Latest Foreign Intelligence.
VERONA, September 3.
His excellency marshall Massena, commander in chief of the army of Italy, has established his head quarters at Valeggio. He reviews the different corps which successively arrive. On the 10th, the following proclamation was put upon the order of the army.
"Soldiers of the army of Italy, his majesty the emperor and king has appointed me your commander in chief. It is grateful for me to see my ancient companions in arms, and to find in them the sentiments which I knew them to possess, attachment to discipline, and devotion to their duty: I shall always speak to them the language of these sentiments, and it is a pleasure to me to think that they will know how to answer it, if the political circumstances oblige his majesty the emperor and king to give the signal of battle, in spite of the desire he has constantly manifested to maintain peace. Soldiers! you will remember that you are upon a field of battle, illustrated by his victories, and that at every step we shall find traces of his magnanimity and of his genius."
"I replace at your head a general distinguished by his services, he is called to another destination, whither no doubt your wishes will accompany him: upon whatever theatre his majesty may place us, soldiers, let us justify his choice, and let us ever have but one thought: our country & our emperor."
The marshal of the empire, commander in chief, Signed,
MASSENA.
The two banks of the Adige are now occupied by considerable forces. The fortifications of Mantua, lately inspected by the marshal, have been found in such a state as to be looked upon as impregnable.
LEMBERG, September 14.
To the different generals, which we have announced as having commands in the two Russian armies, under M. D'Apraxin, are added, the count de Buxhoevden governor of Riga, and the generals of infantry Michelson and Guleints, and the count de Tolstop, the military governor of St. Petersburg.
The Prussian frontiers are inaccessible to the Russian army, according to the declaration of his Prussian majesty, to maintain a strict neutrality, and also by the large armies which cover the Prussian frontiers. The Russian generals have been compelled to avoid the Prussian dominions in Poland; four columns of the Russian army have in consequence, defiled at Brody, towards the eastern frontier of Galicia, and press forward to Moravia; a part will pass near Pulaw, the others approach Cracovia, and our walls.
INSPRUCK, September 16.
The archduke John, who was attached to the army of Italy, under the archduke Charles is arrived to take the command of the army of the Tyrol composed of 40,000 men, the right wing is commanded by general Hiller, and the left by general Jellachich lately arrived from the frontiers of Turkey, where he commanded the Austrian army.
From Venice we learn that large quantities of siege artillery are collecting in that city, where the prince Charles is momentarily expected.
STUTGARD, September 19.
M. Massias, charge d'affaires of the emperor of France, near the elector of Baden, has returned to Karlsruhe, he arrived there on the 17th in the evening, when he immediately had an audience with the elector, who is preparing to depart for Strasburg.
It is reported within these few days that a body of Austrian troops from the Tyrol, had entered the country of the Grisons, and had occupied the capital of that canton; this intelligence wants confirmation. The city of Ulm, capital of the province of Suabia, belonging to the elector of Bavaria, was taken possession of on the 18th by a regiment of Austrian dragoons, which arrived there from Guntzburg. A part of this regiment is cantoned in the neighboring villages. The Austrian colonel Dadowich is also arrived at Ulm. The day preceding, the Bavarian troops quitted the place, and their posts were occupied by the militia, who now do duty with the Austrian troops.
Letters from Vienna of the 12th of September, received at Ratisbon, announces that the greater part of the Russian army, which had entered Galicia, cannot reach the inner circle of Austria until some time in October, to form a junction with the
Austrian army in Germany. The French ambassador remained at Vienna the 12th September, but the preparations he was making announced his speedy departure. The archduke Ferdinand had set out for Munich. The archduke Charles does not quit the capital until the 18th.
September 23.
