REFLECTIONS,
On the Politics of Pennsylvania.
The political affairs of Pennsylvania present a critical crisis, for the consideration of that body of the citizens who are denominated federalists. We at once reject as puerile and declamatory, the assertions, that on the event of this election hangs the hopes of a steady and just government: The frequent cry of RUIN, and indeed the progress towards it, notwithstanding all the efforts of TRUE patriotism, should make men very cautious how they act upon such occasions, or what expectations they ground upon their exertions. The truth is, and experience sanctions the fact, that we are not to look for any very important consequence on the side of permanent civil liberty from a casual success, over the projects of a foolish and innovating and restless democracy. It has fairly been tried in this and other countries, and the experiment proves, just what reason would teach, that those who assume the name of the people, will ultimately get the mass of the people on their side, and where there is universal suffrage will batter down every institution which they do not comprehend, or which stands in the way of ambitious demagogues, or ignorant but well meaning enthusiasts: The first thing then for the federalists as a body is to consider the loss and gain of any part they may take in the feud which now agitates the popular sea of Pennsylvania: We have calmly and deliberately taken a view of this question and under circumstances most favorable to an impartial opinion, and do not hesitate to pronounce that, they should take no part between the contending factions. The pretence held out by the constitutionalists of preserving the precious instrument, and with it legal and political security, by the election of Mr. M c Kean is both weak and insolent.
The constitution in the hands of Mr. M c Kean, and his party, has been used as a scourge, and presented no proof of honorable administration, or political safety: Let reflecting men look back upon the six years of "M c Kean and the constitution," and count up its blessings and its honors, it has been distorted by its boasted executive, so energetic and so pure, to every purpose of popular corruption and tyranny and we can venture to say, there is not a sensible and sound federalist in Pennsylvania, who, on reflection will not agree, that more purity, and more of equal political liberty would have been diffused over the state through the medium of a single house of representatives, with all the executive powers annually elected: Under such a form of government, it would be impossible to extinguish the influence of talents, of property, of virtue, of correct political efforts—these the federalists would bring into operation at every election, and if we are not greatly deceived would at this moment and in future, should that form of government prevail, stand on the highest ground of political ascendancy. In New Jersey this opinion is verified by the fact, the government is completely popular—nominally there is no double branch, but in fact the whole executive, legislative, and judicial power is in a single body of representatives annually chosen: Many federalists concluded that our political affairs would be desperate under this form of government when it should get into the hands of a democratic administration—They acknowledge however, their error, the governor indeed and the joint meeting have, with regard to some petty offices and trifling arrangements been vindictive, unjust and mean, but with reference to all the great and essential points and principles of conduct and legislation, federalism have been triumphant. The reason of this is that the form of the constitution, left the democrats exposed to opposition, detection and controul: they could be checked at every fall election, and this salutary principle has ensured and will ensure to federal men the full effect of all their votes, their property and their talents. Is there an observing man in New Jersey who will not confess (setting aside the mere holding of paltry offices) that federal principles and influence is stronger than ever: but what if the party thus checked and controuled had come into power under a constitution with a strong and permanent executive power, like that of Pennsylvania it is evident that federalism would have been crushed; the party would have gone on fearless of opposition, and executed at their pleasure, every project likely to weaken and destroy their political opponents.
Let not then the terrors held out of a more popular form of government, determine federalists to take a part with the supporters of Mr. M c Kean: Could they even by their interposition, uphold it, let them consider both from what they have felt and what they may expect, whether their political power or civil security will be any way advanced by retaining Messrs. Dallas & Co. in the administration of such a constitution: to us it appears evident, that a strong constitution in the hands of demagogues, whether they call themselves by one name or another, are most destructive weapons, and since power is likely to go and be kept in such hands, the only way to divide and soften its rigour is to render the form of government purely elective and annual—then all classes of men and denominations will be sure to come in for a share, and be able at least partially to protect themselves against folly, persecution, and insolence. To test the question, whether this or a freer form of government would be most advantageous to federalism, let us for a moment contemplate. The democrats in Pennsylvania in possession of this constitution—a governor for nine years, with such executive power of appointment and patronage, and his other indirect influence, would in the completest manner put an end to the hopes and the efforts of those men who wish once more to see the reign of constitutional principles and judicial security. It is unnecessary to pursue the reflections which such a state of things suggests; and that the democrats will get hold of this government in Pennsylvania, either at the ensuing election, or a little later, is evident to all men who will allow experience and common sense to direct their judgments. The cry of aristocracy, lawyers, courts of justice, the people, &c. &c. will prevail, and Mr. M c Kean and his coadjutors, as well as the federalists, if they join to preserve the constitution, only club their efforts to hand it over to Messrs. Snyder, Duane, & Co. The truth is, that a good and perfect constitution, in the hands of honest and intelligent men, is a great blessing, but in the hands of ignorance, passion, and party, it must tend to sanction and perpetuate error, innovation any tyranny.
