Satisfactory Proofs OF THE EFFICACY OF Doctor Church's COUGH DROPS.
A medicine unequalled by any other in the world, since first discovered by Dr. Church; it has restored to health many thousands of the most emaciated objects, both Asthmatic and Consumptive that were ever known to exist both in Europe, America and the West Indies, and often when every other medicine had been used without effect, and the most eminent of the faculty consulted in vain. It is a sovereign, speedy and effectual remedy in Head Aches, Coughs, Shortness of breath, Ticklings in the throat, Tightness in the chest, Hooping Cough, Sore Throats, Wheezings, Congested Phlegm, Spitting of Blood, Soreness in the breast and stomach, &c. &c. ASTHMAS AND CONSUMPTIONS, And all disorders of the breast and Lungs. Further proof of its efficacy, with a list of upwards of one thousand attested cases of cure, may be seen at the place of sale.
Copy of a letter from Captain Henry.
Dear Sir, In the year '95, I had the misfortune to break a blood vessel, which was succeeded by a severe complaint on my lungs, cough, shortness of breath, and spitting of matter and blood, with every other disagreeable symptom of a disorder of the lungs; indeed so afflicting was this disorder, that I could not rest at night, nor could walk 200 yards in the day, without stopping to cough and rest myself a number of times. This disorder continued to increase upon me, until I was much wasted in body, and exceedingly weak. Seeing your advertisements in thy public papers, early in the last summer, I commenced taking your justly celebrated cough drops, which I persevered in the use of, for some time; I have now the happiness of informing you my lungs are perfectly sound; I have no shortness of breath, or spitting up of matter or of blood; my cough is a little troublesome in the morning, but no other time.
I am Sir, Your ever respectful friend, WILLIAM HENRY. Garden-Street, New-York, April 3, 1799. New-York, July 10, 1798. To Dr. CHURCH, Sir.
For upwards of twelve years I have laboured under a severe cough, shortness of breath, spitting of matter from my lungs, and often clotted blood, until at length I was so reduced as to be unable to walk across my room, and owing to the violence of my cough and shortness of breath could get no rest day or night. Hearing of your excellent medicine, the Cough drops, I procured a bottle; I took a dose as soon as I got it, from which I found instantaneous relief, and by continuing it for three days, I believe you have been the instrument in the hands of Providence by saving my life, I must intreat you to publish this for the benefit of any who may be in my situation, as I am confident it is one of the best medicines in the world for those complaints.
I am, Sir, your grateful servant, NICHOLAS STAGG. Little Robinson Street Copy of a letter from an eminent Surgeon, To Dr. CHURCH.
Sir, It is with much pleasure I congratulate you on that important discovery, your Cough Drops, and request that you will send a further supply without delay. The favorable reports brought to me the two last winters of their speedy and good efficacy in the relief and cure of Coughs and Asthmatic complaints, induced me to employ them in
my practice which I have done with much satisfaction to myself and benefit to others.
If the good opinion I entertain of your medicine can recommend it to public notice, beyond what it has acquired you are at liberty to make it known. Indeed I should hold myself unjust to you and uncharitable to mankind did I not with great willingness acknowledge, that I believe it to be one of the best medicines employed in Pulmonary complaints. I sincerely wish you may derive every emolument the medicine entitles you to.
I am, Sir, your very humble servant, ROBERT PORTER.

THE SUBSCRIBER OFFERS FOR SALE,
the three tracts of LAND, hereafter described, which will be sold on very moderate terms, as he expects to remove from the state of Virginia. One tract lies on Staunton river, about 3 or 4 miles below Bibb's Ferry, containing 220 acres of valuable low grounds, and from 5 to 800 acres of highland. The improvements are considerable, only such as will accommodate an overseer; the plantation is well calculated to employ about 8 hands to advantage. One other tract of highland, containing 500 acres, with a small plantation cleared, a good new dwelling house not quite finished. This tract lies about 8 miles from Bibb's, and about the same distance from Owen's Ferry, and about 2 miles from where I live. One other tract, lying in Pittsylvania county, on the main road from Peytonsburg to Danville, containing 300 acres, esteemed a good situation for a store and tavern; on this tract is a good orchard and some other improvements. As I shall be absent from the state for some months, I have authorised Capt. Charles Scott, of Prince Edward county, and Maj. Henry E. Coleman, of Halifax, and either of them, to make sale of the whole or any part of the said lands.

Private Boarding and Lodging.
THE Subscriber (near Mr. Southgate's Store on Shockoe Hill, a fine healthy situation,) will furnish genteel Board and Lodging for a few gentlemen until the first of December next, by the day, week or month, on reasonable terms:—And will then be prepared to receive the Members of Assembly, having a convenient house with seven fine rooms and fire places in each, which he intends to appropriate to the accommodation of the members, and reside, himself, in separate apartments near to it. This house is situated in a north east direction from the Capitol, about 150 yards distance; the space between which is remarkably dry ground in any weather. I flatter myself that the convenience of the house, its proximity to the Capitol, and my unremitted endeavors to give satisfaction, will induce as many members of the next Legislature to put up with me as the house will commodiously entertain.
Those members who wish to engage previous to the session, will please signify the same by letter.
I wish to rent 12 or 15 furnished beds, and to hire during the Session, 3 or 4 good Servants and Cooks, and to engage both immediately.

From the Boston Chronicle.
An invidious attempt has been recently made by the Boston Junto, to arraign the wisdom and consistency of Mr. Jefferson in his governing capacity. The shafts of calumny have been long directed against his private honor, with a wanton and unprofitable temerity; but they have proved only ruinous to the party who gave them action; they have now resorted to another mode of attack, which is more manly, although it is equally fallacious.
As this is the only nation upon the habitable globe where the deeds and principles of the government can be duly canvassed, we might presume that a desire to maintain that privilege would prevent a misuse of such an enviable superiority; with the good and the great it certainly would; but with the base & the illiberal, & treasonable part of society it certainly will not. The reason of this defection from true policy is obvious, as the promulgation of truth would defeat their dishonest purposes. The political existence of their faction is guarded by sophistry and defamation, and their mischievous importance is interwoven with guilt and folly.
