RATISBON, October 10.
Yesterday in the 13th sitting of the Deputation, the new Plan of Indemnities was presented. The Deputation will immediately take it into consideration.—Brandenburgh, Bavaria, Wirtenburgh, Hesse-Cassel and Mentz, have already approved the general plan.
It was said and expected that this would be merely a supplementary plan to that given in on the 18th of August; but the supplementary matter is inserted in the former plan, so as to form an enlarged general plan, of indemnities. It contains thirty-four sections and is printed in four sheets. It will be seen from the following extracts that the Grand Duke of Tuscany receives by it no further indemnification.
Section 1. Contains the indemnifications of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, which are the same as in the former plan, only it is determined that the country of Neuburg, on the left side of the Inn, with all its territorial and seigniorial rights shall be united to Bavaria.
Sec. 2. Bavaria shall receive the town and suburbs of Passau, together with all that appertains to it beyond the Inn and the Itz, and a circle of 500 klafers from the extreme end of the said suburbs; as also the Abbeys of Waldstetten and Eberach, with exception of all rights, properties, and ecclesiastical revenues, which lie in the city and territory of Augsburg.
Sec. 3. Prussia receives all the right and property of Mentz, in the Thuringia, as also the Abbey of Kappenberg. The rest of the Bishopric of Munster, which is given to Prussia, is allotted to several Princes.
Sec. 4. To the King of England and Elector of Brunswick Lunenburgh, for his claims to the county of Sayn Altenkirchen, Hilderheim, Corvey, and Hoffer, and his rights and property in the cities of Hamburg and Bremen, and in the territory of the latter, as shall be hereafter particularly stipulated, and for the cession of the district of Wildshausen; the Bishopric of Osnabrock.
To the Duke of Brunswick, Wolfenbuttle, the Abbeys of Gandersheim and Helmstedt, under condition of paying a constant rent of 2000 florins to the Princess of Amelia of Dessau.
Sec. 5. The Margrave of Baden receives likewise the Hessian Districts Lichtenau and Wildstadt; the Abbeys of Rechenau, Oehninger, the Provostship and Chapter of Odenheim, and the immediate rights and possessions which depend upon the public establishments and corporations on the left bank of the Rhine, and to the south of the Neckar.
Sec. 6. The Duke of Wirtenburgh receives likewise Sontal, Camburg, with their sovereignty; as also Rothminger, Henigenthal, Obersteufeld, Houtzhausen, Margareth-hausen, and all the Abbeys, Convents, and Chapters in the same, on paying certain constant rents to different Princes.
Sec. 7. The Landgrave of Hesse Cassel receives for his claims to Corvey, the Mentz districts of Naumburg and Reudadt, and the town of Geirhausen, under condition of paying a constant rent of 22,500 florins to the Landgrave of Hesse Rothenburg.
The Landgrave of Hesse Darmstadt; for surrendering certain rights on the cities of Wetzlar and Frankfort, and some Hessian Districts, receives the Duchy of Westphalia & different districts of Mentz, subject to a constant rent, &c.
Sec. 12. Nassau Dellenburgh, or the late Hereditary Stadtholder, receives the Abbeys and Provostships of Melfen, St. Gerold, Banderen, and all Chapter, Provostships and Convents situate in the territory assigned him.
Sec. 25. The Seat of Mentz shall be transferred to the Cathedral of Ratisbon, and the dignity of Elector, Arch Chancellor and Primate of Germany, shall be perpetually united to it. His metropolitan jurisdiction shall extend over the old Ecclesiastical Provinces of Mentz, Cologne, and Treves, as far as they extend on the right bank of the Rhine, and excepting the territory of the King of Prussia.
The Elector of Mentz, receives the principality and city of Ratisbon, and Wetzler, with the title of a county.
Sec. 27. The College of Imperial Cities shall for the future consist of the free and independent cities of Augsburg, Lubeck, Nuremberg, Frankfort, Bremen, and Hamburg. They shall possess their respective territories in full sovereignty and jurisdiction. They shall also enjoy a perfect neutrality in all wars of the Empire, and shall always be exempt from any military contribution, ordinary or extraordinary; and in all questions of war or peace, shall be entirely and necessarily dispensed from acceding to the resolutions of the Empire; they shall also separately receive the following indemnities, &c.
BERNE, October 7.
The new Deputies whom our provisional Government had sent to Schwitz, to concert with the Diet, on the part to be taken in the present circumstances, M. Fischer, President of the Commission of Ten, and Frechens of Rumlingen, returned to that city on the 24th. They have brought to General Bachmann the order to dissolve the confederate army. Yesterday and the day before, the contingents of the small Cantons have resumed the road to their homes. That of Schwitz has carried away an Helvetic standard which the confederates took in the battle of the 3d.
It was thought at first that the paid Berne troops would remain; but as it was insisted that they also should be disbanded, they have conformed to that invitation, and are about to be dissolved likewise. The levies of troops, commanded in a great number of Cantons, are suspended in all. General Aufder-Mout, who passed some days here, is gone to Schwitz. General Bachmann is still there with his Etat-Major and his headquarters.
