In our paper of the 4th of October, we have already detailed the causes and the calamities of the first insurrection at Algiers on the 29th June. The Paris Moniteur of the 2d September, contains the same miserable record of carnage and rapine down to the 27th July. It gives the most afflicting picture of the murder and the robbery of the unfortunate Jews. "The general massacre of the Jews, says that paper, save only the women and children, was principally conducted by the soldiers. They were assisted by the barbarous populace of the city; they were animated by the joyous shouts of the women, more hideous than the furies, who were scattered over the terraces and the streets. Fortunately it was Saturday, the holiday of the Jews, when a very small number was to be seen in the streets. On many occasions however the soldiers broke into their houses, but the riches which offered themselves to their view, were the saviours of the Hebrew tribe; they abandoned the carnage to give themselves up to pillage." The Moniteur adds that the assassin of Busnah after he had received the chaplet of pardon, and obtained permission to leave the country, had taken refuge in the English pavilion, and that a few days after he was dispatched by the English consul to Gibraltar and some said to London. Every thing in fact announced the dissolution of order, the reign of an infuriated soldiery, the massacre of the Turks by the Moors, and the downfall of the dey. The intelligence which is now brought by gen. Eaton, confirms these forebodings and announces the catastrophe of the insurrection. The description which Mr. Eaton gave of the causes and consequences of this tragical event, was uncommonly bold, appropriate and picturesque.
The dialogue between the captain and the Mufti was given in the highest style of the drama. His technical accuracy, is enough for us to admire, but we shall scarcely presume to imitate. He said:
That the dey had rendered himself unpopular at Algiers, by the peace and feebleness of his administration. His cruisers were idle in the port; the country was disturbed by the dissention of a fanatic who had visited Mecca; and the city was deprived of its customary supplies. The soldiers at length broke out into open rebellion, and placed at their head a celebrated captain of Algiers, who had distinguished himself by the capture of a Portuguese ship. They remonstrated with the dey, and commanded him to leave the throne. To leave the throne in that country is the same as losing his head. The dey expostulated and resisted. But the soldiers were obstinate, and the unfortunate dey was forced to yield to their importunity. "I care nothing (said he, addressing himself to the insurgents in the hall of audience) about the destiny which awaits me. I shall die contented. It is what many a younger and better man than myself has done before me. I ought, in fact to rejoice that I have lived to see my present length of days. But I feel for my family; my children." You know, cried they, into whose hands they will fall." The dey dismounted from his throne, and attended by his prime minister, approached the door of the hall, when they were immediately cut to pieces. The regency was now offered to the captain; but he prudently refused the dangerous honor. He told them that he was not at all versed in the foreign relations of Algiers; nor did he know enough of the civil law to direct the administration of justice: the present disturbances had arisen partly from religion, and it was but proper the reins of government should be put into the hands of the mufti. "As for my part, said the wary mufti to the messenger who invited him to the throne, my thoughts are fixed upon another world. It is my office to persuade and instruct, but not to command the people. But the soldiers were once more obstinate in their resolution, and the Mufti was conducted to the palace of the dey. "Is it not much more becoming you, said the elected dey to the captain of the insurrection, to direct the affairs of the government? You have an ARM." True, said the captain, but you have a HEAD. The head is more powerful than the arm; because it directs it." At length this curious and singular contention was put an end to by a compromise, which attached them both to the administration. The mufti was henceforth to be the dey, and the captain was to be placed at the head of the army. It is the opinion of general Eaton, that this important revolution will render the regency of Algiers more moderate in its administration. All the deys have been hitherto taken from the soldiers, and not from the priests. It is no doubt a fact universally admitted,
that all superstitious establishments, whilst they debase the spirit, have often contributed to soften the ferocity of their votaries.
With respect to our relations with Spain general Eaton is unable to give us any information.
It is believed in the best informed circles of Gibraltar, that a war on the continent was inevitable.
Whilst at Gibraltar he had curiosity to review the Spanish encampment in the neighborhood, with an excellent spy glass. They appeared to him more like flying camps than regular encampments. They had no heavy artillery and it seemed to be a romantic conjecture, that they had any design of attacking Gibraltar.
