Public Sale of L. O. S. A GREABLE to the will of Mr. John West, deceased, the subscriber will on MONDAY, the 24th day of August next, expose to public sale, at the New Turnpike Gate, near to Mr. Rickett's his Molery, or One Half of a Tract of Land adjoining thereto, lying on Timber Branch, known by the name of "PEARSON'S TRACT"—which land was devised by John West, jun. late of Cameron, to his two sons Thomas and John West, to be equally divided between them.—The land is naturally fertile and full of a young growth of timber, which with proper care and attention will soon become valuable. There is some excellent springs of water upon it, and elegant sites for buildings.—The land will be laid off in lots from five to ten acres. The Terms of Sale will be— One-third payable in cash—the other two-thirds in negotiable notes in either of the banks in Alexandria, with approved indorsers, at 30 and 60 days, which is as far as the credit can be extended, the land being sold for the immediate payment of debts. A plat of the land as now surveyed and laid off into lots, may be seen in the coffee-house, in the town of Alexandria, or in the hands of Charles Little, Ex'or of J. West.
Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY, on the 16th instant, from the subscriber, a mulatto man, a slave, named ISAAC [sometimes calls himself Isaac Clerk] He is much accustomed to horses and is an excellent waggoner; about 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, aged about 45, a very thin face, chews much tobacco, fond of ardent spirits, and if he can procure it will certainly get drunk, very artful and insinuating, and is apt to smile when spoken to, and then shews his teeth—he has driven my waggon several times to Baltimore, and is very well acquainted in Alexandria. When he went off he had on a shirt and trousers of ticklenburgh, but as he has a variety of cloaths will change them as well as his name, to aid him in making his escape. Perhaps he will endeavor to pass as one of my father's free negroes, and has procured a forged free pass for that purpose—he both swears and gambles—he is an excellent cradler, mower, and ploughman, and understands every kind of work that is done upon a farm. As it is not the first offence of this kind that he has committed, on examining his back it will be found scarred with a whip. I will give TEN DOLLARS if taken in the county in which I live;—TWENTY DOLLARS if taken out of it; and FIFTY DOLLARS if out of the state of Virginia, and secured in any goal so I can get him again—all reasonable charges paid if he is brought to me at this place. George Carter. Oatlands, near Leesburg, Va. 27th July [31] dgt eotf
Twenty-five Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY, sometime in the months of November or December last, A NEGRO MAN by the name of SAM, who was hired in the town of Alexandria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very strait, of rather a yellowish or tawny complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice, and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at Col. Jemmeson's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland.—If he is taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give Thirty Dollars reward. Baldwin M. Lee. Virginia, Westmoreland county, July 24. [30]

The late National Insult.
As related in Nova Scotia.
From a Halifax Paper of July 7.
His majesty's sloop of war Columbine , Captain Bradshaw, arrived here on Saturday last from the Chesapeake, after a passage of six days, with dispatches to the honorable Vice-Admiral Berkeley. These dispatches relate to an unpleasant contest, which has taken place between the United States frigate Chesapeake , Commodore Barron, and his majesty's ship Leopard , Capt. Humphreys. As this is an event of the utmost importance to two nations, whose best interest it is to be in amity with each other, we have endeavored to collect as far as possible the interesting particulars. The order of Vice-Admiral Berkeley, with which we have been favored, will show the ground of difference; the propriety of the order given; and that part of the order which gave to Commodore Barron, the reciprocal right of search, must show to every candid mind, a sincere disposition to avoid wounding the feelings of the Commodore, or of bringing the question to this painful issue. The manner in which Captain Humphreys carried into effect the admiral's order will fully appear in the subsequent interesting letter from an officer belonging to the Leopard , and reflects the highest honor on Captain Humphreys, who has shown, on the one hand, the most patient forbearance; and on the other, the most inflexible determination to do his duty.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board his majesty's ship Leopard , dated