It is said that orders are given for embodying the troops of Wirtemberg in the vicinity of this place, the number it is said will amount to 20,000 men. A corps of Austrian troops is arrived in the neighbourhood of Villingen and Donaschingen, in Brisgaw. The advance guard of the Austrian army is arrived at Stockach, and the head quarters are expected to be at Memmingen. The corps of the Austrian army in the Voralberg, which had formed a temporary camp in the vicinity of Bregenz, under the orders of general Wolfskall, commenced their march on the 16th or 17th instant, on the 18th it had advanced to Waldsee, in Upper Swabia; it is composed of 12,000 men. It is stated also, that the camp at Wetz, has been broken up, and that all the troops have been marched in three columns. The troops of the elector of Bavaria, are concentrating more and more in the Franconia, and the Upper Palatinate. It is presumed that Franconia (with the exception of the Prussian dominions) will not be comprised in the line of demarcation of neutrality, and that the Bavarian army will join that of the Marshal Bernadotte, which is advancing through the Electorate of Hesse, and the country of Fulda, to attack the Austrian army.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 23.
The French troops of the army of Hanover arrived yesterday in the vicinity of this place. The general in chief marshall Bernadotte, has his head quarters about a league and a half from this place. Yesterday afternoon the senate assembled to deliberate upon a demand of the French general for a certain number of rations. The third division of French Batavian army has arrived at Coblenz.
September 24.
The first division of the French Batavian army, which has arrived at Mayence, is to pass the Rhine tomorrow the 25th, and will arrive the same day at Frankfort, and it is presumed will form a junction with the army of Hanover, corps of which are daily arriving in our vicinity, after which it is probable they will take the route for Aschaffenburg and Wurtzburg. The general Kellerman arrived here yesterday, from the head-quarters of the general in chief marshall Bernadotte, who is expected here tomorrow. The Austrian army which had advanced into Bavaria, has formed a junction with the Austrian corps assembled near Bregenz.
We wait with extreme impatience and anxiety, the result of the mission of M. de Meerfeldt to Berlin, and that of the compte de Haugwitz to Vienna. These are perhaps, the last efforts of Prussia to prevent hostilities.
September 25.
The first division of the French Batavian army which yesterday crossed the Rhine, halted last night at Welbacher Singengen; this morning it continued its march for Frankfort. The second division will arrive this evening at Frankfort.
The troops of the army of Hanover are to pass the Mein on the side of Hanau, for which purpose a bridge has been constructed at that place. The junction of the two armies will take place near Seligenstadt between Frankfort and Aschaffenburg. The ardour which is displayed by the troops, is beyond all expression.
September 26.
According to letters from Munich the Archduke Ferdinand arrived at that city on the 19th at night. The Austrian minister to Bavaria, Baron Schauenstein, has repaired to Wurtzburg, to present various demands on the Elector. The Austrian commander at Munich, has sequestered the treasury of the Elector, allowing him only sufficient for the support of his civil list, and personal expenses.
P. S. This moment a letter of the 21st from Munich announces the arrival of the Emperor of Austria and Germany at that place. His majesty departs to-morrow for Landsburg.
STRASBOURG, September 23.
Yesterday the superb regiment of Grenadiers, belonging to the army arrived here. It is quartered on the citizens of the town. It will be reviewed to-day by Prince Murat and the other generals who are here. It is said that general Latour will command this corps. The first column of the imperial guards is expected to-day. Our vicinity is filled by an immense quantity of troops, infantry as well as cavalry.
September 25.
Early this morning several divisions of our grand army passed the Rhine on the bridge of boats, between our city and Khel; the Elector has granted permission for them to pass through
the estates of Baden. The division of Grenadiers commanded by general Oudinot, is one of the corps which have passed.
September 26.
Most of the generals who have assembled here, have already quitted and put themselves at the head of their respective corps. We are assured that the prince Murat passed the Rhine, with his staff, yesterday afternoon, as did also the Marshal Soult. It is said that another of our armies has passed the river at Mannheim.
