ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD. RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB, about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unnes- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment. Captains of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away. ROBERT B. JAMESSON. Nov. 15.

Twenty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY on Easter Monday, a Negro man called TOM BURDITT , a Blacksmith by trade: he is about 25 years of age, rather of a yellowish complexion, and has an ill countenance: he stole and carried off with him a young BAY MARE , Saddle and Bridle; the mare has a remarkable knot on one of her jaws, which was occasioned by a hurt when a colt, and thus all round: He wore away an osnaburgh shirt, negro cotton jacket and pantaloon, with old shoes, and an old ragged hat: he also stole and carried away a pair of chain traces. Any person who will apprehend the said runaway, and secure him and the mare so that I get them again, shall receive the above reward, or a proportionate part for either. All matters of vessels and others are forewarned not to harbour or take him away at their peril, as I am determined to prosecute, in the utmost rigor of the law, any person who the fact can be fixed on.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, January 6.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appointment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE.
(Continued.)
(Mr. R. Griswold's Speech concluded.)
As to the proposed form of proceeding, if we examine precedents we shall find that it is not warranted by them. None mentioned compare with the case under consideration. The precedent in the case of Lord Bolingbroke, does not compare with this. In that case the House of Commons raised a secret committee to examine the negotiations made for a peace. The committee was not raised to impeach Lord Bolingbroke; but to investigate the negotiations of the ministry; and on the disclosure of facts which took place on that occasion the impeachment was grounded. Such also was the case in the instance of the Western Expedition. The house appointed a committee vested with general powers to enquire into the causes of its failure, without particular reference to the conduct of any person.
If we turn our attention to British precedents, we shall find that a committee has never been raised to investigate the official conduct of any person contemplated to be impeached. In the case of Hastings, Mr. Burke came forward and moved an impeachment directly. In all cases this course has been pursued in the British House of Commons. So far as we have had precedents in this country, a similar course has been pursued. In the instance of Governor Blount, the Executive transmitted documents to this House, which contained, as it was supposed, evidence of his guilt; they were referred to a committee to examine them, and also to determine whether it was proper to print them. The committee reported that, in their opinion, they contained evidence of his guilt, and he was impeached. In the case of Judge Pickering, the same course has been pursued. The Executive transmitted documents to the House which contained, as it is supposed, proofs of misconduct, and the house proceeded to an impeachment. These precedents confirm the principle of those drawn from the practice of the British House of Commons. What course is now proposed? Without any charge against the judges, without any man saying they are guilty of any misconduct, we are about to appoint a secret committee, to determine whether any charges can be made, and whether any proofs to support them can be found. Although I am willing that the conduct of these gentlemen shall be investigated—for I am sure they must desire it—and although I have no objection to impeach them, if gentlemen wish it and exhibit proper proofs on which to ground it, yet I cannot consent to pursue a course so improper as that now proposed. For this reason I am against the resolution, not because I am hostile to an investigation, but because I cannot consent to the appointment of a secret committee to search in the first instance for an accusation, and to look for proofs to justify it.
Mr. Findley rose to explain. He said it was not the object of the House, in their investigation of the causes of the failure of the western expedition, to make new arrangements, but to enquire into the conduct of certain officers who had directed it, viz. the Secretary of War, the commander in chief, and the commissary.
