RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named  BOB,

He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. John Muir, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, February 15.
A mail from Hamburg arrived yesterday morning, the principal contents of which are given in another part of our paper. Respecting the preparations for the invasions of this country, we find little intelligence beyond that of which we were previously possessed. From the Hague it is stated, that some divisions of the Batavian troops, under the command of Generals Dumonceau, Cras, and Quatta, have received orders to march to the Texel, where a fleet of men of war and transports is collected for their conveyance to the English coast; while letters from Amsterdam say, that the expedition will not sail before the end of March, owing to the length of time that is requisite to collect the several flotillas at Boulogne, which, when complete, will consist of not less than 1500 vessels of different descriptions. This statement of the probable delay of the attempt may however, be intended merely for the purpose of deception, in order to put us off our guard; but if this be really the intention of our enemy, he will find himself completely disappointed in his object. We possess at present a proud and commanding station, from which neither the force nor the artifice of the enemy is capable of removing us; and come when he may, he will find us ready to give him the reception he merits. That every effort is making to render the hostile preparations still more formidable than they are at present, we have every reason to believe; and know, indeed that some time since orders were issued by the First Consul for the building, with all possible dispatch, of several hundred strong armed vessels, of a description similar to those lately captured by two of our frigates off La Hogue, and that near five hundred of them are already completed in the different ports of the Republic. To collect these at any given point will necessarily require some time, and if any further delay takes place it will we are persuaded, arise from this circumstance alone. Of the military movements in Holland, the following statement is given in an article from the Hague, of the 25th ult.
"A remarkable bustle and movement has within these few days been observed among the Batavian land forces intended to take a part in the expedition against the British Islands. Of the 16 battalions of Infantry which are destined for the expedition, and which had already been stationed at a greater or less distance around the Texel, seven of them are on their march, in order to draw nearer to that central point, two of them are in motion from Medemblicks and Hoorn to the Helder. One proceeds from Enkhuizen to Seagerburg; one from Mulden to Schagen; one from Amsterdam, and two from Harderwick for Alkmaar."
Fresh disturbances have broke out in Egypt, which, to all appearance, have been the effect of French intrigue. The Arnauts and Arabs are stated to have risen in rebellion, and taken possession of Alexandria; in consequence of which, all the foreign agents, except the French Commercial Commissioner, have left the place.—The latter circumstance alone affords sufficient ground of suspicion with respect to the part which the agents of France are now acting in that unhappy country; while the movements in Lower Italy, and on the shores of the Adriatic, leave but little doubt of the perfidious intentions of Bonaparte with regard to the Turkish Empire. We entertain a confident hope, however, that any attempts which the enemy may be induced to make, will be effectually frustrated by the indefatigable vigilance of our squadron in that direction.
From Hanover we learn that the French general not only continues, but almost daily increases, his oppressive exactions in that country. A new requisition of 1600 horses, and a quantity of great coats has been made, and an additional sum of 1,600,000 francs has been demanded for the use of the troops. The enemy are besides carrying off all the cannon from the different fortresses; and the whole country labours under the severest distress. Russia, as we have already stated, is by no means an inattentive observer of these and other similar proceedings in the north.—An immense military force is certainly collected on the frontiers of that empire, and the number of troops now ready to act, in case of necessity, is stated to exceed 200,000.
At a late hour, last night, we received a variety of extracts from the Paris Journals to the 26th ult. We find by these, that the Minister of Marine has returned to Paris from the coast, which he appears to have very minutely inspected. It was reported that the First Consul proposed to set out once more from the capital on the 25th,
while other accounts said that his departure would be further delayed for two or three weeks. On the 22d a Deputation of the Legislative Body did homage to Bonaparte and his Lady, after which the Consul reviewed the troops, and presented colours to some Italian and other regiments. Some of the former have marched for the coasts for the purpose of being employed in the expedition against England. From Brest and the other ports, there is no news worthy of notice.
Dispatches were yesterday received at the Admiralty office from Admiral Cornwallis, off Brest, dated the 8th instant, at which time he had just been joined by the Minotaur, of 74 guns, and the San Josef, of 112 guns, all well.
