To those persons whose teeth are partially decayed, or are covered with the sceptic acid, or tartar, he will only observe that immediate relief may be obtained, and their teeth preserved, [free from pain] during life. His regular apprenticeship, long practice, and superior recommendations, (it is presumed) will entitle him to the confidence of those that require his assistance.

CANDID REFLECTIONS
On the important event, which has brightened the prospects of United America and evinced a change in her national policy.
AT a time when the federalists seriously rejoice in an important measure of the national executive and when the democratic party, with some exceptions, profess the same sentiment, it may be seasonable, and perhaps candidly received, to offer some retrospective remarks on our public affairs.
There is not an individual in the United States more solicitous to maintain the honor of the American government than ourselves. But we know that in the present enlightened state of society, it cannot be done by imposition or hypocrisy, nor maintained on false grounds. Mr. Madison has done well; we felt a sincere pleasure in ascribing to him the praise he deserves, but we can neither forget nor justify the errors which have retarded the happy event now announced to this time, and subjected our country to unprecedented distress, with the total and irrevocable sacrifice of many millions of property.
As the whole history of our collisions and our negotiations with Great Britain, is before the American public, and before the world, that contracted and malignant spirit which seizes the present occasion, as affording grounds for triumph and exultation, not only tends to sour the minds of those, whose friendship Mr. Madison appears willing to cultivate, but must actually reflect disgrace on the American character, for it is unbounded—G. Britain has in an eminent degree displayed that conciliatory spirit, which we have uniformly attributed to her councils: she has relinquished ground which she might in justice, held forever, for the sake of an accommodation. Our government has receded from the absurd ground it had taken, and in so doing deserves the praise of every American citizen and the respect of the world.
That this is the true state of the case, will inevitably follow from a review of facts.—We ought not to admit an obvious truth with reluctance, particularly as a return to rectitude reflects glory on a nation as much as on an individual. To personify, the American government, it may say,
"I do not shame To tell you what I was, since my conversion, So sweetly tastes, being the thing I am."
The mere satisfaction of shewing the supporters of Mr. Jefferson and his wretched policy, that the glory they claim from his measures, is ridiculous, would not be worth our attention. Little, fretful, and malicious minds, must develop—they cannot be persuaded to conceal their weakness nor their vices. We expect them to follow their nature, and the present occasion will give them ample scope. But while this is no motive to animadversion on the past, we conceive it now a duty to assist the public mind in obtaining the only good we can derive from Mr. Jefferson's policy, which has been prolific in incalculable evil. He has given politicians a lesson which if properly improved, may be a lasting security, in the management of our national concerns, against ever falling into similar embarrassments, or our ever experiencing similar calamities.
To prevent all cavils, to silence all the frothy boastings of a party who wish to make this country forget its sufferings by a delusive appearance of complete triumph, let us look back to the pretended causes of the several impolitic and distressing measures, which our government adopted; let us enquire what they asked, and see what they have gained.
Before the British orders of council, all friendship was at an end between our government and that of Great Britain, at least on the part of the former. Our merchants were appalled; they knew not what to expect; their enterprise was checked and the circle of commercial transactions completely broken—Our government set out to resist the principles of British maritime law, with respect to the colonial trade—and they set out to maintain that the American flag should protect all who sailed under it. It was with these views we first began that system of hostility, which ended in all the miseries of a fifteen months embargo. It is true some other difficulties supervened;—and what were they? What is their history?
The Chesapeake was attacked and we now receive that atonement which we might have received immediately—in fact the essential part of the atonement was voluntarily made at the time. The king disavowed the act, and the aggressor was punished.
The orders of council supervened—and what is the result? After two years bickering and self-punishment, we are now bound by the most solemn obligations of faith and honor to take that ground which should have been taken, when the Milan decree was published—We are now pledged to do what we then ought to have done from a regard to our national rights and honor.—This pledge has been given without the least concession of any point which was in controversy between Great Britain and our government. There was a point of honor between them and France, and with us they had never asserted any condition on which they would repeal their orders, for they uniformly professed and maintained, that these orders were adopted with respect to their enemy alone, and a large portion of their statesmen always maintained, that in point of true policy, as it respected their own interest these orders were injudicious. Here then unless we are positively contending for France, though we have acquired an advantage by the rescinding of the orders, we have gained no victory. The British were not pledged to their orders as it respected us.
