ARMINIAN SKELETON.
Subscriptions are received at the Book Store of COTTOM and STEWART, for a BOOK entitled,
THE SKELETONS:
Or, the Arminian Anatomized, and The Carnal Preacher Dissected.
In two Parts.
Part I. The Arminian, or doctrine of Universal Charity pursued, taken, examined, tried, condemned, executed, and anatomized.
Part II. The Carnal Preacher Dissected, with comments on several dark passages of scripture. In a series of letters, written at various times to friends in the country.
Conditions, &c. are left at the above store.
It is the opinion of several respectable clergy men, that the above book contains the ground work and principles of genuine piety, as it manifestly proves, from the scriptures of truth, that the doctrine of free will and universal redemption is unfounded.

The idea of it was originally taken from Dr. Watts's treatise on education section 2d, on the exercise of the natural powers of children, and its execution by Mrs. Trimmer, reflects great honor on her talents and character. It is written in the most easy, familiar and engaging stile, is admirably adapted to please the imagination and excite the curiosity of children, to a further acquaintance with the great object of which it treats.

It now appears that the number of vessels which came out of Boulogne was overrated in the accounts from the coast. Only sixty boats and about as many luggers, were out and they kept close under the batteries. Our Dungeness squadron was on the English coast yesterday---detained by contrary winds.
Adices have been received at the India House, that The Eliza Ann, the Union, and the Sir William Pulteney, which have arrived in the river, have captured a French privateer, la Venus , of 16 guns and 75 men which struck to the Union after a short action, in which the privateer had three men killed and several wounded. The Union had not a single man killed, or even hurt during the action. The prize parted from those ships on the night of the 29th, to the westward of Scilly, but hopes were entertained that she would get safe into port, having only three prisoners left on board, the rest being on board the other ships.
The following ships of the line, which have sailed from Plymouth, are believed to have gone to join the fleet off Brest: Ajax 80 guns, Conquerer 74, Defiance 74 and Majestic 74.
We understand that intelligence has been received from that quarter, stating that the crews of the French ships in Brest harbour are in such a state of mutiny, that the officers have been under the necessity of making some severe examples, in order to quell them.
Since our last we have received French Journals to the 24th ult. and Dutch Papers to the 27th. By the latter we learn, that the French are making general and extensive movements and arrangements in Hanover, indicative of some new operation in that quarter. A great encampment is forming near Luenburgh, with a numerous park or artillery, and extensive depots of stores and provisions. Another corps is assembling in the district of Lauenburgh, whence vast quantities of gun-powder have been conveyed.
Our readers will smile at the pompous title now assumed in the French Official Correspondence. The appellation "Citizen," is now discarded completely, and the Ministers are addressed by the title "My Lord!"
The Emperor of Russia has sent one of his principal officers to Grodno, to compliment Louis on his recent escape, and to make every arrangement that can conduce to his accommodation there. It is said that the Emperor will pay a visit to this illustrious exile, previous to his return to Petersburg.
It is said that the Court of Berlin has sent an invitation to Louis to return to his former asylum; announcing, at the same time, that orders had been issued for making strict enquiry into the recent conspiracy against his life. The King has, however, declined the invitation.
Yesterday morning dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Admiral Louis, at Dungeness dated on Saturday. They state his return to that place late on Friday evening with several ships under his orders, from off Boulogne. The whole of the French flotilla have returned into the inner harbour, with the exception of about 30 sail.
Saturday dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Rear Admiral Thornborough, commanding the blockade of the Texel. They were brought to Yarmouth by the Clyde frigate, at the time of whose departure the enemy remained in the same state as usual.

L'Orient, Thermidor 20th, (August 8th) year 12.
