HOLLAND.
Speech of M. Shimmelpennick, at the opening of the session of the States General.
"High and mighty Lords!"
"For a long time have our countrymen felt the necessity of preventing, by the introduction of a new order of things, the downfall of the tottering edifice of the state. The necessity was so generally felt and in so lively a manner, that I deem it superfluous and unfit to enlarge upon a truth universally acknowledged; but it is this general conviction which holds to us the rule by which we are to measure the hope which the nation has again recovered, and the expectation which it grounds upon our exertions."
"The burthen which we take upon ourselves, and the most troublesome and painful part of which is to fall upon me, is heavy."
"The difficulties in which the state is involved, are manifold and great; the first proof of our courage will be, to dare to contemplate those difficulties, such as they actually exist; the second, not to despair of conquering them, that is to say of the salvation of our country."
"In my opinion it would be little consistent with that calm impartiality and unshaken integrity which must be esteemed in a government, to ascend in any manner, either to the nearer or to the more remote causes to which we have to impute the present situation of our country."
"I deem this the more repugnant to wisdom and equity, because, whatever partial inconveniences may have arisen from individual misapprehension, prejudices, or actions, yet the main force of our disasters is by no means to be looked for in our bosom, but in causes entirely without us, and quite independent of us."
"Our country could not fail by its situation and relations, deeply to partake of the great events which have changed the whole face of Europe; and the powerful impulses which have shaking the great bodies situated around us, must naturally cause a sensible agitation in our contracted country. And ought we, then, to continue searching into our entrails, or rendering the wounds of our state more incurable, bosom; a search, the result of which would always be exposed to different judgments, always lead to dangerous reproaches, and would always be made adverse to a conciliation."
"No, High and mighty Lords, let us leave the causes, and let us only view the wounds clearly; solely with intention to heal them; and permit me, who am now placed at the head of the government, to point out the means, and on this solemn occasion, to state to your high mightinesses, the principles by which I shall regulate my administration, and which I deem the most proper for securing our political existence, abroad, and our tranquility at home."
"Among the great acts, which I imagine a wise nation expects of us, I principally have the following before my mind:"
"In the first place, the putting an end to the state of uncertainty with respect to our internal government, which has long since tried and fatigued the people, and which would have terminated in despair & dissolution."
"In the second place the improvement of the finances of the country, brought to the brink of absolute ruin, by the consequences of internal troubles and of ruinous war."
"And lastly the embracing and maintaining a firm political system, calculated according to the situation of Europe, and fit to inspire our allies with confidence, our friends with good will, and our enemies with awe."
"When we shall have attained the two former objects, the latter, as far as depends on us, and not on events out of our power, will be easily attainable, provided we only take care that we (always keep in mind the great changes which have taken place in Europe, and in our relations with our neighbors) do convince all nations which surround us, that our welfare and prosperity can never be detrimental to theirs, and that they may fully depend upon our good faith in fulfilling our engagements."
"In order to restore the solidity and energy of our internal government, I deem nothing more fit than an unchangeable attachment to the holy principles of justice; the doing equal justice to all without the difference of rank or opinions; the restoring the necessary vigor to the laws, and the requisite authority and the ancient respect to all the lawful authorities; homage
to talents, bravery and merit; every possible indulgence to misapprehension; inexorable rigor to misdeeds."
"The restoration of the finances of the country will be our most laborious branch. Can you deem it necessary High and Mighty Lords, that a melancholy picture thereof should be exhibited to you on this occasion? or is that said truth not sufficiently known, that all the present ordinary revenue of the state is hardly sufficient to pay the interest of our debts? and can it, after this be required to add anything, to make you feel the grievous state of our finances?"
"Without efficacious remedies there is no possible salvation from so great an evil; and all the authority granted by the constitution to the executive powers, is absolutely necessary to arrive at these great measures, which since the origin of the republic, at various periods have always been desired by great statesmen, and recommended by some; but constantly frustrated by the clashing of the powers, and the eternal opposition either of prejudice, or of mean self interest, oftentimes badly understood."
