[The following Address was written, and transmitted to Charleston, by a distinguished Member of the respectable Society of Friends, recently on a religious visit to this city, and now about to depart from New-York for her native land. We ardently hope, that the Inhabitants, to whom this solemn Address has been made, will give it their most serious attention, and that it may be the means of disclosing to them "the things which belong unto their everlasting peace," when they will no longer participate in the gigantic iniquity which now disgraces our common country, and which threatens to endanger its future peace and prosperity.] Philad. Pap.
AN ADDRESS
To the Inhabitants of Charleston, South Carolina.
SINGULAR as it may appear to many of you to be addressed by an unknown female, from a distant land, after this manner; I trust I am actuated therein by no other motives than the influence of that gospel love, shed abroad in my heart, which induces me, at times, with earnest solicitude, to crave the present and everlasting well being of all my fellow creatures. Impressed with these feelings, and an apprehension of duty, I have been engaged to leave divers of the nearest and tenderest connexions in life, for a season, to visit many of my friends, in religious profession and others on this continent, as my way opened. But not apprehending that I am required to pay you a personal visit (though I have felt my mind engaged on your behalf, in a very peculiar manner) I believe it right thus to call your attention to some considerations which have appeared to me awfully important, as they regard your real interests both in time and eternity. In passing along through some of the southern states, my mind has been painfully affected at the sight of numbers of my fellow creatures, of the African race, deprived of their natural liberty and of almost every means of improvement of those faculties bestowed upon THEM as well as ourselves for the noblest of purposes, by that all wise and bountiful Creator, in whom "we live and move and have our being;"* and who, we are told by the great apostle of the Gentiles, "hath made of one blood all nations of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation."† For any of us, his dependant creatures, to force them from the place thus appointed by a gracious and superintending Providence, appears to be an infringement on the order and economy of this part of his rational creation, for which the aggressors must be accountable at his awful tribunal, who is infinite in justice as well as in mercy. I lament—exceedingly lament, that a custom, so barbarous as well as so repugnant to every principle of humanity and justice, as the African Slave trade, should be continued in this or any other nation, and by involving them in the greatest of national crimes, lay them open to those national punishments, which must be expected, as a just retribution for the blood of thousands of those innocent people, which has long cried for vengeance, and whose cry has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabbaoth. What then must be the expectation of those who support this horrid traffic, by purchasing and continuing in slavery those who have never forfeited that right of liberty they derive, with ourselves, from the one Universal Parent? What, but "a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,"‡ when he standeth up to plead who hath declared that "for the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy he will arise,"|| who is undoubtedly able to deliver the oppressed from the hand of him that is mightier than he! While such also continue the profession of christianity, and are in the performance of what are deemed religious duties and ceremonies, may not these come under the same description as those spoken of by the prophet, when he says, "ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness."§
May all such, therefore, have their spiritual eyes so anointed, as clearly to discover that the fast which the Lord "hath chosen, is to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke: when thou seest the naked that thou cover him, and hide not thyself from thine own flesh: and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day."¶
That this may become the engagement and consequent experience of all those concerned in this unholy traffic, and of the
inhabitants of Charleston in particular, that so you may "break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor, if it may be a lengthening of your tranquility,"** and the means of awful, and I apprehend, impending judgments being averted, is the sincere desire of one who wishes health and salvation to the souls of all mankind.

From the Vermont Herald.
MR. ELLIOT to his Constituents.
LETTER X.
I AM accused of abandoning the principles of liberty, and of joining in a plot for the division of the Union. The charges are false, and the authors of them know them to be false.