These considerations should at least alay the fervour of first impressions, and induce federal men to calculate how much is gained to them and their principles, even if the constitution is supported; if they succeed let them remember that Mr. M c Kean, Dallas, and Co. or Snyder, Duane, & Co. will administer it over them.
But again—what rational prospect is there, that their junction with the constitutional party will ensure the election of Mr. M c Kean, or even if it does, that a convention will be prevented? The probability is that Mr. M c Kean and his whole party will be cryed down in three months; they will be identified with federalists; stigmatised as aristocrats; decided as enemies of the people, intimidated by threats and violence, and in short be thrown out with utter disgrace. Mr. M c Kean and his supporters first corrupted the people, and then abused their principles, and disappointed their wishes; nay, more, insulted their feelings by ignominious epithets and disgraceful reflections upon their ignorance and depravity; can any reflecting person knowing the means and the exertions of the democratic leaders with such facts and materials to work with, doubt but that the friends of the people will overcome the friends of M c Kean: and should M c Kean be elected, still how is the constitution preserved? The people may call a convention themselves, or the popular branch do it for them.
Now, what will be the disgraceful position of the federalist, if after so much insolence and injury from the present ruling party, they join their standard even unsolicited, and find themselves, at the end of three months involved with them in utter ruin and annihilation? It deserves the grave and deliberate consideration of all those who have been thus treated by both the contending factions, what they are to gain in the struggle by interfering.
1st. Can they be assured that by joining with the constitutionalists, they will succeed in electing Mr. M c Kean?
2d. If they should succeed in his election, still is it not clear that the popular party will sooner or later new model the constitution?
3d. It is clear that the constitution as administered and will be administered by one or other of these parties, is beneficial to the community?
4th. Can they with honor or character interfere—had they not better let the storm of factions proceed, and reserve themselves, their honor, their efforts, and their principles—a period more favorable for their success and example?
These loose hints are put to press in haste, though not without having undergone much consideration. It seems fortunate that as yet the leading federal characters in Pennsylvania have suspended any decision—it is hoped they will ponder well the consequence of any connection with the present parties. If they will set up a governor of their own nomination, they can vote with honor and safety, tho' certainly with no present prospect of success.
LONDON, June 17.
We received this morning the Paris papers to the 9th, and the Dutch to the 12th. Some of the former hint at a plot to have been executed at Milan, which, as usual, is attributed to the English government. It is thus mentioned in the Bulletin de l'Europe.
"Persons will be very much astonished in Italy if they hear reported there the absurd stories which indolence or malevolence have been for some days circulating in Paris, upon a pretended conspiracy which was to burst forth at Milan, and whose object would have been to change, into a day of mourning, a day of the liveliest and purest joy."
"If England has sent some spies to Milan, they have produced as little effect upon the capital of that kingdom, as in the capital of the French empire. Discredited, dishonored, they have not been able to succeed in entering into a correspondence with any class of citizens. The moment of their arrival, the nature of their instructions was known before hand; their arrest was conducted with as little eclat as that of the vilest adventurers."
Of the movements, operations, and destination of the different squadrons at sea, the Moniteur affords no information; it merely says, in a dry brief note upon some of the English papers, that "in a month we shall hear where the combined squadrons are gone;" we hope the first intelligence we receive will be from lord Nelson, after having come up with them.
The mission of M. Novozilow occupies much of the attention of the Paris Journalists, and an article from Hamburg, in one of them says,
That a Congress for a General peace is to be held at Brussels: that Novozilow and the Prussian Minister are to mediate for Great Britain, and that the port of Ostend is to be opened to carry on the Diplomatic Correspondence with England.