Lord Nelson was said to have arrived before Cadiz to reinforce the blockading squadron under Collingwood and Calder.
A squadron was fitting out at Malta, supposed by some to be destined to Egypt, & by others to Sicily. It was his own opinion that the next intelligence which should arrive from that quarter of the Mediterranean would announce the invasion of Sicily.
A squadron of 160 British transports conveyed by fifteen men of war was reported to have left Madeira about the 6th or 8th October. They had taken an easterly course: their destination completely unknown. Some supposed they were bound to the West Indies, and others to the cape of Good Hope. If we are not mistaken General Eaton observed that the Raisonable, whose crew is so highly spoken of in the following letter, was one of the convoy:
SIR, ALLOW me as consul of the United States of America in this island, to have the honor of assuring you and the officers of his Britannic majesty's ship Raisonable of the high sense entertained by me of their exertions on the night of the 8th inst in saving at the eminent hazard of their lives the ship Octavia of New York with her valuable cargo from being destroyed by the flames, which but for their prompt, zealous and humane assistance must inevitably have been the case.
Impressed with these sentiments, Sir, I will not fail conveying them by the earliest means in my power to the President of the United States, and to the parties concerned, as well as every particular of a service so truly honorable and meritorious.
Notwithstanding my earliest desire to compensate in some measure, the exertion of the seamen belonging to his Britannic majesty's ship, still as the proceeds of the sales are held in the hands of the officers of the custom-house; betwixt whom, and the civil judge there has arose a dispute with respect to the right of the sale, prevents my touching any part of the property until the decision is given, or powers forwarded by the underwriters to whom I shall certainly represent the right of compensation adequate to the service rendered.
Permit me to have the honor of subscribing myself with every sentiment of consideration and respect,
Your most obedient humble servant, M. L.
JAMES BRAWLY, Esq. Commander of his Britannic Majesty's ship Raisonable.
Turchet Roads, September 23d, 1805.
SIR, COPY. I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of your letter, communicating to myself and the officers of his Majesty's ship Raisonable, under my command, your thanks for the assistance we were so fortunate as to afford the ship Octavia, of New York when on fire on the night of the 8th inst.
I beg leave in my own name, and for the officers of the Raisonable, to express our sense of the very handsome manner in which you have conveyed your sentiments on the occasion, and to assure you that we feel every satisfaction in the success of our endeavors, to preserve a ship bearing the flag of the United States of America.
I request, Sir, that you will accept an assurance of the consideration, with which I remain,
Sir, Your very ob't. humble serv't, (Signed)
JAMES RAWLEY. MARSIN LAMAR, Esquire, Consul of the U. States of America, &c. &c.
The following copy of a sentence of the condemnation is also from the hands of Gen. Eaton.
Sir Wm. Scott pronounced nearly the following judgment on the Rovere, taken off Dunkirk, by the Griffin cutter, from America to Antwerp. "The cargo of
this ship is colonial produce from Martinique, and although landed in America, without doubt belonging to some subject of that Nation, and duties were paid thereon, as on articles imported into that country: also, afterwards reshipped from thence to the port of a Belligerent power in Europe. I shall hold the continuity of the original shipment, to be so fully preserved that the mere chicane of the neutral shall not avail in saving him from the sentence of confiscation on ship and cargo."

NORFOLK, Nov. 12.
Latest from Europe.
Captain Smith of the ship Eliza, in 38 days from Bordeaux, has favored us with a regular file of Paris papers to the 30th of September, and of Bordeaux to the 5th of October. The contents of these papers we find unusually interesting, and regret that we have not time to present our readers with more copious translations. Such as we could prepare will be found under the proper heads. The general outline of the intelligence, may be comprised in the following summary, which our friends will please to accept until we can prepare further details.
The French government has published the note of the Austrian government reciting all the causes of discontent on the part of the latter government. This very important state paper, together with the comment, we shall give in our next; its great length rendering it impossible to be prepared for this day's paper. We shall not attempt to anticipate our readers by a sketch of this note, but solicit their patience until our next. To this note is annexed the note of the Russian ambassador at Vienna, which declares that the emperor of Russia, "is anxious to renew the negotiations for peace, when a similar disposition shall be manifested by the French government, but that in the meantime two Russian armies of 50,000 each are to advance through Galicia towards the Danube."