"By those efficacious remedies High & Mighty Lords, I do not by any means aim at a violation of our engagements. As little do I aim at an order for new & extraordinary imposts. These would in my judgment, either be politically impracticable, or end in a general emigration of all who can emigrate, and in a total corruption of those remaining behind. And therefore they shall never make a part of the measures which will be proposed to your High Mightinesses in the course of my administration."
"The measures I aim at High & Mighty Lords, consist on the one hand, in the introducing a much greater simplicity in the branches of administration, and in making very considerable savings; and, on the other hand principally, in introducing a new system of general taxation."
"This system, operating uniformly according to the relative abilities of the inhabitants in the different districts, will be able very considerably to increase the resources of the country, as well by its simplicity as by the certainty of the receipts. This increase united with the saving of the expenditure, will enable the public treasury regularly to answer all ordinary and when war, or other evils, require extraordinary expenses, they will be raised by such means as will be found the least pressing upon the public."
"It is towards these important objects that I wish to draw the attention of your High Mightinesses, and in the completion of which I expect the most earnest assistance from your wisdom and patriotism; and in the accomplishment of which, I cannot but think the people will, in a great measure, re-establish the former state of affairs."
"I think what I have advanced is sufficient for the present; but perhaps your High Mightinesses, perhaps the nation, have a right to examine and consider upon the measures I intend to adopt for the redress of their grievances, and the renewing of their prosperity."
"It is needless to say a single word respecting my inclination and resolution to sacrifice what is most dear to me, in order to accomplish so desirable an object. This very Hall, Paris, Amiens, and London, can testify my love and zeal for my country."
"I have no doubt of succeeding in these undertakings. My hopes are founded on Providence, whom I adore, and whose care and protection we have so often experienced."
"On the calm reason and sound judgment of the nation; on that valor which ever distinguished them; on their good faith, honor, and inward conviction, depends this last attempt to re-establish their happiness."
"It likewise depends on the assistance, and concord in opinion, of your high mightinesses; on the wisdom of your resolutions; on the power of your examples; and on the firmness of your courage; objects in which I cannot be disappointed, if I have acquired any knowledge of mankind."
"Finally, it depends on our love for our country, and the great promises I have of the assistance of the great Napoleon, that extraordinary genius, who is admired both by friends and foes, who after having caused a change in the affairs of France, which will a be subject of wonder and astonishment to future ages, has obtained the greatest influence over us, as well as over several other nations, of whose friendship I have the greater reason to boast, because it was obtained by never swerving from truth, or rectitude in all my words, my ca-
tions, or even in my thoughts, which his penetrating eye read in the deepest recesses of my heart."
"Notwithstanding these hopes, I am not certain of attaining my end. The book of futurity is shut to yourselves as well as to me. As for myself, I shall never quit my object, till I have used every possible effort in my power to attain it; I shall never quit it dishonorably. May Heaven avert all disappointments, may its blessings crown our labour with success, and re-establish the nation in its former flourishing state and happiness."
LONDON, May 15.
POLITICAL REVIEW.
Since our last publication, several mails and messengers have arrived from the continent, but nothing has transpired to warrant the hope, expressed at the opening of the present session of Parliament, of a continental connection. Dispatches received by government, and the Russian Ambassador, are stated to bring the ratification of the treaty which has been so long negotiating between this country and the Emperor Alexander. The ratification of a treaty may sound very well, but we want something more than names set to an agreement. We want to see substantial assurances of action, and in that respect we much fear that we shall be disappointed, if there be any weak enough to entertain such hopes.
So delusive is the prospect of a continental war, that we learn from letters, dated Hague, the 6th instant that Bonaparte's new title of King of Italy has been recognized by the emperor of Austria. Indeed if anything were wanting to prove the conscious security in which our mortal enemy reposes, and the contempt with which he considers our endeavours to form a Continental confederacy against his gigantic power and his unbounded ambition, it might be found in his present visit to his Italian dominions.
