20 DOLLARS REWARD.
RUN AWAY on Tuesday last, my negro man ROB, about 35 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, very thick and well made, and has uncommon thick lips. It is presumed, as he took his clothes with him, that he intends making his escape by water, as such, I forewarn all captains or owners of vessels from harboring or carrying him off at their peril. The above reward will be given to any person who catches him out of the county and brings him to me, or confines him in some jail until I get him; but if caught in the county or neighborhood, I shall not expect to pay more than ten dollars, with other expenses.

(By Authority.)
AN ACT
For establishing rules and articles for the government of the armies of the United States.
(Concluded.)
Article 78. Non-commissioned officers and soldiers, charged with crimes, shall be confined until tried by a court martial, or released by proper authority.
Article 79. No officer or soldier who shall be put in arrest, shall continue in confinement more than eight days, or until such time as a court martial can be assembled.
Article 80. No officer commanding a guard, or provost martial, shall refuse to receive or keep any prisoner committed to his charge by an officer belonging to the forces of the United States; provided the officer committing, shall, at the same time, deliver an account in writing, signed by himself, of the crime with which the said prisoner is charged.
Article 81. No officer commanding a guard, or provost martial, shall presume to release any person committed to his charge, without proper authority for so doing, nor shall he suffer any person to escape on the penalty of being punished for it by the sentence of a court martial.
Article 82. Every officer or provost marshal, to whose charge prisoners shall be committed, shall within twenty-four hours after such commitment, or as soon as he shall be relieved from his guard, make report in writing, to the commanding officer, of their names, their crimes, and the names of the officers, who committed them, on the penalty of being punished for disobedience or neglect, at the discretion of a court martial.
Article 83. Any commissioned officer convicted before a general court martial, of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, shall be dismissed the service.
Article 84. In cases where a court martial may think it proper to sentence a commissioned officer to be suspended from command, they shall have power also to suspend his pay and emoluments for the same time, according to the nature and heinousness of the offence.
Article 85. In all cases where a commissioned officer is cashiered for cowardice or fraud, it shall be added in the sentence, that the crime, name, and place of abode and punishment of the delinquent, be published in the newspapers in and about the camp, and of the particular state from which the offender came, or where he usually resides, after which it shall be deemed scandalous for an officer to associate with him.
Article 86. The commanding officer of any fort or detachment, in which there shall not be a number of officers adequate to form a general court martial, shall, in cases which require the cognizance of such a court, report to the commanding officer of the department who shall order a court to be assembled at the nearest post or detachment, and the party accused, with necessary witnesses, to be transported to the place where the said court shall be assembled.
Article 87. No person shall be sentenced to suffer death, but by the concurrence of two-thirds of a general court martial, nor except in the cases herein expressly mentioned; nor shall more than fifty lashes be inflicted on any offender, at the discretion of a court martial, and no officer, non-commissioned officer, soldier, or follower of the army, shall be tried a second time for the same offence.
Article 88. No person shall be liable to be tried and punished by a general court martial for any offence which shall appear to have been committed more than two years before the issuing of the order for such trial, unless the person by reason of having absented himself or some other manifest impediment shall not have been amenable to justice within that period.
Article 89. Every officer authorised to order a general court martial shall have power to pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such court, except the sentence of death, or of cashiering an officer; which in the cases where he has authority (by article 65) to carry them into execution he may suspend until the pleasure of the President of the United States can be known; which suspension, together with copies of the proceedings of the court martial, the said officer shall immediately transmit to the President for his determination. And the Colonel or commanding officer of the regiment or garrison where any regimental or garrison court martial shall be held, may pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such court to be inflicted.
Article 90. Every judge advocate, or person officiating as such, at any general court martial, shall transmit, with as much expedition as the opportunity of time and distance can admit, the original proceedings and sentence of such court martial, to the Secretary of War, which said original proceedings and sentence shall be carefully kept and preserved in the office of the said Secretary, to the end that the persons entitled thereto may be enabled, upon application to the said office, to obtain copies thereof.
The party tried by any general court martial, shall upon demand thereof made by himself or by any person or persons in his behalf, be entitled to a copy of the sentence and proceedings of such court martial.
Article 91. In cases where the General or commanding officer may order a court of enquiry to examine into the nature of any transaction, accusation, or imputation against any officer or soldier, the said court shall consist of one or more officers, not exceeding three, and a judge advocate, or other suitable person as a recorder, to reduce the proceedings and evidence to writing, all of whom shall be sworn to the faithful performance of their duty. This court shall have the same power to summon witnesses as a court martial, and to examine them on oath. But they shall not give their opinion on the merits of the case, excepting they shall be thereto specially required. The parties accused shall also be permitted to cross-examine & interrogate the witnesses, so as to investigate fully the circumstances in question.
Article 92. The proceedings of a court of enquiry must be authenticated by the signature of the recorder and the president, and delivered to the commanding officer; and the said proceedings may be admitted as evidence by a court martial, in cases not capital, or extending to the dismissal of an officer, provided that the circumstances are such, that oral testimony cannot be obtained. But as courts of enquiry may be perverted to dishonorable purposes, and may be considered as engines of destruction to military merit, in the hands of weak and envious commanders, they are hereby prohibited, unless directed by the President of the United States, or demanded by the accused.
Article 93. The judge advocate, or recorder, shall administer to the members the following oath:
"You shall well and truly examine and inquire, according to your evidence, into the matter now before you, without partiality, favour, affection, prejudice, or hope of reward. So help you God."
After which the president shall administer to the judge advocate or recorder the following oath:
"You A. B. do swear that you will, according to your best abilities, accurately and impartially record the proceedings of the court, and the evidence to be given in the case in hearing. So help you God."
The witnesses shall take the same oath as witnesses sworn before a court martial.
Article 94. When any commissioned officer shall die or be killed in the service of the United States, the Major of the regiment, or the officer doing the Major's duty in his absence, or in any post or gar-
rison, the second officer in command, or the assistant military agent, shall immediately secure all his effects or equipage then in camp or quarters, and shall make an inventory thereof, and forthwith transmit the same to the office of the department of war, to the end that his executors or administrators may receive the same.
Article 95. When any non-commissioned officer or soldier shall die or be killed in the service of the United States, the commanding officer of the troops or company, shall, in the presence of two other commissioned officers, take an account of what effects he died possessed of, above his arms and accoutrements, and transmit the same to the office of the department of war; which said effects are to be accounted for and paid to the representatives of such deceased non-commissioned officer or soldier. And in case any of the officers so authorised to take care of the effects of deceased officers and soldiers, should, before they have accounted for the same, have occasion to leave the regiment or post, by preference or otherwise, they shall, before they be permitted to quit the same, deposit, in the hands of the commanding officer, or of the assistant military agent, all the effects of such deceased non-commissioned officers and soldiers, in order that the same may be secured for and paid to their respective representatives.
