"'Tis Immortality—'tis that alone Amidst life's pains, abasements, emptiness, The Soul can comfort, elevate and fill." Young.
By LINDLEY MURRAY.
From the thirteenth English edition, enlarged and improved by the Author. Price handsomely bound and lettered, 1 dollar.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of this diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commenced, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803.

of her dependencies; and Great Britain, finding that the American people were so humble and mean-spirited as to submit to this mandate, enacts a retaliatory prohibition upon our commerce with the French dominions. By these two acts, the maritime rights of America have been destroyed, and it has become a question with our national legislature, whether they will abandon the ocean, and relinquish the benefits of commerce, or maintain the independence of the nation. In this state of things what by Congress done? By a solemn and deliberate act of one branch of the legislature, which we cannot entertain a hope will be rejected by the other, a law has been passed carrying into full and complete execution the "unrighteous edicts" of the belligerents. In one breath congress has solemnly pledged itself to the world that the United States would not submit to the degradation and outrage offered by the unjust powers of Europe, and in the next they tacitly acquiesce in the justice of foreign restrictions upon our commerce, by giving an effectual operation to their decrees and orders—and withdrawing entirely from the ocean—is not this impliedly recognizing the right of the belligerents to deny us the free navigation of the high seas? Is it not submission of the most degrading and slavish character? But it will be said, that in return for abandoning the right to traverse the ocean, we have adopted the impartial & magnanimous measure of "excluding from our ports and waters all vessels either armed or unarmed, belonging to France or England." Is this the manner in which the pledge of resistance is to be performed? Or will it operate at all as a retaliation upon the injuries which the party in power have been compelled reluctantly to admit, we have sustained at the hands of France? It cannot be denied that the whole force and vengeance of this non-intercourse with the belligerents is exclusively directed against England. What "armed or unarmed" vessels of France will come under the operation of this law? Comparatively speaking, she has neither. With the exception of a few French vessels which have been permitted by government to carry cargoes of provisions to relieve their colonies, no trade whatever has been carried on with this country in French bottoms. The immense naval force of England, which is spread over every sea, has swept from the ocean almost every national or commercial vessel of France. Under such circumstances, when it is well known that there exists tenfold the cause of complaint against France, we seriously apprehend that Great Britain will conceive herself particularly aggrieved by the operation of this partial measure, and that a rupture may be the consequence. As to France, we have no doubt in our minds (unless there be a complete understanding between Mr. Jefferson & Napoleon) however such an issue would be deprecated by our rulers, that should Bonaparte feel himself in the least pinched or incommoded by a non-intercourse , he will instantly declare war in a more formal manner , against this country.... Taking his own rule for our guide, war in fact exists, at this time, between France and America , and a war too of the most unprofitable kind, in which there has been no retaliation on the part of our government. But we are done with a subject which "our heads and hearts are sick of contemplating." Let what come may, we trust we shall meet the crisis with as much firmness and composure as any of our countrymen. [Bal. Fed. Republican.]
Capt. Ockington, arrived at Boston, late commander of the ship Belle Savage, of that town, which sailed from thence more than a year past, for the N. W. Coast, arrived in town yesterday. He reports, that he was taken on the Spanish coast by a Spanish privateer, and sent into Lima, where his vessel and cargo were condemned, on the sole reason of her being found within 15 leagues of the coast; himself and people set at liberty. We are sorry to announce the death of Mr. George Hicks, a son of Mr. Zachariah Hicks, of this town, who went out in the above vessel. He was an active and enterprising young gentleman. Also, Mr. William Blake, first officer of the Belle Savage; they both died on their passage from Carthagena for the Havanna, Mr. B. on the 17th Oct. and Mr. H. on the 23d.
It is reported that some English people have endeavored to carry off some flour by force from the eastern lines—that one person has been killed—and that the aggressors are secured, and will be tried at Castine.—This is an unhappy affair; but the taking of the culprits must afford some satisfaction.
