PUBLIC SALE.
SOME of the Legatees of the late Mr. William Triplett, having objected to a division of the decedant's estate, which he recommended in his will to be done, we, therefore, as executors, will expose to public sale, at Round Hill, his late residence, on Wednesday the 14th of December next, ALL THE ESTATE, real and personal, of which the died seized.
The ROUND HILL Tract, containing nearly four hundred acres, is a most desirable and healthy situation, on which is built a brick house one story high, fifty four feet long, and eighteen feet wide; four rooms on the lower floor, with a fire place and closets in each, and a passage eight feet wide; three rooms upstairs, two of them with fire places, a good cellar and kitchen under the house: a framed barn, dairy, stables for ten horses, carriage house, two corn houses, one granary, meat house, and quarters, well calculated for the accommodation of thirty negroes; an apple orchard of excellent fruit, and a garden paled in. This farm is well known to be one of most productive in the county, and now in a high and improved state, being well fenced and divided into convenient fields for farming; there are eighty acres of timothy meadow, producing from eighty to one hundred tons a year; fifty acres of new meadow may be made and watered at a small expence. The crops of small grain have generally been from 500 to 600 bushels, and of corn 300 barrels.
Near this lies another Tract of about four hundred acres, heavily timbered with pine, oak and hickory, with good springs and fine high, healthy situations for building; the post road, from north to south, passes thro' those two tracts, which affords two excellent stands for taverns, and also for tan yards, being not more than eight miles from Alexandria and sixteen from Washington.
Also, another Tract lying on the main branch of Tilloz's creek, about two miles from Colechester, on which Mr. William Triplett now lives, containing upwards of 100 acres; the building is a good farm house, in a healthy situation, a good orchard and fine water.
At the same time and place will be sold, thirty valuable SLAVES, men, women and children; some plate, a watch, books, (among which are some valuable classics) household furniture, and beds of a good quality, bed and table linen, kitchen furniture, a coach and harness, one waggon and cart, farming utensils, horses, mule, one yoke of excellent oxen, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c.
The terms of sale for the land are, one third payable on the day of sale, (at which time deeds will be made the purchaser) one third in six months, and the other third in 12 months, with interest from the day of sale. A deed of trust will be taken to secure the two last payments. The Negroes will be sold at 12 months credit, and the other property at a credit of nine months: for all sums over twenty dollars bonds, with approved security will be required of the purchasers.
Major George Triplett, on the re-mises, will show the land, with a correct plat survey lately made by Col. Wm. Payne, County Surveyor, at the instance of the executors. The title papers will be exhibited on the day of sale by
CHARLES LITTLE, } Executors.
AND GEORGE TRIPLETT, }

MR. SNOWDEN, The enclosed was partly written during the first weeks of the late awful malady, and though marked with but little precision, nor possessing that which constitutes the beauty of blank verse, may, perhaps, be not unworthy of a place in your paper—as the mournful occurrences related tend to shew the distress then prevalent, which ought to be impressed on every mind.
