FRANKFORT, Aug. 7.
All the princes, counts and other states of the empire who are not named in the act of confederation, and whose possessions border upon those of the allied princes, or are included in them, entirely lose their territorial sovereignty, that is to say, their right to maintain troops, tribunals to act in their name, their right to coin money, to have political agents, &c. in a word, they lose the rights of sovereignty in its genuine acceptance.
The kings of Bavaria and Württemberg and the elector of Baden, acquire the greater part of these little sovereignties. The states of the prince of Fürstenberg, those of the princes of Linage which reckon 30,000 subjects, are divided between the king of Württemberg and the elector of Baden. Those of the prince of Schwartzburg, scattered in Suabia and Franconia are divided between the kings of Bavaria and Württemberg—the former gets what that prince possessed between Ulm and Memmingen and his earldom of Schwartzburg in Franconia; the latter the neighboring states of Schaffhausen, known by the name of Kleggau. Those of the princes of Hohenhohe, in six branches, are subdivided between these two kings. His Bavarian majesty retains the sole sovereignty of the states of the counts of Siggen, the princes and counts of Oettingen, Castell and some others with the city and territory of Nuremberg. Those of the prince of Tour-Taxe in Suabia, are divided between the king of Württemberg and the elector of Baden. There are many branches of the sovereign houses of Vassare, Hohenzollern, Salm and Ysenburg, whose power is more or less circumscribed: there will be henceforth two sovereign princes only of the house of Salm, that of Salm Salm and Salm Kirburg. There will be two only of the name of Nassau, Nassau Dietz, son of the last stadtholder, will be no longer sovereign of the principality of Fulda. The states of the prince of Hohenzollern, Sigmaringen, those of divers branches of the house of Isenburg will acknowledge the sovereignty of the prince of Isenburg, Bendingen, &c. They calculate the number of subjects with which the three principal members of the Rhenish confederation will be augmented thus: the population of the states of the king of Württemberg and the elector of Baden will be increased about 200,000 persons each; and the Bavarian states 300,000 at least. It is added that the king of Prussia, in acknowledging these changes in the constitution of southern Germany, has reserved to himself a right to effect similar alterations in the northern parts of the empire. Thus this constitution, so often attacked, will disappear; but it would not have been destroyed so easily, had not its decay proceeded the measures which are now adopted.

PARIS, Aug. 1.
His imperial highness prince Eugene, viceroy of Italy and commander in chief of the French army in that kingdom, has sent an account from Venice, dated the 21st of July, that a Russian squadron having, in the month of June, disembarked a considerable force at Cataro, to which 10,000 Montenegrins and Greeks joined themselves. General Lauriston thought, that with the 2000 men which he had, he could not make head against 16,000 enemies, especially as the Turkish commandant of the fort of Zarina had permitted his neutrality to be violated. He therefore judged it proper to shut himself up in the town of Ragusa.—This place was speedily invested. Gen. Lauriston caused the position of St. Mark to be occupied, and erected a battery of 40 pieces of cannon on the side towards the sea. He had procured provisions for six months, and was abundantly provided with warlike stores. The Montenegrins spread themselves over the Ragusan territory, and there committed the most horrible excesses. Nothing could equal the rage which these Greek societies displayed towards the Christians, and the inhabitants of the republic of Ragusa. The women were violated, infants butchered, and the old men beheaded. After 20 days of blockade the Russians and Montenegrins commenced the siege.—Twenty pieces of cannon were landed as well as mortars; the cannonade and bombardment lasted 17 days. The Ragusans gave every assistance which circumstances demanded, with a devotion and activity without example. They knew that the Montenegrins would murder them all. They discovered for the French an attachment extremely affecting. Their houses were destroyed by the bombs, without their zeal being either altered or diminished.
In the mean while general Molitor had advanced to Stagno, with all the force that was not necessary for the de-
fence of Dalmatia: and in the beginning of July had collected a considerable number of troops on that point. On the 4th of that month he marched from Stagno: terror and desolation were then at their height in the Ragusan state. On the 5th he arrived over against the road of Maffi, where he discovered the advanced guard of the Montenegrins, who were immediately attacked, overthrown and driven into the sea. The animosity was terrible. Before he found himself, on the 6th, in the face of the enemy's army, which was intrenched in impregnable positions, general Molitor made the following dispositions: the battalion of chasseurs of the east, and the 79th regiment, formed the advanced guard, commanded by colonel Minal; general Melzans commanded the line of battle, and colonel Bone the reserve. In this order general Molitor marched towards the canal of Ombla. The Russians commenced a very brisk fire from their gun-boats to interrupt his passage, but we suffered no loss from it. The French got round the bay. The left of the Russian and Montenegrin army was flanked by some Russian ships of the line and frigates, and had its right defended by the mountains. Behind its front, not a mile in extent, were two positions commanding each other, and occupied by 3 lines of these batteries.
At the moment that the enemy perceived the French division, they advanced against it, but they were defeated and forced to the Russian ss. The village of Bergato was immediately occupied by our troops. The Russian camp was then discovered on the heights in the form of a square battalions: but the moment they perceived our troops advancing against them, they began to retreat, abandoned their artillery, and embarked in great confusion on board their ships. We took from them 20 pieces of cannon, 6 mortars, a number of cannonades, and a great quantity of ammunition. At 7 in the evening general Molitor was at the gates of Ragusa, where nothing could be heard of the arrival of the French division, so heavy was the cannonade by land and sea on the part of the besiegers, and which was redoubled by them to prevent the inhabitants of the town from hearing anything.
No time was lost in pursuing the barbarous Montenegrins. They were driven to the mountains.
The Russians, after sustaining a great loss, and leaving about 60 prisoners behind them, succeeded in getting on board their ships.
This brilliant expedition cost the French only two killed and seven wounded.
The greatest order prevailed in all these expeditions.
General Molitor particularly mentions general Delzons, adjutant commandant Montjaucou, colonel Minal, captain Battaille, aid de camp to the vice king, and colonel Balthasar.
General Molitor gave proofs of sagacity in his dispositions, and of bravery and resolution in his attack.
General Lauriston praises particularly colonel Triquetot of the artillery, and Delmas, captain of engineers.
