VIA NEW-YORK.
VIENNA, July 23.
The prince of Lichtenstein makes frequent journeys from Comorn to Schoenbrunn. According to reports, the signature of peace is near; the conditions will be very advantageous to the princes of the Rhenish Confederacy, but particularly to Bavaria and Saxony. The frontiers of Austria will be removed far to the east."
LOUISBOURG, July 31.
Our Court Gazette states, that on the 21st the town of Gratz, and on the 23d, the citadel, given up to the French, and the whole province evacuated by the Austrians. Count Guilay at first refused to give up Gratz, till marshal Macdonald advanced with two fresh French divisions.
PARIS, August 1.
Letters from Vienna state that count Champagny and the duke of Friuli on the part of the French, and prince de Lichtenstein and baron Vincent are furnished with full powers to treat for peace.
General St. Savarre is appointed to the chief command of the coast from Boulogne to Flushing.
M. Antoine, nephew to the queen of Spain, and Franceschi, nephew of general Dumas, have fallen into the hands of the Spanish insurgents.
AMSTERDAM, August 5.
His majesty arrived here on the 2d, at 11 in the forenoon. An extraordinary meeting of the council of state immediately took place, and after some conferences with the ministers his majesty set off for Rotterdam.
Our court Gazette states that a considerable French force, destined to drive out the enemy, is assembled in the neighborhood of Ghent, under the prince of Ponte Corvo, who must by this time (the 2d) have arrived there. The troops are marching daily from Ghent towards Antwerp.
LIVERPOOL, August 24.
On Saturday evening about 7 o'clock major Bradford, aid de camp to the commander of the expedition, and lieut. May of the navy, arrived at London with dispatches from the earl of Chatham and sir Richard Strachan, announcing the important news of the capture of Flushing.
Despatches have been received from the earl of Chatham, which state that the garrison of Flushing amounted to 200 officers, 4985 rank and file, 618 sick—total 5808. The whole force opposed to ours on the island was upwards of 9000 men.
This greatly exceeds the estimate in the former dispatches.
Arrived, the ship General Knox, S. Hopkins, from Baltimore.
PARIS, August 1.
The preparations making here induces us to presume that his majesty will soon be here. The Imperial guard has already re-
ceived orders to occupy the same posts as is usual when the emperor is here. It is reported here that a general congress of all the princes of the confederation will be held in this city.
August 8.
Letters from Munich of the 31st July state, that an entrenched camp has been formed on the Wittenberg (White Mount) near Prague in Bohemia, to which the Austrian army is to retreat in the unexpected case that peace should not be concluded. The works of Prague have been confidently reinforced, and the place has been victualled for a six months' siege. Much heavy ordnance has also been conveyed thither from Therienstadt.
HAMBURGH, August 10.
We have just received advices of the archduke Charles having been removed from the command of the army; and, that notice had been given to the French of the termination of the armistice. It is said, that prince John of Lichtenstein is to succeed the archduke Charles in the command of the Austrian army.
NAPLES, July 27.
The British have very unexpectedly received orders entirely to evacuate the islands of Ilchia and Proseida. The troops and the sick are embarked. The Sicilian prince Leopold, who was on board the fleet, and the dukes of Arcoli and Camera, two Neapolitan emigrants, have by this time returned to Melazzo. It would appear that considerable difference had taken place between them and general Stuart. Two British regiments had proceeded to Malta.
LONDON, August 16.
It is an unquestionable truth, that very serious disturbances have broken out at Rotterdam. The spirit of insurrection first manifested itself among the lower orders of peasantry, who commenced by exclaiming "Long live the House of Orange! Give us back the prince of Orange!" Twenty or thirty of the ringleaders were secured a week or ten days ago, and lodged in the stadthouse as prisoners. No example had been made of them at the date of the last advices.
A strict embargo has been laid on all vessels in Holland. We have been favored with the sight of a letter, dated the 4th inst. which positively announces the fact.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
London, Wednesday evening, half past seven.