DEATH ruthless foe, triumphant rides at large
For victory equip'd! undaunted, fierce, Elate he marches on, passing quick His Herald to the field; while on his shield Imprest, in characters of sable hue His devise thus appears, "To conquer lo I come." Nor the assaulted can his pow'r Contest, strength wastes, consumes alas apace, The combat, with force unequal, terminates In the besieged's fall. He comes, he comes, The tyrant comes! his motto proving good; Pale dismay his attendant still. But hark That clarion from on high! of import great The tidings, no doubt, sent must prove, what says
It to the heart? Tho' from an arm strong nerv'd The darts of death promiscuous seem To fly around; each from above has their Commission given, the warrant sign'd, made Up and seal'd; nor does the smiting angel Aught, but execute the great, eternal Wise decree of him, who spake, and lo, the vast, The countless multitudes of circling worlds Arose, from undigested mass arose. He who all things orders right and just, his Dispensations deals around at will, nor One will leave this earthly scene uncall'd. What Grateful sounds to the desponding mind! But Oh! this mournful repetition still Stupidity itself must wake; for sure When life's thin, flimsy textur'd curtain drops, Decisive round; the man whose shield bears faith Imprest, and wan Despair's loath baggard seen Alone, can calmly sit amid the awful Scene. Another, and another victim Falls, in long oblivion wrapt—nor sex, nor Age, nor opulent, nor poor, nor mil'ry's Clan, nor yet gay pleasure's train, the subtle Foe eludes, who goes his round unseen With talion backward bent to rive alas! The victim of his pow'r. The tumbril Lo, this morn, the beauteous Catharine To the grave convey'd! Youthful, lovely Fair, late blooming as a rose, the fairest Rose by nature's hand e'er wove; on downy Pillow rock'd, her heart soft as the down, lov'd And esteemed the grew, yet died alas! Far from her friends, save him, whose name ob-
scure She bore, and as a stranger buried. Cold, likewise cold the poor Sophia lies At rest! whose fands were well nigh worn, yet toil'd From summer's morn, 'till evening tide com-
menced, Content, so life's bare sustenance was earn'd. Lo, to again, a youth cut down! destroyed In hope's sweet hour. Ah why this callous fence
Continued still? Seems death less awful say, Than when the heart shrunk terrified at his Announc'd approach?—'Tis not from hope be-
yond The grave, that comforter celestial! Ah no! All, all is darkness there—no ray Divine appears, to light the darksome hour. Yet he, who hast declar'd, mercy his first, His dearest attribute above resides. Ah me, death's awful hearse again! Yon Solitary vehicle this way moving On, the lone gay, beauteous maid To the cold, icy tomb conveys, nor rights Funereal now displayed. The gloomy Cemetery its guest receives—the corse Is borne along, and lower'd down—the new Rais'd pile appears, Ye friends, companions Of the dead! ye gay, ye sprightly fair! ah Where fay now detained? No pall supported, No soft mourner there, whose mingling tears might
Damp the rude, unfeeling clod rebounding On the lonely tenement of death! The heart Late wrapt in apathy to sympathy Awakes, nor for the dead it feels, ah no! The fowling maid, whose silver tuned voice No more is heard, to better worlds has fled, But, oh! her friends, her relatives whom deep Distress, the common scourge, keeps now aloof Must feel, yes, amiable of heart, they Feel the pang corroding of woe exquisite; Denied a parting look, a last embrace Nor sentence heard from her cold dying lips That memory might record, affection dwell On with a zeal her own, extracting thence A balmly antidote to woe extreme.
Time passes cheerless on, day speeds as wont, The gloomy eve arrives, and with it brings A host of fears, for the succeeding day. Thrice happy they, who feel but for themselves, If such on earth exist, yet those who've prov'd The exquisite glow, of sympathy divine, Will envy not such poor, such abject ease.
Death's levelling arm, alas continues Still uplifted high! The lovely widowed Fair, grown sick of life, 'twould seem, since he, her All had gone, her lov'd Orlando's shade Pursues, impatient of the temporary Clay that subdivided love attuned Souls, for ere a moon, a transient moon
Had pass'd, to her an age, no doubt of time His tomb receives her fair, her lily Shrouded form. Ah! what is life? A taper Lit—expir'd—and gone! Those wrapt to day In ideal bliss, gay images of hope Portray'd, or in possession rioting At large, to morrow's sun may see pale with Dismay, the fluid of life by fevers Purch'd, droop, rave in wild delirium die. Nor know we who, the fatal chillness next May seize—the hand that writes may pallid Be by death, ere a short week revolves—the Heart its dearest object shut forever Out. Sad, solemn thought! But hark, death's Deep response again swept thro' the vale! Sad, Sad presentiment of woe! Droop, virtue Droop! the mild, discreet, the feeling, kind, Benevolent and good, her sex's friend, The friend of all is number'd with the cold, Intolerant dead! Nor could the healing art Her valued life prolong; in vain the darksome Road was measur'd by the steed, that bore thro' Night's pernicious air, death's greatest foe, If man can so be termed; she died, and left Her babes, her darling Julia—tender Partner too, whose widow'd heart bears deep grief's Agonizing wound. Yet wisdom dealt the blow, 'Twas fore ordain'd she should in youth depart, Sh is gone alas! But long her memm'ry Will be bath'd in tears, from pure affection's fount.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, November 28.