The anglo-federal editors have recently changed their ground of abuse, and now inveigh in silly malignity against Mr. Jefferson, because a few French privateers have infested the coasts of the Carolinas, and exercised a spirit of Marauding that has been uniformly common to the pursuits of privateers of all nations; but in this spirit of naval speculation, the several governments to which such privateers belong, have never been considered as responsible, in any other way, than as private actions for individual malefaction, could be enforced by evidence and the perpetrators mulcted or punished by fine or imprisonment, or both. Then wherefore is this hue and cry raised against the wisdom of the executive authority, for suffering this diminutive evil, and laboring to attach the despoilment to the government of France? the answer will be brief and clear. It arises from a tremulous hope in this monarchical junto, to make the people unmindful, or forgetful, of the numerous insults and injuries that have been committed against their dignity and prosperity, by the frigates of his Britannic majesty, whose depredations & insolence have not merely been winked at, or countenanced by the British administration, but the very insulters have been raised to higher credit and advantages in their fatal navy, against whom the most heavy complaints were made by the American government, at the common desire of the aggrieved citizens of America.
The Centinel, in speaking of such depredations and offences, affects a squeamish regret, that we have not a naval establishment, equal to the resistance of these enormities; and would infer, from its non-existence that Mr. Jefferson was regardless of the public good; yet this loud yell among the royalists, for the formation of a navy, never occurred when the Cambrian frigate of England, and other British ships of war, of the same country, were anchored within our harbor at New York, to menace our constituted authorities, and carry our seamen into an infernal captivity. On these trying occasions the federal lalambes were either silently enjoying these degrading offences, on the part of their beloved friends & allies, the British or entenuating or apologising for such harsh measures, by every artifice that fraud, or falsehood, or subtlety could suggest—Nay, some had the effrontery even to dare our government on those unpleasant occasions, and threaten us with the vengeance of those tyrants, whom we had previously overthrown in the contests of popular virtue.
Divesting these insidious labors of their false coloring, their spirit and meaning amounts to this plain fact—they wish (use the language of the Centinel) to have such a navy only put in commission, "as will prevent the buccaneers of the present day from committing their depredations in the mouths of our harbors and on our coast." That is, they wish to have force enough to embroil our government with France, for the unauthorised depredations of its subjects; but do not wish for a naval establishment that could counteract the authorised depredations of the British government's immediate officers & agents.
The anglo-federalists contemplate the attainment of two points by this partial manoeuvre: the first is to create an inextinguishable antipathy between America and France, by a second edition of John Adam's childish crusade against French happiness; and the second is to create the basis of an inextinguishable debt, by the introduction of taxes upon Mr. Pitt's accursed model; well knowing that our liberties would be lost in the influx of corruption, if it succeeded, and if it did not, that the popularity of the government would be endangered by the proceeding.
From the same.
The federal faction have become so ridiculous in their conduct, and are guilty
of so many absurdities, that they are objects of ridicule, rather than of serious notice. They are mere Quixottes of political fanaticism; they rave, scold, coax, & flatter, just as suits their purposes. If they find Duane opposed to M c Kean, they will eulogize the latter and anathematize the former. If Elliott apostatizes from first principles, or Lyon calls hard names in a controversy with his opponents, then forsooth, they take sides with the man whom they heretofore persecuted, and receive him with cordiality as a proselyte to their measures. Mischief is their object, and they don't care whence it arises.
The republicans regard principles and not men. If a man was once a friend to the people, and advocated measures which tended to general utility, so far he ought to be regarded; but if he falls away from his original principles, and reflects with unbecoming language on the individuals who honored him with their suffrages, he has no claim on their former patronage. It is but of little consequence, by whom the injury is inflicted; a nominal friend may do as much mischief as an avowed enemy. Sampson when shorn of his locks was slumbering in the lap of Delilah. He confided in her honor and integrity, but the party who bribed her to their purposes, had obtained too powerful an ascendancy over her venality to protect her lover from her perfidy.
We have of late, some republicans, who differ so little from the Federalists, that we are at a loss in what predicament to place them; their conversation is so exactly conformable to all the ideas of the federalists, that when they converse in company, they receive their full approbation in every particular. Persons of this description are called in Pennsylvania "guids," out in Massachusetts, they more properly may be denominated guid nunces . What more? Is it a proper question to ask them? They appear very solemn in their deportment; very austere in their manners; very arbitrary in their opinions; and very accommodating to their former enemies. If any great purposes are to be effected by such conduct, we would wish to know them. Political questions are subjects of investigation. Calling men fools and rogues proves nothing satisfactory. At this period of political information, we are not to be led by the ipse dixit of any one. Anger is not argument, nor superciliousness conviction.
The prosperity of our country is supposed to be the wish and desire of every republican. We have those among us who have given unequivocal evidences of their attachment to the cause of freedom, detached from every disposition to introduce anarchy, among the citizens. Such men will have their opinions, however disagreeable to those who may heretofore have been in friendship with them. Liberty of thinking is an essential quality of a free citizen, and when any person pretends to censure men for exercising this unalienable right, it gives a tincture of despotism, which will ever be disgusting to an independent mind.
The cause of American freedom so essentially depends on the wisdom and deliberation of the citizens, that we can trust to the issue of their determinations. If Duane proposes, thank God, the people are to judge. Eddes and Gill were as much reprobated as Duane, by the tories. But Eddes and Gill did not carry the point in controversy by their personal influence; they only proposed the questions, and the people ratified them. Why should we not suppose, that the people have as much prudence and discretion now as formerly? If the proposition of Duane is repugnant to the general happiness, it will be negatived in convention. If salutary why should it not be adopted? That the senate of Pennsylvania should not have a constitution analogous to that of Massachusetts, is a question hard to be solved. We however would not wish to judge on the important subject; we recommend moderation to the parties. The Character of governor M c Kean we venerate for his former adherence to just principles, we hope that no improper measures will be taken to displace him from his present station. We also respect his opponents, and in this case, as in all others, when difference of opinion arises, we hope a fair, dispassionate, candid and deliberate decision will reconcile those who are now at variance.