We have not heard that ministers have received any further advices from the island of Walcheren. A vessel has arrived in the river from the coast of Holland, by which letters till the 15th have been received. These letters confirm the report of the arrival of general Armstrong at Amsterdam, from Paris. They also inform us, that the American ship which some time since went into the Texel, for the avowed purpose of imparting to the masters of American vessels the state of the relations between the government of the United States and those of the belligerent powers, had, since general Armstrong reached Holland, been directed to quit her anchorage and proceed on a cruise in the North Seas; with a view, no doubt, of warning American vessels in those seas not to enter the ports of Holland or France. In these letters, it is said, decisively, that the armistice between France and Austria has been broken; as a proof of which, are mentioned, the various rises and falls of colonial produce in the course of a few days.
It is not believed that Bonaparte has signified a determination to call out the conscriptions for 1811 and 1812. This was merely a speculative rumor of yesterday; to which it was added, that a great coolness had taken place between Napoleon and the emperor of Russia—the latter having seriously remonstrated against the French proceedings in Galicia. These are reports which emanated from the stock exchange.
The following is the copy of a letter, dated
"Flushing, 18th August, 1809."
"This place was not altogether evacuated by the French until this day. A great part of the town is destroyed, and thousands of the inhabitants have perished. The stadthouse, a large church, and several other public buildings have been consumed. Most of our ships of war have proceeded up the Scheldt, and Sir Richard Strachan will follow with the remainder tomorrow. There are ten French ships of the line and 15 frigates, with about 50 gun-boats (as we now learn) beyond Fort Lillo. There are also a line of battle ship and two smaller vessels building in Flushing.
Letters from Paris of the 8th inst. speak of the probability of a decree interdicting all communication with America.
August 23.
It is said, now, that the Austrian government positively gave, on the 3d instant, the stipulated notice of the cessation of the armistice in fifteen days from that date; consequently hostilities might have recommenced yesterday. It is added, that the archduke Charles published an address to the Austrian army on resigning the command, speaking in the highest terms of prince John of Lichtenstein, his successor. Some of the papers have already raised the most unbecoming cry against the archduke Charles—the hero Charles, whom they recently almost deified. We cannot follow them in these transitions. The archduke Charles may have been weak; but we know nothing of the matter. The generals whose advice he followed, may have been a cabal; but we know nothing of that. Prince John of Lichtenstein may be a much abler man; but we know nothing of that. If the war be renewed, we hope Austria will be successful under whoever may be entrusted with the command of her armies. But it is surely as unjust as ungracious to arraign a prince, whose character has been hitherto unimpeachable, merely because he discontinued the war before we wished him; and to extol, at the expense of his character, a successor of whom we know nothing, except that he is in power, and is about to renew the war; and even that we know on doubtful authority.
[Pilot.]
The mysterious veil which has covered the negotiations between Austria and France is at length drawn aside, and an appeal to arms has been once more resolved upon by the emperor Francis. This important intelligence has certainly reached his majesty's ministers. The archduke Charles no longer commands the Austrian armies, and prince John of Lichtenstein has been declared generalissimo, with full powers. An official communication declaring this change, and at the same time announcing the determination of the Austrian government to persevere in the contest at all risks rather than yield to the arrogant demands of Napoleon, was on Sunday evening received by Mr. Canning. This we state as a fact, which cannot be contradicted.
[The Day.]
August 26.
We this day resume our extracts from the German papers to the 14th, received yesterday. The Austrian army is again represented as very formidable in numerical strength. It is said that it will soon amount to 350,000 men, independent of the Landwehr. This army is posted along the eastern banks of the river Maich; the centre is stated to be at Cremsie; the right at Olmutz, and the left at Holitsch.
The report of the renewal of hostilities between France and Austria was repeated yesterday with increased confidence. It was further stated in the ministerial circles last night, that prince Stahrenberg had acknowledged the receipt of private letters, announcing an actual engagement, in which the French were defeated.
Letters from Paris, of so late a date as the 17th, have been received. They state that peace between Austria and France was agreed on the 10th; but accounts from Vienna of the 12th (two days later) positively assert, as we noticed yesterday, that no such event had taken place.
We have received American papers and letters to the 27th last month. A letter from Boston, of the 23d, is written under the full conviction that no war would result from the impediment to the negotiation, and observes, that the ultimate arrangement must be suspended until the arrival of Mr. Jackson, as, under the present circumstances, the government could not renew the discussions with Mr. Eustis, both from motives of delicacy to him, and from the proper respect to its own character and dignity.
THIRTIETH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, July 30.