"My Lord,
I had the honor to inform your Excellency on the 18th of this month, that a Portuguese frigate had anchored at Pouldu four leagues from L'Orient. This frigate entered port Liberte yesterday. Madam Lasness, lady to the Ambassador of the Empire to Portugal, landed from it with her two children. His Excellency Don Laurence de Lima, Grand Chamberlain Commandant of Avis, Ambassador extraordinary of Portugal to his majesty the Emperor sent to compliment the Emperor on his accession to the throne, lauded from this vessel also. Also, Don Fernando de Lima, brother of the Ambassador, Don Fernando Joseph Alvaro, Secretary
of Embassy, and the Chevalier de Mello Broyner, nephew of the Ambassador, and Counsellor of the Embassy. The frigate is called the Charlotte, mounting 52 guns, thirty of which are 18 pounders, with 400 men. She is commanded by Don Jose Pedro Pereira de Leite, Captain de Vaisseau.
"The Ambassador told me that the Prince Regent of Portugal had left the frigate at the disposal of Madam Lasness to carry her back to Lisbon. The Ambassador proposes to set out with his suite the day after to-morrow for the place of his destination. The frigate will enter the road of Pennemaneck. The Ambassador and Commandant of this vessel seem satisfied with the reception they have experienced.
"Health and respect, "THEVENARD."
BOULOGNE, August 21.
His Majesty, the Emperor, set out this morning at 6 o'clock, for Etaples, to which he proceeded on horseback through the Estrand. He breakfasted in his wooden house, with the Generals and Colonels of the army; immediately after he went on board the flotilla in the port of Etaples, and examined it minutely. At eleven o'clock he caused the different divisions of the camp, commanded by General Loison, to go through their manœuvres. He was satisfied with their appearance and evolutions. The manœuvres were not finished till five o'clock. It is supposed that his Majesty will remain several days in the camps formed in that neighbourhood.
FALMOUTH, August 31.
Arrived this day, the Lord Charles Spencer packet, capt. Coatesworth, with mails from New-York and Halifax, after a passage of 29 days from the latter.
PLYMOUTH, September 1.
A French boat, with some soldiers, was picked up a few days since, by one of the in-shore squadron: she had been blown out of the harbour of Brest by a gale of wind; the Frenchmen said, on examination, that the whole talk at Brest was, that their fleet would endeavour to get out the first opportunity, as they were ready, and several had troops on board. How far this intelligence may be true, time will evince.
After the above-giving news was prepared for the press, we received London papers to the 11th of September, by the ship Mary, captain Wood, in 40 days passage from Liverpool, containing the following important intelligence:
LONDON, September 10.
The Hamburg mails arrived yesterday. The intelligence which they bring is superceded by accounts of a more recent date, which we have received by the Paris papers to the 2d, and the Dutch to the 6th inst.
Those papers contain a great variety of important information, but the article which may be considered as particularly interesting at this momentous crisis, when the state of Europe, and with it the condition of civilized society, trembles in the balance, relates to the certainty of an immediate rupture between Russia and France:---M. D'Oubril, the Russian charge d'Affaires, has quitted Paris.
His departure is not mentioned in the French official paper, but the fact admits of no doubt, as it is inserted in several of the smaller Paris papers. Whether it was in consequence of an unsatisfactory answer to the Note, which he was understood to have presented shortly after Bonaparte had left the capital, or some peremptory order lately received from his court, we have no means of ascertaining, as the fact is barely mentioned, without any comment whatever.
The Emperor of Germany has declared himself hereditary Emperor of Austria; and has sent new credentials to his minister at Paris, acknowledging the new Emperor Bonaparte.
