From the Glasgow Journal, June 21.
The intelligence received last week from the continent, has been more considerable in quantity than in the importance, either of any of the separate particulars or of the whole. We have had Paris papers to the 4th instant. Papers from Leyden, to the same date—papers from Hamburg, to the 8th.
RUSSIA.
From St. Petersburg we learn that the inland navigation of the Russian empire has been opened from the frost, this season, much sooner than usual; vessels were every where passing and repassing as early as the middle of April. The Russian embassy to China consists, in all, of two hundred and thirty-nine persons, who travel in three divisions, and are to rendezvous at Irkutsk. Captain Von Krusenstern, commander of the Russian expedition round the world, has been lately honored with admission in the Russian order of St. Anne's. A company has been instituted at Cherson to trade on the Black Sea. Their capital consists of one thousand shares, each one thousand rubles. There is also a company for trade on the White Sea. The Russian government is providing, with great anxiety, against the introduction of pestilential disease in old clothes.
SWEDEN.
Our intelligence from Stockholm states little more than that their majesties and the crown prince were going on an excursion to Schoenen; and that the Prussian minister Von Tarrach, brother to the marquis Lucchesini, was, with his secretary of legation, about to leave Stockholm.
DENMARK.
From Copenhagen we are informed, that seven books have been recently introduced in the king's library—one of the noblest in the world—which have on the margins considerable notes in the handwriting of the famous Tycho Brake. They were purchased at Vienna. The silver of the famous mines of Kongsberg in Norway, was supposed to have been exhausted; and they have not for a number of years been wrought with material advantage. But a new vein of silver ore has recently been discovered, which promises to make those mines once more a valuable possession of the crown of Denmark. The Danish merchants have, of late, gained considerably by a new navigation to Leghorn. One ship has brought a freight of nearly seven thousand rix dollars for a voyage from Leghorn to Tonningen. Another has got two thousand guineas freight to Lisbon.
PRUSSIA.
The troops encamped between Corbeliz and Pictzajhl performed their field exercises before his Prussian majesty on the 27th, the 28th, and the 29th of May. Berlin is, assuredly, the centre of the negotiations between France and the powers of the north, for a general peace. It is not true that marshall Moellendorff and the duke of Brunswick have refused the insignia of Bonaparte's order of the Legion of Honor.
AUSTRIAN EMPIRE.
Our letters from Vienna have informed us, that the emperor and his ministers view Bonaparte's movements in Italy with extreme jealousy.
One encampment of sixty five thousand Austrian troops is about to be formed at Pettau in Syria. Another of forty thousand men will be formed near Treviso. Grain is exceedingly dear at Vienna. There is a promise of an abundant produce of fruits in the vineyards and orchards. Not fewer than one thousand seven hundred & ninety four persons died at Vienna, in the month of April only.
HOLLAND.
M. Schimmelpennick, is now Bonaparte's Viceroy in Holland. His first grand acts are said to have been, to surrender the Cape of Good Hope by formal though secret cession to Bonaparte, and to enforce restrictions upon the trade with England by neutrals, such as must utterly ruin the commercial interests of his country. The Dutch are fleeing, in multitudes from his government, to Louisiana and the other wilds of America.
FRANCE.
It is the confession of the French themselves at this moment that their trade is utterly ruined. They have nothing to loose at sea. The levies to supply the fleets and armies necessarily ruin their husbandry, their manufactures, and the mental services of their great towns. They have sunk down into that political torpor respecting their internal government, which prevailed in the days of Louis the fourteenth, when they cared for nothing but the pride
and glory of their grand Monarque. Bonaparte tells them that he is great, and that they are great under him; and they lay their necks before him in the dust, and suffer him to tread upon them. They rejoiced on the 23d May, almost as generally and as heartily, for Bonaparte's accession to the throne of Italy, as their great-great grand fathers could have done if the same had happened to Louis the Great. They are not a little proud just now, that they should have ships of war out at sea, which are not brought into an English port. Some of them actually consider Bonaparte as the restorer of the empire of Charlemange, or rather the author of a new dynasty more glorious than his. Yet numbers of them submit only by necessity and languid torpor. They hate the government which they endure to avoid new revolutionary tumults and massacres. The preparations along the coast are considerable. But they menace nothing formidable to England, if England shall not by imprudent contempt of them be thrown off her guard. The boast in the French newspapers upon the success with which the combined fleets have hitherto alluded our attacks, are the most ludicrously braggard that could possibly escape from the pen or tongue of a Frenchman. Two men, Dubuc, and another, have been lately shot at Paris, under a charge that they were spies for the English.
