HALIFAX, (N. S.) August 4.
Loss of the Lady Hobart Packet.
On the 22d of June, the Lady Hobart, failed from this port for Falmouth. On the 26th saw a large sch'r, under French colours, standing towards her; being full of men, capt. Fellows prepared for engag- ing her; but, on her near approach, and receiving a shot from the Lady Hobart, she struck her colours; she was taken possession of, and given in charge to lieuts. Little and Hughes, two gentlemen of the navy who were passengers in the Packet, with directions to take her to Falmouth; she was laden with fish and some wine.
On the 28th, at one o'clock, in the morning, the weather being hazy, and at intervals, a thick fog, and the ship go- ing at the rate of seven miles an hour, she struck against an island of ice, with such violence as to throw several of the crew out of their hammocks—the helm was im- mediately put hard a port, when she struck a second time about the chestree, and then, swinging round on her keel, stove in the stern post and carried away the rud- der. The island of ice appeared to hang quite over the ship, and was supposed to be twice the height of her mast heads. The water rushed in so as to fill the hold in a few minutes; the guns were then thrown overboard—the anchors cut from the bows—both pumps were manned— men were sent to bailing the watchways, and two sails were got under her bottom; notwithstanding which, in less than a quarter of an hour, she settled down to her fore chains in the water.
The necessity of quitting the ship be- coming quite apparent captain Fellows, (after consulting captain Thomas of the navy, who was a passenger on board, and Mr. Bargus, the master, who were both of opinion that no time was to be lost,) ordered the boats to be hoisted out. The weight and size of the mail was such as to preclude the possibility of taking it in to either of the boats, without excluding some of the people, it was therefore judg- ed prudent to sink it. The ladies, who were passengers, were then placed in the boats, and the rest of the passengers and crew immediately followed. Some bread with a small quantity of wine, rum and water, were taken in the boats, with a quadrant and compass. Scarcely were these arrangements made, when the ship took a heavy lurch to port, and so near were the boats that they narrowly escap- ed being carried down by the water. Little more than an hour elapsed from the ship's striking till her foundering.
At the time the ship foundered, capt. Fellows supposed her to be in lat. 36, 33, N. long. 44, 00 W. St. John's, N. Foundland, bearing W. 1/2 N. distant 350 miles. The whole number embarked in the boats consisted of 29, and all the provisions saved from the ship was be- tween 40 and 50 lbs. of biscuit, 2 demi- johns of water, consisting of 5 gallons each—1 demijohn of rum, and a part of a small barrel of spruce beer, and a few bottles of wine; and as it was a season of the year when the westerly winds are most prevalent, it became necessary to husband this small stock with great econo- my.—St. John's being the nearest land they could expect to make.
On the 1st July, the boats encounter- ed a gale of wind, parted from each other, and continued separated two days, and it may be considered an uncommon circum- stance, that after sailing many leagues on the ocean, they again fell in with each other, and continued together till they reached Conception Bay on the 4th July, and entered a place called Island Cove. They had been 7 days and 6 nights con- stantly wet and cold and with no other subsistence than a quarter of a biscuit and a glass of liquor for 24 hours, and during the whole period they were in the boats they never once saw the sun except on the first day, or a star to enable them to take an observation.
Not a single person was able to walk from the boats without assistance, on their arrival at the Cove:—But they were received with the utmost kindness and hos- pitality by the inhabitants, who cheer- fully rendered them all the assistance in their power to afford.—Before their arri- val the intellects of several began to be affected. The master of the French vessel they had captured, in a fit of phrenzy, threw himself suddenly overboard, and instantly disappeared. The legs of all of them were much swollen—they were be- coming uneasy and restless, and growing very weak; a few hours more would in
all probability, have brought on all the consequences of despair and madness. They reached St. John's the 7th July— here they experienced the most hospitable treatment from General Skerret, who not only paid every attention in his power to Capt. Fellows and the passengers, but gave quarters to the crew, and issued ra- tions for their support.
Mr. Jenkins, the masters mate, and 15 of the crew, arrived here on Saturday eve- ning, in 16 days.
Most of the crew are still in a feeble situation: several are frost bitten, two of them severely.
Capt. Fellows, Mrs. Fellows, Col. Cook, of the Guards, Capt. Thomas, of the Nancy, and Mr. Bargus, master of the Lady Hobart, have taken passage at St. John's, in a brig bound for Oporto.