CHESAPEAKE BAY, June 25, 1807. We arrived here on the 21st instant—and, agreeably to the orders of the hon. vice-admiral Berkeley, [in the event of meeting the United States frigate Chesapeake , to search her for deserters, of whom we had information] the next morning the signal was made from the Bellona to proceed to sea, which we did at 9 o'clock this morning; the Chesapeake was then passing the Bellona about three miles within us. We stood to the S. E. with the wind at S. W. until eleven, when it shifted to E. which retarded the progress of the Leopard , being obliged to beat—we kept on a wind, under easy sail, until she got within two miles of us, when she shortened sail, and we bore down to her; we were about 13 or 14 miles from the land: when sufficiently close the captain hailed, and said he had dispatches from the British commander in chief—the answer was, "send them on board, I shall heave too," which he did accordingly—I was sent on board with the Admiral's order, and a letter from Capt. Humphreys, saying, he reported to the Admiral the Admiral's order in the most amicable manner; and, after the Commodore read the order and letter, he told me, his orders from his government were most peremptory in not suffering any foreigner to muster his ship's company, but that he would write an answer to Captain Humphreys's letter, if I would be the bearer of it to him—after having answered in the affirmative he wrote, saying, that he had no deserters, and that his instructions prevented his allowing the Chesapeake to be searched. I returned with this answer, after being on board 40 minutes. As the Admiral's order was positive, there was no alternative but force—so we edged down to her, and Captain Humphreys hailed, and said, that Commodore Barron must be aware that the order of the British commander in chief must be obeyed—the only reply, (which was thrice repeated) was, "I do not understand what you say." Now as we were to windward, and heard distinctly his answers, it was evident he also must have heard what Capt. Humphreys said. Orders were then given to fire a shot across her bows from the lower deck; after a minute another; and, in two more, no satisfactory answer being given, Captain Humphreys ordered the fire to be opened on her, beginning with the foremast gun, and in succession after: but as the order was not perfectly understood, a broadside was poured into her. Commodore Barron then hailed, when orders were given to cease firing, but as he only said he was going to send a boat on board, and as they were preparing to return the fire, it was supposed an artifice to gain time, and orders were again given to fire—two broadsides more were the result, when she struck. Two lieutenants, with several midshipmen, went then on board the Chesapeake to search for deserters, and after being there three hours, returned with four—three belonging to the Melampus , and one to the Halifax ;—the latter is the fellow who abused lord James Townsend at Norfolk.—Commodore Barron wrote to Captain Humphreys, saying, that he considered the Chesapeake as his prize, and that he was ready to deliver her up to any person authorised to receive her; Captain Humphreys replied, that as he had executed the orders of the commander in chief, he had nothing more to do with her; that he must forthwith join the rest of the squadron, and that he not only lamented, most sincerely, the necessity that compelled him to violent measures, but that if he could render the Chesapeake any service, he would cheerfully do it. In short, Captain Humphreys has conducted himself throughout the whole of this unpleasant transaction, in the most praiseworthy manner, as an officer and gentleman—he has
more humanity in his composition than most mankind; you may then suppose his feelings were none of the most comfortable on this occasion. The Chesapeake returned but a few shot—they were scarcely prepared when we began, and were thrown in such confusion, that the greatest part of the people deserted their quarters.
The number killed on board the Chesapeake , according to their own statement, was 6—and 23 were wounded.
Twenty-six shot went through the hull, seven between wind and water; the sails were completely riddled, and I have not a doubt but that in ten minutes more she would have gone down, the sea being so smooth every shot told after the first broadside, which was chiefly at the rigging.
Commodore Barron was slightly wounded in the leg by a splinter—he behaved in the coolest way imaginable, and stood at the open gang-way the greater part of the time."
If any thing can place this matter in a stronger light, we need only compare the assurances of Commodore Barron, with the result. Of the deserters claimed six were taken out of the frigate; upon the searching her, two were killed, and one jumped overboard, the gunner of his majesty's ship Chichester ; who bassly deserted his country's flag, was found dead, acting in that station, on board the American frigate, and many others were left by Captain Humphreys, because they could not be identified.
From the Federal Gazette.
BALTIMORE, July 23, 1807.
Messrs. Zebulon Hollingsworth, John Gilpin, James Sewell, Thos. W. Vea.