Who are the real friends of liberty, of genuine, regulated liberty? Is the frantic revolutionist a more rational friend of freedom than a sullen monarchist? Is the man who advocates peace and Union to be considered as a disorganizer? But it is said that the federalists are all monarchists, and that the principles of republicanism and monarchy can no more be united, than oil and water can be mingled, or than the glare of day and the gloom of night can be amalgamated. A few years since my constituents were almost all professed federalists: I was myself a member of the little band who opposed, in this district, the administration of Mr. Adams. Should I dare to ask my constituents, were you, in 1798, when you supported federal candidates and federal measures, enemies to the rights of man, enemies to your own rights? They would instantly answer with indignation No—we have always been republicans. Is it then more than common charity to conclude that the immense majority of those who still profess the principles of federalism are also republicans? among the many thousands who have left the federal standard, how many have told us that they had been concerned in a plot for the destruction of liberty? Not one. Monarchical principles are confined to a few individuals in our country, and among those individuals may be placed some of our most ardent republicans!
It is said that the idea of a union of the people of the northern States in one great political interest must produce a division of the union: and those who say this look with perfect complacency upon the gigantic mass of influence which a similar union in the southern states has already created. In other words, to preserve the union, the southern states must be united as one man, and the northern must be divided and distracted. Miserable sophism! Absurd, foolish dogma! Let me here repeat that perfect union among ourselves would induce us to demand no more than our due share of political weight, which would then be yielded to us, and the union would be preserved, and even rendered more secure.
Various are the opinions of men of reflection in relation to the probable effects of the acquisition of Louisiana. Upon no subject have I found it more difficult to form an opinion for myself. Some believe that a commercial connexion will take place between the eastern and western states; that the people of New England will carry to those of the Mississippi, the production of all other parts of the world, and export for them their own productions; and that this commercial connexion will produce a political one, favourable to us, and unfavorable to the southern states.—Others argue that the inhabitants of the west will be a ship-building and agricultural people; that their vicinity to the West India markets will enable them to supercede us in some of the most profitable branches of our commerce; and that the idea of a political connexion with them, though splendid, is perfectly delusive. The prospect indeed is rather gloomy. But putting Louisiana out of the question, the number of representatives in congress to which the southern states are entitled, on account of their slaves must forever secure them a majority in the councils of the union. The slaves are not represented, but three fifths of them are added to the number of free persons, and this determines the number of representatives from the state. Were the slaves made free, we could not refuse, upon our own principles,
to allow them representatives; but deprived as they are, of all civil rights, and considered merely as property, it would be as just that the Vermont farmer should be entitled to a representation for his cattle, as the Virginia planter for his negroes.—No northern man who has caught a single spark of freedom's flame from the altar of patriotism, but must with that these things were not so. Such, however, is the constitution of our country, that sacred instrument, which I hope never to see violated in any of its essential principles; and as it is not to be expected that the people of the southern states will ever agree to an alteration fraught with ruin to their interest, it is to be hoped that the subject will not again be agitated.
We are continually told that there is no dissimilarity of interests between the people of the northern and those of the southern states. When we prove that clashing interests do exist, we are lulled to sleep by syren songs, and melodious eulogies upon southern magnanimity. We are told that our southern brethren will take better care of us than we could of ourselves. On this subject, the contempt with which northern representatives are treated, the attention paid to any measures which they propose, the attempts to extinguish the state balances, to abolish the loan offices, and to reject the Georgia claims, the additional duties upon commerce, the late alteration of the constitution, and the other alterations which are contemplated, speak a language more expressive than all the thunders of eloquence. As a dernier resort of the alarmists, we are told that the immortal Washington cautioned the people against those who should attempt to create geographical parties. He did so. He had in view the great and general interests of the nation, the constitution itself, and not those minor interests which exist in the very nature of things; for in the high character of president for the national convention, he had before told us that "the constitution is the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deference and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensable." If, however, the sagacious mind of Washington did not anticipate the present state of things that circumstance can form no argument against our accommodating our conduct to the events and prospects of the times.