Of the destination of our armies nothing is known with certainty, as the greatest secrecy prevails as to their operations. Some persons who came from the right bank of the Rhine, state that the part of the army which crossed at Khel are pressing for Radstadt; one column was directing its march towards Oberkirch, to proceed from thence towards Knebbs, and that another was to take possession of the valley of Knitzich; of Quenche, it is also said that a passage of the Rhine had been effected at Neuf Brisack.
The Austrians it is said have advanced considerably within these few days past, and that their patrols have entered Stuttgart by one side, and by the other the country of Knibbs, in front that one of their corps is posted between Rottweil and Villingen.
EASLE, September 25.
The corps of Austrian troops in the environs of Bregenz, under the command of gen. Wolfskall, departed on the 17th of this month, and proceed towards Upper Suabia. This intelligence is certain and proves that the Austrian army has not had the temerity to enter the territory of the Helvetic republic, from whence it could retreat with so much difficulty, and moreover as to us, that the flames of war are not to extend to us.
BOSTON, November 20.
POSTSCRIPT.
Through the polite attention of the editors of the Portland Gazette, we last evening were favored with a London paper of September 29th; received by captain Salter, in 46 days from Liverpool. It contains several very long state papers, viz. two notes from M. Talleyrand to the Austrian minister at Paris; with the answer of Austria to those notes the manifesto presented by the French minister to the German Diet: and a declaration of the court of Russia to that of Austria. It is not in our power to give any thing like an outline of these state papers this day. Though they all profess to have an honorable and permanent peace for their object, it is evident that war is their real design. With respect to Russia and G. Britain, the emperor Napoleon declares unequivocally he has no hopes of peace: Of the neutrality of Prussia he is certain: and while he solicits Austria not to join in the war he demands that she should withdraw her 21st regt. from Tyrol; reduce her troops in Stiria, in Carinthia, Triuli, and the Venetian territory; discontinue her camp fortifications, and declare to England her determination to maintain a firm neutrality. To this demand Austria makes no specific reply. But in a declaration sent from Vienna to Paris, on the 3d Sept. 1805, after a full discussion of the points in controversy, declares, in the name of Austria, Russia and Great Britain, that they are ready to enter into a negotiation with France, for maintaining the peace of the continent on the most moderate terms which are compatible with the general tranquility and security. It is however, probable that this proposition is made to gain more time, and, we think, will not be accepted by France; unless France too, is unprepared for immediate war. The emperor of Russia accompanies the proposition with a declaration, that he had ordered two armies of 50,000 each, to march through Galicia to the Danube, to support the cause of justice, and the issue of his moderation.
The number of Austrian troops on the march, were stated to exceed 200,000; more than 100,000 of which had entered Bavaria, in their progress to Swabia. The elector of Bavaria (an ally of France) had quit his capital with his treasure, &c.
The elector of Hesse-Cassel, it was said, had also declared against France; and was to furnish 25,000 men, to be paid by England.
In Sweden, all the engineery of war was in active operation, And a levy of 150,000 men had been ordered in Russia.
BALTIMORE, November 2.
Arrived ship Louisiana, Wannet, from Liverpool, last from Cork in 63 days. Left no American vessels at Cork. In lat. 49, 31, long. 18, passed through the homeward bound Jamaica fleet of 500 sail.
Also sloop Martha Warner, 28 days from St. Pierres (Mart.) Left schooners Jane, Collard, and Good Intent, Ley, of Baltimore, together with a number of others belonging to different ports. Flour 7 dollars. The town of St. Lucie was accidentally almost entirely destroyed by fire, occasioned by a person drawing rum with a candle.
NORFOLK, November 21.
Arrived in Hampton Roads, the United States frigate John Adams, captain Shaw, in 49 days from Gibraltar—the purser informs, that lord Nelson has taken command of the British fleet off Cadiz, and that his instructions were, to make an attempt to destroy the combined fleet in Cadiz; which, however desperate, if there is a probability of success, there is no doubt, but he will attempt it.
RICHMOND, Nov. 19.