The Commission of Ten has just addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants of the Canton of Berne, to thank them for the important services they have rendered to the public weal, and for the zeal they have manifested for the re-establishment of the ancient regime. They have invited them to remain tranquil in their homes.
Gradolphe, Secretary of Legation to Citizen Verninac, has been here for some days; he invited the Commission of Ten to assemble, and made them important overtures. We have room to hope that tranquility will be soon restored, and that our affairs will be arranged in a satisfactory manner.
Yesterday General Rapp gave a grand dinner, at which General Bachmann was present with his Etat-Major. The free corps of Berne will serve as a guard of honor to General Rapp during his stay here.
The Helvetic government, and the two demi brigades are not yet arrived.
FRONTIERS OF SWITZERLAND, October 18.
What we expected to see has happened; the promised moderation has not taken place. The light blue ribband of Zurich, which was to be the signal of union, has not prevented innumerable arrests, insults, and outrages. On the 10th the old Pastor, Tobler, was fired at in the city, but fortunately the ball missed him. The captain of the Helvetic grenadiers, Grimm, has been treated in a barbarous manner.
Every day new arrests are heard of. It is true that we are far from placing these facts at the doors of those who are now in power; but as they remain unpunished, that gives us at least suspicions of imbecility. It is said that the country people, who make common cause with the ruling party, is composed of all the ancient Bailies, Gressiers, Serjeants, Archers, and their partisans, from whom we cannot surely expect any thing but resistance to the new order of things.
From Aarburg we learn, under date of the 16th that 150 prisoners of Friburgh and the Lemann have planted the tree of liberty in the midst of the airs of Ca Ira and Marseilloise.
The troops of Basle, who had been required to keep ready for marching at the first signal to join Bachmann's army, have received orders to remain where they are.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, December 17.
Mr. John C. Smith Chairman of the committee of claims reported on the petition of Joseph Ward & others, "praying the payment of certain bills of credit called new emission bills ," that the said committee concur in the report of the secretary of the treasury thereon, and are of opinion that the prayer thereof, ought not to be granted.
Mr. Dawson renewed his motion which was negatived yesterday, "that the house resolve itself into a committee of the whole to take into consideration the President's Message." Agreed to.
Mr. John C. Smith in the Chair.
Mr. Dawson then moved the following resolution:
Resolved, "That so much of the President's Message as relates to the protection of commerce & navigation, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures."
"That part which relates to our finances, to the committee of Ways and Means."
"That which relates to our Indian neighbors &c. to a select committee."
Also, "that of navy yards and docks to a select committee."
Mr. Dennis. What related to commerce particularly, including discriminating and countervailing duties, might be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures; but that part which applied to the protection of commerce, and navigation, including the Mediterranean trade, might with more propriety be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Nicholson. The resolution just read is too broad in its nature. It refers every thing relating to our commerce to the committee of commerce and manufactures—If they have all this to do, they cannot execute the other necessary business which will come before them, during the session.
Mr. Griswold. It must be obvious to this committee, that it is much better to word the resolution in such manner, as to
point out specific objects of attention; the committee of commerce and manufactures will have too much to do. I could wish the gentlemen from Virginia would agree to this proposition.
Mr. Dennis moved to strike out the words "relating to the protection of commerce," and insert the words, "discriminating and countervailing duties including the act of the British Parliament." Amendment agreed to.
Mr. Rutledge observed that it had been usual to refer all matters relating to the protection of commerce and navigation to a naval committee, he hoped the house would now adhere to former practices.
Mr. Mitchell moved, that so much of the President's Message, as respected the return of American seamen left abroad, be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Griswold wished the gentleman to strike out the words, "commerce and manufactures," in order that it might be referred to a select committee. It was of considerable importance, and the committee of commerce and manufactures would not have time to afford the consideration the subject demanded. Agreed to.
Mr. Mitchell moved, 'that the affairs of Tripoli and other Barbary powers, be referred to a select committee.'
Mr. Vaunum moved, that so much of the President's message as relates to the militia institutions of the U. States, be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Griswold was happy that a subject so important as the fisheries, had been noticed by the President, and moved that the same be referred to a select committee.
On motion, the committee rose; the chairman reported in substance the following resolutions, which were agreed to by the house.
1. That so much of the President's message as relates to discriminating and countervailing duties, including the act of the British Parliament, be referred to the committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
2. What relates to the finances, to the committee of Ways and Means.
3. The concerns of our Indian neighbours, and the new settlements on the frontiers, to a select committee.
4. Navy yards and docks, to a select committee.
5. The affairs of Tripoli and other Barbary powers, to a select committee.
6. The militia institutions of the U. States, to a select committee.
7. That part of the President's message, which relates to fostering the fisheries of the United States, to a select committee.