It cannot be too often repeated that "man is man." Did the northern states possess power, their political system would probably be analogous to that which now governs the southern. But power is departed from us; and I hope that we shall never attempt to regain it by any other than honest means. The editor of the principal paper published at the seat of government, an honest and candid man, has not been able to conceal his exultation at the prospect of northern humiliation. Admitting that the northern states no longer possess political weight, he asks, with an air of triumph, "and why does the south rule the north? Because the south is united and the north is divided." I have just said the same myself. The North gives up and the South keeps not back. There are men who are less honest on this subject than the editor of the National Intelligencer. I am assured, from unquestionable authority, that it is part of the system of some young and ambitious politicians of the south, to add fuel to the flame of party spirit in the north, that they may divide and govern us as the Romans divided and governed the Greeks.
It may be arrogant in me to declare that the opinions which I now avow will one day command the universal assent of the people in the northern quarter of the union. But as I always make it a point to say what I think, I shall hazard the assertion.
If at a future day new parties should arise in our country, and we should be divided into northern men and southern men, instead of Federalists and Democrats, would any one doubt the propriety and patriotism of supporting the northern interest in all its constitutional and reasonable rights.—Should we be divided into large state and small state parties, would it be contended that the people of the north ought not to embrace the interests of the small states?—Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode-Island, and Connecticut, by an irrevocable law of nature, must always be small states. Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, though now small, will very soon be in the first class of large states. Hence the absurdity of the triumph of the friends of the late amend-
ment of the constitution, upon this unanimous adoption by the small states of the south and west. Should we be divided into a constitutional and anticonstitutional party, would any one censure a "union of honest men" for the purpose of preserving the constitution?—As well might it be contended that men of different political parties ought not to unite, to stop the progress of a destructive fire or inundation, or to repulse an invading enemy! And it requires no prophetic powers to predict the existence of all these different parties in our country, in a greater or less degree, within the course of a very few years.
Few individuals of the republican party suffered more, in their feelings at least; from federal persecution, than myself. I am willing, however, to sacrifice even my just resentments upon the altar of my country. But I will never sacrifice my principles. Some of those who claim the most violently against me at this moment, were federalists while federalism was fashionable. My constituents will remember that important fact when they hear the future declarations of those gentlemen. Others have changed. I remain unaltered. I repeat it, I advocate the northern union with a view to the preservation, instead of the destruction of the constitution. And I advocate it upon republican principles alone. I will oppose it whenever it is attempted to be established upon principles favourable to aristocracy or monarchy.
JAMES ELLIOT.
From the Gazette of the United States.
BRITISH TREATY. —We have been struck with some passages in an article which appeared in the Aurora on Monday last, upon the subject of our commercial intercourse with Great Britain. As to the reception which Jay's treaty met with among the democrats, from the highest to the lowest, we need not say a word; it is well known to every school boy. It is well known, that their first formal and vigorous denunciations of General Washington were grounded upon his consent to ratify that treaty, which, as they asserted, humbled us at the feet of Great Britain. About two years ago all the odious provisions of that treaty, namely, the last seventeen articles, expired by their own limitation, and the day of their expiration was hailed in the Aurora as another day of emancipation to this country, almost as important as the day upon which Washington retired from the chief magistracy. Now mark the sequel. The Aurora of Monday lays:
"We may conclude, from the following paragraph in a late London paper, which gives us the only information we have yet on this subject, that our minister at London [Monroe] has never yet suspended his negotiations for the formation of a treaty of commerce, and that it has terminated, not in the adoption of new commercial arrangements, but in agreement to CONTINUE the former treaty for one year."!!!
Here the reader is doubtless prepared for one of those volleys of democratic scurrility which would be sufficient to overwhelm poor Monroe, and render him the object of all that popular detestation which was wrought up against Mr. Jay. No such thing. The gentle writer, after a few comments upon the provisions of the treaty, proceeds:
"No insinuation is here intended to be conveyed, that our negotiator at London has not acted with the WISEST POLICY when he embraced this treaty. Rather than see all our vessels excluded from their ports [in the West-Indies] it was the wisest policy to consent that none over 70 tons should be admitted."