SPAIN.
Our late intelligence from Spain has come almost entirely through a French medium. The Prince of peace does what he can to rouse the people to arms. The ravages of the fever have not yet been renewed. Unusual activity prevails in the ports. A squadron fitted out at Carthagena has made two fruitless attempts to join them at Cadiz. An English squadron was seen off Minorca, on the twenty second of March.
NEW-YORK. August 17.
Combined Fleet—Latest.
The English papers by the ship Sally, capt. Wells, from Liverpool, at Newburyport, are not so late as those received at Boston.
In the Sally came passengers the lady of the Governor of Montserrat, and Messrs. Dresdale and Cook, late supercargoes of two of the English merchantmen burnt by the French fleet; these passengers were put on board capt. Wells, from the combined French and Spanish fleets, in lat. 43, 30, long. 22, 30, on the 6th July, then within 700 miles of Ferrol.
The English fleet of merchantmen, 14 in number, were burnt 17th June, after they had been in possession of the French eight days.
The brig Success, capt. Brum of this port, sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, for New York, on the 6th of July. On the 13th she was captured two leagues from Cape St. Anthony by a Spanish galley (belonging to Havana) without deck with two masts and two square sails, and called La Bonne Union. The galley was commanded by captain Cæsar, and manned with 30 or 40 Spaniards and Frenchmen, with one Irishman who served as an interpreter. Three days after they were taken, captain Brum, the passengers (eight in number) and the hands, were all ordered below, and the hatchets shut upon them.
In this situation they were kept through the night. In the morning the pirates prepared their knives, cutlasses and clubs, opened the forecastle, and called for the captain. One of the seamen (Peter Duchemin) with the view of preserving the captain's life, stepped forward, and ascended to the deck. The ruffians, with their instruments of slaughter, having arranged themselves in two ranks, compelled the seamen to run the gauntlet, while each gave him a blow, a gash, or a stab, as he passed. Captain Brum and his passengers and crew were all in succession taken from the hold and treated with the same horrid cruelty, excepting five French passengers. An English gentleman, by the name of Smith, who was one of the passengers, was beaten with such severity that he sprang into the long-boat and broke his ankle in two places. The mate of the brig, two English passengers and two seamen were put in irons on board the galley, and three days afterwards were sent ashore at Couyabouts, about 180 miles from Havana; and the brig with the captain and remainder of the crew were sent to Campeachy.
These facts were received from Peter Datchemin, one of the seamen who were sent ashore in irons. He made his escape from Couyabouts, put himself on board the ship Cato and arrived at this port on Monday last.
The object of these barbarous wretches was money. They offered to release the captain and ship on receiving 6,000 dollars. (Com. Adv.)
Arrived, brig Henry, Dennison, from St. Croix (Bass End). Left brig Ariel, Gardiner, to sail for Philadelphia in 15 days. August 1st, lat. 24, 20, long. 67, 20, was brought too by a French or Spanish privateer of one gun, with yellow sides, red bottom, and no topsail. At 9 was boarded by 7 men, who ordered me with my papers and 8 of the crew on board the privateer. After examining the papers I was permitted to return to the brig, with orders to send Mr. McDougal, a passenger, his wife, and 5 other female passengers on board the privateer. During their absence the privateer's men broke open the trunks of the passengers, and stole thereout 1500 dollars. They also took away all the live stock, poultry, wine, cordage, and many other articles. The brig Planter, Dennison, being then in company, they robbed her of poultry, &c. and at the same time captured the brig Neptune, Pray, of Philadelphia, belonging to Armrod and Dacosta, and ordered her for Porto Rico. At 4 P. M. the brigs Henry and Planter, were released, and we made sail. The privateer was manned with about 30 mulattoes and negroes, and had in company the brig William, Thompson, of New Haven, captured 3 days before, and a Hamburg barque, which they ordered for the west end of Port Rico. August 9, in lat. 26, 33, long. 71, spoke brig Freeman, Norey, 13 days from Tobago for New Haven.
