AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE WHOLE GROUND."
The following paper has been published by the British government, and sent by its direction to every parish in the kingdom. It will inform and admonish Americans, as well as Englishmen; and will well repay the most attentive or repeated perusal.
C I R C U L A R.
To the officiating ministers of the several parishes in England and Wales.
IT having been tho't necessary, that at this momentous crisis, his majesty's subjects in every part of the kingdom, and of every rank and degree, should be fully apprised of the danger, with which their property and their lives, their liberties, and their religion are threatened, in order that their energy may be called forth, and that, under God's Providence, the safety of the realm may thereby be provided for and its ancient honour maintained; it having been also thought, that the church is the most safe, regular and certain channel of circulation, as well as the best suited to the importance of the subject: It appears advisable to adopt that mode of communication, more especially as, in the execution of the great national purpose, such material aid may be expected from the wisdom and zeal of the clergy. In consequence whereof you will herewith receive certain copies of a printed paper, entitled, "Important considerations for the people of this kingdom." It is requested, that you will be pleased to cause part of them to be deposited in pews, and part to be distributed in the aisles, among the poor on the Sunday following the day on which you shall receive them. They are also enclosed certain copies calculated for posting; one of which is intended to be placed on the church door, and another in some such public part of the parish, as you may deem best fitted for making it known among the parishioners.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PEOPLE of this KINGDOM.
At a moment, when we are entering on a scene deeply interesting, not only to this nation, but to the whole civilized world; at a moment, when we all, without distinction of rank or degree, are called upon to rally round, and to range ourselves beneath the banners of that sovereign, under whose long, mild, and fostering reign, the far greater part of us, capable of bearing arms, have been born and reared up to manhood; at a moment, when we are by his truly royal and paternal example, incited to make every sacrifice and every exertion in a war, the event of which is to decide, whether we are still to enjoy, and bequeath to our children, the possessions, the comforts, the liberties, and the national honors, handed down to us from generation to generation, by our gallant forefathers; or whether we are, at once, to fall from this favored and honorable station, and to become the miserable crouching slaves, the hewers of wood and the drawers of water, of those very Frenchmen, whom the valour of our fleets and armies have taught us to despise; at such a moment, it behoves us calmly and without dismay, to examine our situation, to consider what are the grounds of the awful contest in which we are engaged; what are the wishes, the designs, and the pretensions of our enemies; what would be the consequences, if those enemies were to triumph over us; what are our means, and what ought to be our motives, not only for frustrating their malicious intentions, but for inflicting just and memorable chastisement on their insolent and guilty heads.
The grounds of the war are, by no means, as our enemies pretend, to be sought for in a desire entertained by his majesty to keep the island of Malta, contrary to the treaty of peace, or to leave unfulfilled any other part of his sacred engagements: They are to be sought for in the ambition of the first Consul of France, and in his implacable hatred of Britain, because in the power and valor of Britain alone, he finds a check to the ambition, which aims at nothing short of the conquest of the world. His majesty, ever anxious to procure for his people prosperity and ease, eagerly seized the first opportunity that offered itself for the restoration of peace; but not without remembering, at the same time, that their safety, for which it was his peculiar duty to provide, was not to be sacrificed to any other consideration. This peace he concluded with the most sincere desire, that it might be durable, and the conduct of France would be
such as to authorize him to execute, with scrupulous punctuality, every one of the stipulations of the treaty. But scarcely was that compact concluded, when the first consul, at the very time that his majesty was surrendering to France and Holland, the great and numerous conquests he had made from them during the war, began a new sort of hostility upon the weak and defenceless states on the continent of Europe: Piedmont a country equal to all Scotland, was added to France: Holland, which had at the making of the peace, been reconciled as an independent nation, become, more than ever, the object of French rapacity and despotism, was compelled to furnish ships and stores for French expeditions, and to feed and clothe French armies; the only use of which was to keep her in a state of slavish subjection, and to render her shores an object of serious alarm and real danger to Great Britain; Switzerland was invaded by a French army, which compelled the people of that once free and happy country, to submit to a government framed at Paris, the members of which government were chiefly composed of men, who had betrayed the liberties of their country, and who were nominated by the consul himself. Notwithstanding, however, all these and several other acts of aggression and tyranny, some of which were highly injurious to Great Britain, and were shameful violations of the treaty of peace, still his majesty earnestly endeavoured to avoid a recurrence to arms; but the consul, emboldened by our forbearance, and imputing to a dread of his power, that which he ought to have imputed solely to our desire to live at peace, manifested his perfidious intentions, again to take possession of Egypt, whence we had driven him in disgrace; again to open a road to our possessions in India, there to destroy one of the principal sources of our wealth and our greatness.