Article 96. All officers, conductors, gunners, matrosses, drivers or other persons whatsoever, receiving pay or hire, in the service of the artillery or corps of engineers of the United States, shall be governed by the aforesaid rules and articles, and shall be subject to be tried by courts martial, in like manner with the officers & soldiers of the other troops in the service of the United States.
Article 97. The officers and soldiers of any troops, whether militia or others, being mustered and in pay of the United States, shall, at all times, and in all places, when joined, or acting in conjunction with the regular forces of the United States, be governed by these rules and articles of war, and shall be subject to be tried by courts martial, in like manner with the officers and soldiers in the regular forces, save only that such courts martial shall be composed entirely of militia officers.
Article 98. All officers, serving by commission from the authority of any particular State, shall on all detachments, courts martial, or other duty, when they may be employed in conjunction with the regular forces of the United States, take rank next after all officers of the like grade in said regular forces, notwithstanding the commissions of such militia or State officers may be older than the commissions of the officers of the regular forces of the United States.
Article 99. All crimes not capital, and all disorders and neglects which officers and soldiers may be guilty of, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, though not mentioned in the foregoing articles of war, are to be taken cognizance of by a general or regimental court martial, according to the nature and degree of the offence, and be punished at their discretion.
Article 100. The President of the United States shall have power to prescribe the uniform of the army.
Article 101. The foregoing articles are to be read and published once in every six months, to every garrison, regiment, troop or company, mustered or to be mustered in the service of the United States, and are to be duly observed and obeyed, by all officers and soldiers who are or shall be in said service.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That in time of war all persons not citizens of, or owing allegiance to the United States of America, who shall be found lurking as spies, in or about the fortifications or encampments of the armies of the United States or any of them, shall suffer death, according to the law and usage of nations, by sentence of a general court martial.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the rules and regulations, by which the armies of the United States have heretofore been governed, and the resolutions of Congress thereunto annexed, and respecting the same, shall henceforth be void and of no effect, except so far as may relate to any transactions under them, prior to the promulgation of this act, at the several posts and garrisons respectively, occupied by any part of the army of the United States.

Latest Foreign Advices,
By the Packet, Capt. Scott, arrived at Boston.
Rome, May 20.—It is confidently reported, that the Emperor Napoleon will crown his Brother Joseph, King of Naples, in the Church of St. Peter.
HANNOVER, June 17.—A report is circulated today, by no means astonishing considering the times we live in as it also agrees with preceding events, that the Elector of Baden is about to abdicate his Government; and that the Electoral Prince who is expected from Paris in the month of July, will succeed him, and will reside at Mannheim. A Counsellor of State, who came to Karlsruhe, at the latter end of May, has, it is said, already made some preparations on the subject. A short time after, Prince Louis, of Baden, son of the Elector, was dismissed from all his employments. Great changes were made in the Ministry, when the most distinguished persons were pensioned.
It is said again that the Pope will resign the chair of St. Peter to a Cardinal, and the States of the Holy See will be added to the kingdom of Italy. The French empire will then take a new title, and a considerable number of new Dukes will be created. It is also added, that great alterations will take place in Switzerland, in favor of the Duke of Neuchatel.
VIENNA, June 11.—The trial of Marquis Ghislieri for surrendering the Cattaro to Russians, contrary to his instructions, ended on the 1st inst. He has been sentenced to the loss of his rank and to exile. It is, however expected, that this sentence will be mitigated in a higher quarter.
June 14.—A declaration has been forwarded to Ratisbon by the head of the Empire, in consequence of the notification made by the Arch-Chancellor of his having elected Cardinal Fesch as his successor.
The exchange of couriers between this city and Paris is still very brisk. The French Ambassador, M. Rochefoucauld, has also had several conferences with Count Stadion, minister for foreign affairs.
POMERANIA, June 13.—The negotiations between the Prussian and Swedish courts are carried on without intermission. The General of Cavalry, Count Kalkreuth, is to proceed to Stralsund, with a view to forward them.
June 12.—A French Courier, who passed through this city, is the bearer of passes for the Counsellor of state D'Oultin.
HAMBURG, June 24.—The reform in the Empire, or the new constitution of Germany, will be presented to the Diet of Ratisbon, on the 27th inst. We may therefore expect a sight of the chief document here by the 3d or 4th of July.
June 30.—The fate of Germany is decided, and the new constitution, projected by Bonaparte, will appear in a few days. Cardinal Fesch is the bearer of it. This free Imperial City is fortunately to retain its liberties under the immediate auspices of the King of Prussia. The whole plan shows that Bonaparte aims at universal monarchy.
Baron Beden, the Hanoverian Envoy, has left Ratisbon for London. Mr. Hill's secretary has also left that city.
The King of Prussia has made encroachments upon the territory of the Imperial city of Nuremberg, by seizing the suburbs of Gaildorf, against which violation the senate of that city has most solemnly protested.
The negotiations between the courts of St. Petersburg and Berlin are said to have been broken off, because his Swedish Majesty will admit of no condition dishonorable to his engagements, or repugnant to his feelings.
We expect to learn, on the arrival of the Co-adjutor, Cardinal Fesch, what will be the new Constitution of Germany. It is said that some of the great states of the Empire, united to the petty territories of some neighboring Princes, will form a federative state.
LONDON, June 30.—The most important article in the Dutch papers is the speech of King Louis to their High Mightinesses the States General. It is too vague and general to merit particular observation. In this famous address the annals of that once celebrated Republic are studiously retracted and examined, and for what? Why forsooth, for the purpose of declaring to the Batavians that all their former struggles for liberty produced them neither freedom nor tranquility, and that the day upon which a Corsican usurper usurped the sovereignty of Holland, was "the first day of the real independence of the United Provinces." The mind turns with disgust from such instances of unfeeling insult and irony.
A neutral Captain, who left the Texel a few days ago, was present when the new colors arrived on board the ships of war on Sunday last night. The crews were ordered to man the yards, and give three cheers in honor of the new King. Of six ships of the line, three only would perform this duty, and the officers did not seem desirous to press it.
Genl. Sir Charles Green, is appointed governor of Surinam, and created a Baronet.