During the whole of these movements, the Austrian division, under the command of general Bellegarde, which was to deliver to us the mouths of the Cataro, remained at anchor at Curzola, without taking any share in these actions. The Russians retired to Corfu, and the Montenegrins to their mountains.
PARIS, Aug. 10.
This day, Sunday, a deputation from Dalmatia was presented to his majesty the emperor and king, by Mr. Marescaleni, minister of foreign relations for the kingdom of Italy.
This deputation was composed of Messrs. Garaguin, Lanfemo, Stratico, and Begua.
Mr. Garaguin delivered the following address in Italian.
"Sire, The homage of the submissive sentiments, the fidelity and the filial love which Dalmatia offers to your majesty, might have been presented you with more pomp; but never can they be more sincere or more profound.
Its deputies swear in the presence of your splendid throne; they swear it before the people whom you have saved from the storms of anarchy, whilst they place themselves for shelter under your wise and liberal government.
Most august emperor and king, elevated by Providence, by your courage, and by your wisdom, to the direction of the greatest of nations; your actions announce to the universe that you alone are worthy to govern them all.
"Sire, your faithful Dalmatian people, delivered from hostile calamities which have oppressed them during so many ages, this day are raised to a new station. Your clemency, like your greatness, animates their hopes.
"Already certain of your kindness, they offer you at once the purest sentiments of acknowledgments, and fidelity, with which all their hearts are filled, & their deputies exult in being permitted to express them, with the most profound
respect to Napoleon the great; a sublime name, which certifies the happiness of fifty millions of subjects, which insures that of Europe, and which will command the admiration of all posterity."
The same deputation had the honor also to be presented to her majesty the empress and queen. They delivered the following address.
"Madam, The people of Dalmatia penetrated with sentiments of the most profound veneration, have the honor to present to your majesty the most humble homage of obedience and fidelity.
"Queen of the greatest of monarchs, happy mother of a prince who by the brightest and most amiable virtues, unites more and more the ties which bind the Italian family, only model of benevolence and virtue; will you accept, madam, the protestations of the most respectful devotion from the Dalmatians."
"Your beloved name will always remain engraved upon their hearts, & upon that of their children."
The deputies of the Venetian departments who had the honor to be presented to his majesty on the 15th of June last, yesterday had their audience of leave.
At the same audience his excellency the count of Motterwicz, ambassador from the Austrian Emperor to the French court, presented his letters of credence to his majesty.
On the 15th of August, the ratifications of the treaty of peace concluded between his majesty the Emperor, and the king of Italy, and his majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, are to be exchanged.
The news makers have been rejoicing for several days, and each class or dreamers or speculators has made his tale according to his imagination or his interest. Some have put the armies of Austria and Prussia in motion; and it is impossible to say what has been detailed concerning these two powers; but they have not said that France and Prussia are united in the strictest amity; that the difficulties between France and Austria, which were excited upon the subject of Cattaro, are vanished by the treaty of peace concluded with Russia, and that the Rhenish confederation is now acknowledged by the Austrian emperor and all the German princes.
Spain having united her armies, and France drawn her's towards the Pyrenees, has given occasion to some to say that there is a misunderstanding between the two powers. But what they have not said is that they are more than ever united in the common cause of the freedom of the ocean. The negotiations with England have been the cause of these extravagancies! According to some, a French army is directed to march into Poland, to crown a king in concert with a great power. According to others, British and French fleets are about to attack the Americans, &c.—Then they say that peace is concluded, but that the accomplishment of these great designs demands mystery; some say that the plenipotentiaries have already been presented to his majesty; but they have not told, that although negotiations with England began in March last, and have had sufficient time to be matured, yet the best informed politicians cannot conjecture the result. The disposition of France is uniform; that of its enemies depends upon health or sickness, upon the preservation or loss of a minister who holds the reins of English politics. Since the illness of Mr. Fox has hindered him from assisting in council, it is natural that negotiations should proceed slowly; but if this celebrated man should die, and if his death should prolong the calamities of war for the two nations, never will a loss cause more regret, never can there be a more superb funeral oration for a statesman.
DUSSELDORF, July 31.
An ordinance of our sovereign was published here by our sovereign on the 26th, commanding his forces to take possession in his name of the earldoms of Bentheim, Steinfurt, Horsemann, and the country of Loon. It is remarked that his highness has assumed the title of Grand Duke of Berg. This title not being used in Germany, our politicians have conjectured what will be the future state of our country; and some think that the German princes, in the vicinity of France, will take this same title, and detach themselves from the Germanic empire.
The confederation of the Rhine will maintain 76,000 men, at the disposal of France; and France engages to assist them in case of need, with 200,000 of its troops.
AUGSBURG, July 30.
The French garrison of Braunau will be considerably reinforced. Large bodies of troops are assembling at Ratisbon. The French army in Bavaria will be much strengthened. The Bavarian
regiments have recalled all upon leave of absence. A camp of 30,000 men will be formed between Strauburg and Pfalter.
The Prince of Nassau Attingen has issued a proclamation, in which he declares that the constitution of Germany being no longer able to insure the repose of Southern Germany, many states of the empire have placed themselves under the protection of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy; that in consequence his highness has signed with his majesty a convention by which he declared himself invested with the country of Neuwild Holzappelize, that he as chief of his house takes the title of duke, and claims the obedience of his subjects. This act is dated Biederich, and signed Frederick Augustus, duke of Nassau.
RATISBON, August 2.
The following note was yesterday sent to the diet:
"The ministers and envoys under signed, delegated to the general diet of the empire, have received orders from their high employers, to communicate to your excellencies the following declaration:
"The events of the three last wars which have disturbed the peace of Germany almost without interruption, and the political changes which have thence resulted, have strongly proved this sad truth, that the bond which formerly united the different states of the Germanic corps, could not secure this end, or rather that it is already dissolved. This truth has long been felt by every German; and however painful the experience of several years has been, it has not only shewed the weakness of the constitution, respectable in its origin, but become defective from the want of stability, attached to all human institutions. It is to this only that the schism in the empire, of 1795, can be attributed, and which in its consequences caused a separation of interests between the northern and southern states. From that time, all ideas of country and common interest have disappeared; the expressions, war of the empire, peace of the empire, have become unmeaning; we seek in vain Germany amidst the Germanic body. The princes in the vicinity of France, denied all protection, and exposed to all the evils of a war of which they could not by their own power foresee the end, in the means furnished by the constitution, were forced to withdraw themselves from the confederation by a separate peace.
