CORREGIDOR'S 6th LETTER.
To Messrs. DALLAS and his fellow addressers of Philadelphia.
Good men to whom alone I address myself, appear to me to consult their piety as little as their judgment and experience, when they admit the great and essential advantages accruing to society from the freedom of the press, yet indulge themselves in peevish and passionate exclamations against the abuses of it.
JUNTIUS.
A certain ingenious, but whimsical moral philosopher, has in an essay replete with wit and pleasantry started, a notion that it would seem from the mortifying condition of man here below, which the writer exemplifies by a variety of ludicrous instances, that we are placed in this world in a state of punishment, for offences committed in some other state of existence, now hidden from us by a perfect oblivion. From your present opinions as compared with your former conduct, one would think, that you my good gentlemen had undergone a change of that kind in consequence of which you now forget all you have said or did four or five years ago. A kind of Pythagorean statesman, you exhibit a sort of political metempsychosis, in which your spirits transmigrating first from British monarchists into American republicans, then from republicans into democrats—thence to jacobins, and from jacobins into a kind of mixt political being, a non-descript compound of the three, yet being not perfectly like any one of them, you seem to have forgotten all your former selves, all that you did, all that you said, and all the precious doctrines which you once preached with a zeal truly fanatical—you then poured forth the most furious invectives and anathemas upon the federal constitution, for giving the office of president a qualified negative even when that power was so wisely, and for this country so fortunately exercised, by Washington. Now what less than total oblivion of all the dogmas you uttered on that occasion could permit you to declare as you do in your address, that 'The qualified negative possessed by the executive is a salutary power?' Is this, or is it not a flat contradiction?
How could you have the face to express apprehensions that the Schneiders will subvert the federal constitution, if you were not so blinded in oblivion as to forget your own unabating, rancorous cunning and furious public hostility, to that constitution from its first conception down to that day when it chimed in with your party to become a kind of mongrel federalists? Have not you advocated every change, every innovation, every encroachment upon it? Nay, have you not ever till lately, used the words federal, federalist and federalism, as constant terms of reproach, and as the war-whoop of your party.
Though you may have forgotten the public cannot but remember how clamorously you and your party inveighed, and with what well simulated indignation you declaimed in public against the re-election of president Washington, protesting with all the earnestness, and all the fury of demagogues, that no individual however deserving, ought to be re-elected to a high office.
The public too cannot but remember what Mr. Jefferson in his letter from France to Mr. Madison, said about the impolicy of the duration, and the necessity of rotation in office. They must remember too the miserable nonsense, and hypocritical filth, thrown out by you all about, 'power by being long used, being abused.' All this and much more of the same kind of trash, was the language of you and your party. What less than a total oblivion of all this then can afford you the shadow of pretext for having so antithetically contradicted in word and deed, as you have done—for have you not used your influence for the re-election of Mr. Jefferson? Have you not rejoiced and triumphed in it? And now do you not set your face against Mr. M'Kean being put out of office, and use every exertion to get him re-elected? tho' he, the said M'Kean has been six years in office; that is to say two more years than Washington had been, when you bitterly inveighed against, and so outrageously opposed his re-election. Is it against Mr. Jefferson's second re-election I now speak? No—that is too late. Is it against Mr. M'Kean's re-election I speak? No—as things are I really wish him success. Why then, you will say—Why, to shew the union what sort of persons they are, of which your party consisted. Indeed what sort of principles must they possess who can "paler with the people in a double sense," falsify. To-day, say black is white
To-morrow, that white is black; change their sentiments, just as suits their convenience, and shift their public opinions at every solicitation of private interests.