A messenger, Mr. Basilico, we understand sailed for France on Friday. He arrived at Deal at two o'clock in a chase and four, and having ordered a boat, instantly proceeded to the Clyde frigate, which was lying in the Downs. Shortly after he got on board, the Clyde got under weigh, and steered for the opposite coast with a brisk wind at N.E. As she afterwards came to the anchorage at Dungeness it is supposed that she put the messenger on board a sloop of war in the narrows, between Dover and Calais, from which he was landed at the latter place.
Omnium, in the course of this morning, rose to 7 3-4, but soon afterwards fell to 6 1-2, the price at which it opened.
The French General Boyer set off on Wednesday on his return to France. It is understood that he is to be exchanged for one of the gentlemen who have been detained since the beginning of the war.
More honors are in the contemplation of Napoleon for his relatives. His Mother, it is now said, is to be appointed Queen of Rome, and her son, Lucien Bonaparte, to be nominated as her successor.
Parliament is expected to be prorogued about the 27th of next month. A dissolution, for which the ministers are rumored to be actively preparing, is expected to take place in September.

July 1.—The unsettled state of the German Empire gives rise to rumors of projected changes in that part of the Continent. The Elector of Baden is it is said, to resign his authority into the hands of his son, who it may be recollected was lately married to the niece of Madame Bonaparte. The reports respecting these changes receive something like official confirmation in an article dated from Ratisbon. To this, however, little attention is to be paid, as we learn, by letters from Hamburg, that it has been inserted in the Correspondent by command of the French Minister at Hamburg.
It was yesterday said in the City, that Gen. Miranda had drawn bills to a considerable amount on the Treasury, which had been presented for acceptance.
Letters from Plymouth state that Admiral Stirling, who, with 6 sail of the line had been sent in quest of Jerome Bonaparte, has returned, under an opinion that he must be on his way back, as from certain advices from the isles of France and Bourbon, it was evident that he could not procure supplies there. Admiral Stirling was off Belleisle, on the 20th ult.
Mr. Fox had a good night on Sunday, and was yesterday much better.
LONDON, June 18.
An interesting debate took place in the House of Commons last night, upon the American Intercourse. It was opposed by all the mercantile interest, and the House divided upon the question. In the House of Lords the Mutiny Bill was read a third time, after the rejection of an amendment proposed by Lord Hawkesbury.
June 24.
Lord Henry Petty last night stated the plan for auditing the Public Accounts. He said, that 554 millions still remained unaudited.
A letter from Naples confirms the account of the capture of the island of Capri by the British.
The Kingdom of Naples is stated to be in the most disturbed situation. Insurrections take place daily, and the people are so dissatisfied to the new King, that a reinforcement of French troops has been deemed necessary.
The Gazette of Saturday night contained an Order in Council for liberating all Paperburgh vessels detained previous to the 14th of May.
Extract of a private letter from Hamburg, June 20.
"Yesterday evening it was reported here, that the fate of Germany was decided.—There is no longer an Emperor of Germany, but instead, three great Powers, Austria, Prussia and Bavaria. The remainder of Germany, Saxony, Hesse, the Hanseatic towns, &c. will form a confederate state under the protection of the Emperor of the Romans, which title Bonaparte will assume. He will be represented in Germany by the Arch Cardinal Fesch. I cannot vouch with absolute certainty for the truth of this arrangement, though I believe it cannot be doubted that it will take place."
Extract of a letter from an officer at St. Helena, dated May 3.
"We are just arrived here, from the Cape of Good Hope, with a large fleet of men of war and transports. Our destination is for the Rio de la Plata, where our first object of attack will be Monte Video, and then Buenos Ayres, which places we expect will make but little resistance."
June 25.
Mysterious and extraordinary affair. —The aspersion on the conduct of an illustrious personage still engages the public attention to a degree corresponding with the important and unparalleled nature of the case. The act charged, would if proved, amount to no less than high treason; if not proved, the infamous calumny will amount to the same high crime in those by whom the information was given, with the most positive assurances of substantiating it by proof. The parties have long been honored with the particular intimacy of the illustrious personage. The nature of the accusation amounting to what might eventually affect the succession to the crown, and the great stake the accusers put to hazard, all these circumstances demanded a serious attention to what has been preferred by the accusers; and it was on these grounds alone, that the information was attended to. Tho' the report may not be made for some days, we understand, from the most respectable quarter the opinions of the commissioners are decidedly against the charge, for which, on the strictest investigation, not the slightest foundation can be discovered.
The secret committee, constituted under the king's privy seal, to enquire into the conduct of a distinguished female character, have not yet closed their proceedings: the depositions of various witnesses have been taken upon oath before them, on which it would be highly reprehensible to offer a single comment.—The commissioners are expected to state their progress this day, to his majesty, at Buckingham house, and to make a full report to him in the course of a few days.
June 26.
Yesterday arrived a Gottenburgh Mail; the only intelligence it brings deserving notice is the following, given under the date of June 16:—"We have great reason to believe that the differences between this country and Prussia will be speedily accommodated thro' the medium of Russia."
Spain has made a last naval effort, by equipping 20 sail of the line. Of this number eight are at Carthagena, and nine at Cadiz. Bonaparte has insisted, that she should either declare against Russia, or shut her ports against the ships of that Nation; but now that he is anxious for a reconciliation with Russia, the intended
proceeding, it is thought, will not be carried into effect.
It is believed that some requisition has been made to Prussia on the part of France to evacuate Hanover.
Bonaparte is said to have it in contemplation to add Hanover to the kingdom of Holland, and to give it besides, the command of the mouths of the Ems, the Weser, and the Elbe.
Mr. Jackson, our late Minister at Berlin, has returned to the Continent. It has been supposed that the object of his return is to meet any disposition which the Cabinet of Berlin may manifest to discuss and terminate the differences between the two Governments.—After the pledge given by his Majesty's Ministers, there is but one way in which we can terminate our differences with Prussia; which is, by her evacuating and surrendering Hanover to its lawful Sovereign.
Italy, May 28. —A report is in circulation of the death of the spouse of Lucien Bonaparte.
The Prince of Hesse Philisthal still keeps up a correspondence with a number of the citizens of Göttingen, who gave him very considerable assistance in a recent sortie. The French vessels which were intended to act against the place by sea, have fallen into the hands of the English.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 8.
Great Britain & Turkey.
Mr. Arbuthnot, the English Ambassador, has had a fresh conference with the Reis Effendi; at which he emphatically declared, that if the Porte did not, within a few days, come to a determination to renew its Treaties with England, an English Squadron would certainly make its appearance in the Levant, as any farther refusal must be considered as a rupture between the two Powers. To this declaration no other answer has been given on the part of the Porte, than that it is resolved to maintain the Neutrality which it has hitherto observed.
LIVERPOOL, June 25.