He leaves the care of his good people of France to his military banditti; he smiles at the chance of insurrection, and proceeds by easy journies with all the testimonies usually paid to a beloved and venerated sovereign through the cities and towns of his empire.
At Lyons, Grenoble, Geneva and Turin, he is hailed with triumphal honors; he graces his train with the abject presence of the successor of St. Peter, who is now literally what he was before but figuratively servus servorum ; he creates Princes and Princesses; he overawes the Court of Vienna; terrifies that of Naples; and all this he does with as much indifference as if not only he had nothing to apprehend from Russia, but as if even an alliance, defensive and offensive, had been cordially concluded between him and the Emperor Alexander.
So well is he served in his absence, that expeditions are undertaken, and his fleets put to sea without what was formerly thought indispensable, his special instructions, or his personal superintendence. He waits, no doubt, with impatience, the moment when the grand attack upon our coasts may be attempted, but he feels that in order to facilitate the execution of this formidable enterprise, he must weaken our naval force at home. To this conviction we may justly attribute the late attack upon our West India Islands, and the sailing of the combined fleet from Cadiz which is certainly destined to execute some act of colonial aggression. He attacks us in the extremities, for the purpose of striking a fatal blow at the heart of the British empire. But although he has calculated on the precarious system of blockades, and on the ultimate contingency of having a superior force at sea, he has not taken into his account the spirit, the magnanimity, the numbers of the British people, to whom death would be preferable to the yoke of a foreign tyrant. The season is now at hand, when the grand flotilla at Boulogne will resume all its activity, and when Bonaparte will himself, after his Italian coronation, preside over its movements. The vast number of small craft that compose it continues to increase, and the army of England, on the opposite coasts, as it is ostentatiously called, has of late been considerably reinforced. In proportion as the enemy augments the means of aggression, we are confident the country will not be wanting in adding to its resources, and confirming its patriotism. Government is well aware of the policy of Bonaparte; if his majesty's ministers once thought an invasion likely to be attempted, surely this sentiment must derive new weight from the present relative state of naval affairs between the two powers; they ought therefore, to act with a promptitude and vigor adequate to the crisis; they have at their
disposal a great and effective force; and should it be necessary, they will in addition to the regular volunteer army, by calling out the Levy-en-Masse, put into activity the whole strength of the nation.
NEW HAVEN, (Conn.) July 2.
COMMUNICATION.
On Wednesday last the ship Mohawk, owned by Gad Peck, and Smith, Woodward and Co. arrived in port. The Mohawk, bound from Martinico to New York, by the way of St. Thomas, with a valuable cargo, principally sugars, was captured on the 7th of April, by a British frigate, carried into Tortola, and condemned as a lawful prize.
Her sentence of condemnation was grounded on an order of the Court of St. James, issued on the 24th of January, 1805, "directing the commanders of their ships of war, and privateers, not to seize any neutral vessels, which shall be carrying on trade directly between the Colony of the enemy and the neutral Colony to which the vessel belongs, and laden with the property of the inhabitants of such neutral colony," &c. — leaving the commanders of the British ships of war and privateers to imply an order to capture, and the Vice Admiralty Court an authority to condemn, provided the neutral vessel was bound to any other neutral colony than the one to which she belonged.
The evidence exhibited before the Vice Admiralty Court, to prove that the Mohawk was bound in fact from Martinico to St. Thomas, with a view of selling her sugars, &c. there, was derived principally from letters which captain Peck had written to his owners, advising them of the reduced prices of American produce at Martinico, and of his intention to leave his cargo of sugars and proceed to St. Thomas; and then to return to Martinico, receive the avails of his outward bound cargo and proceed to New York. These letters were intercepted by the British privateers, and lodged in the hands of the agent of the captors at Tortola.