It is not exactly a case which should be headed "British outrage and murder"—for that implies the act was done by order of government, which nobody believes.
Extract of a letter dated Liverpool, 26th September, 1808.
"Our market for grain has been heavy the last week, and prices at a full reduction of 6d to 1s per bushel. Cotton has also been dull and very little doing. At the commencement of the week a report was in circulation that France had declared war against America, and expected to raise the embargo: to this some credit was attached at the moment, though since considered as unfounded; it, however, had such an effect upon some of the speculators, that they attempted sales at a reduction of full 2d per lb. and some of them were successful, but to a small extent, and even at a loss; they now appear steadier, but it has given a check to speculation while the trade hold back.—The Brazil fleet only brings about 5000 bags to the whole kingdom, of which a small proportion has reached this town, and the whole is far short of expectation. It is not improbable that by the first week in next month the consumers will be compelled to come into the market, and something be done. It is reported that large speculations have been made in London at advanced prices."
"The shameful conditions of capitulation granted to the French troops in Portugal have thrown a general damp here."
"P. S. We have not heard of a single enquiry for cotton to-day, but the holders are so far tolerably steady."
Translated for the National Intelligencer from the Havanna Aurora.
HAVANNA, Nov. 14, 1808.
By the pilot boat New Undertaker, capt. don Pablo Ferrit, which arrived at the Matanzas on the 8th inst. after a passage of 35 days from St. Lucar de Barrameda, was received the agreeable intelligence of the installation of the Supreme Governing Central Council of the kingdoms of Spain, which took place on the 25th September, 1808, at the Royal seat of Arranjuez, as will be seen from the following statement:
"In consequence of the agreement of yesterday the 24th inst. in a preparatory conference, by which it was resolved that to-day at half after nine o'clock in the morning the Supreme and governing council of the kingdoms, should be installed for which purpose all the deputies present at the royal sitio, (who are more than two thirds of those who are to compose the council of the government) were cited to attend—the ceremony was performed in the following manner."
"The deputies met in the vestry of the chapel of the palace of the royal sitio, and being formed moved out and placed themselves on benches which had been arranged for the purpose, they heard mass, which was said by the archbishop of Laodicea, co-administrator of the archbishopric of Seville and deputy from that kingdom, and the said prelate having first taken the following oath himself, administered it to all the deputies in rotation: 'Thou swearest to God and on his holy Evangelists, and to Jesus Christ, who was crucified, whose sacred image thou hast present, that in your station and employment as member of the supreme and governing council of the kingdom; you will defend and promote the increase of our Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Religion, the defence of and fidelity to our august sovereign Ferdinand VII. that of his rights and sovereignty, the preservation of our rights, privileges, laws and customs, and especially those of the succession in the reigning family, and the other things pointed out in the said laws, and finally all which may conduce to the prosperity and happiness of these kingdoms and improve their customs; remaining silent as to what is to be secret and keeping off from it all injury and following up its enemies at the expence of your life, health and property? Yes, I swear' 'If thou doest it God help thee; and if not, I ask his maledictions on thee as on him who takes his holy name in vain. Amen.'
"During this time a solemn Te Deum was sung by the bare-footed friars of San Pasqual of this Sitio; and this act being finished, the deputies passed along before the gallant battalion of light troops of Valencia, which was formed in two lines from the door of the chapel to the stair case of the Royal Palace, and went to one of the principal apartments destined at present for them to sit in."
