Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED, ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE. Translated from the German, by M. G.

In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, renders it so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.

These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shewn to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

From the New York Evening Post.
FRANCE.
Yesterday awakened the curiosity of my readers to two interesting and extraordinary publications which I had received from France, and which I promised to give to day. Their length particularly of the second, renders it impracticable to give them both at once. Here follows the first: the second will be found in the Evening Post of Monday next.
A few introductory words may be expected as to the nature of these papers, and the manner in which they came into my possession. As to the last particular, I am not at liberty to disclose from whom I received them: that they are genuine I have no hesitation to pledge myself. The original in French, are now before me, sent by a gentleman in Paris to a merchant of the first respectability in this city.
These two papers were published at Paris in the form indeed of letters from individuals to individuals, but it is hardly necessary to inform any person whatever, that the press at Paris is more rigorously watched, guided and controlled by the agents of the government, than has ever been known in any country. Since the elevation of Bonaparte, not a syllable has been heard from the press, but what was first examined and duly licenced. These letters therefore are to be considered as the semi-official language of the French government. And the ability with which they are certainly written, the intimate knowledge they display of the subjects of which they treat, particularly the relations of the three countries, afford internal evidence of their origin.
The first was sent out directly after the news of our non-intercourse reached France: the second after the news of the arrangement between Mr. Smith and Mr. Erskine. The object of both undoubtedly, was to inflame the French people, and prepare their minds for war with the U. States: As a circumstance corroborative of which, I am authorised to mention it as a fact, that when the account of Mr. Canning's disavowal reached France, the most active and diligent efforts were made to get in every copy again. These which have reached us are among the few that escaped. The reader is now prepared for the perusal of these curious letters. And let him read them, and then doubt if he can, whether the hand of Napoleon was the source of our embargo or not.
Letters to Monsieur le Comte de *** on the repeal of the embargo law by the Congress of the U. States.
Temps Danais et dona ferentes.
Paris, May 10, 1809.
You enquire of me, Monsieur le Comte, what is my opinion relative to the raising of the embargo which has existed for upwards a year in the ports of the U. States?
In reply to you, I hesitate not to assert, that that measure is one of the most important and artful manœuvres ever practised by the British cabinet. This I shall easily demonstrate to you.
The closing of the Sound and of Trieste becoming more inevitable, the commerce of England was at length on the point of being cut off from all communication with the continent; toto diviso or be Britannos.—The vast prohibitory system, so wisely conceived by the genius which governs France, was about to be completely executed. Overstocked with the merchandises of the two Indies, without any possible outlet, her manufactures driven from the immense market of the American as well as from that of the European continent, England for once was on the verge of receiving the reward of her insatiable avarice, and of sinking under the weight of her ill-acquired riches.*
What was she to do to extricate herself from that critical situation, to transport to
* See on this subject the last speech in parliament of Mr. Whitbread. He ingeniously confesses that should France give to her system of prohibition all the extension of which it is susceptible, England would shortly be in the greatest embarrassment.
all the places in the world which her own vessels cannot approach, those vast collections of merchandises of every description continually accumulating upon the banks of the Thames?
The assistance of a people by nature adventurous, active, ambitious, possessing an immense number of merchant ships, able to navigate at a small expence, exploring every sea, dreading no danger to gratify a similar thirst for gold; that assistance she has just obtained by raising of the American embargo.
We learn by the last letters from America, that that measure has been destroyed, if I may say so, by open force, by the Federal party; that is to say, by the English party.
It is well known that at least two thirds of the American commerce is carried on with English capital, and on account of Englishmen.
From whence it follows that the renewed immense extension of the pretended American commerce, must in the end turn to the advantage of this same English commerce, which a moment ago was on the verge of ruin.
Who then can be the dupe of that pretended impartiality which congress affects to be desirous of preserving in its act for raising the embargo? The meanest shopboy in London would not be imposed upon by that clumsy artifice.
The congress addresses the same demands to France and to England.
It requires of both powers to respect its flag, it threatens to shut its ports against that one which shall violate its neutrality, and even to declare war against it. But this time, especially, when France is or is about to be deprived of her last possessions in the West Indies, the American people well knew that they have no longer any thing to fear from her in any respect, and that by keeping at a distance from our shores in Europe we cannot molest their vessels; whilst England, mistress of the seas, a neighbor of the U. S. can wound them sensibly in every quarter. It was then necessary, in order to seem neutral, to find a way to satisfy England, without appearing to submit to her tyrannical pretensions; and behold what has been devised, and already put in practice, according to authentic accounts.