In the mean time the rise of American produce at Martinico, and the danger apprehended from the English fleet which was expected soon to hover around the island, induced captain Peck, to abandon his former designs, to sell his cargo, receive its avails, and return to New York. His object in touching at St. Thomas was merely to settle an account respecting a quantity of corn meal previously deposited there for sale.
The order of the British government is so extravagant in itself, and so extensively injurious to the mercantile interests of the United States in its consequences, that it deserves some attention.
The laws of nations require nothing of neutrals, when others are at war, but strictly to observe their neutrality. If a neutral power supplies one of the belligerent nations with provisions, and denies them to the other, it would plainly be a breach of neutrality; because the neutral power acts the part of an ally in supplying the wants and strengthening the hands of the former, and the part of an enemy in withholding the same aid from the latter.
But the government of Great Britain do not pretend in their order that the United States were carrying on trade contrary to the right enjoyed by neutrals. They say, "In consideration of the present state of commerce, we are pleased hereby to direct," &c. The reason of the order, if there is any beyond the will and the power of those who conceived it, seems to be founded on the idea that the exportation of the produce of a French island to a neutral colony, rather than the one to which the vessel belongs, will promote the interests of the French nation, by opening a wider market for the produce of the French colonies, and consequently by increasing its demand, and enhancing its prices. But will not the same reason extend with equal force to the prohibition of neutrals to trade directly from an enemy's port, in any and every part of the enemy's empire to their own? And have not the government of Great Britain the same right to prohibit this branch of commerce as the other whenever they please? And if it be true that this is a right of the British government, have not the French and Spanish the same right on the same principles, to pursue the same course whenever they please! — The consequence is that the commerce of the United States must be mostly confined to our own coast, or our property exposed every moment to the depredations of the belligerent powers. A situation far more deplorable than a state of actual hostility.
The government of the United States certainly have it in their power at present, to command a free trade. Whether they entertain a disposition to exercise their power, may indeed admit of a reasonable

It certainly would not be for the interest of Great Britain to suffer a moment's suspension of the commercial intercourse between that country and the United States, than to submit implicitly to the commercial regulations of any foreign power.
Tortola, says captain Peck, is a nest of pirates. During the 60 days that I remained there, not a single vessel arrived for the purpose of trade, but many to receive, their final doom. The inhabitants are poor, miserable, indolent beings, live in mere cottages, and riot upon the spoils of American commerce.
The officers of government are singularly ingenious in devising means to charge exorbitant commissions, &c. insomuch that an honest man will almost consent that his vessel and cargo shall be condemned rather than see her plundered under the color of law and right.
NEW-YORK July 8. Arrived, brig Virginia, Taylor, 29 days from St. Jago de Cuba. Left, 16 American vessels, prizes, all previously noticed, excepting the Schooner Harriot, Williams, of New-York, captured off Cape Francois, and carried in on the 10th June; also, not prizes, ships John, Langford, for Baltimore; Fanny, Kitchen, of Philadelphia; brigs Hero, Muirhead, N.

From appearances, she had not been long in that situation; she had a white pot up, a tallow bottom, and no person on board.

Left there the ship George Washington Farris, of and from Philadelphia, discharging; ship Columbus, Dixon, do. to sail in ten days for home; Hebe, Pearl, Baltimore; Mary and Eliza, White, Salem; Alknomac, Henry, Boston; Weymouth, Rich, of do. to sail in fifteen days — Juno, Beets, of do from Batavia; Asprea, Stanwood of do from Batavia, condemned, not sea worthy; Indus, Myrick, do. do. do; Swedish ship Pelec, for Boston, to sail in fifteen days.