The friends to amendments to the constitution, we trust, will not refine so far on theory, as to render their system a nullity in practice. The stability of the constitution depends on the practicability of its administration, as all visionary projects, however pleasing on paper, will fail in their salutary operation. May the good sense of the citizens of Pennsylvania, prove to the world that the people can govern themselves.

NEW YORK, July 26.
The ship Logan, Bunker, arrived at this port last evening in 47 days from Liverpool, and has furnished the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with Liverpool papers to the 8th of June, inclusive, London papers to the 6th, and Lloyd's Lists to the 4th. They contain nothing politically interesting, as the following, which are the most prominent articles, will shew.
LONDON, June 3.
Of Adm. Collingwood's progress or destination we are still uninformed. He sailed with sealed orders, which were not to be opened until he reached a certain latitude.
Twelve thousand Turks, had on the 23d April, been sent from Constantinople for Egypt; an increased activity prevailed in the Divan; in consequence of the Grand Vizier having been deposed, and the Captain Pasha appointed his successor. It is further stated that a considerable Russian force was daily expected at Constantinople on its passage to the Adriatic.
A disorder nearly resembling the plague of Turkey in its symptoms and mortality, lately broke out at Oujcin, the capital of Scida, and is stated to have carried off seventy thousand persons in the course of a few days. The principal inhabitants fled from the city on the first alarm, and the troops at length refused to perform the duties of the garrison, and marched into the country, whither it is feared they may have carried the distemper. At the date, however, of the last accounts from Bombay, it was understood that the fever confined its ravages to Oujcin, and its immediate vicinity.
Saturday, ten guineas were given at Lloyd's, to receive one hundred, should five thousand French troops be landed in Ireland within the next six weeks.
Paris papers to the 26th, and Dutch journals to the 29th ult. were received on Friday. The Moniteur contains no intelligence of importance, if we except that Bonaparte was crowned king of Italy on the 23d, at Milan, from which place, those papers say, he is to set off directly for Boulogne. It is observable, that in the Moniteur and other papers, many suggestions are offered as to the probability of an approaching peace between Great Britain and France.
It is said to be the intention of government to disband all volunteer corps that do not muster according to the offers they have made, and in such districts to put in force the act for the levy-en-masse.
Lord Melville's impeachment is to be resisted by the whole weight of government; the most pressing letters of recall are gone over to the members who had returned to Ireland.
The author and publisher of a pamphlet against Earl St. Vincent, have been convicted of writing and vending a libel against that distinguished Admiral.
June 4.
The reports of a pacific tendency which have lately been circulated and received with some avidity on the continent, sufficiently mark the disposition of the bulk of mankind on the subject. There appears abroad no kind of reason why Europe should again be involved in war, and in this country it appears extremely unlikely that either party can do more than ward off a blow. Two long years are now expired, and we are confessedly as near a regular plan and probable means as when we began.
Lord Gardner's fleet consists of twenty eight sail of the line, which he left all well on Thursday last. Eight or nine sail of the ships are three deckers. His lordship is now able and will shortly be made so, to send a detachment off to any of the southern ports of France, or the coast of Ireland, as may be required.
June 5.
Dispatches were yesterday received at the admiralty from Lord Keith. They relate to the increased preparations of the enemy at Boulogne, and mention the capture of some small vessels from Flushing. Letters from on board our blockading squadron state that the enemy's flotilla is every day in motion, and that it has of late been reinforced from other ports in the channel. An officer writes under the date of Friday last as follows:
"From all the observations I am able to make, and from the information I collected, I am fully persuaded the enemy seriously intend to make an attempt at coming out."
Orders have been given for a very strong squadron to watch the motions of the Rochefort fleet; and that some last sailing vessels shall be stationed to give the earliest notice of their putting to sea again, which government have reason to believe they will soon attempt to do.
Dispatches were this morning received at the admiralty from Admiral Drury, on the Irish station; we cannot learn that they bring any very interesting intelligence.
We have of late taken notice of different unpleasant reports circulated in some of the morning papers, of symptoms of disaffection in Ireland. We are very much inclined to believe that they are mere fabrications. They are not countenanced by any letters we have seen from Dublin; and we have seen letters and newspapers of the date of Saturday last.
In the event of the late Sir William Pulteney's having left no will, the principal part of his Shropshire estates, to the amount of above 30,000l. per annum, will
fall to the earl of Darlington: the rest of the Bath, and his own unentailed property, of course devolves on his only daughter, the countess of Bath. He is succeeded in his title, and in all his entailed property, consisting of his Scotch and West India estates of about 10,000l. per annum, by his nephew, Capt. Johnstone, of the Cold stream guards, son of the late gov. Johnstone. The amiable and accomplished lady Bath may now be reckoned one of the richest personages in this country, the American property being of incalculable value.
PRICE OF FLOUR.
Fine flour 75 to 78s. Seconds 65 to 75s. per sack.
In consequence of the large arrivals of foreign wheat, and of the additional quantity expected, it is the general opinion that it would have been more advisable for the farmers to have sent it to market during the late high prices. The expected arrivals are so enormous, that a further reduction in the price is expected.
Admiral Russell returned to Yarmouth on Saturday with the squadron under his command. It is not to be supposed therefore the Dutch fleet is in that state of preparation for sea which an American vessel lately reported, for then it is not probable Russell, unless compelled by weather, would have come into port.
The arrival of the convoy under command of sir James Craig at Lisbon, was made the subject of a very strong note by the French ambassador to the Portuguese government.
HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH DAY.
Yesterday his majesty completed the sixty-seventh year of his age. It is always with a peculiar and grateful satisfaction that we commemorate the splendor of this anniversary. They are not outward and visible signs only, but the real heart felt tribute of affection from the most distinguished part of his majesty's subjects, who, upon this occasion truly represent and express the feelings of the whole. At one o'clock as many cannons as his majesty is years of age, were discharged in St. James's Park.