Mr. Nicholson said he happened not to be in the House yesterday at the moment when the resolution under consideration was introduced; and when he entered he found the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. R. Griswold) on the floor, who concluded his remarks by moving a postponement. Mr. N. did not think it correct to offer remarks upon the main question, but as the resolution itself was now under consideration, and the subject of no common nature, he could not think of passing a silent vote upon it.
When he rose to-day for a few moments on the motion to amend, by inserting the name of Judge Peters, he had then declared, and he now begged leave to repeat it, that whenever any member of the House should rise in his place, and state that any officer of the government had been guilty of official misconduct, he had no hesitation
in saying that he would consent to an enquiry. He cared not how exalted his station, or how far he was raised above the rest of the community; the very circumstance of his superior elevation, would prove an additional incitement. Such he said was the nature of the government, and so important the duty in this respect devolved upon the House of Representatives, that the conduct of the chief magistrate himself should, as far as his vote could effect it, be subjected to an enquiry, whenever it was demanded by a member. The greater responsibility, the more easy and more simple should be the means of investigation. Were he indeed the friend, personal or political, of the officer charged, and he believed that impeachment would be the result of enquiry, it was possible that his feelings as a man, might induce him to forget his duty as a representative, and urge him to resist the enquiry. But were he convinced of his innocence, he would do all in his power to promote it, in order that he might stand justified to the nation and to the world.
Upon the present occasion he begged that he might not be understood to say that the offence with which these judges were charged, was such as would warrant an impeachment. But while he meant not to commit himself, on a question of such high moment, he could not avoid expressing his astonishment, that the conduct stated should not only be defended upon the floor of the house, but entirely approved; that gentlemen should venture to declare that the court acted strictly in the line of their duty, in refusing to hear Counsel on a point of law which involved the guilt or the innocence of the prisoner. A man was charged with the highest offence against the government, and if guilty, was subject to the severest and most ignominious punishment recognized by our laws. High treason was the crime, and death the penalty. The constitution declared that treason against the United States should consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies giving them aid and comfort. The framers of the constitution intended to be as precise as possible in their definition of treason, they were anxious that no room should be left for doubt afterwards. They had seen to what an infinite variety of objects, the crime of treason had been extended in England, and wisely confined it here to the only two offences, which could be said to strike at the existence of government. (Mr. Nicholson's speech to be continued.)
Late Foreign Intelligence.
NEW YORK, May 11.
By the politeness of capt. Brown, and of passengers in the Juliana, London papers to the 28th March, are received at the office of the Morning Chronicle. When a few days out, the Juliana spoke the ship Hardware, which left Bristol for N. York, April 8th. At that time the blockading squadron before Brest had been blown off and had arrived in England. Nothing particular had occurred relative to the destiny of Moreau. The King of England had so far recovered as to place his signature to public bills as usual. On the 29th March the Juliana heard a very heavy firing off Bologne, arising it is presumed from a continuance of the bombardment.
The Juliana had started previously, but lost both anchors in the Downs in a gale & was obliged to put into Ramsgate.
The accounts brought by this arrival mention that the armaments of France appeared to be in a state of more than customary activity along the whole line of the French and Dutch coasts, particular movements had taken place at Havre, Bologne, and the Texel and intelligence had reached the admiralty announcing an uncommon degree of vigour among the French fleet at Brest. The force in the outer harbour of that port consisted of 14 ships of the line ready for sea, exclusive of frigates: in the inner harbour a vast number of transports, gun boats, and small craft of different descriptions.
A British squadron maintained a blockade off Rochefort with great vigilance, as a French division in that port consisting of 4 sail of the line, 3 frigates, cutters, &c. was kept ready for sea at a moments notice. It was understood that these vessels had nearly three thousand troops on board, and provisions for six months.