BALTIMORE, July 11. A letter from Glasgow says, "trade has been very brisk for the last month, hands are very scarce, and wages have got up; the manufactures of this place and vicinity have been exported to a great extent, particularly to America and the West Indies. Since Louisiana came into the possession of the United States of America, our demands for that country have increased rapidly; and with the importation of raw materials for our manufactures, such as cotton, asbest, indigo, &c. Great quantities of Gold and silver specie have been imported both here and at Liverpool, London &c. from America, within the last twelve months, to the amount it is supposed, of three or four millions of dollars."
By every account from Spain, and the different ports in the Mediterranean, it has been very clearly ascertained, that the same disease which appeared at Malaga, was communicated to the following places on the coast of Spain and the Mediterranean: Cadiz, St. Mary's, Algesiras, Velez, Malaga, Province of Grenada, Alicante, Cartagena, Leghorn and Ragusa, in the Gulph of Venice, all the intermediate towns and country totally escaping; a strong proof that it could not proceed from any general state of the atmosphere. It was also carried to the Spanish fort of Alhucema, opposite Malaga, on the coast of Africa, where it destroyed most of the garrison, and the convicts who are kept there. From Malaga it spread inland to Antequera, 15 miles distant, where half the inhabitants perished by it, and it even spread to the city of Grenada, sixty miles N. E. from Malaga; luckily, however, so late in the season, that only between two and three thousand died of it.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, JULY 12.
A gentleman, who resided some time at Rotterdam, and left that city on the 1st May, says the French exercise a severe tyranny over the poor Batavians. A French brig is stationed near the Briel, which detains every ship going to, or coming from England under neutral colors. A Dutch brig is also stationed in company with the French, but merely for form sake. The French brig sends on board the ships a French commissary with a gens d'armes, and four or five soldiers to take possession of the ship. The captain of the neutral vessel, and all the passengers, are ordered on board the French ship, where their pockets are searched, and any letters or papers found upon their persons are taken from them. On board the detained vessels they break open all the trunks and boxes belonging to the passengers. They visit and search every part of the ship where they think it possible any merchandise or manufacture can be concealed, and cut open or damage the decks, without any regard to the injury which they inflict, or intent to make reparation, though their suspicions prove unfounded. The passengers are treated personally in the most rude and impertinent manner, and, after the search, are frequently detained several days, when the visit is repeated, sometimes twice, and perhaps thrice, under the idea that after the first search the passengers would be off their guard, and practice no further concealment. All this rigor and severity are exercised in the presence of the Batavian brig, which dares not interfere, and is thus obliged to give the sanction of its country to the violence and rapacity of the French marauders. The only compliment paid to the Batavian brig is the formality required of the Captain and passengers to show their passports to the Dutch commander, and have them verified by him. The French do not permit the Dutch fishermen to go further than a short distance from shore to sea, and oblige them to return within a given time, lest they should give information to the English. Patrols of French cavalry traverse the coast and shore, constantly at night, to prevent a boat or skiff from slipping to sea.
GIBRALTAR. General Fox is extremely assiduous in adopting every measure for preventing the appearance of the late horrible pestilence here again.
All the bedding that had been in use by the troops was this day thrown into the sea, and two clean blankets issued to each man in the room of it, but no other bedding is to be given to the troops till the summer has passed without the fever appearing again.
A few days ago the house of an inhabitant, who had neglected to whitewash and purify it, agreeably to the late proclamation, was surrounded by a party of the troops, and burnt to the ground as an example to others.
The disease broke out at Algesiras, a town five miles from this, on the opposite side of the bay, about a month after it began here, where, however, it was soon put a stop to by the activity of the Spanish general, cutting off all communications with the infected houses, not above one hundred dying of the disease, though it is a larger town than Gibraltar.
The fever never made its appearance at St. Roque, or at the Spanish lines, only a mile from the garrison, and it was universally reckoned to have been the healthiest season ever known in all the neighboring country.
From the Connecticut Courant.
On the Use of Ardent Spirits in Summer Harvest.
