THE TABLET...No. IV.
We offered a kind of apology in our introductory number for the careless manner in which we expected to compose the Tablet. Knowing that we could not find leisure to polish our style, we so informed the public. The case however was different as it respected the subjects we had contemplated to pass under examination. These being familiarized to our mind could neither be intrinsically improved by style, nor injured by haste. To the matter therefore alone we solicited attention.
Some persons it is understood, have been offended by our preliminary number. We certainly did not intend to court public favor by insidious flattery. There are among us and we are proud to acknowledge it, painters, poets, essayists, historians, lawyers, and divines; but although we can shew specimens far from indifferent, in each of their walks, yet it will become us better for the present, to be modest than boastful. Vanity will overset the soundest judgment. The time is we hope approaching, when we shall sing down Pope in poetry; silence the essay of Addison in prose; and turn Swift into ridicule by our wit; when the historians Robinson and Gibbon shall yield to American names of greater potency and merit; when our bar shall be without a parallel; and our pulpits filled with Massalons, Bourdalous, Tillotsons, Clarks, Bulers, Fosters and Blairs. This moment we have said is approaching, in the mean time let us appear diffident, study the best models, and endeavor to excel them.
Our next number, we have learned, gave no less umbrage, to a few worthy patriots, who think it laudable to load the government and people of England with every epithet of contempt and abuse. Let us call to mind, that abuse is almost always an evidence of inferiority or disappointment.
In our second number on the article of fortifications, we have been much too brief, and have been much condemned on this account. The subject deserved and called for a more ample discussion, than it obtained. As it stands, we acknowledge it is scarcely an outline. We hope, however, on some future occasion, to do it more justice; and to shew, 1st, that there are none of our maritime cities, which cannot be rendered, by means of fortifications, impregnable to ships of war. 2d, that general Washington, from a full conviction that they could be so defended, bottomed on the report of able engineers, had a system of fortifications proposed, and conformable thereto, had some of the works begun under his presidency. 3d, that Mr. Adams, acting under a similar conviction, and impressed with the necessity of the measure, forwarded the works recommended by Washington. 4th, that Mr. Jefferson, tho' he happened once slightly and incidentally to mention the subject to congress, has suffered the defences, erected by his predecessors, to fall into decay, while his friends in and out of congress, have set the whole system of fortifications at nought, and endeavored, by sounding in the ears of the people, the magnitude of the expense which would attend its completion, to deter them from wishing for its further prosecution. 5th, that if the system of fortifications which has been commenced, shall be completed, our cities, notwithstanding our gun boats, may be destroyed by a few ships of war, and more property taken from one of them than would completely fortify the whole.
In our third number we have shewn, that our rulers appear to concern themselves as little about the discipline of our militia as about the fortifying our harbors; and even to entertain a repugnance to preserve to our little army that military spirit which it may still be supposed to possess. Here we might have dwelt on the prospect before us, when with the arms of reason only, we shall keep invasion far from our shores, and slumber away whole ages in peace and tranquility. This number, we are pleased to find, has attracted some regard.
We are sorry that we cannot pursue these and other subjects according to our original design. Let, however, the considerate democrat ponder on what has been said. Our situation is full of peril, and pregnant with mischief. Look at the people; divided into two bodies, and all social intercourse between them prevented, as far as it is possible, by the misrepresentations and calumnies of the leaders of the prevailing party; the leaders of the prevailing party further disturbing the public tranqui-
lity, by an open and audacious struggle for place and power; and place and power bestowed by the people upon those who shew the greatest skill in the arts of flattery, and the greatest talents in repealing laws and razing to the foundation every vestige of our greatness and glory.
Are the persons who have brought about this state of things intitled to our confidence?
Are the persons who have left our marine to rot intitled to our confidence?
Are the persons who will not suffer a sea-port to be fortified intitled to our confidence?
Are the persons who will take no pains to have the militia put in a course of preparation to defend our country intitled to our confidence?
Are the persons who have formed distinctions and planted enmity between citizens and citizens intitled to our confidence?
Are the persons who hold a manly language in public and a dastardly one in private, the latter only to be conformed to by their partisans, intitled to our confidence?
