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 clothing, 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 harbouring 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, George Christopher. Westmoreland County, Virg. 14th September.

TO THE HONORABLE THOMAS JEFFERSON, President United States.
SIR, THE unexampled feebleness and impo- lency of your administration, has at length encompassed you with difficulties of too great magnitude and number, for a spirit and talents such as yours to encounter, with the smallest probability of success. The very arts by which you crept into pow- er, and the wretched system of policy by which you have for so many years retained your popularity are now, in the natural course of their operation, revolving back upon yourself—to take a hint from one of your own notable effusions, "The full tide of your experiments" is turning, now rolls back upon you and ebb space, and you are driven to an alternative the most grievous imaginable to your personal feelings; ei- ther to meet Spain or her mistress France in the field, or to betake you to the more innocuous folly of caricaturing natural phi- losophy, and writing notes upon gnats at Monticello. Your situation is, indeed, so emphatically miserable, that not to pity you were a great crime, if not to condemn you were not a greater.
He who has the power, the purse, and the patronage of an opulent nation at his command, as you have, will never want defenders, however worthless he may be himself, or however wicked his purpose. You have had yours. Never did the moun- tains of Switzerland pour down into the rich plains of Europe, at the call of mur- derous ambition, a more fierce or unprinci- pled horde of hirelings than have graced your march through a ruinous administra- tion of six years. The ferments of the world were favorable to you in this respect, throwing up on the surface of society a su- perabundance of that kind of recreant which was most suitable to your purpose, and enabling you to enlist on your side, a- gainst the good of your country, a host of auxiliaries, who found in you an object they could espouse without the slightest de- fection from their own feelings, and in yours, a system which they might defend without apostatizing from their own princi- ples. In one respect they afforded you an unequalled advantage over the good men who were your adversaries. They had learned in the French school to allow them- selves no checks from those moral laws, which it was the primary work of the French revolution to destroy. Provided the end was attained, they felt no repug- nance about the means by which they at- tained it. The barriers of truth being long broken down, or else overleaped, the un- bounded field of invention lay open to them, and there they ranged at large in search of attributes for your decoration, which your modesty never before dreamed of, and of facts, for your support, which never had existence. They were at call to enforce your purposes, by the arguments which it was most competent to such heads and such hearts to help you to. They were ready to scribble and to brawl as well as they could, and to murder the fame and the means of the best men of the land. So long, therefore, as a story, no matter whe- ther true or false, told without a blush, argued upon with hectoring effrontery, and backed with influence and office, could serve for your support, all went well with you. So long as a scantling of puff paste praise, was strong enough to support you, you were safe. Your measures in any de- partment could not want for panegyrists, since in every department there were em- oluments and offices at your disposal. Tho' you had no court-creature specially paid & appointed to pandar the muses for a formal birthday ode, you had a multitude of en- comiasts who could falsify in prose; and who, however deficient in the inspiration which comes from the highest heaven of invention, were more than a match for any poet laureat of them all, in venality. You may indeed be said to have converted the union into a nation of prosers who hobble it out with very common substitutes for the poetical requisites. For knowledge invention, mi- lice for wit, and for harmonious numbers an abundance of epithets of that precious kind, which originally sprung from the sans culletterie of Paris. Without ever ap- proaching or perhaps so much as knowing the name of Parnassus, or sipping one soli- tary drop from the Pierian spring, a host of collectors—officers or candidates for office —collectors, surveyors, postmasters, gov- ernors, sheriffs, bailiffs and watchmen, touched, not in the head by the muse, but in the palm by the magistrate, have in a half flutter, half race, like the ostrich, con- trived to rise to prosaic invention in sup- port of your measures singing your praise, and swallowing the douceurs of the state. Those as they invented you into office, and
invented pretexts for your misconduct while there, will now invent causes for the danger you have brought upon the country; and in strict conformity to their inventive ha- bits, will produce any but the true ones. They, ingenious souls, once found out that your temporising conduct was the way to secure respect and peace to this country; now, that contempt and war are dashed in its face, they will find out that, not your temporising conduct, but the reproaches of your political adversaries, and their exhor- tations to you to arm the country, have been the cause. They will say that it was not your timidity which tempted, nor your a- versight of Miranda that enraged, but the insults offered to your friend Bonaparte by the federal prints, which angered Spain & France into war. And it is likely that, with no less truth and modesty, they will, by & by, say that it was your haired and the in- sulting language of yourself, your legisla- ture, and your agents of the press to Great Britain which induced her to afford you as probably she will, protection from your friend the Corsican. This farce, however, draws near to an end; the lout of indigna- tion, and the sneer of ineffable scorn sit upon the public brow. The delusion is al- most over, and the first shot that is fired on our western possessions, will be the sig- nal for rending in pieces that veil of artifice by which the true character of your admin- istration has been concealed from the pub- lic.