February 16.
Another Hamburg Mail arrived yesterday, but it is not so late as that arrived on Tuesday, and contains no news of importance. We find no mention of the levy of 80,000 men, said in letters from Stockholm to have been ordered by the Emperor of Russia.
February 17.
A letter from a naval officer belonging to one of our cruisers off the Dutch coast, states, that on Sunday last a hundred and fifty gun-boats were distinctly counted in the port of Flushing; and that, according to the information derived from some fishermen, the troops in the neighbourhood of that place amounted to about 30,000, numbers of whom daily embarked on board the boats and transports by way of exercise; but in these manoeuvres the flotilla never ventured beyond the reach of the land batteries. Several of the Dutch towns are crowded with Frenchmen, who are employed as spies upon the conduct of the unfortunate inhabitants; and other advices, which reached town yesterday, state, that the latter are obliged to purchase permission to pass certain prescribed boundaries, while the former are under no restraint whatever.
We are happy to say, the report of the Prince of Wales's health yesterday was "his Royal Highness is perfectly recovered."
Mr. Fox we understand has been with the Prince of Wales every day since Monday last.
The decision of the Judges in the case of Astlett, was yesterday delivered at the Old Bailey, by Mr. Baron Hotham. It is against the prisoner. He will be transported.
February 18.
At a late hour last night we received a variety of extracts from the Paris Journals to the 31st ult. They contain no intelligence of importance. They mention the march of the cavalry from Compeigne for Boulogne; and the conviction of a few persons accused of having contrived some curious instrument for the destruction of the First Consul. This plot is, as usual, attributed by the Moniteur to English agency.
The latest accounts from our squadron off Boulogne state, that the Leopard, Leda, Immortalite, Squirrel, Locust, Archer, Dutchess of Cumberland and Griffin cutters, remained at anchor close off Boulogne harbor the whole of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and almost all Wednesday. They observed that the addition of force at Boulogne of late has been very considerable. There are upwards of 120 sail of brigs, schooners, &c. exclusive of gun boats, in all not less than 800 sail.—The principal part have moored up the harbour into the different new basons which have been made.
On Sunday the Immortalite, Dutchess of Cumberland, and Griffin cutters, attacked some gun boats between Cape Grisnez and Boulogne, on their way to the latter. A severe fire was kept up from the batteries on shore upon our vessels, but without doing them any injury. The Immortalite shot away the mast of one of the gun boats.
For upwards of an hour on Wednesday morning our squadron was becalmed. The enemy perceived it, and a fire was lighted on the heights, which was supposed to be a signal for attack. Great bustle was immediately perceived, and the pier head was crowded with soldiers, and others dragged out gun boats to attempt the attack on our squadron, for which they considered the circumstances as favourable. A breeze springing up, however, they again returned into harbour.
At break of day on Wednesday last a prodigious volume of smoke was observed from several parts of the coast for four hours, in the direction of Boulogne, and at intervals the horizon above that place seemed to be entirely illuminated.—This phenomenon has given rise to various conjectures, and it is supposed that it was occasioned by a conflagration of the enemy's flotilla, which by some means or other had caught fire. It is reported also, that some of the French troops have laid down their arms, and that the utmost
distrustion prevails along the whole coast. The poor deluded wretches who compose the French army destined for the expedition against this country are, it is said, sunk in despondency, and have lost all hopes of being able to effect a landing; they are so closely watched by our blockading squadron, the command of which are certainly entitled to the highest praise for their perseverance, having remained at anchor close to Boulogne during so tempestuous weather.
Yesterday morning there was some firing off Calais, and a prize was brought into Dover in the afternoon.
It is calculated that the enemy's naval equipments at Boulogne will contain upwards 60,000 men, and it is the opinion of most of the officers in the squadron in the Downs, that the enemy will immediately attempt something, if they ever intended any thing.
Corn Exchange, February 17.