At the departure of the dispatch vessel Mentor from New York, more than one hundred vessels were already laden or departed for Holland, where they well knew they would not be received and where they had not the intention to go. Several have already arrived in England, notwithstanding the prohibition of Congress and the bonds which have been required. On approaching the English coast, they cause themselves to be captured by the first English vessel they meet; they then prove that their cargo is English property—they are released with documents to prove their capture, which exempts them from the penalties incurred, they pay in England the duties fixed by the orders in council, and may then go whither they think fit.
But as these secret subterfuges would not be sufficient for all the operations of commerce in general; they have found another method to favor them in the greatest possible extent.
American vessels go (and many are already on their way) to the Island of Madeira, which will shortly become a vast entrepot; there they deposit their goods, the English will bring thither theirs, and an immense exchange of the merchandises of the two worlds will take place. The same thing will be done at St. Bartholomews, and at all the other pretended neutral places. The English manufactures will be accompanied by certificate of Swedish or German origin and may without obstacle enter the American continent.
From these different entrepots the Americans will inundate the Americas with English productions, they will fill with them all the ports of Europe into which they may be permitted to enter. And thus behold the English monopoly re-established in all its rights, in all its advantages, able to defray for one hundred years more the expences of a war which it alone supports, and which it has so much interest to prolong. And without the raising of the embargo how would England have been able long to subsist her colonies and her conquests? How would the Spanish colonies have prolonged their disobedience to the laws of their new sovereign? How would the unhappy island of St. Domingo have been able to feed the fury of the parties who lacerate it? How, in short, without the numerous supplies of every kind which are about to be carried to them would the revolted provinces in the south of Spain have resisted the force employed to reduce them to submission?
Thus, sir, on whatever side we look upon the question, the raising of the embargo is one of the greatest victories which England
ever gained in behalf of her commerce; one of the most destructive measures to the system adopted by the moderation of the European continent, which was at length on the point of gathering the fruits of so many privation and sacrifices, and which is perhaps about to lose them forever.
To console us for a resolution so disastrous to us, the U. S. are pleased to offer us the entry into their ports, of some wines and brandy. What compensation!
It would at present require twenty cargoes of those articles, to pay for a single one of colonial produce, and all the gold of France would quickly flow in torrents, as at the time, not long since when the Americans arrived by hundreds in our ports.
Who knows not that they give a marked preference to the wines of Madeira, of Spain and Portugal, as being more spirituous; to the brandies of Catalonia, as being cheaper; and that not content with consuming them themselves; they will carry them to the north of Europe, to the great prejudice of our own, which have already found there by land a very active export.
They will sell us tobacco—but will it suit us to suffer a new branch of agriculture to perish, which is daily making amongst us the greatest progress, and which frees us from an onerous tribute to foreigners?
Cotton—but cannot the Levant furnish us with a sufficient quantity, and receive in exchange the products of our rich manufactories?
Sugars and Coffees—Whence can they now obtain them, if it be not from the possessions of England or her conquests? and will they impudently bring us the produce of our own colonies, which have become the prey of our enemies? That would be too much. Besides, what need have we of those two expensive superfluities, the consumption of which does so much injury to the products of our agriculture? If our Sybarites cannot absolutely do without them, will our privateers suffer them to want?
We might, sir, add many other reflections to those which I have just made; but let us confine ourselves to this one. The Americans tolerated by us as neutrals, will do still greater injury with respect to the exportation of our corn. They can carry theirs to much better advantage to all the countries that consume ours. Their corn, at the same and even at a higher price, will always be preferred by the English. They will carry it to Spain, to Portugal, and will deprive us also of the last market which yet remained to the southern provinces.
All that we have hitherto said applies not only to France, but to all the countries subject to her control.
We may then draw the just and disagreeable conclusion,
That all maritime and colonial commerce allowed or tolerated upon the continent of Europe, will always turn to the advantage of the English nation, and will furnish it with means to prolong the war;
That the Americans are becoming their most powerful auxiliaries in that commerce, and that the veil under which they pretend to disguise it, will give it a new energy;
That it is in the highest degree the interest of France and her allies to destroy by all possible methods, this odious connivance between a nation who styles herself our friend, and the eternal enemy of our repose and prosperity.

