ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named BOB,
Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantaloon with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantaloon nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons, one blue cloth coat much worn one old brown surcoat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expenses will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington. Allen B. Duckett. Washington City, May 13—14. df.

men were lost very early—eight of the men lingered out a wretched existence eight days, reduced to the lowest pitch of misery, having subsisted on the dead bodies of their fellow creatures. The captain soon after he was taken on board the vessel, Mr. Chalmers and the two seamen on the recovery.  The captain of the Surinam informed Mr. ... that he had captured an English vessel of 12 guns, a brig from Jamaica, a sloop from Trinidad and that he was at Philadelphia, under the order of General ... for cash, on account of the ... government.  With considerable regret we have to ... that his majesty's ship Bermuda, W. ... Esq. commander, was by stress of ... and strong varying currents, driven on ... the Bahama Bank, 2 miles to the N. E. ... Memory Rock, on the morning of the ... where she struck at half past two ... and unshipped her rudder; under ... circumstances it became necessary to ... her masts and every exertion to get ... was made, but without effect. At ... they discovered a large ship to ... which proved to be the Nossa Senhora ... Cruz to London, without her mizzen ... mast, close to a reef, which came to an ... about eight or nine miles distance ... of distress was made and the ship hoisted ... Portuguese colors. When it became mo- ... a lieutenant and boats crew were sent ... who found that she had lost her rud- ... and was making water at the rate of 15 ... an hour—Further assistance was sent ... pumps kept constantly going to keep ... from sinking.—Capt. Byam and part of ... crew arrived here on Wednesday last, in ... vessel and in the schooner Five Sisters, ... from Philadelphia to New Orleans, ... by Captain Byam; an officer and the ... remainder of the crew were left with the ship. ... a vessel with every assistance will be im- ... mediately despatched to save the ship's mate- ... and great hopes are entertained that she ... will be got off.  The brig Liberty, Captain Williamson, of ... arrived on Wednesday in 73 days ... Portsmouth, via Madeira.  The private armed vessel of war, Cerbere, ... Capt. Barnett, from a cruise, arrived yester- ... day and brought in as prize a Spanish felu- ... cheera, captured on her passage from ... Cayes to Havana, loaded with yellow ... and tobacco; she also captured during ... cruise two Spanish schooners which are ... expected.
May 11. Arrived since our last, his majesty's ship ... Bermuda, captain Bradshaw, from a cruise; ... his majesty's schooner Mullet, lieut. Bow- ... the brig Nassau, Sweeking, in nine days ... Bermuda; the schooner Eliza Ann, ... of New-Haven to Charleston, by his ... his majesty's schooner Mullet; and two Spanish ... schooners loaded with sugars, prizes to the ... private armed vessel of war Cerbere, Captain ... Barnett.  May 14. The Princess Charlotte, Captain Fulford, ... arrived and sent into Jamaica, the French ... of marque schooner General Ferrand, ... 15 guns and 30 men, commanded by Jean ... Antoine Gariscad, with 781 sacks of coffee ... on board from Baracoa bound to Charleston.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.  NEW-YORK, May 28. Arrived since our last, ship Ambition, ... 26 days from New Orleans, and ... 23 days from the Bahama Bank. Sailed in com- ... pany with the ship New York, George ... Adams, and Eleanor Lord both for New ... York in 8 days. Off Cuba, spoke the ... ship R. Barbour, Hall, from Baltimore, ... which was captured on the 4th of May, on ... the Bahama Bank, while at anchor, by two ... French privateers, and carried into an un- ... inhabited port of the island of Cuba, where ... her cargo was taken out, and the ship ... given up, to convey the crew and passen- ... gers to some safe port. On the 8th of ... May, the same privateers captured the ... schooner Mary, from New Orleans. Off ... the cap. of Philadelphia, saw the ship ... Alexander, Trader, from New Orleans for ... Philadelphia.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. TUESDAY, MAY 31.  Extract of a letter from London, dated the 20th April. "News is just received of the embargo being taken off in Holland."
The Perseverance, Giles, from Trinidad for Halifax. N. S. and ship Mentor, Wa- ... terman of New York for Catalonia were ... among the vessels burnt by the French fi- ... gates Hortense and Herminie, which ar- ... rived in France safe March 27. The Mi- ... tor had on board 450 pipes of wine; 100 the French took out. The captain and crew are sent prisoners to Verdun.
To all whom it may concern —A French privateer (says the New York Evening Post) which goes under the name of La Confiance, formerly the American schoo- ... ner Snake-in-the-grass, is now in his port ... of ... having already had new beams, ... and being already ab out to have a new deck. After all this she must undoubt edly have provisions for her voyage, if not ad- ... ditional equipments for a cruise. We trust, however, that those whose duty it is, will see to it, that she leaves not the port in a way respect better prepared to endure the Milan decree than she entered it; because that would be again the source of th U. S. in such case made and provided. This is the privateer which took the British packet Duke of Monmouth last winter, and is owned, we are authorised to state, in whole or in part by a French naturalized American citizen, who lives in Philadel- ... phia, but has lately been here to superin- ... tend his property.
On Thursday last (says the Philadelphia True American) sailed from New York on a cruise (no doubt against the Americans) the French privateer schooner Superior, captain Breward. This captain, after hav- ... ing captured Americans (see Nassau head) and molested a number of our citizens at various times, had the impudence to enter our port, to refit his vessel with new bul- ... warks, and other conveniences to a pri- ... va- ... teer, take in a large stock of provisions as per list below, by permission at least of our custom house, and on doubt of the execu- ... tive—and sail again with out any interrup- ... tion. Say also we are told, took a la g- ... sum of money to the amount of 6,000 and some say 60,000 dollars. This needs no comment—facts speak louder than words.