Wheat is here to day in good supply, from the recent reductions, and further expected, sales are made only for that in immediate request, which is a trifle lower; the fine Dintze 57s. Barley and Malt at a little variation in price; new Beans are rather cheaper; Oats are in good plenty, with some foreign cargoes, and many expected, this article has somewhat better sale to day. Flour is plentiful.
Wheat 25, 35, a 5s. Fine ditto 52 a 53s. Rye 28 a 31s. Barley 18 a 23s. Fine Flour 37 a 40s. Seconds 33 a 37s.
DOVER, February 17.
This morning, very early, we heard distinctly, the firing of guns seemingly in the direction of Calais; and this afternoon the Squirrel frigate anchored in the roads, with a feucht fitted up for horses. She was one of 24 sail bound to Boulogne. The signal has been hoisted, and we learn that 70 sail of gun boats and transports were endeavoring to go along shore from Flushing to Boulogne, but our cruisers have obliged them to take shelter in Calais. Some heavy firing has been heard, and the Squirrel has received a cannon shot through her cutwater, but no other damage. Just arrived, the Phoenix sloop, having lost anchors and cables off Broadstairs; part of our ships are blockading the gun boats in Calais—the rest are off Boulogne. Sailed for the Downs the Champion frigate, the Squirrel, the Speculator lugger, and a cutter.
This morning arrived the Hamburg Mail due on Sunday last. The following are its principal contents.
PARIS, Jan. 25.
The First Consul has frequent conferences with his brother in law, General Murat, now Governor of Paris. Who will be appointed in his stead to the chief command of the Italian army is as yet unknown.
The late Commander here, General Juntas, is arrived at Arles, where he has assumed the command over the Legion d'Elite. It is to consist of 6000 infantry, 1500 cavalry and 500 of artillery.
The Moniteur states, that the English prisoners of war arrived at Morlaix, have declared that in late storms above three hundred merchant vessels have been wrecked on the coasts of Ireland and Scotland.
January 27.
All the generals who are to have command in the expedition against England are preparing to set out for the coast in a few days. They immediately embark on board the Flotilla, and every thing will be held in readiness to get under sail the first favorable wind.
It is said that Donon, the director of the Museum, who accompanied Bonaparte to Egypt, will likewise accompany him in his new journey.
It is asserted in the Moniteur, that the captain Pasha, who lately died at Constantinople, was a great admirer of Bonaparte, and that the present Captain Pasha, Cadir Bey, shewed many particular civilities to colonel Sebastiana in his journey to Egypt.
The Italian division sets out this day for Boulogne.
The general of brigade Merle now in the territory of Hanover, is appointed a member of the Legion of Honour.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 2.
Advices have been received from the Pasha of Janina, that an adjutant of general St. Cyr had arrived in the Morea, with letters of recommendation from that general. He appears to have observed and inspected every thing in the Peninsula. The object of his journey, as he says, is to purchase Turkish horses in the Morea for the use of the French army.
The Neapolitan Charge d'Affaires at the Porte has given in the Turkish government several written communications relative to the state of affairs in Italy and its vicinity.
Official accounts have been received from Egypt, that the Bays, after stipulating for certain privileges, have at length agreed to the convention proposed by the Turkish government; by which the possession of Alexandria and Egypt is, at least for a time, secured to the Porte.
MENTZ, Jan. 31.
The day after to morrow we expect here the fleet of gun boats destined for Flushing; they are built on an entirely new construction. The two regiments of cavalry now here wait for remounts from the territory of Hanover.

MILAN, Dec. 13.
This morning a great transport of arms, &c. sent by a detachment of buffaloes, set out for the Neapolitan territory, where are the head-quarters of the 2d division of Italian troops.
VENICE, Jan. 20.
The pope has entered into a negotiation for a concordat with the court of Etruria. The French envoy at Florence, general Clark, has directions to favour the proposal. The concordat with the Italian republic will be taken for its basis.
HAGUE, January 31.