It is in vain to attempt a comment,—There are no words in our language adequate to express the abandoned profligacy which such conduct indicates. If the democrats possessed the least portion of either honesty or shame, such a triumph on our part would be worth enjoying. But we know them too well to expect that this detection of their hypocrisy will occasion any one of them a single blush. Indeed any one of their leaders, at the time they were bawling to the people to "kick the d—d treaty to h—l" would have felt no confusion in acknowledging, in private conversation, that the treaty was a good one, and that the object of the democrats in clamouring against it was merely to diminish the popularity of gen. Washington's administration.
One pitiful trick in the manner of announcing this new Treaty negotiated by Mr. Monroe, deserves notice. It is said that his

negotiations have terminated in "an agreement to continue the former treaty." To continue a treaty, which for two years, has had no existence! This will hardly answer to catch democratic gulls. No, the commercial treaty had expired, and left the two nations exactly in the same situation as though it never had existed; a new one was to be formed under the auspices of those who had burnt Mr. Jay in effigy, and denounced General Washington. What have they done? They have made a new treaty exactly in the same words. That's all.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, MAY 17. Yesterday, in the House of Commons, Sir William Rawlinson, and Mr. Albron Cox, Sheriffs of London, were put to bar, for the purpose of being reprimanded and discharged. The Speaker addressed them, and observed, that they had undergone an ignominious punishment, in consequence of their misconduct on the Middlesex Election, of which they were Returning Officers. He then recited that part of the report at the select committee which charged them with corruptly giving a colorable majority to Sir F. Burdett. He observed that they had been confined in a prison the receptacle for common malefactors, over which they had had controul. Thus they had furnished a memorable example to others, not to be guilty of similar misconduct. They were now humbled, and in consequence of the prayer of their petition, and the waning contrition for their offence, they were discharged on paying their fees. They then retired.
A motion has been made in the Commons, for the production of papers, with a view to unculpate the administration of Earl St. Vincent, while acting as First Lord of the Admiralty.
The length of the debate in the House of Peers on the Catholic Petition prevents our making room for matters of less interest. We must however state one piece of intelligence of which the public are not yet informed, and which is of the greatest importance. On Thursday last, about three o'clock, a special messenger arrived at the Secretary of State's Office, with the treaty that has been so long negotiating with the Court of Russia, sealed and signed in due form. This treaty is offensive and defensive, and some of the Northern Powers either are, or soon will be, parties to it. The public may now consider the war as only in its commencement. [Star.]
Count Morozow, the Russian Ambassador at this Court, also received dispatches on Thursday, brought by a Russian courier, of the same nature as those alluded to above.
Letters from Constantinople of the 12th ult. state that a treaty of alliance between Russia and the Porte is on the eve of conclusion.
The expedition under the command of Sir Eyre Coote will consist of the 8th, 21st, 24th, 32d, 38th, 62d, 22d, 72d, 81st, and 92d regiments, which are to rendezvous at Cork.
According to the latest accounts from Portugal, that Kingdom continues to enjoy the most perfect neutrality. The department of commerce had ordered a printed notice to be stuck upon the Exchange, desiring the Portuguese merchants and ship-owners to provide every ship and cargo with the necessary documents and bills of lading, in order to avoid giving any cause of suspicion to the Belligerent Powers.
It is now positively asserted that the Republic of Genoa including the Duchies of Parma and Piacenza, will be united with the Kingdom of Italy. The Queen of Etruria is arrived at Milan, and the marriage contract between her and Prince Eugene Beauharnois is also said to be in a state of great forwardness.
In the astronomical world we have continued discoveries. Another planet has been announced. And among other articles we are told that a Russian Philosopher has proposed to make the Balloon contribute to the extension of astronomical knowledge, by being capable, as he proposes, of supporting a great weight, and so of accommodating observers in the upper regions of the atmosphere. We cannot refuse to repeat what Bishop Wilkins is said to have replied to a Female upon a similar project. This worthy man, and among the founders of the Royal Society, expressed his belief that some future discoveries would reveal to us the means of visiting the higher regions of the atmosphere, if not of visiting the moon. The ingenious Lady asked him where he would stop upon the way. He replied, that he did not expect that question from a Lady who had built so many castles in the air, and who doubtless could find many of them to stop at. [Salon Reg.]

