PHYSIC, SURGERY, MIDWIFERY, &c.
THE Subscriber takes this method of informing the inhabitants of Alexandria and its neighbourhood, that he has just fixed himself as a resident amongst them, for the purpose of becoming a Practitioner in MEDICINE, SURGERY, in all its Branches, MIDWIFERY and the Diseases of the TEETH; he trusts that six years unswerving attention, in the most approved schools of Europe, to the different divisions of Science which compose his profession, will enable him to discharge its duties in a manner that shall be consistent with the safety and welfare of the Patient, as well as the reputation and dignity of the Profession itself; he hopes also that he will be found to practice on fully as reasonable terms as any reputable Practitioner can afford to do. There is one circumstance to which he could wish to be permitted the liberty of calling attention, it is the Vaccine Inoculation, the greatest discovery, perhaps, that has ever been made in Medicine. Medical Science has justly been complained of, as making slow progress; as travelling in a dull, halting gait; but, relative to Vaccine Inoculation, she has lately made a rapid, a gigantic stride of improvement, one that tends to expunge from the catalogue of Diseases the most odious and calamitous that ever afflicted man, the Small-Pox. This then being the character of the discovery, the Subscriber trusts he may be believed when he asserts, that the full and complete diffusion of its benefits is what most sincerely interests him; even though wholly abstracted from any considerations of pecuniary advantage; he has been informed, that medical characters in this place, of much skill and benevolent intentions, have found impediments to the success of the Vaccine Inoculation, and that such impediments, though they seem somewhat peculiar to this country, have considerably limited the sphere of its usefulness. To investigate and remove the causes of those impediments will be an object of his most unceasing attention, and should there be any persons in this town or its vicinity, who would wish to participate in the benefits of the discovery, but may feel themselves restrained by pecuniary motives, he will innoculate and carry them through the disease free from all expense whatever. He has been familiarly acquainted with it in Europe, and possesses instructions given to him by the author of the discovery himself, whereby it may be most certainly and truly communicated, and as prudently and safely managed; there are circumstances too, of no small importance, as upon the communication of the true Vaccine Disease, and the prudent management of it depends the ample and wide extended blessing, which, under such circumstances, it is fully capable of conferring on the human species; for, if the false disease be communicated instead of the true, though only in a few instances, and the true disease not properly managed, it will involve the merits of the remedy in doubt and uncertainty, and ultimately bring it into total disrepute and uselessness. The Subscriber may be seen, by applying at his Shop, Prince Street, nearly opposite Dr. Dick's, or at his lodgings, at Mrs. Griffith's, King Street. WM. ALLEN DAINGERFIELD. Oct. 25. d3gt

TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE.
PARIS, August 25.
Toussaint Louverture has arrived at Paris; he was met here in a post chaise, escorted by a numerous detachment of dragoons; he is in the temple.
BORDEAUX, September 5.
We learn by letters from Cayenne, the arrival of a corvette coming from Brest having on board the wife of Toussaint Louverture, two of her children, one of her nieces, and some servants; they went on shore the 2d of September, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. Mrs. Toussaint was received on the wharf by the mayor of Bayonne, the commander of the troops, with a detachment of grenadiers, and conducted to the hotel of Providence. They are now preparing apartments for her in one of the castles. A centinel has been placed at the door of the hotel.
September 6.
The Moniteur of the 3d instant, contains six senatus consulta, the first regulates the manner the senate shall be presided and convoked, and how the senatus consulta shall be presented. The second relates to the order in which the five series, that form the grand division of the departments of the republic, shall present deputies to the legislative body. It is enacted by the third, that the senatus consultum that will pronounce the dissolution of the legislative body or tribunal, shall announce the proposition of the government, the report of a special commission on this matter, and shall report that the votes have been received secretly by ballot. The fourth designates the 24 cities, the mayors of which shall be present at the taking the oath of the citizen appointed to succeed the first consul; those cities are Paris, Lyons, Bourdeaux, Marseilles, Rouen, Nantz, Bruxelles, Mayence, Anvers, Liege, Lille, Toulouse, Strasburg, Rheims, Nancy, Amiens, Geneva, Dijon, Nice. By the fifth, the island of Elba is united to the territory of the republic, and shall send a deputy to the legislative body; which will make the members of this body amount to 301. The sixth, at last, relates to the division of departments of the republic into five series, and to the order in which they shall be called to present deputies to the legislative body. And after proceeding by lot, the result of the drawing for the five series was in the following order: the 4th, the 3d, the 5th, the 2d, and the 1st.
PARIS, September 3.
The affairs of Germany are on the eve of being terminated. France, Russia, Austria, Prussia and Bavaria agree together. Prussia has taken possession of the states granted her by the plan of the two great mediating powers. Austria has taken possession of Salzburg, Berenstolgaen, Brixen and Trent, granted her likewise by the same plan; her troops were at Passau, before this court had adopted the said plan; but the imperial minister has declared that he took possession of them only to preserve the rights of the bishop of Passau, till the time when the mediating powers of the deputation of the empire would pronounce.
It is asserted that the number of Englishmen now in Paris amounts from ten to twelve thousand, few persons can doubtless, verify the exactness of this assertion; but certain it is that people of that country abound more and more in the capital. Nevertheless, the London newspapers have not ceased repeating these three months past, that the English cannot stay in Paris more than eight or ten days, because living is too dear there. To know what is to be depended upon, we need only to observe that packets that came from Dover to Calais, have uniformly brought over since the re-establishment of communications, a greater number of passengers, than the packets of Calais have to Dover.
Let it be as it will, the plays, walks, and public gardens of the capital, are resorted to by numbers of Englishmen that we may compute to several thousands the contingent of foreigners furnished us by that nation.
They write us from Brada, that the 27th division of light infantry, in garrison in that town, went out this morning in the greatest order, from that place, to meet the columns brought by a detachment of Paris.
The corps re-entered soon with the utmost order; a noble majestic and warlike music added to the splendor of that solemn ceremony; the detachment of Paris was in the centre of the column; the corps was placed in battle array on the public squares; there the chief of brigade Delfaux, the commander of the place, has presented each battalion with its colours, in making its brave soldiers remember the promise he has made the first consul in their name, to carry always in the road of courage and honor these new marks of victory, and to give them up only with life, if ever impious discord should happen to imbue in blood a world restored to peace by the hero of the French nation.
The sacred promise has been repeated from all parts with the enthusiasm of gratitude and joy, and from all parts have echoed the cries of long live the republican government, long live Buonaparte.
ACTS OF GOVERNMENT.
Arrete of the 27th of August.
The consuls of the republic, after hearing the report of the minister of finances, in conformity to the article 4 of the arrete of the 3d Thermidor, granting leave of staple for French colonial commodities and produce, in conformity also to the arrete of the council of May 4, 1798, on the same decree;
Art. 1. Merchants and others who will declare to be in staple the same species of French colonial commodities and produce denominated in the first number of the tarif annexed to the arrete of the 3d of Thermidor last, and subject to the duties of consumption shall be bound to declare before the custom houses, before their putting the said commodities and staples, the stores in which they will put them, and shall acknowledge themselves bound to show the same again at any time, with a reason for taking them out of one store into another, without a previous declaration and special permit of the custom house, under the penalty of paying immediately the duties in case of unauthorized mutation and the double duties in case of an entire subtraction of the same.
2. The minister of finances is charged with the execution of the present arrete, which shall be inserted in the bulletin of laws.

FRANKFORD, August 27.
We learn from Darmstadt, that baron Barkhausen, the first minister of the landgrave has set out for Ratibon, to obtain, from the two guaranteeing powers, France and Russia, the authorization of receiving the indemnities allotted to this prince. Baron of Edelstein, first minister of the margrave of Baden, went to Ratibon for the same purpose. Deputies from Bamberg, Wurtzburg, from the house of Nassau, &c. have arrived there, intrusted with full powers from their constituents, to watch over their respective concerns with the diet.
MANHEIM, August 27.
There have arrived here two couriers with very important despatches. The first is the bearer of an order to all Bavarian troops, now in the Palatinate to cause all those that are absent on furlough, to join their corps again in 24 hours, and be ready to march. By the second, these troops have received the summons of setting off without any delay for Wurtzburg. They are commanded by the prince of Yzenburg. The garrison of Heidelberg are to set off to-day, and that of Manheim the day after to-morrow.
The whole of the elector's troops has begun to march in several directions. General Gaza will head the body of the army charged with occupying the imperial towns and ecclesiastical countries of Suabia, to supply the place of general Dixon, who has taken the command of general Battels.
MUNICH, August 22.
It is asserted, that the court of Vienna has applied to the French government and to the courts of Berlin and Petersburg, to obtain for the grand duke of Tuscany greater indemnities than those granted him by the convention of Paris. The same declaration has been made to all the states of Germany that form a part of the deputation of the empire.
Letters from Berlin announce that negotiations have been opened between Prussia and the elector of Saxony, concerning the exchange of the town and territory of Erfurt, and the formerly imperial towns of Mulhausen and Nordhausen, for a part of Lusatia.