The Paris papers of the 8th state, that the Arch Treasurer set off for Milan the day before, preceded by the Finance Minister.
"The departure of these two grand functionaries affords us room to believe, that Paris will be much longer deprived of the presence of its sovereign than was supposed."
It is believed that affairs of Genoa will keep his majesty much longer in Italy; it is proved besides, that he is expected at the Camp of Castiglione, where he will remain a fortnight, and that he is afterwards to reside for some time at Bologna."
The French funds are 61 1-2. The Falcon sloop arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, from off Havre, having received some damage in an action with some French gun brigs. Sixteen of them came out of Havre in open day: The Falcon, Chiffonne, and Sparkler engaged them for some time; four of them are said to have been driven ashore; the rest escaped into Fecamp. They came out in consequence of positive orders to collect to the eastward.
A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult. says, that a considerable alarm prevails there in consequence of the determination of the court to increase the military peace establishment, & form numerous camps; & that the state paper has experienced a considerable depreciation from the alarm of war.
Saturday the court of King's Bench, the papers and reports of the naval commissioners, and of the select committee of the house of commons, as if applicable to lord viscount Melville, were deposited in the hands of the crown officers, preparatory to their drawing out the information.
Notwithstanding the assertion of the Moniteur, the Rochefort squadron returned to the West-Indies, were counted in that harbor only last Wednesday, near the same number as they returned.

CHARLESTON, July 29.
The ship Benjamin, of New York, captain Scofield, was captured off our Bar yesterday afternoon, by the French privateer cruising off this port. This is believed to be the ship which was taken by a French privateer some time since, on her passage from the Cape of Good Hope for Havana, and retaken by the British and sent to Kingston, where she was bought in by Americans, and was now sailing under American colours. Captain Scofield is on board the privateer; the mate remains in the ship; and the crew were brought up last evening in a pilot boat. Captain S. belongs to Norfolk.
Captain Muir failed in company with Schooner —, Middling, for Philadelphia. Same day, spoke Schooner Sally, Van Allen, of New York, lying off and on, in hopes to obtain an entry. July 18, N. of the Mona Passage, was boarded by the British frigate Success, and treated politely. Next morning was boarded by the French privateer L'Alexander, capt. Dupuey, and treated with very abusive language.
The brig Charlotte, captain Morton, with a cargo of Cocoa, consigned to Ewing and Rolf, and Mr. Hommerfall, failed for this port 8 days before captain Muir.
The port of La Guira continued shut against Americans.
Schooner Mary, Webb, for this port, was to sail from New York in a few days after the Sea Flower.
No accounts had been received at Guadaloupe, from the combined fleets for a considerable time.

before captain Tate failed; nor could any probable conjecture be made of their destination. Captain Tate was boarded off the bar on Sunday, by a French privateer schooner, mounting four guns and one 18 pounder, and apparently about one hundred men on board; who appeared to be a motley collection of all nations. We are sorry to state that captain Tate recognized several Americans, and among them a captain Rob, who formerly failed out of this port. Captain Tate informs, that the brig Lydia, Patterson, of this port, captured by a French privateer, in Turk's Island passage, had been carried into St. Bartholemews, and the captain and crew liberated. The privateer had arrived at Guadaloupe, and the commander having informed the commander in chief of his having liberated the captain Patterson, general Ernouf expressed his approbation of his conduct, not wishing any more Americans, so situated, to be brought into Guadaloupe. On his outward bound passage, 24 hours after leaving this port, captain Tate was boarded by a French privateer, who robbed him of every article they could lay their hands on; compelled him to open his hatchets, and took out several articles of his cargo.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9.
FRENCH & ENGLISH FLEETS.
Captain Bradford, (who arrived at Boston the 30th ult.) last from Madeira, reports, that on the 2d July, in lat. 28, long. 33, he passed 10 line of battle ships, and 4 frigates steering E. S. E. They did not show any colours, but from their appearance, he supposed them to be English. This fleet could have been no other than Id. Nelson's, as the number of ships answers to the force which his lordship had with him, when he passed Antigua, in pursuit of the enemy, and from the course he was expected to steer, must have reached the latitude above mentioned.