Are the persons who estimate their offices higher than all other considerations intitled to our confidence?
Alas! It is painfully evident that our republican institutions, our legal institutions, our moral habits, our political principles, our general government, our state governments, have undergone, and are undergoing, the most radical changes. Nothing now is permanent. Every thing manly, moral, religious and political, has been thrown into a state of fermentation. "Death is in the pot;" and the U. S. like a huge stone torn from the summit of the Alps, is rolling down the steep of democracy, to the recipient of all former republics, the long, the dreary and dismal valley of despotism.
There are democrats who are not without their apprehensions on this head, who will yet pretend to see no danger. There are good men who exclaim, this state of things cannot last, that when things have got to the worst, they will mend. We also say, this state of things cannot be permanent; but if good men, no matter of what party, will not exert themselves to stay the progress of the evils now prevalent, this state of things will not mend, but must assuredly get worse. How was it in the Grecian republics, the Roman republic, and in the French republic? Did not things, in all these, after the reign of demagogues commenced, go on from bad to worse? What is to prevent things from taking the same course in our American republics?
Will the people reject all experience, past and present? "I do acknowledge (says John Horne Tooke) that both in the outset and progress of the French revolution, I was guilty of two most egregious blunders; by attributing a much greater portion of virtue to individuals, and understanding to the generality, than any experience of mankind can justify."
Such was the conviction of an English democrat; but our democrats are much wiser than Horne Tooke. Here, in the U. States, the generality assign all virtue to a few individuals, and a few individuals all understanding to the generality.
We have said that a secret influence seems to pervade our public affairs; examine our laws, it will be found amongst them: But where will it not be found? In every quarter where elections are held this monster becomes active. Tho' like the pesuence, it traverses whole districts without being seen, yet we easily trace its course by the ravages it occasions: Certain newspapers have for some time been preparing the public mind for its visible appearance among us. Should their prediction be realized, or should a certain warrior unfurl his standard in St. Petersburg, the monster will be heard to roar across the Atlantic, and be seen in all his terrors at the capitol.
But it is time to terminate this paper and take leave of the public. Our intention was, when we commenced the Tablet, to have devoted to it a few hours in every week, that the people might behold a genuine picture of their demagogues, and the actual situation of the country. Imperious calls oblige us to leave the work unfinished. Possibly the task may hereafter be resumed, should we be informed that these hasty sketches have proved acceptable to the thoughtful and considerate.
We beg those gentlemen who have stripped our country of its defences, and arrayed one half of the people against the other, to "accept our salutations, and the homage of our high consideration and esteem."
Mount Clear. * Diversions of Purley, p. 18, Lon. Edition.
CONSTANTINOPLE, January 12. Although the grand vizier several days ago received the sword and pelisse (distinctive marks of command) he has not yet quitted the capital. He appears to have delayed only until the designation of a Caimacan, or substitute. His highness will be accompanied to the army, according to custom, by the reis effendi and kaja bey; the persons intended to supply their places during their absence, are already known.
Immediately after the divan resolved to declare war against Russia, the grand seignior addressed to the grand vizier, the 27th December, an imperial rescript, usual in those cases, acquainting him with his nomination to the chief military command, and the motives which induced a declaration of war. The following is the substance of it:
The Grand Seignior to the Grand Vizier.
You are my most sage vizier and absolute first minister! May Providence and the Grace Divine, necessary to man in all circumstances, and the aid, and the assistance of the Prophet of God, be always with you! It has been represented to the council general, recently held in the presence of all the viziers, ulemahs and chiefs of the corps of janissaries, that the infidel Russians have suddenly broken their treaty with us, seizing the fortresses of Bender and Choczim, which were destitute of defence, thence making known that their black perfidy, cherished of old, and manifested on different occasions, against the Musselman nation, has never ceased to exist. The law and the resolution taken by the council, render it indispensable to act hostile against those infidels, which is approved by general consent and applause, so that after having implored the assistance of the all powerful God, who made us out of nothing, and the protection of the prophet Mahomet, the object of our glory and institutor of our law, I have taken the formal resolution of declaring war against the Russians, confiding only in the divine Providence and Grace. Every one knows the ancient hatred the Russians bear Musselmans. The act of perfidy and treason, just committed, renders it necessary that all military and other individuals, attached to the Musselman faith, take part in this sacred war; and as measures have already been taken to march my imperial army, with all possible alacrity, under the glorious banner of Sangiak Scherif (standard of Mahomet) I name you generalissimo absolute. Under these circumstances you will rely in your operations upon the aid of Providence and the all powerful God; and I place in his divine hands the care of your person, the viziers, ulemahs, janissaries of all grades, and in short all the faithful warriors who are with you in this holy war.