We should presume that the frigates lately arrived from the Mediterranean and the greatest part of our disposable marine force, will be destined to the neighborhood of the Havana or the mouth of the Mississippi; for we have little doubt in case of war between Spain and the United States, that a detachment will be sent out from Cuba, and that New Orleans will be the point of their attack. Relying upon the misrepresented disaffection of the inhabitants, the Spanish Court may indulge some unfounded expectations that this ill disciplined and embattled detachment may conquer and defend this important post. The file of New Orleans papers which we received by yesterday's mail contains no more than the following interesting articles respecting the dispositions made at New Orleans to meet the probable exigency of the times.
New Orleans, October 5.
His excellency governor Claiborne and suite, returned to this city late last evening, from a tour through the counties of German Coast, La Fourche, Acadia, Iberville, Point Coupee, and Concordia,—and this morning his arrival was announced by a federal salute. We are happy to have it in power to state that his excellency has entirely recovered from the fever with which he has been afflicted.
(Orleans Gazette.)
We are happy to have it in our power to announce the arrival here on Wednesday last, of two companies of United States troops commanded by captains Sparks and Bissel. We think that about ten companies more, would be amply sufficient to meet any exigency.
(Ibid.)
CHARLESTON, November 14.
The French privateer Creole, after conveying the Escher into St. Mary's, has returned to cruise off our bar—when she hove in sight yesterday, the Adams frigate immediately gave chase to her—and when the pilots left the bar last evening, the frigate was close up with the privateer. The American commander, however, is so limited in his instructions, that he can merely examine the legality of her commission and prevent her from committing depredation, within three miles of our coast.
The brig Mary of Baltimore, with passengers, from Ireland, anchored in the roads last evening.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28.
On Thursday the 21st instant, before a respectable assembly of ladies and gentlemen, commenced the examination of the young ladies who are under the tuition of the Reverend Dr. Davis of this town. Their proficiency in the several branches of education to which their attention had been directed; the correctness and judgment displayed in their reading; the laity and elegance of their writing; the progress in geography and grammar, as well as their equal honor to themselves and their preceptor. Prizes were afterwards adjudged to the best scholars in different classes, but so nearly equal were the merits of two or three of the competitors in each class, that the gentlemen who presided at the examination, never be found it difficult to discriminate.
To minds duly sensible of the importance of female education and of its unbounded influence on society, it must afford the most heart-felt satisfaction to mark the establishment of this seminary. Under the plastic hand of so an instructor, whose unremitting care directed not only to adorn the mind, at the same time "to form the manners & to mend the heart," we have every reason to expect that young ladies of this seminary will grow up the delight of their friends and acquaintance, and the ornaments of society.
Alexandria, November 2

It is due to the fair neutral trader, and the honest American merchant and un- derwriter, to give publicity to the following extract of a letter from Amsterdam, dated the 12th March, 1805.
Our East India Company has in contemplation to sell produce for exportation from Batavia in the year 1806, and to give directions that no other cargoes shall be delivered, but those for which she has contracted here; they are to consist of one half coffee, at 5 1-2 st. India currency; also, one fourth sugar, 1 2-3 and one fourth pepper, 6 1-4,
Payable in ready money, when delivered at Batavia.
The contractors to give bail that said cargoes, after having touched in America or elsewhere, shall be sent for sale to this country, for account of the neutral owners; also to give bail that ships shall be sent from America, or other neutral countries, to carry from Batavia, the quantities of produce, for which each contractor engages for account of neutral persons.
These are the probable conditions. Some little alterations also in the prices may take place. Our Company intends treating finally in some months, giving time that answers may be had from America. Should you incline to have a share of said contracts, we beg to let us have your orders and instructions by the first opportunity.
VERMONT DIVORCES.