The combined French and Spanish fleet was last spoken with on the 29th June, in the same latitude, and steering nearly the same course, and long. 43. If these accounts are correct, it will follow, that the British have made but little head-way in out-chasing their enemy, although having been in their tract for above five-and-twenty days. This is rather extraordinary, and can be attributed only to the superior skill and vigilance which the French navy have acquired, of keeping a-head of their enemies.
We have seen a letter from a gentleman in Leghorn, which contains an extract of a letter from one of the American captives in Tripoli, dated so late as April 9, giving the following very agreeable information: "A fair prospect opens to our view of being restored to the arms of our country and friends." Although we do not know the particular causes which gave rise to this pleasing expectation of our unfortunate brethren, we are persuaded, from the character of the writer, that some occurrence has taken place to justify us in congratulating the friends of the captives and the country, on the prospect of a speedy release.

A letter of the 10th of June, received by the ship Otis, arrived at New-York, from a respectable gentleman in London to his friend in that city, states that a negotiation was then depending between Great Britain and France, and that different opinions were entertained of the result; — the writer himself did not think it would be productive of peace.
We are informed that a new arrete of the Haytian government is received in this city. — It enacts that all vessels coming into their ports shall have their cargoes consigned to a resident (Black we presume) merchant, who previous to being admitted to an entry, shall give bonds to double the amount of the duties accruing in such cargoes. This decree has been issued for the purpose of securing to the administration the punctual payment of its duties. [Phil. pap.]
SPANISH AFFAIRS.
Various articles have lately been published, indicating in a pretty decisive manner the want of cordiality between our government and the court of Spain. Restitution to our citizens for former spoliations is refused; fresh spoliations are committed; government vessels are seized and carried into port; our minister sent for the purpose of amicably adjusting the boundaries of Louisiana, is treated with neglect, and suffered to depart without having accomplished the object; every thing, in short, seems to indicate an approaching rupture. For all these facts, however, we have no other authority than common report and accidental intelligence. If our administration know any thing of the mat-
ter, that knowledge remains with them a profound state secret. Notwithstanding the important and extensive commercial connexions which exist between the two nations, no intimations are given to our citizens by which to regulate their conduct. They are left to their own sagacity, unaided by any communications whatever, to divine the progress and the issue of every negotiation. These things are absolutely intolerable. There is not another nation under heaven where the people have the name of being concerned in the management of the affairs of government, where in fact they are treated with such contempt by the administration and are kept in such profound ignorance of matters essential to their ordinary business. Can no means be devised to draw forth such information as is important to every class of citizens, at the same time that government can have no interest in withholding it, unless it be to conceal their own degradation?

Extract of a letter from capt. R. Reynolds, late of the schooner Nancy, of and for New York, from Montego Bay, (Jam.) dated
LAZARETTO, Aug. 3, 1805.
"I arrived here a few days ago in the brig Lark, from Jamaica, on board of which I was put after the destruction of my vessel. On the 7th of July about nine leagues from Cape Coriats, I fell in with and was taken possession of by a French privateer, who after having plundered me of a variety of articles, put six men on board my schr. and on the 9th, the Jamaica convoy heaving in sight, the Frenchmen run the Nancy ashore a little to the northward of St. Anthony, and cut away my anchors. The Frenchmen seeing the British ships of war man their boats, immediately put every thing they could plunder me of, into the long boat and pushed off, leaving me and people on board the schooner. The English boats were soon along side when they swept my anchors and tried to get the schooner off, but finding it impracticable the lieutenant of the Theseus, who commanded the party, set her on fire, when she with her cargo of seventy puncheons of rum, &c. was soon consumed. I was then with my crew taken on board the Theseus, where I remained ten days, when the Lark being about to quit the convoy I got permission to take my passage in her; but I sincerely regret being obliged to leave my mate, Robert Williams and Noah Smith, both of the state of Connecticut, on board the Theseus, which the commodore detained notwithstanding my best endeavor to clear them. These men with my cook who I brought off and Thomas Potter of Richmond, who died soon after I left Jamaica, were the whole of my crew.
"The Frenchmen, who took me said they intended to run me up a creek with in the Collerados Rock, where they had a place of deposit, and where they had already an American brig, that they would learn us not to trade with their enemies at Saint Domingo, and that they had come out on purpose to take every American vessel they met with. He also informed me that they had previous to my capture, taken two brigs and a schooner from Liverpool, bound to New Orleans, out of whom they took the cargoes and let the vessels go.
