Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence. (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

LATE FROM EUROPE.
(VIA NEW-YORK.)
From Bell's Weekly Messenger.
THE SITUATION OF SPAIN.
There has been perhaps no scene in that melancholy drama which has so long agitated the curiosity of Europe, fraught with more incidents of real calamity and substantial regret, than that which has lately been rehearsed in the kingdom of Spain.
When a nation is subdued by conquest, or passed submissively under a foreign yoke, the spectators may feel, as the circumstances of the case give a quality to the act, a mixture either of sorrow or contempt; but when we behold a crown wrested from an ancient line of princes by a course of stratagem and fraud the most foul and unnatural—and a nation swindled out of her independence, by contrivances which have not even the ordinary splendor of the crimes of a conqueror, and which but for their unbounding cruelty, we should assign to the lowest class of mankind, there is a complication of feeling in every generous bosom which we know not how to express by name.
The crimes of the French emperor and his councillors, whatever are real or imputed, fade away before the enormity of his present guilt towards Spain.
If not worthy of the name of an ally, Spain had been to France a faithful vassal—She neither grudged nor disputed her servitude—Neither in the prosperous nor adverse fortune of France was there any vacillation in her conduct: she had chained herself to the oar, and flowed down with the stream. One would have thought that the steadiness of this adherence would have procured for her safety if not respect. But no!—As she has been more submissive, so has her fate been more cruel, her fall more degrading, than that of any other of the powers conquered by France. Austria was suffered to collect and reconstitute the scattered atoms of her broken force. There was no deposing an hereditary prince; no treason hatched in his palace; no insurrection fostered among his subjects. He was left, indeed, in a mournful and shattered dignity, but he was left respectable and safe. Prussia, who was most hated by France as she well deserved, was disjointed but not destroyed. Her king (her greatest misfortune perhaps) was still continued to her; and the queen, her heroine, was left in security. Russia was dismissed back to barbarism, ridiculous and contemptible, but entire—she had bartered her honor, but was suffered to keep her territory. But towards Spain no mercy has been shown. The means employed to destroy her were most signal ungrateful and cruel.—Treason and parricide were the auxiliary crimes put in motion against her sovereign: rebellion and insurrection were encouraged amongst her people, and the road to her final subjugation has been cut out through the carnage and massacre of the most loyal of his subjects.
Having withdrawn her best troops, and immured them in some distant fortresses of Germany, having encouraged a cowardly sycophant against the heir apparent and made him equally master of the person of the queen, and the power of the king, Napoleon, persuaded of his affection to his own interest, which must necessarily cease with the existence of Spain as an independent nation, changes his instruments, and pulls down his once favored Upstart by means of his former rival.
Having destroyed the Prince of Peace, he excites the heir apparent to rebel against his father; and when this rebellion becomes successful and popular, he changes sides, and supports the cause of the rightful monarch.
Thus alternately favoring and disgracing every party, and cutting up by the roots all public confidence in any, he throws the kingdom into such an unnatural ferment, that his army seizes the pretext for marching into the capital; and when he fears resistance from the old Castilian loyalty and valor, he plans an insurrection to put it down by a massacre.
Never, we believe, in the annals of history has a more atrocious hypocrisy been exposed, nor fouler play practised for any object than this—his purport and final aim are obvious to the most short-sighted. Having destroyed all respect and reverence for every public character in Spain that could aim at government, he paves the way for the entrance of a foreign sceptre.
Spain will soon become politically extinct, and no longer exist but as an appendage of France. If not governed by the same monarch, she will pass into the same family, and a Bonaparte will reign on both sides of the Pyrenees.
The fall of Spain, however to be regretted, affords us yet one lesson of reasonable comfort—It is, that the enemies of France, as they are most respectable so they are more secure than her friends. War then—war with such a power! Eternal, unextinguishable war before we submit to the contempt and danger of her hollow friendship. The sword alone can cut out a country worth having: the pen, in the
present state of things, is the most fatal instrument we can employ. It would be a conveyance—a bill of sale, of every thing the most precious and valuable that is left us. This we are glad to see is now the popular sentiment, more confirmed than ever by the recent example and bleeding image of Spain.