The British squadron off Bologne did not succeed as well as had been contemplated in blockading that port. On the 25th it was compelled by the violent gales to return to the Downs, previous to which (on the 23d) about one hundred gun boats came out of the harbor in one tide, with an apparent intention to engage. On the
24th, there came on a heavy gale, which occasioned much confusion among them, several got foul of each other, one run on shore, another was dismasted, a third lost her bowsprit, &c. Most of them made out to return, but 27 ran into the newly opened port of Vintereux and one was obliged to bear away for Calais. The amount of this attempt however served to shew that a greater number can get out in one tide than was calculated.
Letters from France were said to state that great dissatisfaction prevailed in the French armies and that an explosion was shortly expected. Nothing however appears to have transpired relative to any counter revolution.
On the 2d of March, Mr. Liston had his audience of leave at the court of Copenhagen, and was to depart on the 5th.
The expedition which was to block up the harbor of Boulogne by sinking vessels loaded with stone, having failed in that intention, an attempt was talked of, to shut up the harbor of Havre-de-Grace in that manner to increase the security of Jersey and Guernsey, but it was the opinion of intelligent men that this stone expedition would have little success any where.
In a London paper of the 27th March we find the following:
"On the 3d inst. Madame Bonaparte received an address, or Congratulation from all the wives of the public functionaries,—The Gazette de France remarks, that on the evening the crowd in the apartments of Madame Bonaparte was nearly as great as in those of Mad. Moreau, who was visible at the same house, to the ladies and gentlemen not connected with the public functionaries."
The emperor of Russia is said to have charged Mons. D'Onbrill, his charge d'affairs at Paris, to decline all answers to the demands of France, concerning the armaments Russia has been obliged to make for the protection of the liberties of Europe.
A Russian fleet in the Black Sea with a number of transports were stated to be preparing for sea, which was to stop three weeks at Constantinople, where the Russian Ambassador had made extensive contracts for supplies, and was then to proceed to the Archipelago and Mediterranean.
The court gazettee of St. Petersburg, had remarked that the arrival of a consul from the United States of America, proves that the commercial relations between Russia and the United States will be immediately established, and naturally acquire that importance which the wants and demands of the inhabitants of the new world must give them."
The fleet under Lord Nelson off Toulon consists, says the London Traveller of March 27, of the following ships of the line:
  "Victory, 100 {Lord Nelson   Capt. Murry   Canopus 80 Sutton   Donnegal 80 R. A. Campbell   Gibraltar 80 Sir R. Strachan   Kent 74 Ryves   Bekeisle 74 R. A. Bickerton   Excellent 74 Hargood   Renown 74 Sotheron   Superb 74 White   Triumph 74 Keats   Agincourt 64 {Sir R. Barlow, Bart.   Monmouth 64 Schombert   Hindostan 50 Hart   Brakel 50 Le Gros   Clarke. 
There are other ships in the Mediterranean not included in the list. We are to add also the frigates Seahorse, Medusa, Active, Amazon, and Diana, of 38 guns each, the Phebe, of 36 guns and the Juno of 32 guns. From such a powerful force, wielded by such a commander we may fairly anticipate the most glorious consequences."
OF MOREAU.
We find with much pleasure favorable intelligence in the following account, under date of Paris, March 5.
"Moreau's affair appears to take a favorable turn. They say there was but one letter from Pichegru found among his papers, written some years since from Bareuth, in which Moreau was requested to procure Pichegru's amnesty. The latter complained at the time of finding himself in narrow circumstances. The first draft of Moreau's answer lay with this letter. He freely declared his influence did not suffice to procure this amnesty. To assist him in his distress however, he remitted him 6,000 francs, assuring him, that as soon as he should be able to do anything for him, he would do it unasked."
"The Senator Barthelemy had nearly been implicated. Some months ago Pichegru had sent him his compliments by L'Abbe Gaultier. The latter prevailed on Barthelemy to give him an insignificant note to Pichegru, which said merely, 'I rejoice my dear Picard, (which was the name Pichegru had taken on escaping from Cayenne) you are well. I shall not forget the friend-'