I believe, Sir, I only repeat the univer- sal opinion of mankind—a postulate which has never been controverted, when I say that between nations, as between individu- als, the very best security for peace, is promptitude and capacity for war; while on the other hand timidity not only excites contempt, but encourages encroachment, and solicits attacks. Individuals being un- der no responsibility to others may, with- out any harm, please their fancy by im- ploring the justice which they have a right to demand. But the chief executive mag- istrate of a country, who, cherishing his fancies, or shivering under his fears, sup- plicates for his country that justice which he has a right to demand, and, but for his impolicy, would have the power to enforce, prevaricates with his duty, prostrates his country's honor, and if war ensues (which is most likely) is not only culpable of war, by neglecting the legitimate natural means of avoiding it [preparation] but stands in the sentence of having aggravated the evils of war, with the disgrace of supplication despised, and the ignominy of humiliation rejected with disdain.
While I thus address you, sir, I own that, different from my language to Mr. Randolph, I speak not prospectively with a view to any amendment in your senti- ments, or any alteration in your system— you are too far descended into the vale of years for the one, and you are too near the end of your power for the other. And to speak my mind, I very much fear that your soil was from the beginning too sandy for improvement. My purpose is, to make you turn your eyes backward on your past conduct and persuade you to repent. Do, sir!—Contemplate what you have done —view it attentively in all its natural as- pects and in all the attitudes into which your ingenuity can throw it; and then ask your heart what confidence in your con- duct, what faith in your professions can you reasonably expect from your country, or from the nations of Europe. I will for the present put the disgraceful affair of Af- rica and Gen. Eaton out of the question; and come at once to the more important af- fair of Spain. By the meanest diplomatic traffic with France and Spain you commit- ted your country to their decision and con- tempt, and while you tempted their cupidi- ty, exposed your country's weakness. You endured their encroachments, their spurns, their scorn. You suffered the councils of your country to be dictated to, and its chief executive magistracy (in your person alas!) bearded and insulted by their ambassadors. And all for what? You will say, to avoid war. What!—to avoid war with Spain indeed, when the union rings with impu- nitions against you of being engaged in sub- tle underworking hostility against her, and of holding privity with one of her subjects who was engaged in a plan, which, how- ever laudable in its views, was treason to that country. Is such the peace which America ought to enjoy? Is such the war fit for America to fight in? A peace ob- tained by abject humiliation—A war incur- red by detected treachery. The opinions respecting your privity with Miranda, are so far as regards the country, just as mis- chievous as if they were proved, and must so remain, until they shall be disproved— Till then, the pervading sentiment will be, that while you were soothing Spain from fear, you had a dagger for her concealed in your bosom.
And now, sir, let me ask you a question. Are you, can you be so far advanced in im- pairment of faculties, as to entertain a hope that all which passes so very current here will escape the notice of the monarchs of Spain and France? Can you flatter yourself that every item of the Miranda affair, with the trials of Mr. Smith and Mr. Ogden; the speeches of the counsel; the testimony of the witnesses who appeared at the trial; the causes for the non-appearance of those witnesses who did not appear; the verdict of the juries; the honest and legal conduct of your friend judge Talmadge; together with the whole of that disgraceful dance which you are said to have the honor of leading up, and all the strugglings and plungings of your partisans, in their despair for you, upon that occasion; can you, I say, flatter yourself, that the whole of it has not been talked of, freely, at St. Cloud and at the Escorial? Lay not that foolish fondling hope to your heart; you will soon be convinced to the contrary: you will soon find your supplications for peace, answered by active war; the duplicity of your diplo- matic instructions, by hard blows, and your imputed kindness to the revolutioniz- er of the Carracas, by a Spanish and French army in Louisiana.
CORREGIDOR.
FROM THE LONDON COURIER.
August 15.