P. S. I had just finished my letter, when I learned from an authentic source, that every thing is amicably and definitively arranged between England and the U. States; and as is said in the London papers of the 29th of April, to mutual satisfaction.
This frank and open proceeding of the U. States, is at least more decent than those which they had at first adopted. They are now under an engagement with England not to come to France nor to Holland, nor to Italy, and to take from them even the inclination to do so (admire the precaution) a new order of council of the 29th of April last, puts all those places in a state of rigorous blockade. All the ports of the U. S. are open as formerly, to the English commerce. This is well—it remains to be known whether these fortunate arrangements will not be deranged, whether he who can cause what he decrees to be executed, will suffer all the countries which surround France to be inundated with English merchandize, which would be fraudulently introduced into the interior of his empire; whether the frontiers of Germany and Switzerland will not be shut as rigorously as those of Holland, against every thing proceeding from the pretended American commerce; whether all the allies will not make common cause with us for the absolute exclusion of a too suspicious flag; whether the precautions will not be redoubled and carried to the last excess of severity; whether in short we must not learn to relinquish altogether some factitious enjoyments in or-
der to prevent one or two millions of men from perishing victims of English monopoly and of the cupidity of their accomplices.

Yesterday arrived, the brig Recovery, Capt. John Hull, 82 days from Hamburg, from whence after being embargoed two years he was permitted to depart with a cargo of linens. Left there, ship Two Friends, Livingston, of Charleston, still embargoed. The ships Lucy, Taylor, for Baltic, sailed same day with Captain Hull, and the ship Roba and Betsey, Captain Baldrey, left Hamburg for Petersburg, two weeks before Captain H. On his passage in lat. 43, 22, long. 29, 27, he spoke the brig Helen, Captain Mullet, of and from Marblehead, for Corunna, out 28 days, who had fallen in with a British ship of war, the Captain of which had endorsed his register.
Captain Bird, from New-York, on the 2d inst. lat. 34, 50, long. 73, 30, saw a sail bearing S. E. and soon after saw her laying too, on which he tacked and stood for her supposing her to be in distress:—they hove out boat and about 4 o'clock came alongside, the captain said she was the brig Charlotte, of Newport, and belonged to William Langley, was 36 days from St. Jago de Cuba and was in want of firewood.—The captain seemed to behave very strange. The crew said they had been ten days on the coast driving about with very little sail, and they thought they should not get into any port, as the captain and mate would give them no satisfaction, nor would they stand for any port and was very shy in giving a direct answer except, that he was bound to Newport. At 11 o'clock, there being a fine pleasant breeze from the southward, the said brig with her topgallant sails hand-ed, her topsails reefed, and jib & staysails down, stood with head to the S. W. for the space of 3 hours. At 12 lost sight of the brig, she then standing to the southward—a droll course for Newport.