which you have shown me in our mutual mis- ery. When people began to whisper of the conspiracy, Bonaparte received a letter from Bathurst, via Calais. Being assured that the po- wer must have knowledge of this letter, he went to the Consul Cambacérès with the letter opened, told him of the circumstance, and asked him the letter." It is stated with confidence, (via Holland) that Bonaparte being no longer apprehensive of his enemies has resolved to conduct the im- portant enterprise in person. From Rome it is stated that Lucien Bonaparte stayed there early in February, sometime after that he had visited Naples, and that you had been constantly passing between Paris and Rome, the head quarters of St. Cyr. It is understood that one part of his business was negotiation, in consequence of which the French army of near 40,000 men will receive a speedy reinforcement of 30,000 more. An expedition to Sardinia is expected to result.
PHILADELPHIA, May 14. The Hibernian, from Lisbon, came pass- ing. Mr. W. Consol of the United States at Lisbon, with dispatches from Mr. Pinkney, the American Minister at Madrid.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 16.
Mr. Snowden—Sir, I am one of those unfortunate men who have suffered much from the Militia Law, and as I am still afraid of the fine being le- vied on me, I hope you will state my case to the public, in hopes it may be a means of forwarding those measures which will pro- cure redress in future. When I was told I did not turn out, I should be liable to a fine of 5 dollars per day, I resolved not to incur it, as I was not able to pay so much, and I am too independent to look for favor or affection from any man. My labour principally confines me within doors, and not being used to be out for several hours together, exposed to a broiling sun, the two days attendance threw me into a fit of sickness, which confined me to my bed for several weeks, and kept me through the summer in so weak a state, that the Doc- tors told me if I went to muster it would kill me, as it had done somebody just be- fore, and that I should get excused if I went to a Court Martial to appeal. I went alone and waited till near sunset, and as no court was made I thought they would not fine me without further notice. How- ever I was told they made up a meeting af- ter, when the officers had left off work, and nobody was there they fined all who had not mustered. I am now expecting to be fined on by the man for my fine. I have nothing worth taking but a Cow which has early given me and my family a living al- most all last summer, and is now our prin- cipal support; as we feed her well out of gratitude she is very fat. I am sure all the money the man has to collect cannot be spent by the officers without eating, and as no beef comes to market my neighbours tell me the officers scouts have informed of my cow, and as nobody will buy but them- selves they are sure of her very cheap.— Do pray sir, state my case in your paper, and if I must be liable to such persecution again I will leave the District, and go to live at West-End or somewhere else. Your humble servant. JOHN CRISPIN.
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
The United States at peace with all the ci- vilized world.
"Twenty two years have elapsed since the close of our revolutionary contest.— During this period we have had serious differences with France, England and Spain and other unusual sources of embarrass- ment. We were considerably in debt to the government of France, and we were willingly indebted to the subjects of England. We had our boundaries to settle with Eng- land and Spain. Some of our citizens had strong attachments to France and others to England. The French revolution with the war it gave rise to, shook Europe to her centre, and drove from their strongest holds of neutrality all the powers of Europe with but an exception whose interest dictat- ed peace. Amidst this universal convulsi- on of the civilized world we have preserv- ed peace, we have paid off our debts we have multiplied our resources, improved the face of our country, doubled our popula- tion, extended our commerce beyond all precedent, and have in addition to all this not only preserved but improved our liber- ty." "Whence these mighty and astonishing effects? Can they arise from climate? Ev- en Montesqui, with the full force of his
predilection to a farcical theory, could not were he alive, find a reason for its appli- cation here. Does it arise from our supe- rior wisdom? We have to regret that in all the departments of science, other than political we are inferior to several Europe- an nations. Can it flow from peculiar vir- tues? Unfortunately we are not exempt from the vices of other communities. No. It is not to be traced to any extraordinary physical or moral propertie of citizens; but to the nature of their government; to their republican institutions to the respon- sibility of their rulers to the patri- otism which a free people cherishes; and to the progressive diffusion of knowledge which it spreads among the people.