With respect to the atonement for the Chesapeake alone, they have yielded a point in punctilio, in some measure—not altogether; for their ships of war are no longer exclusively interdicted, which was a consideration that labored. Say however, that in this affair of punctilio, we have kept our ground, and have now gotten the reparation we might have had before, on our own terms—we ask the advocates of the Jefferson policy—we ask those who have witnessed the sufferings of this country, for fifteen months past, whether the advantage of having atonement made before the interdiction of British vessels was removed, is sufficient to justify the monstrous sacrifices which we have sustained, in maintaining that ground.
This we repeat and maintain is the only consolation, our only boon for all the calamities we have experienced, the only step we have advanced by our mighty struggle.
For by becoming now pledged to resist the decrees of France, we must do what would have prevented the orders of council. Great Britain stands just where she did before her orders were issued, and has gained of us a solemn assurance that we will maintain our neutrality against France.
But to return to the first causes of that hostile attitude which we assumed toward England; our boasted weapons are laid aside—our intercourse with that nation is restored, and the laws which respect colonial trade, and the right of impressing British subjects from American merchantmen, remains just as they were. For this Jefferson waged his war of commercial restrictions, and Mr. Madison has very wisely rejected his plan. We are happy to find that he means to rely on amicable negotiation, and have not the least doubt, that if no more be required than the established principles of law, equity and reason will justify, we shall soon have the satisfaction of seeing, and the advantage of enjoying, a perfectly good understanding.
From the Freeman's Journal.
GRANADA.
The following most romantic and delightful description of the city of Granada, in Spain, is extracted from a scarce, curious, eccentric, and (we suspect) in some measure fabulous work, entitled, Las Guerras Civiles , or the Civil Wars of Granada, originally written in Arabic, by Abenhamin, a Moorish author.
The illustrious and renowned city of Granada was founded by a very fair lady, the daughter or niece of king Hispan; it was originally built in a delightful spacious plain, at the foot of the Sierra Elvira, near the village of Albolote (in Arabic, Albolub) about two leagues from its present situation, receiving the name of Iliberia from the infanta its foundress.
After a few years the inhabitants, not being altogether pleased with the spot, removed to the neighborhood of the Sierra Nievada (the Snowy Mountain) and built the present city between the two rivers Genil and Darro, formed by the melting of the snow on the mountain. In the sands of the Darro is found gold, and in the Genil silver (as the Moorish author relates) and this is no fable, as Gines Berez adds that he has repeatedly seen both gold and silver collected
out of these rivers. In this latter situation was this famous city re-founded upon three hills, as it appears at the present day; and upon each of these hills a castle was erected; the first called the Red Tower, fronting the Genil and the Vega, or the plain (a plain twenty-four miles in length, and twelve in breadth, watered by two small streams, the Veito and the Monachil, extending from the skirts of the Sierra Nevada to the fountain of Pines, and onward to a great wood, called the wood of Rome) and the quarter of the city immediately round the Red Tower, which is extremely populous, is called Antequerela. The second castle, or fortress, stands upon an adjoining hill, rather higher than the former, and is called the Alhambra; this being a place of considerable strength, was chosen for the residence of the kings of Granada. The other castle, or fort, stands upon a third hill, named the Albaycin, where also the town is very full of inhabitants. Between the Albaycin and the Alhambra flows the Darro, whose banks are beautifully adorned with trees.
This city was not, like the former, called Iliberia, but Granada, from the circumstance of a very beautiful damsel named Granata, being found in a cave near the Darro, and from whom, by the corruption of a letter, the city took its new appellation. Others, with equal probability, suppose that the vast number of houses lying close together, like the kernels of a pomegranate, gave origin to the name.
The description of the surrounding country is no less romantic.