The bill repealing the act to establish an uniform system of BANKRUPTCY thro' the United States was read the third time, and passed, without a division.
A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had passed, with amendments, the bill which authorises hostilities against Morocco.
On the call of Mr. Jackson, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole—Mr. Dawson in the Chair—on the following resolution:
Resolved that provision be made, by law, for the application of one twentieth part of the nett proceeds of the lands lying within the state of Ohio, sold or to be sold by congress, from and after the 30th day of June 1802, to the laying out, and making public roads, leading from the navigable waters emptying into the Atlantic, to the Ohio; in conformity with the act of congress, entitled "An act to enable the people of the Eastern division of the territory North West of the river Ohio, to form a constitution, and state government, and for the admission of such state into the union on an equal footing with the original states; and for other purposes," passed upon the 30th April, 1802, as well as the act passed the 3d of March 1803 in addition to and in modification of the propositions contained in the act aforesaid; and the ordinance of the convention of the state of Ohio, bearing date the 29th day of November, 1802.
On this resolution a debate ensued, which continued until 4 o'clock. Messrs. Jackson, Lyon, Boyle, Beddinger and Morrow supported, and Mr. J. Randolph, Nicholson, Griswold, Rodney, Varnum, Sanford, Macon, Goddard and Smilie opposed the resolution.
The debate turned upon those points. One of the propositions made by congress to the people now composing the state of Ohio on their admission into the union was that one twentieth part of the nett proceeds of the public lands sold within that state should be applied to the making of roads, under the direction of congress, from the navigable waters emptying into the Atlantic, to the Ohio rivers and to the state of Ohio. The state of Ohio accepted these propositions with certain modifications, one of which was that three per cent. of the proceeds of said lands should be laid out under her direction, in making roads within the state. In these modifications Congress concurred.
Those in favor of the resolution contended that in addition to the appropriation of the three per cent. to be laid out within the state of Ohio, Congress were bound to appropriate five per cent. of the proceeds to making of roads leading to the Ohio; while the opponents of the resolution contended, that the whole appropriation which Congress were bound to make was five per
cent. of the proceeds; and having already appropriated three per cent. to the making of roads within the state of Ohio, it only remained to appropriate the remaining two per cent. to the making of roads leading to the Ohio.
Mr. Varnum moved to substitute "one fiftieth" in the room of "one twentieth," as this would try the principle.
The question was taken on Mr. Varnum's amendment, and carried, Ayes 75.
The committee rose and reported it; and the House, without deciding upon it adjourned.
TUESDAY, November 29.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill making provision for the further protection of the seamen and commerce of the United States was referred to a select committee.
The House took up the report of the committee of the whole, on Mr. Jackson's resolution making an appropriation of a certain part of the proceeds of lands, sold in Ohio, to the making public roads, and agreed to it without a division.
After which several verbal amendments were made, and the resolution, thus amended, referred to a committee to bring in a bill.
Mr. Dawson called for the order of the day on two resolutions, some time since offered, respecting post-roads.
Mr. Claiborne called for the order of the day on the bill for the relief Amey Dardin.
The motion of Mr. Dawson being lost, there being only 32 ayes in favor of it, Mr. Claiborne's motion was taken up.
Mr. Sanford moved to postpone the order of the day on the bill for the relief of Amey Dardin till to morrow, in order to introduce a resolution for the appointment of a committee to enquire into the expediency of extending the time for adjusting the claims of individuals for supplies furnished, and services rendered during the revolutionary war—with the view of trying, previously to the granting individuals relief, the general principle, whether congress would repeal the statutes of limitation.
After a debate of considerable length the motion to postpone was lost.
The house then went into a committee of the whole on the bill which was so amended as to allow Amey Dardin, 2,500, dollars, for the horse Romulus being the estimated value thereof, not including interest.
The committee reported the bill so amended.
The question was then taken on two thousand five hundred dollars, and decided in the negative—Ayes 48—Nees 47—by the vote of the Speaker.