War, had not been declared, nor hostilities been commenced, unless the seizure of the territory of the Elector of Bavaria by the Emperor of Austria, is to be regarded as such. This event took place about the middle of September, of which some details will be found in the translations for our paper of this day. As the elector of Bavaria is guaranteed in his dominions by France, we cannot see that hostilities can be avoided, any longer, than the two armies are removed from each other.
Of the armies; their movements will be found in the succeeding columns. The French army it will be seen had crossed the Rhine in three places, and is commanded by the Emperor Bonaparte in person, who it will be observed had arrived at Strasbourg. The Austrian army had been prompt in entering Bavaria, and was animated by the presence of the emperor of Austria. The Russian army in two divisions were advancing through Galicia, and were expected to form a junction with the Austrian army in Germany, sometime in October. The Austrian army in Italy is commanded by the archduke Charles, and that of the French by Massena.
Diplomatic relations, do not appear to be entirely broken off between France and Austria, as by the latest accounts it will be seen that the French ambassador was still at Vienna, and we do not perceive after a careful examination, that the Austrian minister had quitted Paris.
Of peace—some efforts were still making by the king of Prussia, for its preservation, but it was thought without any prospect of success. This cautious government had determined to maintain its neutrality, notwithstanding there are some vague articles inserted in the French and Austrian journals, which indicate a disposition in Prussia, to adopt a different conduct. These Journalists appear to offer their wishes for facts; we do not perceive any thing that induces us to suppose that Prussia will become a party in the war.
The Helvetic Republic, have received assurances from Austria, that her neutrality will be respected.
Of Sweden & Denmark we do not perceive any thing very remarkable, except that the former power is said to have entered into a treaty of subsidy with Great Britain and Russia, by which Sweden and Russia are to furnish each 24,000 land forces. The king of Prussia has earnestly invited the king of Denmark; to unite
with Saxony and Hesse, in measures to maintain their neutrality.
A Russian fleet was daily expected in Copenhagen Roads, but was not arrived on the 15th of September. In this fleet were a number of transports with troops; no doubt existed that this fleet, would soon arrive, as twenty pilots from Copenhagen and Elsinore, had been hired at a great expense to conduct it.
On every side, the most active preparations for war were making, particularly in France. If a judgement is to be formed from the papers we have perused, nothing can surpass the animation of the councils, the people, and the armies of France.
We shall detain our readers a little longer, but refer them to the articles we have been able to prepare for to-day, and craving their indulgence for further details, until our next.
TRANSLATIONS.
From French papers received at the office of the Public Ledger, by the ship Eliza, Capt. Smith, in 38 days from Bordeaux.
PARIS, September 26.
His excellency the minister for foreign affairs has left Paris to repair to Strasburg for the purpose of being near the Emperor.
The Tribunate held a public sitting to day. Mr. Freville on the conclusion of a report of the committee, to which a communication had been referred of the government, relative to the invasion of Bavaria by the Austrian armies, proposed to decree that an address should be presented to his majesty the Emperor and King to avow the devotion of the nation to its chief, of its gratitude towards him for all the personal sacrifices he has made for the maintenance of peace &c. This proposition was unanimously adopted. Mr. Jaubert on this occasion made a speech, from which we make the following extracts: The speaker after having demonstrated that general Bonaparte, in the midst of his greatest victories, had surpassed in moderation the most illustrious conquerors, that called afterwards to the imperial throne; he had never ceased to manifest the same sentiments, he then took a view of the conduct of Austria with her recent provocations. He discovered the cause of them, first in the perfidy of the Cabinet of London which to secure to itself the exclusive dominion of the seas, has succeeded in forming a new coalition, secondly, in the hereditary hatred of Austria against France, in the fear in which she herself holds Russia, in the absurd idea of the fragments of a throne, which she thinks ready to fall, and in the never ceasing wish of reuniting Bavaria to her states. But said he, our confidence cannot be misplaced. Does history cite a military force equal to that which is to day both our defence and our boast; I speak only of the number of our troops; it is immense—What a work is that of our army! What soldiers! What Captains! They will only have to recognize the countries in which they were victorious—The soul becomes elevated, the heart affected when we view that great man tearing himself from the repose which he has earned by his victories and numerous benefactions, to fly to the defence of the Empire, animating by his presence those brave thousands of whom a single look of his renders capable of any prodigy. In the interior, every one will do his duty. Who is ignorant, that this is the reason why the country is still active; No gentlemen, the result cannot be doubtful, peace will be restored to the world, the liberty of navigating the seas will be complete, Europe will repose on an immovable basis, Russia will remain near the pole, and Austria who violates the peace, to become an accomplice in the piracies of the cabinet of London, may find her fate in the strong expressions of the Golden Bell—"Omne regnum in se ipsum divisum desolabitur num principes ejus facti sunt socii furum."