"The treaty of Luneville and the recess of the Empire in 1803, were apparently sufficient to renew the strength of the Germanic constitution, seeing that the feeble parts of the system were banished by it, and its fundamental principles confirmed. But the events which have occurred within the last ten months, under the eyes of all the Empire, have destroyed every hope which they had, and irresistibly proved anew, that the constitution which had until now existed, could no longer stand. Determined by these important considerations, the sovereigns and princes of the south and west of Germany have judged it proper to conclude a new confederation, which is adapted to their actual situation. In renouncing, by the present declaration, their union with the Germanic body, they only follow the system established by anterior events, and also by the declaration of the most powerful states of the Empire. They would willingly have preserved the shadow of the constitution which has ceased to exist, but they thought it more conformable to their dignity, and to the purity of their views to make a frank and open declaration of their resolution and of the motives which actuate them. They would have flattered themselves in vain to have attained their desired end, if they were not assured of the most powerful protection, which the same monarch whose views had always agreed with the true interests of Germany, had engaged to them.
"So powerful a guarantee is soothing in a double view. It gives the assurance that his majesty, the Emperor of the French for his own glory, as well as for the interests of his empire, will have at heart the maintenance of the new order of things established in Germany, and the confirmation of its internal and external tranquility. That which evidently proves that this precious tranquility is the principal end of the confederation of the Rhine is, that the coalesced states of the Sovereigns in whose name the present declaration is made, acceded to it according to their own proposition to be admitted into it.
"In acquitting ourselves of the orders which we have received, we have the honor to be, with esteem and devotion, your excellencies, &c.

NAPLES, July 16.
The English have at length executed the descent with which they have so long threatened us. But this time their attempts, directed against Calabria, have turned to their disadvantage though at first they had marked success. It is affecting to have to say, that they induced part of the inhabitants to rise, and that act of revolt has forced the generals to inflict all the rigor of the laws of war upon the villages and the inhabitants. The following is the first report published relative to the bloody affairs:
On the first instant, the English disembarked 6000 troops in the Gulph of St. Euphemia, in Calabria, and at first succeeded in defeating general Regnier, at the head of the 42d regiment and the Polish regiment. Gen. Cembere was badly wounded, and 320 Poles taken prisoners. The English, being afterwards reinforced by 3000 men, and from 3 to 4000 rebellious Calabrians, ventured beyond the protection of their ships; but they had not proceeded further than an hour's distance from Cosenza, before they were attacked by gen. Verdier, at the head of 10,000 infantry, and 2000 cavalry. The English were soon thrown into confusion, and put to flight; and when the news came away, 1800 of them had been brought prisoners to the head quarters—Gen. Verdier was in pursuit of the remainder—and it was supposed, that but few of them would reach their ships. On the other side general Regnier had advanced to the coast of the opposite bay towards Cotrona, had given the village of Lissola to plunder, and caused 200 rebels to be cut to pieces.
BANKS OF THE MEINE, July 23.
If the Gazette of Clagenfurt may be believed, the inhabitants of Cataro have refused to give up that place to the Austrians for the latter to surrender it to the French, and have declared that they will in no case consent to come under the government of the French.
The federative league of several German princes with France was, we are assured, signed on the 17th of this month, by the respective ministers, and sent by a courier to the courts interested for ratification. We may consequently soon expect the official publication of this important act, which will cause a great change in the south of Germany.
ALTONA, Aug. 1.
In the July article of the Political Journal is the following:
"Nuremberg, July 18.
"There is generally read here the following letter, from his Roman imperial majesty, to the elector arch-chancellor, in relation to his making choice of a coadjutor.
"Dearly Beloved—You are already informed that your mission, dated the 24th of the foregoing month, on the subject of the resolution you had taken to choose a coadjutor, has been submitted to me for perusal. I cannot but be greatly surprised, that when the first intimation was given me of the resolution which you had taken, you yourself immediately communicated it to the diet of the empire, by means of a rescript, and by an arbitrary disregard of my approbation, as head of the empire, you have already adopted those arrangements, as if that approbation had already actually followed. In your capacity of arch chancellor, you know the constitutional relations too well for me to think it necessary to recall to your recollection those which have been established for the maintenance of the old statutes of the German empire, and for the regulations of the peace of Westphalia; what also had been confirmed with regard to the maintenance of the Metropolitan church of Mentz, by the last fundamental law of the empire; according to a resolution of the diet, and which his holiness the Pope confirmed in a consistorial act at Paris, on the 1st of Feb. 1805, and finally, what has been so often prescribed in the election capitulations of the Diet of the empire. You should never have lost sight of the high and weighty interests which arise out of the subjects, and which merit distinguished and primary consideration.

BORDEAUX, August 16.
CELEBRATION.
The anniversary in honor of his Majesty the Emperor and King of Italy, was celebrated yesterday with great solemnity. After the pontifical mass sung in the metropolitan church of St. Andrew, and at which the civil and military authorities were present, Mr. Ranzan delivered an oration suitable to the occasion.
At the Prefect's Palace, a dinner was given, to which all the civil and mili-

very officers were invited, and all the Consuls of the foreign powers. The bulk of his Majesty the Emperor was placed in the most distinguished part of the hall. After dinner these toasts were drunk; His Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Empress. The Emperor's armies. The powers in alliance with France. Madame de Lapagerie, mother of her majesty the Empress. The judicial and administrative authorities.
The Jews sung a Te Deum in their temple, and their president delivered a discourse adapted to the day.
The Theatres were all open gratis, and the entertainments finished soon enough to permit the spectators to visit the public garden, there to enjoy the fine works. The direction of these was delivered to Mr. Varinot who distinguished himself by his zeal and genius.
The last fire work was a temple of eight columns; having in the centre a transparency representing the bust of his Majesty the Emperor, crowned with stars of fire, and surmounted with a glory of detached beams; the whole was 160 feet in circumference. Upon his right and left the crowns of France and Italy.