Extract of a letter to a gentleman in Balti- more, dated Liverpool, June 19. 1809. Sir,
For some days previous to the 10th instant, the Irish channel swarmed with A- merican vessels, and from 11th to this day no less than 90 have arrived at this port. it was a pleasing sight, after so long an in- terruption of commerce between G. Britain and America, and we congratulate our friends most sincerely on the renewal of an intercourse which will be so much for the interest of both countries.
We have on the other side given you pri- ces of the different articles, but they must be considered nearly nominal, as, after this large importation of all kinds of American produce, you may suppose the market is very much overstocked, and that prices for some time to come will be very unsteady. We besides still expect a great many ves- sels from all parts of the United States, and until the arrival begin to slacken we shall neither see business on a regular footing nor an amendment in other prices.
New Upland cotton is from 13d a 14d per lb. and should much more arrive soon it may go still a little lower; sea islands in proportion at about 22d per lb.
Our stock of tobacco is very light, there not being more than 1400 hhds. in the warehouse; but 1850 hhds. are now ready to be landed, and we see little prospect of prices mending for some time to come.
Naval stores have experienced a wonder- ful depression; previous to the embargo be- ing removed we sold a cargo of turpentine at 88s per cwt. and now 18s cannot easily be obtained. Tar extremely dull at 26s per cwt.
Ashes. Pots are down as low as 40s and pearls 48s per cwt. but we are of opin- ion these prices will be obtained throughout the season.
All sorts of lumber is very unsaleable, and when our imports from British Ameri- ca take place it will be still more so. A few cargoes of timber just arrived have been sold at 3s per ft. but we see no prospect of this price being supported.
Flour and wheat are more in demand than any other kind of produce, the former is from 48 a 50s per bbl. and the latter 13 a 13s 9d per bushel; and notwithstanding there are about 40,000 barrels of flour al- ready arrived, and a considerable quantity of wheat as per the annexed statement, we do not see a prospect of a reduction in price, particularly for that which is perfectly sound.
We hope our next will contain more pleas- ing accounts of the markets; and with an assurance that we shall be at all times happy to hear from you.
We are, respectfully, Sir, Your most obedient serv'ts, COATES & HAY.
A true picture of France.—We learn, that, by Mr. Coles, a letter was received at Washington from a gentleman in Paris, whose private connections with the French ministry give him the best means of infor- mation. He states, that in the late action on the Danube Bonaparte lost from 40 to 50,000 men including the hitherto invincible veterans, who spread terror and conquest e- very where; that Lasnes, after two unsuc- cessful attacks upon the Austrian centre, seized a standard to excite the drooping courage of his troops and marched up with it a third time, but was again repulsed and received his mortal wound. The emperor in person attempted in vain to stimulate them to a third assault: his troops would not fol- low. The internal state of France is depict- ed as truly deplorable. Plantations, which formerly afforded splendid revenues, are en- tirely unproductive. One half of the labor of agriculture is performed by women and retired old men. In the midst of all this complicated misery, conscript are chained together and driven to reinforce the army.
Thus it is probable, that the endurance of the nation has reached the utmost point of its elasticity, and is about to break. The
letter represents Bonaparte to be in a truly critical situation.

The President of the United States left the city of Washington on Thursday last, for Montpelier.
On Thursday last the United States' frigate the President, captain Bainbridge, dropped down below the bar at the mouth of the Eastern Branch, whence she will shortly proceed on a cruise. We under- stand that this frigate has been fitted out in the highest stile in every respect, being, at this moment, greatly superior to what she was when originally fitted out; and is equal, if not superior to any vessel in the world carrying the same weight of metal.

NEW-YORK, August 3.
Two gentlemen of respectability, who came passengers in the brig Ceres, E. Hitch- cock, master, from St. Eustatia (which place they left on the 16th ult.) have seen with surprise the information given by captain Tubbs lately arrived at Boston respecting American vessels having been captured, car- ried into the islands of St. Eustatia and St. Martins, and condemned without any trial whatever. They think proper to take this method of contradicting the report made by captain Tubbs, it being without the least foundation.
Fourteen days previous to the above gen- tlemen's leaving the islands, a captain Oli- ver from Grenada, bound to Kennebeck, with about 70 puncheons rum, was brought into the former island by a French privateer and at their departure her trial was depend- ing in Guadalupe. The cargo had been landed in St. Eustatia to which measure captain Oliver gave his approbation in court. These gentlemen further assert, that for a considerable length of time no American vessel had been carried into either of the a- bove ports by French or other cruisers.
The captain of the ship Manchester re- ports for many days previous to his sailing there had been great rejoicing at Havanna in consequence of pleasing intelligence receiv- there from Spain.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, living in Prince George's county, Maryland, near the Woodyard, about the first of Sep- tember last, a Negro Man, named GUY, a- bout thirty years of age, about six feet high tolerable well made, is very black, his cheek bones are tolerable high, speaks quick and pert, has no mark as I know of by which he can be more particularly described. It is needless to give a description of his cloaths as what few he took with him must be worn out. I have been informed he has frequently been seen in Alexandria in the course of last winter and spring, and passed by the name of BUTLER, as a free man. It has since been reported he is dead, but I doubt it, as I can- not find from whence the report originated.— Should he not be dead, any person that will secure him in any jail so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward, and if brought home all reasonable charges.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
(Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walkes street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a co-incident of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others of their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON, No. 140, north Second Street.
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,
epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging, with slimy and foetid 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.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern sea ports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Incuded by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY,

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