You talk of secret tribunals—you condemn them—you denounce them. You are right, as to the thing; but, as connected with your own past conduct, you are unutterably shameful in mentioning them. Did not the editor of the paper in which these letters are published, two years ago, in terms which one would think could not be controverted or resisted, expose to public view, the wicked purposes and dangerous tendency of your secret tribunals: your caucuses: which he very justly compared, in their origin, nature, tendency, and ultimate end: (I trust in God he may not turn out a prophet in it): to the jacobin club of Paris, and its first institution. How has your party triumphed over the nation, and trampled upon its patriots? Why, by secret tribunals—by caucuses—in which a few bad, shabby, impudent men assumed to utter their own evil purposes as the voice of the people, and then made the people believe that it was really their own voice. You too, Mr. Logan! Has your last transmigration taken place so very lately that you forget the secret tribunal—the caucus held at Washington, which you in person attended? I impeach you, sir, before the tribunal of American people, of having (though you now set your name to a public condemnation of secret tribunals) been one of a secret tribunal—a caucus at Washington, which, though composed of no more than ten members, did impudently assume to declare it their decision (thereby cheating the people into acquiescence with that decision)—that the people of the United States should vote for Mr. Clinton as vice-president. Those secret tribunals—those star-chamber proceedings have been fully explained, and completely laid bare in all their naked impurity, by Mr. Butler and Mr. Elliot. With what face then can you speak of secret tribunals, without first casting yourselves in humiliation and repentance, on your knees, before the world, and, in sackcloth and ashes, begging pardon of God and your country, for your own practices in that very kind?
Gentlemen, you say that much is due to governor M'Kean for his patriotic services as a member of the congress of 1775—Here you completely disclose the injustice of your nature. Is there any thing more due to governor M'Kean for being a member of that congress, than to any other of those persons who composed it? I should hope that you will not openly insist that there is. Then why had you not the same consideration for judge Chase, when he was under the barbarous persecution and hunt, in full cry, of your whole open mouthed pack? Was he not a member of the congress of 1775, and were not his services coeval and co-ordinate with the revolution? Yet it procured him no favor from you, no indulgence, no tender consideration—No, sirs; nor would the merits of Mr. M'Kean either, in the congress of 1775—they would be drowned dead, and left to rot in cold oblivion, if the humane society of democrats had not brought them to life with a dose of the Rights of Man, and a good chafing before the flames of levelling liberty and equality.
Speaking of the Schneiders, you say, "all who could not get office, became disappointed, discontented, and hostile." A precise picture of your own party. Was not Mr. M'Kean a federalist till general Washington refused to give him office? Then he became a furious democrat. Was not Mr. Livingston a federalist till Washington refused to make him chief justice of the United States? Then he found his politics shift with his discontent, disappointment, and resentment, and he turned democrat too. Was not Mr. Charles Pinckney a federalist till general Washington refused to make him envoy to Great Britain? The sequel is known.
"Governor M'Kean (you say) is surrounded with spies and informers, who distort all his actions, & falsify all his words." Is not this the very game which your party played against Mr. Adams? Did not Mr. Langdon, and many others, give certificates of speeches said to be made in their hearing, in the confidence of private society, by Mr. Adams, which, if he did utter them, and that is doubtful, were said merely in jest or irony?
And now, gentlemen, I come to the last memorable article of that long tissue of truth and effrontery, your address. "Although the carcass of Callender (say you) is no more, his ungrateful and vindictive spirit still survives." The crowd of ideas which this extraordinary and inconsiderate expression generates in my mind are so numerous, and the evidences which, if any were before wanting, it affords of your privity in that man's conduct, are so many
that I scarcely know which to notice first, each so equally solicits precedence. It appears then, that you know that Callender was ungrateful and vindictive. Be so good as to let the public understand to whom, and on what account, he was so ungrateful.
You will not sport with the public so far as to pretend that you mean he was ungrateful to his own country and government; and as to his vindictiveness to them for his compulsory expatriation, that would be rather a recommendation to your system, than a motive to your anger. You will not say that you meant he was ungrateful to General Washington and to Mr. Adams, or their friends the federalists—no—thank God, they had not fixed upon their characters the ignominious stain of having paid that or any such assassin. Those are the only persons he abused, that the people of America know of, excepting Mr. Jefferson and his party.