Arrived, ship Ambition, Nexsen, in 12 days from Havanna. Left, ship Aurora, Fairchild, for New York in 14 days; brig Lion, Campin, do. next day; ship Hope, uncertain; a New York schooner from Laguira, with Barker's signal, arrived the day before the Ambition sailed; brig Pallas, Lake, of Portsmouth in 10 days; all for New York. A French or Spanish privateer had taken an Eastern brig commanded by captain Lee from Jamaica—they put the crew on shore at the S. W. end of Cuba. The mate, a passenger and two men had arrived at Havanna three days before the Ambition sailed, and informed that the captain had been massacred and thrown overboard!
Sugars at Havanna were rising. Arrived, the brig Phoebe, Spencer, in 27 days from Demerara, and 12 from St. Thomas. Sailed in company from Demerara, brig Fidelity, Jenkins; schooners Fishhawk Cook, for Salem; Topsham Beauty, Millett, for Cape Ann, and Jack Tar, for Gloucester. Left, after the raising of the embargo, the following vessels, chiefly ready for sea, and to sail in a few days, viz. ship Diana, Harden, Boston; brigs Polly, Kenison, Portsmouth; Joseph, Salter, do. First Attempt, Anderson, Boston; Dolphin, Truant, ditto; Dispatch, Strong, Portland; Argo, Copeland, Boston; Jane, Woodward do. Little John, Adams, N. York, in 7 days; Regeneration, Barnes, Portsmouth, [had not come to an entry]; Frost, Portsmouth; Harriet, Baker, Portland; Active, Bennett, Cape Ann; barque Jane, Pool, Portsmouth, just arrived; schrs. Harriet, Young, B. more or Norfolk; Ariel, Cooley, New London; Sally, Furnell, Portsmouth; Louisiana, Lovell, Boston; George, Hewitt, do. Chandler, do. Richard, M'Gaut, New London, and Mason, Portsmouth.
On the 18th July arrived the schooner Stevens from Baltimore, and brig America, Pray from Portsmouth. Capt. Pray said he was brought to by a French privateer brig in lat. 28, long. 54, in the night, and ordered on board with his papers; that when he passed over the privateer's gangway he was first saluted with a severe flogging, and his pockets rumaged. The boat was then immediately dispatched to his brig and plundered of every thing they could lay their hands on. Capt. P's mate was very severely flogged, and the people abused.
Capt. Spencer, on the 22d July, in lat. 8, 17 long. 58, 30 was brought to by a Spanish privateer schr. and pre emptorily ordered on board with his papers; was received very roughly, and after enquiring where from was told he must pay twenty dollars for the extra shots they fired to bring him to. When captain S. told them he had no money, they said they must take what he had, and immediately dispatched a boat on board the brig, and robbed her of half of the live stock, small stores, liquors, &c. They refused to tell the name of the captain or vessel but learned that she cruised from the Oronoko. The pilot boat schooner Virginia of New York, sailed to windward the same day with schooner Phoebe. Spoke, August 9,
in lat. 27, 30, long. 69, brig Ontario from New York for Trinidad.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20.
NEGOCIATION WITH SPAIN.
We are enabled to state on authority which we deem correct, that the matters in dispute, between the United States & the government of Spain have been amicably adjusted, and that dispatches on this important subject, from our minister at Madrid, are now on their way to the executive. (Phil. Reg.)
Most of our readers will recollect the capture of the ship Golden Grove from this port to Liverpool in May last. There have always existed strong suspicions that the privateer which captured her, was fitted out in this country, which suspicions are now confirmed. It appears the Golden Grove went out in company with a number of vessels; among others, a small tender which was observed in Hampton Roads for six or eight days, of which no notice was taken, until Cape Henry bore S. W. distant about six miles, when the schooner run alongside of the Golden Grove, hoisted Spanish colors, fired one gun, and a volley of small arms, and boarding made prize of her. It now appeared that the schooner had four guns, which had been concealed by throwing sails over them, and 37 men, most of whom were concealed in the hold. The privateer was commanded by an American, one Hooper; there were also many other Americans on board, who the Captain and officers of the Golden Grove recognized, as having been seen in this place, going on board the different British vessels under the pretext of enquiring for passengers, but with a view to ascertain their force and time of sailing. [Norfolk Ledger]
Letters received yesterday from the Havanna, state an important occurrence, in the modern spirit of revolutionary measures—the almost entire suppression of the monastic and religious orders in that island, and which of course will not be confined to that colony. A royal order has lately been received there for the sale of all property belonging to those religious establishments; confiscating of houses and lands, sugar and coffee estates, and negroes, as well as mortgages, debts, &c. due to them. The monies arising therefrom are to be paid into the treasury of the king, who will provide for the persons so dispossessed, by paying them a certain allowance per diem for their support. The revenue arising therefrom must, doubtless, be immense; and the purposes to which it is to be applied, and the source to which this serious innovation may be traced, do not require the gift of divination to ascertain. It may, perhaps, be considered as only a preliminary step to more serious changes in the Spanish government and nation.