My glorious ancestors, sustained by the ardent zeal of their viziers, ministers, janissaries and other soldiers, and the energy with which they opposed the enemy, formerly conquered those provinces, and maintained possession of them. It now belongs to you to employ the same activity. I expect your devotedness and diligence; that you will forthwith supply the necessary succors of men and ammunition to our Mahometan brethren in the vicinity of those already taken by the infidels; and that you will provide the means of fortifying the strong places, and preserving my subjects from all oppression. As to ammunition & other necessaries for the army, you will concert for them with the chiefs of the department: you will employ every moment, by day and by night, to accelerate their expedition, as well as the departure of the vizier, janissaries, and others attached to my imperial army; in short, you will be equally anxious, in quality of minister absolute, to provide for the equipment of the fleet, men as well as ammunition; you will be careful suitably to recompense those who shall distinguish themselves; and to punish those who shall neglect to fulfil their duty. May God preserve you sound and safe in all your undertakings!
From the Imperial Camp at Warsaw, January 29, 1807.
The Senate were to meet on the 17th of February, and the following is the address of the emperor:
SENATORS, We have ordered our minister of foreign affairs to communicate the treaties we have made with the king of Saxony, and with the different sovereign princes of that ancient house. The Saxon nation lost its independence on the 14th October, 1756. It recovered it on the 14th Oct. 1806: After 50 years, Saxony, made free by the treaty of Posen, ceases to be a province of Prussia. The duke of Saxe Wei-
mar, without any previous declaration, has embraced the cause of our enemies. His fate ought to serve as an example to all the weaker princes who without being connected by fundamental laws, enter into the quarrels of great nations, but we have yielded to the desire to see our reconciliation with the house of Saxony complete without interruption. The prince of Saxe Coburg is dead. His son being found in the camp of our enemies, we have sequestered the principality.
We have also ordered that the report of our minister for foreign affairs, upon the daggers of the Ottoman Porte, should be put before your eyes, a witness, that, from our early youth, in all the evils war has produced, our happiness, our glory, our ambition, have been placed in conquest and labors for peace. But the nature of our present circumstances demands our first concern. Fifteen years of victory have failed to give to France an equivalent for the partition of Poland, which a single campaign in 1773 might have obtained. Ah! who can calculate the duration of the wars, the number of the campaigns which must be endured at some future day to repair the evils which may result from the loss of the empire of Constantinople, if a love of unseasonable repose, and of the pleasures of the city, should prevail against the wise counsels which provide against future evils? We shall leave to our posterity an inheritance of wars and calamities. The Greek Fiara, raised in triumph from the Baltic to the Mediterranean will shew us, even in our own days, our provinces attacked by a cloud of fanatics and barbarians, and if in this struggle, found to be too late, civilized Europe should perish, our guilty indifference will excite the just complaints of posterity, and will be a name of disgrace in history. The emperor of Persia, vexed in his dependent states, as Poland was for 60 years, and Turkey has been for 20 years, by the policy of the cabinet of Petersburg, is animated by the same sentiments as the Porte, has taken the same resolutions, and is marching in person upon the Caucasus to defend his frontiers.
But already has the ambition of our enemies been confounded; their army has been defeated at Pultusk and Golymin, and their disheartened battalions fly at the sight of our eagles. In such circumstances, peace, to be rendered sure, ought to secure the independence of these two great empires. And if by the unbounded ambition and injustice of our enemies, war must still continue, our people will continue to discover themselves worthy by their energy, and their love to our person, of the high destiny which will crown all our labors, and then only can a stable and long continued peace yield for our people, after these days of glory, times of peace and happiness.