The officers of government, the public establishments, and great numbers of private houses were illuminated.
The Prefect's Palace exhibited a transparency painted by Mr. Alan. This was the portrait of Napoleon I. in a medallion, leaning upon a small armoury surrounded with the imperial Eagle: on his right Fame publishing his exploits, and on his left, Genius crowning him. Below was this line—
Nil oriturum, alias nil ortum tale fatentes.
Every thing was managed in the greatest order at this festival, the police having provided for the public tranquillity.
MADRID, Aug. 6.
A very active correspondence is carried on between our cabinet and that of Saint Cloud; for several weeks particularly few days elapse without the arrival of a courier, either Spanish or French. The last was dispatched by the French charge d'affaires, M. Vandeuil.
HAMBURGH, Aug. 13.
Prussia is endeavoring to form the Federation of the north. This power would wish the Hanse towns to form a part of it; but it is asserted that France, Russia and England have agreed that these towns should remain independent under the protection of all Europe.
It appears that Denmark refuses to form part of this confederation, and that Holstein will be united to the Danish monarchy.
HESSE CASSEL, Aug. 14.
The northern powers are at this time very active, on the subject of the matter relative to a new constitution for Germany. From the time that the Russian minister at Berlin shall have received from Petersburg the necessary full powers, these changes will advance towards their conclusion. The counsellor of state D'Oubril has carried a project of them to Petersburg. It is said that Hamburg may possibly be fixed upon as the chief place of that confederation. The cities, until now imperial, also naturally lose their sovereignty. It is believed certain that the duke of Brunswick is intended to be primate of the confederation to be formed in the North of Germany. Our elector is not expected to return hither until after the fixing of the basis of the confederation at Berlin, and the arrival of the reply of the Russian cabinet in that capital, where it is expected before the 24th of this month.
August 18:
Our sovereign has just entered into the federation of the north, under the immediate direction of Prussia.
DRESDEN, Aug. 16.
Our court has been sounded in order to enter into the Northern confederacy; but, placed between four powers, Austria, France, Russia and Prussia, it will come to no decision but by their advice. Our sovereign would prefer remaining neutral, in order not to be engaged in foreign disputes and to preserve his perfect independence.
Hitherto, the Ambassadors of France, Russia and Austria have remained silent; the Prussian minister alone has taken steps with our cabinet.
FRANKFORT, Aug. 29.
It is confidently asserted that the emperor Napoleon has ordered to be declared that the territory of the confederation of the Rhine was inviolable, that no detachment of troops belonging to any foreign powers whatever should pass over it, and every transgression would be looked on as a violation of territory.
LISBON, August 1.
The last letters from the Bay of San Salvador (Brasil) contain the particulars of the expedition of captain L'Hermite, which cannot but give pleasure to the French. That brave seaman has carried away or destroyed on the coast of Guinea, more than 40 English vessels, the greater part slave ships. He has sold 1300 at San Salvador. He has sailed again on a cruise.
NAPLES, August 11.
The general Massena beats and disperses the rebels on all sides. He slept on the 6th at Lauria, and was to be on the 17th at Castrovillari.
The two columns of light troops which set out from Salerno and la Torre della Annunziata, have advanced along the coast, disarmed all the inhabitants, and secured public tranquillity, which will be preserved in spite of all the vague threats of the enemy.
Massena is successful in Naples. The Neapolitan papers say, that Major Cosselli, at the head of a company of gensdarmes, has 'scoured' the wood of Ariosa and Lama, which have always served as a shelter to the poor, feeble, but loyal fugitives from the terrors of foreign invasion.
New-York, Oct. 11.
LATEST DATES. —Arrived this forenoon, the schooner Hamlet, captain Henry, in 32 days from Bordeaux. Captain H. informs that the negotiations for peace had broken off, and that lord Lauderdale had demanded his passport on the 28th of August, and expected to leave Paris in a few days. The Hamlet left Bordeaux the 5th Sept. and the river the 8th. Accounts, however are contradictory.
Letters are received by the same arrival of the 1st & 3d of September, one of which says "we are in the same state of uncertainty as when I wrote you last. The negotiations are continued, and by some are supposed to be rapidly approaching to a pacific conclusion."
A Paris paper, the Argus, of the 1st of September, takes no notice of a failure of the negotiation, which is incredible to suppose, had lord Lauderdale left Paris.
The great continental powers have agreed to acknowledge Bonaparte, and a magnificent fete is in consequence, preparing.
New-York, Oct. 13.
The ship Robert Burns, capt. Waite, arrived at this port on Saturday, in 43 days from Liverpool; and the schooner Hamlet, Henry, in 32 days from Bordeaux. The Robert Burns put into Kinsale, and brings Cork papers to the 28th of August; the Hamlet left Bordeaux on the 3d Sept.
To these dates the Irish and French papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser extend.
But, although so many days later than our previous accounts, we are left in the same state of uncertainty as to the great question of Peace or War. Our verbal and printed advices from France differ very materially on this important point; the former state the negotiations were broken off, and that Lord Lauderdale had demanded his passports: the Paris Argus of the 30th of August says, in a quotation from the Publiciste, "The negotiations with England are still carrying on with activity." Two questions only, it is added, present themselves in the course of the deliberations on this subject—1st. Whether Great Britain should preserve the dominion of her influence upon the continent; and 2d. How long the nations of the continent shall remain excluded from the common domain of the sea, and submit to the yoke England imposes upon their commerce and their industry? The battle of Austerlitz decided the first—the second is yet undetermined.
The Emperor of Austria (who has renounced the title of Emperor of Germany, and thus become Bonaparte's junior) the king of Prussia, and most of the great continental powers, have recognized the late Germanic Federation.
A Nantz paper of the 29th August announces that the ship Veteran, commanded by Jerome Bonaparte, arrived in the night between the 26th and 27th of that month, at Concarneau, in the bay of La Foret.
Czerni-Georges obtained, on the 26th of July, a signal victory over the Ottoman troops on the frontiers of Turkey. The Turks lost no less than 9 or 10,000 men. Their defeat is represented as being so complete, that only a few hundred men escaped. Three of their principal chiefs, Ali Bey, Achmet Bey, and Zhego Bey, were killed. The Seravians made an immense booty.
