Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAW. He is about 36 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet high, of a tawny complexion, has a scar on one of his jaws or side of his face forming a half circle; I think it is on the right, but am not positive. He is a slim made fellow, with a bushy head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green round coat, buff colored breeches, with homespun cloathing, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop or field. I have understood he has crossed the Potomac about Britain's Bay, over into Maryland. I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman.
All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harboring or carrying him away under the penalty of the law.
I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland, or Fifteen if taken in the Northern Neck, so that I get him again,

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, October 15.
Captain Robins, who left Carracoa on the 28th of September, informs us that gen. Miranda continued at Aruba, where he had landed his troops, who were reported to be sickly; and that a British frigate had left him.
Latest Foreign News.
The arrival at this port of the ship Maine, captain Rosseter, from Bristol, has extended our file of London papers one day later than by the Alexander. The Star, an evening paper, of the 27th of August, is received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser. It contains no other intelligence than is comprized in the following extracts.
We learn, verbally, that the honorable David Erskine, son of the lord chancellor of England, had embarked with his suite on board the sloop of war Avon, which was lying at Portsmouth ready for sea, and would sail the first fair wind for New-York, as minister resident from the court of G. Britain to the United States. His baggage, the Norfolk Ledger says, had been previously sent off by the ship John and Avice, which sailed from London on the 6th of August.
The political situation of France and England, as to the important question of peace or war, remained as per our former advices.
LONDON, August 27.
THE EXPEDITION.—On Monday morning, about six o'clock, the wind being at ESE. the signal was made for getting the fleet at Plymouth under way, and every ship hove short to her anchor, but by nine o'clock the wind had shifted again to the sw. and put a stop to any further proceedings. It is reported that orders have gone from the admiralty to countermand the sailing of part of them.
A number of transports are now assembled in the Downs, waiting for orders. At Ramsgate, they expect some of these to come in every tide.
QUEBEC FLEET.—We are concerned to state, that the greater part of this fleet has been captured and burnt by a French ship of the line of 80 guns. They were coming home under convoy of the Champion of 24 guns, which has arrived at Portsmouth, and which could render them hardly any assistance, the French ship having brought the wind up with her, as the seamen term it, and come upon the fleet before they could disperse, though they had seen her two days before.
One of our Portsmouth letters states, that the whole of the ships of which the convoy consisted, amounted to about 20 sail, were destroyed about a fortnight ago in lat. 47, long. 30.
Another letter, and we sincerely hope the more correct of the two, says, the convoy consisted of sixteen sail, of which eleven were destroyed by the enemy, and five had separated. Among the latter were three transports, having the 6th regiment on board.
A cabinet council was yesterday held at the foreign office, at two o'clock in the afternoon, which was attended by lords Spencer, Moira, Grecoille, Sidmouth, Erskine, Howick, and Messrs. Windham and T. Grenville. This council is understood to have been held on the information last received from Paris.
Lieutenant Hewett, of the royal navy, agent for transports at the port of Cork, has received orders to engage as many vessels as he can procure for that service, for twelve months certain.
LEYDEN, August 18.
Our last accounts from Paris mention that a new Catechism has been completed for the use of all the churches in the French empire, and, with the approbation of the representatives of the Holy See, will shortly be published.
ALGIERS, June 7.
A camp of eighty thousand men has been some time assembled under our walls, which broke up last night for Tunis. The artillery and ammunition is to be transported by water. The strictest orders are given to respect French vessels and French property.
The English have lately captured a Genoese vessel, which had a pass signed by the dey and an Algerine Ray on board. The dey, who has taken offence at this, has ordered the English agent away, and sent a letter to Malta, whither the captured vessel was brought, to obtain her restitution.
June 13.
A courier from Constantinople, who has likewise brought letters to the dey from
persons of importance at Tunis, is just arrived here, and sent back immediately, as it is supposed, to stop the march of the army. A ship of war, which cleared out with ammunition, is returned.
FRANKFORT, August 7.
The following details respecting the changes which are taking place in Germany, are given as authentic.
All the princes, intermediate counts, and other states of the empire, who are not named in the act of federation, and whose possessions join, or are included within those of the princes preserved, are wholly to lose their territorial superiority; that is to say, the right of having troops, of having tribunals dependent on them, the privilege of a mint, of having political agents—in one word, they are to be deprived of sovereignty according to the true meaning of the word.
It is said that the king of Prussia, in recognizing these changes in the constitution of southern Germany, reserves to himself a power of establishing a similar league (in the north) of what was formerly called the empire. Thus will this constitution, which has been so long invaded, wholly disappear, and the decline of which is only so gentle, because the measures which are taking at this day were preceded by the period of its fall.
The elector of Hesse is about to accede to the confederation of the Rhine. This prince will join the force of the union with upwards of 10,000 men.
NAPLES, July 23.
The English have taken a position on the shore of St. Euphemia. The division of general Regnier occupies Catanzaro, and all the posts in the farther Calabria; and he only waits for the junction of the troops from Apulia to attack the enemy, and drive them into the sea.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.
Arrived this morning the fast sailing brig Ida, Mathew Pawson, master, from Batavia, after a passage of seventy eight days. She came to anchor at New Point Comfort, and finished her voyage from Baltimore to Batavia, and back to Baltimore in seven months and a half, out of which time she lay at anchor in Batavia Roads fifty days.—Left there ship Minerva, Smith, of and for Baltimore in ten days; Apollo, of and for do in twenty days; the captain died on the 20th of June;—Sidney of do. time of sailing unknown;—the captain died on the twenty fifth of June;—brigs Robert Duncan of do. do.