Mr. Randolph said, a recent occurrence had happened, in which every member of this house was interested, in which every individual of the United States was concerned. It was in vain for him to attempt to impress on the minds of gentlemen in this house, the importance of the free navigation of the Mississippi river. In that is involved the commerce of a vast and extensive country, growing in wealth and population. It behoves the Atlantic states, it is the duty of the government to cherish and foster the inhabitants of that part of our territory, and to check any encroachments which may be attempted on their navigation and trade.

Extract of a letter from Nashville, Ten. to a member of Congress, dated Nov. 22, 1802.
SIR,
"The scarcity and high price of salt calls my attention that way. It has lately come to my knowledge that the United States have procured from the Indians a right in perpetuity to the saline on the West side the Wabash near the Ohio. In all probability a law will be passed on the subject, authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to lease out this tract of land and I take the liberty to offer my ideas on the subject. The principal care should be to guard against a monopoly of that article. This I suppose would be best done and the real interest of the United States best insured by letting the land for a period, say of seven, ten or twelve years, to the highest bidder—not aiming for the first period to obtain the highest price in money for the rent but the greatest quantity of salt. As suppose it might be rented for 5000 dollars per annum without any obligation to make a certain quantity of salt—let it go at half that sum of money or less if the lessee will engage to make 40,000 bushels of salt, and it he will engage to make as much salt as the king at Holstein makes, then for a still smaller annual rent—diminishing the annual money rent in proportion as he will make a greater quantity of salt. In reality the expence of preparing for the business ought to make the first year of the lease be nothing other than an obligation to make a certain quantity of salt.
"Before this reaches you, you will have seen the Spanish Intendant of Orleans his proclamation for shutting that port against the citizens of the United States, and probably will be possessed of other information on the subject which I have not. You can scarce conceive how the passions of the citizens of this part of the country are excited by that event. The obscure manner in which the Intendant expresses himself in the beginning of the proclamation, seems as though he had a consciousness he was not acting with an honest intention of fulfilling our treaty with his nation. The treaty provides that his Catholic Majesty will permit the citizens of the United States for the space of three years from this time (27th October, 1795,) to deposit their merchandizes and effects in the port of New Orleans, and to export them from thence, without paying any other duty than a fair price for the hire of the stores. And his Majesty promises either to continue this permission if he finds during that time that it is not prejudicial to the interests of Spain. Or if he should not agree to continue it there he will assign to them, on another part of the banks of the Mississippi an equivalent establishment! Surely it is not in the spirit and intention of this treaty abruptly to shut the port without any previous notice, and without assigning the equivalent establishment."
There is a venerable gentleman, now residing in this town, who can test the falsehood of one assertion in Paine's third letter; and if he has any regard to candor and truth, he will do it. The assertion is, "that Mr. John Adams was one of a party forming in 1777 and 1778, to remove General Washington from the command of the army." Best Gaz.
The serious and reflecting part of the community, ought not, for a moment, to lose sight of a fact, that the infidel who is now engaged in slandering the wisest and most virtuous characters that America can boast of, was invited to this country by Mr. Jefferson, and is now in the habits of intimacy and friendship with him. (ibid.)
From a London Paper of Oct. 23.
"It is said that Bonaparte has formed a plan of getting into his treasury, a part of the produce of the Spanish mines, by means of a National Union Bank, in which Spain and France are to have equal shares, and which is to have one establishment at Madrid, another at Paris, and a third at Peru. By this means bullion might be imported from Peru direct, without passing through Spain. The consequences of this plan if carried into execution, are evident. Spain and France would form one financial corporation; and the latter would have an opportunity of employing the treasures of the former, in carrying on her schemes of aggrandizement. If Bonaparte be really serious in such a scheme, there is little doubt of his being able to execute it in the present crest fallen situation of Spain, where a fatal national decline has at length subdued even those principles of pride and jealousy which for some time kept a degree of warmth in the ashes of her former greatness."

SAMUEL BISHOP, BOOKSELLER, & STATIONER
Respectfully informs the Public that he has received from Lee & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, a fresh assortment of the following Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.
TAKE NOTICE, That S. Bishop is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Outinate Coughs, Asthmas, 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 immediately relieves, 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.
Gentlemen, 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 forensis 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 severe 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—juvenile inconsideration—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Consumptions, Indigestion, Lowness of spirits, Melancholy, Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach, Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs, Hysterical affections, Relaxations, Inward weakness, Involuntary emissions, Seminal weakness, Obligate gleet, Fluor albus, (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c. Barrenness,
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 repair 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. An 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 reduced to 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 out of 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 cured 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 Terec 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—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid 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—Excessive 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.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
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.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER , minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown.
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 mercurious, but upon close inspection quite repl
with very small living animals. Not one of the 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 MOLTHER.

THE SUBSCRIBER does, in explicit terms, forbid all persons from hunting or fowling on his land. Besides depriving him of the advantages which are to be derived from this source, his fences (which are erected at considerable expense) are thrown down, his pastures made a common, and continual depredations made on his sheep and hogs.
It would be painful to prosecute any person for a trespass of this kind; but after this public notice, he is determined to proceed with the utmost rigor against any one who, in violation thereof, shall invade his property.