Whilst the coalition of peace between Russia and France would induce us to be- lieve that war would not again break out upon the continent, the aspect of affairs, and the measures lately adopted, would al- most persuade us that the preservation of peace is impossible, and that the flames of war are on the point of bursting forth a- gain with as much violence as ever. The peace of the continent is ensured, say the Paris papers, by the treaty with Russia. Yet, immediately after the conclusion of that treaty, Bonaparte orders a fresh levy of fifty thousand conscripts! The Paris papers, which have arrived to the 7th, and Dutch to the 12th, have communicated to us this important intelligence. The Moni- teur endeavors to remove all suspicions and apprehensions which this warlike measure is calculated to excite. When the third co- alition, it asserts, assumed an aspect which rendered a large conscript levy necessary to support the glory of the throne, and de- fend the dearest interests of the country, the levy of 80,000 conscripts was ordered —but they were never called out. But now, of those 80,000 men of the conscrip- tion of 1806, who were not deemed ne- cessary to be called out, even in time of war, and before the battle of Austerlitz had sealed the humiliation of the house of Austria; now, of those 80,000 men, fifty thousand are to be called out directly! But the Moniteur would have us believe, that at any rate that number, or nearly that number, would have been called out, even if we had enjoyed profound peace, to re- place those who have been or may be dis- charged. Be it so; but then why was it necessary to state any other reason? tho' even then we should ask why it was deem- ed necessary to keep up the army to its full war amount, at a time when Bonaparte had held out a prospect of reducing his army to the peace establishment? The Moniteur, however, is not content with stating that these 50,000 will not do more than supply the places of those who have been or may be discharged.—(we do not believe that one man has been discharged); it says, and we beg our readers to attend to the expressions "If, as every thing leads to hope, the affairs of the continent are about to be settled, the 50,000 men will serve to replace the soldiers who shall receive their discharge, and return to their families. If, on the contrary, which there is no reason to think, the period of the re- pose of the continent is not yet arrived, these 50,000 men, by completing the different corps on the war footing, will carry the French army to its highest degree of strength."
Is this the language of a government which had so confidently told us, that the tranquility of the continent was insured, and that there was no power which dared to disturb it? "Every thing leads to hope." and "There is no reason to think?" Is this the confident tone which we should have expected Bonaparte to have assumed? Had he been so convinced that the peace of the continent was ensured, would he have expressed a doubt on the subject? Would he have confined himself to a hope that the affairs of the continent were about to be settled? Would he have suffered the idea to be entertained a moment, that the "Pe- riod of the repose of the continent is not yet arrived?" Observe too that in inform- ing us that the levy would have been resorted to at all events, to fill up the vacancies produced by discharges, he uses the words
"Even if we had enjoyed profound peace." Why, as far as relates to the continent, peace with Russia, we were told, had re- stored peace to the continent. It cannot be said that the war with England has reu- dered this fresh levy necessary.
But it may be asked from what quarter can hostility be expected to come? Russia has made peace and withdrawn. Austria has not yet sufficiently recovered her strength to undertake another contest; and Prussia seems too much under the power and in the toils of France to go to war with her? But all these are arguments which would have rendered it wholly unne- cessary for Bonaparte to have increased his military force, or to have entertained any doubt upon the subject of the continental peace. Does he think that his new Ger- man confederacy will not be quietly acqui- esced in, however humble Austria or Pru- ssia may be? Does he think this fresh dis- play of force necessary to make them "Drain his draughts of Rheinish dows?" Or does he meditate new enterprizes? Is at something more than the German con- federacy? Are Prussia and Austria to be further curtailed of their power? Is Swit- zerland to be converted into a new king- dom for another of his mushroom family? Does he extend his prospects and his pre- sumption to the confines of Europe, and, sitting himself down upon the throne of Constantine, does he wish to fix his menac- ing looks upon Asia? Nothing is too wild, nothing too extravagant for a man whose ambition is remorseless—who combines in his character the extremes of democracy and despotism—whom we can compare to no man that ever lived—but whom Milton by prophetic anticipation seems to have portrayed in the description he gives of the king of terrors.
The other shape, If shape it might be called that shape had none, Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb; Or substance might be called, that shadow seemed; For each seemed either; black it stood as night, Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell, And shook a dreadful dart. What seemed his head The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
RESUSCITATION.