"Philosophy has repeated the declara- tion that war is the greatest scourge of hu- manity; and that it is the interest of eve- ry people to remain at peace. That this is their interest no one doubts. But how has this interest been protected, by the vice-gerents of God, as kings are impi- ously called? Their pride, ambition and folly have set at naught the happiness of the nations they ruled, and heedlessly dri- ven them to arms in support of every fri- volous pretension, however unbounded.— During the period of peace with which we have been blessed, England has been en- gaged in war twelve years; France as ma- ny; Spain about eight years; every other European power has been engaged in one or more wars, and one sovereign state has been totally extinguished."
"Ought we not then fellow-citizens, to exult in our destiny, which scatters roses under our feet and points us to true glory, while the nations of the old world are in- volved in scenes of desolation and havoc? Ought we not to cherish a warm devotion to the principles and the institutions of li- berty? Ought we not to feel grateful to the founders of our republic; to those illus- trious men, who had the wisdom to per- ceive the superiority of the simple forms of a republic to the pageantry of royalty, and who had the heroism to risk their lives in its defence."
REMARKS ON THE ABOVE.
We would ask to whom we are to attri- bute the 'twenty-two years' of peace, pros- perity and happiness above described? To whose wisdom, vigilance and prudence are we indebted, for preserving us from the horrors of the 'French revolution, and the war it gave rise to?' Not to Jefferson, for he has only been President for a little more than three years. Not to the democrats, for they left no means unessayed to involve us in a war with Great-Britain, and ex- hausted language in reproach and indigna- tion for Washington's proclamation of neu- trality, and for the treaty which closed our differences with England. Behold then this jack daw with borrowed plumes.
"We were considerably in debt to the government of France, and we were deep- ly indebted to the subjects of England. We had our boundaries to settle with Eng- land and Spain."
And yet the administration, which ef- fected these objects has been loaded with abuse, has been stigmatized as profligate, abandoned and extravagant beyond meas- ure. The financial arrangements which commenced the payment of our public debts, and provided for an extinguishment of them within a few years, has called forth the most bitter reproaches of the democrats and are still the objects of execration. We remember with horror the diabolical means that were made use of to poison the public mind, and to rouse the popular passions against that very treaty which settled our differences with Great Britain, which defin- ed our boundaries, and provided compen- sation to our merchants. The passionate declamations of that day are still sounding in our ears. We are now called upon to be 'grateful' for these blessings. Whilst the authors of this unparalleled prosperity and happiness are covered with unjust reproaches, whilst they are pursued to their private retirements nay to their very graves, and even their ashes are raked up, to make them marks, or popular rage and indigna- tion, whilst numbered falsehoods are dai- ly manufactured to keep up this feverish state of the public mind, and to direct its indignations against its best benefac- tors—yes, in the very centre of these scandalous proceedings, we are called upon to be 'grateful' to whom—to the very men, thus stigmatized and abused. There is a hardy impudence in the conduct of democracy which almost defies and con- founds. Its motions are so irregular, or so far beyond all ordinary rules of calcula- tion, that we are either lost in astonish- ment, or think the error too obvious for refutation, or too monstrous for belief.— But it is to these very wild and eccentric movements, that it in a great measure owes
its success. Having seized the prize, having gained the object of their ambition, they would now lull the billows they have raised, and enjoy their ill-gotten power in peace and security. But let them beware —That public voice which they have so long governed and abused, will one day be heard in thunder, and rouse them from their slumbers. They may then exclaim, 'Shake not thy gory locks at me.' It is easy to take life, but who can restore it? It is easy to excite the public passions, but who can controul or allay them?