After giving a very long and splendid account of the ceremonies of the day, and especially of the superb dresses of the ladies (which occupies six columns of a London paper) we find the following.
Observations.—From the variety and splendor displayed in the dresses for the various royal fetes lately given, we would have supposed our Marchands des Modes had exhausted all their taste and ingenuity; but yesterday convinced us that, for fancy, design, and execution, they can have no rivals. If the grandeur of one dress astonished, the elegant simplicity of another captivated: in this number we consider the pearl embroidery, which is as new as it is elegant: feathers never were worn in greater profusion, nor was more taste ever displayed in forming the penaches. The favorite colors were lilac, apple blossom, pea green, and jonquil. The hair was dressed a la grecque . Diamonds were worn in great profusion. In court dresses fashion can only change the length of the waist or the ornamenting of a sleeve; but, for her majesty's evening party, the costume of all nations were put in requisition. The Grecian, Circassian, and Turkish, were the most predominant.
Corn Market, Mark Lane, June 5.—The supply of wheat here is large, with several more arrivals of foreign; it is evidently on a decline in price, excepting that of fine quality, which is still scarce. The late great sale by auction, was from 50s. to 72s. per quarter, ordinary and damaged.
General currency as under, Wheat, 55s. 68s. per qr. Fine ditto, 90s. 92s. Rye, 48s. 52s.
Last week some thousand quarters of wheat were sold by auction in Mark Lane, & many more to day, which occasions so little doing in the general way. It is supposed that there are nearly 200,000 quarters now on their way to England from Russia, Dantzic, and other ports; this must inevitably tend to a reduction in the price of this article, and consequently bread it is presumed will be cheaper.
June 6.
The collecting of a strong fleet in the Downs, which we stated yesterday, is probably in consequence of some information received respecting the movements of the enemy on the French coast; for even the ships which composed the North Sea Squadron, which had come into Yarmouth a few days ago, have been ordered to the Downs; and we find by our Port letters that some of them have actually sailed for that station.
The prevailing opinion, at the present moment respecting the combined fleets, is, that one part of them is destined to take possession of the Cape of Good Hope, and the other to secure the Brazils; the former having been ceded to France, and the latter promised to Spain. Should they succeed in such a design, and we see nothing at present that can possibly prevent them, it will be productive of incalculable disasters to our India trade. The enemy possessed of the Cape of Good Hope on one side, and of the Brazils on the other, would form a chain which could not be broken through at any time but by a very strong convoy, which ought to be employed on more active services. Deprived of the resources of the Brazils, Portugal must sink by a natural death into the devouring jaws of the King of terrors, Bonaparte, who would probably lull the fears, and fan the hopes of Spain with the possession of that devoted state, until he
found an opportunity of adding the kingdoms of Hesperia to that of Italy. This morning some dispatches, were taken on board a Spanish packet by the Aolus privateer, of Guernsey, were brought to the secretary of state's office, by the commander of the Aolus . They were thrown overboard by the Spaniards, but recovered by the exertions of the people belonging to the privateer. It is very probable these dispatches may lead to some knowledge of the intended operations of the enemy.
It is reported that Bonaparte has arrived at Boulogne, having reached that port on Sunday last. It is said he returned to Paris on the 30th ult. where he only staid that and the following day. We know not on what authority this statement rests, but certain it is that there has been a great bustle at Boulogne for about a week past, as if preparations were making for some more than ordinary occasion; and a firing was heard along the French coast during a great part of Saturday.
LIVERPOOL, June 8.
Considerable bustle is excited by the late movements in the harbor of Boulogne. The enemy have made some demonstrations, as though part of the flotilla was meant to be sent out, and great activity is observed among the troops on shore. This has called for additional vigilance in our cruisers, and the force on this station is to be immediately and considerably augmented. The Dutch ports are also watched with additional attention. These precautions are very commendable. It is certainly not to be concluded, from the character of the enemy we have to contend with, that his activity at home is likely to be suspended, because he is more than usually enterprising abroad.
MILAN, May 4.
The deputation sent by our Government to Turin, to compliment the Emperor Napoleon, met with the most gracious reception from his majesty. The following are some passages in the answer which that Monarch returned to the address of the President of this deputation:—
"I receive, with pleasure, the expression of the sentiments of the people of Milan. These sentiments have been known to me from the time I first entered victorious within their walls. I consider the inhabitants of Milan as my children; and I shall ever entertain for them the most particular affection, while I applaud myself for having delivered them from their enemies, and saved them from the dangers which threatened them. I recommend to them the practice of the social virtues actively, the love of their country and order. Speaking of the Italian Republic, and the kingdom of Italy, he said that the former had excited envy and jealousy, and the latter might excite them still more, as it afforded less facility to agitate and disturb; but in that case, God had given him a good sword to scatter its enemies. His Majesty added, that he would never lose sight of the interest of the city of Milan, and that he would hasten the moment of his arrival in the midst of the Milanese people."
AMSTERDAM, May 21.
Our Gazette mentions a report from Paris, that Rear Admiral Magon, with two ships of the line and three frigates, had put to sea from the Isle of Rhe, and that their destination was to the East-Indies.
NEW-YORK, July 24.
From capt. Elisha Smith, of the brig Bellona, arrived last night from Martinique, we have received the following particulars:
Capt. Smith left Fort Royal (Martinique) on the 4th July. It was then reported, that the French fleet had sailed for France, and that the British fleet under lord Nelson was in chase of them. The French fleet, previous to their departure, had taken on board most of the troops that were there; and it was conjectured that their destination was against Antigua; but on news of the arrival of lord Nelson, soon after the departure of the fleet dispatches were immediately sent to inform them of it. Soon after accounts came to Fort Royal of their having sent the troops to Guadalupe, and made sail for Europe. It appears that the French fleet were expected to return to Martinique, as all the bake houses were put in requisition to supply them with bread, and the flour for that purpose lodged in the royal stores; but that order was countermanded. The troops that went with the fleet arrived at Fort Royal in frigates &c. a few days before capt. Smith sailed. About the time of his leaving Fort Royal, a cartel which had arrived from Barbadoes, sailed with all the British prisoners. A frigate had arrived there from France, said to have on board paper money to pay the troops—she spoke the French squadron in the bay of Biscay, bound home. On the 5th July in passing off Dominica, capt. Smith counted 12 or 14 sail of large vessels, apparently men of war, lying in Prince Rupert's bay. One of them appeared to have a white flag at the mainmast head. On the 6th inst. in lat. 19, 30, long. 62, 20, the Bellona was enveloped in a dreadful thunder storm—while all hands were in the act of drawing up the topsails, she received a violent shock of lightning, she reeled, and every person on board struck down with it; one man was killed and another wounded. The fore top-gallant-mast-head was shivered to pieces, and the fore-top-mast so badly injured as scarcely to stand till next morning, and the fore-mast was also badly injured, from the trussel trees to the deck. The lightning entered into the
forehold by the foremast; and appears to have found vent upwards, as four of the deck planks before the foremast were started.