The following observations are translated from a Paris paper of the 28th September. Those who know the state of the press in France, will consider these remarks if not proceeding from the government, as not offensive.
September 23.
The French government, has now published all the documents, relative to the negotiations with the Austrian cabinet, and which have terminated so unfortunately. It corresponds with the loyalty of his majesty the emperor Napoleon, to publish the complaints of his enemies, with the answers which he has caused to be made to those complaints; this procedure could only be displeasing to those who are interested in concealing the first causes of a war which is about to desolate Europe, such was his frank and noble conduct when the

of Amiens was violated. The En- glish government has been desirous of bu- ring in eternal oblivion, the motives which induced this violation of the faith of trea- ties, and disregard of the cause of human ty- anny. However may be the result of this war, the kindling of it, will be inscribed in the pages of his- toric characters in the pages of his-
is fortunate that doubts, now no longer exist, as to the first causes which have pro- duced this new coalition. He who can ad- vance arguments (which deserve no answer) in support of measures, feels no difficulty in exposing his motives; but the French people, will see in those arguments designs, calculated to sully their glory, and to de- stroy their national security and independ- ence.
Those documents prove to demonstra- tion, the great point which we are about to discuss. The unfounded complaints of Austria & Russia, originate from a much more im- portant source than the changes which have been produced in Italy. From the com- mencement of the present war, those two powers appear to have taken an interest in the war, not for the purpose of mediating but of associating themselves with Eng- land. Nothing but the excessive modera- tion of the emperor Napoleon, could have submitted to such open provocations.
A glance at the map of Europe will be sufficient to satisfy any one, that the situa- tion of the European powers, relative to each other, has experienced considerable changes, since the peace of Luneville, more particularly since the violation of the treaty of Amiens. During a war which France was forced into, for the common good of Europe, Austria and Russia, have (availing themselves of the occasion) con- tinued to augment and extend their influ- ence, while France in this respect has car- ried her spirit of moderation to excess.— The French people might have cause to com- plain of the confidence reposed in Austria & Russia, by the emperor Napoleon, if they were not justified in relying on his courage to avenge this scandalous abuse of his ge- nerous moderation.
At the time when the treaty of Amiens was broken, the emperor of Russia was very far from assuming the influence, which he now exercises with such insupportable arrogance, over the deliberations of the di- an. He did not insist upon the necessity of the Porte's admitting a Russian garri- son into the Ottoman provinces, nor of dic- tating its diplomatic notes, and of giving allies or enemies at pleasure. He did not then order his fleets and armies to pass under the ramparts of the seraglio. The pro- tection granted to the Seven Islands, which was designed simply as an honorable guar- antee of their independence, has been an instrument of acquiring absolute dominion. These isles have become a depot for arms, soldiers and ammunition. From this mili- tary position his Russian majesty can carry war, at the first signal, into the heart of the south of Europe, into Egypt, or the Mo- rea. The Mediterranean has become sub- jected to his absolute rule. This assump- tion on the part of Russia, long since ef- fected, is certainly of much more import- ance, in relation to the other powers of Eu- rope, than can possibly be, a few formal changes in Italy, or the voluntary annexa- tion of a small province,* which in fact, adds nothing to the continental strength of France.