War then with France, though commerce and colonies should both fail us in the struggle; enough, if upon the ruin of this accumulated wreck, we can climb to the level of our towering enemy, and save the CAPITOLI IMMODILE SAXUM of the British constitution.
LONDON, June 8.
Advices from Gottenburgh to the 31st ultimo were received yesterday. They were brought by the Clyde frigate, capt. Owen, which is returned to Yarmouth, after having landed at Gottenburgh 130,000 pounds, for the use of the king of Sweden. One expedition was still waiting the return of colonel Murray, and admiral Keats was about to remove the fleet to a greater distance from Gottenburgh, in order to be in readiness to proceed upon any service upon which he might be ordered, without further loss of time. The Snake sloop of war was to sail with a convoy for Leith on the following day, on board of which are the Danish prisoners taken from on board the man of war destroyed by the Stately and Nassau. Sir J. Saumarez had been indisposed, but was considerably recovered. The accounts from Finland all agree in stating, that the Russians are in the utmost state of distress, and that in their retreat hundreds of them perish daily through famine and the effects of the general thaw.
An American messenger arrived yesterday, with dispatches for Mr. Pinkney, the contents of which have not yet publicly transpired. The reports upon the subject are very contradictory; but those of a pacific tendency are by far the most entitled to credit. The vessel which brought these dispatches is called the St. Michael. She sailed from America the latter end of April, with two messengers, one of whom she landed at L'Orient, charged with dispatches for gen. Armstrong, at Paris.
The projected expedition to South America, we have reason to believe, is already in a state of forwardness; and we are rejoiced to find that it is intended to be conducted upon such principles as promise to insure its most complete success—an event which, in the present state of European affairs, must prove of the highest importance to Great Britain.
Parliament re-assemble this day, pursuant to adjournment.
Preparations are making for fitting out an expedition at Dover.
June 9.
It is said that the viscount Materosa & D. Diego de la Vega, who are arrived from Spain, have been deputed to solicit the assistance of this country towards enabling the Spaniards to expel the French. We learn that in the provinces of Asturias and Galicia, a provisional government has been established, which has deputed commissioners to go into the different provinces in Spain to spirit up the people to resistance. It was by this government, we suppose, that the above-mentioned noblemen were sent to this country—Four more are said to be on board the Stag. The marquis de Santa Cruz is at the head of the government, with the title of commander in chief. On the 25th last month he issued a proclamation at Oviedo, inviting the inhabitants of Asturias to rise up in defence of their constitution and their country.—“It is your country that calls upon you to rescue her from the hands of her oppressors. Will any Spaniard be deaf to her call?—Arise.—We have arms—shall we want hands to wield them? We have a good cause, shall we want hearts to defend it?” This patriotic call has been as patriotically answered. Forty thousand men have already enrolled themselves, and the province of Asturias is by no means one of the largest in Spain. Galicia can furnish a much larger force—so can Biscay. The Biscayans too are a hardy race, accustomed to military discipline and deeply attached to the constitution of their particular province. Leon, Arragon and Catalonia are expected to follow the example of Asturias; and the Castiles, never backward in cause of their country, will scarcely be the last to prove their patriotism. But they are more immediately in the power of France than any of the other provinces; it is there that the great body of the French are concentrated. Bonaparte in the mean time, aware of the indignation his most infamous treachery has excited, is pouring more troops into Spain from Italy, from the Netherlands, and from France.
The ports of Gijon, Bilboa, and St. Andero have, it is reported, been opened to the English.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived last night,
but the intelligence brought by it is not of importance. Of the surrender of the Russians in Gothland, our readers were informed before. The mail has brought the official report, and the articles of capitulation. The Russians are not to serve against Sweden for twelve months. The Swedish force in Norway remains in statu quo. In Finland some further advantages have been obtained over the Russians, but they are not of much importance.
Of the Prussian army, which not two years ago was esteemed to be amongst the most flourishing and best disciplined in Europe, not more than five thousand men remain embodied!
The British troops remained in Gottenburgh harbor on the 30th ult.
By a vessel which effected her escape from Chatenta, on the 25th ult. by cutting her cables, we find that an order had been issued at all the ports of France for laying a strict embargo on all vessels without respect to any flag whatever. No other intelligence of importance has been received by this conveyance.