Extract of a private letter from Vienna, dated June 4.
"Though I cannot absolutely vouch for the following letter, which is circulated privately here, yet I cannot refrain from sending you a copy of it as it is certainly not unsuitable to the character of the man to whom it is attributed."
"TO THE KING OF BAVARIA. "SIR AND BROTHER—I made you King, and from particular esteem and respect for your person, sent you my ministers at war and able counsellors to organize and direct the administration of your states; yet though you have enjoyed these advantages full four months; you have done nothing really useful, and consequently have reason to believe that you do not possess the qualities necessary to govern well. I must therefore advise you to abdicate in favor of your son, of whom I have conceived better hopes. As I wish and expect your acquiescence in this proposal, I shall take care to secure to you a suitable pension."
"NAPOLEON."
NAPLES, May 26.
On Wednesday the French attacked Civitella del Frontu, a post occupied by the troops of the former King under the command of an Irish Officer. The town was carried by assault. The French troops prepared to undermine the fort, for the purpose of blowing it up, but fortunately this effusion of blood has been saved. The Garrison, composed of 200 men surrendered at discretion. The fort is not considerable, but the position is very commanding.
June 3.
Since the taking of the little fortress of Civitella del Frontu, which the French troops carried last month by assault, nothing is left unreduced through the whole Kingdom of Naples, Gaeta excepted. This place, which the Prince of Hesse persists in defending, is to be attacked with more vigor than has hitherto been used. The army encamped under its walls has been considerably augmented. The works of the trenches before the place are now completed, and very formidable batteries are open upon the place, night and day.
PARIS, June 12.
His excellency the minister of the Marine and the Colonies, has sent the following report to his majesty:
"SIR, "Capt. L'Hermitte, commandant of one of the naval divisions which sailed last winter, has sent home the brig Surveillant , with dispatches, which I have the honor to lay before your majesty."
"On the 3d of April the division had taken 21 English vessels upon the coast of Africa, amounting to 5976 tons. They carried upon the whole 229 pieces of cannon, carronades, howitzers, &c. Their crews, &c. amounting to 518 men, have been made prisoners—1154 negroes have also been captured in these vessels; and among these prizes, four that were laden with dry goods have been sold for 669,000 franks."
"Three out of the 17 prizes that remain have been armed, and now make a part of our division, viz the Favourite of 18 guns, six-pounders, and 11 carronades of 12; the Oway , of 4 guns, 12-pounders and 2 carronades of eighteens; and the Plowers , of 22 guns, 6 pounders. Five of these prizes have been dispatched as flags of truce. The Trio , one of them, has arrived at Morlaix; two have been sold for the convenience of the division, and have pro-
duced 80,000 piasters; and 7 have been sunk, burnt or destroyed."
"Out of the 1154 negroes, 92 have been given away or sold, or have deserted, or are dead."
"The rest of the Negroes are distributed through the division, and remained alive on the 5th of April." At this period captain L'Hermitte retained only 34 out of the 518 prisoners he had made; the remainder of them having been sent away in flags of truce. Twenty three only have been left on board the prizes; one only is dead.
"This officer informs me, that he has inspected every point of the coast, which he has run down with the greatest attention, and that he has occasioned a very great loss to the English commerce: the Enemy's trade, he says, is ruined for the present year, and in the course of the succeeding year; he supposes their loss will be considerable."
"The vessels of the division were in very good condition. M. L'Hermitte speaks very highly of the conduct of his officers and their crews. Since his departure from L'Orient; he has lost no more than 15 men, and he had only 14 sick."
FROM THE AURORA.
FALSE APPEARANCES.
We cannot conceive what utility there can be in holding out to the American public ideas concerning the prospects of peace and war in Europe, which neither public nor private advices warrant.
The Philadelphia Gazette says—"The 'advices' of this arrival, as will be perceived by the detail, are highly indicative of peace between England and France."
After perusing the detail alluded to, and every other detail that has been received, we find only one fact which, in the least, indicates even a remote prospect of peace in Europe; that fact is, the arrival of Lord Yarmouth at Paris; take this away, and the whole situation of Europe presents not a single circumstance from which the speedy establishment of peace can be even presumed practicable upon any other terms than those which France may dictate—and that France will dictate a generous peace after so many failures of such sacrifices and self-denials may be possible, but after all that is past, it is scarcely credible. If France consents to a peace now, it will be on such terms, as that no power in Europe shall be able to go to war without the permission of France, or at the peril of incurring the fate of so many kings and states, as have heretofore tempted by their temerity, their own destruction or subjugation.
But what are the naked facts contained in the details of news from Europe.
No alteration has taken place in the situation of the troops in Germany.
The Austrian prisoners of war are detained at the depots where they had been on the advices concerning the surrender of Catara .
The negotiations carried on between Petersburg and Berlin, for the peace of Sweden—broken off.
France and Prussia acting upon Denmark to close the Baltic against British ships and goods.
Denmark equipping a very large fleet of ships of war.
Russia menacing Turkey with a war, and the emperor of Russia's brother, Constantine, marching towards Turkey with a select body of troops.
The passage of the Dardanelles refused to Russian ships of the line, by the peremptory order of the Porte.
The Turkish government fitting out a fleet of ships of war—to cruise in the Archipelago in co-operation with France.
The English ambassador Arbuthnot, playing off the old game formerly practised on Genoa, Tuscany, Switzerland and Denmark—menacing Turkey with immediate war if she does not break her alliance with France.
The Turkish armies undergoing a new organization under French officers, and the modern discipline.
Ragusa occupied by the French, and added to their new occupations in Dalmatia.
The pope to relinquish his temporal dominions and Bonaparte's mother to become queen of Rome.
Bonaparte to be declared emperor of the Romans and Franks—and to comprehend under his federative system, several of the Gothic principalities—and, perhaps, aspiring to the triple title of emperor of the Franks, Goths, and Romans.
The influence of the arms, and the power of Russia in the affairs of Europe, annihilated.
The power and influence of the house of Austria crushed and irretrievable to its former condition for ever.
The nominal title of the king of the Romans to be torn from the brow of its possessor for three centuries, and transferred to that of the conqueror.
Saxony, Hesse, and the Hanseatic towns not possessed by Prussia, or Austria, or the lesser members of the federative empire, to be all comprehended under the new imperial feudality, and their princes and dukes to rank as vassals in common with the new dukes of Dalmatia, Istria, Clevy, &c. the princes of Piccibino, Benevento, &c.
Switzerland to be recognized under the new feudality or federal empire, and to have a prince or king in Murat.
The English and Hanoverian envoys driven for ever from the diet of Ratisbon.