The morning of the second day had no sooner begun to dawn, than the knights prepared to advance to Granada; and putting on the Turkish garments they had provided over their armor, they mounted their fiery steeds, and entered the beautiful campaign of the Vega, and rode gently onward towards the city, admiring on all sides the beautiful views, the diversity of the streams meandering through their varied courses, the gardens, vineyards, and orchards, full of trees, and bending with the choicest of fruits to the ground, which made the country appear to them like an earthly paradise; and let not the reader marvel at the beauties of nature which presented themselves to the cavaliers, for no bed of carnations, or of the sweetest scented herbs, was ever more highly cultivated than every spot of ground, whether it was situated far off or near the city, or whether it was hill or valley, by the Moors, and which is at this time a barren waste. The soil then produced abundance beyond conception, and its fertility may in some measure be conceived, when it is considered, that the year before Granada was lost, it contained one hundred and eighty thousand men capable of bearing arms, besides a great number of old men, women, and children.
* The Spanish government now prohibits any one, under severe penalties, from searching these rivers.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
SHIPWRECK, &c.
We stated in a former paper, that the ship Monticello, from Lima, fell in with the wreck of a vessel at sea, on which was found a man, the last of the crew, who had preserved a precarious existence for a number of days by feeding upon the bodies of his comrades.
This statement, in the first instance, was considered too extravagant to be true; but it is now known to be a fact. It was also said that the crew cast lots, which of them should die, to sustain the lives of the remainder; but this is not confirmed by the narrative of the survivor. He admits, however, that where any of his comrades died from hunger or thirst, he was driven to the necessity of existing upon their remains.
When the captain of the Monticello took this wretched man on board his ship, he gave him a change of clothes and linen, and would not suffer him to take much sustenance at one time. The first nutriment he gave him was two cups of coffee and a small piece of toast, and by adhering to this system, in the course of a few days the man was quite restored to health. He proved a most excellent sailor, and was a great acquisition. But is a curious fact, that not one of the crew of the Monticello would, for a length of time, associate with him on account of the diet he had fed upon: hoping to cure them of their prejudice, the captain kindly invited the unfortunate seaman to his table; but this had not the desired effect; on the contrary, those persons who usually messed with the captain deserted his table. Time, however, and the general good conduct of the man, restored him to the society of his shipmates. In relating to them his sufferings on board the wreck, he abstained, as much as possible, from mentioning the
manner of his subsistence; but the crew themselves had witnessed his food hung up in the shrouds, at the time he was taken from the wreck.
Particulars given by the wrecked marine are these; his name is Thomas Moorhead, a native of the county of Durham; he served his time to the seas in the coal trade; the ship in which he was wrecked was the Acorn, captain McLeod, of Stockton, to which they were bound, from America, when, on the 30th Oct. a severe gale of wind came on, in which the ship made a great deal of water, and all hands were set in lat. 51, long. 48, by which misfortune the carpenter and a black man were drowned. In about ten minutes, the sea carried away the mainmast and she righted again. At this period the sea made a clear passage over the ship, but she could not well bear, being laden with timber. The master, Andrew Brass, and John Simpson, a boy, were washed overboard, but at day light the master was washed on board again having been for some hours clinging to the pieces of the wreck. All hands next proceeded to the foretop, and in 5 hours time two more of the crew died in consequence of the inclemency of the weather. Soon after the timber man, Francis Bradley, Christopher Bales & Thomas Bales, boys, nearly the whole of the remainder of the hands, were frost bitten. In this deplorable situation they all remained in the top four days, when not a fragment of the cabin was to be seen. Every thing was washed out of the cabin windows, except three pieces of meat, which were found in the stern sheets. The ship's rudder parted on the 12th of November. Thomas Charlton, and the boy Charles English, died on the 23d—the master prolonged a miserable existence to the 12th Dec. on which day he died. Wm. Pearson fell a victim to thirst. All the water casks were swept off the deck when the vessel upset on the 31st; the little moisture they procured was from the rain that fell, and which they caught in their hats, &c. in the foretop. The Monticello fell in with the wreck of the Acorn, in lat. 41, long. 25, when the captain humanely sent a long boat for Moorhead. He was taken out of the top where he had been fifty-one days, and towards the latter end expecting to share the unhappy fate of his companions.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.
Latest from England.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Levant, captain Forment, in 45 days from London, with dry goods to Hector Kennedy. The British February packet arrived at Gravesend from New York the day the Levant sailed. On the 2d May, the Levant spoke the British ship Harriott and Matilda, 53 days from Bristol bound to New York in distress, under jury foretopmast; no main-topsail yard, topgallant sail set for mizzen-topsail, had lost all his boats, but was not in want of provisions. The Levant fell in with a great quantity of ice upon the Banks.