CHARLESTON, August 22. The French frigate Pursuivant, went
to sea last night, accompanied by her prize, the Juno. The Cotton Planter being liberated has also proceeded on her voyage. It is the intention of the French commander to burn the Juno, preparations for which were made previous to her sail- ing. Capt. Affleck, and his crew, came up to town last evening, in the pilot boat, an exchange receipt, for the same num- ber of officers and men, being given by the British consul in this city.
Capt. Affleck sailed from Liverpool on the 21st of June, bound to Wilmington, N. C.—the ships Maria, Chisholm; John Pratt; and Boyne, Stafford, were to sail a few days after for this port.
August 23. Extract from the Log Book of the English ship Jano, Captain Affleck, bound from Liverpool to Wilmington, N. C.
"Sunday, August 14—At half past 12 saw a large ship in the S. E. quarter standing for us, under a press of sail— supposed her to be the French corvette La Boyana, having a few days previous re- ceived information that said corvette was lying at Havana, ready for sea, and bound to France. Made all sail; but the winds being light, at 4 P. M. she gained upon us, and commenced firing her bow chases. To this we paid no at- tention, but continued to keep every sail set, in hopes to escape during the night. At 8 she appeared to be about a league and an half astern; and we soon after lost sight of her. We then threw out a cask with a lanthorn attached to it, in hopes she would steer for the light, and chang- ed our course. Saw nothing further of the ship until 1 o'clock, when we disco- vered her a short distance a stern of us; finding it impossible to get clear, took in all small sails, prepared for action, and at 2 o'clock hove too for him, fired a gun and hoisted a light at the mizen peak."
It did not appear to be his wish to come near us until day light; but having eve- ry reason to suppose it was the corvette, we were determined to bring him to ac- tion immediately, as our ship made a noble appearance at night; and every man on board was anxious to commence the fight—knowing also that we could place reliance upon their activity and bravery. At 4 o'clock fired several guns at him, but received no returns both ships now hove too, and lay in that situ- ation until day break, when we hoisted our ensign and pendant, and fired a gun. The frigate soon after run up French colours, and commenced firing, which was returned by the Juno—We continued in this situation, firing without a mo- ment's cessation for three quarters of an hour, when he hove before the wind; we did the same, and commenced firing on the other side—the action now became warm, his shot constantly flying over us, and cutting up the rigging—the frigate still keeping at a considerable distance, braced our yards forward to approach nearer him, under a constant fire; we now received a number of shot in the hull, and many falling on board which we found to be 32 pounders—at this time we had two men killed, the mate and one man wounded; and finding we could not beat her off, notwithstanding we fired two guns to their one, at 7 o'clock struck our colours; when capt. Affleck went on board, and found her to be the frigate La Pursuivant, commanded by citizen Willermiz, of 34 guns, 22 long 32 pounders, and 12 long nines, with 350 men, bound to France. The capt. gave us credit for the spirited resistance we had made, and treated us in the handsomest manner; allowing every man to take his clothes, and furnishing them the same al- lowance with his crew; To capt. Affleck he offered part of his own cabin; and endeavored to render his situation as com- fortable as possible. He declared he took the Juno for a British sloop of war, or small frigate; and was much surprised on hearing she mounted but 18 guns, with 43 men. Could not learn of any one on board the frigate being hurt by our shot; but found a great quantity of round and double headed shot on board; and many shot through her sails, &c."
Dr. Thomas Triplett, INFORMS the public that he has re- commenced the practice of Medicine and Surgery in their several branches, and as he intends to pursue the duties of his profession in the town and country, will at all times be in readiness to attend, when called on, at his house in Royal Street, three doors south of Mr. Gadsby's hotel.