The captain of a vessel which arrived yesterday from the Dutch coast, states, that it was generally rumored at the time of his departure, which was on the first inst. that the Prussians had revolted against the French troops, and that the revolt had been particularly formidable at Berlin and Magdeburgh. From the same source we learn, that vast numbers of French troops had marched off towards the Rhine.
The American vessel, the St. Michael, sailed from Baltimore the 5th ult. with dispatches for gen. Armstrong under the care of Mr. Baker; a Mr. Parviance also, the bearer of dispatches for Mr. Pinkney, enclosing others for the British government. The vessel was instructed to make the port of L'Orient, on her approach to which on the 31st ult. and before she entered the harbor, she was overhauled by a British man of war (the Donegal or the Dragon). The captain learning that a messenger was on board with dispatches for the British government, proposed to give him a safe conveyance to England; but his offer was declined, the messengers instructions being first to proceed to France. Mr. Parviance, as some surmise, may be detained at L'Orient, in the same manner as was Mr. Nourse, until general Armstrong is prepared to send Mr. Baker with him to England; and, perhaps before that can be done, it may be necessary to consult Bonaparte at Bayonne. Should that be the case, we cannot expect to hear of the arrival of the St. Michael in England for some weeks to come; yesterday, however, Mr. Canning announced her arrival at L'Orient to Mr. Pinkney.

MANCHESTER, June 1.
The proposals agreed to by the cotton merchants and manufacturers, at their meeting last night, at the Bull's Head Inn, in this town, were an advance of 10 per cent. to take place on the 1st of August, making together an advance of 20 per cent. I am sorry to say, that the numerous body of cotton weavers in this town and neighborhood remain dissatisfied with this offer, who persist in demanding an advance of 6s. 8d. in the pound sterling, which is 33 one third per cent. nothing less it appears will content them, and not one of them in this town or neighborhood will go to the loom at present. Upon a moderate calculation, there are no less than 60,000 looms in the cotton trade alone now standing still in this town, and a circle of 12 miles round it. Should any one attempt to work at the shuttle, parties rush into the house, cellar or garret, and take it away. I have just heard that a large body of them, to the amount of 5000, have met at a village between this town and Bury.—Three troops of cavalry are gone from this place to disperse them. Great numbers of weavers walk the streets of this town during the day, but in a peaceable manner, and at 10 o'clock at night, all is quiet here and at Salford.
Every man must commend the weavers of Manchester for their peaceableness on the present occasion. They seem to be aware, that riotous proceeding can do them no good. I wish I could say the same of the weavers of Rochdale, Bolton Bury, and some other places in the neighborhood. At the two former places they are very disorderly; at Bury, I understand, they are rather better to-day; but yesterday, I am told, they burned some persons in effigy.
A requisition for soldiers was sent from Rochdale, late last night, and troops were immediately dispatched thither. In consequence of their being in a serious state of commotion at that place still, it is also asserted that the artillery went this morning. God grant that we may soon have a change
for the better, for things in this quarter have a most awful aspect.
Sir Robert Peel has published a very sensible address to the cotton weavers.
NEW-YORK, August 4.
Two days later from London.
A respectable commercial friend, to whom we have often been indebted for similar favors, has furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, with the London Morning Chronicle of the 10th and 11th of June, received by the ship Union, and containing the following articles:
LONDON, June 10.
We have seen a letter, dated St. Andero on the 30th ult. and addressed to a respectable merchant in the city, which conveys a very flattering picture of the disposition and resources of those Spaniards who are averse to the arbitrary proceedings of Bonaparte. According to this letter, the people are in a state of actual insurrection in Asturias and Galicia, and also in the districts of St. Andero and Leon. Asturias alone, the writer describes, from the number and spirit of its population, as competent to a very material effort. Certainly, if the people are resolute the nature of the country must render it peculiarly difficult and dangerous to any invader. An assembly of deputies from the districts we have mentioned has already taken place at Oviedo, the capital of Asturias, by authority of which assembly a formal declaration of war has been published against the French government. To this assembly all the districts of Spain are invited to send deputies; and it is proposed to convene the Cortes, in order to concert measures for the purpose of delivering the country from its present degradation.