Count Kellet the last remaining adherent of England in the Prussian cabinet, dismissed, and the French influence predominant.
Cardinal Fesch, uncle of Bonaparte, chancellor, in fact , of the German empire.
Bonaparte issuing guarantees of dominion and sovereignty, under a golden bull , in imitation of Charlemagne.
Indications of considerable changes on the shores of the North Sea.
Hanover, reported to be about to be re-occupied by France, and the kingdom of Batavia to comprehend the countries embracing both shores of the Ems and the Weser, and to the banks of the Elbe.
The Austrian government at the command of France, excluding British vessels from her ports.
Are these the favorable symptoms of peace?—If these are the signs of peace—what must be the condition of England? What kind of a peace can the expect? " Indemnity for the past and security for the future! " Whither are these visions led? And why instead of a statue to the memory of the monster whose coalitions and corruptions have produced these terrible changes on the face of Europe—these solemn facts exhibit to the world the alternative which that monster, the British government, preferred to the establishment of equal liberty in a single nation.
Why are the public told, that these are indications of a peace, when no peace can take place but upon such a basis as reduces England, for ever, to the lowest state of vassalage, and which can only be the prelude to her becoming what Bonaparte said to Fox on his visit to Paris—a member of the great western family.
When an editor publishes that such facts as the above indicate a peace—either he has no understanding at all, or he sacrifices judgment and sense to the gratification of a few chop fallen Englishmen .
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Young Austin —I am sensible of the impropriety of publishing any thing at this time on the untimely death of this amiable young gentleman, but my apology is the party paragraphs which have appeared respecting it in the Evening Post . Under the pretence of abashing party efforts, Mr. Coleman has wantonly called up party feelings. With what I have to say on the causes which led to the death of the young gentleman, I will however mingle as little of party as possible. The public seem to call for information concerning the murder. The facts which follow are verbally communicated to me by an intelligent gentleman from Boston, and they are strengthened by written information.
In Boston, as here, the federal party have for several years made it a point to discountenance the celebration of our independence, asserting that it is inconsistent with a cordial amity with Great Britain. With them, therefore to be consistent, the celebration was every year becoming more and more a farce. The republican party in Boston have, however, celebrated the day with splendor, and this year, elated with the fair prospect of republicanizing the state, it was commemorated by them with unusual magnificence.
Finding that they are descending in the state without perhaps the power of retaining their fall, the federal party, as a state trick, had this year recourse to a commemoration of the day. Resolving, as an expedient, to celebrate it, every thing possible was to be done to make a good exterior appearance.—They were sufficiently early in their arrangements to secure to themselves Faneuil Hall. As the republicans were to be together, they had therefore house accommodation to seek.
The republican committee, of which Mr. Benjamin Austin, father of the deceased, and known during the reign of terror as the writer of Old South , was chairman, waited on the keeper of the Jefferson Inn, at the foot of Copse hill, and engaged with him by written contract to provide dinner for 400 persons.—He agreed to furnish 400 with dinner at one dollar each, the company finding their own wines. The innkeeper had resided in Boston but about 14 months.
As soon as the written agreement was made, the chairman of the republican committee, hearing that the Tunisian ambassador and Mr. Cathcart had arrived in town, sent them a note of invitation to dine, which was accepted; besides these the committee invited eighteen gentlemen; there were therefore twenty extra covers to be furnished, which was stated to the Jefferson innkeeper, and to whom it was added that an adequate compensation would be made for the extra number. The day was joyfully spent.
A few days after the committee, with its chairman, called to pay their bill, which was stated by the landlord to be 700 dollars. The committee offered him 400 dollars, according to agreement, and 50 dollars, for the twenty extra, but he insisted on 700 dollars, alleging that in bringing an extra number the agreement was broken. The innkeeper said that he had consulted with T. O. Selfridge, the murderer of young Austin, who had advised him to demand the 700 dollars, and offered to carry on a prosecution against the chairman of the committee for its recovery, gratis. The committee then offered the landlord 500 dollars for the extra number, but he refusing to accept it the committee retired.
In the next number of the Reportery , a federal paper, said to be partly edited by Selfridge, the committee and the republican party generally were attacked
as a set of scurvy fellows who had not paid the poor innholder for their feastings. The Reportery is published by a coxcomb of the name of Park, who copying Mr. Coleman, imitates his meanness.
Finding that Selfridge, for little party purposes, had thus abetted extortion, the committee to get rid of the innholder whom they found to be a federalist, paid the $700. After the money was paid the attacks continued in the Reportery .
Mr. Austin, chairman of the committee, being told on the exchange as a sort of disgrace, that the man's bill was unpaid, he answered that it was not, and added a relation of the part that Selfridge had acted with the landlord. Next day Selfridge met Mr. Austin in the street, and asked him if he had stated that he had advised a prosecution? He answered that he had, and that he could and would prove the fact. Having sworn that he would either make Mr. Austin "eat his words or make an apology," Selfridge retired.
The same evening, but without farther communication with Mr. Austin, Selfridge sent a note to a federal paper, "posung him as a liar, a scoundrel, and a coward." Mr. Austin received a proof sheet of the note the night before it was published, so that on the same day it was thus answered in the Chronicle , a republican paper.
"Considering it derogatory to enter into a newspaper controversy with one T. O. Selfridge, in reply to his insolent and false publication in the Boston Gazette , of this day; if any gentleman is desirous to know the facts on which his impertinence is founded, any information will be given by me on the subject."
"BENJAMIN AUSTIN."
"Boston, Aug. 4."
When Selfridge saw the note, he loaded his pistols, put them in his pocket, and went to seek Mr. Austin, swearing that he would shoot him wherever he could find him.—Selfridge went to one of the insurance companies where Mr. Austin was, but it happened that he was in a back room, where he was not seen by his fell seer.
Unable to meet with Mr. Austin, walking up a street, he met his son, a youth of 19.—Selfridge accosted him. As they were alone no one can tell what conversation took place, but a witness who lived opposite to where they stood and saw them, stated in his evidence before the coroner's inquest, that they had been but a few moments together when Selfridge pulled a pistol from his pocket and lodged the contents of it in the bosom of the young gentleman, who immediately expired!
The jury, consisting of eleven federalists, gave a verdict of " murder with malice aforethought ." Mr. Russel, editor of the Centinel , a federal paper, was on the jury.
ALBANY, August 14.
Extract of a letter from his excellency Gov. Hull, to his friend in this city, dated Detroit, 11th July, 1806.