Alexandria Advertiser.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.
The Nancy, De Butts, of this port, was at Port Antonio, (Jam.) on the 3d of August.
It is worthy of remark, the uniformity of measures and manners in Democracy. The terrorists of France in 1793 had their abettors in this country, and it appears that, according to the progressive steps of our dear sister republic, the party here rise or lower their notes. The false one, say the impious adulation offered to the Corsican ruler of France is almost passing belief. Alexander the Great, in one of his fits of madness, arrogated to himself immortality of an heathen divinity, and received, with exultation, the incense offered to their Gods—but the offerings to Buonaparte, allowing some difference between the Heathen and the Christian mythology, far outdoes the homage and devotion required by Alexander.
Now let us turn to our own democrats—they, too, have their idol, and they keep pace with their Gallic brethren. As enthusiasm rises in France, it seems to be a political fashion for similar exertions here. It was not, until it was known in America, that the impudence of their Corsican model had, by reiterated aggravations, brought down the vengeance of Britain, that our feelings were shocked by the toasts given on the 4th of July. Never before were they carried to such lengths; and about the same time the Monsieurs were guggling down destruction to England at Calais, while an English frigate was throwing her shot at them by way "feu de joie" to their gasconading toasts.
We learn from our last London paper (July 16th) that the Russian Consul General at Venice has received a dispatch from his court stating it to be his Sovereign's pleasure, that the Ionian flag, and the subjects of the Seven Islands, shall be placed under the protection of the Russian Agents and Consul, and that they shall enjoy the same privileges with his Russian subjects. Here then is a new, and indeed the only system of neutrality attempted to be established in the Mediterranean and Levant, which is evidently designed to favour the commerce of France, while it gives to Russia the right of exercising her interference, and extending her influence, in that quarter.
FRENCH BILLS.
Extra of a letter from a merchant in London to another in Salem, dated July 4.
"I am sorry to inform you, that your Bills on the French Government are not accepted, and probably will not be paid when due. In consequence of its being discovered that many Bills had been drawn at St. Domingo (particularly to the order of A Lindo) for which they say nothing had been furnished, the payment of them has been suspended. My friends at Paris, to whom I sent your Bills to procure payment, inform me, that the French government requires almost endless formalities for the Bills drawn at St. Domingo. The bearers of them must produce an authentic copy of the contract for the goods or supplies furnished, for which the Bills were given, and a certificate of its execution to annex them to the Bills. They advise those in whose favour the Bills are drawn, to send with the contract and certificate a power of attorney in blank. You may have the contract (le marche) but under existing circumstances you will not, I fear, readily obtain a certificate of its execution."

POLICE.—No. II.
The regulation of the streets of Alexandria, previous to their being paved, were begun in the most absurd manner, why they should continue so, is difficult to determine. The scene of the town, gave every advantage of elegant streets—common sense would have pointed out the propriety of graduating those streets that lead from the river westerly, in an uniform manner, from the Potomac to Washington or Columbus streets. Look at Prince street, the regulation just finished, in the space of half a mile there are three hills, and three valleys formed in it—the same labour would have given it a regular slope. There is no doubt but that Duke street will be managed in the same injudicious manner.

THE TWO JEWS.
(From a late London Paper.)
Two old Jews, who go about the streets dealing in old cloaths, passing by a gentleman's stable, were so fascinated by a couple of Jackets, belonging to two postilions, that they could not resist the temptation of adding them to their stock in trade. While they were secreting their prize, the two owners returned from a public house, where they had been drinking a pot of porter, and saw the transaction. They rushed out, seized the Israelites, locked them up in the Stable, and went in quest of certain things which promised better sport than a prosecution.—They then returned, tied the Jews face to face, and matting together their two beards, smeared them with warm Shoemakers Wax. As soon as the wax was cooled, and a sufficient number of spectators gathered together to view this fraternal Jewish hug, the postilions, at intervals, applied a few pinches of strong snuff, which caused such a concussion of noses, and such sneezing and sputtering in each others faces, that while it inflicted the severest punishment on the thieves, the spectators were highly pleased with this spectacle of distributive justice.
Washington's life exhibits an immortal monument of his sense of the blessings of government and the great duty of cheerful submission to it. Frequent were the opportunities which he had to wear the brightest gold and purple that sceptre seeking ambition could covet: But he despised them all. Charmed with that heaven which results from good government, and a prompt obedience to it, he readily returned the glittering sword of the victorious generalissimo, stepped down from the exalted chair of supreme magistracy, mixed as a commoner among the citizens, obeyed those whom he had
been accustomed to command, honored the president, revered the laws, paid his taxes, and in every respect behaved as became the man, who was fully possessed of this great idea, that in proportion to our union, will be our strength, our peace and prosperity at home, and our respectability and success abroad."
"Let us, my fellow citizens, as we revere the memory of George Washington—as we honor the mighty God of our fathers whom Washington honored—as we would live the life and die the death of that righteous man, O let us imitate this greatest, because best example in his most exemplary life."