Bonaparte, after having passed six weeks in reviewing and marshalling his troops and arranging all his immense preparations for the invasion of this country, has at length taken his departure from the coast. Most of his Ministers, and all the foreign Ambassadors, had left Paris, for the purpose of meeting his Imperial Majesty at Aix-la-Chapelle, and of witnessing all the honor and flattery which the constituted authorities will no doubt, profusely pour on the modern Charlemagne. The period of his stay in that city is not mentioned; but there is no prospect of his immediate return to the coast, as we find that he was to continue his journey to Bonn, Coblenz and the principal cities of the newly acquired
departments on the left bank of the Rhine. Upon whom the command of the army of England, and the proud distinction of planting the bonnet rouge , or the French Imperial Eagle , on the tower of London, is to devolve, ad interim , we are unable to conjecture from any thing that occurs in the Paris journals. Indeed we should not be surprised if the motion of the French army to this side of the water had been postponed sine die , for we find that considerable preparations have been making at Strasburg for the reception of his Corsican Majesty, from whence it was expected he would repair to Paris. The anniversary of his usurpation (the 9th of November) is only two months distant, and as it is generally supposed that he means to constitute it also the anniversary of his coronation, it is not very probable that he will, in the interval, expose his army to the possibility of any disasters which may affect his present popularity.
According to private letters from the Hague of the 1st inst. as soon as his Majesty the King of Sweden received information of the libel which Bonaparte caused to be inserted in the Moneur , he immediately dispatched a courier to his charge d'affairs at Paris, Mr. Ackerblad, with orders for him to quit France without taking leave. At the same time orders were sent to Stockholm intimating to Bonaparte's charge d'affairs there, that his presence could be dispensed with in Sweden. All political relations have therefore ceased between Sweden and France; but the Swedish Consul, Gen-M. Seigneul, continues still to reside at Paris for the protection of commerce of the Swedish subjects with France. It is, however, supposed upon the continent, that Napoleon, in a fit of passion, will soon order him away, and declare war against Sweden.
Another report is, that the Russian, Swedish and Danish ministers, have quit Paris.
Our private correspondent at Hamburg has furnished us with the following communication:---"Gen. Berthier is daily expected in this city from Hanover to demand, under the pretence of a loan, another pecuniary contribution of 1500,000 mares banco. The French camp near Lauenburgh is to receive considerable reinforcements.
"The king and queen of Sweden intend to spend the winter at Stralsund. A frigate has been ordered from Stockholm to carry home the Prince Royal. His Majesty persists in refusing to acknowledge Bonaparte as Emperor of France. The Swedish journals, when they allude to him, uniformly style him the soi-disant Emperor."
Lord Keith sailed yesterday morning in the Monarch to join the squadron off Boulogne. Lord Melville and capt. Hope have accompanied his Lordship, for the purpose, it is supposed, for ascertaining the state of the preparations along the French coast.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 21.
In the insurrection which broke out in Aleppo, in Syria, against the new Pacha, in consequence of his burthening the people with oppressive exactions, above 2000 persons lost their lives; 20 000 janissaries first rose, and were joined by 60,000 partisans of the Sheriffs, and entered the castle of the Pacha, in which he bravely defended himself, but was taken by storm.
LEYDEN, August 20.
Reports are circulated at Paris of a triple alliance, offensive and defensive, between the Emperor of Austria and France, and the king of Prussia. Time will shew whether there is any truth in them.
NEW-YORK, October 25.
Captain Ogilvie, who arrived at this port yesterday from Cadiz, confirms the account lately published of the prevalence of the yellow fever at Malaga. From 200 to 250 persons died daily; and all the physicians having fallen victims to it, 12 others and a supply of medicines have been sent thither from Cadiz. The inhabitants as a measure of general safety, are prohibited from quitting Malaga; and are represented as being in a very deplorable situation, not only from the malignant disorder which prevails, but from the want of the common necessaries of life.

LONDON, September 7.
The Hamburg Mail of Yesterday states that to the notification made by the French Ambassador at Stockholm, of the assumption of the imperial dignity by Bonaparte, not the slightest notice was taken by any of the ministers of his Swedish majesty.
The Toulon fleet, when it lately attempted to sail, had twelve hundred land troops on board, and were supposed to be destined for an attack upon Corfu, in case they could have escaped the vigilance of our squadron.
A shock of an earthquake has lately been felt at Amsterdam, the Hague, Schiedam, and other places in Holland, but without any mischief being done.
The foreign papers state, that some important changes of territory in Germany are shortly to take place, and that some propositions upon this subject are about to be submitted to the Diet.