NAPOLEON.
AWFUL EXPLOSION.
[The following account of a most awful explosion of gun-powder, on board a vessel in the Rapenburg canal, at Leyden, in Holland, is copied from a late English paper.]
Scheedam, Jan. 13.
Last night, about five o'clock, the inhabitants of this city were alarmed by a most violent concussion, proceeding, as it was thought, from the north west. The windows of several houses here were forced open by the shock. At first it was supposed that the powder magazine at Delft had blown up; but, after the lapse of a few hours, it appeared that all was tranquil in that city. To-day we learn, with horror and astonishment, that the most magnificent part of Leyden was the scene of this terrible explosion. It seems that a vessel laden with 10,000 lbs. weight of gun-powder from Amsterdam, destined for Delft, and then lying in the Rapenburg canal there, by some means took fire, and instantly blew up, destroying all the houses in the vicinity of the canal, and occasioning the premature death of some hundreds of the inhabitants. When this account was written, the flames were said to be still raging. Of 60 children in a boarding school, five or six only are said to have been saved, but scorched dreadfully. Some say that the university is near destroyed, and that the Jewish Synagogue is reduced to ashes. Of the vessel on board of which were the owner's two sons and a servant, not an atom is visible.

It is our melancholy task again to advert to the dismal catastrophe which occurred at Leyden, on Monday the 12th instant, and to confess that no pen can exaggerate the horrors of that mournful scene. We are credibly informed, by eye witnesses, that scarcely a single house or building has

Thirty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber in August last, a negro woman named Tabb; she is about 35 years of age, of the common size, of a yellowish complexion, long face, high cheek bones, and her eyes sunk in—she understands every kind of house work, washing, nursing, &c. In the latter capacity she has been passing herself in Alexandria, and has said by my authority. There are various circumstances which lead me to believe she has been and is now secreted by her husband Jerry (the property of Joseph Mandeville, junior). He is hired to his father John Mandeville, as a laborer and sometimes drives a cart on the streets. Twenty Dollars will be paid if taken in the district, and the above reward if taken above 10 miles without, provided that she is so secured that I get her again.
All persons are cautioned against harboring or employing said negro, in any capacity whatever. H. ROSE.

was undertaken from North America, without any participation of the U. States; and was at first but dubiously encouraged by the British commanders in the West Indies. Its operations hitherto have been unprosperous; and the hope of final success appears to have been nearly abandoned.
Among domestic events, the impeachment of lord Melville by the house of commons, and his acquittal by the lords of all the charges brought against him, were topics of public conversation during the earlier part of the year.
The Cape of Good Hope had not been long in the British possession before its enterprising conquerors planned an expedition against the Spanish settlement of Buenos Ayres. Sir Home Popham and general Beresford arrived in the river de la Plata in June, and after a defeat of the Spanish troops in the beginning of July, the town was surrendered. Its port was immediately opened for the reception of British merchandise, and the demand has given activity to several branches of manufacture, which were before in a languid state.
The constitution which had been imposed on Holland under the dictatorial influence of France not fully answering the purposes of that court, it was changed in June to a mixed monarchy, of which Louis Bonaparte was proclaimed the head, with the hitherto unknown title in Europe of "king of Holland." Thus Napoleon in one half year, almost without contest, raised two of his brothers to the throne!
In July, a signal triumph occurred to the British army in Calabria under the command of General Stuart by a victory over the French commanded by general Regnier at Maida, near the gulph of St. Euphemia. British valor has seldom been more conspicuously displayed; but independently of the glory of such a display, the consequences were of little advantage. It operated indeed to the injury of the Calabrese, who were excited by it to an insurrection against the French dominion, in which the English force was insufficient to give them effectual aid. The British troops have since been withdrawn to Sicily, with the exception of the garrisons of two or three fortresses; & the country has been abandoned to an enraged enemy.

NEW YORK, April 24.