called Mount Salus , alias Millthrope , lying in Fairfax county, on Difficult and Wolf  Traps , containing by Deed 550 acres & by survey 673 acres. The Mansion House is on a high healthy and agreeable situa- tion, convenient to which are springs of good water—The house is 40 by 18 feet, two rooms on a floor, with a nine feet passage and stair case, two brick chimneys, with a fire place to each room, a piazza the whole length of the front, a cellar 40 by 18 walled with stone and divided into two apartments. There are several small buildings near the Mansion House and gar- den. There are also a valuable Merchant and Grist Mill , Saw Mill , Distillery ,  Miller's House and Overseer's House .— The Mill House is 40 by 30, two stories high, half of the lower story of stone, the other part framed work, and covered with shingles. There are one pair of Burr , and one pair of Cologne stones , three oiting cloths almost new, and one screen, all now in use in manufacturing wheat and grinding grist. The still house 40 by 30, one story high, walls of stone and shingled roof, the floors planked, the upper laid for malting grain, and troughs fixed round the whole house constructed to carry water to every vessel which may need it. Three stills and one boiler can be worked to ad- vantage in said house. The waters on  Wolf Trap , on which the mill and saw mill stand, are constant streams. The situation for country custom, or purchasing wheat is excelled by none in the county or neighborhood, not being more than 17 miles from Alexandria , and 13 from  George Town , where there are excellent markets for country produce of every description; and about 14 miles from the city of Washington . The land is fertile and productive, and the soil well adapted to receive improvement, from the use of plaster of Paris.

There have been nearly 20 acres of timothy made, lying on Wolf Trap and Difficult runs ; 50 acres more may be made at a small expence.

Robert and John Gray  HAVE JUST RECEIVED A SUPPLY OF  Family & Patent Medicines, —CONSISTING OF—  Chaubaud's Antasthmatic Lo-  zenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibil-  ious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head  Achs; 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.
MATRIMONY. IT is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many persons of both sexes are de- terred 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 pre- carious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that those circumstances are occasioned by gene- ral or partial relaxation or weakness in either sex, and it is equally certain that the genuine A-  ROMATIC LOZENGES OF STELL are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffu- se 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 fa- culties 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 preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medi- cine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret len- tuality, debilitated his body, and impaired his understanding, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of prema- ture 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, im- becility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by impaired memory, anxiety, agita- tion, tremours, languor, paleness, emaciation, in- digestion, spathy in men; hysterics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abortion, pains in the back, chest, &c. in women; these lo- zenges will restore health and vigor to the debi- litated 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 medi- cines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are par- ticularly serviceable in flatulences and indigesti- on, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The flu- id essence is a remarkable active embrocation, ne- cessarily used with the pills, and as generally ex- cites a tingling sensation; it removes the causes of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the fe- verish sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxa- tions, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment. The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Thomas 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; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and films; it never fails to cure those malaries 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 superi- or excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S  Antasthmatic Lozenges. A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumptions, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c. Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole propri- etor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precari-
ous 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 pro- moting sleep and strengthening the constit- ution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief.— Asthma and confined consumptions have re- peatedly 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 Achs.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Achs, arising from what- ever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This in- valuable Anodyne, has frequently suc- ceeded 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 aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are un- questionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medi- cine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remark- able 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, be- sides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and re- spectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supercede the necessity of any further comment from the Pro- prietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recom- mendation than any thing which can be said of it, Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges. These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkin- son'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 consump- tive, in the bloom of health, being entirely de- livered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803. We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying lo- zenges, 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 mat- ter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, of- fensive 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 ex- cellent 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, Convul- sions, Cholera and Dysentery. Cautious investigation, and attentive en- quiry 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 nat- ural inference suggested the idea of their remov- al by the same means; the result was the dis- covery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and also nishing success, has obtained the warmest appro- bation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprie- tors 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 bot- tle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Specific Drops for Deafness. FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARD- NESS of HEARING. Those who are unac- quainted with the great relief afforded by this
valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often produced a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bot- tle. Price one dollar.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original ware- house, 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, round cholera, surfeit, hysteric vapours, fainting and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, swarms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stoppages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now general- ly 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 imi- tation thereof; the proprietor has reduc- ed 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 counter- feits and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stough- ton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and direc- tions.