NEW YORK, October 20.
Captain Marrener, to whom we are in- debted for the following proclamation, informs us, that the new laws relative to the duties payable in the island of Marti- nique, limit the port charges at 21 dol- lars, and a duty of 2 per cent. on all sales, and 7 per cent on the purchase of colonial produce. A number of Ameri- can vessels there with beef and pork, were not permitted to land their cargoes when capt. M. failed. It was not known how long this prohibition would continue; but the government had ordered an enqui- ry of the quantities of every species of provisions that would be wanted, and, from the facility, it was expected that Americans would soon be permitted to dis- pose of their cargoes.
On his passage to New York, captain M. spoke the Schooner Edward Swain of Baltimore, which failed some time after the Sally, and was informed that St. Pierre's had been proclaimed the only port of entry.
PROCLAMATION
Of Admiral Villaret Joyeuse, captain ge- neral of Martinique and St. Lucia.
FRENCHMEN, war and dissensions have separated you from the mother country— peace restores you again to her bosom.
The French government maintains the ancient laws made for the happiness of the colonies, protects the religion of your fa- thers; guarantees the integrity of proper- ty, and preserves slavery; which made a part of ancient colonial possession. After having conquered and given peace to the world, it wishes the happiness and tran- quility of the nation, by allaying hatred, and binding up the wounds which parties have made. After having combated ar- mies, it supports altars, and re-establishes christianity.
Wretched shall those be who dare to disturb the social order established in the colonies; who shall cherish suspicions with regard to the intentions of the mo- ther country. The sword of justice will soon be unsheathed to punish, but far be it from our wish to find any one culpable. Our first care shall be to prevent the com- mission of such crimes, by the most watch- ful vigilance; and our strongest solicitude shall be to add to the happiness of the co- lony, by justice and an equitable admini- stration. Your souls long to be united again to Frenchmen, ten years of glory have effaced the misfortunes of the revo- lution. The 18 Brumaire, and the treat- y of Amiens, have fixed the destiny and the grandeur of France. The hero who governs—who makes the happiness of the colonies his, by making commerce to re- vive and flourish; astonished posterity is yet not decided concerning; but without doubt will make him the greatest of men.
The Captain General, VILLARET JOYEUSE.
[By an arrete of Bonaparte, dated the 8th Floreal, 10th year, the following names of places in Martinique, St. Lucia and Tobago, are ordered to be changed.
The fort called Royal, at Martinique, shall take the name of Fort Desaix.
Bourbon, the name of Fort Desaix.
The port and city of St. Lucia, for- merly De Castries, the name of De Care- nage.
The port and city formerly Port Lew- is, in the island of Tobago, to be called Scarborough.]

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
We learn that the French national sch'r. Enfant Prodigue, from Guadalupe, which the left on the 26th of September, has put into New-York for the purpose of deliver- ing dispatches to the address of Mr. Pichon and that the proceeds immediately to France.
The Colonial Prefect, Mr. Lescaillier, had by an arrete, opened the Colony to foreign vessels. The information receiv- ed by Mr. Pichon states the Colony to be in want of provisions, and especially felt beef and pork.
General Lacroffe had been installed in the government by General Richpanse, but only temporarily, to assert the power of government. He was to give up the government in a short time to General Richpanse, and to proceed to another def- ination assigned him in the Colonies; but in consequence of the death of General Richpanse, General Lacroffe retains the government.
Permission had been given to people of color to return to Guadalupe.
Translation of a letter written by rear ad- miral Lacroffe, captain general of Gua- daloupe, to Mr. Pichon. Basseterre, the 4th Vendemiare, 11th year (26th Sept. 1802.)
I have the honor to inform you, citi- zen commissary, that by a decision just tak- en by citizen Lescaillier, counsellor of state colonial Prefect at Guadalupe, all the ports of this colony shall in future be open as formerly, to the American vessels and the exportation of colonial produce per- mitted on paying duties.
(Signed)

Translation.
In the name of the French Republic. R. Lacroffe, Captain General of Gua- daloupe and its dependencies.
Being willing to insure and maintain tranquility in the colony of Guadalupe orders as follows:
1st. No white individual shall be ad- mitted in this colony without a passport.
2d. No person of color or black shall be admitted in Guadalupe unless they are provided with a passport from the com- manding officer of the colony where they reside, and they will not be permitted to land until they are permitted to do so.
3d. No person whatever can leave the colony without a passport from the com- missary of Government.
4th. Every Captain arriving in one of the ports of the colony shall declare the number of men composing his crew, their names and colour; the number of passen- gers, their names and colour. When they depart they shall present all the men composing their crew, as well as such of the passengers, who should not have been permitted to land or remain in the colony.
5th. All foreign vessels on board of which negroes or mulattoes should have been in- troduced without passports, shall be seized and confiscated if the captain does not, when he arrives, declare that such passengers are on board.
6th. There shall be no intercourse be- tween a vessel arriving and the land until the health officer has made his visit a- greably to the established rules and re- gulations, and until the declarations has been made by the captain.
(Signed)

The Executors of the late Gen. Geo. Wash- ington, offer for sale, the following TRACTS OF LAND, viz. A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 300 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Wash- ington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburgh and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac. One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Alby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Plaster of Paris, well watered by seve- ral never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives. One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equal- ly favorable to Plaster of Paris.

One tract in Hampshire coun- ty containing 240 acres—this tract, tho' small is extremely valuable.

One third part of 1119 acres on Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and in Nansemond river—this land is consi- dered extremely valuable by those who are acquainted with it.