The editors of the Freeman's Journal have received files of the Globe, the Courier, the Observer, and the Day, to 24th of March, inclusive. Their contents, however, have been generally anticipated by former arrivals. One article in the Globe, however, is deserving of consideration. Paglafox, it seems, did not die seven days before the surrender of Saragossa, as stated in former arrivals. The Globe contains extracts from Paris to March 11, which, after mentioning the surrender of Saragossa, says, "the life of Paglafox is despaired of." The report of his death then, was not true, it is even possible he is yet living.
The ships Native and Polly were to sail for Philadelphia, in ten days after the Levant.
LONDON, March 24.
A gentleman who arrived from the continent on Tuesday last, states, that France had declared war against Austria, and that the declaration was published at Paris on the 17th inst.
At Dresden (Saxony) measures have been taken to protect the town from attack, which were become the more necessary, as a great quantity of Austrian cavalry was cantoned near the Saxon frontier, and the archduke Charles was arrived at Prague. The garrison of this city has already marched, and it is said that a powerful Austrian army is already collected at Praga.
According to intelligence from the Maine of the 3d of March, Russia is laboring to compose the differences between the two powers.
Letters from the south of France, received at Frankfort the 7th of March, state, that the communication with Spain by way

of Perpignan through Catalonia, is not altogether free. The French have strong garrisons in Rosas and Figueras; but in the neighborhood of Gerona, and beyond, there are still numerous bands of insurgents, who indeed are dispersed as soon as regular troops approach, but as soon as these retire, they appear again and render the plains insecure. At Perpignan an army of reserve has been formed, probably designed to besiege Gerona, while St. Cyr has advanced towards Arragon, in order to unite with the French marshals. In Barcelona also a strong garrison is left behind.
[Delf Courant, 16th March.] PARIS, March 10. According to intelligence from Saragossa the life of Palafox is despaired of. The people hold him in such abhorrence, that it has been found necessary to have a guard at the door to prevent his being stoned. Four gibbets were raised to hang every one who carried these sentences in their hands. Two monks of Palafox, Basilis and Boursa, publicly shot. The instance has manifested the great sagacity of the people, who have themselves delivered Palafox to the executioners. Two wretches, who have been found in the sufferings of Palafox, have been hanged. More than 10,000 pieces of war machinery, and 2000 of war horses, have been taken. Fifteen thousand prisoners have been sent under the escort of 10,000 men, by way of Pamplona, to Morlot, by way of Pampeluna. Gen. O'Neile is at Bayonne. Gen. O'Neile is gone again. The duke of Treviso is gone again.
May 10. The British brig Friends, Metcalf, arrived at Jamaica, on the 3d of April, from Philadelphia—she was the first vessel that carried the news of the partial raising of the embargo. Yesterday arrived brig Clio, Renegan, from St. Jago de Cuba, he brought with him 45 passengers, chiefly women and children, being part of the French inhabitants ordered off by the Spaniards; 2000 of whom had sailed for the Mississippi in vessels hired for that purpose. He informs that business was dull owing to the great emigration of the French that flour was selling at ten dollars a cwt. Capt. R. has handed us the following list of vessels at that port: Brigs Hawk, Fraley, of Philadelphia; Charlotte, Watson, of do. uncertain; Atlantic, Dodson, of do. to sail in 15 days; Brutus, Michaels, of do. discharging; Sch's Favorite, Grifing, of do. to sail in 6 days; Louisa, Wallington, of do. vessel sold; Little Mary, Hawkins, do. do.; Milford, Handy, do. discharging; Mohawk, Cooper, for Norfolk in 2 days; Harriott, Butler, of Norfolk for New Orleans; ship Arctic, Davis, of do. for Charleston, with passengers; ship Ann Elizabeth, Sheppard, of do.; ship Orion, Vicker, of do.; schrs.