"The above French privateer or pirate, is a low schooner with yellow sides and white bottom, mounts five guns and has ninety men. She has two felluccas under her command, who are stationed off the West end of Cuba, to take up to their den, the plunder of vessels of too large a draught of water to be got in.
"I left Montego Bay (Jam.) July 3, in company with the schr. Nelson, Thompson, for Newbern; Sophia and Cloe. Parks for Edenton (N. C.); Victory, and Caldwell, for N. York; and left there brig Luna, Troop; Jane Russet, to sail in five or six days; and at Rio-neva-bay, left the ship Favorite Mackie, to sail in 15 days for N. York.
Extract of a letter from Kingston, (Jam.) to a gentleman in Norfolk, dated July 13.
"We enclose you this day's Royal Gazette, wherein you will observe the strong representation again made to the governor by the assembly, for opening the ports to the American vessels as formerly, and his answer refusing—the fact is, his orders from England are positive not to open them, and not in consequence of some few people here applying to keep them shut against salted provisions."
Kingston (Jam.) July 13.
On Thursday the honorable house of assembly laid before his honor the lieutenant governor their representation of the miser-
able situation to which this island is likely to be reduced, by a perseverance in the measures lately adopted by the command of his majesty's minister's, for the prevention of a supply of salted provisions from the United States of America, to which he made the following reply:
"Mr. Speaker,
"And Gentlemen of the Assembly,
"In consequence of the measures which were taken during the late martial law for the security of Jamaica, all the neutral vessels have been by my directions, admitted to an entry at the several custom-houses in the island, although they may have contained salted provisions prohibited by my proclamation of the 30th of May last. The arrival of the Cork fleet which is daily expected, will, I trust, tend essentially to quiet the apprehensions you entertain of a scarcity of those articles, so necessary for the support of the poorer class of the inhabitants of the island as well as to correct the vegetable diet of the negroes."
Mr. James M. Henry, is appointed agent for the United States of America in this island, in the room of William Savage, Esq. resigned.
The brig Hunter, captain Inglefield, arrived on Monday morning from a cruise, with the ship Two Friends, of and from London, Neil M'Neil master; captured by a French privateer on the 4th of June, and re-taken off Charleston bar on the 19th following.
The Hunter also brought in with her the re-captured American schooner Three Sisters, with lumber mentioned to have been taken by a Spanish privateer. The value of the cargo of the former vessel is estimated at between forty and fifty thousand pounds sterling.
From the New York Morning Chronicle.
Captain Culver, of the brig Eliza Hamilton, arrived yesterday, obligingly furnished us with a St. Croix paper of the 12th July from which we extract the following
PUBLICATION.
The following regulations, which have this day been communicated to both Custom houses of this island, are hereby made known to the trading part of the community, viz.
1. All sorts of goods, without exception, may be imported to St. Croix, from all foreign places, provided said goods be imported in either Danish, European, American, or vessels belonging to our Danish West India Islands.
2. No foreign goods are contraband, except those imported in foreign European vessels, which goods remain henceforth, as they hereto have been prohibited.
3. The duties to be paid on such foreign goods from all foreign places, are as follows:
When imported in Danish European vessels:
 Articles denominated necessary, 5 per ct.  Do. less necessary, 7 per ct.  Do. of luxuries, 10 per ct. 
When imported in American vessels:
 Articles denominated necessary, 5 per ct.  Do. less necessary, 10 per ct.  Do. of luxuries, 15 per ct. 
Which above mentioned regulations commence from the 1st July.
THIRD PARTISM.
We are extremely sorry to learn, (says the Boston Centinel) that some of the Pennsylvania Federalists are listening to the plaintive songs of the Third Party politicians of that State; and that too notwithstanding the vile abuse and falsehood the former have suffered at the hands of the latter. We cannot see either policy or magnanimity in the union. The Suits ought to be left to feel the full weight of the evils they were so instrumental in bringing on their country. And what pray, are the Federalists to gain by their accession? They have neither nerve nor principle. They embrace, it is true, most of the learning and wealth of the democratic party. But they are the drones of the hives; and never would make working bees. The federal cause does not want their influence. The reign of democracy, cannot in the nature of things, be of long duration. The administration of the constitution must be restored to its framers and friends. And the federal arm alone ought to have the credit of saving the nation. The third party men are principally office seekers; and would very willingly use the federalists as a ladder to obtain their object.
