Communication.
It appears probable that a new coalition is forming against France, and that Russia, Sweden and Austria are in alliance with England. We are told that a great body of Russians is moving through Poland and will be ready to reinforce the Austrians in season to repel any attack that the French Usurper who is accustomed to strike before he threatens, may be expected to make upon the latter. The struggle for the recovery of Italy, from the French is to be renewed, and instead of invading England Bonaparte, will have to contend once more for his crown. The neutrality, if not the co-operation of Prussia and Denmark, is foretold.
It is natural that the first indications of a powerful confederacy against France, should be interpreted to promise every thing to Englishman, weary of the known weight, and dejected by the prospect of the unknown length of the contest. Coalitions ever promise much in their inception, they usually disappoint all in their progress. A single power has generally proved an overmatch for their arms. The honeymoon may sibly last till the allies have taken the field, and fought the first battle. But the good or bad fortune of that battle is almost sure to dissolve the ties of their neutral confidence if not the bands of that alliance. If defeated they throw the blame on one another. If victorious they are made envious and jealous by the allotment of the spoil.
No doubt Austria will be hearty in the cause, for she will fight for her life. But her very fears may be skilfully used by Bonaparte to detach her from the confederacy. He may offer her some Turkish provinces, he may yield other points of real magnitude that will give her a temporary security, or the shew of it, which she may deem preferable to a more hazardous obstinacy in the contest.
This, Austria may deem herself almost compelled to prefer, by an early discovery, of the tardiness of the disposition of the Russian cabinet, and perhaps still more emphatically by the detection of its immeasurable ambition.
Russia has probably no fears of the French and can have no hopes of aggrandizement by wresting any thing from them. Russia will enter the lists therefore with very different views and infinitely less ardour than Austria. She must engage in the war from calculation. It may offend her pride that the French Emperor plays the first part in Europe. She may dread a great loss of consideration and political influence unless she contends with him. But her means for a long war are not considerable. It may be said that England is rich and will supply the primary means. Large subsidies will no doubt invigorate and hasten the military operations of this power, it is nevertheless a great mistake to suppose that a prodigious expense will not be left after all the English guineas are counted in St. Petersburg, to be defrayed by the Russian government. These are reasons therefore for a natural apprehension that the efforts of the Russians will be made upon a less scale & with less energy, and continued for a much shorter time than any man will prescribe for effecting the only rational object of a continental war, viz. a reduction of the colossal power of France. All independent nations must quake within sight and almost within touch of their feeters till this is done.
And to do it surely , more than one campaign is necessary. France will assuredly set her foot on the world's neck if the force and the spirit does not exist somewhere to face her in arms with a steadiness equal to her own ambition. England alone has that force and spirit. A confederacy is a rope of sand and will break to pieces or at least manifest its total insufficiency in a year. But as soon as the English nation can be made to view the contest in its true light, and what is ten times as much to the purpose, to feel it as they see it, they will boldly rely on themselves and cautiously ask or take assistance from her allies. For these allies the Russians especially, may claim the partition of Turkey in recompence of a longer perseverance. Dismembering ambition would quench all hope of tranquility in Europe. It would also inevitably dissolve any coalition that could be formed. Neither Austria nor England would assent much less assist, to confer universal empire on Russia.
France has had time to consolidate her new empire. All that policy and violence can do has been done, and all that arms can do will be done to maintain her acquisitions. To maintain them is probably as much a national cause with the French as it was with the Romans to keep Hannibal
out of Rome, after the battle of Cannae. French vanity will not therefore be subdued, it will be irritated and roused by national losses and by the disgrace of their arms. Bonaparte's own vanity and that of his nation would probably require that England should be invaded, if the ripening of the expected coalition should not furnish perhaps the occasion, and certainly the excuse for the abandonment of that extravagant project. In this view of the matter, the coalition will prevent more good than we can imagine it will ever achieve. For of all the possibilities of a speedy remedy of the present enormous evils of Europe by the reduction of the preponderant power of France, the only one that holds out any national promise is that of the Invasion . Two hundred thousand men landed in England, and the winners of the first three or four battles, would certainly fall at last, and involve the imperial usurper in their fall. His boasted glory would sink even faster than his power. The enslaved nations would then make haste to break their chains.
But supposing no invasion, which in the event of a new coalition is no longer to be supposed, it then becomes impossible even to conceive of any remedy but a late and exceedingly gradual one.