Arrived at this port last night the ship Palourous, captain Merrihew, after a very short passage from Plymouth, England. Captain M. has favored the editors of the New York Gazette with London papers of the 23d ult. From a hasty perusal do not appear to contain any News of importance. Nothing later from the continent. The new administration of Great Britain had not yet been finally settled; but it was believed that the list published in this paper of Monday last would be agreed on. The duke of Portland, who had accepted the office of first lord of the treasury, intimated to the king, that on or before Wednesday the 25th, he would be able to submit to his majesty, the new arrangement he was directed to form. A dissolution of parliament, it was supposed would be the unavoidable consequence of this measure.
A French squadron of 3 sail of the line and a frigate, had escaped out of Brest—it was said they were bound to America, to relieve the two ships blockaded there.
By the ship Eliza, captain Smith, in 29 days from Bordeaux, we have received some newspapers from France, containing accounts from the armies several days later than those via England per the George and Gold Hunter—But we find no news in them—no exultation on account of French victories over the Russians. This circumstance is a proof that the French army has at least been "worsted."
We have two additional Bulletins, which are quite uninteresting.
The 64th Bulletin is dated Ostorode, 2d March. It states that the wounded on the part of the French amounting to 5000 have been transported from the field of battle to Thorn, and to their hospitals on the left bank of the Vistula. That more than 9000 slain on both sides, and near 5000 horses, beside an immense quantity of military equipage, were left on the field within the compass of a square league.

narrowly escaped by the collision of two walls which supported the beams and roof; two, however, were crushed to death, and a third died shortly afterwards in its father's arms. Those who were saved rushed into the court-yard, where they were shortly afterwards joined by their eager but trembling parents, and there ensued a scene of tenderness which may be imagined, but cannot be described.
We conceive that to many of our readers it will be gratifying, not only to have the news of the day presented to them, but to have, from time to time, such general historical sketches of the most prominent events of the times, as tend to familiarise the mind with the great changes which are taking place among nations. With this view we think it not unreasonable to transfer into our columns, a concise but comprehensive retrospect of the last year, from that promising publication "The Athenaeum." It is contained in the first number, for January 1807. (Boston Rep.)
Retrospect of Public Affairs in 1806. From AIKIN'S Athenaeum.
The events of the year which has just terminated, are in general a continuation of that progress of successful ambition, which has so long thrown Europe into a revolutionary state, and overwhelmed it with disasters and changes of which no limit or conclusion can as yet be foreseen.
The treaty of Presburg between France and Austria, signed at the close of 1805 had left the French emperor and his allies triumphant in the south of Germany and the north of Italy, and dissolved the grand confederacy which had worn so formidable an aspect. The emperor of Russia returned to his own country, not pacified, but disabled from further action; and the British troops which had landed in the north of Germany were glad to re-embark unmolested. The gloom with which the new year opened upon Great Britain was augmented in the general opinion by the illness of Mr. Pitt, which terminated in his death on January 23d. This event was followed by the formation of a new ministry, composed of a part of those who had been in office previously to Mr. Addington's administration, and the leaders of the old opposition, headed by Mr. Fox. The union of talents which were now called into exertion, inspired hopes of either a more efficacious prosecution of the war, or of well-conducted negotiations for peace.
The beginning of the year was signalized by an important success to the British arms in the capture of the settlement of the Cape of Good Hope by sir Home Popham and gen. Baird.
In the month of February the French emperor put in execution his threats against the king of Naples, by an invasion of the Neapolitan territory, of which no part resisted his arms except the citadel of Gaeta, and the remote districts of Calabria. The king retired to Sicily under the protection of a British force. His Neapolitan crown was transferred by the victor to Joseph Bonaparte, who took quiet possession of the capital.
In the same month a brilliant naval action took place in the West Indies, where admiral Duckworth captured three French ships of the line, and destroyed two, off St. Domingo.
In March the budget was brought forward, and a heavy loan of 18 millions for Great Britain and two millions for Ireland, was negotiated upon favorable terms for the public. Among other modes of raising the supplies, the property tax was augmented to ten per cent.