It must be to them then that you impeach him of being ungrateful and vindictive.
The confession, though not in direct terms is complete; since, as ingratitude pre-supposes favors and services done, and vengeance some wrong of which it is a penal retribution, your expression amounts to an acknowledgement, that Mr. Jefferson and your party did services to Callender, and were at least supposed by Callender to have done him wrong. Here we have a summary of all which the federalists have charged, and the democrats have either endeavored to evade and explain away, or else actually denied. When Callender was endeavoring to throw the rule and controul of our government into the hands of a mob, who were his patrons and supporters? You have anticipated the answer; you have confessed that it was yourselves.
Who did your party and its chief reward for writing The Prospect before Us, which was composed purposely to traduce the federal administration, and bring your favorite to office? Him whom you now abuse, Callender. Who was taken into his family, and for months domesticated in his house, by a senator of the United States from Virginia? Callender.
To whom did Mr. Jefferson refund a fine imposed and levied by law, for a violation of the laws? Callender.
Who was supported by a contribution from the private funds of your party, for the exclusive purpose of slandering Gen. Washington, Mr. Jay, Gen. Pinckney, Gen. Hamilton, and others, whose talents, services, and deep political knowledge, and high character for all those qualities, rendered it necessary that they should fall, in order that the democrats might rise (in strict conformity to your own position in your address, that "to the elevation of bad men, the prostration of good men has ever been found a necessary prelude")—Callender.
Yes, gentlemen, it is true the carcass of the unhappy Callender is gone to the worms, and all that is bad of his spirit does indeed survive, increased in malignity, but unarmed with his genius, and is now opposed to you. As the one was once your instrument, the other is now your scourge: But while you accuse the dead with ingratitude recollect that, but for him, it is very probable that you and your late high towering party would be still crawling upon your appropriate clod.
Recollect, that between the pecuniary reward which you gave that unhappy man, and the services which he rendered to you there could be no common measure; and that when the quantum of his reward was left to after-discretion, when the work was done—that is to say, when he worked without a specific agreement, he had as good a right to say that he got too little, as you have to say he got enough. And recollect too, that fact is on his side; for if in a bargain for the corrupt sale of the talents of a man of genius there be, as unquestionably there must be great debasement on his part, assuredly that debasement should enhance the price of his labours; when villainy is an object of purchase, the more consummate the guilt and the shame, the higher ought the price to be; and they who profit by it are not only base for suborning, but mean, if they defraud him of his expectations. Afflicting indeed is the spectacle of genius brought to ruin by its own improbity and corruption; and hardened must that heart be, which can view without indignation, those who are accessory to such a fall. The virtue of prudence seldom accompanies genius; and they who take advantage of that misfortune, to abuse genius, by betraying it into wicked and unworthy employment, have no right to complain if in the revolutions of their bad traffic, it should be turned upon themselves, and become instrumental to others, in their shame and ruin. The conduct of Callender no-
one can defend; but that his accusation should come from his accusers is rather extraordinary. The part he acted was abominable, through the whole of his miserable life, from his first seditious, jacobinical efforts in Great Britain, to his betraying the secrets of him who trusted him; a crime, no doubt. To trust a man who could be foolish or base enough to sell himself to a party, demonstrates a mind incapable of making prudent or moral distinctions. To think such a person trust-worthy, is indicative of feebleness and depravity; and he who does so, deserves to be exposed. It is much to be feared that more than Callender have been trusted the same way; and that there are some of them who will not be a jot more scrupulous than he was, of betraying the person who reposed confidence in them, as soon as he shall be driven to the necessity of throwing off that forbearance, which it is reasonable to suppose fear, not patience, has for some time dictated to him.