The French papers announce the death of Admiral la Touche Trevieille at Toulon, and of the Cardinal de Boisgelen, Archbishop of Tours, at Paris, in 73d year of his age.
Letters from Cleves of the 25th instant state, that Admiral Story who once commanded the Batavian fleet, and was kept under arrest at that place, is now liberated.
Private letters from Paris, state, that at the Coronation of Bonaparte, as Emperor of the French, a new nobility will be instituted, under the title of Patricians by a Senatus Consultum to be proclaimed upon that occasion. This measure will include all persons with their families and descendants, who within the first ten years of Bonaparte's reign, have occupied or shall occupy the first and great places of state, such as Field Marshals, Commanders in Chief, Generals of Division, Ministers, Cardinals, Grand Officers of the Legion of Honor, &c. &c.
Monthly Agricultural Report.
A month of fine weather has enabled the farmers to get in all their white grain in good condition. The wheat, though injured by the mildew in some places, is in better order than was expected. The late rains which fell on it will assist both the quantity and quality, and will make it much easier to thresh. The crop may be deemed an average good one. The price of this grain has, in the course of the month, experienced considerable fluctuation. It averaged at Mark-lane, on the 6th inst, 60s. 3d.; on the 20th, 63s. 4d.; and on the 27th, 63s. 1d. The present average price of all England is 60s. 1d. Barley was much improved by the rains in the strong lands, and is an excellent crop. The Oats that were out in the wet are considerably discoloured, but on the whole there is no deficiency. The average of Barley is 32s. 6d. and of Oats, 26s. 3d. Beans are a good crop; they are now cut, and will be carried in, in a few days, if the weather continues fine. The crops of Pease are also good, as well as those of Lare. The rains have been very favourable for the Turnips, which have grown very luxuriantly, and are likely to make winter keeping plentiful. The Clovers have been equally benefitted by the rain, and promise a very abundant crop of seed. In the stock there is little variation. Sows are rather dearer. Beef fetches in Smithfield-market, from 4s. 4d. to 5s.; Mutton, from 4s. 4d. to 5s.; and Pork, from 4s. to 5s. per stone of eight pounds.
September 12. It is now pretty accurately ascertained, that Russia, Sweden, and perhaps Denmark, are to enter into an active alliance with us.
Some mon. Dutch papers a recent date arrived yesterday afternoon, in their contents are of little or no importance. Admiral Verheul, during his stay in North
Holland, engaged 60 additional transports for the expedition against England, the expence of which, he said, was to be equally defrayed by France and Holland. He afterwards visited the Camp at Zeist, from whence he returned to the Hague with General Marmont; and after having an interview with the Dutch Government, sent off an express to Bonaparte. Dispatches arrived almost daily in Holland from France, the subject of which occupies the constant attention of the Batavian Directory.
We learn from the coast that the Monarch man of war is returned to the Downs, with Lords Keith and Melville on board after having stood over to the French coast, nearly opposite Dungeness. About one hundred of the enemy's flotilla continued on Monday arranged along shore, close under their batteries; but every thing remains perfectly quiet in that direction.
A part of the Russian fleet, consisting of three ships of the line, two frigates, and a cutter, have passed the Sound, supposed to be destined for the Mediterranean; but it is expected to put into some of our ports for provisions.
A letter from Amsterdam repeats the reports of barracks being about to be erected along the French coast; but adds, that the expedition will certainly sail in a very short time.
September 13. There were no papers received from the continent in the course of yesterday or this morning, but there were abundance of rumours in circulation respecting the intended operations of the French and Russian armies of the Continent.