Mr. Nicholson moved to fill the blank with 2 320 dollars, being the amount of principal and interest on the value of the horse.
Mr. Sanford moved to fill it with 1000 dollars.
The House agreed to Mr. Nicholson's motion—Ayes 52—Nees 43.
The yeas and nays were then taken on the engrossing of the bill for a third reading—Yeas 57 Nays 49.
A message was received from the President, communicating an appendix to the digest respecting Louisiana.
WEDNESDAY Nov. 30.
An engrossed bill for the relief of the legal representatives of David Dardin, deceased, was read the third time, and on the question shall the bill pass, the yeas and nays were, Yeas 58—Nays 57.
The Speaker declaring himself with the nays, the bill was rejected.
Mr. J. Randolph, jun. from the committee of ways and means, presented a bill, giving effect to the laws of the United States, within the territories ceded to the United States by the treaty of the 30th April, 1803, between the United States and the French Republic; and for other purposes, which was received and read the first time.
Read twice and committed to a committee of the whole House on Monday next.

MR. SNOWDEN.
Sir, I was pleased to see you did not think proper to reply to the truly malignant remarks, which appeared in the "Expositor" of Monday. As they respect you in your editorial character no comment can be thought necessary, as no one (the Doctor excepted) could for a moment suppose you did not know there was no such word as "caustic," and consequently would at once consider it as a typographical error:—and I cannot imagine he is either so blind or so ignorant, as to deny that his paper is most abundantly supplied with articles in that way; however, I am sorry to see him reduced to such pitiful shifts to depreciate you, and conclude that as you did not fear the force of his observations, (as in truth there was no force in them) you acted wisely in leaving them with their author, to the quiet possession of all the merit they could obtain. But his attack upon Mr. Lewis is really laughable. He has quoted half a sentence from Mr. L.'s speech in his own way, to answer his own purposes from which he proves nothing, and concludes with, to be sure a very sharp satire upon Dutchmen, yet those very Dutchmen who elected Mr. L., are men of equal weight in society, and are as good citizens as the Doctor; and I think I might venture to predict will be found at their respective homes, ready and willing to protect their country in the hour of danger, when certain wiseacres will be leaving this country upon the same terms they quitted their own, and now, for the honor of the cause that this great man is embarked in, I would advise him to confine the effusions of his pen to those elegant scraps with which his paper is so replete, viz. a modest Dun, for though that species of writing may not suit every republican patriot, I am persuaded it would be more acceptable to a MODERATE DEMOCRAT.
To Doctor Dinmore.
Sir, Having full employment for every moment of my time will apologize for my being brief with you; while feeling myself with every American "belittled," to use the phraseology of the Mammoth of Democracy, by the impertinent interference of foreigners in our public and local concerns, will pardon a native of the county of Loudoun, in putting two or three queries to you.
Except self-interest, there is not perhaps a fibre which leads more directly to the heart than national pride. As it respects yourself I know nothing, but this I do know, that your countrymen are tenacious of it, and I prize it wherever it may be found.
Such sir, being my sentiments, and such the feelings of every honest man—what am I to understand from a paragraph in your paper of the 28th ultimo, relative to Mr. Lewis's opinion on the Louisiana Treaty, which you concluded with this expression the "enlightened Dutchmen of Loudoun?"
Is it a sneer at a majority of the citizens whom Mr. Lewis represents in our National council?
If so, which is fairly deducible from the tenor of your paragraph, have you not particularly as an alien, made an expression not warranted by common good breeding, while it marks an impertinence, that nothing can reconcile but the axiom, that leaves you to do things in your "own way?"
A Native of Loudoun.

Extract from a letter dated Leghorn, August 22. 1803.
We have no information in the politics of our place. Genoa and Spezia are blockaded, by the English, and for their few days past, we have had several vessels which were not permitted to enter at those places. The Americans which come to English houses are subjected to the most scrupulous examination of their papers, being at ways subjected by the French commissioners to contain English property. It is advisable, that goods from your country should have a certificate that they are not of English growth or manufacture. All property of the subjects of the Italian republic is captured by the English. The Tuscan property and flag have hitherto been respected, and we hope will continue while Spain preserves her neutrality.