The 9th army, which was commanded by the prince of Ponte Corvo, was disbanded on the 8th inst. The Saxons, who formed a part of it, are under the command of gen. Reymen. The prince of Ponte Corvo is gone to use the waters. In the battle of Wagram, the village of that name was carried on the 6th, between 10 and 11 o'clock, and the glory of this successful enterprise is due to the corps of marshal Oudinot.
The house of Austria took the field this campaign with 62 regiments of the line, 12 regiments of cavalry, 12 regiments of grenadiers, four free corps or legion, making in the whole 310,000 men; 150 battalions militia (landwehr) commanded by ancient officers, exercised 10 months; 40,000 men of the Hungarian insurrection, and 50,000 horse artillery, and miners, composing in the whole from 5 to 600,000 men. With this force the house of Austria supposed
herself to be sure of victory. She entertained a hope of shaking the power of France, if ever her whole force were united. But her armies are now, notwithstanding strength, while the French army has been increased to double the number it consisted of at Ratisbon.
In the castle of Gratz, twenty pieces of ordinance have been found.
The castle of Sachenborg, situated on the frontiers of the Tyrol, has surrendered to general Rusco.
The duke of Dantzic has entered Tyrol with 25,000 men. He has occupied Loretz and disarmed all the inhabitants; he must by this time be at Inspruck.
General Thielman has entered Dresden.
The duke of Abrantes is in Bayreuth, and has pushed his advanced guard to the frontiers of Bohemia.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 6.
Arrived, brig Little Cherub, Johnson, 18 days from St. Kitts. There was a very heavy gale at St. Kitts the 8th September, in which the brig Friendship, Andrews, of New-York, went ashore, and two schooners—the remaining vessels went to sea with the loss of cables and anchors, as did the Little Cherub from Sandy Point—only one schooner, (the Roby, Anthony, of Rhode-Island) which lost her anchor, rode out the gale. It was reported at St. Kitts, that a French fleet of two 74's and four frigates had arrived at Guadaloupe—markets glutted. The English cruisers take all American vessels they can find, if they have only two barrels of sugar or a barrel of coffee. Several were at Bassaterre when I sailed, waiting trial. September 22, lat. 25, long. 66, spoke schooner Weymouth, Wintlessey, 10 days from Philadelphia for Porto-Rico. Oct. 2, Cape May bearing N. N. W. 15 leagues, spoke ship Orion, 2 days from Norfolk for Hamburg.
SAVANNAH, Sept. 14.
The sloop Margaret, from New-Orleans, has been lately wrecked, consisting of Thomas Rainhard, captain; C. Benson, mate; William Foster and Samuel Smith, seamen, together with Mr. George W. Waren, passenger: have been imprisoned by order of the governor of Louisiana, owing to their being Americans and from N. Orleans, the governor having heard of the arrival of the troops at that place, and being under some apprehension of them. The cargo of the vessel, which was somewhat damaged has been suffered to spoil and to be stolen. The crew had been confined fifty five days on the 20th July, and strictly watched by a guard of eight or ten soldiers. All their books and papers were withheld from them: they were denied the privilege of the town, or of conversing together, and compelled to pay a dollar a day for the most miserable food.
The memorandum from which this is taken, is dated "Laguirra prison, July 20, 1809," and concludes thus—"written by deceiving the guards, who see me suppose me to be copying from a book open before." No prospect of a release or a mitigation of the severity of their confinement yet presented itself.

PIRACY AND MURDER!
The following Circular has been forwarded by the Collector of Boston, to the Collectors of the respective ports in the United States.
Boston, Sept. 27, 1809.
To the Collector of Boston; the purpose is to request of you that, should the vessel below described enter your port, or pass into your neighborhood, she may be detained, the persons on board taken into custody, and immediate information forwarded to me, or to General Dearborn; — said vessel having been forcibly taken possession of by the persons below described, two of the crew killed, and the captain compelled to leap into the sea.
I am, Sir, your most obt. servt. W. S. SKINNER, Pro Consul.