Port of Philadelphia, May 18 1808 Permit captain Breward to ... 25 barrels his- ... cult, 2 casks red wine, 50 barrels flour, 4 ... quinals rice, 15 barrels beef, 6 do. codfish, ... 15 do. pork, 4 do. cheese, 4 do. peas, 40 ... gallons vinegar, 2 hds. French brandy, 4 ... kegs hogs lard, 1 do. butter, 4 quinals ... onions, 3 jars beef allamode, 1 do. pic- ... kled pork, 2 do. fresh butter, 2 baskets ... sweet oil, 2 boxes gin, 65 lbs. codfish 50 ... lb. sugar, 10 gallons brandy, 12 dozen ... porter, 6 hams, 24 lb. sausages, 1 lb. pep- ... per, 24 dozen eggs. Being free according to law.
From Quebec, May 4.—In our last we no- ... ticed the balance of trade between the United States and this province, for the quarter end- ... ing the 5th of April last, which we make to be, in favor of the United States, 67487. 9s. 6d. A friend who looked into this matter with more attention than ourselves has oblig- ... ingly apprized us that this balance is of dry goods only. He has made an estimate of the value of all the other articles, which will be given in our next; by which estimation it ap- ... pears that the balance in favor of the United States, for that quarter is 22,1841. 1s. 5d— All the imports amounting to 26,4621. 6s. 3d. and the exports to 42761. 4s. 10d. the differ- ... ence forming the foregoing balance. If we last week exclaimed, O the wisdom of Amer- ... ican land embargoes! how much stronger ground is there for it now!
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE, OF THE REGISTER.  "LIVERPOOL, April 1, 1809." THE Packet so long expected, arrived on the 22d ultimo, but nothing official has yet transpired respecting the nature of the dis- ... patches which she conveyed to government. It is generally believed that Mr. Nourse may soon be expected here as negotiator in be- ... half of the American government; but we do not expect that the result of his mission will be publicly known until his return to the United States. We therefore conclude that some months must at all events elapse, before our commercial intercourse can be renewed; nor do we think it reasonable to expect its re- ... establishment until the British orders in coun- ... cil of 11th of November last be materially mi- ... tigated, or altogether rescinded.
"We enclose copies of the first and second Liverpool petitions, which have been present- ... ed to the different branches of our legislature respecting the orders in council, to which is annexed the printed address of Wm. Rath- ... bone, James Cropper, and T. Martin, the de- ... puties from Liverpool; on these petitions be- ... ing declared inadmissible by the house of commons—We likewise enclose copies of the London petition on the same occasion and of the third Liverpool petition. Both those last petitions have been presented to both houses of parliament from Manchester, Hull, and Cork, the prayer of the petitioners to be heard by counsel was at length granted. Deputies from various parts of the country are now there for the purpose of giving information and evidence. It is to be regretted, however, that the effect of this will be considerably li- ... mited, and in some degree counteracted, ow- ... ing to a prevalent desire to avoid opposition to the ministry."
"The evidence before the House of Com- ... mons began on the 23d, and that before the Lords began on the 28th of March. To what extent any good effect may hereby be produced, time will shew, but no disposition to relax from these ruinous measures has yet been shown by the Ministry. The Petitioners will however have the satisfaction of having done their best under circumstances peculiarly mo- ... mentous. An arduous duty has devolved on the deputies, but they are supported in the dis- ... charge of it by the consciousness of a desire that the intercourse between Britain and the U. S. may be preserved and strengthened by a mutual and constant adherence to the max- ... ims of an enlightened policy and to the just rights of both countries."
"The demand for American produce has increased, and the quotations in our letter of the 14th ult. would now be readily obtained, but the holders ask prices higher than the purchase are willing to give, in consequence of which the sales have hitherto been very in- ... considerable: Cotton has however been sold at an advance of 1d per lb. and ashes being very scarce, command 80 a 85s. per cwt. for pearls and 90s for pots."
"Wheat has not been sold higher than 12 to 13s 3d per 70lb and the buyers do not seem disposed to give advanced prices. The last accounts from the West Indies state that pro- ... visions were reasonable, and that no rise had taken place in consequence of the embargo, of which they had received intimation, but we fully expect that the next arrivals will convey information of some advance there, which very likely will produce a demand at higher prices in this market."
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN. EPITAPH, Designed for a monument to be hereafter e- ... rected in the new burial ground, City of Washington.
THE FIRST SESSION OF THE TENTH CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Descended from respectable parents, and pos- ... sessing all the means Of vindicating the rights and establishing the independence of her country upon a pure and honorable foundation. She surrendered the one and betrayed the other!
NOT CONTENT With the well earned applause of an approv- ... ing conscience, Which had cheered the last moments of her earliest ancestors, She shattered her constitution and exhausted her substance, By prostituting herself to the fatal embraces of a foreign imposter;
AND EXPIRED Paralytic in her head and limbs: The just reward of her national transgressions.
READER Wouldst thou learn what memorial she has left to remind posterity of her ephem- ... ical existence. NATIONAL CONFIDENCE REPAID WITH TREACHERY! DECEPTION BENEATH THE MASK OF PUBLIC SPIRIT! COMMERCE EXTINGUISHED! An exhausted treasury, an impending WAR, And a divided PEOPLE! Her country's character and fortune floating down the tide of SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT! Providence we may hope permitted her mis- ... deings that future generations might learn how fruitful of evils are perverted blessings.