Last Saturday we heard a heavy cannonade from Flushing; and it was conjectured that the enemy had made an attack on our flotilla. The Marine Council immediately sent off an officer to make inquiry, who however returned on the following day with advice that it was only occasioned by a grand manœuvring of 40 vessels, with which Admiral Verheul had sailed out of the road. As there are now such a number of ships at Flushing, General Monnet has increased the measures of precaution to prevent the vessels from being set on fire, either by negligence or the emissaries of the enemy.
More than one hundred vessels from the interior canals of the republic, are expected soon to join the flotilla at Flushing.
The late minister of justice, Tadama, is appointed chief of the police at Amsterdam.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 31.
In the representation of the Directory, relative to the new contributions of forty millions, the general poverty and distressed state of the country is portrayed in the strongest terms; with respect to the contributions, it is expressly asserted that the persons in our republic who have property to the amount of a million of flons, is about 200.
MADRID, January 16.
On Friday in the afternoon, the 13th instant between five and six in the evening, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt here, which occasioned the more alarm, as this phenomenon is almost totally unknown here. The direction of the shock was from North to South. A shock nearly similar was felt here at the time of the earthquake at Lisbon, and it is probable this has been much more considerable in some other country.
[This earthquake, on the 13th of January, it will be recollected was felt at several places on the coast of Holland.]
MALAGA, January 11.
We are yet more certain that our city is entirely free from disease, and the health of the inhabitants completely restored. The accounts of the ravages made by the distemper have been greatly exaggerated; the number of persons who have fallen victims to it is 5280.
NEW YORK, March 16.

SATURDAY, MARCH 24.
Yesterday Mr. William Harper was elected to supply the vacancy in the council occasioned by the resignation of James Keith, Esq.
On Wednesday last, Mr. Nicholson, from the committee of Ways and Means, presented a bill further to protect the seamen and commerce of the United States against the Barbary powers.
The bill provides that an additional duty of two and half per centum be laid upon all imported goods at present charged with a duty ad valorem, and an additional duty of ten per cent. on all such duties payable on goods imported in foreign vessels. The proceeds of these duties are to constitute a fund, to be called the Mediterranean fund. The duties to cease within three months after a peace with Tripoli, in case the United States are not engaged in war with some other of the Barbary powers, in which case they are to cease within three months after a peace with such powers. The President is authorised to cause to be purchased or built, two vessels of war to carry 16 guns each, and as many gun boats as he may think proper. One million of dollars, additional to the sum heretofore appropriated, is placed under the direction of the President for the naval service, which sum he is authorised to borrow at a rate of interest not exceeding six per cent.
Mr. Nicholson moved that this bill should be made the order for this day.
Mr. R. Griswold moved to-morrow.
The question on "to-morrow"—was lost—Ayes 43—Noes 50—when Mr. Nicholson's motion prevailed.
On Thursday an engrossed bill further to protect the commerce and seamen of the United States against the Barbary powers was read the third time.
Mr. Huger asked for the call of the Yeas and Nays; to shew, by recording his vote, that although he was unequivocally hostile to the mode of taxation proposed by the bill, yet he should vote in favor of the bill for the purpose of maintaining the character and interests of the country.
Mr. J. C. Smith made a few remarks to the same effect.
When the question was taken by Yeas and Nays on the passage of the bill, and carried by an unanimous vote—Yeas 98—Noes, NONE.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, March 15.
The bill for appropriating 50,000 dollars for progressing with the public buildings in the city of Washington, after having passed through a committee of the whole, was ordered to a third reading to-morrow.
The House went into committee of the whole on the bill providing rules for the government of the army.
The 5th article is in the words following:
Art. 5. Whatsoever officer or soldier shall presume to use traitorous or disrespectful words, against the President of the United States, against the Vice President thereof, against the Congress of the United States, or against the chief magistrate or legislature of any of the United States in which he may be quartered, if a commissioned officer, he shall be cashiered, or otherwise punished as a court martial shall direct, if a non-commissioned officer or soldier, he shall suffer such punishment as shall be inflicted on him by the sentence of a court martial.
Mr. Nicholson moved to strike out this article.
Mr. Varnum, desired before the question was put, to be indulged with an opportunity of reading the article at present in force, which would shew that in principle it was the same with that in the bill.