To fight down gigantic France to her former size, so that other nations may again breathe in safety and independence can scarcely take less than half a century, of prosperous warfare. These mushroom products of accident, money or intrigue, these brittle ephemeral coalitions are quite inadequate to the end. While they last they will cherish false hopes, and when they fail, they will engender groundless fears, and for the next seven years may prevent the discovery and delay the resort to the only effective resources of safety.
For England alone, we repeat it, is pledged, is pinned and nailed down to the combat. To fit and take blows is hard, but she still has the privilege, the precious, glorious privilege the Dutch, Swifs and Italians, have lost, of returning them. Every war brings its burthens and losses, but this war brings its terrors too, for it hazards and will decide upon her life and honor. The decision cannot be evaded, the contest can not even be intermittent without her ruin. By eighteen months of treacherous peace she suffered a greater reduction of comparative strength than by eight years of war. Her warlike efforts for this whole century would not impoverish her. A delusive calm, called peace, for three years would put an end to her efforts forever. She has men, she has courage, she has all the means of self defence—She wants only that overpowering impression upon her people that time will make, though it is not yet made, to have the command of those means. She must rouse as Carthage did in the third Punic war, but not so late. Her Foxes and her Burdits will be silent when the very rabble are convinced that England cannot exist at all unless the power of France be reduced—that as long as she contends for the reduction of that power, she enjoys both existence and glory. She is therefore to choose war not as a state preferable to peace, but preferable to the ignominy of wearing French chains. When these ideas, unfortunately so well vouched by her situation, are admitted by all men in the nation, and the time is coming when they will be irresistible, every thing in England will become a weapon of war, and every man a soldier or sailor to wield it. The minister will have reason to rely on the abundance of resources, and what is more to the purpose of the war, on the perseverance and patience of the public. English spirit thus roused might laugh at mercenary coalitions and French menaces. France can have no commerce, and a nation of soldiers must thrive by spoil and not by manufactures. If to get fresh spoil they enlarge the circle of their depredation, they rouse new enemies and create more zealous coalitions than English guineas can buy.
These opinions will no doubt seem extravagant to many persons. But the evil of French domination is now of many years standing. It is not very rational to suppose that a battle or a campaign is to cure it. There are many evils which attend human life through the entire course of it. Perhaps it is made in wisdom and in mercy too, by the great Ruler of the Universe, the condition of an Englishman's life, that he shall spend the whole of it in fighting the French. And if his sons and his grandsons should think liberty and independence intolerable on these terms, let them lie down in the dust, in the peace of slavery, and try to forget their honors and their ancestors.

SALZBURG (Bavaria) August 14.
All the troops quartered near the Turkish frontier are under orders. The Austrians are moving towards the Inn and the Tyrol. Besides the 12,000 men at Brennau, a considerable force has proceeded towards Sharding. [Moniteur.]
MUNICH (Bavaria) August 15.
A general uneasiness pervades the public mind. The armaments of Austria are a sufficient proof that she is determined on war, and the immense bodies of troops which she is marching to the Inn, indicate an intention on her part to take possession of Bavaria, as the first operation. The Austrian minister has hinted that the measure would take place. In consequence, many persons expect every moment to see the Austrians marching against Munich; and the elector of Bavaria finds himself constrained to take measures of precaution for his states, and his personal safety. [Moniteur.]
INSPRUCK (Tyrol) August 12.
All the troops of the monarchy are on the march. Various camps are forming. Prince Charles has purchased the horses for his suite: The archduke John sets out in 20 days. [Moniteur.]
The German papers announce, that the elector of Bavaria has collected a large army, and train, on the frontiers of Austria; and is determined to abandon his neutrality, and join France and Prussia; whose interests are inseparable.
The general attention seems, at the present moment, to be fearfully directed to the grand question: Shall the continent continue at peace, or not? The answer to this question will depend, in a great measure, upon the system which the court of Vienna may pursue. They who fear that peace will not be preserved, ground their opinion on the continuance of the preparations for war, which are going on with greater activity than ever. The camp at Patten, in Stiria is already complete, and another is forming in the vicinity of Cracow; in the Tyrol they are employed very actively in strengthening several military posts, and the levy of sharpshooters is organizing again and provided with arms. On the 8th instant a company of cannoners marched for that province, another for Venice, and a third for Upper Austria; at the same time orders have been sent to General Count Klenau, to march immediately with his corps to Budweis, in Bohemia, there to await further orders; this corps is said to consist of thirteen regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry.