"I arrived here the 6th June; the Territory was in a high state of alarm; they expected an attack by the Indians; they were building block-houses and stockades for a hundred miles in extent. I immediately sent for the chiefs of the different nations. They came according to my request, and in a few days every thing was explained to their satisfaction. They are perfectly friendly and every thing is entirely tranquil.—The people have returned to their usual employments."
BALTIMORE, Aug. 20.
Captain McCombs, arrived here yesterday from Trinidad, informs, that Gen. Miranda sailed the 25th July, accompanied by a ship, 2 brigs and 3 or 4 schooners—supposed for Margaretta .
WASHINGTON CITY, August 20.
Swartwout is removed from the office of marshal of the New York district, and already the whole federal pack of Editors are in full cry against the administration. As they do not pretend to know anything of the motives which influenced this measure, and indeed disclaim all knowledge of them, we should feel some surprise at the vehemence of their denunciation, did they not habitually condemn every measure of the government, except in the solitary case of the appointment of a federalist to office. We should not, if we possessed the materials, undertake the futile task of elucidating understandings which thus resolutely and systematically judge without knowledge. It may, however, be proper, for the satisfaction of others, to state a few facts, in doing which we too disclaim all knowledge of the particular motives that dictated the removal of Mr. Swartwout. We think it would be well, if the constitution required the executive, on removing an officer, to assign his reasons. But so long as this is neither required by the constitution, nor by usage, we cannot justly complain of silence in this or other instances. We may justly complain, if an unworthy officer is suffered to remain in office, because it operates to the injury of the public; but we have no reason to complain so long as the successor discharges his duties faithfully. This is the only point in which the nation is interested. With regard to the duties of a marshal they are multifarious; and it ought to be recollected that in the present instance the removal may be for reasons altogether distinct from those that are connected with Ogden and Smith's trial.
Now for the facts.
The American Citizen has given the pages at full length summoned in the case of Miranda; from which statement it appears that the jurors were selected with studied partiality. We have indeed

heard it affirmed that on the petit jury which tried the accused there was not a single democrat. Could this possibly have been the result of accident?
The accused were acquitted in the face of the strongest testimony.
The pleadings of the counsel of the accused made the question a political, a party question.
Every mind will draw its inferences from these facts.
We merely add the notice taken of this subject by the American Citizen.
Coleman's dilemma. —On Wednesday we republished from the United States Gazette, a Philadelphia federal paper, an article stating that the President had removed Mr. Swartwout from office, because, as a witness in court on the trial of col. Smith, he would not "accommodate his testimony on oath to the views & wishes of the administration!" This slander was republished in Parson Lewis's paper, knowing at the same time, as he did know, that it was a vile slander.
"On opening the commission of Mr. Curtenius, who is appointed Marshal in the room of Mr. Swartwout, it appears that it is dated on the fifth day of May. This is surely a sufficient refutation and exposure of the traducement of the United States Gazette."
"Beaten off this ground, and accommodating himself to circumstances as they arise, Mr. Coleman has changed the mode of attack; for the administration must, at all events, be attacked."
"The excellent logician says that the commission and supercedas being dated in May, Ogden & Smith must either be tried over again, or—mark the wisdom and energy of the man!—the commission is—what? Why—antedated! Bless me, how great! 'Tis equal to the high flights of Mr. H—'s genius."
"Mr. Jefferson it seems determined, in May last, to remove Mr. Swartwout from office, and a commission was accordingly made out for Mr. Curtenius. But, recollecting that the trials of Smith and Ogden were pending and that if issued the new appointment might be construed by malevolence into an attempt to influence some of the proceedings of the court, the commission was retained in the office of the department of state till the issues were known. It was then forwarded to this city. There was no formal supercedas issued. Mr. Coleman is totally ignorant as to the issuing of a supercedas. It is not the practice of the general government to issue one. Mr. Harrison might have told him so."
"Ogden and Smith are to be tried over again! Did stupidity ever before make such a remark? And why are they to be tried over again? Because the trial was a mock one? Why, says this great lawyer, who when in practice was the delight of the bar, because the commission was dated in May, and he might have added because Mr. Curtenius neither got it, nor was sworn in until August! Let Mr. Coleman tell his friends (for no one else will enquire) whether Mr. Curtenius was marshal before he received the commission and took the oath of office."
"He sees that I have taken this side of his dilemma; now I'll take the other. The commission is not anti dated; I call on him to show that it is."
NORFOLK August 20.
CAPT. STRONG , of the Ship Highland Mary , in 50 days from Anwerp: arrived this morning, and has favored us with Paris papers to the 21 st , and Dutch papers to the 18 th June. But their contents are quite uninteresting. The Paris papers are filled with details of the affair of Pieie , and are sanguine that an immediate rupture between Great Britain and this country is inevitable.
The silence of our Paris papers, respecting a separate peace between Russia and France, proves that the intelligence via London is unfounded.
A Paris paper of the 20 th June, gives the following statement of the commerce of the city of Bordeaux—Arrived, in the month of May, 100 vessels, manned with 535 men, and of tons 9,514—Sailed, 120 vessels, of 11,895 tons, manned with 750.
LEXINGTON, (Ken.) August 2.
COMMUNICATED.
Can Wood be any thing more than the puppet of a principal juggler, who sitting behind the curtain, is determined, demon like, to obtain, revenge of men, whose firmness and integrity on former occasions, put him off the political stage, and consigned him to private life? Why do not men who have proof of the fact in their possession, drag him from his den, and put him into public view, in all his native colors?
Is Wood more than the forlorn hope of a wretched and desperate party, whose political prophesy long since, made them contemptible in this State, and recently deprived them of public confidence in others?
Wood says, that he begins to feel himself "treading on most delicate ground" To hear Wood talking of delicacy, when he gets his living like the famous Scotchman of Edinburgh, would induce us to expect a w— to prate of chastity, or the devil of religion.
Alarmed by the effects which are likely to follow from the mention of names, Wood resorts to inuendoes—no longer mentions names—and like most other cowardly assassins, he chooses to stab in the dark.
The dark and assassin like inuendoes which Wood throws out against the memory of the late Col. George Nicholas, whose integrity, firmness and independence, sunk the Feds of Kentucky into insignificance, proves the motives with which the Western World was established. Federalists cannot hope to regain the power they have lost, except by destroying the reputation of every patriot, whether dead or living, whose principles and whose actions bear testimony against their conduct.
Who originated the Western World? Did the idea of it commence with Wood? or did the idea come from Richmond in Virginia? or from Federalists in Woodford and Frankfort? or was Federal gold the first promoter of its interests? Are not some proofs in the possession of men, who can throw some light upon these subjects?