Mr. V. read the old article under consideration, the only variation arising from the old provision applying to the "Congress of the United States and legislatures."
Why gentlemen should now be inclined to leaving the army loose to calumniate the government, he could not say.
Mr. Nicholson. It is not my wish to fence round the President, Vice President, and Congress with a second sedition law. If the officers of the army conduct themselves improperly it is in the power of the executive to punish them—They can be removed at the will of the president, or by the court martial. Besides, I do not understand the section. I ask, what is the meaning of traitorous words used against the president, Vice President and Congress. I know of no traitorous words that can be used. There are none such that can be found in the constitution; and I am decidedly opposed to any such mode of establishing, by the side way means, so dangerous a construction.
The question was then taken on Mr. Nicholson's motion, and carried, Ayes 53.
After some further consideration of the bill, the committee rose and the House, by a great majority, refused them leave to sit again. This is probably a virtual rejection of the bill for the present session.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the bill for the government of Louisiana. Mr. Dawson in the chair.
The substitute of Mr. Early for the 4th section of the bill was, with some verbal amendments, agreed to. Ayes 51.
The bill was reported to the House, who concurred with the committee in striking out the 4th section of the bill (giving the President the power of appointing the legislative council) yeas 74—nays 23, and in their agreement to Mr. Earley's substitute—yeas 58, nays 42.
After considerable discussion of various features of the bill, the House adjourned, without closing its consideration.
A more particular sketch of this day's proceedings will be given hereafter.
M. Snowden— I found the enclosed blowing about the streets several days ago, and if worth inserting you will oblige me by giving it a place.

I.
RESOLV'D as her poet of Celia to sing, For ideas of beauty, I search'd thro' the spring, To flowers soft blooming compared the sweet maid, But flowers tho' blooming at evening may fade.
II.
Of sunshine and breezes I next thought to write, Of breezes so soft and of sunshine so bright, But these with my fair no resemblance will hold, For sun sets at night and the breezes grow cold.
III.
The clouds of mild evening arrayed in pale blue, While the sun beams behind them peep'd glittering thro'; Tho' to rival her charms they can never arise, Yet methought they look'd something like Celia's bright eyes.
IV.
These beauties are transient, but Celia's will last, When spring, and when summer, and autumn are past; For sense and good humour no season disarms, And the soul of my Celia enlivens her charms.
V.
At length on a fruit tree a blossom I found, Which beauty displayed and shed fragrance around; I then thought the muses had smil'd on my pray'r, This blossom, I cried, will resemble my fair.
VI.
These colours so gay and united so well, This delicate texture and ravishing smell, Be her person's sweet emblem; but where shall I find, In nature, a beauty that equals her mind?
VII.
This blossom so pleasing at summer's gay call, Must languish at first and afterwards fall; But behind it the fruit, its successor shall rise, By nature distobed of her beauteous disguise.
VIII.
So Celia when youth, that gay blossom is o'er, By her virtues improved shall engage me the more— Shall recall every beauty that brightened her prime, When her merit is ripen'd by care and by time.

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

15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 4,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake of the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.

Charles Town, Jefferson county, Virginia. March 5. 21w19m
WHEREAS
my two tracts of land in the county of King George known by the name of Eagles Nest and Somers, which have for many years past, with the slaves, stock of every kind, furniture and plantation utensils thereon, been under the management of Benjamin Grymes, (and which were lent by me to him, for the support of his family during his life) having in consequence of his decease reverted to me; and it being my wish that all his just debts should be discharged as fast as the money can be raised, either from the profits of the above named Estates, or by a sale of such of the perishable property as can be spared. It is my request that all who have claims against the late Benjamin Grymes will bring them in fairly stated, and legally authenticated as soon as they conveniently can, either to Mr. William Fitzhugh Grymes who resides at Eagle Nest or to me in Alexandria. And it is also my request, that all persons who are indebted to the deceased, or to the said Estates, will discharge their balances as soon as possible, either to W. F. Grymes, or to me. William Fitzhugh. March 13. 2w19m.
