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.
 John Sellers,  John Markland,  Elizabeth Lomax,  Sufan Sellers,  Samuel Hatterflay.  Eleanor Bufel,  Sarah Drown,  Mary Higdon,  John Drown. 
I have examined the above Machine, seen it in operation, and believe it to answer the description.

BY THE LAST MAIL.
BALTIMORE, May 6.
Latest from England.
By the Temperance, 44 days from Liverpool, the editor of the Federal Gazette has received files of London and Liverpool papers to the evening of the 23d of March, inclusive, several days later than former accounts. The most important items follow. It appears, from a hasty perusal of our files, that great activity pervades the hostile courts and armies of Europe. Indeed, figuratively, the whole continent is in a state of fusion. Sweden in rebellion; war raging through Saxony, Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal. With all his characteristic rapidity, Napoleon could not prevent the Austrians from strengthening their own cause and confidence by obtaining the first victory. The London papers state, that the French were beaten in their designs on Trieste, and the Austrian van has penetrated beyond the Bavarian troops, cutting them off from the French grand army.
But, without the aid of Russia, Austria has slender hope. We can but shudder while anticipating the murder of her people the sacking of her cities and the conflagration of her temples! Happy Columbia! at peace with Britain, we may defy the great destroyer.
LONDON, March 20.
We have seldom had to announce more important intelligence than we have to-day, both foreign and domestic.
The duke of York has resigned. On Saturday morning his R. Highness went to Windsor, and tendered to his royal father his resignation. It is said to have been tendered in the form of a letter to his majesty, containing the reasons which had directed his royal highness to take this step, and to take it at the present moment. His majesty was graciously pleased to accept his resignation, and the earl of Chatham, or as others say, sir David Dundas, is appointed to succeed him. But this arrangement we trust, will soon give way to a measure by which the army shall be managed by a Board, as the navy has been with so much advantage to the public service.
We rejoice sincerely in this event, which indeed may be considered as a great triumph gained by the constitution of the country. The duke of York has taken a very proper and judicious course, and no further proceedings we should suppose at least we should hope, will take place in the house of Commons.
[Courier]
ARRIVAL OF A FLAG OF TRUCE. A flag of truce arrived at Dover on Saturday from Boulogne, with dispatches for the transport office, which were immediately forwarded to London. The vessel was ordered to sea as soon as she had delivered her dispatches and returned to Boulogne. The master of the vessel says, that the expectations in France of peace with this country are very feeble. The renewal of war upon the continent has thrown a great gloom over the public mind.
An English woman, aged 92, came over in the flag of truce. She had been a prisoner in France a considerable time, having been thrown upon the coast from a merchant vessel from the westward, that went on shore. The dispatches are said to relate to an exchange of prisoners.
INSURRECTION IN SWEDEN.
Dispatches have been received from the Baltic, which we grieve to state, give an account of an insurrection having broken out in Sweden tending to revolution. Several thousands have risen in the province of Warmland, and were on their march from Garistood to Stockholm, to compel the king to call a diet. They had issued a proclamation, complaining of the war, taxes, &c. and requiring a change of measures.
An American brig is arrived at Falmouth from Bordeaux, in eight days, (detained)—the master reports, that the L'Orient squadron, consisting of 3 sail of the line, and 3 frigates, with troops and provisions on board, had sailed for the W. Indies.