The marquis de Santa Cruz, who is a nobleman of considerable importance, particularly in Asturias, and who is in the vigor of youth, is appointed generalissimo of the patriotic army. This army is already considerable, and promises rapidly to increase. The writer to whom we allude paints in the most glowing terms the ardor of the population, without distraction of age or sex, to promote the object of the insurrection.—Ample time will, it is supposed, be afforded to this confederacy to provide arms and ammunition, and to organize their plans, before Bonaparte can withdraw an adequate force from any other district to interrupt them. Our wishes for the success of those gallant men excite us to hope, notwithstanding the knowledge we have of the character of our ministers, that they will afford them some material aid.
It is expected that the meeting at Oviedo will be attended by deputies from all parts of Spain.
We heard yesterday that accounts were in town, stating the refusal of the commander of the Spanish fleet at Port Mahon to comply with the commands of the government at Madrid. We know that this commander, Don Cayetano Valdes, is an officer of the highest loyalty, and is distinguished for strong national feelings. It is therefore quite probable that he would revolt against any order hostile to the independence of his country. Indeed, it was some time since suggested to us, that this officer suspected the designs of the French government, and that he took his fleet into Port Mahon rather than to Toulon, to which he could have gone, according to command merely to save it from falling into the hands of France. Certainly all the discerning men of Spain must have foreseen the crisis that has occurred. The only doubt could be as to the time of its arrival; a few, perhaps, expected it so soon. Unquestionably Bonaparte has been in this instance more prompt than usual. Perhaps he may find that he had been too precipitate.
Viscount Materosa is a nobleman of considerable local influence. He is not, however, a grandee of Spain. Don Diego de la Vega, who accompanies him, holds the commission of a lieutenant in the navy, and acts as secretary to the Viscount. They are both said to be very intelligent men.
We have held out one steady opinion as to the conduct which ministers ought to pursue. The Spaniards are a noble minded race; and will suffer no chicane, no compromise—no encroachment. They will neither permit their fleets to be taken in deposit; nor the integrity of their dominion to be broken. They will accept of no succor that is inconsistent with their honor. And we therefore trust that no attempts will be made to bargain with them for the aid they wish to receive. If we should attempt to go into Cadiz harbor, though in friendship it would be impolitic, because it would furnish a pretext to Bonaparte to misrepresent our designs. To convoy home in safety their veteran troops from Ceuta, and their fleets from Port Mahon, and to deliver free into their own ports, would perhaps be the wisest

most effectual step towards regaining their confidence, which we could accomplish, and nothing would be more easy than this reasonable act of friendship. Since writing the above, we have heard that our ministers have determined to aid the cause of the patriots of Spain, or to-morrow, the purpose of proceeding to Spain. He is to take such troops as are in readiness with him, and the force collected at Cork is to follow him. We understand that vigorous efforts will be used to send as great a force as possible upon this important expedition.

Alexandria Daily Gazette.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 9. The greatest part of the contribution imposed by the French on the inhabitants of Danzick, has been levied by military execution. A London paper of June 7, says—“Mr. HAMARD, formerly pilot of the English man of war Saturn, has been arrested in France, as a spy, and shot by order of the French government—or, according to other accounts beheaded. He had been sent from the Saturn on board L'Aigle, captain Wolfe, to reconnoitre the French coast, and landed at a port near L'Orient; he had been on shore 12 days, and was preparing to come off in the boat, when he was arrested.”
Every one must recollect, the outcry which our democratic papers raised, when Copenhagen was seized—Now they can scarcely be heard. Napoleon's injustice to his friend and ally, does not excite a sentiment among the whole corps, unless from the editor of the American Citizen. The official paper says, we ought to be thankful that we are so far removed from those scenes of violence. The Monitor says the affairs of Spain do not concern us; and the Enquirer says it will be better for the people of Spain to have Napoleon for their master. The last observation reminds us of the Liverpool Captain's defence of the Slave Trade—he insisted that the trade was humane, for if the negroes were not taken away they would murder each other! If Bonaparte succeeds in destroying the British navy, (of which there is not much prospect at present) we shall find that we are not far removed, and that we have more concern in the seizure of Spain and her colonies, than we had with the seizure of Copenhagen. (Norfolk Ledger.)