GENTLEMEN.—I find from the public papers that on the 4th of July you respectively officiated in the characters of president, vice president and secretaries, at a meeting of the citizens of Cecil county, held at Elkton, to celebrate the anniversary of American independence, and it is as persons who officiated in those characters, and it is in consequence of your conduct on that occasion that I now take the liberty of addressing you.
On the fourth of July 1776 we declared ourselves independent states, free from the tyranny and despotism of any nation on the earth, and proceeded to establish governments for the sacred security of the property, the reputation, the liberty, and the life of every person who should be so far blest as to be citizens of those governments. We then proclaimed, in the name of God of the universe, that the property, the reputation, the liberty and the life of every citizen should be safe, should be protected against the tyranny of the one or the many—and should only be taken from them by the laws of their country, faithfully, honestly and impartially dispensed, by an open fair, impartial trial, decided upon legal evidence, in which every benefit to be had from counsel, is secured by the constitution to the citizen, who is as to either assured.
Let me now ask you gentlemen to what use, or more properly abuse, did you turn the anniversary of that day? Was your conduct calculated to preserve and secure those blessings, for the enjoyment of which the people of America heretofore have basked all that was dear?—Or was it calculated to render them more insecure than even under Asiatic despotism?
Let me examine this question. I have seen your list of toasts drunk on that day, as published by yourselves.
On your volunteers I shall make no remarks—after seventeen bumpers had been drunk I can make great allowances for anything that took place; but for the toasts deliberately prepared & agreed to be drunk on that day, myself, my fellow citizens, & the world at large, do and will hold you answerable. Three of those toasts will be the subject of my animadversions.
The 7th is the following words. The grand jurors lately empanelled at Richmond to indict the traitors of their country. May their zeal and patriotism in the cause of liberty, secure them a crown of immortal glory, and the fruits of their labor be a death wound to all conspirators.
The 8th—Luther Martin, the ex-attorney general of Maryland, the mutual and highly respected friend of an indicted traitor; May his exertions to preserve the Catiline of America, procure him a humble coat of tar and a plumage of feathers, that will rival in finery all the mummies of Egypt.
The 9th—Aaron Burr, the man who once received the confidence of a free people. May his treachery to his country exalt him to the scaffold, and hemp be his escort to the republic of dust and ashes.
To any person of common sense, who possesses one sentiment of candor, one humane feeling of the heart, it would be sup-
posed, that none but demons from hell could on such an occasion have deliberately prepared and drank the foregoing toasts, unless they had the most perfect knowledge of col. Burr's guilt. And even in that case he would naturally conclude the persons to be savages or descendants of savages, who when they kill their prisoners feasts their inhuman souls with every cruelty of torture.
But, gentlemen, have you any knowledge that col. Burr is guilty of treason or of any other offence? Doth either of you know of one single fact to prove upon him guilt of any kind? Why have you not come forward and informed your government? And why had not I the pleasure of seeing you as witnesses at Richmond?
I know your answer. You must confess that you have no personal knowledge of any thing criminal that has been committed by col. Burr, but that in the Aurora , the Argus , and many other Democratic papers, you have seen him charged with not only misdemeanors, but treason. Nay, you will probably say, that the president of the U States, in his message to congress, declared his guilt to be placed beyond doubt.