The homeward Jamaica fleet had arrived at its destination. On the passage the convoying vessels fell in with and captured a Spanish fleet of merchantmen, bound from Matanzas to Havana, under the protection of a line of battle ship and two gun brigs.
In our selection of intelligence from the papers by the Robert Burns and Hamlet, we have carefully noted every article which might seem to have the slightest bearing on the new coalition said to have been formed against France; but we find nothing to warrant so extravagant an opinion.
LONDON, August 20.
The last accounts received at Gottenburgh from St. Petersburg, state that the Russian Minister to the Porte was about to take his departure.
Mr. David Erskine, appointed Ambassador to the United States, left town yesterday with his suit to embark for America.
The Jewish Assembly at Paris has already answered three of the questions proposed to it; these are as follows:
 1. Is it lawful for the Jews to marry more than one wife?  2. Is Divorce allowed by the Jewish religion? Is it lawful, although no sentence respecting it be pronounced by the tribunals, and in pursuance of the French code.  3. May a Jewess marry a Christian, and a Christian female with a Jew? Or does the law require that the Jews solely marry among each other? 
The answer contains principally, that the Jewish law, in the strictest sense, permits polygamy, divorce, and mixed marriages, but that these are limited by practice and usage. To the question which relates to the duties of French citizens, the assembly voluntarily, and without premeditation, answered in the fullest manner.
AUGUST 22.
A letter from an officer of rank in our fleet off the Dutch coast, dated the 19th instant, states, that there are five sail of the line, one frigate, and two armed brigs, ready for sea in the Maars Diep, and two sail of the line fitting out in the New Diep. The writer adds—"From every information that has reached me, it appears, that upon the first intelligence of a change in the government, such symptoms of a disposition to mutiny were manifested among the seamen, that it was deemed expedient to pay them off, and they are now re-entering. This expedient was of course resorted to with a view to exclude the discontented, and to select the pliant. Admiral de Winter has come down as Admiral and Inspector General. He has hoisted his flag on board the Brutus, an 80 gun ship. I am of opinion that these ships have no notion of coming out, and that their only object is to shew those appearances which may suggest to us the necessity of keeping a fleet off the coast, and thus prevent us from employing it in any other quarter." From some further observations which appear in this officer's letter, it seems pretty evident that the conduct of the Dutch seamen, when informed of the total subversion of their republic, amounted, as we have more than once stated, to absolute mutiny. Several of these seamen are stated to have been committed to prison.
On Wednesday the Fury bomb, with a fleet from the Downs, among which were the three transports, so often put back by contrary winds, arrived off Plymouth.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, his majesty's ship Sampson, of 64 guns, Rear Admiral Stirling, sailed from Cowsand Bay, with the Prevoiant of 40 guns, Earl Spencer, and Sir Stephen Lushington, East Indian, and four more ships, all bound to the Cape of Good Hope; the wind was then fresh at S.E. so that they would soon clear the channel. General Grey is on board the Sampson.
The troops, with the Resistance, of forty guns, still remained at Plymouth, when our letters came away. A number of mortars have been embarked with the Royal Artillery.
From a disagreement in our accounts from Plymouth a few days ago, we could not determine all the ship's names which received the Queen's Bays. We find they are the Repulse, Theseus, Malta.
The public were on Thursday gratified with seeing Mr. Fox in his carriage in Hyde Park. He took an airing for an hour, and returned without the slightest feeling of fatigue. It is now happily ascertained that the operation has succeeded. The skill with which it was performed, and his own naturally strong constitution, give almost certain hopes of a perfect recovery. His appetite is good, and his strength gradually returning.

We esteem ourselves forunate in having obtained the information necessary to put the public on their guard against the rumours which are at present in circulation, and which we are authorised to communicate.
All the difficulties which existed in Germany have been removed. Austria has acknowledged the confederation of the Rhine; and the title of Emperor of Austria confers upon this house a title equal to those of other imperial houses.
Prussia has acknowledged the Confederation of the Rhine, as well as the late arrangements in Germany.
His Majesty the King of Prussia has appointed M. de Humbolt, his minister plenipotentiary to Naples. He has also appointed ministers to the king of Holland, and to the Grand Duke of Cleves and Berg.
The Emperor of Austria has acknowledged the King of the Two Sicilies.
The orders are preparing for the Staff for the return of the Grand Army: and the Fêtes, on account of the peace, will take place at the end of Sept. as we before stated.
The affairs of the Continent are in a state of arrangement at present, that it may look to permanent tranquillity.
The ratification of the treaty of peace with Russia, will be exchanged at St. Petersburg on the 15th inst. and all the information which has been lately received from that great capital, furnishes fresh proofs of the pacific disposition of the Emperor Alexander, and of his desire to contribute to the general peace.
DEAL, August 21.
Mr. Basilico, the messenger, arrived this afternoon in the Speculator lugger from France. He is said to be the bearer of dispatches of the utmost importance, as an express was sent off to stop the transports.
AUGUST 19.
Letters from Plymouth state, that General Simcoe embarked on Friday last on board La Santa Margareta frigate, which immediately sailed; it is added that the rendezvous is given off the rock of Lisbon, and that he will assemble there a very considerable naval force. Besides the Hibernia, lord St. Vincent will be joined by 4 ships of the line and some frigates, and that it is
said that one of the expeditions will repair to the same place. The departure of lord St. Vincent for the south and the assembling of a very considerable squadron at the mouth of the Tagus give rise to several conjectures.
LOSS OF THE QUEBEC FLEET.
Mercantile Chronicle office, Cork, Aug. 25, four o'clock.