WASHINGTON, JUNE 15.
Will it be believed, that reports are in circulation, stating it to be the intention of certain of the democrats to set up Albert Gallatin as candidate for the office of President of the United States, at the next presidential election? Strange as this may sound, we have heard it repeated from several.
We have heard a report this morning, that dispatches of an unusually important nature from Louisiana, were received yesterday by our government. What they are has not yet transpired! perhaps we may be better able to inform our readers hereafter.
It is reported, that the Store ship of the United States, with Provision, &c. for our little squadron in the Mediterranean, has been captured by a Spanish Privateer. Altho' no official accounts have been received of this unfortunate event, yet there is too much reason to fear that the report is true, and believed by government, as orders have been given to prepare immediately a like quantity, of stores for the use of our brave tars in that sea, in order to prevent their suffering from the want of those said to be captured.
The democratic Governor of New York lately directed the Attorney general to prosecute a democratic printer for a libel. The jury threw out the bill when presented.
The Legislature of Rhode Island, lately in session, have rejected all applications for new banks.
Mr. Henry Preble, brother to Commodore Preble, brings important despatches for government, from our Minister, Mr. Armstrong, at Paris.

American Independence.
Those Citizens of Portland who have subscribed for the celebration of the FOURTH OF JULY, are notified that the Procession will be formed at WASHINGTON HALL, opposite Columbian Hall, at 11 o'clock, on said day, to proceed to the Rev. Mr. Kellogg's Meeting-House, where an ORATION will be pronounced by JAMES D. HOPKINS, Esq.—The procession will then return to the Hall, where a Dinner will be provided for those who have subscribed.
The subscription paper is still open at the Maine Five and Marine Insurance Office.
By order of the Committee. July 2.
From the West-Indies.
The latest news from the West-Indies, at this port is by capt. Stephenson, who arrived on Saturday last, in 18 days from Martinique. By him we have particular accounts of the arrival of the combined French and Spanish fleets, who had commenced their offensive operations against the English Islands. It appears that on the 3d ult. the English fort at Diamond Rock, surrendered to the French after a very obstinate engagement, in which (the French account) states the loss of the English at 52 men killed, and 35 French. Corroborative news of the above has been received at Norfolk.
In addition to the above, intelligence received by yesterday's mail states that accounts from Martinique, to the 19th June, have been received at New York. They state, that the combined fleet sailed from Port Royal the 5th June, for Gaudaloupe; and from Gaudaloupe, on the 8th, for Antigua, as was supposed:—The two frigates from the Ferral squadron had arrived; and which had left the squadron at sea; in a gale of wind:—And that no information had been received at Martinique, of the arrival of a British fleet at Barbadoes.
Capt. McLellan, also arrived at this port from Trinidad, states, that on the arrival of the combined fleets at Martinique, an embargo had been laid for 3 weeks, which was taken off in consequence of favorable reports from the other English islands, which account seems to corroborate the report of Lord Nelson's fleet, with reinforcements from England, having also arrived in the islands.—The Boston paper of Saturday last, contains the following article respecting Nelson's Fleet.
Capt. Hall, who arrived here, on Thursday, from the Mediterranean, informs that he came through the Straights of Gibraltar, the 6th May, in company with Lord Nelson's fleet of fifteen sail of the line, and parted company off Cape St. Vincent, on the 9th of May. If this fleet then stood for the West-Indies, it gives it 23 days to arrive at Barbadoes, to correspond with the reports, of its arrival there, the 1st June.
The vessel, at New-York, from Martinique, contradicts the account of the arrival there of a second French fleet.
