BOSTON, September 18.
The substance of the treaty with Tripoli is confirmed by capt. Shillaber, arrived at Salem, from Leghorn—We think the force and courage of our squadron demanded a better one:—But however bad it may be, it does not in the least depreciate the need of renewing they have so richly merited—The Salem Gazette on the authority of direct intelligence says: "The impression made by the American arms in the Mediterranean, is flattering to our national pride and is a just encomium upon that naval system which was adopted by the federal administration. Had not the treaty with Tripoli prevented, that city, invested both by sea & land, would probably have fallen before American valor. The name of PREBLE will long be remembered by the barbarians with respect. The bashaw of Tripoli is said to have expressed a strong desire, after the treaty to see him; observing that he had seen English, French and Spanish commanders, but that his curiosity to see him was proportionally greater, as he had in his exploits exceeded them all."
We wish to detect an error generally received, that the United States have been in the habit of paying an annual tribute to Tripoli, which we are now rid of. The only agreement ever made between the United States and Tripoli, was that concluded November 4, 1796, during the Washington administration, by Mr. Joel Barlow, appointed by col. Humphreys, then minister to Portugal, for the purpose. The tenth article of that treaty is as follows:
ARTICLE X.
The money and presents demanded by the Bey of Tripoli, as full and satisfactory consideration on his part and on the part of his subjects, for this treaty of perpetual peace and friendship, are acknowledged to have been received by him previous to his signing the same, according to the receipt which is hereunto annexed, except such part as is promised on the part of the United States, to be delivered and paid by them on the arrival of their consul in Tripoli, of which part a note is likewise hereunto annexed. And no pretence of any periodical or further payment is ever to be made by either party.
We have been thus particular because it has been falsely asserted in some of the democratic papers, that Mr. Adams wasted the public revenue, by annual tribute to Tripoli, when he had a fleet which could protect commerce without tribute.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27.
Extract of a letter from a master of a vessel to his owners in Portland, dated Antwerp, July 12, 1805.
"Gregory, residing at Corunna, who has made interest to be appointed deputy American consul there, from many corroborating circumstances, it appears, has entered into an association with the fishermen, to bring all the vessels they can that way, which causes an enormous expence, part of which it is evident he shares. In addition to which he makes unjust charges in his accounts. I therefore wish those who are bound to Antwerp, and are strangers, to be informed, not only of the above, but by all means to avoid the east side of Walchun Island, because the channel is difficult and dangerous, and vessels going that way, are subject to several day's quarantine, after which they must proceed to Flushing to enter and obtain a pilot. The Flushing pilots are seldom out, and fishermen are not permitted to board vessels under a heavy penalty, so that should a stranger fall in with them, he must either follow them to Corunna, or keep the sea until a proper pilot offers."
Extract of a letter from a commercial house in the city of New York, to their correspondents in Albany, dated Sept. 11.
"The alarm of fever commenced suddenly in the neighborhood of our store [Pearl street]. The disease has generally been malignant, and in many cases of it remarkably so. Our Board of Health, a large majority of whom embrace the opinion of exclusive importation, deserve the reprobation of every good citizen. The mystery in which they wrapped the progress of this disease, and their unwarrantable obstinacy in resisting the reports and advice of some of our Physicians, who insisted on domestic origin, will tend greatly to destroy that confidence which ought to be placed in so respectable a body. The advanced period of the season had begotten a hope in the minds of most of our citizens, that we should pass through it without any alarm of consequence; and this hope was strengthened by the silence of our Board of Health, who, some weeks ago pledged themselves, to give timely notice in case of any occurrence unfavorable to the prospect of our health. This our importing gentlemen most shamefully neglected to do, and the consequence is that many have fallen a sacrifice to the fever who otherwise might possibly have been still living. Those who removed last week, either took the alarm from the number of sudden deaths in their neighborhood or were advised to it by their physicians, who however, were deterred from making the alarm public by their respect for the Board of Health, from which body alone they conceived the public had a right to look for accurate information. Our valuable resident physician, Dr. E. Miller, has been wantonly and barbarously prosecuted for his opinion of domestic origin; but his opponents are sinking into oblivion, and the occurrences of this season will raise him greatly in the estimation of his fellow-citizens, who, being open to conviction, will see the truth of his doctrine, and it is hoped will appreciate it accordingly."
DANISH CONSUL'S OFFICE.
To prevent misapprehensions being entertained concerning the nature and execution of the new quarantine regulations within the Danish European dominions, which are established upon principles of facilitating commerce as much as possible, consistent with the end of any such regulation—the following limitations in regard to time, and specification of goods which are tho' liable to carry infection, are hereby made public:
 1. Vessels coming from any country under suspicion of being afflicted with contagious disease, but having bills of health in perfect order, no dangerous goods, nor any sick at the time, or during the passage, and no recent communication with vessels from the Barbary coast, will have to perform a quarantine observation for four days.  2. Vessels under similar circumstances, but coming from an infected place, consequently without bill of health—14 days.  3. A vessel having a few dangerous goods on board, such as can be aired & purified on board without unloading the cargo, coming from an infected place: 40 days.  4. Such a vessel, having many dangerous goods from an infected place, or having actual contagion or pestilential diseases on 
board, must proceed to Christiansand in Norway, there unload within the limits of the quarantine ground, and undergo the prescribed purifications during 40 days or longer, according to circumstances, where also such goods as are of a nature to carry infection will in this case be burned.