The commissioners nominated to enforce the aforesaid decree in the Havanna, and the island, are—the Governor, the Bishop, the Intendant General, the Collector of the Customs, and Don J. B. Munoz. [Daily Gaz.]
We are happy to inform the public, that the regulations lately adopted by government for the reception and delivery of the salt made at the Great Saline, near the mouth of the Wabash have answered the most sanguine expectations. Salt is now made in greater quantities than the ordinary supplies of the country require: a large quantity has been on hand for some time past. From the quantity and quality of the water, the extent of the works, and the regulations that have been made for carrying them on, we have most flattering prospects, that the greater part of the western country will hereafter obtain a constant supply of salt at these lick. [Ind. Gazette.]
Extract of a letter from a passenger on board the ship Alexander, dated London, June 20th, 1805.
"I herewith have the pleasure of informing you of my safe arrival here, after a passage of 29 days. Owing to the fear of meeting with ice, our captain directed his course as far south as 38 degrees, which prolonged our passage at least 8 days. Although we have seen no ice, we have several times heard the rolling of it distinctly. Other vessels that have not used the same precaution, must have either perished, or suffered a great deal. This has been the case with the ship Thomas, of New York, bound to Hull, which has been fallen in with at sea, having five feet water in her hold, and it is thought has not been able to make a port."
Extract of a letter from captain Wm. H. Smith, master of the sloop Rebecca, bound from New York to Washington (N. C.) dated August 2, 1805.
Five days after leaving New-York, in lat. 36, 26, N. long. 72, W. I came across the schooner Intrepid, J. Williams, master, bound to the Havanna, which was sinking; I saved the crew (seven in number) and her sails, but the sea running high, and being in the Gulf, I could not save her cargo. The crew are all well and safe arrived over the bar.

The America, capt. Lelar, sailed from Amsterdam the 23d June, was boarded off Dover by a British cruiser, and informed that there were stationed in the narrow seas, 3 cruisers, with orders to seize for adjudication all neutral vessels bound to the ports of Holland and France, or to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope: that they had a list of Americans on those ports, and their destination: that they had sent in the ship Williamson, of Boston, for Batavia (cleared out for Madras); and that she was condemned: that the ship Active, Morris, of this port, and the ship Antwerp for Canton, was detained in the Downs.
July 10, lat. 45, long. 32, captain Lelar spoke brig William and Mary, of and from Charleston to Amsterdam, all well.
From late London papers received at Boston.
BRITISH WEST INDIA TRADE.
Lord Holland, after expressing his anxiety that a good understanding should be preserved with the United States of America, and his surprise at the conduct of several of the West India Governors, moved for certain papers respecting the intercourse between the U. S. and the islands—Lord Stanhope supported the motion recommending the cultivation of a close connexion between Great Britain & "the wise, the moderate and upright population of America." Earl Camden says, the system which now controlled the governors of the West Indies, was the same which was acted upon at the conclusion of the last war. That if a change was agreed to, it could not be well arranged now, as the session was very near its close; and if the motion should be brought forward early next session ministers would give all the information that could be wished; but if the motion was now persisted in he should be obliged to move the other orders of the day. The motion not being withdrawn, earl Camden moved the other orders, which were agreed to, yeas 14, nays 8.—House of Lords, July 4.
The late incorporation of Genoa with France is a remarkable instance of the recurrence of similar events in distant periods. In 1353, having been pressed by John Visconti, governor of Milan, the Genoese surrendered their territories to him, exactly as they now have done to Bonaparte. They did it in the same manner and in the same place—by a deputation to Milan. Petrarch gives the words used by the deputation:—"We come by order of the people of Genoa to offer you the city of Geneva, its inhabitants, their sea and their land, their goods, their homes and estates, and every thing that belongs to them, both sacred and profane, from Corvo to Monaco, on certain conditions, that shall be agreed upon." Visconti accepted the offer, not to extend his dominions, but out of compassion to an oppressed people."