We understand that Commodore Preble has instructions to build two small vessels in this port for the Mediterranean service. Two others are building under his direction in Newburyport.
Died,
In this town Mr Benjamin Adams, late of Gorham. "At Freyburgh, departed this life on the 15th inst. of a dropsical complaint, Miss Elizabeth Clement Fessenden, aged seventeen—daughter of the late Rev. and Hon. William Fessenden. An affectionate mother—loving brother and sister, with a numerous circle of friends and acquaintance, mourn the untimely exit of a youth, whose prospect was blooming as the rose to be eminently useful. She was a polished gem of virtue and religion."
"Our eyes the radiant saint pursue Through liquid telescopes of tears."
M'Fadden's accident.—While raising a barn for a Mr. Silver, in Rumford, on Thursday the 20th inst. Mr. Ebenezer Glines accidentally fell from the plate to the ground, which was 18 feet, and was bruised in such a manner, that he died on Saturday after. He was 23 years of age.
Mineral Spring.—There is in the town of Winchendon, in this state, a Mineral Spring, which has of late years been much resorted to, and is rapidly increasing in reputation.—The benefit which has been derived from it, has induced many to come from a great distance.—Convenient houses for bathing, &c. have been erected, and every attention is paid to strangers who may visit the spring for the recovery of their health.

THIRD QUARTER.
MR. RUGGLES, gratefully returns his thanks to those Ladies and Gentlemen who have honored him with the tuition of their children; and if he has by their manners and address gained the approbation of their parents, it is his highest ambition; but how far he has success, he rests his claim on general approbation.

Mr. RUGGLES also informs those young Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to attend his annual BALL, which will take place sometime in the month of October next, that he wishes to introduce several pieces of Fancy Dancing, for the display of that evening, which have never been taught in Portland. He is very confident that if these kinds of dancing are introduced, the people of this town will be highly gratified.
Private tuition will be given, if applied for. Ladies attended at their houses, on such hours as is most convenient for them to attend to it. Portland, July 1, 1805.

To the honorable the Senate and the honorable the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in general court assembled, June, 1805.
HUMBLY thew, the subscribers that the road as at present travelled from Portland to North-yarmouth is very circuitous, rough and rocky, and is incapable of being made a good road without great expense, than the town through which it passes will ever be able to account for. That it is the post road from Portland to Kennebec river and Wiscasset, and is generally much used with horses teams and carriages. That it is present direction it crosses Presumpscot river, at a place where the banks are so exceedingly steep that travellers are obliged to leave their carriages to descend and ascend the same. That a bridge may be built across the said river nearer the mouth thereof, which would diminish the distance from Portland to North-yarmouth, at least ten miles; and which would give a smooth, level road between the two towns, much to the advantage of the public at large, and the inhabitants of the District of Maine in particular.
Your petitioners therefore pray, that they and such as may be incorporated with like powers and privileges as have been granted to other proprietors of bridges, to erect and maintain a bridge, from Thompson's Point, on the eastern side of said Presumpscot river, to Mr. GIN's point on the western side thereof, or as near those points as may be found convenient. and that a reasonable toll may be established as in other cases of like nature—And as in duty bound will ever pray. ISAAC PARKER, and thirty-five others. Portland, May 14, 1805.

PATENT MEDICINES. IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS, or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective—Prepared by David Dennison, at his Dispensary, No. 231, Oxford Road, London. Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America.
THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experiment. It is greatly anticeptic and particularly effectual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully applied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder by irregularities; the secretions are gently promoted, and a plentiful perspiration produced; in complaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 3s. per Box.
WHEATON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS. THE successful effects of which have been fully experienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundice and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the sinking, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellowness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people; and also the dizziiness of the head, & weakness of sight. They are very useful for seamen to take often when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such climates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by removing obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 3s. per box.
WHEATSON'S ITCH OINTMENT. A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price 3s. per box.
DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS, For the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Bilious Disorders.