5. Vessels without a cargo or in ballast, from an infected place (or having communication with a vessel from the Barbary coast) if 30 days have elapsed since and no sickness has appeared, will perform a quarantine of 4 days, or as many more as they may be deficient in the stated 30 days. The following goods are considered as dangerous or liable to carry infection, viz
Wool, cotton, silk, bast, hair, feathers, quills, down, flax, hemp, straw, sponge, and all the articles manufactured thereof; paper, books, and cordage, which is untarred &c.
Further, hides, skins, peltry, leather, parchment and all that is manufactured or composed of these materials.
Further, such animals as are clothed with wool, hair, bristles, or feathers as also their horns and bones in a raw state.
Also, Cochenille, rasped dye woods, and coins of every kind.
Not dangerous are estimated,
1. Grains of all kinds, viz.
Wheat, buck-wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, &c. pulse, peas, beans &c. and
Whatever is prepared and composed from grain, viz.
Flour, groats, starch, bread, &c.
2. Beef, pork, fish of every preparation; also, butter, cheese, lard, honey, other like nutriments and tallow.
3. Fruits of all different kinds, also, cocoa, nuts, almonds &c.
Further, potatoes, roots, vegetables, &c.
4. Liquids, as water, oil, distilled liquors, and liquid preparations of different kinds.
5. Spices of all kinds, drugs, medicines, plants, tea, tobacco, hop, and every other article derived from plants, which has not already been excepted.
6. Wood and every thing derived or manufactured from it, except rasped dye-wood, coals, ashes, gums, tar, rosin, &c.
7. China, poters ware, metals of all kinds (except coin,) alum, vitriol, paints, brimstone, charcoal &c. &c.
When goods, not liable to carry infection, are packed in dangerous articles such as straw, then the whole is considered as dangerous until the package is separated from it.

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 Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colickyness, 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-Biliary Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colds 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-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 scurbutic 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.

Rich Kanawha Bottom Lands, for Sale or Exchange.
THE subscriber offers for sale, or exchange, for lands or other real property on the east side of the Blue Ridge, about 7000 acres of RICH BOTTOM LAND , on the Great Kanawha River, and on both sides thereof, on the opposite and below the mouth of Pocahontas Creek, in the state of Virginia, 25 miles from Point Pleasant, [the county town of Mason county] and 12 miles from the county town of Kanawha county, and adjoining the lands of the late General Washington. They were surveyed at the same time with those lands in the year 1772, and are held under the same titles, viz. Old Military Rights—which are unquestionable.
The Lands are of the very first quality, the Bottoms in many places a mile wide, they have been lately re-surveyed and divided into lots containing from 150 to 350 acres each, for the accommodation of purchasers, each lot fronting on the river, and extending back from thence to the hills, which afford a most extensive range for stock, which can never be interrupted. One hundred acres the share of this rich bottom, with its advantages, would make a good settlement. The great [Virginia] state road leading to the states of Ohio and Kentucky passes by and through these lands, which being on a fine navigable river will command a ready and high price for the produce to the emigrants to the western country both by land and water. Their situation, besides, gives their occupants choice of the eastern or western markets as produce may be found most profitable. The climate is mild and remarkably favorable to the production of fruit. Salt-works are erected on the banks of the river but a few miles above these lands, and the neighborhood furnishes abundance of iron, coal, limestone, mills and mill-seats; so that there is no part of the western country which holds out more advantages to persons desirous of emigrating.
A more particular description of these lands, with plots of the several lots, their situation, description and price, may be had by application in Alexandria, to Mr. JAMES CRAIK , who attended the surveying of them, or to the subscriber. September 7. 2wast
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 moiety in Wood and part of that heavily timbered. It abounds in excellent water, and hath 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 Fifth 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 sickly months,) I will divide it into ten and twenty acre LOTS . Any person wishing to view the Land, by an application to WILLIAM SNEED , 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, if not punctually and fully discharged. August 17. 2aw
G. CHAPMAN.
To Planters and Farmers.
The subscriber offers for sale, on a liberal credit, or for NEGROES , Ten tracts of Land , of 1000 acres each, situate on the river Ouachita, and the Bayou of Berthelaine, in the county of Ouachita, and territory of Orleans. The above land is part of the grant made to the Baron de Bastrop by the Spanish government. It is situated above fifty miles from the Natchez, 250 miles from New Orleans, and 30 from the river Mississippi, and from 10 to 15 miles from the post of Ouachita. It is thought unnecessary to give more than a brief description of it, as any person wishing for more particular information may obtain it from any of the following named gentlemen. The above land lies on waters navigable in all seasons for vessels of 40 tons burthen, is in the heart of a country salt settling from the Mississippi territory and Kentucky, and being but a few miles from the post renders it contiguous to mills, stores, cotton gins, &c. It is scarcely necessary to say anything of the quality of the soil, as the whole of that country is known to be the finest land in the world. It may not be improper to remark however, of these lands, that about one fifth being covered with timber, the rest is prairie, and nothing else is required to prepare it for a crop of cotton, indian corn, tobacco, hemp, or rice, (in the lowest part of the ground) than merely ploughing it up. The subscriber owns 5000 acres more, on which he would be glad of obtaining industrious settlers. Such settlers ought to have some negroes, and a plenty of children. To such he offers liberal encouragement, either by selling to them at a low price, or on a long credit of 5 or 6 years, or lease of 10 years. He would also furnish them with provisions on their arrival there. For further particulars enquire of Thomas W. Griffith and Thomas Chase, Esquires, at Baltimore; David P. Dewees, at Alexandria, Virginia; Dr. J. Scott, of Fredericksburgh; or of the subscriber at New Orleans, but at present in Philadelphia. September 16. 12w