LONDON, March 21.
Accounts have been received to the 7th of March from the coast of Spain, near Vigo, Pentevedra, and Villa Gracia. That part of the country is in open & determined insurrection against the French. There have already been several skirmishes, and
the peasants, we are happy to hear, have been often successful. There are about 800 French in Corunna, 1500 in St. Jago, 300 in Padrin, 4000 in Pentevedra, and their main body, consisting of about 10,000, was between Tuy and Orence. Romana's army was beyond Montinez, on the borders of Portugal.
But against these favorable symptoms must be set an event more disastrous to Spain than the loss of a battle or a province. He who was an army in himself, whose name was a tower of strength, Palafox, is said to have departed this life a few days after the surrender of Saragossa. He died too soon for his country's happiness, tho' not too soon for his own glory. The melancholy intelligence is announced in the Paris papers, and the mind immediately suspects, that he who did not shrink from shedding the blood of a prince of the house of Conde, of a British officer his prisoner, of a general whose fame he envied, has not hesitated to blacken his soul with another murder, and to add another victim to the long list of those who are now pleading against him at the bar of heaven.
SWEDEN.
We communicated yesterday the intelligence of an insurrection in Sweden. It is said that several thousand peasants have risen in the province of Weirmiland, and were proceeding from Carlstadt to the capital. We have heard that a general officer has put himself at the head of a body of military, and taken possession of Stockholm, whence the king had retired under the protection of about three thousand troops, who have remained faithful to his person. A declaration has been published by the insurgents containing a statement of their grievances, arraighing the war as the cause of them, and insisting upon the re-establishment of peace as the only means by which they can obtain either alleviation or redress.
About the time the French were marching against Trieste, the Austrians entered Bavaria, on the frontiers of which an action is said to have taken place, where the French were worsted, and the Austrians pursued their march with all possible speed into the heart of Bavaria. The disabling the treacherous monarch of that country from uniting his troops with those of France, will be of great advantage to the Austrian cause. Acting, too, in another quarter with that vigor and promptitude which are new in the history of the military movements of Austria, at least in the history of her movements of late years, she is said to have sent a division of her army into Saxony, which has taken possession of Dresden. This operation is rumored to have taken place with the concurrence of the king of Saxony. If it be true, it would afford us reasonable ground for believing that the court of Petersburg was not unfavorably disposed to the court of Vienna. The possession of Dresden by Austria would isolate the French divisions in Custrin, Dantzic, and other places, from the main body of the French army, and the king of Prussia may yet have force enough to act with effect against those divisions.
Such are the contents of the private letters from Holland. For our own parts we should have been more inclined to suppose that the French would have been the first to occupy Dresden, and with respect to the king of Saxony having consented to give the Austrians possession of his capital, we must hesitate in giving credit to it. We shall be glad, however, to find our doubts unfounded.
The emperor of Russia has determined to remain neutral; a determination which has given much offence to Bonaparte, who filled Europe with such boasting assurances that the emperor Alexander was to co-operate with him with his whole force in any project whether for peace or war.
There is no doubt of hostilities having commenced upon the continent, and this information we communicated last night in part of our impression. The Dutch papers to the 18th which arrived last night make no mention of this event, though they are full of the movements of troops, confess that the last hopes of peace have vanished, and state that the French minister has left Vienna. The account of the commencement of hostilities is contained in private letters. The first blow was in a quarter where we did not expect it. General Marmont, the commander in chief of the French army in Dalmatia, resolved to make an attempt to surprise Trieste, a most important point. He advanced in a heavy storm of snow with about 20,000 men. But this movement was suspected by the Austrians, who had time to take the necessary precautions, and advanced from Trieste to meet the enemy. They came up with them at no great distance from the town, and an obstinate engagement took place, in which the French were defeated with considerable loss, and were pursued by the Austrians
some miles. The capture of Trieste would have been of immense importance to the French.
Bonaparte has often said to us "the treaty of Amiens, and nothing but the treaty of Amiens—G. Britain shall have nothing to do with the continent"—Let us then reply to him, "France shall have nothing to do with the islands—if he is able to prevent us from interfering with the continent, we will prevent him from interfering with the islands—he shall have nothing to do with either of the Indies—G. Britain shall be lord of the isles."
Being decisively of opinion, that France ought never to possess again a foot of land in the West Indies, we trust that minister will take the earliest opportunity, after the capture of Martinique and Guadalupe, to declare that she shall not: and to make known their determination never to give back those islands.
LONDON, March 28.
The resignation of the duke of York was carried to the house of commons last night by the chancellor of the exchequer, who submitted it to Mr. Bathurst, whether he would think it necessary, after such an event, to proceed with his motion. Mr. Bathurst, however, did deem it necessary, and he moved a resolution stating in substance,
"That while the house acknowledges the beneficial effects resulting from the services of his royal highness the duke of York during the time of his being commander in chief, they had observed with the deepest regret that in consequence of a connexion most immoral and unbecoming, a pernicious and corrupt influence had been used in respect to military promotions, and such as gave color to the various reports respecting the knowledge of the commander in chief of these transactions."
Lord Althorpe moved as an amendment upon the above resolution—
"That the duke of York having resigned the house did not now think it necessary to proceed further on the minutes of evidence taken before the committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of the duke of York as far as relates to his royal highness."
Mr. Bathurst's resolution was negatived without a division. The chancellor of the exchequer moved as an amendment to lord Althorpe's motion, that the word now be omitted. Upon this amendment the house divided.
For leaving out the word now, 235 Against it 112
Majority 123
Lord Folkestone gave notice of a motion relative to the duke of York, on the 17th of next month.
The duke of York has taken a very proper and judicious step in resigning; and we trust there is no intention of re-instating him in his situation. This we think his majesty's ministers should state distinctly to the house—they should accompany the notification that he has resigned with a declaration that there is no intention of restoring him.
It struck us, as soon as we heard of the resignation, that the house was still bound to record something against his royal highness, after having recorded such a body of evidence: for it would seem strange that the only votes on the subject should be for acquittal in the face of such evidence. It seemed necessary that the character of the house, its consistency, should be maintained. Lord Althorpe's motion does in some measure, accord with our wishes; and though an amendment has been made to it, it will still appear upon the journals that the house did not think it necessary to proceed further because his royal highness had resigned.