Gen. sir Eyre Coote is, we hear, nominated to succeed the present governor of Jamaica; and it is said that the expedition which was intended to sail from Cork, under general Coote, is for the present laid aside.
Hamilton Rowan has returned to Ireland, having received his majesty's pardon. He made promises of future loyalty in open court.
When the fleet cleared for action to attack the enemy coming out of Brest a few weeks since, it was calculated that the expense of clearing the Hibernia, admiral Lord Gardner, for action, she being a new ship, and perfectly fitted with cabins, bulk heads, &c. &c. was at least, before the articles could have been replaced, nearly $3,000.
Kotzebue has it is said, been arrested in Italy, as it is supposed, by the order of Bonaparte in consequence of the freedom of his remarks upon the present state of France.
It is said the French government directed that the American wife of Jerome Bonaparte should await at Emden, the final orders of Napoleon. Lodgings were provided for her there; but she had sailed for England.
The following is from the Connecticut Gazette—a paper of distinguished merit and veracity.
TORYISM.
It was an early and primary object with the anti-federalists, to bestow on their opponents the most unpopular epithets. The reason is obvious: that the bulk of mankind are governed by names; and therefore that by fixing on the federalists whatever appellations were odious and discordant to the public ear, they would hold a powerful weapon of attack, when all pretensions to
argument, consistency, and even principle should be abandoned. The event has demonstrated the wisdom of their plan: every man of common information in the country knows, (and every candid man will confess) that more proselytes were gained to democracy by the mis-application of the epithets of tories, monarchists, British agents, &c. to the federal party, than by all the argument, or attempt at argument employed.
Would the men who declaim so loudly about toryism , preserve any kind of consistency in their conduct, we would lay our hand on our mouth, and bear their revilings in silence. Would they exhibit some evidence that their apparent zeal is grounded in sincerity and in principle, we would in charity persuade ourselves that their crimination of the innocent arose from their inability to distinguish them from the guilty. But a man must be more than blind, he must be obstinate and stupid, not to discover the contrary.
TENCH COX
Was a tory during the revolution: Yet one of the first official acts of Mr. Jefferson was the appointment of this tory to the office of Purveyor of Public Supplies.
WILLIAM EDGAR,
During our revolution was in Canada, supplying the Indians with the instruments of death to butcher our countrymen. Yet Mr. Jefferson appointed this tory a commissioner of bankruptcy for the state of New York.
WILLIAM STEPHENS,
During our struggle for liberty, was aiding and assisting the British: for his violent toryism he was proscribed by the legislators of Georgia; and his name now stands on the records of that state, as a traitor . Yet has our wise President appointed him to the important office of U. States District Judge.
JARED MANSFIELD,
Another tory , has been appointed by President Jefferson, Surveyor General of the U. States.
George W. Erwing, also a tory , was appointed by Mr. Jefferson to be American Consul at London.
William Davy, an English agent superintendent of Indian affairs.
These are some (and they are but a small part) of the " old Tories " who have been appointed to office by the " serene and patriotic Jefferson ", (as the Vermont Legislature has it—by that same Mr. Jefferson who, while he was appointing them grounded and attempted to justify the removal of several men from office, on the charge of revolutionary toryism ! (Vide official paper, January 11, 1802.) And what is still worse—old veterans, 'who had spilt their blood and wasted their substance in their country's service,' (General Rufus Putnam, for one, have been dismissed from office to make room for these very tories we have enumerated.
Now if our revolutionists possess any principle—if their bawlings against toryism have proceeded from any thing like honesty—if, in fact, they are not the inconsistent hypocrites we have uniformly believed them to be, they will withdraw their support and their confidence from Mr. Jefferson. For no honest man will justify in one person what he condemns in another.
Perhaps our statement will be met by the all-powerful argument of " federal lies ." Be it so, then: We aver that it is substantially correct; and if the two words, federal lies , are sufficient, in the opinion of any person, to demonstrate its falsity, we say Amen.
But there is another argument of our revolutionists, not less conclusive and irrefutable than the above. It is this—that if a tory approve of Mr. Jefferson's administration, he is no longer a tory , but a genuine republican; and consequently the President is justifiable in turning out a Federalist, and appointing him to office. To these two arguments we have no reply to make; and we pity the poor being who can, with such flimsy stuff, silence the scruples of his conscience.