And after the length of time you have lived, a length of time which has whitened some of your heads. After the different public appointments which some of you have executed, am I now to put you in mind, that not one shillings worth of your dirty property can be taken from you without your having an opportunity of being personally heard, nor without legal evidence delivered on oath in your presence, with liberty on your part to cross examine, and by other evidence to contradict. And yet you have to the utmost of your power, wantonly and wickedly assailed the good name, fame and reputation of col. Burr, upon no evidence! You have done what is still more wicked—you have without any evidence assailed his life! For, are you now, for the first time, to be instructed, that whenever a person is to be tried for a charge, which is punishable with death, he, who endeavors to prejudice and inflame the public mind against him; he who does any act of a tendency to prevent the accused from having a fair dispassionate, impartial trial, is, in the eye of God, guilty of as murderous an intention, as if he had tempted to plunge a dagger to his heart! Equally murderous, but infinitely more cowardly—as the danger of punishment in the first case is meant to be avoided?—what think you, gentlemen, of the cowardly wretch, who, anxious for the blood of an enemy, but fearful of danger or of punishment, slips a siletto into the hands of an assassin, and points to the victim!—What think you of yourselves and the rest of those who drank your savage toasts? Would you not have swallowed the beverage in your glasses, had it been the blood of col. Burr, with more pleasure than the juice of the grape? Would not those who could express such savage delight in the hope of his death, could they do it with impunity, rip open his breast, tear out his heart, gnaw it with their teeth, and suck down its blood, as acted the blood-thirsty Parisians towards the amiable, the accomplished, the beautiful Lamballe ! And know you not that the gentleman, whose death would be such a feast to your savage souls, has a daughter as amiable, as accomplished, as lovely as was Lamballe ! And to her you have been drinking a life of unutterable misery! You may possibly think this language severe, but in a case like this, no language can be severe.
I would wish to harrow up every feeling of your souls, if indeed such souls can have any feeling! You have toasted the grand jury, when you knew not whether they did right or wrong; when you knew not whether the persons indicted are traitors or innocent citizens; whether the grand jury were actuated by zeal and patriotism in the cause of liberty, or by zeal and sycophancy in the cause of persecution; whether their conduct deserves a crown of immortal glory, or a noose of immortal infamy: for you have no knowledge that can enable you to decide upon the propriety or impropriety of their conduct. The toast, therefore, only stands staring you in the face, to your eternal dishonor, as a proof of your ferocity against col. Burr. Nor, gentlemen, will the grand jury thank you for the toast. They were gentlemen of honor, of worth, of humanity; they were not actuated by the hellish wish, that the persons, concerning whose conduct they had to enquire, should prove to be guilty; nor did they, in returning true bills, feel an infernal pleasure. No, sirs, not a man of that grand jury assented to the finding of the bills, whose heart did not feel a
pang, nor is there one of them whose heart will not enjoy exquisite pleasure should their innocence, on a fair, impartial trial before a petit jury (if, indeed, such a trial can be had, and which you have murderously endeavored to prevent) be made manifest. Not a friend of the gentlemen indicted blames the grand jury. But are you to be informed, that the grand jury can only act upon evidence selected and sent to them for the very purpose of proving guilt; examined ex parte ; and that perjury can there appear unappalled? And are you to be informed that the benign spirit of our laws, even after indictment, presumes innocence? Those laws that are said to be our government, which you are bound to support, and yet you, good, virtuous republicans, who boast of your love of liberty, your sacred regard for the laws, and who call yourselves the protectors, the guardians of the rights of every man, have thought proper, not only to presume guilt, but have presumed to hold up to the indignation of your country him whom the laws of your country presume to be innocent!
And now let me enquire, who is this gentleman whose guilt you have pronounced, and for whose blood your parched throats so thirst? Was he not a few years past adored by you next to your God, I mean your earthly God, for whether you believe in a deity, who has any government over your "republic of dust and ashes" I know not. Were you not then his warmest admirers? Did he not then possess every virtue? Had he then one sin—even a single weakness of human nature? He was then in power. He had then influence. You would then have been proud of his notice. One smile from him would have brightened up all your faces. One frown have lengthened all your visages.
But he is now a private citizen—he is now no longer in power—he is now persecuted! And behold he is now a Catiline , he is now a traitor—your prayers are now that he may be exalted to the scaffold—that hemp may be his escort to the republic of "dust and ashes," and to these invocations you have prostituted the anniversary of a day, which only ought to be held dear as long as the government, consequently established, shall scarcely protect property, reputation, liberty and life.
Go, ye holiday, ye sunshine friends—ye time servers—ye criers of Hosanna to day and crucify to-morrow—go hide your heads if possible, from the contempt and detestation of every virtuous, every honorable inhabitant of every clime.
Your eighth toast, as it personally relates to myself, gives me no uneasiness. I only notice it, as proving the sacred malignity of your hearts towards col. Burr.