Our courier has just arrived from Cove, with the following information—
The transport ship Osborne, capt. Moffett, has arrived in this harbor. Her intelligence is of a very disagreeable nature—She made one of a fleet of twenty two sail, which left Quebec, under convoy, of his Majesty's ship Champion. Three of that number were transports having on board the 6th regiment of foot, consisting of four hundred & sixty seven men; the other ships were merchantmen and malt ships. On the 15th inst. seven of the convoy parted at different periods of the day; and on the same day they fell in with a strange sail, which, when within four miles of the Champion not answering the private signal, it was intimated to the ships of the fleet to disperse. It was shortly discovered that the strange sail was an enemy, and a line of battle ship. She was observed to board five sail during the day of which were set on fire. Another sail was distinguished to leeward, bearing S. by E. which had also the appearance of a man of war, and as a fire was discernible in that direction, she was also judged to be an enemy. From the situation in which the fleet was when the Osborne escaped it is strongly to be apprehended, that the entire of it was either captured or destroyed. We are not specially informed of the fate of the Champion, from the short distance she was from the enemy, her escape was considered impossible. The Osborne has part of the 6th foot on board.
PARIS, Aug. 27.
The stockjobbing speculations have considerably lowered the public funds at London. But the friends of Peace do not the less preserve the hope of shortly seeing it re-established. The negotiations continue, and the night before last another English Courier arrived with dispatches. The treaty of Peace may be very difficult to conclude, but when the English ministers cast their eyes towards the Continent, they must certainly see that they have no more diversions to hope for in that quarter, and consequently the war henceforth offers them no chance of favorable events, whilst it has incalculable dangers for England.
As to ourselves, notwithstanding the fluctuation of the exchange, notwithstanding the reports propagated by those who know no more about the state of the negotiations than we do, we live to be believe that peace with England was decided at Austerlitz.
The English Courier who arrived in the night between the 25th and 26th, is Mr Shaw—it is believed that it will not be long before the famous Basilico, will be dispatched again to London, and that he will be accompanied by the private secretary of lord Lauderdale. Thus the negotiation continues notwithstanding the reports propagated all over Europe by the spirit of stockjobbing, the effect of which is every where sensibly felt.
August 28.
We have received London papers to the 23d August inclusive. They exhibit the same picture of uncertainty, of abusive reports, of lying rumors and alarming news; and as among a commercial nation the speculations of trade have a great influence upon public opinion, it is at the royal and stock exchange that an observer should place himself to judge of the alternations of fear and hope which the inhabitants of London have experienced for these 8 days past.
The 20th and 21st omnium fell to five, and on those days the thermometer seemed to be steadily fixed at War! But as this extraordinary fall was only the result of the news spread in the morning, that lord Lauderdale had received his passport to return to England; it is probable the subsequent days may have been more serene for the city of London, by informing its merchants and stockholders that his lordship had not quitted Paris. The Moniteur of Tuesday last, especially, by announcing the news of the return of the grand army to France, shows that if England be determined to prosecute a war devoid of object, it will henceforward be a war really hard to hand, and without any support for her on the part of the continent.
All the Austrian prisoners who were in the Wirtemburg states, and who were retained there in consequence of the obstacles which arose in the execution of the Treaty of Presburg, have been released, and have now set out on their return home.
All the French troops of the grand army have received their marching orders to return to France.
The corps of marshal Ney will cross the Rhine over the bridge of New Brisack.
The corps of marshals Mortier, Bernadotte, and Augereau will cross the Rhine over the bridge of Mentz.
The corps of marshal Soult and the different reserves of cavalry will cross the Rhine over the bridge of Strasburg.
The corps of marshal Davoust will cross the Rhine over the bridge of Spire.
Thus before the end of September the corps of the grand army will have evacuated Germany, and by the end of that month there will not be a single Frenchman remaining in it.
Several camps will be pitched round Paris for the army during the têtes.—That of Mendon already contains 12 battalions, who have been encamped there for this week past.
Moniteur:
It is asserted that the charge d'affaires of the emperor of Russia at the diet of Ratisbon, is to publish a declaration of his sovereign, acknowledging the confederation of the Rhine. It is tho't that he will be hereafter accredited to the prince primate at Frankfort.
Gazette de France.
The Spanish ambassador, in order to celebrate the fete of St. Louis, which is that of the queen, his sovereign, gave on Monday last a grand dinner to all the Spaniards of distinction now in Paris.
August 30.
The negotiations with England are still carrying on with activity. On the 25th inst. Mr. Shaw, an English courier, arrived in this city; and it is now asserted that Mr. Basilico is on the eve of his departure for London, as is also lord Lauderdale's private secretary.
BERLIN, August 13.
Military preparations are constantly going on in the Prussian fortresses and provinces: all the boats between Magdeburg and the frontiers of Saxony have been put in requisition for the service of troops: even the generals Blucher, Hohenlohe, Ruchel, and prince Louis Ferdinand are named as intended to command armies. It is the more difficult to conjecture the object of the preparations, as we no longer see any enemies of Prussia, since there is a talk of a reconciliation with Sweden.
STUTGARD, August 20.
Our court has just published a note stating that at the time of the exchange of the ratification of the Treaty of the Confederacy of the Rhine, (which exchange took place the 27th July, and the subsequent days at Munich) Mr. de Cothmer, envoy of Wirtemburg to the king of Bavaria, delivered to the ministers of all the contracting parties a formal protestation against the cession of Tutingen; the said ministers accepted that protestation, which was delivered to them with the instrument of the ratification exchanged, and which is dated from Stuttgart, of the 24th of July, signed by the king, and countersigned by the minister of state. It states in substance, "that the Treaty of the 12th July requires of his majesty the cession of Tutingen, and of its dependencies, situated on the right bank of the Danube; but that by virtue of the obligations contracted by his Wirtemburg majesty at his accession to the government of his states, he cannot subscribe to the alienation of a part of his ancient domains. His majesty declares in consequence that in no case will he consent to this cession. He further declares that he is disposed to indemnify the grand duke of Baden, relative to Tutingen and its dependencies by another district which shall be agreed upon."
FRANKFORT, August 23.
Yesterday the governor of our town addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants, in which he informed that Mr. Lambert, French commissary general, had notified to him the order he had received to take possession of the town of Frankfort for H. S. H. the prince primate, the former elector arch chancellor.