HAVE, by much experience, been found a valuable and efficacious Medicine, and are recommended to the public, as an effectual remedy to counteract the dangerous effects of common Colds on the system—to remove obstructed perspirable matter, and acrid and corrosive Humours, which cause Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Pains and Swellings in the Joints and Limbs—Cough, Asthma, &c. They are also particularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other obstructions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an excellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yellow fever at its commencement, by powerfully expelling bilious, morbid, and putrescent obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and cholicky pains in the stomach and bowels—eruptions from the face and skin—sweater and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—produce a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties—Many affidavits might be produced, showing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have, or may acquire is the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price 3s. per box.

POETRY.  From a London paper.  ANACREONTICK. AND now the sun, His journey done, To THE sky's lap did hie; And evening fair, With dewy hair; Came skipping up the sky.
Oppress'd with heat, I sought retreat, Beneath the willow shade; I loos'd my vest, And o'er my breast, Zephyrus wanton play'd.  Oh, lovely hours, When bliss o'er pow'rs, And feelings have no name; We languish, die, Unknowing why, Throughout the trembling frame.
Just so reclin'd, Attun'd my mind, To softest melancholy; My eyes half clos'd, To sleep dispos'd, And shut out goss and folly.
When at my heart, A tingling smart I felt, yet saw no blood— But at my side, In graceful pride, A lovely urchin stood!
So gaily smil'd This fancy child, I scarce could angry be; When "friend," he cries, "Come, prithee rise, "And try if you'll catch me."
With anger stung, A prattler young, Should on my rest intrude; I swiftly rose, But off he goes, And in flight pursued.
At last, at last— I caught him fast, He drew a hidden dart; My breast was bare, "Now have a care," He cried, and pierc'd my heart.
Then wild with pain, And foil'd again, I loos'd my foe with speed: "Thou fool," cries he, In wanton glee, "To follow Cupid's lead!"
An Irish gentleman yesterday at one of the Inns, on receiving his bill from the waiter, was sur- prised at perceiving that a charge for whiskey , fifteen shil- lings, made part of the contents. "By Holy Saint Patrick," vo- ciferated the honest Hibernian, "though I am not so low in behaviour, as to complain of your bill altogether, notwith- standing the items of it are big enough, of all conscience, yet by the place of my birth, the place of all others that I most admire, I am not to be tricked by pay- ing for an article, which, though uppermost in my with- es, I never had." This impas- sioned exclamation produced an interrogation from the astonish- ed waiter to ascertain the cause of it; to which the offended Hi- bernian replied, "whiskey, the devil a drop has been placed be- fore me! Och, had I knew you had got such a friend in the house I had taken him to my heart, and given him a welcome reception before this time. But d'ye hear, let the dear creature be intro- duced to me immediately; as it would be an offence to little Ire- land not to treat him with a fa- lute, even though we should nev- er meet before we parted." This produced an explanation, and the regretted whiskey turned out to be a CHASE only, in which the other had taken an airing the day before.—  Lon. Pap.
Remarkable Personage. —Don Joze Cordero Perierra, arrived in town last week from Portugal, on a visit to the Portuguese Am- bassador. This gentleman is 27 years of age, and 28 inches in height, elegantly formed. The Portuguese Ambassador's Charge d'Affaires raises the Don erect on his head, and carries him a- bout the house, and wraps him in a Spanish mantle whilst he conveys him from his Excellen- cy's hall to the carriage that brings him to his apartment in Hanover-street.
A mercenary sailor, on seeing the Spanish frigate blow up in the late engagement, with so many of the finners flying about, exclai- med that it was a dolorous fight .
A publican of Cork, a few days ago actually broached a bag- full of spirits with a red hot po- ker!—The blunder nearly cost him his life, as he was burnt by the explosion.
Improvement on mile-stones. —A traveller expressing how cheer- ing and comfortable the roads are made by means of mile-stones, suggests to the public, the great improvement that might be made, by placing them nearer each other.