From Paris papers of September 26 and 28, received by Captain Magford, arrived at Salem.
We learn that the French Minister was busy at Vienna relative to the 10th article of the neutrality which has been adopted at that Court. In passing through Vienna it is said the Turkish Ambassador, on his way to Paris, took notice only of the Ministers of France, Sweden and Holland.
Reports were at Hamburg, that the French had offered to withdraw their troops from Hanover, and substitute the Prussian troops, if the Hanoverians would pay a stipulated sum during the war.
The Frankfort fair had few purchasers, and has not been worse for many years. The English continue to smuggle much, and the Merchants on the Rhine have a correspondence with the interior of France.
The news from Brest, was that the First Consul was immediately to visit Granville and St. Maloes. Orders had been given to prepare for his reception at Flushing from the 10th to 15th October.
By the last accounts from Senlin the trade with Turkey had recovered all its activity.
On 25th September Schimmelpennic went to Paris as the Batavian Ambassador.
The duty on Foreign fish imported, except from England, is reduced in France, during the war to 10 francs for every five myriagrams, and stock fish to four francs.
THREE GREAT RESRAINTS.
There are three things which restrain men from doing wrong—Religion, Love of Fame, and Fear of Punishment: The religious man will do right for conscience;—the man who is engaged in the pursuit of fame will not do wrong, lest it should impede his progress—but he who has neither religion nor love of fame, must be restrained, if at all, merely by the fear of punishment; and even this is often proved to be ineffectual, in all stages of society. Amongst the barbarians are found crimes of the most ferocious and bloody nature; whilst in civilized society, cunning, fraud, and deceit, are the principal engines of wickedness. To the savage, who is inured to human torture by his education, corporal punishment has no terror; and civilized man is hardened in villainy, by the laceration of his body. The plain and obvious course is, to civilize the barbarian, or him who hath no learning, by giving him instruction; he may then be taught the principles of Christianity—and if after this he offend, confine him to labour, to make him industrious, and in solitude to make him think.
To the Farmers.
These few years having been remarkably unfortunate to the farmers, with respect to their wheat crops; I conceive it my duty as a member of society, to throw out a few hints, by which I think this great evil of the fly destroying the grain after taken out of the field, may be effectually remedied. First, some farmers have been in the practice of cutting their harvests before they are ripe. Second, binding the grain into too large sheaves, when wet, or the dew on it. Third, taking the grain too soon out of the field. By duly attending to these three proposi-
tions, and closely examining a stack of wheat, they will be self evidently demonstrated; for you will find that those ears of grain on the outside, which receive the air and warmth of the sun, will be entirely clear of insect; and that the more you approach the interior parts of the stack, the more insects you will find, occasioned by there being too much dampness in the grain when put up, which brings on a heat and sweating, makes the grain salty and consequently is the sole cause of the fly breeding in it. So that if farmers would not cut their grain until fairly ripe, nor tie it up until thoroughly dry, and then in small sheaves, shock it away and let it remain in the field a few days longer than they usually do, the cause of this alarming destruction of our stable grain would be effectually destroyed.

ROBERT and JOHN GRAY HAVE JUST RECEIVED, From Messrs. Stokes and Co's Patan and Family Medicine Store, Mount Pleasant, New York, and for sale at their book store, King Street, A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, consisting of— Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Aque and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; An- odyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; At- kinson'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 Patria Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secre- tion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrescent qua- lities, 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 preventative, deserv- ing the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible rea- son, that can result from long and extensive expe- rience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the pre- valence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally suc- ceed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of com- mon remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situa- tion and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to appre- hend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
MATRIMONY.