It cannot be denied that the facility of obtaining bills of divorce, has greatly tended to render us contemptible in the eyes of our neighbors; and the little respect our Judges entertain for the sacred institution of marriage, has encouraged the dissolution of both sexes in every quarter of the union, to repair to our state and make our laws subserve their wicked and immoral purposes. Every libertine who is tired of his wife, or who, from base and corrupt motives, is desirous to transfer his property & worthless affections to another woman; and every woman who is infamous enough to abandon her husband and children, may fly to Vermont; and by circulating a libel in the form of a petition, as far as a country paper will convey the notice, and paying the necessary fees (which constitute a very considerable emolument to our judges) can obtain a decree of our court dissolving the bands of matrimony. The statute indeed requires that one of the parties should have resided in this state at least one year previous to granting a divorce; but there are several instances on record, of bills being granted without even requiring proof to establish any previous residence. We shall soon have business enough of this kind in our courts, when it is known to the people of Carolina, or any other remote state, that a short visit of two months from home, will be quite sufficient to free a man from a disagreeable companion, and the incumbrance of a family during the remainder of his life. "Do we not publish a citation, say our judges in some of our newspapers; and afford an opportunity to the other party, to appear and resist any improper attempt to impose on our courts." Pretty reasoning this! How shall an innocent wife five hundred miles distant, living perhaps in the interior of the country, become acquainted with every advertisement in every one of our village papers? The first sight of the advertisement is perhaps accompanied with a copy of the record of that decree, which strips her of property; deprives her of a husband; and separates her from her children!
On this solemn, this awful subject, it is impossible for a wife or virtuous man to reflect without being agitated by alternate emotions of horror and indignation. It is really opening Pandora's Box, and giving wings to every evil that can poison the felicity and morals of society. It casts a ridicule on the sacred institution of marriage; produces a confusion of progeny; creates discord in families; corrupts public and private decency; and introduces a depravity of manners, which every man of feeling and sense ought to repel as an enemy to the honor and happiness of his wife and daughters. In such a state of things, where shall we look for that faithful and dutiful devotion of the heart, which is the most powerful inducement to a state of wedlock? where find that perfect confidence and security, which are inspired by a belief that death only can sever that religious bond which unites individuals of different sexes together, and impels them by the irresistible influence of affection, and the consciousness of a common indivisible interest, to maintain all the tender relations of father, son and brother?

WASHINGTON.
From the American Letters.
VOL. 1. P. 481.
The example of Cincinnatus, after a lapse of ages has been revived, or exceeded, amidst the forests of America, by the unassuming cultivator of the banks of the Potomac. Washington, like the Roman sage, too rich in himself to be seduced by wealth or honors to forsake the calm enjoyments of domestic life, obeyed, again, and again, the summons of his country, to devote himself to the emergencies of the state.
If mankind should ever become wise enough to transfer their admiration from their conquerors to their benefactors, the virtues of Washington and Cincinnatus will efface the victories of Bonaparte and Alexander, and the modest mantle of republican simplicity will eclipse the frippery of imperial robes.

The session of the legislature of the United States being just at hand, it is worthy of attention that there exists a case at the Metropolis of this country which calls for legislative interposition in the economy of the public roads: I mean in the shameful example of negligence which exists exposed to the censure of travellers between George-town and Alexandria. I presume it will be unnecessary to offer either evidence or argument to impress the public mind with an evil so self evident, and so dangerous to all who have occasion to pass in the night.
The instance cited is however, not a new one; it is only of an unlimited number of examples, which every where, pervade this country; and which have, every where, existed in all countries antecedent to the establishment of turnpikes. It is within the memory of middle aged men, that England (which now excels all other countries in this species of improvement) was in a similar predicament; and there is no doubt but that country, which now exhibits turnpikes equal to the road before the President's door through every part of the kingdom, and where the arts, manufactures, agriculture and commerce of the land have kept pace with the facilities of conveyance, would have continued for centuries if she had adhered to the mistaken prejudice of working her roads by statute labor, and continued in the practice of scalping them with weeding hoes to avoid presentments at county court!
