study to conciliate esteem. He should be active in promoting public improvements, and affording to the inhabitants a feeling of the benefits of government. They have now no roads, no bridges, no schools. Not one man in an hundred can speak a word of English. This creates a wall of separation which should be broken down. A school conducted by a Catholic who speaks the English language should be established in every settlement. One at the river Reisin, one near Stoney creek, one near the Wyandot town, one between the river Rouge and the river Ecoste, and one or two at Detroit will be sufficient. Their land titles, which stand upon four different foundations, ought to be speedily examined into and established. More land should be purchased from the Indians, and encouragement given to actual settlers upon more liberal terms than in any other part of the union. The country is not inviting;—but it is notwithstanding a fine country for raising stock; and it is of infinite importance to exhibit to the Indians by means of an increasing population in that quarter, a monument at their own doors of the growing power of the United States, and to counteract any aims, which, in the fluctuation of political relations, may be grounded either on the jealousy of the English settlers or the disaffection of the French.
It depends, in short, upon the measures of Congress, and upon the character and spirit of the government which may be established there—whether the territory on the lakes shall be a source of wealth and security, or a mere dead weight on the United States. Should it on the one hand, be placed under the guidance, of a quiet inactive chief magistrate who cares for nothing in his office but its powers and emoluments; or on the other hand should it be subject to the rule of a noisy demagogue, the slave of national prejudices—who feels no sentiment but self admiration, & knows no principle but that of bowing to the source of power and honour wherever it may exist;—in either case—the people will continue to regard themselves as subjects, instead of learning to feel as citizens,

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 Antiasmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; At- kinson's Essence of Mustard; Scabious 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 what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secre- tion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its purulent qua- lities, 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, deserv- ing the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible rea- son, that can result from long and extensive expe- rience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the pre- valence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stage of these fevers, their use will very generally suc- ceed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of com- mon remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situa- tion and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to appre- hend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
MATRIMONY.
IT is, much to be regretted but indispensably certain, that many persons of both sexes are deterred from enter- ing into the married state, by Secret Infirmitates, 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, with which which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that those circum- stances 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 im- mediately diffuse 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 languid, the circulation languid, and the faculties palsied, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exaltate the animal spirits, invigorate the body and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to ex- ercise, loss of depravity of appetite, and palled countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved 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 under- standing, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering decline, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretch- ed 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 im- paired memory, anxiety, agitation, tremours, languor, paleness, emaciation, inattention, apathy in men; hyste- rics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abor- tion, pains in the back, chest, &c. in women; these Lozen- ges will restore health and vigour 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 pe- netrating 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 Essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily fed on the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sen- sation; it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a cir- culation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the liver, kidneys and bowels, old strains and an- luxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signa- ture of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bot- tle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genu- ine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease by one application, to many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Tho- mas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the Eyes; spec-
dily removes inflammation, dimness, itching, and films; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently suc- ceed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unpa- ralleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventive of the predisposi- tion to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India Islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S  Antiasmatic 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 perspira- tion that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convul- sive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strength- ening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, af- fecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. As- thmas and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping-cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief; nor can it be admini- stered at an improper season.
Dr. 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 presumpti- on in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arise- ing from whatever cause, or however violent, in- stantly submit to its penetrating powers. This in- valuable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had fail- ed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby procures the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestion- ably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of her efficacy, authenticated by per- sons of character and respectability are open to the ex- amination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and 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 Lo- zenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but ef- fectually 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 commu- nic, 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 per- formed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them ac- cording to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offen- sive matter; the second brought away four monstrous 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
Re-animating 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 force, by a natural in- ference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant re- medies 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, faith-  fully prepared at the original warehouse, Lon-  don.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hun- dred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, surfeits, hysteric vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stop- ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknow- ledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor hath reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be patted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeiters and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bit- ters; and in order to impose their trash on the pub- lic, they sometimes copy a part of the true adver- tisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS of HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are ear- nestly recommended to a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copy our directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