On Monday week as two persons were bathing in Jackson's dam, a little above the Queen's dock, in Liverpool, one of them slipt into a hole, and was supposed to be drowned. The body after remaining un- der water nearly half an hour, was taken out and conveyed to the South-Shore Col- lee-House. A young medical gentleman happened to be in the neighborhood at the time, opened a vein, no doubt from the best intentions, and though the blood ap- peared, there was no hope of returning life. Another medical gentleman was sent for, who merely applied hot salt, but left him, declaring there was no chance of re- covery. In half an hour his assistant also left him, expressing the same opinion.— Fortunately, however, Dr. Stephens, of Lowhill, happened to be in the neighbor- hood, and humanely offered his assistance. On examining the body, he declared his opinion that life might be restored, provid- ed perseverance was exerted. He instant- ly sent for a medicine of his own prepara- tion, which he had just before sent to a patient not far distant, and which he appli- ed to the breast, nostrils, head, feet, &c. In the space of ten minutes, although two hours had now elapsed since the body was taken up, symptoms of resuscitation were observed; the heart beat, the pulse be- came full, and respiration was restored. In the course of an hour the most encou- raging proofs of recovery manifested them- selves, and in three hours the poor unfor- tunate man, who had been too precipitately doomed the victim of an early death, re- covered his speech, and is now, we under- stand, restored to his friends and society. We conceive it to be of great importance that cases of this nature should be made as public as possible.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
PARIS, August 4.
Assembly of the French Deputies professing the religion of the Jews.
SECOND MEETING.
The commissioners of his majesty having entered the hall, M. Molé who was at their head, addressed the assembly as follows:
Gentlemen, "His majesty the emperor & king having appointed us commissioners to treat with you, respecting your own affairs has sent us here this day for the purpose of communicating his intentions. Called from the farthest part of this vast empire, none of you can be ignorant of the purpose for which you are assembled here. You are aware that the conduct of many of those who profess your religion has given rise to complaints which have reached the foot of the throne. These complaints were not without foundation. The emperor notwithstanding, is contented with arresting the progress of the evil, and wished to have your opinion on the means of radically curing it. You will no doubt prove yourselves deserving of this paternal consideration, and you will feel the value of the important mission which is confided to you—Far from regarding the government under which you live, as a power of which you should be suspicious, your study will be to enlighten it, to co-operate with it in the good which it is preparing; and by thus manifesting that you have profited by the experience of all the French, you will prove, that you have no wish to separate yourselves from other classes of society.
"The laws which have been imposed upon persons of your religion have been different all over the world; they have been too often dictated by the exigency of the moment. But, as there is no example in the Christian annals of any assembly like this, so, in like manner, you, for the first time, are to be impartially judged, and your fate decided by a Christian prince.—It is his majesty's wish that you should become French; it is your duty to accept this title, and to consider that you in fact renounce it, whenever you shew yourselves unworthy of it.
"You shall hear the questions read which are to be proposed to you. It will be your duty to declare the whole truth up on each of them. We now declare to you, and we shall never cease to repeat it to you, that when a sovereign as firm as he is just, who knows every thing who can punish as well as reward, interrogates his subjects, they would render themselves blind to their real interest, if they should hesitate about answering freely and frankly.
"It is his majesty's wish, gentlemen, that you should enjoy perfect deliberation. Your president will communicate your answers to us as soon as they are prepared. As to ourselves we have no more ardent wishes than to be able to inform the emperor, that among his subjects of the Jewish religion, there are none whose loyalty is not unquestionable, and who are not disposed to conform to those laws and morals which it is the duty of all Frenchmen to practise and follow."
The following questions, proposed by his majesty, were then read by the secretary of the meeting.
 1. Is the Jew permitted to marry more than one wife?  2. Is divorce permitted by the Jewish religion?  3. Can a Jewess intermarry with a christian, or a christian female with a Jew; or does the law prescribe that Jews alone should intermarry?  4.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 7.
The following is an accurate statement of the votes given in this city yesterday for two members of congress, two members of the assembly, and a sheriff for Baltimore county:
  For Congress,   N. R. Moore, 3046   William M'Creery, 1889   For Assembly,   Edward Aisquith, 1430   Robert Stewart, 1170   For Sheriff,   John Hunter, 1814 
WASHINGTON, October 8.
The latest official information from the westward, down to the 30th of August at Natchitoches, states that the Spanish forces, after having remained from the 10th to the 19th of August within 17 miles of that place, fell back on the 19th to the Bayou Pierre, a post not yet delivered to the U. States, and about 60 miles from Natchitoches, where they still remained.
It was considered as doubtful whether this retrograde march was occasioned by the want of provisions, in which they were very deficient, or whether it indicated a purpose to retire permanently beyond the boundary of the territory delivered to us.
Governor Claiborne had reached Natchitoches on the 24th of August, and was making arrangements for calling out the militia in case of necessity.
General Wilkinson had passed through Fort Adams for Natchitoches. He expressed a hope of being able to induce the Spanish governor to withdraw his forces without resorting to coercive measures; and a confidence in case he should not, of being able to compel him.