From the Connecticut Courant.
The sameness of Jacobin principles and practices in France and in the United States.
PART III.
Having stated the principles of the French Jacobins, and shown that the same principles were adopted and avowed by the democratic society in Philadelphia, we will now take a succinct view of the harvest which that corrupt seed has produced in this country. The avowed principles of jacobinism, both in France and in the U. States, may in the main be resolved into
this single position, namely the expediency of placing in the hands of voluntary associations of professed patriots, a controuling power over the constituted authorities.—Let us view this system in actual operation.
It is well understood that the wheels of our national government are moved by a select number of pretended patriots, who have associated together to direct their movements; and have assumed a power paramount to the power of the constituted authorities, and in fact wield the whole people as an engine in their hands. It is also well understood that the members of this junto settle the great affairs of the nation in secret meetings, to which none are admitted but the chosen few, and where whatever be their deliberations, their plans and their plots, they are effectually screened from the eye and the ear of the public. This is as like Parisian jacobins 'as cherry to cherry.'
The members of this privileged order claim the exclusive right of designating the first officer in the union. They meet together in conclave, appoint the future president, and publish their decree, which is held to be binding upon the rest of the people, who have no liberty of exercising their own judgments, and have nothing to do but vote as they are bidden and to receive with loud huzzas, the man whom the junto has been pleased to set over them.
After raising the man of their appointment to the seat of office their next object is to govern him. He is taught to remember his political creators. He must conform to their views and mandates; he must face to the right or to the left; he must march forward or retrograde, with a quick or slow step, as they direct him.—If they say come he must come, if they say go he must go, if they say do this he must do it without a murmur or a wry look.—Should he prove refractory in even a single instance his downfall is inevitable.
The senate too and the house of representatives are placed within the limits of this horrible jacobin vortex. A combination of men principally belonging to certain large states, "Hold evening meetings to decide what shall take place or prevail in "senate"—By this combination nothing "is suffered to come fairly before the senate, that is not either brought forward "by one of the party, or has not their previous sanction." This is the express testimony of Pierce Butler, esq. a senator of the United States from South Carolina, and a distinguished and leading character among the democrats.
Also, James Elliot esq. a democratic member of the house of representatives from the state of Vermont, solemnly testifieth and saith, that "A few ambitious individuals undertake to anticipate the public sentiment upon all important occasions." "That there is a standing caucus "of legislators at Washington;" that "it "is composed of very few individuals and "not one member from the New England "states has been invited to share in its deliberations;" and that "this caucus attempts to govern the union in a very "improper manner."
It is written that "by the mouth of two or three witnesses every thing shall be established." Now here besides "a cloud of witnesses" from among the federalists, jointly testifying to the same point, we have the positive and undeniable testimony of two respectable and leading democrats, clearly proving that there is a junto at the seat of government, which directs and controuls our national legislature precisely in the same manner that the jacobin society in Paris controuled the convention of France.
Our remarks on this interesting subject will probably be concluded in our next.

FOR SALE.
Five hundred acres of LAND, in the County of Alexandria, and five and a half miles from Alexandria and two from Georgetown, one in Wood and part of that heavily timbered. It abounds in excellent water, and has an extensive view of the neighborhood—from its proximity to the City, Georgetown and Alexandria, with the additional convenience of an abundance of wood, few farms within the District claim a pre-eminence. Upon the First Monday in October , I shall attend on the premises for the purpose of disposing of it, if not sold previous to that time. Should it be more accommodating to those (who with a country residence during the fly-month) I will divide it into ten and twenty acre LOTS. Any person wishing to view the Land, by an application to WILLIAM SNELLUM , who lives on it may be gratified. My remoteness and the frequent depredations on the Wood and Timber, are the principal inducements to sell it, not more than one-fifth of the purchase money will be required, and a credit from two to three years will be given for the residue, security by a mortgage, and a forfeiture of the advanced monies, with interest on the sum unpaid, it not punctually and fully discharged.

Terms of sale will be one fourth in cash, or an approved negotiable note at sixty days; the balance in three equal payments, at six, nine and twelve months, bearing interest from the day of sale, and to be secured in such manner as may be determined on and made known at the time and place of sale.

VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINES.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters. PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills, THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow Jaundices, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Costiveness, 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 genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint, called the ITCH. Price 41 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Biliary Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, costiveness, 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.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbatic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.

A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