Throughout the season of harvest, the careful and industrious farmer eats his bread in the sweat of his face. At this season especially, he must attend closely to his business and drive it with spirit. If he employs laborers, he finds it necessary to be with them as constantly as possible; directing their work and encouraging them to industry by his own example; and such severe toils as he himself and his laborers endure in the scorching heat of the sun and from the morning to the evening of the longest days, necessarily require a plenty of the most nourishing and strengthening food and drink.
It seems to be a prevailing opinion of late years, that rum is the staff of life for laboring people, especially in hot weather; and that they must take into their bowels large draughts of liquid fire, to guard them against the scorching heat of the sun! This is a false and pernicious notion. Men were strong to labor and could endure hard toils in the hottest weather, when rum was not known in the world.
It is said, that "the ancient Romans and Carthaginians supported the fatigues of laborious marches, in the warmest climates and seasons, and under a load of arms, which in some instances weighed sixty pounds, without any other liquor to allay their thirst, than vinegar and water."
What toils were endured by the first settlers of New-England—toils which could hardly be sustained by their descendants, of the present generation; yet they had neither rum nor brandy, nor whiskey. They had not even cider; their drink was Adam's ale, or simple water.
As if the people of the present age were under the operation of the hydrophobia, they seem, many of them, terribly afraid of water. A few persons have destroyed their lives by drinking large draughts of cold water, while they were heated; hence the silly conclusion is drawn, that it is dangerous in hot weather, to drink water, unless it be mixed with spirits: whereas for one life that has been destroyed by drinking water, a thousand, in all probability, have been destroyed (latterly in this country) by drinking rum, brandy and whiskey. Every well person that wishes for the continuance of his health, should make good water his principal drink. It is the wholesome beverage that nature has provided for all her children.
Yet would I not condemn the moderate and seasonable use of spirits: and none surely deserves or need them more than men who labor hard in the field during the summer months. A small quantity of spirits is a cordial to the heated and fatigued laborer, a large quantity enfeebles, and tends to destroy him.
Thirty years ago, half a pint of rum a day, was thought a plentiful allowance for a reaper or a mower. Now a reaper or a mower often swallows a quart of spirits a day. This is but little short of downright murder. It leads eventually to the destruction of health and life, as well as morals; and it diminishes the strength of the laborer, and disables him from performing the quantity of labor that he might otherwise easily do.
There is no real nourishment in ardent spirits: they operate as a stimulant, and (if taken plentifully) as soon as their stimulating force is spent, correspondent languor and weakness succeed; so that the system is reduced as much below its ordinary tone, as it had been raised above it. Therefore a plentiful use of spirits, however it may increase the exertions of the labourer, for a very short space; cannot fail to unfit him for a steady and persevering course of hard labor. And it is a well established fact, that the plentiful drinkers of rum, brandy, or whiskey, will not, nor can perform an equal quantity of labor for a whole month, or even a whole week together, to what men of the same strength are able to perform, who either make no use of those liquors, or use them very moderately.
Would it not be well for the substantial farmers of every town, to form themselves into societies and to establish regulations on this subject; agreeing together not to allow their labourers more than a specified moderate quantity of spirituous liquor, per day; meanwhile providing them liberally with palatable and nourishing drinks, as well as food? Does not the interest of farmers, the interest of mortality & of civil society, demand a measure of this nature?

They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholick, Colic, Catarrhs, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colds and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.—price 25 cents a box.

Polygraphick Painting.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON,
Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterised as an Ab-originial, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer,
"There is none more worthy than Washington." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glass—that while these prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of five beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced to as to leave, comparative merits, no object. Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery. Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS
Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12: executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple.
One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names. The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the United States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.
To be Rented, for One Year, (By the Subscribers)
A valuable Merchant-Mill, near the Little Falls of Potomac, with three pair French Burr Mill-Stones, and every necessary machine complete for manufacturing flour, to the best advantage, and with as little manual labor as possible. Also,