We have seen a letter dated Cadiz Bay, the 3d of June, mentioning that a Spanish ship of war, which had been laying in port some time, went out on the 2d June to cruise in the mouth of the harbor, and met with an English frigate of 44 guns. The Englishman attacked him, and maintained a brisk fight of four hours, and then sheered off, the Spaniard being too heavy for him, but so badly managed, that the frigate although considerably injured, easily made her escape. The letter adds, that this glorious victory, (if it deserves that name) was on the day following celebrated in Cadiz, from whence the sight was seen, by the ringing of bells and beating of drums.
The brig Hudson, capt. Bailey, of this port, bound to Naples, with a valuable cargo (principally sugar) all American property, was captured on the 10th of May, by a Spanish privateer, robbed of all his papers, and afterwards sent into Cadiz. On the arrival of the Hudson at Cadiz, the Spaniards cut off all communication between her and the shore; thus preventing the captain from conveying intelligence of his situation, which he at length effected by bribing the guard.
July 25.
Indian War.—A letter, received in this city yesterday, from a respectable gentleman at Detroit, (dated 24th June,) states, that "the Sock Indians and Ojowas have sent in their chiefs to the council at Malden. They are spreading the war belt in every direction—their object is war with the Osages on the Mississippi. They applied for the assistance of the Hurons, who answered, that they were in treaty of peace (made at Grenville) with the U. States; that they had buried the hatchet, and would not take it up again. The Socks and Ojowas replied, "we shall now know how to treat you when we come forward." The Osages, it is said, will claim the protection of West Louisiana; and it is believed, that the United States will be involved in the war.—The troops ought to be returned to this place, and the fortifications strengthened. We are, indeed, in a miserable situation for defence—the citadel in ashes, the fort deserted, and only a few straggling soldiers about the ship-yards."
The letter, from which the above intelligence was taken, says the Commercial Advertiser, contains a description of the sufferings to which the inhabitants of Detroit had been reduced by the late conflagration of their village. "About ninety families," says the letter, "are left without a roof to shelter them; with the ground for their bed, and the heavens for their canopy—yet we are not in despair; a spirit of industry appears to pervade all ranks, and I hope that by the assistance that will be obtained from the affluent, Detroit will flourish once again."
The inhabitants have appointed a committee to estimate the damages, and to solicit and receive contributions for the relief of their unfortunate town. We presume, the affluent and charitable citizens of New York, will exhibit their accustomed liberality on this occasion. So loud a demand for the exercise of their benevolence, has rarely occurred.
Jamaica papers to the 30th ult. were received yesterday, and furnish a few articles of intelligence. All apprehension of danger from the enemy had subsided, as on the 23d martial law expired, and the militia were dismissed.
KINGSTON, June 15.
The American brig Ontario, from St. Domingo, bound to New York, with mahogany, fustic and hides, detained by La Seine, frigate, arrived on Saturday.
On Sunday last, eight or nine leagues to the eastward of Cape Maize, the Lark, which carries 6 guns and 15 men, engaged, and beat off a French privateer. The following particulars are extracted from her log book:
"Sunday, June 9.
"At five A. M. discovered a small sail bearing from us N. E. with her larboard tacks on board, which proved to be an American trader. At twenty minutes past six saw another sail to the S. W. wearing every appearance of an enemy, by her crowding sail, and bearing right down on us; at eight she hauled her wind as I supposed in order to reconnoitre us and clear for action; at twelve minutes past eight she bore up and stood for our weather quarter; at nine she fired a gun and hoisted French colors at her main peak, she then being about two miles distance from us; from that period till half past nine she kept edging down upon us under a press of sail; at twenty minutes past nine I hauled my courses up and prepared for battle, the enemy keeping up a constant fire during the latter period. Finding she intended to keep on my quarter I ordered the main top-sail to the mast, and, before she was aware of this manoeuvre, I got her completely under the bearing of my guns, at which period the action commenced with a spirited and well directed fire on both sides; & continued with great warmth, for an hour & 28 minutes, when the wind falling light, and the enemy getting closer to us, our larboard and grape began to tell upon her to some purpose; she immediately hauled close upon a wind, and got out seventeen sweeps of a side to pull clear of us, which she effected under a galling fire from our guns. She proved to be a schooner of amazing length with black sides, and a dirty looking yellow streak in the mid-
dle of the black, a lead colored bottom, and carrying two very blackish looking gaff top-sails. She mounted several guns of different calibres, but, in particular, two eighteen pounders, which threw shot at least half a mile to leeward of us. It was impossible to count her men, they stood so thick and crowded on her decks; she had, at the lowest calculation, not less than 100 men."
The privateer about an hour afterwards, took possession of an American schooner supposed to be bound to this island.
June 22.
We are informed that earl Camden states in a letter to general Nugent from the packet, that sickness had broken out among the French troops soon after their first sailing from Toulon, the mortality having been occasioned by the ships being too much crowded, and that on sailing a second time they only took on board 4800 men, instead of double the number; and earl Camden supposed the Spanish vessels must have on board about the same proportion of troops. Their loss by sickness we leave our readers to estimate.