It was reported, on the authority of the masters of some ships arrived in the river, that a considerable body of Russians had landed on the northern coast of Holstein, and that the French had taken possession of all the principal towns and strong positions in the southern part of that Duchy. If any credit be due to information received in so vague and questionable a shape, the opposing armies have most probably measured their reciprocal strength with each other before this time. But we cannot attach belief to the first of those reports. We are persuaded that Russia will not proceed to actual hostility until the departure of their Representative at Paris shall be officially known at the Court of Petersburg; a communication which can scarcely be made before the middle of this month. The latter report is much more consistent; it is not unlikely but the French might, as a precautionary measure, have occupied some of the commanding positions in that Duchy: but that very circumstance contains in it the seeds of war with Sweden, Russia, and most probably with Denmark. Whether it has been done with the concurrence or without previously consulting that Court, the proceeding must be equally offensive to Russia and Sweden. They are bound to protect the Danish territory if it shall be tyrannically violated; and if the occupation is connived at, it is not to be expected that those Powers tamely allow their enemy to possess himself of so advantageous a position.
The master of a Danish vessel from Tonningen has declared that a courier from General Bernadotte, commanding the French army in Hanover had arrived, in the capital of Holstein, with a notification to Prince Charles of Hesse, the Governor, "that his Duchy would be immediately occupied by a French army, should the Danish Government allow a single company of Russian soldiers to land there;" but offering, at the same time, "to make common cause against foreign invaders."
This we consider as more probable than the report of the actual occupation of that, at present, neutral territory. The violation of the rights of nations, may be regarded as deserved at most, for whenever an open rupture shall take place with either Russia or Sweden, it may be expected that extraordinary step will be immediately taken by the French army.

Extract of a letter from Londonderry, dated August 27.
"We have every prospect of an abundant harvest, if Providence be pleased to send peace and favourable weather. The only thing that renders us uneasy, is a continual fear and alarm of invasion. It appears that there will be an attempt made shortly, unless God has otherwise determined. The country are one mass of armed men."
THE LIMNER.
Mr. Editor,
YOUR male readers have undoubtedly indulged in much merriment at the expence of the fashionable young lady who last week sat (or rather stood) for her picture. But I will now furnish a counterpart to that picture, which, if I mistake not, will smooth down the countenances of the young men, and turn all their light into shade. For, however ridiculous it may appear in the young ladies to cover their foreheads and eyebrows, and expose their bosoms and that most uncomely part, the nape of the neck; to hide a white and beautiful hand in a glove, and uncover an ugly and dark coloured elbow; to make up the fore part of their dresses so parsimoniously as to present to the view the whole shape of their limbs, whilst a superabundance of trail is left behind to sweep the streets—yet a fashionable young gentleman can outdo all this, as will appear from the annexed picture.
"Mr. Pallet," said the young man, taking his position on the floor, "I hope you will not flatter my picture—I wish to be painted just as I am." Indeed, tho' I, as I surveyed him from head to foot, you little suspect what a droll picture you will make. Figure to yourself, reader, a thin stripling—But, hold, let me paint, not describe. "would it not be well to have your hair dressed before I begin," said I. "I am at this instant from the barber's," he replied. At this moment I recollected to have heard that the fashion of wearing wigs had just come over from France; and I concluded that the young man had followed this as well as other fashions; but then I supposed the blundering barber had made a whimsical mistake, by placing the wig the wrong side foremost on the block, and beginning at the neck, combing every lock of hair forward. I asked the young man if this was not the case. He replied, with a surly frown, that it was all right. "A true French fashion," said I—"after turning every thing topsy-turvy, it is no wonder their heads are turned."—I confess I did not much regret that his shirt collar, (which was starched stiff and reached up to his ears,) covered a great part of his face, as it saved me considerable work, although it gave the picture a very uncouth appearance. It was my own fault, that I did not wholly save myself the trouble of painting his hands; for he had them both thrust into his panta-loon pockets, and it was at my request that he withdrew one of them for a copy. Here I had a disagreeable task to perform; for it was necessary either to represent his hand as a perfect claw, or to depart from his directions to paint him as he was. His nails were pared down to the quick at the corners, and left long, sharp and pointed in the middle. I have long observed this ridiculous custom with surprize, as it has neither convenience, cleanliness, nor beauty to recommend it. Nails prepared in this way, might be of great use in scratch-fighting, and are therefore more proper for cats or dogs than for tame young men. Short waistcoats have been much ridiculed, but in my opinion, very unjustly. I could shew had I time, that, exclusive of the saving (which is now all the rage) there are incalculable advantages in short waistcoats. My subject had carried this fashion to the utmost excess. Of course I was not long detained about his vest. In short, the picture, save only the boots, was soon despatched. But, the boots—Oh, what a field for black paint. The spindle shanks of the young man, stood in a pair of monstrous large Surwarrows; and I could compare them to nothing but pestles in mortars.