In respect to Austria, the emperor Na- poleon, has no less cause to complain of the violation of many of the articles of the treaty of Luneville, and of successive u- surpations on the rights of the German princes, and more particularly on those of the elector of Bavaria. These wrongs are sufficiently developed and substantiated in the official documents, and render any fur- ther illustration unnecessary.
The most striking of these circumstanc- es, which present themselves and subserve the cause and justification of France, is the evidence which they furnish of the hostility of Austria and Russia, by great and conti- nued preparations for war, before one com- menced was made to, or against France.— These warlike preparations have been con- tinued, notwithstanding that the emperor Napoleon in answer to the complaints of Russia and Austria, has stated that he is ready to separate the crowns of France and Italy, the moment the troops should be withdrawn from the frontiers, and assur- ances are given of pacific intentions. In the evidence of these facts, it could be observed that these hostile determinations of the coalesced powers, were openly a- vowed in the British parliament, long be- fore the existence of the wrongs alledged,
for which they are the pretext. Above all it must be remarked, that the activity of the emperor Napoleon, in prosecuting the na- val war, the great expense which he has in- curred in the formation of a new marine, the immense armament which he had des- tined for the glorious expedition against England, leaving his frontiers on the side of Italy and Germany, without soldiers, arms or magazines, prove his aversion to war, and that relying on the honor of Rus- sia and Austria, he was intent only upon the prosecution of an enterprise, in the success of which the whole continent was deeply interested.

The English papers just arrived in Paris are barren of information: they contain nothing positive upon opening of parliament that great council of the nation will assemble, however when new subsidies are to be voted for the coalition, which cannot fail of soon being in need of them. As this war is made only for the benefit of the English government, they must dispose themselves to defray it largely. In the 1st war of the revolution, they gave subsidies only as their contingent in the common cause; at this time the pecuniary sue- cours are unlimited; all the expenses are at their charge.—The two emperors of Germany and Russia are themselves only the vassals of the monarch of India. Thus every thing induces us to believe that his Britannic majesty will soon call his faith- ful commons together. The pay of the Russian army must perhaps be supplied be- fore they reach their destination; and in this interval the emperor Napoleon may furnish a proper text to the orators of the opposition who wish to hold forth upon the advantages and utility of this new coali- tion.
For this long time past nothing has been talked of but the immense preparations of Russia and Austria. Newspapers are dai- ly filled with the details of the march of the troops, they carefully describe their composition, their progress, the place they stop at to-day, those they will arrive at next week &c. In France less is said of the movements of the French armies: indeed they arrive before people have time to speak of them. It is a thing worthy of remark and which already gives a percep- tion of the fate of the coalition, and the is- sue of the contest, that the two powers who meditated the war with so much precau- tion should be in some measure prevented, and taken unawares by the one who wish- ed for peace. It is now upwards of fifteen months since the emperor Alexander put his troops upon the footing of war and began to transport an army into the Mediterrane- an.—For this year past the emperor of Germany has been making secret dispositi- ons, getting arms manufactured, and raising men:—he has been storing up immense quantities of corn and other provisions at the risk of creating a scarcity among his subjects and of occasioning popular com- motions even in his very capital. It was discovered some months since that he made numbers of soldiers file off in the dead of the night, under the guise of tra- vellers, by cross roads to assemble upon the frontiers. And yet after so much care, precaution & preparation, it is probable the French army got together in haste, with- out either magazines or military stores up- on the spot, will meet with no Austrian ar- my on the borders of the Rhine, capable of withstanding it, and the Russian army will perhaps only arrive in time to witness the disasters of those whom blindness calls their allies, but whom good politicians will call their enemies. It is another glorious spec- tacle, to behold energy all of a sudden im- pressed upon the French people, to see the re-organization of the national guards, the rise of stocks at the very moment when the departure of court, the generals and so many distinguished personages must have carried away a considerable quantity of specie from the capital.—This eminently proves that France has lost nothing of her national vigour. She will know how to par- ry the blows that her enemies were ready to strike at her, & she coolly waits the ex- peditions headed by such commanders as the d the dukes of York and Cambridge; whom Homer would so justly have stiled light- footed.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25.