But while you complain of the Jacobins, carry along with you some justice and reason. Can you censure them for following your own example? Can they be well blamed by you for taking the steps which you speak of, when they are tempted to it by the prosperous effects which such practices have produced upon yourselves? It is because they are so much inferior in virtue, knowledge, and general worth, to yourselves, that you think they ought not to entertain the hope of overcoming you? Recollect that the federal administration was put down by an equality at least as great; and, if in a fortunate hour you should succeed, remember that you have many motives to treat both them, and your former adversaries with moderation and tender forbearance. The one, because whatever their political improbity and errors maybe, they were taught them by yourselves; and the others, because it is from them you have learned the political knowledge you have, and the little virtue which you either possess or stimulate. For my part, I wish you to succeed, and I own that as things are, I have no great fear to trust you and your state leader with power, though I should think it too hazardous an experiment to venture upon, if all circumstances did not concur to reconcile your interest for a time at least, with integrity; for as JUNTIUS says, "Even JEFFERIES himself was an upright judge when the Court had no interest."

U. S. SHIP CONSTITUTION.
June 8, 1805.
"The Bashaw conscious that by a continuance of his obstinacy, his town would fall a sacrifice to our forces in the course of this summer, proposed to us terms of peace, which left us no interest or motive in not acceding to them, as he acknowledged that he felt sensible our efforts would be sufficient to reduce his town and oblige him to retire to the mountains. This acknowledgment at once precluded the pos-

sibility of acquiring any honor by our arms but indeed the reverse as it would have been persecuting an enemy who in anticipation of our vengeance, by his own acknowledgement, felt himself more than half vanquished, and who perhaps in his savage perturbation, might have carried his resentment, to the sacrifice of three hundred of our unfortunate countrymen, whom chance had placed in his power."
The following is a copy of a letter from capt. Hull, of the Argus, to commodore Barron, dated
"Argus, (Derne) April 28. SIR, "I have the honor to inform you that at nine o'clock in the morning of the 27th, being ten miles to the eastward of the town of Derne, with the Hornet in company, we discovered the Nautilus at anchor very close to the shore, which led us to suppose that captain Dent had fallen in with Mr. Eaton's army, as he had been sent on shore for that purpose the day before. We made all sail for the Nautilus, and at half past ten spoke her, and were informed by captain Dent that he had communication with Mr. Eaton the night before, and that he wished the field pieces landed as soon as possible, that Mr. Eaton intended to make an attack as soon as he could get possession of them, being only about two and an half miles from the town of Derne, and the enemy having sent them a challenge. I hoisted out our boat and sent the field pieces on shore, with such supplies as Mr. Eaton wanted, but on approaching the shore we found it impossible to land the guns, without hauling them up an almost perpendicular rock, twenty feet above the boat, but with the perseverance of the officers and men sent on this service, they effected the landing of one of them, by hauling it up the steep rock."
Mr. Eaton finding that he should lose time in landing the other he sent it off again, informing me that he should march for the town as soon as he could possibly mount the field piece, that he had on shore. I gave lieutenant Evans orders to stand close in shore to cover the army whilst they were preparing to march, in case the enemy should come out against them, as they had already made their appearance in large numbers outside of the town. I gave orders for the necessary preparations to be made for the attack by sea upon the town and batteries, and stood down very close to the town. At two, P. M. Mr. Eaton began the attack by land, at the same time the Hornet, lieutenant Evans, anchored with springs on her cables within a hundred yards of the battery of eight guns, and commenced a heavy fire upon it; the Nautilus took her station to the eastward of the Hornet, about half a mile distant from shore, and opened upon the town and batteries; the Argus anchored a little without, and to the eastward of the Nautilus, and began firing on the town and batteries. The fort kept up a heavy fire for about an hour, after which the shot flying so thick about them, they abandoned it, and ran into the town and gardens back; the guns of the vessels were then turned on the beach, and kept up a heavy fire upon the enemy, to clear the way for the few brave Christians Mr. Eaton had with him, to enter the fort, as they were very fast gaining ground, tho' a heavy fire of musketry was constantly kept up upon them from behind the houses and old walls near the shore.
