Printing in all its variety executed at this office with neatness and dispatch.

Lewis was almost constantly engaged for several days, in performing the Presidential honors to Paine, in showing him the City and procuring lodgings—for even this was attended with no small difficulty, backed as it was by the whole weight of Presidential influence. There were many who thought and acted as Americans, and would not receive such an inmate as Paine. The day after Paine's arrival, all ceremony being waived, he dined with the President. This familiar and easy intercourse was kept up by these loving friends, and Paine was almost a constant guest at the table of our Chief Magistrate, the successor and professing friend of Washington. He dined with all the heads of the departments, and all those in and about Washington, over whom the President had any influence. With all these facts staring us in the face, can it be called a "twisting reference," to say that there is a cordial friendship subsisting between Mr. Jefferson and Paine, founded on and cemented by the similarity of their religious and political principles? There are no doubt many honest men of the democratic party, who, with Doctor Baker, "disclaim the association and despise the principles" of Paine. But this is no proof that their sentiments accord with those of the government. The variance between professions and actions, between principles and practice, has become so familiar with our rulers, that it ceases to excite wonder. The admirers of Mr. Jefferson and his professed principles, from an anxious desire to approve, frequently suffer themselves to be led away, by the most flimsy pretences, and bold assertions. Let any man lay aside his prejudices, and calmly reflect on the conduct of Mr. Jefferson and his particular friends and dependants, and then say, what they have been entirely uninfluenced by the principles and sentiments of Paine. No individual could have attracted such assiduous and respectful attention, greater than any man in the United States ever experienced from our present rulers, without his having gained their esteem and admiration. They could not have feared his influence or talents. By what other motive could they then be directed but love. We will carry this question home, by asking Doctor Baker, if anything would have tempted him to act the same part? We readily undertake to answer for him. No. Why? Because he despised the man and his principles. What then but love and respect could have influenced the conduct of those who acted differently?

NEWBURYPORT, May 7.
Capt. Rutherford, of the brig Lucy, arrived on Thursday evening, informs that he spoke 4 days since, in lat. 39, an English ship, 33 days from London, for N. York, the captain of which informed him that WAR WAS EXPECTED, (but not actually declared) previous to his sailing: and that 70 sail of British ships were ready for sea.
NEW YORK, May 12.
Capt. Merry, of the ship Young Eagle, arrived yesterday from Belfast, put into Lochram (Scotland) and sailed from thence on the 4th April. He got there an Edinburgh paper of the 2d, which has been lost or mislaid on the passage. This paper stated the increasing probability of War: but no declaration of that event had taken place when captain Merry failed.
May 13.
Captain Gould, who arrived at Salem on Sunday, in the brig Catharine, in 38 days from Bourdeaux, informs, that when he left there, transports were fitting out for St. Domingo, and that there was a heavy press to man them. Capt. G. also informs that the probability of war between France and England was still great. Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, to a gentleman in Salem, dated March 30th, received per the Catharine.
"War between this country and Great Britain has been very much spoken of and expected, for these few days past: we however, hope here that matters will be soon amicably arranged." In a postscript to the same letter, it is also added, "That there is every probability of an immediate war with England. All West India produce on the rise."
A letter of the 31st March has been received by the above vessel, put on board at the moment of her departure, which mentions that the probability of war had become greater; and that an offer had been made to the agent of the cop-
per bottomed ship America, of Salem, (formerly the French corvette la Blonde) for the purchase of that vessel, tho' she had left the harbour a few days before, a dispatch boat was sent off immediately to overtake her if possible, and order her to return to port. The boat came up with her just as she was getting under way in the river. It is supposed she has been purchased with the design of fitting her out as a privateer. One of her officers arrived at Salem in the Catharine.