RATISBON (Bavaria) August 30.
A general consternation prevails here. The Russian troops are said to be on their march towards Hungary and Bohemia, menacing us as much as France. They inspire confidence in the Russians whose troops are about invading Bavaria, and even Switzerland. All these movements announce that Southern Germany approaches to the greatest misfortunes. [Moniteur.]
AUGSBURG, August 19.
It is stated, that the king of Prussia is assembling troops in Franconia, in Amspach and Barneth, to support the neutrality which the Princes of the South of Germany are determined to maintain, in case Austria goes to war. A treaty between Prussia and Bavaria for this object is talked of.
A large body of men is to be stationed in the environs of Lintz. The court of Vienna is taking very strong measures for the safety of the capital of the empire.
The last letters from Venice state the amount of the garrison there at ten thousand men. The greatest activity is using in fortifying the isle of St. George. Orders have been issued to repair, as speedily as possible, all the forts and places in the Venetian territories, as well as those which cover the Venetian passes in the Tyrol and Carnivola. The troops in Austrian Italy, as well as the line of posts along the Adige, has been reinforced. At the same time we hear, that the Austrians in the Brisgaw have been ordered to march to the Voralberg.
STUTGARD, August 25.
The elector of Bavaria, it is said, will, with his family, remove to Wurtzburgh, in Franconia.
BERLIN, July 20.
The baron de Hardenburg, in his note to M. Laforet, the French minister, expresses the deep regret of his Prussian majesty at the return of the passports by M. Novosiltzoff; and at the same time observes, that the union of the Ligurian Republic
(Genoa) with France, was an event much unexpected.
ST. PETERSBURGH, August 13.
M. de Novosiltzoff returned to this capital on the 4th inst. The troops are arriving on all sides. Count de Buxhaven, general of infantry, and military governor of M. go, and lieutenant general Essen, are already arrived. General Bennigsen is also on his return from Vienna.
The greatest warlike preparations are making in all parts of the Russian empire. A messenger left this city yesterday for England, who it is reported, is the bearer of the treaty concluded between Russia, Sweden and England. It is also said, that the Prussian minister will leave this capital to day or to morrow.
It is said that our troops will shortly march into the Austrian territories, particularly Galicia and Silesia, in the neighborhood of Jagerndorf and Troppau. There is a report too of an embarkation of troops for Swedish Pomerania, and likely troops for another destination.
LONDON, September 6.
The cession of Swedish Pomerania to Russia, is officially contradicted. This is an important fact; as it is now not unreasonable to suppose that Prussia will remain neutral; for we know not of any other point upon which the cabinets of Petersburg and Berlin are likely to disagree.
Government has received information that the camp at Boulogne was breaking up, and the troops marching towards the Rhine. Sir Sidney Smith, has been off the French coast reconnoitering.
The French Moniteur complains of the desertion of the Italian troops into Germany.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Admiralty-Office, September 3. A letter has just been received from captain Barton of the Goliath, dated August 18 informing of the capture on the 16th, of La Torche a French national corvette, of 18 guns, and 196 men, commanded by captain Deben, having on board 52 of the late Blanche's crew.
She was one of the squadron that destroyed the Blanche.
Dispatches have been received from admiral Coingwood, informing of the arrival of the combined fleet at Cadiz; the 20th August, consisting of 28 sail of the line. Sir Robert Calder, and admiral Cornwallis, had been made acquainted with the fact.
Admiral Cornwallis mentions, that a squadron of ten sail of French ships (four of the line) had chased the Melampus frigate on the 30th of August, off the Penmarks. They are supposed to be the ship left at Vigo and bound to L'Orient.
The homeward bound Jamaica fleet of 156 sail, has arrived; without the loss of a single ship, or at most but one.
Our letters from Falmouth state, that the homeward bound East India fleet were in sight.
The Rochefort squadron it is said sailed into Brest, when Cornwallis hauled off to intercept the combined squadron.
WASHINGTON, November 1.
The following papers have been recently received from England: Their authority may be relied on. The decision they announce is the more important from a contrary one having heretofore been adopted in the British tribunals.
Whitehall 28th June, 1805. Council Office.