The expedition for the West Indies, under sir Eyre Coote, which may be shortly expected, consists of the 6th, 24th, 32d, 38th, 52d, 71st, 72nd, 83rd, 89th and 93d regiments.—The generals under sir Eyre Coote are maj. gen. Drummond, and brigadier generals Montresor, M'Farlane, and Bailliff. General Coote, we understand, has instructions to act where it may be found necessary.
On Thursday morning the following squadron sailed from Port Royal for the windward islands, for the purpose of joining vice admiral lord Nelson; viz.
  St. George 98 Commodore Hon. M. de Courcay   Atlas 74 Capt. S. Pym   Centaur 74 H. Whitby   Eagle 74 D. Colby   Success 32 C. Scott 
PHILADELPHIA, July 26.
The following recent instance of tyranny, exercised by the British Government at Surinam, having been made the subject of conversation in several circles in this city, I think it a duty I owe to the public and myself, to publish the circumstances as they have been sworn to in my affidavit before the Mayor of the city on my arrival; and which were noted down at the time.

PARAMARIBO, June 9, 1805.
Proceedings of the Governor of the British Colony of Paramaribo, in South America.
Being loaded and nearly ready for sea, I repaired as usual to the custom house, for my clearance, but I was informed on my arrival, that the Fiscal had refused to sign my certificate, unless I would take on board two criminal negroes, who were under condemnation of banishment: This I informed them I could never think of doing, and went immediately to the American Consul, and informed him of the Fiscal's resolution: he advised me to go and lay the business before the Governor.—Accordingly I went, and waited on his Excellency, not doubting but that he would interfere in my favour; but alas, I soon found my mistake—I met the Governor and his Secretary standing at the door; I advanced and addressed the Governor as follows: Sir, your most obedient; I have business of importance to acquaint you with. The Governor asked what is it? I answered.—The Fiscal sir, refuses to sign my clearance, unless I will take on board two criminal negroes, that are sentenced to be banished from the Colony; the Governor replied, very well, take them. I asked, must I take them? the Governor replied yes, you must take them; I answered, I think it hard; the Governor replied I can't help that, you must take them; they will answer you a very good purpose, they will be fit members for you Americans. I then asked, but why sir if they are such useful members of society, do you not keep them in your own Colony? The Governor answered, because we don't like them, they don't answer our purpose, they don't suit us, but they will do very well for you, they will answer you a good purpose. I answered, neither do I like them, nor can I take them; the Governor said you must take them. I replied, how shall I answer this to my country when I return? I expose myself to a very heavy fine, besides incur my country's displeasure. The Governor answered, O poh, things of this nature are easily answered in America; I replied, be that as it may General, I cannot take them; the Governor then answered in a peremptory tone of voice, then remain there, looking towards the shipping at anchor: the Governor then walked away. I then addressed the Secretary, and asked, is there then no alternative? the Secretary replied, none at all, you must take them. I went immediately to the Consul, and requested him to make out my protest as soon as possible, for I should immediately abandon both vessel and cargo; the Consul advised me to form no such resolution, he said that he would do all that lay in his power to assist me, he wished me to carry a letter to the Governor, accordingly I went and gave the letter to the Governor's Secretary—I waited until the next day, but no answer came to the letter. I was then advised to go once more and see the Governor, that perhaps he had altered his resolution. I thought the prospect small, but notwithstanding, I went at about 9 o'clock in the morning, I met the Secretary at the door, and addressed him with your servant sir, I asked, Is the Governor within? the Secretary replied Yes; I asked, Can I see him? he said No, it is not an hour to wait on the Governor. I answered, I ask pardon for

Lottery.—We are informed that the three lawyers who were consulted upon this subject have given their opinions—One says that the Lottery ought to be re-drawn, another says that it ought not to be decided...
Gun Boats Nos. 3, 6, and 10, were spoken by the British frigate Lapwing, on the 9th June in lat. 40, long. 34, the officers and crews were much pleased with them.
The ship Ann, Smith of Baltimore, with stores for the Mediterranean squadron; and the U. S. brig Syren, were at Gibraltar June 1.
We consider the following article of the utmost importance:
Stockholm, (Sweden,) May 23. It is understood here that the treaty between England, Russia and this country IS FINALLY ARRANGED AND DETERMINED.
Price of Stocks, London, July 5. Consols 59 3/8—Omnium 3 1/4—Reduced 53.
Mr. DALTON, who arrived at Plymouth, (Mass.) in the schooner Miles, Standish, direct from Lisbon, passed thro' New York on Thursday, on his way to Washington.
OF TRIPOLI: A letter from Malta, of April 19th, says, preparations for the Tripolian Expedition were then making with great activity.
We learn, (says the Newburyport Herald) by Mr. Harrod, supercargo of the ship Hannah, from Trieste and Gibraltar, that the United States' sch'r Enterprize, captain Robertson, has been entirely refitted at Venice.
The United States' frigate Boston, (the Constitution being in company) captured a Tripolitan cruiser and took two Neapolitan vessels, her prizes, and carried them into Malta.
The Salem Gazette of July 19, says—Hitherto our fishermen have deemed themselves safe from British impressments in their humble occupation, and many of them have therefore thought it unnecessary to provide themselves with protections.
A frigate, taking advantage of this confidence in British generosity, has gone among our craft upon the fishing ground and taken out such as they found destitute of protections, and the frigate has gone into Halifax with the men on board.
Foreign News.—By an arrival at Boston, London News has been received to the 7th June—another at New York furnishes details, which we copy, to the 5th.
The continental powers remained in harmony and peace with each other; nor had there been any indication of their condition being likely to be altered.
Bonaparte, after having been crowned king of Italy, and visited that quarter of his empire is stated to have returned to Paris, and from thence immediately proceeded to Boulogne.
Note.—Mr. Armstrong, Ambassador to his Imperial Majesty from the United States, was invited to attend the sitting, to receive the medal destined for the President, but his health did not permit him to appear.
Mr. Jerome Bonaparte is arrived at Genoa, and occupied, on the 11th May, a part of the palace of the Minister Plenipotentiary, Mr. Salicetti.—Paris Argus.