Not contented with thus preparing for our destruction from without, endeavoring to cut off our intercourse with the rest of the world, shutting as far as he was able, all the ports of other countries against us; gradually destroying our navigation, commerce, and trade; hemming us up in our own island, and exposing our manufacturers, artizans, and laborers, to the danger of starving for want of employment; not contented with the malignant endeavors, and seeming to regard us as already within his grasp, he audaciously interfered in the management of our domestic concerns; required us to violate our laws by banishing those subjects of the French monarch, who had fled hither for shelter from his unjust and tyrannical government; demanded of us the suppression of the liberty of speech and of the press, and in a word, clearly demonstrated his resolution not leave us a moment's tranquility, until we had surrendered our constitution, until we had laid all our liberties at his feet, and until, like the Dutch, the Italians, and the Swiss, we had submitted to be governed by decrees sent us from France.
Besides the motives of ambition, the desire to domineer over, and to trample upon all the rest of mankind, the first consul has a reason, peculiar to himself, for wishing to reduce us to a state of poverty, weakness, submission, and silence; which reason will be at once evident, when we consider the origin of his authority, and the nature of his government. Having succeeded, thro' a long course of perfidious and bloody deeds, in usurping the throne of his lawful sovereign; having under the name of Equality , established in his own person and family, a government the most pompous and expensive, while the people are pining with hunger, and in rags; having, with the word Liberty , continually on his lips, erected a despotism the most oppressive, the most capricious, and the most cruel that the Almighty, in his wrath, ever suffered to exist; having, by such means, obtained such an end, he feared, that while there remained upon the earth, and especially within a few leagues of France, a people enjoying, under a mild and legitimate sovereign, all the blessing of freedom; while there remained such a people, so situated, and dreaded and not without reason, that their sentiments and their example would, by degrees, penetrate thro' his forest of bayonets, his myriads of spies, and would, first or last, shake the foundation of his ill-gotten power. He could not, indeed, impute either to our sovereign or to his subjects, any design, much less any attempt, to disturb him in the exercise of his usurped authority. We never have interfered, nor have we ever shown any desire to interfere in the concerns of the consul or his republic; and his majesty, even after all the acts of provocation, all the injuries and insults committed against himself and his people, has now solemnly renewed his declaration, that his object is not to destroy or change any thing in the internal state of other countries, but solely to preserve, in his own dominions, every thing dear to himself and his subjects.
This, however, is not sufficient to satisfy the consul of France; it is not sufficient that we abstain, both by actions and by words, from exciting discontent amongst those who have the misfortune to be subjects to his sway; we must not afford
them an example, we must not remain free, lest they should learn lessons of freedom; we must destroy our ancient and venerable monarchy, lest they should sigh for a lawful and merciful king; we must not be happy, lest they should covet happiness; we must not speak, lest our voice should disturb the peace of Buonaparte; we must not breathe, we must cease to exist, because our existence gives umbrage to a man, who from the walls of Acre, fled, in shame and disgrace, before a handful of Britons.
Such being the grounds of the war, such the wishes and designs, such the preposterous and insolent pretensions of the enemy, it next behoves us to consider, what will be the consequence to ourselves, what will be our wretched lot, if that enemy should succeed in the invasion and subjugation of our country. Of what the French would, in such case, do here, we may form some judgment, from what they have done in all those countries, where the remissness of the government together with the pusillanimity of the people, have given them the predominance. There is no country, into which they have been able to enter, where their footsteps have not been marked with blood; where they have spared either high or low, rich or poor, sex or age; where terror has not been their forerunner, and where desolation and misery have not marched in their rear. In the long and black catalogue of French cruelties towards the people of other countries, those of the first consul, and of the generals and soldiers immediately under his command, first present themselves to our attention. In 1796, Bonaparte, at the head of a numerous French army, invaded Italy, declaring to the people, that he came as their friend and their brother, to deliver them from taxes and slavery, and promising them safety for their persons, security for their property, respect for their laws, and reverence for their religion. They listened, they believed; they threw open their gates, they laid down their arms, they received the Gallic serpent to their bosom, and fatal indeed were the effects of their credulity! His reverence for their religion, he displayed by giving up all their places of worship to indiscriminate plunder and by defiling them with every species of sacrilege; his respect for their laws was evinced, not only by the abrogation of those laws, but by the arbitrary enforcement of an unconditional submission to the mandates of himself and his generals; the security which he promised to their property was exhibited in enormous contributions, in the seizure of all the public funds, as well as those of every charitable foundation, not excepting schools, hospitals, or any other resource for the support of the poor, the aged, and the helpless; and, as to the persons of the unfortunate people, he provided for their safety by laying the whole country under the severest military execution, by giving up the towns and villages to fire and sword, and by exposing the inhabitants to be pillaged and murdered by his rapacious and inhuman soldiers, whom he authorised and even ordered to shoot every man that attempted to resist them, whatever might be the crimes in which they were engaged. On his return from Italy, which he left in a state of beggary and irretrievable ruin, he prepared for the invasion of Egypt, a country which was at peace with France, and against the people or the government of which, France had no cause of complaint; but the conquest of this country was necessary in order to open a road to the Indian possessions of Great Britain.