Sir, THE LORDS of his majesty's most honorable Privy Council having had under their consideration a report of his majesty's advocate, attorney and solicitor general upon the petition of Thomas and Isaac Littledale, setting forth that on the arrival of the American ship Leda, Williamson master at the port of Liverpool from New York, with a cargo of flour and staves, the entry of the said cargo had been objected to, on the ground that the master of the said vessel had not become a citizen of the United States, previous to their independence, and that the said vessel was not entitled to import the said goods for home consumption, according to the act of the 37th of his majesty, chap. 97. and it appearing by the said report that the master of the said ship is qualified to be the master of an American ship, so as to entitle the said ship legally to import goods into this country under the statutes referred to. I am directed to transmit a copy of the said report to you, for the information of the commissioners of his majesty's customs, and I am to desire that directions may be given to the officers of the customs of Liverpool to admit the cargo of the said ship to be

entered for home consumption under the statute of 37 of his majesty, chap. 97. I am, &c. Signed, W. Fawkener. Custom-house, London, July 1, 1805. Let the collector and comptroller of Liverpool take care that the directions contained in Mr. Fawkener's letter, of which the foregoing is a copy, be duly obeyed. By order of the commissioners. Signed J. HUME.
To the Lords of his Majesty's most honorable Privy Council. May it please your Lordships, IN obedience to your Lordships directions, signified to us by Mr. Fawkener, we have taken into consideration the petition of Thomas and Isaac Littledale, setting forth that on the arrival of the American ship Leda, Williamson, master, at the port of Liverpool from New York, with a cargo of flour and staves, the entry of the said cargo had been objected to on the ground that the master of the said vessel (who is a native of Scotland) had not become a citizen of the United States previous to their Independence, and that the said vessel could not therefore legally import the said goods into this kingdom for home consumption according to the terms of the act of the 37th of his Majesty, ch. 97. And we have the honor to report our opinion to be under the authority of the case of Wilson versus Maryat in the King's bench in 1798, and afterwards in the Exchequer chamber in 1799, that Williamson having become a citizen of the United States, and having (as it is to be presumed) a bona fide residence there, is qualified to be the master of an American ship, so as to entitle such ship legally to import goods into this country under the statute referred to.
All of which is humbly submitted to your Lordships' wisdom. (Signed) J. NICHOLL, S. PERCIVALL, VICARY GIBBS.
NORFOLK, October 28. On Saturday arrived here the ship Susan and Sarah, Captain Marner, from Bordeaux, having touched at New Port. Captain M. left all his papers except one, a Bordeaux paper of the 10th September, at New Port, with that he has favored us from which, and the information of captain Marner, we present our readers with the following summary.
War with Austria was not declared when captain M. sailed, but was deemed inevitable; as the French armies were marching in great force towards the Austrian frontiers, and it was confidently said that the French had occupied Naples.
The invasion so long talked of, has terminated as it commenced, in talk only. The camp at Boulogne was broken up about the last of August, and 90,000 men in three divisions marched for the Rhine. On the 1st of September, six regiments of Chasseurs and three of Hussars, passed through Lille and the next day the division under the command of Marechal Davons composed of 20 regiments of infantry, passed, that scarcely a day passes without considerable bodies of troops marching through that place. We notice similar movements in other parts of France. Every thing announces the most active preparations for war on the part of that nation.
Of the preparations on the part of Austria and Russia, the paper which we have, says very little; we notice an article under the head of Venice, of the 21st of August, in which it is stated, that the Russian fleet at Corfu, had sailed to join another fleet having a convoy, from the Black Sea. The fortifications of Venice were going forward with the former activity.
The combined fleets are stated in the Moniteur of the 3d of September, to have sailed from Ferrol, on the 14th of August, and arrived at Cadiz on the 22d of the same month. But no mention is made of that fleet having sailed again, as stated in the London papers received at New York. Admiral Collingwood, (says the Moniteur,) was at anchor with four ships of the line, on the morning that the combined fleet entered Cadiz, he retired to Gibraltar, having nearly been captured. The Minister of Foreign Affairs arrived at Paris from Boulogne, the 2d of September, upon which a cabinet council of all the ministers were assembled by the emperor at Malmaison.
The foregoing comprises nearly all that we deem worthy of notice in the paper which we have received. Exchange on London at Bordaux, the 10th of September, fs. 25, 5.