The occupation of Hanover in his own name by the king of Prussia, and the exclusion of the British shipping from his ports on the German ocean, were regarded as acts of hostility which justified the recall of the English minister from Berlin, and the detention of all Prussian ships. Sweden was at the same time at variance with Prussia, and acted as an ally of G Britain; whilst Prussia seemed to be entirely devoted to the interests of France.
During the session of parliament Mr. Windham brought in his bill for the regulation of the land forces, of which the leading features were altering the term of enlistment into the regulars from an unlimited to a limited period, and putting the volunteers upon the footing of serving without pay. This discouragement, and the diminished fears of invasion, naturally affected the spirit of volunteering, which by nearly dormant during the course of this year.
An expedition of the revolutionary general Miranda against the Spanish dominions of South America, began to excite considerable interest early in this year. It
escaped without damage; and that on the Rappenburg, where the deplorable event occurred, the houses, to a large extent, are levelled with the ground. At the awful moment, many families were sitting at dinner with their friends, and thus precipitated into eternity; fathers, mothers, children, servants, all were rapidly hurried to one promiscuous grave. Husbands have lost their consorts and their offspring and wives their husbands and their sires. Of the number of the dead, various conjectures have been formed; many respectable persons have been dug out, and others are known to lie still in the ruins. Among the dead are several of the most respectable families in the city, and many strangers then on visits. Property to a large amount has been lost, great part of which irrecoverably; and many of the necessaries of life spoilt by the showers of broken glass which filled the shops and apartments.
The king on learning the accident, instantly repaired thither in person, after having ordered the guards and fire engines to follow. He remained the whole night in the streets, not without shedding tears of commiseration, and assisting in person to recover and release those who had lay buried in the ruins and encouraged others by rewards to exert themselves in the glorious work of humanity. Provisions, money, artificers, every thing has been sent from the Hague and other cities to comfort and relieve the wretched sufferers. A few have had wonderful escapes; while others on the point of being rescued, while promising rewards for their deliverers, were crushed to death by the sudden falling of beams imperceptibly resting on or withheld by obstacles which had been removed. Close to the vessel which blew up a yacht, on board of which were from 15 to 20 persons, not a vestage of whom was to be found. The cause of this dreadful catastrophe no one can either ascertain or conjecture. The quantity of powder on board is estimated at about forty thousand pounds weight* which was fatally and unaccountably confided to the care of two young men, brothers and a servant man.
Two Professors of the University are stated to have been killed, and several other persons in that celebrated Seminary. It being fortunately vacation, great numbers of the students were absent; and those who were present are said to have escaped.
The king with that peculiar goodness which characterises him, repaired for the second time to Leyden on Friday last; visited the wounded and maimed ascended the ruins, mixed with the laborers there, and encouraged them to persevere in their unwearied diligence. On receiving the thanks of the magistrates and clergy he returned them the most amicable answer, asked after individual losses, and left them with these words: "The dead I cannot restore to you; that is above human power; but all that I can I will do for you city." His majesty made an offer of the palace in the wood to such respectable persons as had been deprived of their habitations, or which were rendered uninhabitable; an offer which has likewise been accepted with gratitude.
His majesty has empowered the magistrates of this unfortunate city to make a general collection throughout the whole kingdom; and ordered that 100,000 guilders, out of the treasury, to be left to the disposition of the minister of the Home Department, for relieving the most pressing necessities of the poor, and those who have lost their all.
Several persons have been taken out alive from under the ruins; but some expired almost immediately afterwards. Great numbers still lie buried, the rubbish forming such vast heaps, that a considerable time will be required to clear them.
After the explosion, which was awful in the extreme, several fires broke out by the scattering of the lighted turf and coal in the hearths; and this calamity unfortunately drew off, for a while, the attention of the citizens to their suffering fellow-creatures, pining and lamenting beneath the ruins of their habitations, but shortly before the seat of hilarity and of social intercourse.
A Jewish school suffered considerably: sixteen children in it are said to have lost their lives. A charity school near it met the same fate. Dead bodies of children near the spot are discovered from time to time. Fifty children at a boarding school
* This is probably an error as all the accounts received state that the quantity was 10,000.

