Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESLAW. He is about 36 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet high, of a tawny complexion, has a scar on one of his jaws or side of his face forming a half circle; I think it is on the right, but am not positive. He is a slim made fellow, with a bushy head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green round coat, buff colored breeches, with homespun clothings, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop or field. I have understood he has crossed the Potomac about Britain's Bay, over into Maryland. I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harboring or carrying him away under the penalty of the law. I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland, or Fifteen if taken in the Northern Neck, so that I get him again, George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Vir. } 14th September. 20 dff

TO THE HONORABLE JOHN RANDOLPH. Among the new and extraordinary phenomena which have followed the French revolution...
But whatever it might be that the wise of this earth would be disposed to choose, it has pleased the most wise not to leave them a choice.
In this latter predicament, sir, you now stand. It has pleased God to vouchsafe you very extraordinary talents. Along with them he has buckled an awful weight of responsibility upon your back.
Do not mistake me Sir! I am not one of those who condemn by wholesale: neither will I acquit by advance. While I say that the country have a right to look to you for a system of conduct diametrically opposite to the greater part of your past...
it; and who never incur the reproach of being accidentally pushed into error by the extreme exercise of a good quality. As none of your errors arose from meanness or want of spirit...
America is not a little infested with your party politicians who give themselves much credit for their integrity and patriotism; but whose conduct is calculated to impede the operations...
Such are the men who close their eyes at the approach of danger, seal their ears against evil tidings, and pretend to believe all is well.
Such are the men who prefer 'gain to glory, sloth to security, a hollow truce, supported by tribute, to a war for independence.
Such are the men who, having wheedled themselves into their views, have at length succeeded in seizing the helm of state, originally intrusted with able and experienced navigators...
ponto nox incubat aura.
The veterans who fought the battles of American independence, who cemented with their blood the pillars of our society; and to whose exertions in the cabinet and the field we are indebted under God for our existence as an independent nation...
Urged by these motives I propose to present the public a series of numbers under the head Demagogue Hunting, in which I will expose in native deformity some of the principal objects of the idolatrous worship of a dominant faction; and if the people will continue to worship the dagon of democracy...
ple will continue to worship the dagon of democracy, they will not only infallibly meet but richly deserve the doom of despotism.
The danger which impends over us this moment is infinitely more imminent than what threatened in any period of the late war. We have to fight France as a faction as well as an open enemy.
I am fully of the opinion expressed by the able editor of the Repertory, that the talents of the country, without regard to office, should be held in requisition. Extraordinary cases call for extraordinary remedies...

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.

Extract of a letter from St. Pieres, (Man.) 10th September 1806.
This morning presented to view, a most distressing sight, at day light the inhabitants began to assemble on the beach, to view the wrecks of seven vessels that had drove on shore during the night...
The following are among the American vessels injured.
Schooner Clide, Taylor, Boston, totally wrecked, but little cargo in; Harvey Garretson, Savannah, ditto, with upwards of 100 hhds of sugar; brig Sally and Betsy, Ingersol, Boston, carried away the head of her main-mast, with other damage by being run foul of.
The arrangements for a telegraphic communication between Plymouth and London.