CHARLESTON, October 21. On Thursday last, about 100 miles to the eastward of the Bar captain Hutchinson, of the ship Rolla, from Liverpool, fell in with the French privateer schooner Superb, captain Dominique, and was ordered to come on board the privateer with his papers. This order captain H. immediately complied with; but no sooner had he got on board than he was surrounded by fifteen or twenty Frenchmen, Spaniards, and mulattoes, who with violent threats and much abuse, drawing their knives and daggers, were proceeding to take his papers by force. This captain H. resisted, but the wounding each of his papers separately, they were satisfied of the property being American, and told him to proceed. While captain Hutchinson was undergoing this examination, a lieutenant and six of the privateer men jumped into the Rolla's boat, and going on board the ship commenced a most disgraceful scene of plunder-breaking open the chests in the cabin, stealing every article they could lay their hands on, and otherwise, behaving like savages and pirates. On captain H. returning to the ship they were about taking away his boat; upon his refusing to give her up, the privateer men struck him several times, and threatened to stab him; but finding him resolute and determined not to give up his property without a struggle, they went off.
Captain Hutchinson was informed by some of the crew, that they had engaged a ship off our bar, which they supposed to be a Guineaman; and that they had four men killed in the action. The sail and rigging of the privateer were much cut, but her hull did not appear to have received much injury. A great number of wounded men were on the deck, one of whom captain H. supposed to be the captain. They also confirmed the report of the captain having shot the lieutenant, for attempting to haul down the colours. The privateer had but two guns mounted—the rest, they stated, were in the hold. Captain H. observed several people below, whom he supposed to be prisoners; but was not suffered to speak to any of them.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2. The French national corvette La Faune, one of the squadron which engaged the frigate Blanche, has been captured by the British frigate Camilia, and has arrived at Plymouth. The French squadron which engaged the Blanche consisted of two frigates and two corvettes, mounting 102 guns, with 870 seamen and 230 soldiers. The French Commodore, (Beaudin) on receiving captain Mudge's sword on the quarter deck, returned it to him directly, accompanied with a very handsome speech on his gallantry, in opposing so superior a force. The gallant captain Mudge is son of the celebrated Dr. Mudge, of Plymouth. The French commodore, being of the old French nautical school, behaved with the utmost politeness to captain M. his officers, and ship's company. Removals from Office. Governor M'Kean has begun this good work, by removing from office, one of the most furious democrats in the state of Pennsylvania. We hope to hear no complaints upon this subject from the Democrats, "as the public good requires removal," if we should, we shall publish their own defence of Mr. Jefferson for removing persons unfriendly to his administration. (Norfolk Public Ledger.) PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION—We are sorry to find that the Enquirer by his paper of the 22d, is still grumbling about the result of this election, his imagination appears to be disturbed, for in the agony of his ravings he spares neither friend nor foe; as for us poor feds, we have nothing to
hope for, nor nothing to expect, except unextinguishable malice and eternal persecution bellum internecionem. But then the Enquirer should have some mercy upon his friends, and not expose the infirmities which they have, or which he says they have.
After giving vent to his rage against the federalists, and "THE UNION OF HONEST MEN," he comes to speak of the republicans, and a very comical account he gives of them. We are told that some of them "exhibit the corruption of Yazoo Speculators" that others "who would be leaders" have deserted from "disappointed ambition and resentment," and others again have a servility and "soften down their conscience for the sake of federal dinners" and though last, not least, that they who have got posts and places have ceased to be working members—for says the Enquirer, adding to his complaints against the republicans "and the indifference of men, in whom the possession of an office, or the enjoyment of ease, has extinguished energy of principle."
We beseech our readers to believe that that is not an exaggerated picture drawn by us, but by the Editor of the Enquirer, it is thus that he describes the republicans. The Editor of the Enquirer may rely upon it that the people of America are returning fast to sober principles, and he may grumble free, and complain, but "THE UNION OF HONEST MEN," will crush the hydra of faction. (Ibid)
FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER. REMARKABLE DECISION Of the Tribunal at the Havanna, upon a Bill of Exchange.