Give me time, says Wood, and I will produce my proofs—and are we to depend upon a renegade's promises, who was never depended on wherever he was known?

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED
"Cantonment, Bank of Missouri, 20th July, 1806."
"I write to you from this place, where I have been spending a few days at the governor's quarters who is preparing here for his descent of the river to Natchez, or perhaps lower. The situation of this encampment is indeed the most magnificent I ever saw. Situated near the conflux of the Missouri and Mississippi, it has a commanding view of both rivers, and appears to have been intended by nature as the scite of the town, which shall not only be the emporium of the commerce of both, but shall have power to check and keep in awe the various tribes, who wander on the banks of either. The prospect from the hill which in the rear immediately hangs over the encampment, takes in a distance of nearly 30 miles up the two rivers, which appear beautifully interspersed with isles and varied by all the effect of light and shade.—This prospect, altho' not entirely complete, from the want of cutting some vistas thro' some very heavy timber which is immediately under the hill, strikes the spectator so sensibly, that when Mr. Burr first saw it, he exclaimed, that "it was the greatest prospect, in expectation, he had ever seen" From the bottom of the hill gushes a spring (a thing rare in this country) of the largest dimensions and finest water (no doubt proceeding from the Missouri) in the whole country; and from the spring the above tract takes its name, being called La belle Fontaine , or the beautiful fountain. The cantonment has assumed the form of a handsome village, and the troops enjoy every comfort which can arise from a most healthy situation, good quarters, and the richest and most extensive garden in the United States. The parallel of the vegetation of this garden I have never seen; the corn and beans are in general 15 feet high, some much higher; heads of cabbages weighing from 10 to 12 pounds already, and rotting through vegetation. I believe that I shall spend the greatest part of the summer here, as it is the garden of the country."
Captain Lewis, late of the Leander , (one of Miranda's vessels) has arrived at New York from Grenada, who gives a very unfavorable account of the prospects of Miranda's expedition—He left him at Trinidad, from whence he has since sailed.
From the London prints it appears that some suspicions of irregularity, in her social intercourse, had fallen upon the Princess of Wales —and it had been made the topic of formal enquiries and examinations.— Aurora .
We have not heard any enquiry concerning the social intercourse of the aforesaid lady's husband—who has lived for thirty years past in notorious intercourse with the wives of other men—mem—Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Storaas, &c.— ib.
The titillation reported in the English prints, with which the prince of Wales has been reputed to be troubled on the forehead—is well known to be a family disease in the Hanover family from the days of the princess Sophia of glorious memory, down to the days of the princess of Wales, grandmother of the prince to a certainty. ib.
The affair of the princess of Wales, appears to us as an act of providential retributive justice, for altho' it is very probable the unfortunate woman is guiltless of infidelity to the prince of Wales, she certainly was well aware, that the prince had a wife already living, who is called indeed Mrs. Fitzherbert, and who if they do not consider religion as a farce (which unhappily is the practice of too many who profess religion)—it must be acknowledged, that before the Almighty presence, the lady called Mrs. Fitzherbert is the wife of that prince; indeed it is notorious, that he maintains intercourse with his first wife still; and very probably the complaints of infidelity, are no more than preludes to a divorce from the German princess, and very possibly, the passage of some law, by which Mrs. Fitzherbert may become queen—for the days of George the III, cannot now be long in the land, and as the king can do no wrong in England, he may return to his first love; and the German princess may like Catherine of Aragon or Anne of Cleves, go to a nunnery—or to Mecklenburg.— ib.
From an Etreux (French) Paper of May 30.
On Saturday last our town witnessed a tragic event which has caused the most lively sensation. Capt. Combet, aide-de-camp to general Laroche, was killed by a jealous husband, who surprised him with his wife. The following are the details now in circulation here upon the affair:
For some time past, the husband (called Lanoue, a printer and bookseller of this town) suspected an intrigue between captain Combet and his wife. Unable any longer to support his uneasiness, he determined to have an explanation upon the subject with his wife. Upon informing her of his mistrust and his grief, he promised to forget her conduct, if she consented to own her fault, and directly break off with her lover. The proposal was accepted. Mrs. Lanoue made the confession demanded of her, and promised to fulfil the other condition, adding that she would not see captain Combet any more.
The husband appeared upon this point as generous as she; for he authorised her to receive her lover once more, for the purpose of signifying to him the resolution she had taken to break off with him and to see him no more. The thing being thus agreed upon, the husband took measures to be assured of the execution of the treaty and of the degree of confidence he might place in his wife's oath. He hid himself in a very small cupboard which it was hardly to be supposed he could get into; and there patiently waited the hour of the interview of the two lovers. Captain Combet arrived. The conversation commenced in a style by no means pleasant for the concealed hearer, and no way conformable to his wife's promise. It was even mixed with jokes and frolics highly offensive to the husband, whose patience, went however, much farther than this, that is to say, so far that the cupboard opened only at the last extremity. The lovers remained motionless with astonishment. Captain Combet endeavored, however, to put a good face upon it, and to turn the scene into raillery and merriment. This latter circumstance raised the husband's fury to the highest pitch. He snatched up a large knife, with which stationers cut their paper that happened to be within his reach, and stabbed his rival with it. The latter ran down stairs to make his escape. The cries of the wife: stop my husband , instantly drew a crowd about the door. Captain Combet, who went out saying, it is nothing , fell down dead upon uttering these words.
The husband and wife have been arrested, and are to be tried. The affair is of a nature to excite great interest, both on account of the singularity of the facts and with regard to legislation and public morals.
It is reported, that an affair has lately taken place in high life, of so singular a nature, that if ever it come before the public, it will puzzle the sages of Westminster hall, as much as the causes of Doctors' Commons to decide upon it. Some years ago, a person of high rank, obtained a divorce of his wife, after having previously recovered damages against the adulterer who seduced her. The seducer and the lady were married immediately after, and lived together until very lately, when she suffered herself to be again seduced! The new seducer is her former husband.— London pap.
Captain David Ockington, in the ship Belle Savage , who arrived at this port in April last, from Batavia, opened some beef a few days before he arrived, which was packed in the autumn of 1799 by Mr. James Barry, of this town, which proved perfectly sweet and good. Said beef had been carried in said vessel the following voyages, viz. one voyage to the North-West Coast and Canton, and back to Boston, two voyages to Batavia, and one voyage to the Havana making in the whole time above six years.— Bost. pap.

By the arrival of peccable inhabitant ed from thence on are informed of the da, and the gentle him, who, all in high day for the continent, of being received with people at large. Dr. Williams also brings the pleasing intelligence, that the gentlemen and crews of the schooners were well, and were treated with attention—that there is not the least probability of any injury happening to them; and that, probably, by this day, they are with their associates.