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Castle (Del.) to the editor of the United States' Gazette. DEAR SIR,
The grateful return made by the crew of the French brig Superior, which lately visited your port, and which is still in the river, ought not to be passed over in silence, and perhaps a paragraph in your paper would be very properly employed in returning them thanks which I hereby do in the name of all our democrats. The name of the officers and sailors belonging to said brig visited Wilmington a few days since in pursuit of a seaman who was one of her crew. They found him at work with a blacksmith to whom it seems he had hired himself. They entered the shop with drawn swords, seized and hurried the man off without giving him time to put on his coat.
I cannot say whether he was a deserter or not—report, however, declares that the term for which he had engaged had expired, and that his papers would have evidenced this, if an opportunity of inquiry had been given. The whole affair was transacted as expeditiously as possible, and to be sure it made very little stir amongst us. It is the more astonishing how quietly the poor fellow was smuggled off, when we con-
sider that a duck or pig could not have taken their passage in one of our own vessels without having it proclaimed through the whole country.
Yes, sir, the thing was gently done, we held no town meetings, passed no thundering resolutions, ordered out no militia, but giggled to think (as there was no tory papers among us) how snugly it would pass over, and really so little sympathy & commiseration did the fate of the unfortunate tar excite, that it seems already to be forgotten.
Though the above circumstances, so far as I can learn form a true statement of the case, I cannot vouch for their accuracy, I have not however heard them denied.
And now, sir, it remains for our political casuists to decide whether it is a greater slur on the American character to have our sovereignty overhauled on board a national ship or boarded on terra firma in our very streets by those whom our hospitality has kept from starving.
Yours Respectfully. New Castle, August 1, 1808.
CATHOLIC QUESTION.
Extract of a letter from London, dated 8th June, 1808.
“On the Catholic question, which commenced on the 25th ult. the speech of Mr. Grattan, who presented the petition, far surpassed my expectations, and exceeded any display of oratory which it has been my good fortune to witness on any occasion. It was irresistible in force of argument, and unrivalled in splendor of diction. He pronounced it with all the characteristic fire of his youth; without a pause which was not intentional, or a repetition which did not furnish a new beauty. It was a truly finished oration in matter and manner—and as you know my enthusiasm on the subject of eloquence, you may judge of the impression which it has made on my mind. The newspaper report contains merely the substance of the argument, and can afford no adequate idea of the excellence of the declamatory parts. The petition was not received, but the number of votes in its favor was greater than at the last application; and it is now understood, that the prejudices of the King constitute the only insuperable impediment to the full accomplishment of the object.”
COMMUNICATION.
Dark and inscrutable are the designs of Providence—her ways are intricate and past finding out. How, in an instant, are the hopes of the mighty fallen! How are the schemes of the righteous laid low! Often are the most profound and benevolent plans prostrated by a sinister and unexpected reverse of fortune.
At a moment when England appeared about to succumb to the mighty torrent which ambition and corruption had swelled against her;—when left alone, she stood firm, with the active as well as “restrictive energies” of the world, (directed by the genius of desolation) against her; at this time of gloom and despondency, a bright ray of hope and independence suddenly bursts forth from the general darkness to enlighten her path and that of the benighted nations of the universe.
By the recent patriotic events in Spain, the trade of that country and her extensive colonies are opened to the British, and would be to us, but for the embargo. England may now laugh to scorn our malignant non-importation and non-exportation laws. Their impotence as a war-measure, was before generally ridiculed, but since South America offers a market for her manufactures, new life, vigor, and activity will be diffused among all classes of her subjects.
The fond dreams of her open and secret enemies in their insidious ALLIANCE against her national existence, by conspiring to destroy her commerce, are now completely frustrated.
Since what has just taken place, has so totally altered the political and commercial state of the world, that the embargo-experiment cannot have a “three years” trial as a means of coercion to bring Great Britain on her knees, would it not be advisable, is it not the duty of Mr. Jefferson to call congress together to relieve us from distress and oppression by repealing it? We think he may venture to do this now—seeing the power of Bonaparte is so far checked that he may with safety set his mandates and threats at defiance. The deliverance of Spain and Portugal, and their immense colonies from French domination, has opened great markets for our SURPLUS PRODUCE which we in our wisdom, in order to increase our strength, preserve to rot on our hands. Our ships and sailors would likewise find full and ample employment.