At about half past 3 we had the satisfaction to see lieut. O'Bannen, of the marine corps, and Mr. Mann, midshipman of the Argus, with a few brave fellows with them, enter the fort, haul down the enemy's flag, and plant the American ensign on the walls of the battery. On turning the guns of the battery on the town, they found that the enemy had left them in great haste, as they were primed and loaded at their hands.
"Whilst our men were turning the guns of the battery on the town, Hamet Bashaw had taken possession of the back part of it, which brought the enemy between two fires, that soon silenced them; and about 4 in the afternoon we had complete possession of the town and fort; sent all our boats on shore for the purpose of carrying ammunition to the fort, and to bring off the wounded men as soon as possible, that they might be dressed. Mr. Eaton gave the necessary orders at the fort, and went into the town to see every thing quiet, and to make arrangements for its being well guarded during the night. At half past 5 he returned on board, to get his wound dressed, having received a musket-ball through his left wrist. On collecting our men, we found 1 killed and 13 wounded—a list of which is enclosed. I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) ISAAC HULL."

The ship Nancy, Stevens, 7 days from Halifax, arrived at Boston on Wednesday, the 4th inst. About an hour before the Nancy sailed, a brig arrived in 39 days from Liverpool, and informed that previous to his sailing a vessel arrived there which had fallen in with a French fleet of 17 sail of the line and 8 frigates, and that a squadron had been dispatched after them.
Capt. Adams, arrived at Boston on Thursday, in 44 days from Malaga, informs that previous to his sailing, it was reported that 2 French ships of the line had sailed from Alicante, bound to Egypt, and that several English vessels had been sent in pursuit of them.
MORE SPOLIATION.
We are sorry to announce the capture of the brig Catherine, captain Steward, from Antigua, of and for this port, laden with a valuable cargo of Rum, for account of citizens of the United States and merchants of this place and Portsmouth. The Catherine was taken by a French privateer and ordered for Porto Rico.
There has not been a capture yet made which has excited more alarm and more indignation. There was not the least colorable pretext for this capture, the owners of the vessel and of all the cargo are well known to us; and they are all citizens of the United States. The only reason for the capture, was the value! This information comes by a letter from Portland. (N. H.) received by last mail. The duties on this cargo would have been upwards of 6500 dollars! so goes the revenue. (Norfolk Ledger.)
LETTERS OF CORREGIDOR.
WHEN we published from the Charleston Courier, the first letter of Corregidor, we were induced to it by the eloquence of manner, the correctness of principle, the irresistible force of argument, which characterised that letter, without knowing the full extent of the author's plan. Since that we have seen several other letters from the same hand, all written with equal ability, and in prosecution of the same general design. The second letter will be found in this day's paper. These letters of Corregidor are not only intrinsically excellent, but at the present time, extremely seasonable.
He attacks Dallas, M'Kean and the leaders of the third party with a keen severity, with a bold and just indignation, which if they retain any portion of sensibility, must powerfully affect their feelings, if it fails to influence their conduct. But he censures their conduct, without endeavoring or wishing to prostrate them at the feet of their present determined and inveterate foes. From their own declarations, or rather from their concessions, and acknowledgments, he draws inferences highly honorable to the soundness, the integrity and consistency of federal principles. The federalists now stand on high and exalted ground. Whilst their opponents are splitting into factions, daily changing both opinions & leaders they are steadily and firmly attached to principles.
From various sects and denominations of democrats, the federalists can now demonstrate the correctness of their former measures, and the full and complete accomplishment of their predictions. They therefore will not be easily drawn from the high ground which they now hold, into the cabals and intrigues of either faction, tho' both solicit their aid, in support of their respective causes. The leaders of the third party, having artfully connected their success with the support of constitutional principles, and established laws and institutions, now boldly apply to the federalists for their aid, and pay the highest compliment to their integrity, by claiming that assistance from their principles, which they could not expect from their gratitude.