The great and amiable doctor Anderson, the agriculturalist, who never went to bed a night since he approached manhood without leaving an ungrateful world in arrears to his labors, expresses himself on this subject as follows:
"There is no popular prejudice I have ever met with that is so unreasonable as that which prevails against turnpikes. In most other cases the people are anxious to throw all public burthens upon the rich rather than the poor; but the case is directly reversed in this instance. The roads are all made where no turnpikes exist, by the labour of the poor, for which they receive no payment; many of whom neither have horses nor carriages ever to travel on these roads: but the rich in consequence of that labor, are enabled to loll in their carriages at their ease, and while they are thus cutting up the roads contribute nothing to put them in repair."
A turnpike act, which subjects these persons, and others who are to use the roads to a tax to put them in repair, is obviously the most equitable plan for making the roads that ever could be devised, and shifts the burthen, in the first instance, from the shoulders of the poor to those of the wealthy: one would imagine that a turnpike act, on this principle, ought to be universally a very popular thing."
Does it not merit a question, under this fair mode of reasoning, whether the inhabitants of Washington, George-Town, and Alexandria, ought not immediately to hold public meetings, and correspondence, on the question of petitioning Congress for an act to facilitate their mutual intercourse, and to promote the public interest and accommodation, by the incorporation of a company for extending a turnpike road, the nearest and best level, from the town of Alexandria to the ferry at George-town?
I could say a great deal on this topic, which, being too voluminous for a newspaper may, perchance, be the subject of a pamphlet, while I tarry amongst you; but if any should question me on the score of advantage in the road now proposed, I am free to answer, according to my observation,

1st. Your mail stage will be freed from the danger of breaking the drivers neck, and of killing or crippling his passengers. 2dly. Your transient cash, in the commercial circulations of your country, will be less exposed to night robberies. 3dly. Your mail stage will be able to sound its horn at the ferry, at an early and regular hour; your merchants will be thereby relieved from irregular and tedious waitings at the post office; and their business, in course, be more promptly despatched. 4thly. Where a horse drags one hundred weight in the present state of the roads he will be able to convey three hundred in their improved state. 5thly. Where one person now passes on occasions of commerce or pleasure, twenty will be found to pass shortly after the completion of the proposed improvement. 6thly. Instead of strangers and travellers, imbibing a strong prejudice, against the metropolis, and country, in consequence of the disgust they must feel at being jolted through dreary and dangerous hills in the dark, they will be delighted with the view of a grand and beautiful river and country diversified in its scenery, by landscapes, composed of woods, farms, villas, rising towns and cities; the strongest evidence of increasing commerce, population and prosperity which could have induced them to settle here. 7thly. Instead of the houses, in Washington, &c. tumbling down for want of tenants, we shall see the proposed turnpike form a street between the two principal cities; and the towns themselves will become inhabited at both ends of the link. Lastly. The situation of this road is, on many accounts the most eligible of any in the union for commencing, at the capital, an exemplary improvement, which will have a tendency to reconcile to instructions of science, and to prove, against prejudice, the infinite advantage of promoting similar intercourse through all parts of the union; and by means which cannot fail to reward the adventurer co-equal with his number of shares, and the increase of population. With the best wishes for the prosperity of America, I am, Mr. Printer, your obedient humble servant.
A STRANGER.
From the United States Gazette.
The following is a copy of a real letter written by the person whose name is subscribed, and who was a serjeant, in the Pennsylvania line during the revolutionary war. The original is or lately was in the possession of a gentleman in this city, (Philadelphia) We have rarely seen a more ludicrous combination of what are usually denominated HARD words.
Exuberant Genius,
As the malignity of the vulgar incomparably transcends human comprehension, & their grovelling insinuations will climaxicate the minutiae of human frailty, you cannot want faculty to investigate the ebullition of that invective which has so inundated, a character whose lucidity appeared in the moral world equal to any planetical phenomenon.