Latest News from Lisbon: Captain Baetier, who arrived at this port yesterday from Lisbon, which place he left the 27th of March, informed us, that the French army had not got possession of that place, but were in the neighborhood. The merchants were making preparations to get off as fast as possible—that the British and Portuguese troops, had taken all the guns from the batteries in Lisbon, on board the British fleet, which consisted of three sail of the line and 5 frigates. We further learn, that the French army had taken Oporto.
“LISBON, March 18.” “Since the opening of our ports this market has been well supplied with provisions, which have constituted the only branch of trade worthy attention, all other being in perfect calm; both grain and codfish have been realised on moderate terms, nor is there the least apprehension of a scarcity unless the French should repossess the country; hitherto they have not manifested serious determination to that effect, tho’ they keep some force on our frontiers, but until now, no more than what our national troops are able to cope with; however, this inaction may be so ordained as to lull the kingdom into a false security, if not called away to the north by movements in Austria.”

FRIEND SAMUEL, SOME of thy friends have quarrelled with thee, I am told, about my little communication; I don’t say I am “sorry,” because there are those who construe that term to be “mean and worthless”: But I regret it hath brought thee into anger with any one: I regret it Samuel, because those who find fault with thee I supposed had good sense enough to discern that it was ironical. Howbeit, when it pleaseth thee, thou may say who is the
OLD TUP.
A passenger in the ship United States informs, that the English had commenced the bombardment of the Saints a few days before he sailed. The three French men of war that escaped from the Saints had succeeded in getting into Guadalupe and landed a supply of provisions and men and had sailed again from that place. The morning the ship sailed a gentleman came on board and informed that a vessel had just arrived from St. Thomas, which brought accounts of the capture of St. Domingo by the British. It was expected that Guadalupe would not stand out long, the British had commenced the bombardment.
The ship Two Marys, Riley, of this port, and the brig Edward of Philadelphia, with their cargoes, were condemned by the Council of Prizes at Paris on the 21st Dec. 1808. An appeal was made for the Two Marys to the council of state, who confirmed the decision, and both vessels and cargoes were definitively condemned about the first of March last. (New York pap.)
The Charleston (S. C.) Courier of the 20th of April, says, “The weather has been uncommonly dry for some weeks past, and the woods in the country being on fire for a considerable extent, the atmosphere has become so loaded with dust and smoke, that respiration is sensibly affected by it. Colds are so prevalent, that few persons are exempt. The cisterns generally are exhausted, and the wells have but a scanty supply of water.”

Extract of a letter from capt. Keating to his friend in Portland, Maine, dated, Bordeaux, 17th March, 1809.
“My ship was seized by the French government on the 10th of Jan. last, and will no doubt, be condemned. They have endeavored to conjure up a pretence for imprisoning me in common with my unfortunate countrymen, but fortunately thus far I have eluded their plans. I am very solicitous of going to Charante, in order to obtain a copy of my condemnation, but dare not for fear of imprisonment, and hazarding a fine of $2000 dollars. We are considered as prisoners of war, but not used so well. Capt. Osgood, of the ship Neptune, and another captain broke out of prison after 3 months imprisonment. There are eleven ships in Charante, in the same situation in which mine is; and six ships companies imprisoned at Rochfort—some of whom have been marched 700 miles, probably for safe keeping. There are besides, a great number of American vessels in different ports in France, condemned for having been spoken by the English.”

The Subscribers, Take leave to inform their friends and the public in general, that the EAGLE TAVERN, IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND, WILL hereafter be conducted under the immediate management of GEORGE TURNER, they having formed an engagement for this purpose. They entertain the most sanguine hopes that their unremitting exertions will entitle them to patronage and favor. Every comfort which necessity may require, or which taste may suggest, will be procured with avidity and pleasure. They are determined, if possible, to render the EAGLE in every department of their business agreeable to their guests, and a pleasant abode to the stranger. Their solicitude upon this score has induced them at considerable expense to make some important changes in the arrangement of the rooms. They feel a great share of confidence in assuring their friends that they will meet with every convenience and attention that a house of this character is calculated to afford. Their bedrooms are furnished with an entire new set of beds and furniture, with a suit of curtains to each, and the floors covered with carpets. Their stables are large and commodious, (which will always be furnished with a full supply of the best provender the country affords) stands within twenty steps of the house, with a pump of excellent water at the door, for the purpose of watering and washing the horses.
They take leave further to state, that a COFFEE-ROOM has lately been established in one of the rooms of the Eagle, in which the newspapers from all the principal towns on the continent are to be seen. With these advantages, & these determinations in which they are resolved never to relax, they can but hope for the most flattering success.

LEE'S ELIXIR!!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefitted in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir , we give the names of the following persons, who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir .
Messrs. R. Lee and Son ,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance , 178, Market street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood , Market street, Baltimore.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son ,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messrs Warner and Hanna , which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street , Baltimore.
John Keller .
Messrs. R. Lee & Son ,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH .
J. A. Smith , Market street, Fell's Point.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations.—Should no worms exist in the body, it 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.