Congress is soon to meet and several circum- stances induce us to think that it will be a warm and interesting session. If Randolph and Nichol- son are not convinced that democracy is becom- ing unpopular in the United States, their respec- tive motions, one to hamper the judiciary still further, and the other, to render the senate sub- servient to every capricious vibration of the po- pular will, must come into early disposition by af- firmment. Should this struggle ensue, we shall soon ascertain whether what remains of the fede- ral constitution is yet a little to be preserved, or the whole to be abandoned as an unsuccessful ex- periment. The whole country will await, with undoubtable solicitude, the decision of such an important question.
It is likewise to be presumed that the result of those explanations, which the President forwarded to Spain, with the most sanguine assurance of their being satisfactory, will come before the legislative body. Our relations with Spain must command an early and a serious attention. Caring about re- spectability abroad and tranquility at home will not now answer—the trick is stale—it is too ge- nerally understood, and the disgraced situation of our country too evident for such bullying and stu- pifying opiates to have any effect. Mr. Jeffer- son must resolve to defend our trade, or fairly avow his policy, that it must be abandoned.— Algeciras and Havanna are the Dry Docks of our commerce. Our merchants are alarmed from Maine to Georgia, and their sufferings are still treated with contempt, the distressing consequenc- es will shortly extend, even to the cottage door. Mr. Jefferson is undoubtedly filled with anxiety, for the sad denouement of his temporizing system is fast approaching.
Our concerns with Great Britain must afford another serious topic of legislative investigation. A "non intercourse bill" that distracted and de- fraughted us of our democracy must obtain, or another "d—d British treaty" must by some means be accomplished—or fight
If it can be determined, during the approach- ing session of Congress, where the land lies, for which we have engaged to pay fifteen millions of dollars, and what are its limits, we hope for the honour of the country it will be done. The inde- finite term of the existing stipulations respecting that territory, carry strong evidence that our go- vernment are either shapers or dupes—that they intend to encroach, or have not provided for the designation of our own.
Among the subjects of Congressional delibera- tion, we presume the claims of the Georgia land purchasers must again present themselves for con- sideration. The extensive losses which must be sustained by a large number of individuals, and which would involve many hundreds in total ruin, if these claims are not adjusted, ought to en- gage the feelings of the legislature. But the distress which threatens individuals is not the on- ly point of interest. Our national character is put in the balance. Justice is demanded at its fi- nal source. Public attention has been roused throughout the country, and if the personal ma- lignity of a few domineering, but headed men, can triumph over the sacred obligations of right, such a flagrant breach of confidence will be as disgraceful as notorious.

Extract of a letter from captain Peterson, of the ship Phoenix, to his owners in Philadelphia, dated Gibraltar, September 12.
"Proceeding on my voyage unmolested, and with pleasant prospects of a short passage, when at 4 o'clock P. M. on the 9th instant, off Cape Spartel, three leagues SSW. was brought to and boarded by the British frigate Naiad, captain Dundas, and after a very scrupulous examination of all my papers, captain Dundas said that he was under the disagreeable necessity (by a late or- der in Council) to send me to Gibraltar for ad- judication; as part of my cargo consisted of the produce of French colonies, and bound as it were to a French port; finally, a lieutenant, four seamen, and two marines armed, were sent on board with me, and took possession of the Phoe- nix, and made sail for Gibraltar; during the 10th and 11th inst. the winds blew with excess- ive force from the eastward, until about noon of the latter, when I was off that famous nest of privateers, Tangier, we were attacked by a Spa- nish gun boat. Previous to the boarding, the lieutenant, Montgomery, gave the vessel up to me and we managed matters so well, that the officers and men appeared to be Americans, that we had picked up at sea. After the Spanish he- roes boarded the Phoenix, they behaved with much impropriety, that I cannot express it with- out a shudder; my men were driven about the deck with cutlass, and I was attacked by six of the Bravadoes, without any other loss than my hat, after which I brought them to their sense. It was nothing to my prejudice that I could speak to them in their own language; to my remonstrance and other circumstances, I at- tribute my speedy relief. At about 4 o'clock the same afternoon, they anchored the ship at Tarriffa, under all sail, which caused the cable to break, and the anchor so much damaged, that it is not fit for use. On the 11th inst. at eight o'clock, A. M. all my ship's papers, invoices &c. &c. were taken ashore to be examined; & at two o'clock P. M. to my great surprise and satisfaction, all my papers were returned to me, without any other damage than a good sleeping in
vinegar, with liberty to proceed on my voyage. at about half past two o'clock P. M. got my ship under way to proceed on my voyage, but as I again became subject to the British. It must be said much to the honor, of lieutenant Montgomery and captain Dundas, that the Phoenix is per- fectly free in this bay, and will sail immediately for Leghorn, for this singular service I have rendered lieutenant Montgomery and his men, an as- surance of captain Dundas, and every other protec- tion wherever they should meet us. I am under a quarantine of seven days and the necessity of my proceeding on my voyage immediately when- ever I can get an anchor off, renders it impossi- ble to make any regular protests, hoping that I shall in future meet clear of any more difficulties. Thus far I have extricated myself pretty well."