Schiller, the celebrated German writer of the History of the thirty years war, the Robbers, Wallenstein, Don Carlos, and many other theatrical pieces, departed this life on the 9th of May last, at Weimar.
The house of Reinhardts, at Amsterdam, has just failed for four tons of gold, or 400,000 guilders; this circumstance has had a temporary influence over commercial affairs.
Letters from London, mention, that Mrs. Eliza Bonaparte, wife of Jerome, receives every mark of attention and hospitality from the English nobility and people.
we shall not see your administration marked by political asperity, and that illiberal intolerant disposition, (manifested towards a certain class of our fellow citizens) which were prominent and highly characteristic features of the preceding one.
The opinion which common fame has induced us to form of your excellency's views and intentions bids us to hope that party spirit, which has been introduced, and so industriously cherished by our last leaders, and that odious partiality to a particular sect, & cated by the blind and mistaken zeal of these men, will not, we are persuaded enter into, or be adopted & incorporated by you in your administration.
Having thus expressed freely our opinion of the past, and our expectations and generous confidence in the views and intentions of your Excellency, we have nothing to add, but our serious wishes, that you may so be able to conduct the government, that it may be honorable to yourself, and that you may (together with the love of your people) possess a conscience free from self reproach, and an honest fame.
[Signed by the most respectable inhabitants of Claiborne county.]
REPLY. To Messrs. Wm. M'Caleb, and Joshua G. Clarke.
GENTLEMEN, I receive, with due respect, the address you have this day presented to me, in behalf of yourselves and the inhabitants of Claiborne county, expressing your approbation of my appointment to the government of this territory.
It is a matter of serious concern for a community to be dissatisfied with the administration of its government, more so, if there be just cause. But with a free and enlightened people as you are, it is to be expected that constitutional measures alone, will always be resorted to for relief, and that too with firmness, moderation and respect.
I give you assurance, gentlemen, of my greatest solicitude not to disappoint the reasonable expectations of any portion of my fellow citizens in the course of my administration, and for which I have nothing more to pledge, than a determination to adhere to a conscientious discharge of the duties of my office—the best security against self reproach.

Introducing, but I thought it an hour to wait on any gentleman. The Secretary said, if you are on the affair concerning these criminals, my orders from the Governor are, to inform you, that you must abide by the laws of the colony; that I know no such man as the American Consul in the colony, and that you must take them.

The following piece of intelligence from the Paris Censeur of yesterday is, we presume, premature, as no mention is made of it in the Boston papers.
"At the moment of putting this paper to press we received an article of news, of which we cannot warrant the authenticity: namely the arrival of Gen. MOREAU at Boston. It is said that this illustrious general is going to settle with his family in this peaceful country at least for some time.
CHARLESTON, July 22.
We stop the press to announce the arrival of the schooner Nancy, Connor, in 18 days from St. John's, (Antigua.)
The day before capt. Connor sailed, a Boston sch'r. arrived at St. John's which had three days before fallen in with the combined fleet beating to windward, and the next day fell in with Admiral Nelson in full chase, steering the same course, and within twenty hours sail of the enemy—Lord Nelson had been 18 days in chase, and by calculation had gained 20 miles a day on the combined fleet.
FROM THE MISSISSIPPI HERALD.
AT at a meeting of the inhabitants of Claiborne county, on the 25th of April, (agreeably to previous arrangements,) captain William M'Caleb was called to the chair—when the following address to his excellency Robert Williams, was proposed and agreed to by the meeting:
To his Excellency, Robert Williams, Esq. Governor of the Mississippi Territory.
SIR, WE the undersigned inhabitants of the county of Claiborne, urged on by inclination, and prompted by duty, take the earliest opportunity of tendering to your excellency the homage of our sincere respect.
The general reports that we have received of your excellency's firmness and moderation, and charitable disposition, lead us to consider the commencement of your administration as a new and fortunate era in our public affairs. We are persuaded
of six or seven sail of the line had left Cadiz for the destination unknown. The fleet in Brest and the Texel were in complete readiness for sea; the Spanish squadron at Ferrol was nearly fitted out.
The impeachment of Lord Melville, it seems, had been opposed by the whole weight of the English ministry, and no doubt because Mr. Pitt would necessarily be included in the censure, he having been acquainted with the mal-practices of his friend at the time of their commission.
In the house of commons on the 30th of May, Mr. Whitbread observed that on account of the necessary delay in printing the papers respecting Lord Melville, he felt it necessary to put off his motion for impeachment, until Tuesday, (June 4.)
Mr. Pitt said he understood the gentleman had two objects in view—one the impeachment of Lord M. the other, certain resolutions concerning himself (Mr. P.)
Mr. Whitbread said he should adhere to the order he had laid down of moving the impeachment first; and that he would be prepared to bring forward the other motions as soon after as the house should sit.
Mr. Lascelles said there were three points which might be made the grounds of resolutions against Mr. Pitt—all tending to accuse him of being privy to some of the irregular transactions of Lord Melville—but there was not a shadow of suspicion of his having derived any advantage therefrom.—Aurora.
The Hibernia, captain Done, arrived at Boston, spoke brig Telemachus, on the 13th instant, in a short passage from Leghorn, and was informed that the American gun boats had all arrived at Gibraltar.
We learn by the schooner Diana, from Curacoa, that a British squadron, consisting of two frigates, (one of them La Franchise) two brigs and four sloops, under the command of the honorable Mr. Murray, were blockading Curacoa.
We are further informed that general Ferrand, at the city of Santo Domingo, was in daily expectation of another attack from the emperor Dessalines, and that he had made preparations to give him a warm reception.—N. Y. pap.
The Society of Agriculture and Arts at Paris have been lately occupied with the improvement of the plough, & with much ceremony and compliment have decreed the offer of a Medal to our President for his valuable communications on this subject.
"The Society takes honor to itself for decreeing the 2d medal to the illustrious Jefferson, President of the United States of America.—It is interesting indeed to see the first magistrate of a great republic, lending his talents and name to the humble instrument of labor—and it is a circumstance worthy of remark in the history of this age, and of the new world, that America having received the plough from Europe, returned the present perfected and complete.—The Society cannot offer Mr. Jefferson a more expressive mark of their gratitude than by sending him a collection of the memoirs of this assembly, and an account of its proceedings.