But it will not soon be forgotten that Dallas, M'Kean and the leaders of the third party were with the present jacobins and revolutionists, among the most zealous of those who wantonly attacked the federal administration and drove them the cabinet by besieging the avenues of public opinion, and propagating false insinuations and dangerous doctrines. If therefore federal men, think it advisable for a particular
purpose to aid this party as a choice of evils, they will be cautious how they venture in company with men on whose character and stability they have no reason to rely. Corregidor takes a very clear and ample view of the whole subject. We shall hereafter continue his letters, and we confidently recommend them to the attentive consideration of our readers. [Boston Gaz.]
COMMUNICATION.
MR. SNOWDEN, BEING under the necessity of taking a number of journeys through divers roads in this state, sometimes obliged to ford rivers in danger of my life, at other times to break through inclosures, in danger of the law—and having lately to pass from Dumfries to Fairfax, and recounting my "hair breadth 'scapes from flood and field," I was directed to try a new road then just opened by the Occoquan Mills, which I did—and what was my surprize when I found a handsome, spacious road made almost entirely new for 10 miles, absolutely the best road I ever saw, turnpike roads excepted: I then thought, in the simplicity of my heart, that the maker of this new road "had done the state some service," and if he could not be remunerated, he might at least be innocently eulogized: This accounts for the "COMMUNICATION" in your paper of the 19th ultimo. It is however, proper here to correct a small mistake that crept into that communication. It was there said, that the new road was "somewhat shorter." Upon enquiry the writer of this has been since informed, that the new road is somewhat longer by measurement, but so much better, that from point to point, the stage drives it sooner by three-quarters of an hour. I did not suppose that any individual would expend several thousand dollars in opening a new road, without having some interest in so doing; but this I knew, that I was benefited, and was willing to shew my gratitude by pointing out the object to others. What then, Sir, do you think was my surprize to find in your paper of the 4th, a most violent attack on my poor little "Communication." The writer, who figures away under the signature of "One of the Community," attacks me en militaire, horse and foot, front and flank; and with his mill road, and Colchester road, his assertions and denials, his post-master-general, stage drivers and mail carriers, with a dozen other auxiliaries that he has pressed into his service, thinks he lays me prostrate. Let us however examine his positions, to do which we will pass over his first paragraph as entirely irrelevant to the subject. In the second, with a good deal of extraneous matter, he says, "any map of the country will shew that a straight line from Alexandria to Dumfries will cross the Occoquan below Colchester." Now this happens to have just as much to do with the subject in dispute, as if I was to say that a straight line from Washington to Alexandria could not possibly be made to go by Mason's ferry at George Town. No, Sir: Alexandria and Dumfries in this question have nothing to do; but draw a straight line from the diverging point at Public church, to where the roads meet at Neabsco, and say where will that line cross the Occoquan: However even this is not a fair argument—The only proper thing to measure roads by is the time it takes the traveller to pass them.
Our writer proceeds to say, that the person who made this new road, has made it spacious and smooth at its entrance, to invite the traveller into hills, morasses and difficulties: to this assertion, let those who travel each road answer. But by the writer of this it is denied to be the truth; the new road is clear through, as good, and in most places better, than at the entrance at each end. If the new road is not so good as the old one, and is farther, few will be found to travel it; if, on the contrary, the new road is found better, and can be travelled sooner and with more ease, (as is the case) the traveller will surely enter it, more especially when he reflects on the genteel reception he will meet with at Mr. Gordon's tavern, at Occoquan; if, by the bye, he has not first to obtain leave from the proprietors of the Colchester bridge and tavern. The writer further proceeds to aver from personal inspection, "that for the extent of half a mile it is impossible for carriages to pass each other without taking the horses out, and even then not without great danger." Now, Sir, the truth is, that there is not 40 feet together in any part of the road, in which carriages cannot pass each other in perfect safety, and if the writer will make a little further enquiry he will find his story about the wood waggon rather embellished.