In pursuit of this object, Bonaparte invaded Egypt, where he repeated his promises to respect religion, property, and persons, and where, the more effectually to disguise his purposes, he issued a proclamation, declaring himself and his army true Mahometans; and boasting of having made war upon the Christians, and destroyed their religion. One of their first deeds after this act of apostasy was to massacre almost all the inhabitants of the populous city of Alexandria. "The people," says one of his generals, betake themselves to their prophet, and fill their mosques—even but men and women, old and young, and even babes at the breast, ALL are massacred!" Some time after this sanguinary transaction Bonaparte having made prisoners of three thousand eight hundred Turks, in the fortresses of Jaffa, and wishing to relieve himself from the trouble and expence of guarding and supporting them, ordered them to be marched to an open place, where part of his army fired on them with musketry and grape shot, stabbing and cutting to death the few who escaped the fire, while he himself looked on, and rejoiced at the horrid scene. Nor were his cruelties, while in Egypt, confined to those whom he called his enemies; for finding his hospitals at Jaffa crowded with sick soldiers, and desiring to disencumber himself of them, he ordered one of his physicians to destroy them by poison. The physician refused to obey; but an apothecary was found, willing to perpetrate the deed; opium was mixed with their food; and thus five hundred and eighty Frenchmen perished by the order of the general, under whose flag they had fought; by the order of the very man, to whose despotic sway the whole French nation now patiently submits! Let them so submit, but let us not think of such shameful, such degrading submission. Let us recollect, that this impious and ferocious invader was stopped in his career of rapine and blood by a mere handful of Britons; and was finally induced to desert his troops, and to flee from the land he had invaded, at the approach of that aliant British army by which Egypt was delivered from the most odious and most destructive of all its plagues. This it is for us to recollect; and to recollecting, shame and disgrace upon our heads, if we do not resist, if we do not overcome, if we do not chastise this rapacious, this bloody minded tyrant, who has now marked out our country
for subjugation; our fields for devastation, our houses for pillage; and who, in the insolence of his ambition, has held us forth to the world as a meek, a feeble, and cowardly race, destined to grace his triumphal car, and to augment the number of his slaves.
(To be continued.)
NEW-YORK, Sept. 27.
By the British Packet from Falmouth, and the ship Black River, from Bristol, we have received London Intelligence to the 12th Aug. of which the following are the principal articles.
The Packet was chased into the Hook yesterday by a French privateer schooner, and the cap. held himself in readiness for an engagement; but before the privateer could overtake the Packet, the latter had arrived at the quarantine ground.
LONDON, August 11.
Government has it in contemplation to call up on every foreigner in this country to leave his name, address and occupation at the Alien Office, and to take measures against those who neglect to do so.
Lord St. Vincent has caused the most strict orders to be issued to the commanders of the different ships of war, that any of the crew who may be wounded, or otherwise hurt, so as to render it necessary to send them to the Hospitals, may receive a small ticket, to prevent their being deprived of the benefit of the chest at Chatham.
Several contradictory reports are in circulation relative to the conduct about to be adopted by the northern powers; by one it is confidently asserted that the Emperor of Russia has given the most unequivocal assurance to our government of his friendly disposition to the cause in which we are embarked, and that there is reason to believe that the Russian fleet now cruising in the Baltic will winter in a British port. A second report relative to Russia is, that in consequence of the blockade of the Elbe, the Russian Ambassador in this country had orders to return home, unless the propositions of the Court of Petersburg were accepted, and the Elbe reopened. It is also stated that the First Consul having demanded of the Court of Denmark permission to garrison Holstein with French troops, the Danes and Swedes had determined to declare against France. Neither of the above reports have we been enabled to trace to any respectable authority.