Note.—Mr. Armstrong, Ambassador to his Imperial Majesty from the United States, was invited to attend the sitting, to receive the medal destined for the President, but his health did not permit him to appear.
Mr. Jerome Bonaparte is arrived at Genoa, and occupied, on the 11th May, a part of the palace of the Minister Plenipotentiary, Mr. Salicetti.—Paris Argus.
Schiller, the celebrated German writer of the History of the thirty years war, the Robbers, Wallenstein, Don Carlos, and many other theatrical pieces, departed this life on the 9th of May last, at Weimar.
The house of Reinhardts, at Amsterdam, has just failed for four tons of gold, or 400,000 guilders; this circumstance has had a temporary influence over commercial affairs.
Letters from London, mention, that Mrs. Eliza Bonaparte, wife of Jerome, receives every mark of attention and hospitality from the English nobility and people.
ple. She is attended by her brother, and Dr. Gayer, an eminent French physician—the same who accompanied her in her visit to this town last summer. We have no correct account of the fate of her husband, since he left Lisbon.
The crisis and weather.—The wheat in this country, now reaping, is more prolific than has been known for ten years.
It is with satisfaction we announce the abundant harvests in this country, of wheat, rye, oats and flax.
DIED—On Monday the 22d inst. Mrs. MARY GUERRANT, consort of Mr. Peter Guerrant, of Buckingham, in her 66th year, after a long and painful illness, which she bore with great christian fortitude.
WIFE, CHILDREN AND FRIENDS. BY MR. SPENCER.
If the stock of our bliss is in stranger's hands vested, The fund ill secur'd oft in bankruptcy ends.
When drawn on the firm of—wife, children and friends.
Tho' spice breathing gales o'er his caravan hover, And around him Arabia's whole fragrance descends.
The merchant still thinks of the woodbines that cover
The bower where he sat with—wife, children and friends.
Tho' valor still glows in his life's dying embers, The death wound tar, who his color defend.
Drops a tear of regret, as he dying, remembers.
How blest was his home, with—wife, children and friends.
Theday spring of youth, still unclouded by sorrow, Alone on itself for enjoyment depends.
But drear is the twilight of age if it borrows
No warmth from the smiles of—wife, children and friends.
Twenty Dollars Reward, FOR apprehending and delivering to me, or securing in any jail so that I get him again, ARISTO PILE, a bright mulatto man, with a long bushy head of hair.

NOTICE.  ALL persons indebted to the late firm of  Buchanan, Dunlop & Co. Of Petersburg;  Robert Pollok & Co. Of Richmond; and  Dunlop, Pollok & Co. Of Manchester. Are hereby notified that James Dunlop, late a partner in the above concerns, has become purchaser of the outstanding debts; they will therefore be pleased to make payment to Mr. John Tompkins, residing in Richmond, or the subscriber, residing in Petersburg; who alone are authorized to make collections and grant discharges. Suits will be indiscriminately commenced against all who do not make payment before the 21st of February next.
JOHN DUNLOP, Attorney for James Dunlop. Petersburg, Nov. 15, 1805. (tf)  TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN away from the subscriber about the end of Nov or early in Dec. a black servant named SAM, I believe about 19 or 20 years of age, very strong and likely for a man of his age. He was seen in the neighborhood of this place some time after he absented himself, but from his connections I have reason to suppose that he may be lurking about, or concealed by those connections in the counties of Powhatan or Cumberland. I will give the above reward if he is brought to me in this place, or ten dollars if secured in a jail so that I may get him. Arch'd. Freeland. Manchester, March 16, 1805.  BROKER'S OFFICE.
THE SUBSCRIBER HAS  Opened a Broker's Office, Opposite the Union Tavern, and over the Counting-house of Thomas and Amos Ladd. All business confided to him will be transacted with strict fidelity.  THOM. NORVELL. Richmond, October 3, 1804. (tf)  Forty Dollars Reward.
RUN away from the subscriber living in Granville county, North Carolina, in March last, two bright mulatto fellows; one by the name of BARTLEY, about 35 years of age, he has but little to say, and appears to be very humble; he is a tolerable good Shoemaker and Cooper, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, and he is a well set negro. GEORGE is about 23 years of age, about 6 feet high, spare made, has a very active negro, fond of drink, and a very forward fancy fellow. I expect they have obtained free passes and will endeavor to pass for free negroes; it is probable they are lurking about Manchester, Richmond or Petersburg; they were seen in Manchester a few days past.

Skipwith's manufacturing mills, and five from Maj. Munford's, where the river is navigable to boats. This land is well adapted to the culture of corn, wheat and tobacco, and in good order for cropping, with every necessary out house thereon, for the reception of a family—a good apple orchard, excellent water, and a healthy, agreeable neighborhood—a sufficient quantity of the land is cleared to work from ten to fifteen hands.

VALUABLE COAL LANDS,  TO BE LET UPON A LEASE FOR YEARS.  THE Coal Lands at Dover, in the county of Goochland, joining Dr. John Adams's coal pits and Mr. Graham's, belonging to the subscribers. The situation is uncommonly advantageous for coal works. The distance from the Manakin town ferry on James river, about 300 yards—the slope so advantageous as to render it extremely easy to construct waggon ways for transporting the coals to the river at little or no expense. There is a very fine landing on the river bank, belonging to the estate, for depositing the coals, from whence they can be conveyed into the boats by a wooden trunk, with great expedition and ease. The situation is such as to enable the coal master to carry on the works for many years without interruption from subterraneous water so troublesome and expensive at coal pits. The body of coal is considered very abundant, and not in the smallest degree exhausted, as there has been only one small shaft made on the edge of the land, and works so far as to prove the excellent quality of the coals and the ease with which they may be raised. We will attach to the colliery a SMA - L FARM, if required, within one mile, with useful improvements. For further information apply to the subscribers at the city of Richmond. David Ross.