Schooner THREE SISTERS, a remarkable stern schooner, no cabin windows; has a yellow streak fore and aft; from the peak of the quarter deck to the stern a yellow streak; no mouldings round the stern, but painted yellow in imitation of mouldings. She is registered in Halifax, owned by Messrs. Jonathan and John Tremain, Boston; 6 3/4 tons; John Stairs, master. The signatures to the register, are, Thos. J. Jefferys, collector, I. Slater, comptroller, and James Grant, deputy naval officer. She has her clearance from Gaspe, or Peter, in the province of Lower Canada, signed by Hugh O'Hara, deputy collector. The people left on board were, Edward Jordan, a man about 33 years of age, dark complexion, black hair, and a very backward of an innocent appearance. John Kelley, mate, about 22 or 23 years of age, 5 feet 3 or 4 inches high, very much pitted with the small pox, will probably pass as master of the vessel. Edward Jordan had his wife and four children on board, one of the boys, a boy about 8 or nine years of age, and the oldest girl very much disfigured by a burn on her back and her right arm.
The above act of Piracy and murder was committed on the 13th ult. on the eastern coast of Nova Scotia, and within a few days of Halifax, where the vessel was bound. At an unguarded moment, while the captain and one of the hands were in the cabin, the aforementioned Jordan, having first captured the mate, Kelly, and secured the mate, discharged a pistol down the sky light of the cabin, which wounded him and killed the mate who was with him. The captain then ran on deck just in time to see the stroke given to his only remaining man, who fell dead on the deck. He was then seized by Jordan and his wife, and a pistol attempted to be fired at him, which flashed, and in the struggle was thrown overboard. Kelly at this time was seizing another pistol; which the captain, seeing while engaged with Jordan and his wife, by great exertion disengaged himself, and seizing the hatch threw it over and jumped upon it. As it blew very hard he was soon clear of the vessel, and remained in the water about 3 hours, when providentially fallen in with the sch'r Kite, of Hingham, capt. Stoddard, who took him up when nearly exhausted by cold and literally insensible. From capt. Stoddard he received the most humane treatment, and every attention necessary to his recovery and subsequent comfort.
[Boston paper.]
We have received (says the Richmond Enquirer) New Orleans papers, to September 8, inclusive—the only article of any importance is the following
GENERAL ORDERS.
HEAD-QUARTERS. Terre aux Bœuf, Aug. 27, 1809. The main body of the troops being under orders of march for the upper country; a promotion of the public service, and the security of the capital of the territory of Louisiana, induce the general to adopt the following arrangements, which are to take immediate effect:
Major MacRea being especially instructed by the secretary of war to superintend the erection of the fortifications of the river and bayou St. John's, will be relieved from the command of the garrison of New Orleans, and is to confine his authority to the barrier ports of the English Turn and the Iberville, which he is immediately to turn over to captain Cook's company. He will be held responsible for the progress of the works of those places, and the conduct
and safety of the garrisons, which are to be reinforced under his orders from the garrison of New Orleans, should he find it necessary. But as the frequent shifting of command from hand to hand, tends to destroy responsibility, the vital spring of military efficiency, and to produce collisions, destructive of the public interests, major MacRea is not to interfere with the command of New Orleans but in extreme cases, grounded on external attacks or interior commotions. The interest and the importance of the duties imposed on major MacRea, and his responsibility for the ports below, make it impossible for him to give that minute attention and incessant vigilance to the command of New Orleans, which are deemed necessary under the circumstances of the moment, nor does his rank give him a title under the existing distribution of the troops, to so extensive a command. Therefore, major Pike, with his corps of infantry, will relieve major MacRea, who will turn over to major Pike the public property of every species in his charge, for which he is to take triplicate receipts."
Extract of a letter from a commercial house in Naples, to a gentleman in Boston, dated August 10.
"IT is a long time since circumstances have been such as to induce us to address you our COMMERCIAL ADVICES.—Indeed, could we even have supposed them interesting to you, such has been the state of politics that it would have been difficult to find means for their conveyance.

Kite, Thompson, from Baltimore, with Martinique coffee; schooner Liberty, Atkins, from Chatham, with codfish; sch'r. Hamilton, Brown, from New York and Tunis, with Java coffee; schooner Joanna, Hassam, from Salem, with pepper and a few hhds. rum and tobacco; brig Caroline, Drew, from Boston, and schooner Shadow, Matthews, from Philadelphia. All, excepting the Joanna, to our consignment.