by way of Portsmouth, have been but nine months in completing. The race is so great that numberless difficulties occurred in finding proper places for erecting stations to convey the communications; but the object is at length accomplished by thirteen stations between Plymouth and Portsmouth, and, we understand, the lords of the admiralty have begun to receive communications from Plymouth by the telegraph.
(London paper.)
The last accounts from Europe all confirm the idea that England, contrary to the expectation of almost every politician on this side the water, is nearly pledged to a peace with France. Imperious necessity may render the measure necessary, though the advantages which we enjoy in the war may induce the most of us to think it unwise and destructive. The following arguments from the Paris Argus of the 10th July, are copied to show why her enemy thinks she should desist from the war.
From the Paris Argus.
We have received London papers to the 4th July. They contain nothing more positive or important than the former. However, stocks still keep up. People are ever inclined to hope for what they ardently wish. If the silence of impartial journals inspires mistrust, the declarations of the new opposition prints are ill-calculated to excite apprehension. We have already assigned a reason for it. In examining the present situation of the ministry and of England, we would perhaps find the real grounds of the hopes of those who wish for peace; and the objections which the partisans of the war state, are nothing to the reasons of policy which press the English to terminate it.
England, say they, cannot consent that France should preserve on the continent, the influence which her possession and her victories have given her, nor that she should in a few years of repose recruit her connections, resume her commerce, recover all her colonies and give to her navy the splendour which she has a right to expect. However, they acknowledge that the emperor of the French will never consent to see the number of his ships limited, to receive laws in his own ports, and to restrain the independence of the national commerce; whence they conclude, that peace is impossible. But is it true that a peace, honorable and advantageous to both parties, cannot be made? Is there no means of putting a stop to the effusion of human blood and the misfortunes of Europe? God forbid we should think so!
The question is less what England desires than what she may henceforth obtain. She regrets the preponderance of France, but is unable to prevent it. She is forced to acknowledge it to be in a great measure the handiwork of her late ministry, the fruits of their political blunders. The prolongation of the war will perhaps only make bad worse, in the relative situation of England with the continent. She can no longer find any allies on it useful to her cause; she can no more rekindle war upon it without exposing herself to greater losses than she has occasioned. The most enlightened statesmen in England have thought that the state of warfare which France is forced into, authorizes her to take from her victories advantages which her moderation has hitherto neglected. Not to be the dupe of the war, she might complete the annihilation of English influence, and herein she would at this day meet with no formidable opposition. England, unable to oppose any efficacious resistance, should then endeavor to put a term to the hopes of France otherwise than in a war necessarily disastrous for herself. All delay heightens the evil of her situation!
But, say they, the emperor of the French will profit of the first moment of peace to re-establish his navy and revive his colonies; it is indeed to be supposed. But is it the more probable that France will thereby become a state essentially maritime and commercial? Can she preserve her greatness on the continent and aspire to the dominion of the seas? This pretension does not appear to be either in the principles or in the interests of her government. In the same manner as nature opposes England's ever having a regular force capable of carrying her arms with success upon the continent, it is perhaps impossible for France to wield the sceptre of the seas, without losing a part of the more solid strength which she has acquired. Besides, if this power puts the days of peace to profit, will England not profit still more of them by the prosperity of her trade, and the security of her existence? Her warehouses are loaded with merchandise, the vent of which becomes every day more difficult. The
public debt must augment during war; credit maintains itself only by the hope that it will be paid off; and it is allowed that this payment cannot take place till after many years of peace. The taxes grow heavier according as the interest accumulates. The vigilance of the new administration has discovered enormous abuses in the finances; the organization of the army is demonstrated to be defective. Ireland is still in an evident state of crisis; the grand work of her union can only be consummated in calmer times. The English colonies are not in a more flourishing condition than the parent state. The fortune of the planters is precarious; their commodities have no vent; their subsistence depends on neutral nations, who may become enemies; the company's affairs in the east, are in an equivocal state; a hidden fermentation is against it; it has only an uncertain government and secret enemies, who are conspiring its ruin. In fine, the more one examines the situation of the English people, the more one is frightened for them at the continuation of the war. The maritime successes which they have obtained have been of no advantage to them, whereas those of France are real for the moment and secured for the future. The one has only new dangers to run, the other only new success to pretend to.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at Tunis, dated July 9, 1806.
I am now on the site of the once renowned Carthage—where Scipio fought, where Hannibal conquered, where the intrepid old Belisarius himself drew out his legions and bid the light of Heaven for seventeen long days with the smoke of the noble city, destroyed by his own hand. About one mile from where I now sit, stands a stupendous archway and gate, the only entire surviving monument of ancient Carthage! This was the southern entrance into the town; and in its vicinity are a number of mutilated cisterns, and part of the aqueduct which brought water from the celebrated mountain of Zowan (within sight) which is more than fifty miles distant. Till within a few years there remained a fine reservoir of water, and a number of admirable memorial of human labor and perseverance, which were near an hundred feet high, supported by columns about sixteen feet square, and thirty apart: but his supreme excellency, the all-powerful and magnificent Mahmoud Ali Bey, his present worship, thought proper to build two or three paltry batteries to grace the rising grounds near Tunis, and caused all these fine arches to be pulled down, to furnish stone for that nobler purpose.
The cisterns (about sixteen or twenty remain to be traced) are indeed admirable specimens of the ingenuity of the ancient Carthaginians. They are about fifty yards long, ten wide, and fifteen deep, all under ground; and I imagine would contain sufficient water to supply Carthage five years, admitting two hundred thousand gallons destroyed daily.
From an English publication.
At a moment when the name and even the language of an Englishman are threatened with extinction, would it not be worth our while to draw closer our relations with the United States of America; and send amongst those republicans as minister a man of distinguished rank and importance in our own country?

EDWARD J. COALE, Register of the city of Baltimore.
Courage in Love sometimes successful. Thrasymedes, the son of Philometor, was deeply in love with the daughter of Pisis-tratus. Once meeting her, he with great respect and solemnity kissed her, which her brothers looked upon as a great affront; the father spoke to them thus, "If punishment be the requital of love, what must we do to those who hate us." Afterwards Thrasymedes having got some of his companions together, and observing his mistress sacrificing on the sea, he with sword in hand put her attendants to flight, and took her into his ship; but as he was sailing to Aegina he was taken by Hippias Pisis-tratus, her brother. Being brought before the tyrant, he boldly bade him to do with him as he pleased; adding, that he despised death when he resolved to take his daughter away. Pisis-tratus, admiring his courage, freely gave him his daughter in marriage.

JAMES KENNEDY, SEN. KING-STREET, RESPECTFULLY informs the public that he has removed from 10th & Co's Place and Family Medicine Store, New-York, a fresh assortment of the following  Valuable Medicines, which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded could be purchased at a retail price.
TAKE NOTICE That J. Kennedy, Sen. is appointed the only agent for ALEXANDRIA.  Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.  To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH, This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland. Gentlemen, 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 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. Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has seen upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the criminal or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.  And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  Stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Mystical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluorbus (or whites)  Obdurate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, bursley, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia. GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. W. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, by Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, is commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this it contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old; though no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in eating off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
slence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this it contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old; though no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in eating off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Acacides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.

Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian Church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon closer inspection quite teeming with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

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 always 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 most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial 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 well known in America, being of one first consequence in the state of Maryland; 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-place; to which may be added, the following testimony of respectable gentlemen residing in the city of Baltimore:
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; so's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I immediately obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles; the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore inclined 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, Harne-
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 Dobbin 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.