Captain Hodge, arrived at Newbury- port from Cape-Francois, states that a week before he sailed from the Cape, a distur- bance happened between Christophe, and the captain of an English frigate. The lieutenant of the frigate, with several of her men, attempted one night, to take off a number of the French inhabitants. —The blacks were alarmed, assembled in great numbers, and, with Christophe at their head, took from the lieutenant his side arms. The next morning they were sent along side, but the captain of the frigate refused to see them, and would nei- ther suffer the boat to be along side the fri- gate nor to go ashore. A flag of truce was then sent ashore demanding satisfaction; in the mean time the frigate got springs on her cables, and warped up abreast the city, with signals of hostility flying, and in read- iness to fire on the city if necessary. The English captain, however, received no sa- tisfaction, and in 3 days was ordered from the place.
The French people at the Cape are in a most distressing situation, expecting eve- ry moment a general massacre; as it was known that Christophe had received orders from governor Dessalines to that purpose. None of them are suffered to leave the Is- land, and American vessels are strictly searched both before sailing and by the barges outside. A Danish schooner which sailed from the Cape for St. Thomas was overhauled by a brigand barge, and French passengers found on board. She was im- mediately carried into a small port to lee- ward of the Cape, and the captain, crew, and every soul on board shot. The sch'r was afterwards brought up to the Cape.— The whites are daily missing, supposed to be secretly murdered, and their property immediately confiscated and sold at aucti- on. No age or sex is spared from the out- rage and inhumanity of the blacks, who boast of their mild treatment when compar- ed with the cruelties which they have suf- fered from Frenchmen. Men, women and children are held in the most abject slavery, and daily expire from hardship and fatigue. They are now obliged to carry cannon balls to a fort building in the moun- tains about 15 miles back, and are not ev- en permitted to hire it done for them.— Great numbers drop down with the fatigue, and die on the road.
The few Americans who arrive at the Cape are obliged to be extremely circum- spection. For want of proper regulations, and from the ignorance and jealousy of the blacks, they are subjected to much hazard and inconvenience. Christophe will take what proportion of the American cargoes he pleases at his own price and pay in cof- fee at his own price. One day he will per- mit certain goods to be taken on board and the next orders them to be landed again, & no dependence can be placed in any trade with them. The slightest transgression of their rules is punished very severely. An American supercargo was kept 3 days in a dungeon for going on shore after dark.— In general the Americans, notwithstanding the professions of the blacks, are treat- ed extremely ill. The arrestes and pro- clamations of Dessalines and Christophe are mere flummery and seldom or never put in execution.
(Newburyport Herald.)
The mad dog rage for hunting down Federal Judges which prevails at present in America, will, if long continued or successful, make this country as odious and contemptible in the eyes of the rest of the world as the witchcraft delusion in times of yore made the states of New England ridiculous. The latter had its rise in error and gross superstition. The former has its root in political machination. In the latter, the perpe- trators of to-day were the sufferers of to-morrow. In the former, the perpetration and the gain are all on one side: the suffering wholly on the o- ther. Human nature received no degradation but that of blind fanaticism and madness from the latter. From the former they receive all the in- famy which deliberate injustice and persecu- tion, shamelessly and inexcusably acted upon by a people, can affix on a nation, or on the common charac- ter of man itself.
The fashion now have brought things to that pass that they make use of the state Leg-islatures as armies do their pioneers, to cut down every
impediment that lies in their way to supreme pow- er, and to raze to the ground every rampart which the wisdom and virtue of the men who founded the freedom of this country, and formed the Federal Constitution, had erected to secure the people from the iron hand of oppression, and the Constitution from the assaults of aristocratic or monarchic despotism on one hand, and on the other from the ruthless fangs and fury of demo- cratic tyrants, and the wiles of crafty unprin- cipled demagogues, maddening and then driving into their toils the unthinking multitude.
If something is not done, and that soon too, to stop this furious torrent of political fraud, cutting its way through the land by means of private wrong and injustice, the time is not long that we shall have liberty to speak or to write; we will therefore make use of the liberty while it exists. The great code of our freedom and rights, which we once thought written in too strong a hand to be erased, will soon be oblite- rated as effectually as it is now in France. Free- dom will fly, and "she was ours" will be all Americans will have to say of her. For either God and Nature have ordained wrong, or this is truth, that where Justice is not, Freedom can- not be.
For this reason it is the duty of every man to lift his might against injustice, in whatever shape it may appear, or in whatever disguise he may detect it. On the political writer and public journalist, it is peculiarly incumbent to step forward and stand in the breach, while life or breath is left to him. No terms of reproach can be too bitter, no asperity too harsh or cutting, no indignation too warm, no resentment too strong, for the perpetrators of such self evident wickedness. There are many, we know there are, we every day hear them, who say, "why it is true, we own it, it is abominable—but there is no fear of America, she will be free in spite of them." We are always sorry to hear this, because it is by such false, ill judged secu- rity, nations are lost. They are mistaken.— "France wills to be free," was the gacconade of every Frenchman in 1792—3. The pious priests of democracy, Robespierre, Mar- Tallien, Danton, &c. gave out the verse, and the multi- tude sung, or brayed, or screamed the satan- ic psalm all over France. What are they to day? What may we be ten or a doz n years hence? We do not want wicked demagogues any more than France did, nor do we want a cullible mul- titude, as Pennsylvania hews. Neither do we want ambitious, restless foreigners. Switzerland as well as Corsica, may vomit forth a jacobin, and despotic usurper. This business of the im- peachments, therefore, must be kept alive, and a full and fair exposure of it repeated, and echoed, and repeated over and over again, till the public shall understand it, or deserve their fate, by pur- posely shutting their eyes and ears against the truth, and running willfully blind and deaf into the gulph of political destruction. The letter and memorial of judge Chase, if perfectly and clearly understood, would speak home to the heart and understanding of any man. It shall be our task to exhibit them and the whole case to view, in every shape into which industry can mould, or language, such as ours, present them.

REANIMATION.
WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found : There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave having used every remedy recommended as specific in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs, and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect; we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horse back, and the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kill early in April to stop until we go to Ball's-Town Springs: from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine

CONSISTING OF— Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills,
For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefacent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the lands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserving notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, to be confident from long and extensive experience, that believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation, it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the ares sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
THE genuine Scotch Itch Ointment. The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, to many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.

Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water. A foreign remedy for all diseases of the eyes; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and films it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.

CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.

Dr. BARDWELL'S Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches. THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.

SPRING PHYSIC. DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.

Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring, and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Where also may be had,
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803. We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.

Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life. Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma. Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholick and Di sentery.
Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life.
Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that the maladies abovenamed, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weariness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend it as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