The different German princes who form the confederation of the Rhine, had already made known their accession to the confederation and the aggrandisement of their state by patents and proclamations. French commissioners are now arrived at their courts, charged to take possession of and deliver up to them their new acquisitions. The definitive constitution of the confederation will be carried into effect on the 1st of September. It is still rumored that at that period H. M. the emperor of the French will be in our town, in order to open, as Protector, the first assembly of the confederated princes. This league is already recognized by most of the European powers; and we every instant expect to see it acknowledged in like manner by the emperor of Russia, and to receive the declaration which this potentate is about publishing on that head. This league augments daily. We have positive intelligence that the elector of Wirtemburg acceded thereto, about eight days since, and that the emperor of Austria, his brother, whom he had consulted on the subject, gave his formal approbation to the measure. It is not yet known what the elector of Hesse will do; the information which has reached us concerning the intentions of that court being too vague to be relied on.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17.
Original articles are deferred on account of the large mass of foreign intelligence.
By late advices from the Mediterranean, we learn that war has been declared between the Bey of Tunis and the Dey of Algiers; occasioned by the refusal of Tunis to pay the stipulated tribute to Algiers, in which the former is said to be countenanced by the Porte.
For the benefit of our agricultural and commercial readers, we extract the following article from a London print of August 1.
MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Having experienced during the latter part of the month much wet, with frequent thunder storms, and torrents of rain, the heaviest and most forward crops of wheat have been beaten down in many situations, and will be materially injured, should not dry weather soon follow; the reaping will be both troublesome and expensive.
Oats in general may be expected to turn out a fair crop. Barley has much improved, but that grain coming in two growths, the produce, on threshing, will be considerably lessened. Peas in most situations prove a bad crop, in some they have totally failed.
The hay harvest, in the counties distant from the metropolis, has been much impeded by the late frequent showers, and in some of the low meadows, large quantities of hay are spoiled.
The Turnips recently sown, that work having been performed twice in many extensive districts, may now be expected to stand for a crop; and in the early part of the preceding month, in the Fen country the burning of land for Coleseed was finished, and sown to a great extent; the Coleseed left for seed looked well, and the weather at that time was favorable to Fen and Wash grass.
The clovers and winter tares which were early fed or mown, grow fast and afford excellent keep. The recent improvement of the pastures has been favorable to the dairyman and grazier, and at the late fairs, lean cattle, store sheep, and milking cows, have somewhat advanced in price.
Cart colts bred in Fens, and young fresh horses in farmers hands, are much in request by the dealers, and obtain good prices—inferior lots since the great sales, in consequence of the reduction in the cavalry, are scarcely disposable but on very low terms.
COMMUNICATION.
The Second Chamber of the Corporation of Washington City have unanimously passed a bill for erecting a pier for ferry boats at Maryland Avenue ferry.
Extract of a letter from New-Orleans, to a mercantile house in Baltimore, dated Sept. 12, 1806.
"We have news from the Attakapas, saying "It is rumored here that colonel Thompson has ordered out the militia of this country, to be in readiness; and that captain Boyer has been defeated and taken, and that major Sparks is driven back. It is certain, that the Spanish army is on the march this side of Natchitoches."
"We have just, however, received authentic information, that there has been no engagement, but that the Spaniards were obliged to return across the Sabine river again to preserve their health, and that while they were on this side about three weeks, they lost 500 of their men with the fever; and that the governor of the interior of Mexico was on his way with troops, & when he arrived they would have an army of 5 or 6000 men when they will endeavor to force a passage to this place."
A London paper of the 28th of August put on board the Alexander, in the Downs, mentions the arrival of a messenger from Lord Lauderdale; and that, in consequence thereof, Stocks had risen
in the morning to 8 and a half, but had declined to 6 and a quarter at the close of the day. His lordship had not made any arrangements for quitting Paris—on the contrary, his son was about leaving London on a visit to his father, on the presumption that the negotiations would be carried on for a considerable time longer.
MIRANDA.
Captain Briggs, arrived yesterday from Curacao, reports that he was at Aruba 6 weeks ago, at which time Miranda was in possession of that island.
Galatea, of 36 guns. Bachante, 28. Lady slop, 22. Brigs Attentive, 18. Express, 18. Two schooners heavily armed, and the Leander, 24. With several schooners as transports. The troops were about 600 in number.
Captain Briggs dined with the general, who informed him that the reason of his sailing out with Lewis (former captain of the Leander) was, when the Spanish brig attacked the Leander, she beat them off with ease—they then bore down on the two schooners, which had fallen to leeward, and in shore—the general requested Lewis to pursue, but he would not, by which means the schooners were captured. He also informed captain B. that he was not out of Coro, but that he left it for Aruba, until the troops, 5000 in number, that he expected daily from Barbadoes and Jamaica, attended by a 64 gun ship, should arrive.
Baltimore Telegraph.
HURRICANE AT DOMINIQUE. St Johns, (Ant.) Sept. 15. Arrived this morning the Danish schooner Marinier, Basden, from Barbadoes and Dominique. She brings the most deplorable accounts of the ravages made by a hurricane at the latter island, on the night of Tuesday last.
"On Thursday night the 9th inst. we experienced the most violent hurricane known in this island for 50 years: about 9 o'clock at night it began to blow from the northward, and continued till 12, when it blew so hard as to render it impossible to move from the house. The rain fell most dreadfully, and caused the river to run through every street in town. The consequences are distressing beyond every thing I ever saw: almost the whole centre of the town is carried away: very many lives are lost. Persons, houses, stock, and every thing which stood in the street leading between Mr. Dodd's and Mr. Calcut's, were swept into the sea.
"The house and store rented by captain Syers, was also washed away: and I am sorry to add that young Mr. Harper and a servant of Mr. Syers went with it. Captain McKay, by an extraordinary effort, leaped from that house on a high wall, as the house was passing over Mr. Martin's lot, and escaped. All the shipping, excepting one vessel, are lost, several seamen perished. The estates have suffered severely. The buildings at Morne Bruce, except one, are blown down, but fortunately very few lives were lost there. The officers and men lay all night on the ground, not daring to get up for fear of being blown off the Hill."
Another letter says, "It is ascertained that at least 107 persons have perished in the storm."
PHILADELPHIA NORTHERN LIBERTIES. Oct. 6, 1806.