PROOF, Of the good effects of Lee and Son's Genuine Medicine, shewn by the following cases of cures:  Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges. This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby pre- vent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:  Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days. JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head- aches, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozen- ges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hun- dreds of them was alive for some time after. JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street. Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.  Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, Having observed in the newspaper an adver- tisement of yours describing the good quali- ties of your Worm Lozenges, induced me to call at the store of Warner and Hanna, and to make a trial of some of them on a female child of my friend's, who was in my care, which, from her symptoms of disease, viz. sickness, a picking at the nose, offensive breath, and o- ther like circumstances, authorised myself and Mrs. McCormick to determine that worms was the complaint; accordingly a few days since, I made a trial of the medicine, agree- able to the directions, and I am happy to say, that on the third day, afterwards the child e- vacuated large worms, and other offensive matter, such as to me was astonishing that a- ny human being could have contained—part- icularly at so early an age as one year and a half old. For the good of society I have much pleasure in mentioning the case, and to ob- serve that the child is now perfectly well, and assumes a healthy appearance. Any other information I shall give with pleasure on ap- plication to me, at my house in Frederick- street, near Messrs. Van Wyck and Dorsey's auction room. WILLIAM MCCORMICK. Baltimore, Jan. 31, 1807.

United States Court, fifth Circuit and Virginia District. NOVEMBER TERM, 1806. John Miller, assignee of Josiah Watson, plaintiff—against Bird, Savage and Bird, James Watson, John Watson, jun. James Taylor and Richard M. Scott, defendants. THIS cause was this day heard on the bill, and answers, replications thereto, exhibits, and the proceedings in the suit lately depend- ing in this court, between Robert Bird, assign- ee of Josiah Watson and John Love, and was argu- ed by counsel. On consideration whereof the court not now deciding on the respective claims of the parties to the lands in the pro- ceedings mentioned, doth adjudge, order and decree, that the marshal of this district, or one of his lawful deputies, (after having ver- tified the time and place of such sale in five weeks successively in one or more news- papers printed in the town of Alexandria and city of Washington) do expose to sale, at public auction, the tract of land in the pro- ceedings mentioned, called Buckland , either altogether or in parcels as the parties may a- gree; or in case of their disagreement, in the way he may think will most enhance the price thereof, upon the following terms, to wit— One-fifth part of the purchase money agreed to be paid therefor, to be in cash, and the ba- lance in four equal annual payments, bearing interest from the date if not punctually paid, taking bonds with sufficient securities from the purchaser or purchasers, payable to the marshal, for the use of such of the parties to this sale, and the sale aforesaid, as may here- after be adjudged entitled thereto, and retain- ing the title to the said lands as security for the payment of the said annual instalments; and in case default be made in the said pay- ments, or either of them that shall fall due, that the said tract of land, or the lot or lots for which the payments shall not have been made according to the tenor of the sale, be set up for public sale by the marshal, for ready mo- ney, after the time and place of such sale shall have been advertised in manner as aforesaid and the proceeds of sale to be applied to the discharge of the sums remaining due on the purchase of the said tract of land, or the lot or lots so to be sold, and the surplus, if any, to be paid to the original purchaser. And if the parties shall prefer the said tracts of land being sold in two or more lots, or the marshal or his deputy who may act, shall be of opin- ion in case of their disagreement, that the va- lue of the said tract of land will be enhanced by a division thereof, the court doth direct that he have the same divided into as many lots as the parties shall agree on, or he think best, by the surveyor of the county of Fauquier, and sell the same so divided, and that he bring the said bonds and pay the money so to be received in cash at the sale, after hav- ing defrayed the expenses thereof and of the division if any shall be made into court, subject to its future order, and the marshal is directed to report his proceedings to the court; and the court doth further order and decree that the defendants, trustees for Mrs. Watson, be permitted to reap and carry off the now growing crop from the said lands, and that the marshal sell the same, subject to that pri- vilege, and this is to be without prejudice to any suit that Robert Bird, Bird, Savage and Bird, may hereafter bring, claiming the profits of the said lands, against the said defendants, trustees as aforesaid. A copy. Test. WM. MARSHALL, Clerk.