Reader, the picture is finished—look at it. PETER PALLET. (Balance.)

The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
LIKEWISE, Wheaton's patent Itch Ointment, Price only 50 cents.
The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either dangerous or disagreeable, it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder.

REANIMATION. WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave having used every remedy recommended as specific in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, We received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect, we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since the began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice to horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kill early in April to stop until we go to Ball's-Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
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 name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The Lozenges of Steel, are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs. R. & J. GRAY.
WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND,
A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines,
—CONSISTING OF— Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops;  Antibilious Pills;  Anodyne Essence for Head Aches;  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.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills
For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrescent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious
Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventive, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventive, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine
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 foreign remedy for all diseases of the eyes; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and film; never fails to cure those maladies 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 superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a 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 promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumption have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping-cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded 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 unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson'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 consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for the 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 Lozenges, 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 matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length and the third
dose, a large quantity of slimy offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine DR. BARDWELL'S
Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholick and D sentery.
Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent wetness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price, 1 dol. and 1 dollar and 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle. Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, 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, windy cholick, urfets, hysterick vapours, faintness and tremblings, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stoppages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally 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 imitation thereof; the proprietor hath reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be painted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness. For many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS OF HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.

TRAVELS IN GREECE. PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE TRAVELS OF Anacharsis the Younger, IN GREECE:
During the middle of the fourth Century, before the Christian Era,
With copious Notes and References.
BY THE ABBE BARTHELEMY, Keeper of the Medals in the Cabinet of the King of France, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres.
Translated from the French. First American, from the fourth London edition, IN FOUR VOLUMES.
THE work now offered to the American reader exhibits a complete view of the antiquities, manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the period of its greatest splendour. A knowledge of these has hitherto been only attainable by a laborious perusal of writers who have been little solicitous to join entertainment with instruction. The Travels of Anacharsis, on the contrary, are so written, that the reader may frequently be induced to imagine he is perusing a work of mere amusement, invention, and fancy; till his eye glances to the bottom of the page, when he perceives there is scarcely a sentence, and not a single fact or circumstance, but is supported by the authority of some ancient author. The a number of these quotations may, perhaps, at first sight, seem to have been unnecessary, and to have more the appearance of a parade of erudition, than to be of any real utility; but it is to be remembered that, at the same time that they must be highly acceptable to the man of real learning, by enabling him to refer immediately to the original author, they are extremely useful, nay, we may say, absolutely necessary, even to such readers as can never be supposed to have any intention to consult the authorities quoted; as they clearly show that such an idea, or such a circumstance, is not merely a decoration or the offspring of the fancy of the author, but immediately taken from some ancient writer, and therefore perfectly accordant to the general scope and plan of the work.
TERMS.
I. The first Edition in America of Anacharsis Travels, will be comprised in four Vols octavo.
II. It shall be printed on handsome wove paper and a new type casting for the purpose. Each Volume will contain about 400 pages.
III. The price to Subscribers, per Vol. bound and lettered, will be 2 dollars; in boards, 1 dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume.
The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per set.
IV. There shall be a handsome Map of Greece given with the first Volume, to be executed by one of the best Engravers.
V. Those who obtain ten Subscribers and become responsible for the payment of the same shall receive one copy gratis. The work is now at Press, and shall be finished with all possible dispatch.
Subscriptions to the above work received at Robert & John Gray's book Store, Alexandria.