Same day arrived, brig Superior, Hays, who informs, the day before he sailed, two large vessels, with dry goods, arrived there from London, but finding the duties lately laid so high, they were debating whether they would land their cargoes, or proceed to another market. He also informs, the Minerva, (mentioned in our last) had ran aground on one of the keys and was obliged to put into Nassau to refit, from whence he brought part of the materials and some of the people of a vessel cast away at Abaco, where two other American vessels were also wrecked, but captain H. does not recollect the names of them. On the 8th instant, in lat. 35, off Cape Hatteras, he spoke the brig South Carolina, Green, from this port for Charleston, all well. Same day arrived, sloops Two Friends, captain Armstrong, from St. Bartholomews,
which he left the 28th ult. on which day he met and spoke brig Jane, Linch, going into St. Bartholomews, who said he was from another island, and meant to sail next day for St. Eustatia, but could not learn what port he belonged to. He left there brig Polly and Betsy, Selby, of this port to sail in 5 or 6 days for Havana.
By capt. Hay of the brig Superior, we have received Havana papers to the 1st inst. They are filled with accounts (very vague and contradictory) from old Spain. We translated the two following articles in order to evince to our readers, the tenor of their contents. In the Havana Aurora of the 29th ult. there appears to be a long address of the junta of Cadiz to the inhabitants of that city. If it possesses sufficient interest we shall give a translation of it in a subsequent number. It does not appear, that accounts from Spain received at the Havana, come down even to the date of the surrender of Saragossa as they speak very confidently of the advantages gained by the patriots in that city, and even of the entrance into it of gen. Doyle.
[TRANSLATED.] Postscript to the Havana Messenger, of the 27th April. "The Spanish schr. Union has just arrived in this port from the Canaries, from whence she sailed the 23d ult. By him we have received a paper of the 9th ult. from which we extract the following intelligence: "On the 6th inst. arrived here the schr. Galjo, capt. Francisco Sla from Coruña and Gijon, in 13 days passage. By her letters received by this arrival, we learn that Gen. Reding had taken Barcelona and that it was by storm: that the French entered Montjuich on the 18th Jan. and Ferrol on the 27th. In the north, an insurrection was excited, in which one half the French garrison was killed, and the other half made prisoners of war. In Asturias, there were 30,000 Spaniards in arms, who were endeavoring to cut off the retreat of the French who were in Galicia. Claros, have quis of Lazan and the Cantabric victories of made inroads into the country, France.
Santa Cruz, (Ferm.) March 16. We have received a letter from Cadiz dated February 28, from a person who hitherto has written in rather a gloomy style. It says, "our situation for some weeks past has been rather critical in consequence of the dispersion of our armies and the re-embarkation of the English; but affairs have now assumed a very favorable aspect, the French having been repulsed with great loss in various attacks on Saragossa. In Catalonia they have been defeated in several actions by general Reding. The army of Estremadura and La Mancha, under Cuasta, is daily augmenting. Romana has an army of 60,000 Spaniards, Portuguese and English. A further reinforcement of 25 or 30,000 is expected from England.
Bonaparte left Spain the 17th Jan. He has lost, by the lowest calculation, from the month of May, more than 100,000 men; and altho' he may still have a greater number in Spain, they cannot exceed 140 thousand. If Austria, as is very probable, has declared war against him, he can send no further reinforcements this way. We may therefore consider it as certain, that he will NEVER CONQUER SPAIN; through the whole of which there is a general fermentation directed towards the expulsion of the enemy." We have received several other letters to the same effect.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. [From the Baptist Magazine.] THE DOVE. The following extraordinary circumstance respecting the conduct of a Dove, may be relied on as a fact. It took place on the first Lord's day in August last, in the Baptist meeting house in Pawlet, in the state of Vermont, in the time of public service; consequently several hundred people were witnesses of this singular event. "The Rev. Mr. Beal, pastor of the Baptist Church was called upon in the intermission to baptize. He preached to the people that day from Psalm xcii. 1, 2, and in illustrating his subject he took occasion to bring into view the descent of the Holy Ghost, in bodily shape like a dove, on the head of our glorious Redeemer, at his baptism. Before he had done with the subject, a dove flew in at the door of the meeting house, and lit upon the cornice over the pulpit, and soon hovered down and lit upon the top of the speaker's head: from thence it went down on to his right shoulder. At length it walked out upon his left arm, (that being at the time extended) from which it hovered down, and sat upon the Bible before him. After sitting on the Bible for some time, it spread its wings and flew out at one of the gallery windows.