As to myself I have never insinuated or injured a single individual, who on that occasion celebrated the day. In the whole company I had not a personal enemy, nor was there a man among you that had reason to be so; with many of that company, perhaps with all I had been personally acquainted, I had been in habits of receiving and returning polite attentions; on some at least of the company had conferred benefits, nor was there one man in the company on whom I would not have conferred any benefits needed, and in my power with propriety to have bestowed. Nay, so well do I know you all, and he good will that you possess for me that I have the most perfect confidence had I arrived at Elkton the moment after you had drunk your eighth toast, & entered your room, you would have received me in the most friendly manner, you would have requested me to share in the festival, and your politeness would have induced you to have suppressed your ninth and tenth toasts.
Having thus done you justice, having acquitted the company to a man of any personal resentment against me; let me state what was my conduct, which induced you deliberately to prepare and deliberately to drink the eighth toast.
I had appeared as one of col. Burr's counsel; and pray doth not the constitution most sacredly secure to him the benefit of counsel? Can it then be said that a person shall be criminal, or even censurable for doing what your constitution authorised him to do? Nay, if by public clamor counsel is to be intimidated and prevented from appearing for the accused, is not the constitution thereby violated? And is not the accused thereby deprived of a constitutional right, and if convicted, unconstitutionally convicted?
But I appeared in his defence as a friend, not merely as an attorney for the fee. And how long has it been or what maxim is it established, that to do an authorised act from motives of friendship, is less honorable than from motives of sordid interest?

But you will say, that you believe him guilty of treason. I reply you have no legal evidence on which you can found this belief. I will further say, that I who have infinitely better information on the subject, believe colonel Burr to be as innocent of any thing treasonable in act or intent, as the infant unborn; and that I believe the executive of the United States at this time of the same opinion. And for the truth of this assertion I appeal to my God. And I further answer that if col. Burr was as guilty of treason, as you, without any knowledge of the fact declare him to be, yet he is entitled to a fair and impartial trial; and the constitution secures to him the benefit of counsel. You will perhaps as your last resort, for in truth you have no other, tell me at all events you wish him to be hung. and therefore are enraged at every thing that interests with your wishes. Then sirs, you proceed in the true French style, for which indeed you appear quite ready. 'Hang first and try afterwards:' it would save a world of trouble and gratify many a revengeful, malignant fiend.
The whole burthen of my crime is resolved to this. That I have in a case where the honor, the life of a friend, and the happiness of all who are dear to him, are at stake, had the hardihood, even although it might prevent you from feasting on his blood, to offer to him from motives of friendship, those services, which the trifling abilities my God hath kindly bestowed on me, may enable me to render him. I have thrown my body as a shield between the dagger of the assassin and the heart attempted to be pierced!
And for this conduct, for which, if history records the event, I shall be respected as long as the page of history shall last, by all the worthy and good; yes for this conduct, not only innocent but praiseworthy, if any conduct of man can be so, you the advocates of the constitution, you exclusive republicans; you the supporters and advocates of the rights of man, and of a government of laws—you the sworn enemies of despotism in whatever shape it may appear; would if in your power, arm an infuriated mob against a private individual, who never gave you the slightest cause of personal complaint; and would be glad to see him, if his life was spared, suffer insult and injury to the last extreme which could be inflicted! Remember gentlemen, I only hold up to your view the mirror of truth; blame yourselves only for the monstrous images of deformity which meet your vision.
In your toast you have particularly noticed me as the 'mutual and highly respected friend of an indicted traitor.'
Remember gentlemen a few years only have passed since you boasted of your friendship for col. Burr. Your tongues at that time moved as quickly, and with as much ease, as doth the aspen leaf under the influence of the atmosphere, in his praise; and had I then presumed to have treated his name as you have treated it, I should not have been surprised had I been tarred & feathered; and indeed should have thought that I richly deserved it. He was then your political friend; such he never was to me. Our friendship has been personal; our politics have ever been different. Think then if my heart was such a heart as you possess; that my friendships were formed from political motives only and depended entirely upon the situation of the person; whether he was in power or a private citizen; whether he was the object of executive favoritism or persecution; Cannot you suppose such a heart might be gratified in the extreme, to see that power which he did bestow, which he only could have bestowed, upon those who now possess power, (a truth notorious & which democracy has often acknowledged) now exerted for the destruction of him who gave it? Yes gentlemen if my heart was like yours, I might perhaps take as savage a pleasure in beholding his execution as is evident you would take.