IT is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many persons of both sexes are deterred from enter- ing into the married state, by Secret Infirmitates, which delicacy forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few who being already married, are rendered miserable for want of those tender pledges of mutual love, without which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that those circum- stances are occasioned by general or partial relaxation or weakness, in either sex, and it is equally certain that the genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffuse themselves like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary and permanent. When the spark of life begins to expire, the circulation languid, and the faculties paralyzed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exanimate the animal spirits, invigorate the body and reanimate the whole man. When aversion to excel- lence, loss or depravity of appetite, and palid countenance, indicative of approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret sensuality, debilitated his body, and impaired his under- standings, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretch- ed dissolution amidst the agonizing reflections of conscious guilt. When the sons and daughters of dissipation have brought on themselves debility, relaxation, imbecility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by im- paired memory, anxiety, agitation, tremours, languor, paleness, emaciation, indigestion, apathy in men; hys- terics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abor- tion, pain in the back, chest, &c. in women; these lozen- ges will restore health and vigor to the debilitated frame, and cheerfulness and animation to the mind.
Price One Dollar per packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each, as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the signature of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each packet with- out which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its pe- netrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most degenerate cases of rheumatism gout, lumbago, sciatica, nephritis, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after other medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly recommended in flatulencies and indigestion, and by their frequent operation, promote perspiration, and gradually remove the most obstinate rheumatism; and at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The Essence is a remarkable active embrocation necessary in the use of the pills, and generally excites a tingling sen- sation, it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a cir- culation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen parts, the severe sprains and bruises, old fractures anore-
lations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signa- ture of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bot- tle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genu- ine.
The genuine Scotch Iod Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, in many instances having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Tho- mas 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; spec- dily removes inflammation, dimness, itching, and films; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently suc- ceed the measles, small pox, and fever; and is an unpa- ralleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventive of the predispo- sition 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 con- sumptions, 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 perspi- ration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convul- sive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strength- ening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, af- fecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Ast- hmas and confined consumptions 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 admini- stered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Annodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Annodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presump- tion in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arise- ing from whatever cause, or however violent, in- stantly submit to its penetrating powers. This in- valuable Annodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had fail- ed; by its salutary operation, it infallibly 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 unquestion- ably proved by ample experience to be the most effect- ual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, hepatic 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 scrofulous complaint, as also, that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Reusselaer, 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 her efficacy, authenticated by per- sons of character and respectability are open to the ex- amination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supercede 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 forceful its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lo- zenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but ef- fectually 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 comm- on phylic, have new the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from these dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being per- formed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them ac- cording to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offen- sive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which the was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite is 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, Cholic and Di- 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 weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural in- ference 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 the public; the most respectable, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend, as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant re- medies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price, 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, faith- fully prepared at the original warehouse, Lon- don.
This incomparable medicine has flood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hun- dred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, scurfets, hysteric vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, oppressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stop- ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknow- ledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof, the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be packed on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and upright pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bit- ters; and in order to impose their trash on the pub- lic, they sometimes copy a part of the true adver- tisement 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 ear- nestly recommended to try it. 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.

RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath a impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good cloathing, a description of which is unneces- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

ELEGANT EDITION
OF The HOLY BIBLE.
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, (in four handsome octavo volumes)
THE HOLY BIBLE,
CONTAINING The Old and New Testaments.
CONDITIONS.
It shall be printed on a superfine wove paper, with an elegant new type. The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars per vol. in boards, or Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, handsomely bound and lettered. To those who subscribe for several copies, a dis- count will be made, proportioned to the num- ber subscribed for.
THE advantage of having this invaluable Book print- ed on a large type, and at the same time, in portable and convenient volumes, appears so evident, that the encou- ragement necessary to warrant an undertaking of such magnitude, is confidently expected; a portable volume would often be taken up, in a moment of leisure, when the size of a large, unwieldy folio, would operate as an apology for leaving it unopened; in this way, small por- tions of time would be profitably employed, which might otherwise be totally lost. In large families a Bible volume, affording an opportunity for several to read at once, may sometimes be peculiarly convenient: it seems superfluous to add much on this subject—suffice it to say, that no reasonable expense or pains shall be spared, to render this edition of the Holy Scriptures both correct and elegant.
The above work is in press, and will be finished about the end of the present year.
Subscriptions received by R. and J. Gray, King Street, where a spe- cimen of the paper and printing may be seen.
R. & J. GRAY
have just received a large supply of Quarto, Post, and Vellum Letter Paper,
Foolscap writing paper, demy drawing paper, and a few grofs of Fullers boards.