Ten days previous to the Ida's sailing the natives in the neighborhood of Ceribon and Jacatra had rebelled, and committed great ravages among the coffee and sugar plantations, having destroyed several sugar mills and murdered all the Chinese. At the time the Ida sailed it was very sickly in the city, but healthy in the harbor. No coffee or pepper at market, and sugar very scarce. Specie in great demand.
NORFOLK, October 11:
Arrived ship Dumfries, Beard, 60 days from Rotterdam. October 8, on soundings, spoke ship Patapsco, Wray, from Jamaica bound to New York, sixteen days out.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12.
By late advices from the Mediterranean we learn that war has been declared between the bey of Tunis and the dey of Algiers; occasioned by the refusal of Tunis to pay the stipulated tribute to Algiers, which the former is said to be countenanced by the Porte. The bey of Tunis has raised an army of 70,000 men, and the dey of Algiers one of 60,000; the latter with an avowed purpose of attacking Tunis. The troops manifested some repugnance to marching, until they were tempted by the offer of the plunder of the town. No accounts have been received of the meeting of these armies, from which we may expect a bloody combat. The Tunisian cruisers had already entered the harbor of Algiers and committed considerable depredations; and Algiers had sent out seven cruisers to intercept Melli Melli.
(Nat. Intel.)
The next President.—The democratic president-makers, not being able to agree among themselves in the choice of a successor to Mr. Jefferson, are coming forward with addresses to that gentleman, to prevail on him to be a candidate once more. For this object meetings have been held in all the wards in Philadelphia and committees appointed. We shall not publish the proceedings of these meetings, they contain declarations and observations which we do not subscribe to. In all probability Mr. Jefferson will act, with his friends hereafter; it is our opinion that he will yield to the wishes of his friends.
The democrats have always boasted that the talents and patriotism of the country were with them, yet it appears that they have not one among them, that they can agree, possesses the requisite qualifications for a successor to Mr. Jefferson.
(Norfolk Ledger.)
A round-about rumor of Peace.—Arrived this day the brig Harriot, captain Willes, 17 days from Jamaica, and seven from Crooked Island, informs that before he left Crooked Island, the senr Samuel, captain Reed, of Edenton (N. C.) arrived from Jamaica, which place he left on the 18th of September, and stated, that before he sailed, a vessel had arrived at her a short passage from England, dispatched express with the intelligence of a peace being concluded between France, Spain, and Great Britain. On this intelligence, the ships and forts at Jamaica fired a grand salute. The recent advices which have been received from England direct, render this intelligence very doubtful, almost impossible.
(Brid.)
The reverend Dr. Kollock, late Professor of Theology in the College of N. Jersey, having resigned his office, the functions of that professorship devolve, for the present, on the president of the college, instructions in this science, and the same advantages to students in theology which have already been held out to the public, will always be continued in this institution.
SAMUEL S. SMITH.
Princeton. October 4. 1805.
Such editors of public papers in the southern and western states as are friendly to the college, will confer a favor on it by inserting the above notification, at least once in their respective gazettes.
GRUMBLING.
SELLECK OSBORN, who consented to abandon the flowery walks of science, and to forego his delightful dalliance with the Muses, to dabble in the dirt of democracy, and wallow in the filth of a jail, thus writes, in one of his late papers:—
"If taxes are taken off, federalists grumble. If taxes are laid on, federalists grumble. If the administration will not expend four millions of dollars, and sacrifice as many thousands of lives to take New Orleans from Spain, federalists grumble.
"If the administration obtain possession of that post, and the adjacent country, for five millions, without bloodshed, federalists grumble.
"If armed ships are rotting in the docks for want of employ, federalists grumble.
"If the ships are sold, federalists grumble.
"If we are deficient in naval force, federalists grumble.
"If gun-boats are built, federalists grumble.
"When the lives of our countrymen were risked in the war with Tripoli, federalists grumbled.
"When peace was concluded with Tripoli, federalists grumbled.
"And grumble they will, at all events, until they get a federalist into the chair, federalists in all the departments, in all lucrative offices, until the return of cockades, address, proper."
SAMUEL SNOWDEN.

national armies, navies, and all the glory attending the high road to the hole of nobles!" As Mr. Osborn must have written these paragraphs by the light admitted through the "small crevice" in his prison wall, it is not strange that they are not quite complete. With a little alteration they will point out exactly for what reasons
FEDERALISTS GRUMBLE.
If taxes are taken from luxuries and pleasure carriages, which fall exclusively on the rich—and are laid upon salt and the necessaries of life—federalists grumble.
If the administration expends seventeen millions of dollars in the purchase of a right already guaranteed to us by treaty, under pretence of buying a territory, and thereby furnishes a pretext for a war which will cost forty millions of dollars, and as many thousands of lives—and, after all, neither secures the right, nor gets possession of the territory—federalists grumble.
If armed ships are rotting in the docks, while commerce is suffering for want of protection—federalists grumble.
If the ships are sold at half their cost—federalists grumble.
If we are deficient in naval force—federalists grumble. [This needs no alteration.]
If gun-boats are built—all the world laughs—and federalists grumble.
When the lives of our countrymen were not only risked but squandered, by carrying on a war with a force not half "competent"—federalists grumbled.
When a base and ignominious peace was made with Tripoli, by which our honor and Euron's little band of heroes, were sacrificed—federalists grumbled.
And grumble they will, until a good man fills the chair, and honest men the departments and offices—and until we have spirit enough to render the American name glorious, and the name of American a sufficient title of nobility.

THE FOLLOWING
New and Valuable Medicine, Is just received for SALE, by the Subscriber, at his Store in King-street. 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 place 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, Glects, 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. Seafaring 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 most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other 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; on 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. THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.  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.