Mr. Freeman, after ascending the Red river about 600 miles, had returned, with his exploring party, to Natchitoches. Although it was contemplated that he should proceed farther, yet owing to the season & lowness of water, he had reached the highest practicable point, and would have voluntarily returned in a few days, independently of the menace of the Spaniards.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9.
EXTRACT.
Natchitoches, Aug. 26, 1805.
"Mr. Freeman returned to this place on Saturday last, after having ascended 430 miles above this place, where the Spaniards had been waiting for him for five days. A little after the usual time for stopping for dinner, a detachment of the Spanish party amounting to about one hundred and fifty men, crossed the river in full gallop, with an evident intention to charge on our party. Captain Sparks with great address took possession of an elevated bank thirty feet above the surface of the water, and the men being provided with rears for their rifles, in such a manner as to have made an impression—The Spanish commander appears to have perceived our advantage, and the awkward situation in which he had placed himself, and brought his troops to a halt immediately; when a flag being hoisted a conference took place between Mr. Freeman and the Spanish commander Vieuve, who declared his positive orders to be, not to allow any armed force whatever to proceed beyond that place, and to repel by arms any attempt to proceed. The conference continued about half an hour, when Mr. Freeman conceived it to be his duty to return, considering that the tract already explored was extensive, and the waters had become so shallow that for the few preceding days they had to haul the boats over the sand-banks.
"Mr. Freeman describes the land adjacent to this river as almost wholly composed of prairies and thick cane breaks;—the latter are always an indication of rich land, and requires little more labor in clearing than that of a corn patch.
"Yesterday governor Claiborne arrived to concert measures with col. Cushing respecting our situation, and to organize the militia. In his conversation he appears to feel very sensibly the hostile conduct of the Spanish forces, and if I may trust my judgment something energetic will take place at no great distance of time. The Spanish forces are stationed about fifty miles from us, having fallen back to their former position on Bayou Pierre.
"This morning captain Bowyer and his company arrived from Opelousas, and we
expect three companies from Fort Adams, boats having been sent for them 12 or 14 days ago; collecting this force here would appear to indicate a determination to make the Spaniards re-cross the Sabine. If such is the determination it puts the result of an engagement in our favor, without risk, but the troops here could not be better pleased than to march with only two hundred men against the Spaniards on this side the Sabine. We have no sort of apprehension of danger here from any force the Spaniards can bring against us; the solicitude here appears to be led forward; and they only fear that the Spaniards may escape without paying them for the trouble they have taken."
The democrats are very much like men and wife of a certain description; they quarrel and abuse one another, in the most gross and virulent terms; but if a federalist agrees with either party, as to what is said of the other, he may be sure to have a house about his ears directly. Neither will give him any quarter. Thus the democratic papers are filled with bitter denunciations of this, that and the other man of their own party; yet, if a federal editor suggests the possibility of there being, in the ranks of democracy, a single man who would not, like Lycourgos, perish voluntarily, for the good of his country, he is a slanderer, an enemy to the only true friends of the people! and the whole kennel bark furiously in concert at him, until they think they have barked enough; then they turn and growl again among themselves. At this moment the most severe things that can be conceived are publishing by some or other of the democratic party, against Jefferson, Madison, Gallatin, Granger, Randolph, Wilkinson, Burr, McKean Clintons (a family of them) &c. &c. &c. A democrat needs only take half a dozen of the principal papers, professing exclusive Republicanism, and he will see likenesses of his most distinguished favorites very correctly drawn, and by those, who from intimacy, knew them much better than the federalists can.
Repertory.
The following portrait of American enterprise on the ocean, was drawn by EDMUND BURKE, in a speech delivered in the House of Commons two and thirty years since. This is a people who our philosophical rulers would persuade to abandon the ocean, who while (as the orator says) in the gristle exhibited such wonderful enterprise. "As to the wealth which the colonies have drawn from the sea by their fisheries, you had all that matter fully opened at your bar. You surely thought these acquisitions of value, for they seemed even to excite your envy; and yet the spirit by which that enterprising employment has been exercised, ought rather, in my opinion, to have raised your esteem and admiration. And gray Sir, what in the world is equal to it? Pass by the other parts, and look at the manner in which the New-England people have of late carried on the whale fishery. Whilst we follow them among the tumbling mountains of ice, and behold them penetrating into the deepest frozen recesses of Hudson's Bay, and Davis's Straits, whilst we are looking for them beneath the arctic circle, we hear that they have pierced into the opposite region of polar cold, that they are at the Antipodes, and engaged under the frozen serpent of the south. Falkland Island, which seemed too remote and romantick an object for the grasp of national ambition, is but a stage and resting place to their victorious industry. Nor is the equinoctial heat more discouraging to them, than the accumulated winter of both poles. We know that some of them draw the line and strike the harpoon on the coast of Africa, others run the longitude, and pursue their gigantic game along the coast of Brazil. No sea but what is vexed with their fisheries. No climate that is not witness to their toils. Neither the perseverance of Holland, nor the activity of France, nor the dexterous and firm sagacity of English enterprise, ever carried their most perilous mode of hardy industry to the extent to which it has been pursued by this recent people; a people who are still in the gristle, and not yet hardened into manhood."