Extract of a letter from New York, dated No- vember 20.
"One of the officers belonging to the Grey- hound, of this port captured, has reached home, he says that the ship Maria, Hughes, of Phila- delphia, had arrived late at St. Marks, from the Cape; that the Mount Vernon, White, had arrived at Cape Francois, but Mr. Ridg, find- ing on going ashore, that he would not be al- lowed to transact his own business, but on the contrary for his affairs in the hands of the Indigenes, had returned on board and made off for the Bight."

Extract of a letter from a friend, to one of the editors of the Independent, dated Nassau-Hall, (Princeton College) Sept. 29, 1805.
"The faculty of this college have lately ex- pended an immense sum of money in purchasing natural curiosities, for the study of Natural His- tory. This acquisition gives a decided superior- ity to this college over any other in the United States. Dr. Maclean, the professor of Natural Philosophy, &c. sometime ago related to our class several late improvements in art and science. None at present occur of more importance than an invention of a certain gentleman of Bruns- wick, in this state. The object of his contri- vance is to diminish the friction of wheeled carri- ages. To effect this, he made the arm of the axle, instead of resting on the concave surface of the box, to rest on the convex surface of well polished steel or iron cylinders, which were placed all around the inside of the box, and are moveable about their axes respectively."
"This contrivance by making the arm rest upon very small points, necessarily diminishes the friction; not because the points of contact are small, but because these points yield by their rotation to the arm of the axle. Waggons and coaches have been constructed according to this plan, and in such the draft is greatly alleviated."

JAMES KENNEDY, SEN. KING-STREET,
Respectfully informs the public that he has received, from LEE & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, New-York, a fresh assortment of the following
Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded could be purchased at a retail store.
TAKE NOTICE

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Influenza Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen,
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unwholesome or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Phthisis (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD;
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into a radiate for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 15, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, to commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and many of its being suited to every age and constitution & contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is
remained in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, with our pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the infest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES or CURES—
By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and excited such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or RIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the Reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR;
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, is often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper rate of digestion, by carrying off that bilious fulness, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

KENTUCKY LANDS.
The Subscriber has FOR SALE, 53,500 ACRES of Land in Harden county, Kentucky, binding for 20 miles on the western shore of Knobellon, and lying about 25 miles from Harden court house. Knobellon is navigable from the land into Green river, and is the best fish stream in Kentucky.
This land, though near the Barrens, is well wooded, and remarkably well watered. The outline includes 72,000 acres, but there are 16 or 17,000 acres of other surveys within the lines, which are accurately laid down by actual survey made three years ago, for the purpose of ascertaining interferences. There is no land in Kentucky more free from dispute than the quantity offered for sale. O these elder surveys there are two mills and many families, and on the subscribers land there are about a dozen families, desirous of buying their settlements, and he has reason to believe 100 families more would have purchased and settled on the land in the present year, had it suited his affairs to have sold out in single parcels and many local advantages, and being near the centre of the state.