The following is an extract of a letter dated Trinidad, 24 th July.
"Miranda and his squadron are this moment weighing. It is composed of the Leander , the Lilly , and Express sloops of war, the Attentive gun brig, Prevost and Tickler armed schooners, and four gun boats. If we can credit the reports from the continent, the Sovereign People have, in a great measure revolted, and Miranda will find little or no difficulty in obtaining the objects of his wishes—Hail Columbia happy land ."
A letter from a young gentleman at Trinidad, to his friend in this city, dated July 24, says—"Accounts which come in daily from the prisoners taken in Miranda's Sch r say, that, although closely confined, they are extremely well used by the Spaniards."
We learn from the agent who arrived from Halifax, where he had been as advocate for the owners of the ship Herkimer , captured last June within sight of the Hook, by the Leander , capt. Whibley, and sent in for adjudication; that on the 25 th July they came to trial, and on the 2 d of August the Judge pronounced his decree, which was that the vessel and the whole of the cargo, not even the captain's adventure excepted be condemned. She was owned by Robert Gilchrist, Esq. and others of this city, & was from Lima, with a cargo worth in this market between two and three hundred thousand dollars. The principal ground of condemnation is said to be the unaccustomed trade.— E. P.
WILLIAM & MARY COLLEGE, AUGUST, 1806
It is hereby made known to the public, that there will be established in College a plain, but decent table, upon the lowest terms, which will secure the institution against loss. The board will commence on the 24 th Monday in October, the period fixed for opening the lectures in the philosophical and mathematical schools.
It is also notified, that all junior students will be compelled to lodge in College, to board at the public table to devote certain stated hours to study, to appear at the calling of a roll at 8 o'clock in the evening, during the winter term, and at 9, during that of the summer, to continue in their rooms, after they have retired from the roll, till the next morning, and to observe other regulations, which cannot fail to be highly beneficial to youth.
The object of these arrangements is, not only to diminish the expense of a student at this College, but, to guard, as effectually as can be done, against dissipation and idleness. For this latter purpose, a system, more restrictive than that hitherto adopted, will be steadily pursued. Parents and Guardians who witness the increased tendency to those evils, against which the College holds itself bound to oppose every barrier within its power, will not hesitate to approve of those means, which may be deemed necessary for so salutary a purpose. But, a silent approbation is not sufficient. Their co-operation also is essential. They are, therefore, earnestly requested to take care, that their sons, or wards, shall be compelled to observe prudent and wise economy. It is a maxim, not to be forgotten, that the improvement of youth will generally be inversely as their expense; nor is it less true, that their expenditures will be in proportion to the temptations, which a misapplied liberality must excite. Let then no money be furnished beyond a moderate sum; and, let no credit be allowed, except for specified articles, and to a specified amount. This advice to parents and guardians, will, it is hoped, be duly appreciated, and departed from in no instance. It is impossible, that the wisest system of education can give to youth those inestimable benefits, which might otherwise be derived, if parents and guardians do not strenuously, and zealously comply obedience to that economy, which is here so earnestly recommended; and, that every one may know what may be considered as the necessary expenditure of a student, at this College, it is stated, that

FAMILY GUIDE, TO AVOID INFECTIOUS DISEASES. PROPOSAL, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION A NEW WORK, On the discovery of a Specific for the cure and prevention of The Yellow Malignant Fever, And disorders of the Bilious, Pueril and Malignant kind, Followed by a Dissertation on the Cholera Infantum, the Cynanche Trachealis, or Croup, and a new Method for the certain cure of it. Adapted to persons of every capacity. Addressed to the citizens of the United States of America. BY DR. JOHN J. GRAUD. THE basis of the specific remedy, is simply Soap—universally acknowledged to be a great preserver of health. That without the use of Soap, there can be no cleanliness, and without cleanliness no health, admits of no doubt. Soap has been acknowledged in medicine, for many centuries past, to be a powerful mitigator of the bile, and an antidote containing a most sovereign anti-pesilential quality, which has been confirmed by a long series of success, and by a well tried experience, it possesses an eminent antiphlogistic virtue, which renders it wonderful in all fevers, and diseases produced by a fermented and acid bile. CONTENTS. Article 1. Of the Yellow Fever in general. 2. A new method of treatment for the Yellow Fever, adapted to the capacity of every one. 3. The receipt to compose the specific remedy. 4. The use of it as a preventive of the disease. 5. A list of cures effected by the use of it in divers epidemics. 6. The treatment adopted to bilious, pueril and malignant fevers, cholics, and other affections of the same nature, and those which are produced by an obstructed perspiration. 7. The means of preserving health in the critical season of summer. 8. An address to the public, with a view to guard them against the dangerous and common abuse of some means generally adopted, as well to prevent sickness as to cure it. This advice is of the last importance, because it corrects a popular opinion often productive of injurious consequences. 9. On disorders the most prevalent and fatal among children. A dissertation on the Croup followed by a new method equally secure and easy for curing it. And also, on the means to prevent and cure the Cholera Infantum. This will render the treatise of inestimable utility, as well to private families in town, as to those in the country, removed from the success and assistance which the faculty usually afford. 10. Lastly, will be proved to demonstration, the necessity of assistance promptly administered in the Yellow Fever; without which there follows a total dissolution of our fluids, which nothing can stop. And this will more forcibly convince the advantages of a remedy easy to be found, prepared and taken, which exposes to no danger and containing the sure means of preventing the disorder in the pre-disposition to it, and of removing it after it is made its appearance. No person of sense, father of a family, or other person can be indifferent to the use of a similar remedy, which assures his well being and that of his children and neighbors. CONDITIONS. 1. The work shall be put to press with all possible speed. 11. It shall be handsomely printed in one volume octavo, on good paper, and will be delivered to subscribers, neatly bound, at two Dollars fifty Cents each copy; payable on delivery. * At present the number of pages that the work will contain cannot be ascertained, the probability it will exceed three hundred. Proposals for receiving subscriptions, are left with the principal booksellers in Baltimore. * Printers of newspapers who choose to obtain subscribers to the foregoing work are requested to give the proposal a few insertions in their papers. They will be allowed a discount of 20 per cent on as many copies as they may be proper to take. * Of upwards of 141 persons cured by means of this remedy, in only one epidemic, I have obtained and published the certificates of more than 100, merely with a view to establish and prove the point of my discovery; and in my work I will make mention of a great number cured in like manner in other epidemics. For the details of this, see the American and evening post of the 12th of June 12, 1806.