A report prevailed yesterday in the city that the most satisfactory accounts have been received of the determination of the Dutch to seize the first opportunity to free themselves from the tyranny of France, and that we have received every possible encouragement to undertake an expedition to the coast of Holland.
Arrived, British Packet Princess Amelia, Wade, Falmouth; ship Black River, Gallup, Bristol; Flora, Lee, Amsterdam; brig Georgia Packet, Living, Cadiz; Rocco, Galtischal, Jersey.
We are indebted to captain Hamilton, of the brig Gayoso, for the following extracts from his log book:—Left at Cape Francois, on the 14th instant, brig Fair America of Baltimore, time of sailing uncertain; schr. Hiram Chase, of Newport, to sail for New York in 5 or 6 days; Citizen, Muir, to sail for New York in 8 or 9 days; schr. Sophia, of and for Baltimore, to sail 3d inst. schr. Nancy, Jefferies of and for Philadelphia, 4th: Phoebe, of Philadelphia, uncertain; schr. Example, of Charleston, 7 or 8 days; brig Little Sarah, of New York, just arrived; two schooners, names unknown; and an eastern brig Sept. 18th, lat. 33, 29, long. 74, spoke schr. of Portland, from Jamaica for Boston, out 30 days. The Cape was closely blockaded by the English squadron under the command of Commodore Bligh, who boarded Capt. H. 3 leagues north of the Cape, treated him with the greatest politeness, and permitted him to proceed after little or no detention. American produce high in the Cape. Government had put every article of provision in requisition, payable one third in produce, and two thirds in bills of exchange on France, drawn by the colonial prefect in favour of the vendor of the goods. Accounts from Port Republicano, received 10 or 12 days previous to capt. H's sailing, mentioned its being in a state of the most deplorable distress, and its evacuation hourly looked for.
The British ship Lapwing, capt. Skeene, with 200 French prisoners taken at St. Pierre, arrived at Halifax from Newfoundland, on the 15th inst. On her passage, captured a schooner under American colours.
The schooner Brothers, Clements, from Boston, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 5th inst. and the schr. Betsey, Kelly, from do on the 4th.
Arrived since our last.
Ship Black River, Gallup, 44 days from Bristol. Left there, ship Bristol Trader, just arrived from this port; ship Sally, and ship Hope, to sail in about 10 days for this port. Sailed in company, ship Fenelope, Stanton, for this port.

APPARITION!!!
On or about the 20th of June last, as I lay meditating before day, I saw plainly the appearance of a young woman, by name Ashley, standing by my bed-side. Tabitha departed this life about the 15th of February last. The apparition said to me, "Will you go to my father's house, and read and pray with them, pray mightily with them, and warn them to prepare to meet their God in heaven? And also, go to my sister's house and warn them also to go to prepare to meet their God in heaven?"—And I said I will go. This alarming sight and voice put me in a strange amazement for ten days; when one day as I was alone in my Smith shop, about mid-day, I heard a voice say to me, "I am afraid you will not go to my father's house." I then turned to see who it was, but saw no one. I then turned to go out, when the voice said, "And will you go?" I then spoke an said, If the Lord will enable me I will go, and perform as far as the Lord enable me. The voice replied "Do as soon as you can make it convenient." Accordingly I went and performed my message, and again on my return, I heard the voice say to me, "Now I am satisfied." The apparition was dressed in a robe of white, of a strange description.

ANDREW JAMIESON, Chairman.
"THE dreadful Note of preparation" in Europe seems to have created a pause in our home political discussions; and the columns which erst were devoted to mangling and cutting up federal men and measures are now employed in bestowing upon the enemies of Bonaparte the honor of democratic invective, and in invoking the blessings of Heaven upon England by embarking it with their execrations. The Genet machines, which were clogged by Washington, and laid up in the time of Adams are now drawn forth, and their wheels begin to be set in motion. Already they creek a little—they move but slowly as yet; but we hear them working, and can venture to assure the public that they may soon expect, what between the affluence and industry of our Cis-Atlantic Jacobins, and the efficacy of some excellent oil, whereof much has and more will be imported from France, to see them very soon as industriously and actively at work as ever—yea, we hope until their axles take fire and burn them all up.