"A mawkish, gabbled-witless rattle, (As some word-coiners call't;) Containing neither love nor hate, "Weak water-gruel without salt:"
Of all things, we abhor and detest the most.
TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.
The democratic writers are now willing to confess, and indeed in Pennsylvania have the hardihood to assert that the stories of defalcations of Pickering, Wolcott, &c. were all LIES, designed to answer the purposes of party; and which were successful. They now laugh in their sleeve at the credulity of the "dear people."
(Ibid.)
On the word Address.
There is a particular propensity inherent in us all, the effects of which are the same but the mode of application extremely dissimilar, and which may be known by the general term of address. The address of an old man consists in persuading his mistress that he is young; and that of a youth in insinuating that he has arrived at the age of maturity and secrecy. A sharper has attained the height of his wishes if he has the address to pass in the opinion of the world, for an honest man; and the latter is often suspected of being otherwise, if he displays too much address: modest women are frequently mistaken for coquettes by affecting their address; neither is a cyprian qualified to succeed in her profession until she has acquired that seeming address of innocence. A creditor displays his address in discovering the address of his debtor; and the address of a debtor consists in cautiously concealing his address from his creditor.

Highway Robbery! 1500 Dollars Reward.
YESTERDAY, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. JOHN PETER, an officer of the Bank of COLUMBIA, was stopped on horseback on the road between this town and Alexandria, and within about two miles of the latter place, by some unknown villain, shot through the body with a pistol, and robbed of a sum of money in his possession belonging to this  Institution , which he was taking to Alexandria, for the purpose of exchanging with the Bank there.
The whole sum taken amounted to Eighteen Thousand One Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Sixty-five Cents, made up in packages— among which were
 1 Post Note of the Bank of Virginia, for 800 dollars  1 ditto of the Bank of Alexandria for 500  1 ditto of the same for 500  1 ditto of the same for 450  1 ditto of the Bank of Potomac, 149 65 cents. 
A Check of the Union Bank, on the Bank of Alexandria, drawn by R. Higginbotham, Cashier in favor of Greatham and Deverau, by them endorsed and by Benjamin Stoddert, and C. Smith, Teller.
There were also a parcel of Post Notes of the Bank of Alexandria for 100 dollars and for 50 dollars each. The remainder was in current notes, principally of the banks of Alexandria and Potomac, and some few of the Bank of Virginia of different sizes and denominations.
As the ATTACK was SUDDEN, and the WOUND received of a nature to deprive Mr. Peter instantly of his senses, (although it is now hoped he will recover) the description obtained may not be very accurate. As far as we are in- formed, the man who perpetrated the act, is of middle stature, good countenance, and had a gen- teel appearance. He had on a dark blue or black coat, nankeen pantaloon, boots, and a black hat; he was on FOOT and ALONE at the time, but may have had accomplices concealed, and will pro- bably change his clothes.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be gi- ven to any person or persons, who will detect and bring to conviction the ROBBER: and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS additional for the recovery of the whole of the money, or in proportion for any smaller sum recovered. Should there be accomplices, and one of them make a discovery, so that it leads to the conviction of the robber, or to the recovery of the money, he shall receive the ABOVE REWARD, and in- terest will be made to obtain his PARDON.

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 e- ver before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for re- storing 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, Dy-  senteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter 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) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be- speak their intrinsic worth.

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 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 in- trinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.— price 25 cents a box.

Polygraphick Painting.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively prac- tised by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to excise by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New- York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF  WASHINGTON,
Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward she mer- ited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, char- acterised as an Ab-original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer,
"There is none more worthy than Washington."
The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public.
To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already fa- miliar with different engravings on this subject, with it is hoped, will find room for the present undertaking when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.— The price also is reduced to as to leave, comparative merits, no object.
Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on de- livery, (which is little more than the price of an en- graving of the same time) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Wash- ington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription pa- pers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery.
Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required, on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE A PORTRAITS
Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington,
On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple.
One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gads- by's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscrip- tions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmon- doon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer to Robert Gray's, King street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names.
The Artist presumes that the secret art of Poly- graphick Painting is known only to himself in the U- States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Mex- ico, without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so ex- act and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjec- ture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.