A few words more before we part. You have shewn to the world a disposition to expose me to an enraged mob; a disposition to see me suffer insult and injury, and what I suppose such beings as you would call disgrace. My life I acknowledge is in the power of an assassin; it is in the power of an infuriated multitude—but to me that is a consideration which never hath, nor never will influence my conduct. I know that I must die. To me who has lived longer than I had a right to expect, the time when it shall take place is not to myself of much consequence;—nor do I know that it is so to my country; but there is a number of individuals to whose felicity my life is of importance—for their sake I would not rashly expose it—As to the manner in which my life shall terminate—whether surrounded by friends
in my bed—whether torn limb from limb by an enraged mob—or whether perjury should 'exalt me on the scaffold,' is to me perfectly indifferent: my future existence will not be affected thereby; nor can I by the manner of my death, nor by brutal violence in my life, be disgraced. I hold my reputation and my honor on a much surer tenure than the unstable voice of what is commonly called popularity, to obtain which I never sacrificed one feeling of my heart, nor one duty which I owed either to God or to man.
I AM KNOWN, and I AM respected, in every state and in every territory belonging to the United States. I repeat, that I AM RESPECTED—Do you wish to know why? Because my heart is the very reverse of those belonging to my Elkton toasters; because I never intentionally injured a human being; because, instead of wishing harm to any one, I have ever wished the reverse, even to my enemies; because, instead of increasing the miseries of human life, I would, if possible, render this world a paradise; because my wishes have been proved sincere by my conduct, as far as my fortune and my situation in life have given me power; and because, it is known I am incapable to desert a friend in distress.
On the subject of mobs permit me to assure you, I fear no violence from any combination of American citizens. By that description I mean all those, of whatever clime, who were here when the peace of 1783 took place, and the descendants of all such persons—My name disclosed, even should my person not be known, would, as to them, be a security from violence.
I now gentlemen, take my leave of you, most sacredly assuring you, that, as to what relates to myself, I freely forgive you, and that I feel no resentment against you. My indignation hath been excited and expressed against your conduct, on account of colonel Burr—on account of its immediate tendency, and your wicked intention, to deprive him in a case where his honor and his life are at hazard, of that fair, impartial trial, which the constitution and laws of your country stand pledged to him that he should have; of which pledge, with a sacrilegious hand, you have robbed him. And I have been actuated by a wish to express to the public my detestation of, and as far as in my power to put an end to, that infamous, that infernal, that murderous conduct, which has been common in the democratic papers, & too much countenanced in some of the federal papers—to make the press, which ought to be the guardian of liberty, the shield of innocence, and, even as to guilt, an angel of mercy—to make that press the demon of envy, hatred and revenge—the Moloch of persecution, when ever personal or political enemies were to be hunted down: a practice not only the dishonor and disgrace of this country, but under which no man can be safe. Such has been the conduct of printers on a former occasion, as to col. Burr; such has been the conduct of printers in the case of Selfridge; such has been the conduct of printers in the present case, as to col. Burr; but you, gentlemen, have the unparalleled guilt, which I hope will never be paralleled, of endeavoring to turn the fourth of July into an auto da fe , on that day to burn your victims.