A. M. 5777, alias, P. N. C. 1777. I had the honor to make one of that terrific accumulated body of freemen encamped at Middle Brook, whose unparell'd achievements, and unequalled powers in arms, would obliterate the character of a Macedonian army and whose terror not only put a stop to the depredations of an army of veterans, but drove them from the confines of that patriotic province and made them take shelter within their ignean batteries, on the the surges of a boisterous and tempestuous torrent. At that time the famous politicians of the opothawere divided in their opinion, and the question was, whether they had totally withdrawn their fleets and armies, or the fates had destined them to plough the Atlantic twice ten years (Ulysses like) to receive the retribution of their national crimes? Maturely pondering the arguments a priori and a posteriori — I coincided with the former. Amusing myself and highly pleased that the Deity was tired of punishing the iniquities of the American world, the curtains of the evening began to incircle me, and the shades of Erebos grew more sable, when one of the daughters of Venus intercepted me in my perambulations, whom I discovered to be sauntering about in tasteless existence—Ah me miserum de qua perfectione decid. My meretricious faculties were alarmed, en verite; the organs of my corporeal system were entirely shocked; and for a short time every muscular motion forgot to vibrate; the fair discovering in me an uncommon structure, was prompted to extend her balmiferous
hand and raised me from my torpid stupidity, by which time she was environed with other graces not less agreeable in pulchritudinary features. I was assisted into a circle drawn by quadrupeds, and vehicled into a Virgin Province at that time unknown to me. All this time my ideas, simple & compound, centered in my Diana, as a principal and virtual focus.
I had no avocations, nor did my country strike my auricular nerves; no expansion of my common sensorium; all was love! all was joy ecstatic and complete!
Posthumous to my departure from the theatre of human courage, I was enveloped in a dulcid lethargic superfection of reiterated voluptuosity for three diurnal periods, and, as I conceive, entranced in the superific calm of Pathian joys —but the fatigues of repetition, destroyed and annihilating my virile powers, I was eventually reduced to a state of compos mentis .
I say after again emerging into the world, upon examining my calender, I was astonished to find that the lunar periodical revolutions were numerically equal to the muses, and upon hearing of the enemy's return to the continent, I am again determined to make a glorious epiphany.
By this time, sir, I trust the antecedent cogitations have capaciated you to form something definitive and conclusive respecting the character of a child of misery and an offspring of misfortune, and that you will be moved to reconcile me to your causidical brother col. H—y, from whom I have, unfortunately revolted.—Through your benign mediatorial influence I hope to be renovated in his estimation, and that my quantum d. fectious may be entirely and sempiternally absorbed in the chaos of perpetual oblivion.
I am, most Exuberant Genius, with pedestal humiliation, and retrograde speculation.
Your torquated friend and distressed, Humble servant, HUMPHRY THOMSON, Sreyant. From my sequestered Museum, near the Lancaster Road, April 23. 1778 To Col —, in Gen. W —'s division.

This Farm contains 1,600 acres of LAND, one third of which is in Wood, the re- sidue enclosed and in good order for farming or grazing upon an extensive scale. There is now about 40 acres of Timothy meadow made, and a prime order, and 100 more might be easily made upon a soil admirably adapted to grass.— The Land generally produces corn, wheat and obacco well, but as a Grazing Farm, it is per- haps exceeded by none on the East side of the Blue Ridge.
The improvements are such as would accommodate a Gentleman Farmer or Grazier, with a large family—consisting of a well built Mansion House, with a dining room, drawing room and eight chambers, closets, cellars, &c. Kitchen, Servants Hall, Smoke house, Dairy, Ice house, Overseer's house, Poultry houses, a good well of Water, Stables sufficient to contain 30 or 40 Horses, a Corn house, large Barn, &c. &c. all of which at a small expense might be put into complete order. There is also upon the Farm five Orchards of Apples, and Peaches of the best kinds of Fruit.

Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be- speaks their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fe- vers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colic, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genu- ine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.

In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.