Whether the mail stage is driven over Colchester bridge or Occoquan bridge, it matters I believe very little to the public, and certainly none to me; but permit me to ask this writer what makes a post road? Is it any act of congress? Is it any act of a state legislature or county court? No; it is neither; but any road is a post road that a post-rider or mail carrier chooses to travel from one post office to another: neither does the postmaster general ever force his carriers to go any particular road, but leaves them at liberty to travel what road they choose, and while the mails are delivered in order, and in time, the contract is certainly complied with. With the charges in the closing paragraph, against the mail carrier, for "setting the laws at defiance, regardless of the instructions of his contract, and threatening a prosecution," the writer of this has certainly nothing to do; very
well convinced, however, he is, that upon cool reflection, "One of the Community" will acknowledge, that an anonymous paragraph in a newspaper is not exactly the place to exhibit charges of this description. Fairfax, Sept. 10.

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 Parent 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 intermittant 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 superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Billious 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 Billious and Yellow Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholics, Colicivens, 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 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Billious 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, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti billious 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 scorbutic 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.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
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.
Dr. Cooley's Vegetable Elixir; or Cough Drops,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, spitting of blood, and all diseases of the lungs. Its merits stand unrivalled. Price 50 cents a bottle.

Water-Street ACADEMY.
THE subscriber returns his most sincere thanks to the patrons of his school, for the very liberal and friendly encouragement, he has met with since he came to Alexandria; and most respectfully informs them, and the citizens in general, that, as he has retaken the house in which he now resides, they may consider his Academy as a permanent school-establishment; so that those who prefer him as a teacher may, very probably, have it in their power to send their children to him until they have finished their education: that is, if such parents or guardians conceive, that having obtained a knowledge of the following branches of literature (which are taught in the most careful manner by the subscriber) is a sufficient education for their children, viz. the English language, critically grammatical, agreeably to the celebrated Walker's standard of pronunciation, Writing, and Arithmetic in all its branches, Menuration of Surfaces and Solids, according to Hutton and Bonnycastle, Gauging Vessels of the following figures, in the most exact manner, by cubical arithmetic, namely, Hexagonal, Cubic, Spheroidal, and Casks of all kinds and sizes—Also, Book-keeping, Geography, with the use of the Globes, and Elocution.
As the great and many advantages which result from having children begin and finish their education with one teacher, are so evident that every well informed person must, upon the least reflection discover them, the subscriber conceives it unnecessary to say any thing in vindication of the subject; but refers it to the good sense and judgment of his friends and fellow citizens to determine, whether it is not better to fix their children in one school, and continue them there (provided that school is well regulated) than to change their teachers frequently, as some do, in the course of their education; which practice is most undoubtedly fraught with many evils to such children. As the subscriber can teach but a very small part of the children in Alexandria, the above remarks cannot justly be construed to be the effects of avarice: But he would just observe, both for his own sake, and the sake of his fellow-labourers in the didactic profession, that no teacher, be he ever so competent to his task, will receive much credit from the enlightened part of the community, even by his utmost exertions to instruct such children as are moved about from school to school, either to satisfy their caprice, or upon any occasion whatever, that is not of very considerable importance.
Those who are desirous of having their children taught by a person scrupulously strict in the discharge of his duty, as it respects the manners, morals and progress of his pupils in their learning, are invited to visit the subscriber's Academy, and judge for themselves of his manner of conducting a school and method of teaching. As an Assistant is now engaged for a considerable time, between twenty and thirty scholars can be taken, in addition to the number now in the school.
An Evening School
Will be opened by the Subscriber, on MONDAY the 2d of September next, at the low rate of Three Dollars per scholar per quarter, ink, quills, and wood included; and will teach till the first of March, provided encouragement offers.