AS this was a decision upon a case unattended by any circumstances of ambiguity; upon a bill of exchange regularly drawn for value acknowledged to be received, and actually received at the time of drawing, it may not be amiss to give it publicity, that the public may know how to appreciate bills drawn in that place (the Havanna) in the event of the drawee refusing to honor them. To judge correctly of the nature of this decision we premise the outlines of a contract, which led to the drawing of the bill. I. S. A. purchased of N. B. a ship, for the purpose of making a voyage to the Havanna. To effect that voyage it was necessary for A to put the ship under the Spanish flag, and the conditions of purchase were, that if A should think proper and should be permitted by the governor at Havanna to restore the ship to the American flag, in that port, in that case, it should be at his option to reconvey the ship to B. he (A.) paying to B. a consideration stipulated in the contract, for the run of the ship; but in the event of his not wishing, or not being permitted to restore the American flag, in that case it was stipulated for him to hold the ship, and to make payment for the same to B. by bills drawn by N. F. to whom the same ship was addressed, on him (A.) in favor of B. The American flag was not permitted to be restored; bills were drawn on F. agreeable to contract; A. refused to honor them; they were protested and returned to the drawer, F. who also refused to make payment. The bills were now laid before the consulado, a tribunal of high authority, and to whom subjects of this nature are required to be referred.
The Spanish laws upon bills of exchange, like the English, admit of no plea to be brought in bar to the payment of bills regularly made; & even though a valuable consideration should not appear from any other evidence than the declaration in the bill, to have been received, still the drawer by the act of drawing binds himself to pay in default of the drawee. Such is the law. But in the body of the bills laid before the consulado, there was not only a declaration but the property making the consideration was designated F. was cited before the consulado, and there were but two possible questions to make: Did you draw these bills? Yes. Have you been regularly notified of their non-payment? Yes. There was no doubt with any merchant relative to the decision of the consulado, and that it would order the bills paid. It has decreed, however, that F. ought not to pay, because he received no valuable consideration though the face of the bill declares otherwise, and denominates the consideration received—the decree adds however—at present. But if F. is exonerated on the grounds assigned by the consulado, it is difficult to comprehend how he is to become liable by any lapse of time. It is the nature of injustice to blunder into nonsense and absurdity.
At a tribunal where a sense of justice is but a secondary motive it cannot be expected that an intricate subject will meet a very scrupulous investigation. A degenerate spirit is incompetent to discriminate accu-
rately, and some allowance is to be made for habitual corruption. But when a question of justice between individuals, it disregards contracts made by its own laws, and in terms not to be misunderstood, it is not only oppressive but exceedingly impolitic. It is by such outrageous steps, and prostitution of character that a nation falls into contempt abroad, and it is from such measures practised at home, that it ultimately sinks under the indignation of its subjects.
From the Charleston Courier. MY FATHER.
Who took me from my mother's arms And smiling at her soft alarms, Shew'd me the world and nature's charms? My Father.
Who made me feel and understand, The wonders of the sea and land, And mark through all the maker's hand? My Father.
Who climb'd with me the mountain's height And watch'd my look of dread, delight, While rose the glorious orb of light? My Father.
Who from each flower, and verdant stalk, Gather'd a honey'd store of talk, To fill the long delightful walk? My Father.
Not on an insect would he tread, Nor strike the stinging needle dead, Who taught at once my heart and head? My Father.
Who wrote upon that heart the line, Paideia grav'd on virtues shrine, To make the human race divine? My Father.
Who fir'd my breast with Homer's fame, And taught the high heroic theme, That nightly flash'd upon my dream? My Father.
Who smil'd at my supreme desire, To see the 'curling smoke' aspire, From Itea's domestic fire? My Father.
Upon the raft amidst the foam, Who with Ulysses saw me roam, His head still rais'd to look for home? My Father.
"What made a barren rock so dear!" "My boy! he had a country there!" And who then dropt a prescient tear? My Father.
Who now in pale and placid light, Of memory gleams upon my sight, Bursting in the sepulchre of night? My Father.
O! Teach me still thy christian plan, Thy practice with thy precept ran; Nor yet desert me—now a man, My Father.
Still let thy scholar's heart rejoice, With charm of thy angelic voice; Still prompt the motive and the choice, My Father.
For yet remains a little space, Till I shall meet thee face to face, And not as now, in vain embrace, My Father.

They have proved singularly efficacious in Billious and Yellow Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholick, Colicwens, 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.

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 Oucheta, and the Ba-son of Berthelaine, in the county of Oucheta, 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 Oucheta. 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 fast 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 any thing 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 grounds) 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's and Thomas Chase, Esquires, at Baltimore; David P. Dewees, at Alexandria, Virginia; Dr. J. Scott, of Frederickburgh; or of the subscriber at New Orleans, but at present in Philadelphia. William Dewees. September 16. 1aw

Said fellow was raised near Aquia, where I some time ago purchased him of captain Harrison; it is supposed said fellow has a pass and will attempt to pass as a free man.