That domestic malice and animosity should give way to foreign concerns, would be a novelty in human affairs, if it could not be accounted for: the nearer to home, the nearer the grudge: the enmities and the vengeance of civil discord are many degrees more horrible and more implacable than those of foreign warfare. To turn off therefore from the massacre of federalists to that of England, would appear odd to all but those who are in the secret. As for those who are not in the secret, let them remain so, and wonder.
One would think from the way things are managed that America was in the political hemisphere one of those little miserable planets called satellites, and that is revolved round those enormous ones England and France, that though she moves in a circle of her own it is still a circumscribed one round those planets whose motions she is still obliged to follow through their vast orbits, whether their track lies through burning heat or freezing cold. So indeed, there are some ingenious discoverers who would make us believe.—But their theories are in our opinions false.—They want proof—they want the test of experiment and we hope they ever will want it.
This political astronomical discovery was first made at the beginning of the French revolution by an eminent star gazing philosopher who from his French observatory at Monticello endeavored to alarm the people of this country with a most portentous appearance which by turning his telescope purposely the wrong way, he perceived in the political hemisphere. The brightest constellation that gives glory and lustre to our star of the canopy—The Washington Sidus, he imagined or pretended to imagine that he saw moving out of its orb and falling into that of the Georgian Sidus some years since discovered by a philosopher of a different mould named Herschell. The supposed discovery created much noise—but no alarm. None believed it: but some pretended to believe it. The almanac makers had something new to put in their almanacs, the political astrologers were supplied with new means of prediction, from associations, conjunctions, conjectures and things before then unheard of and unknown, and of alarming the multitude with prognostications of portentous phenomena: and a general alarm every one knows is the finest time that can be thought of for every kind of imposture whether it be picking peoples pockets, bereaving them on their senses, or plundering them of their political rights.
The fallacy of the pretended discovery was soon perceived; but some remnants of error and fatuity attending it still lie asleep in the cobwebbed cavities of certain empty heads; and these supply our aforesaid political astrologers and almanac makers with the means of filing up the gaps in their hollow productions. To speak plainly. A conspiracy with England is still the cry. And, in short, America is held in so very humiliated a state that according to those gentlemen she is nothing, but with reference to England or France. The base, knavish aristocracy of Ireland never made a more false and infamous trade of their war whoop, of Popery, Whiteboy, French invasion, & Pretender, though all within sight of their shores of they existed at all, than our benevolent, candid democrats do at England and English connections though at the distance of 3000 miles, and though they know that they might with equal truth speak of Persian, Arabic, or Chinese connections, or assert that the federal party were in league with the Cham of the Kalmucks.
This mode of dispatching the decision of political controversies in America, by a reference to European politics, is something like the notion of Sam Foote, in his Play of the Lame Lover where in a mock trial he attempts to ridicule the law; and makes the fate of a borough to depend in the first instance on that of the estate, and the fate of that again upon the taking away of a cherry tree in the night. In the latter case the right of a member of the British Parliament to his seat in the
House of Commons, and to an immense estate, is to be decided by the particular time of night and mode of stealing away a cherry tree from the premises. And in the former the rights of the Federal members to their seats in Congress, and to the people's affections, are to rest upon the manoeuvres of a British letter of marque, or the mode in which an English ship of war hails an American coaster; perhaps even upon the length of the speaking trumpet with which she was hailed, or the colour of the paint with which it was varnished.
Those things do well enough to give point to a satire, to embellish a comic scene, or to exhilarate an audience with strange and whimsical combinations; for it is by their being contradictory that such combinations produce mirth. But they are a little too ridiculous to be mixed with serious concerns. If such nomenclature is presented to the people it ought to be rejected with scorn.
(Courier.)
The cause of the fury of Buonaparte at Boulogne when he cashiered the commandant, is thus related:
(London paper.)
"Two of our frigates, which were cruising off Boulogne, seeing an unusual bustle on the ramparts, concluded that Bonaparte was there, and fired two or three guns as a bravado. The shot went over the works, and fell into the town. This put the First Consul into a prodigious rage, and a tremendous discharge was kept up for some time from all the batteries. The balls, however, fell short of the frigates, which continued tranquil spectators of the confusion they had occasioned. When the little great man observed this, he burst into a paroxysm of fury, tore the epaulets with his own hand from the shoulders of the commanding officer, dashed them on the ground, and stamped and danced upon them like a mad man! He then broke the officer on the spot, and retired with a volley of threats and execrations, which his passion rendered unintelligible."