MONDAY, MAY 16.
From the "Journal du Commerce," (Bordeaux paper) March 27.
The Dey of Algiers having received 80,000 dollars from Spain, and very considerable presents from Denmark, sent for citizen Thainville, Commissary General of the French Republic, and told him, that all nations sent him money, and that the First Consul has neglected, and had sent nothing. That France formerly sent him presents. Citizen Thainville then reminded him of the article in the letter to the First Consul, by General Huilen, in which the Dey renounced all claims to presents. This reply threw the Dey into a violent passion, with severe threatening. Upon the arrival of this news at Paris, the Minister of Marine fitted out two frigates for Algiers, under the command of citizen Gourdon, with orders to take on board the Commissary General and his family, and to inform the Dey that if he once declared war, he must remember, that he could not tell where it would end. Upon the arrival of the frigates, the people crowded the palace of the Dey, to represent to him the evils which threatened them. The Dey sent for Thainville and demanded the intention in sending the frigates. He told the Dey the orders from France. Do you wish to have war with me? Said the Dey. No, replied the Commissary, but the First Consul is too powerful to be your tributary. After some dispute, the Dey added, He shall pay nothing: I wish to be at peace with him. Write to him that I recall my demand. So the affair ended. The Commissary was conducted from the palace of the Dey and amidst the acclamations of the multitude which expressed the strong desire to be at peace with France. The Commissary returned to his post and the frigates to Toulon.
The same paper tells us of the splendid reception of the French Ambassador at Constantinople on the 19th of February. The Danes have instituted an enquiry into the sufferings of their colonists at St. Croix and St. Thomas's by the possession which the English had of those Islands. —The English have consented to pay 280,000 sterling for damages sustained, which will be in part for their losses appropriated by the Danish government.
This day's Eastern mail, without adding any thing to our stock of European intelligence, invalidates the rumor which we yesterday received from New Port. it appears, that the captain of the Packet (if it was the packet) instead of informing that war was declared, merely said that "in case of war, Great Britain would have 70 sail of the line in commission." But this very guarded and qualified expression was tortured, as has been observed, into an explicit declaration of war!
It will appear from the foreign advices in this day's Gazette, that even down to the first of April, there had been no abatement in England of the hostile indications. And in France too, late in March, the preparations were equally formidable and threatening. Bonaparte is verging all his forces to the coast of France. This circumstance designates the nature of the war which the First Consul expects. As on the part of England the warfare will necessarily be maritime, so Bonaparte appears determined to concentrate his energies so as either to sustain a struggle on the element, or by menacing invasion, to restrict the British fleet to their own shores. It is indeed most probable, in case of war that invasion, an idea long and ambitiously cherished in France, will be attempted. Many of the first characters in the British councils, predict the event, and exult in the expectation of England having to decide on her own territory, the awful question of her own independence or subjugation.
The article from the Cape of Good Hope baffles political speculation. The
occurrences at this place on the first of January had produced the belief, that England, perceiving the approaching storm, had seasonably prepared for the struggle, by retaining this important station. If this order was the effect of an apprehension of war, how are we to account for the subsequent one, by which the Cape has been surrendered to the Dutch. At any rate it is obvious that the retention of the Cape does not constitute even a share of the present dispute between England and France. England with regard to this point, has fulfilled the stipulations of the treaty of Amiens. She still retains Malta, and it is rumored in some of the latest papers, that she is placing it on extraordinary warlike establishment. With respect to the real ground of the controversy we must continue to groupe in the dark until either an accommodation takes place, or an appeal is made to arms.
(Phil. Gaz.)
Several gentlemen from Newburyport, since the date of the last paper, printed in that place, inform, that the intelligence, brought by capt. Rutherford, instead of announcing the actual declaration of War between France and England, goes no farther than that he was informed, the British would have 70 sail of the line in readiness, in case of actual war. They likewise add that the vessel spoken had been out 36, instead of 33 days.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a fever-cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—jeune indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weaknesses, Seminal weaknesses, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete gleet, Impotency, &c. &c. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could restore a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

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

Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels; which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.

Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurius but upon close inspection quit repelled with very small living animals. No tone of that sort of worms which usually afflict children,
came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOTHER.