The following act of the legislature of Pennsylvania contains a republican commentary on the freedom of conscience too illustrious not be given in the words of the legislature. Few instances are to be found in the annals of legislation so honorable to human nature. Other governments have been sedulous in the creation of religious tests, invasive of one of the best gifts of Providence to man. It is the pride of republican governments to leave the conscience as free as the air we breathe.
Farmer's Museum.
"Whereas it has been represented to the legislature by sundry citizens called Seventh day Baptists, that owing to the township elections and other public business being transacted on Saturday or Seventh day of the week, they are in a great measure excluded from a participation in the privileges of free citizens.—And whereas it is presumed that changing of such elections and meetings, while it would
afford the relief prayed for by the petitioners, would not be any injury to other citizens of this commonwealth, but rather a benefit: Therefore,
"Be it enacted, that from and after the 4th day of July next, all township elections, that now are directed by law to be held on Saturday, shall be held on Friday immediately preceding, and so much of any law as is by this act altered or supplied, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed, from and after the said 4th day of July next."
On the banks of the Rio Grande, in Africa, a salt is produced which is proved to be an instantaneous and infallible antidote against poison. The manner in which it was discovered is curious. It appears to have been owing to an elephant which, tho' wounded by a poisoned arrow, a weapon with which the negroes destroy those animals for the sake of their teeth, continued, to the astonishment of the hunters, to walk and graze without showing any sign of pain. One of the negroes recollected that the elephant had gone, on being struck with the arrow, to the bank of a stream, and had conveyed some sand to its mouth by means of its trunk; but, on looking at what they conceived to be sand, they found that it was a whitish salt, having a slight taste of alum. To effect a radical cure of any poison that may have been absorbed, it is only necessary to drink a drachm of this salt dissolved in water.
Good old Stock. —There is now growing on the farm, in Danvers, formerly the residence of Governor ENDICOTT, a Pear Tree , which the Governor imported from England in the year 1630. The tree continues to bear fruit of a very good flavor. This year the produce amounted to about eight bushels. (New England paper.)
From the Port Folio.
TO A LADY SEEN WEEPING OVER THE SICK BED OF A PARENT. Bright are the pearls that pave the way, Where in their cars the sea-nymph glide; Bright bursts the day-star from the sea, In silver torrents streaming wide. Bright is the glory-streaming wreath That o'er the brow of genius nods, Bright is the hero's fame in death Enroll'd amongst th' immortal gods: But brighter far the filial tear That o'er the cheek of beauty streams, Than ocean's gems, or stars appear, Or radiant glory's brightest beams. Yes! tho' when first I heard thy name, The sound sunk deep into my heart, And while thy charms were told by fame, I fear'd—I felt, the future dart. Had I not seen thee anguish'd shed Thy sorrows o'er a parent's pain, And grief its gradual paleness spread, Where health had held her rosy reign. Perhaps, within this bleeding breast, Of hopes and fears the warring train Had throbb'd themselves to final rest, Nor I still wearied heaven in vain.

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 com- mon place remark however is too often for- gotten, whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descrip- on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gouts, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad- ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.— Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose 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 peri- lous 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 prescrip- tions have been published to cure the disor- ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose un- bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con- sequence 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. Mac- ubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton- place; to which may be added, the following testimony of respectable gentlemen residing in the city of Baltimore:
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, Butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violent- ly 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. Tis- sot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accord- ingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the applica- tion of which, under God, have perfectly re- stored 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 23d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harrow- 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 dis- location, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providential- ly was recommended to apply at George Dob- bin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself per- fectly 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 ap- ply 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 com- plaint was entirely removed, and he is now re- covering his strength with great rapidity.