"In the multitude of people of all classes and conditions which filled the avenue, there was discovered the greatest interest and enthusiasm in favor of their king and lord, Ferdinand the 7th, whose name resounded from all parts, as also that of the supreme council, which had just sworn before God and man, and at the cost of their lives, the restoration to the throne of a king so much wished for, and the preservation of our holy religion, that of our laws, usages, and customs. The opening of the doors of the
royal palace so long shut up—the melancholy solitude of the august habitation of our kings, and a recollection of the time and of the cause for which they were shut, drew tears from all present, even the most firm. These circumstances made the ceremony the more touching and interesting, and at the same time more useful in exciting vengeance against the authors of so many evils, and a just confidence in subjects who, after having suffered so many dangers in so just a cause, yet present themselves to meet as many more as may be necessary to carry that cause to a happy issue. Such is without doubt what we ought to expect from a union and fraternity so intimate as that which all the kingdoms reunited promise."
"The enthusiasm and interest increased on the deputies going out into the grand gallery of the principal front of the palace, from which their president ad interim, his excellency the count of Florida Blanca, proclaimed anew our much wished for king, Ferdinand: the people followed, and often times repeated their warm acclamations, and the tenderness which they felt for a body who had to fulfil such great hopes so much the better founded as they had performed the most solemn act which the nation had yet witnessed, with the most majestic simplicity."
"The deputies being seated by their respective places the president having pronounced a short and appropriate discourse, the council was declared legally formed, without prejudice to those who were absent, who according to the agreement of yesterday, were to compose the council of the government during the absence of our king and lord, Ferdinand the 7th, and it was directed that a certificate of this act should be made out and be sent to the president of the council and of the tribunal and the other correspondent arrangements made, until the ulterior orders that might be necessary should be communicated to them."
"Done at the Royal Palace of Arranjuez, the 25th Sept. 1808."
"MARTIN DE CARAY, "Sec. Gen. ad interim."
NOTE.—The Deputies of Aragon, Asturias, Old Castile, Catalonia, Cordova, Estremadura, Grenada, Jaen, Majorca, and the Balarian Isles, Murcia, Seville, Toledo, and Valencia were present.
RURAL CHARMS.
"Who can behold such beauty and be silent?" From scenes of mercenary intrigue, and political clamor, I frequently pay a visit to the pastoral retreat of tranquil felicity, and contrast the confusion of a seaport with the sweet enjoyment of peace in the country, where smiling plenty rewards the industrious farmer, and cheerful amusements brighten the aspect of the contented villager.—Free from care, at evening all retire to pass the time as circumstances may invite. The rustic circle, with enlivened chat, announces the accomplished feat, whilst hoary age sanctions the sport with a smile of approbation.
Each swain selects his favorite lass, and joins in the maze dance, or rambles in the smiling fields, illuminated by the silver beams of Cynthia's light, whose partial gleam through the thickest grove plays on the meandering rivulet, and gives a romantic appearance to the scene. These are the joys of happy humble life. May propitious heaven ever bless those scenes, where artless simplicity charms the soul, frees the mind from the rude blasts of capricious avarice, and lulls all care to rest.
RENOVATION OF SIGHT.
Lately died in the village of Aberceldie, Petershire, Margaret Robinson, at the advanced age of 96 years. The history of this woman, in regard to the recovery of her sight, is somewhat remarkable, and is not unworthy of record, not merely as declaratory of the fact itself, but also as holding out strong hopes to those, who are, or may be, unhappily placed in a similar situation, of recovering this inestimable blessing—sight. About the period that woman, who was a farmer's wife, attained the age of 63 she became blind, not suddenly, totally, by any particular cause, but by gradual decay of sight. In this state she remained for 15 years.—In the 78th year she recovered her sight so well, that she was able to thread a needle, and to read her bible by the assistance of glasses. In the course of the next year she found it so strong, and so clear that she laid aside her glasses altogether. From her 79th year to the 87th year of her life, she enjoyed her sight with as much clearness as she did at any period of her life; it then began to fail again, but was not totally lost till her eyes were closed in death. It is remarkable that she retained all her other faculties, with undiminished vigor, to the last.—London paper.

Valuable Family Medicines.
The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by
James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria.
Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 86 Maiden lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of poisonous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY , No. 145, Cherry street, New York.

The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN , whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and the warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.

Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