Although a great variety of prescrip- tions have been published to cure the disor- ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose un- bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con- sequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq.

Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher. About three weeks since I was most violent- ly 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, drooping as I suppose from a severe cold; upon being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tis- sot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accord- ingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the applica- tion of which, under God, have perfectly re- stored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.  THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.  Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness- maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the af- fliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially it was recommended to apply at George Dob- bin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself per- fectly 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 ap- ply 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 com- plaint was entirely removed, and he is now re- covering his strength with great rapidity.

From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney- General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excel- lent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accom- panied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to re- commend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable me- dicine, and deserving public attention.  LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, ap- proaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speed- ily be expected, this medicine affords immedi- ate relief , moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be ex- pected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredi- ent, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In ad- dition to the great cures mentioned in the let- ters from the chancellor of the state of Mary- land, the Rev. Mr. Mollinger and others, late- ly published the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of show- ing the mild, yet powerful qualities of this ex- traordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the for- midable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Fw- bank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfect- ly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lo- zenges, which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder. Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Ma- gazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony of the remarkable Worm Destroying Lozenges. I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and lately often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offen- sive breath, with violent feverish fits and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The al- most incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance ex- pelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.  HENRY ACKERMAN.

The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu- matic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descrip- tion of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad- ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.— Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious 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 per- ilous 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

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Fa- mily Medicines , prepared by the late Rich- ard Lee, jun. which for near eight years pas- have acquired throughout the United States - celebrity hitherto unequalled. Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMIL- TON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giv- ing me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, say- ing, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to bus- iness. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