And remember, gentlemen, what is col. Burr's case now, may be the case of any one of you hereafter, unless you are protected by your insignificance. You may become obnoxious to individual hatred; you may become obnoxious to some future administration; you may be accused of some capital crime. Interest and influence, hatred and malice may inflame the public mind against you; the celebrators of the fourth of July may devote you to the halter; before a jury whose minds have been poisoned against you you may be brought for trial; before a jury that has already prejudged your cause, from the public papers, as you have prejudged the cause of col. Burr. Their fate is to determine whether you die an ignominious death; whether your wives and children shall suffer despair and distraction. In such a situation you will feel the infamy of that conduct of which you have boasted: and you will then know how to appreciate the merits of any gentleman who shall dare to advocate your cause even for the consideration of money, leaving friendship out of the question.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
Arrived at Washington city on Wednesday the United States' schooner Esterprize, captain Porter, in thirty five days from the Mediterranean.—Captain P. left the frigate Constitution and Hornet at Syracuse. He states the information of a rupture between the Barbary powers and Great Britain to be unfounded. Captain P. likewise furnishes the following intelligence.
Nat. Intel.
Some time in May a deputation was sent by the Bey governing Rosetta, to the commander in chief of the British forces at Alexandria, inviting him to come with his troops and take possession of the place, and stating that on his appearing before Rosetta the keys of the city should be delivered him.—The British commander pleased with the proposal, marched next day with three thousand men for Rosetta; and agreeably to the promise of the Bey, received the keys, marched into the public square, and was about allotting quarters to the different officers, and making arrangements for guards &c. when at that moment the tops of the houses were covered with Turkish troops, who commenced a heavy fire on them, and killed great numbers of the British. The British commander seeing his men fall in every direction about him, without a possibility (from their crowded situation and the secure position of the Turks) of defending themselves ordered a retreat. They fought their way to the city gates through a tremendous fire—but found them in possession of the enemy, with whom they had a severe struggle before they could gain possession of them; they at length succeeded in getting out, where they found a body of between four and five thousand horse ready to attack them. They then formed a hollow square, fought their way down to Alexandria, and of the three thousand men, fifteen hundred were killed among whom were two general officers.—The Turks shewed them no quarters and as they were unable to bring off their wounded, they all fell a sacrifice to Turkish fury. The bodies of the two general officers were however brought off and sent to Malta to be interred.
Admiral Louis died about the middle of June at Malta.
It is said an attempt will be made on Naples by his Sicilian majesty shortly, as there are but few French troops now in that city, and as his party there still remains strong, notwithstanding the rigid means that have been used by the present government there to reduce their number.
On the 16th of May, about 40 sail of Sicilian transports sailed under convoy from Messina for Palermo, for the purpose of taking in troops.
The British and Sicilian troops possess a small part of Calabria Ulterior. The rest is occupied by the French troops.
About the first of May a regiment composed of people from the Levant, raised for the purpose of defending the island of Malta, demanded their discharge from the British service, in consequence of their having heard that hostilities had commenced between their sovereign, the Grand Seignor, and Great Britain; and as the governor of Malta did not think proper to grant their request, they became very disorderly, in consequence of which one of the officers of the regiment went among them to endeavor, by fair means, to quell the disturbance; but not succeeding, he resorted to blows. They immediately seized him, hacked him to pieces with their sabres, tore his heart, yet palpitating, from his body, and hove it in the streets. The British and Maltese troops of the island immediately assembled, but the mutineers having had time to seize their arms, retreated to the castle of St. Elmore, A which they took possession, and renewed the demand for their discharge, and ships to transport them to the Ottoman empire; and threatened, in case of a refusal, to fire into the town, which threat they shortly put into execution, as the governor still remained firm.
The different batteries were then turned on the fortress, and the cannonading continued for about 48 hours, without intermission, when the besieged demanded water, and threatened to set fire to the magazine unless they were furnished with a supply: this was refused them, in consequence of which a number of them surrendered, but the most daring remained by the fortress, firmly determined to put their threat into execution. They accordingly laid a train, to which they set fire, and in a moment blew the fortress and a number of the besiegers and besieged into the air. Six of the mutineers, who were most dis-
tant from the magazine, made their escape thro' the line of troops which surrounded St. Elmore, and retreated to the interior of the island where they wandered several days, hunted from haunt to haunt until exhausted by hunger and the numerous wounds they had received from the different parties out in search of them, they were at length taken and shortly afterwards hung, in presence of the rest of the regiment, who were taught to believe that a similar fate awaited them.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1860.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
Geo. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltner and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious in ways to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon
al to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