Should Mr. Jefferson graciously incline to listen so far to our prayers and petitions as to be induced, under present hopeless circumstances, to give up his “favorite and
strong measure,” we trust that the “immortal author of our declaration of INDEPENDENCE” will find ample consolation (as we do) in the great and NATION-REVIVING spirit which has displayed itself in Spain. This change so momentous as it is unexpected, has rendered it a completely harmless thing as a weapon of hostility against Great Britain, however potent and terrible it might have been before this bright aurora of the EMANCIPATION of nations bursts upon our astonished and admiring view. Cruel Napoleon! how does thy inordinate ambition continually blind thee, not only to thy true policy, but to the best laid plans of thy philosophic friends to serve thee. Had you still kept Charles IV. in the capacity of a prefect, (as he has been for many years) you might, from the loyalty of the Spaniards, have preserved the Spanish territories from the avaricious grasp of the nation of SHOP-KEEPERS. But by your perfidy to the old family and the mad ambition of placing brother Joseph too soon on the only remaining throne of the unfortunate Bourbons, you have roused the VENGEANCE of the whole nation. You have now removed the restrictions which existed to the immense markets of New if not Old Spain to the inundating torrents of British manufactures. If you succeed in subduing Spain (which those who know the national spirit doubt) the colonies present a rich harvest for the permanent commerce of England—that “Shield of oppressed Humanity.” Thus, in one thoughtless moment, have you let your ambition get the better of sound policy, and rendered abortive our fond hopes of destroying England by our united efforts to undermine her commerce, which detested pillar removed, we vainly flattered ourselves that the whole fabric would crumble to atoms.

Rheumatism. —Dr. Fothergill has, during the last month, cured numerous poor persons applying to the Westminster and the Western Dispensaries for relief, under rheumatic complaints, by giving eight or ten drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and eight drops of laudanum in any convenient menstruum, three times a day. This medicine has succeeded in severe chronic cases, when the different combinations of bark, guiacum, opium, mercury and antimony, have proved ineffectual.
APPLICATION FOR A WEN
A plaster composed of Blue Vitriol and Pure Lime , compounded as follows: To a piece of the vitriol of the size of a pea and well pulverised, add a table spoonful of honey, boil it in an earthen cup till it assumes the consistence of salve, observing to stir frequently to prevent its burning—apply this salve to the wen, spread on leather or any other convenient thing. It should be so strong of the vitriol as to irritate the skin sensibly, but not to open it into holes.—While under the operation of the medicine, drink three or four wine glasses of water every day, prepared as follows:
Put one ounce of quicksilver in an earthen quart bottle, pour boiling water on it, and when cool 'tis fit for use. The quicksilver will answer an undeterminate length of time. The above was the treatment of a Wen on the neck of the wife of William Pool , of Brandywine, in the state of Delaware.—It is not expected that a few applications will effect a cure, but it must be persevered in for a length of time. It made a radical cure in the above case by a perseverance in the use of the above salve for about eighteen months.
COMMERCE.
The following lines are taken from “ Charity ,” a poem, by COWPER —a comprehensive sketch—comprising more than ten miles square.
THE hand of commerce was design'd To associate all the branches of mankind;— And, if a boundless plenty be the robe, Trad —is the golden girdle of the globe; Wise to promote whatever end he means, God opens fruitful nature's various scenes: Each climate needs what other climes produce, And offers something to the general use; No land but listens to the common call, And, in return, receives supply from all. This genial intercourse, and mutual aid, Cheers what were else an universal shade; Calls nature from her ivy mantled den, And softens human rock-work into men.
Heaven speed the canvas, gallantly unfurl'd, To furnish and accommodate a world; To give the pole the produce of the sun, And knit th' unsocial climates into one. 'Tis thus, reciprocating each with each, Alternately the nations learn and teach; While Providence enjoins, to every soil, An union with the vast terraqueous whole.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME,  AN ADDRESS TO THE  PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING  AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU-  FACTURES: Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Ar- lington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare. Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to. Alex. 18th June, 1808.