Agreeably to public notice, a very large number of democratic citizens assembled at the sign of the Cock and Lion, and after appointing Dr. Leib their chairman, and William Binder their secretary, they entered into the following resolutions:
Whereas it has been suggested that the President of the U. S. intends to decline a re-election, and greater embarrassments may arise to the democratic interest, should such an event take place than is experienced at present.
And whereas, the political principles of Mr. Jefferson are such as must receive the assent and approbation of every friend to the rights of man, and an exchange of a man of known and tried virtue and talents for another, in whose favor there is not the same evidence of devotion to the principles of free government and to the happiness of the people, may put to hazard the public safety:
And whereas a combination has taken place between real federalists and professed republicans, by which the strength of the democratic party has been impaired, and this combination may acquire more substance and become more dangerous for the countenance and intrigue of some new candidates for the Presidency, therefore,
Resolved unanimously, That a committee be appointed to confer with
any committees that are or may be appointed by our democratic brethren, on the measures necessary to be adopted to procure the assent of Mr. Jefferson to serve another period, and to explain to him the causes of our embarrassments & the means by which they are to be redressed.
Resolved, that Dr. Leib, Frederick Wolbert, John Kessler John Goodman and Wm. Binder, be a committee for the purposes expressed in the foregoing resolution.
At a meeting of the democratic republican citizens of Lower Dublin Township, Philadelphia county, held at the house of William Mitchener in Bustleton, Oct 5, 1806.
SIMON BENNETT, was chosen chairman—and JOHN HOLME, secretary.
After the chairman had stated the object for which the meeting had been called, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas this meeting entertain the highest opinion of the virtue, talents, firmness and patriotism of the President of the United States, and gratefully acknowledge his unremitting and highly meritorious services to our happy country, and considering his re-election to the presidency of the utmost importance to the cause of democratic republicanism.—Therefore,
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to meet such committees as have or may be appointed by the democratic republican citizens of the other townships of the county or wards of the city of Philadelphia, for the purpose of addressing the President of the United States, soliciting his consent to be put in nomination, for the presidency, another constitutional term after the expiration of the present, and generally to adopt such measures as will promote this desirable object.
William Duncan, John Northrop, and John Holme, jun. were appointed the committee for the purposes contained in the foregoing resolution.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Aurora, and Geyer's German paper.
SIMON BENNETT, Chairman. Attick, JOHN HOLME, jun. secretary.
FROM THE VERMONT CENTINEL.
Character of Colonel Udney Hay.
With the deepest regret we announce to the public the death of Colonel UDNEY HAY, which took place in this town on Saturday the 6th inst. after a very short illness, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. The next day his remains were conveyed to the meeting house, where an appropriate discourse was delivered by the Rev. President Saunders, and attended to the grave by a numerous and respectable procession of his friends, from this and the neighbouring towns, with uncommon manifestations of regard for his character and sorrow at his death.
As a member of the council of Censors, the loss of Col. Hay, is to the state of Vermont at this time peculiarly irreparable, and must excite an unusual share of public regret. We are aware that commendation of the dead is often and sometimes perhaps justly suspected of disguising real faults, and embellishing with counterfeited virtues; but the character of Col. Hay, needs no fictitious colouring. His illustrious worth, like the sun, was crowned with its own beams and diffused its influence throughout a very broad circle. Though his life was a chequered scene—a twilight mixed with shadows—his virtues were such as ennobled while they endeared; for with honor which felt a stain like a wound, he combined integrity that passed suspicion, and a philanthropy always glowing—but which quickened as he advanced in life, and seemed, cubed for perpetuity.
These were the gifts of nature, and
with these had his fin tion and circum stances corresponded, what would he not have been! There is something, however, sublime in the contemplation of a great mind struggling with fortune, and Hercules-like, shaking off the calamities he has sent to subdue it.
In early life Col. Hay came to America without education, without property or friends. During our Revolutionary War he soon and long distinguished himself in the department where he was stationed as an active, interprising and able officer. And since the establishment of our State, his influence in our public councils for a considerable number of years, has been predominant beyond a parallel. As a politician his views of public affairs were marked with an amplitude of thought that spoke the man of prospect and profound sagacity.

ATTENTION!! Those persons that will purchase the GENUINE PATENT FAMILY MEDICINES OF RICHARD LEE & SON MUST APPLY TO Mr. Daniel Rapine, Capital Hill, Wash- ington, & Dr. John Qu, George- Town.
An ounce of prevention is worth pounds of cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore.
This medicine has, for eight years past been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the Inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the Southern part of the U. States, particularly in Balti- more, Philadelphia, Richmond, Norfolk, Edin- burgh, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of patients in each of these places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this factory remedy has, under Providence, pre- served their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pomp- ous eulogy founded on mere assertion. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the Inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills taken once every two weeks, during the early stages of those disorders, 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, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off the morbid bile, and prevent its morbid secre- tion, to restore and expand the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby pre- vent colds, which are often of fatal conse- quence, a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are cele- brated for removing habitual costiveness— sickness at the stomach and fevers here as be- fore, and to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficient in preventing and curing disorders attend- ant on long voyages, and should be procur- ed and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
Lee's Infallible Fever and Ague Drops, For the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the best and every other medicine have proved ineffectual. Not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally pre- vail, which, unless early attended to, and speedily removed, injure the constitution ex- ceedingly, bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints of the most dan- gerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial, have been found either dangerous or useless. The being a very universal remedy made use of; but being a very unfeigned medicine, and sel- dom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; children and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. A preparation which for pleasantness, ease, safety, and expedition, gives place to no ap- plication whatever; free from mercury, or any pernicious ingredient.
Lee's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Which have within seven years past cured up- wards of one hundred thousand persons of both sexes of every age and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms and from obstructions or tumours in the stomach and bowels—they are perfectly safe and pleasant, and may be given to the youngest infant or the most delicate pregnant lady with propriety.
Lee's Genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident.
Tooth Ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
Genuine Persian Lotion. So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and free from corrosive and repellent materials. (the five other lotions) and in particular efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes of every kind, particular- ly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scuffs, ratters ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c.
Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A. Sice and effectual remedy for Acute Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumba- go, Rheumatics, White Swellings, Chibbina Sprains, Bruises, Pains in the face and neck, &c.