"It was judged that the time that this incident happened, was half an hour. It did not appear to break, but rather to help his ideas in preaching. It has also, as was thought, on effect on his mind. It has occasioned, the whole assembly. It has occasioned, (says the writer from whom this extract is taken) much talk in this vicinity. But the end God had in this providential occurrence is yet kept a secret." We have thus simply narrated the above fact, and leave the reader to make his own comments upon it.
A song—from the original Irish. How majestic thy neck, & enchantingly fair How softly resplendent the hue Of thy long golden locks that enamour the air, And the heart of fond gazers subdue. Wherever thou art, blooming branch of delight! All beauty beside disappears— Like pearls set on coral thy teeth are as white, And thy look like a May morning cheers. Benevolence sits on thy brow, 'tis her throne, Thy bosom is pity's pure shrine— A thousand fond youths in despondency groan, That have gaz'd on thy features divine. Yet why should I fear benedictions to pour, (Notwithstanding my fate it should be, To encrease that unfortunate number once more) O sweet Nancy Cooper! on thee?
THE LADIES FASHIONABLE MODE OF SHOPPING. Here comes Miss Lighthead and her tasty sister! Jack, off the counter, wait upon the ladies; Show 'em what they call for, tell the price of each piece! Do your best to please 'em. Have you any cambrics, that are yard and half wide? What's the price of that 'tape striped dimity'? Three and six-pence, Madam—let me see a better— Give me a pattern. Have you any stockings, very nice, with lac'd clocks?
What are these a pair, Sir?—'Madam they are eight shillings' 'I'm sure I saw much better, for only six, at Draper's,' They will not answer. I'll look, Sir, at that Lustrig—is eight and six the lowest? I'll give you seven shillings'—'That's less than what it cost, Ma'am.' 'I'll give you seven and six-pence'—'Madam you may take it.' 'I'll call again, Sir.'
HOME. Cling to thy Home, if there the meanest shed Yield thee a hearth, and shelter for thine head, And some poor spot, with vegetables stor'd, Be all that pride allots thee for thy board; Unsavory bread, and herbs that scattered grow Wild on the river's brink, or mountain's brow; Yet ev'n this cheerless mansion shall provide More heart's repose than all the world beside!
TRUE FELICITY. A person once observing to an ancient Greek philosopher, that it was a great happiness to have what we desire—the sage replied, 'but is it not a much greater happiness to desire nothing but what we have?'

Doctor I. J. Comyn, A professional DENTIST of Baltimore, RESPECTFULLY acquaints the Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his profession. No gentle person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or fetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of chemical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America. It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, as to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction. May 13. N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern.

USEFUL PROPERTIES OF  YARWOOD'S  Patent Washing Machine. THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the possibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and attended with little expence. A further description of its qualities is now deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed none will purchase without examining it. We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above description. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, from the subscribers, two Slaves, named BILLY and NELLY.—Billy is a mulatto man, and sometimes calls himself WILLIAM JORDAN AUGUSTUS—his color nearly as light and approaches that of a white man, his hair is straight and he generally wears it platted and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin and his cheek bones high—he has been brought up in the house and is a very good dining-room servant, is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight built, his constitution is not very strong and he is subject to indisposition—he is about 30 years of age. NELLY is tall and rather inclined towards corpulency, a tawney color and about forty-five years of age. They went off together as man and wife, but it is very probable Billy will attempt to pass as a white man and will endeavor to sell Nelly as his slave. The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and securing of the said Slaves, if taken up on the north side of the river Potomac, and information given thereof to their respective proprietors. A reasonable reward will be given if taken within the state of Virginia, and reasonable charges will be paid if brought home. George Carter, Oatlands, near Leesburg, Virginia. A.

JUST RECEIVED, FOR SALE ONLY BY  James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, The following highly valuable MEDICINE Price 3 dollars per bottle.  DR. JEBB'S  NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL. THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, or continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth, which brings on so prematurely the decrepitude of old age. In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine. Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes. In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published) have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health. The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings. This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public. ALSO,  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.) NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laced 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, Gouts, 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 must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their 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 so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gilson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above. March 11.