What the patriotic virtuous Cato said of the Roman people, may be said of all multitudes with equal truth. "The people, said he are like sheep; it is easier to drive a whole flock than a single one." We doubt whether there is a single individual in the United States, provided he were possessed of sense and honesty, who would have condescended to be cajoled by the rank nonsense and abominable wickedness of democracy and demagogues. But we see that whole flocks of them can.

Method of preserving fruit of different kinds, in a fresh state above twelve months; for which a premium of ten guineas was given by the Duffin Society, to Signior Ignacio Buen-segna.
It is necessary to pull the fruit two or three days before you begin the process.
Take care not to bruise the fruit, and to pull them before they are quite ripe.
Spread them on a little clean straw to dry them. This is the best done on a floor, leaving the windows open to admit fresh air, so that all the moisture on the skin of the fruit may be perfectly dried away.
Pears and apples take three days; strawberries only twenty four hours. Take the largest and fairest fruit. Choose a common earthen jar, with a stopper of the same, which will fit close. There must not be more than a pound (of straw berries) in each jar.
The pears and apples, when sorted and dried, must be wrapping paper. Twist it closely about the fruit. Then lay clean straw at the bottom, and a layer of fruit; then a layer of straw; and so on, till your vessel be full: but you must not put more than a dozen in a jar: if more, their weight will bruise those at the bottom.
Peaches and apricots are best stored up, wrapped each in soft paper, between the fruit, and also the layers. Grapes must be stored in the jar, with fine shred paper, which will keep one from touching the other as much as possible. Five or six bunches are the most that should be put into one jar; if they are not so many; for it is to be understood, that whenever you open a jar, you must use that day, all the fruit that is in it.
Strawberries, as well as peaches, should have fine shred paper under, and between them, in the place of the straw, which is only to be used for apples and pears. But in the strawberries and the paper layer by layer. When the jar is full put on the stopper, and have it well luted round, so as perfectly to keep out the air. A composition of rosin, or grafting wax, is best; let none of it get within the jar, which is to be placed in a temperate cellar. Be sure to finish your process in the last quarter of the moon.
Do not press the fruit; as any juice running out, would spoil all below.
Bonaparte wears a plain jacket upon his tour along the coast, well knowing that it will be well trimmed when he ventures to cross the channel. (London paper.)
A Seaman once coming before the committee of shipping of the East-India Company in Leaden-hall-street, to be examined for some office on board one of the Company's ships, was treated with slight and contempt by one of the members, who went so
far as to say that he doubted whether the fellow could box the compass, that is to say, run over regularly all the points of it. Jack sturdily but humorously replied, "I can better than you can, say the Lord's Prayer." All the other members laughed and Jack encouraged offered to lay him five guineas of it. "You can't be off said some." So the insolent gentleman thinking it best to put a good face upon the matter said, "Done with you," and laid down his five guineas too. The honest tar went through his part, and boxed off the compass in high spirits, and with great precision and rapidity.
The member of the committee then followed, and with little trouble went thro' the Lord's Prayer, having done which he stretched forth his hand to take up the cash. "Avast! avast!" cried Jack, gripping his wrist with the strength of an ox—not so fast neither. "Why," said the other "you have not said the compass better than I did the Lord's Prayer." "Ay, but hold, I'm not half done yet," returned the sailor, and immediately began and said the compass backwards with no less precision and quickness than he had before said it forwards. Having done, "Now say the Lord's Prayer backwards if you can," said he, "and the money is yours." "I can't," said the other. "Then the money is mine," said Jack; and putting it very deliberately into his pocket, advised his antagonist to contend with his equals another time.

ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT JAUNDICE BITTERS,
A MEDICINE extremely useful when Jaundicy and Bilious Complaints are so prevalent among the citizens of America and the West Indies. They are a useful and efficacious Medicine for curing Jaundicy and Bilious dis- orders, and removing that sinking, faint, distressed feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the fore- part of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common to jaundicy and bilious people. Also removing constipation of the bowels, ob- structions of urine, cholicky complaints, pukings and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheu- matic complaints, &c. (which arise from a collec- tion of sour, bilious matter in the stomach) and at length restoring the constitution to strength and vigor.
They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes.
The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine, (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
Wheaton's Patent Itch Ointment.
The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either dangerous or disagreeable; it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder. One box cures a person, and there need be no washing after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and smoother after the use of it than before. August 2. z2w6m