"The four first came here voluntarily; the two others were brought in by a French privateer; being cleared for, and in fact bound to Messina. The Kite was boarded on entering the harbor, and taken possession of by one of the king's gun-boats.—Our government at first hesitated to admit these vessels to free entry, and to the remonstrances we made on the subject, we received for answer that his majesty had no communications either from the government of the United States or that of France, relative to the navigation of Americans, he reserved to himself to consult with the emperor before he decided on the subject. In due course of time, the Kite was set at liberty, and his majesty determined at the same time as a general measure, that all Americans coming with direct clearances, without having been boarded by British cruizers, and bringing regular certificates of the friendly origin of their cargoes, should be freely admitted into the ports of this kingdom. Pursuant to this resolution the other vessels have also been permitted to transact their business, with the exception of the Caroline and Shadow, whose fate must be decided at Paris.
"It must be considered that produce cannot be imported from hence into the French empire, and that there was every reason to expect further arrivals. Very probably an English expedition, which has been off the coast, and had taken possession of two of our islands at the entrance of the bay, (which however, have since been again evacuated) may have turned away many vessels that were coming here. Prices have, in consequence, sustained, tho' a report which existed for some time, that a treaty had already been signed between France and the United States, kept things in a calm.
"All at once they now write from Paris, that the negotiations are broken off, and even that general Armstrong has demanded his passports.
"We know not what degree of credit this information deserves. Certain it is, however, that orders have, in consequence, come on, to buy up all the produce in the place, which has of course, caused an advance, as you will perceive by the inclosed price current. Appearances are from one day to another so contradictory, that it is impossible to hazard an opinion what we are to look for.
"The above resolution of his Neapolitan majesty continues at present in force here; but we must in all probability, expect our
situation to be more or less affected by what will be the actual result of the negotiations between your government and France.
"We have just dispatched the American brig Fitzwilliam, Wilson, from Gallipoli, with a cargo of oil. She at first experienced obstacles to her loading, owing to the custom-house exacting bonds to the amount of the cargo, to produce certificates of its being landed at the port cleared for. We had in consequence, to recur to the king, and, after much trouble, obtained a general decree, by which these bonds are to be no longer exacted—and vessels may thus load freely with destination for a friendly port."
NAPLES, July 1, 1809.
THE MINISTER OF FINANCES, TO THE
President of the Chamber of Commerce. I have the pleasure to advise the chamber of commerce, that his majesty, in consequence of my last report to him, has decided that all the American ships coming directly to this kingdom, with a positive destination for its ports, shall be there freely admitted, provided they be furnished with the necessary certificates of origin of their cargoes, and of the correspondent papers of navigation in due form, and provided they will not be found infringing the royal decrees of the 20th December, 1806, and 9th January, 1808, relative to the English commerce, and of neutral powers; which decrees must be observed in their full vigor.
I am persuaded that the commerce will experience in such a disposition a new proof of the interest his majesty takes for it, and that it will reap the advantage of this singular benefit.

The following communication, relative to the late extraordinary news from Baltimore, we have received from a correct source.
(N. Y. Gaz.)
An explanation of the Baltimore news from Spain.
No battle could have been fought near Seville, even if the whole English and Spanish armies under Wellesley, Cuesta and Vanegas, had been destroyed, as the army of reserve can defend the passes of Sierra Morena for a considerable time; and till the French force them, they cannot approach Seville. If a battle had taken place any where near the Tagus, it would be known in Gibraltar in three days at furthest. A skirmish took place near the bridge of Del Arzobispo, on the Tagus, about the 18th August, between an advanced body of the French and Bassecoeur's division, who at first suffered, but were relieved by the duke of Albuquerque at the head of three regiments of cavalry, and the French driven back. General Cuesta had demanded several times within 4 or 5 months from the Junta, that he might be permitted to give up the command of the army, on account of his extreme old age and ill health, originating from too great fatigue. He has now a seat at the general junta, where his talents and patriotism will be very useful to his suffering country. Several members of the junta had returned to their provinces, their term of service having expired, and two or three obnoxious members had been obliged to resign.
Romana has been recalled, partly on account of his having behaved too violently in Asturias, and interfering with the privileges of the Asturians, and to make way for the Count de Norona, captain general of Galicia, and the conqueror of Ney at St. Payio, who now commands the northern army. Sir Arthur Wellesley has received the command of Cuesta's army, by the desire of the army and nation.—The Spanish general retired at Algeziras is Castanos.—The Junta have declared the embassy to the United States next in rank to that of England. Mr. Erving our charge des affaires, is in high credit with them.

VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE,
Distant 23 miles from Georgetown and Alexandria, 19 miles from Occoquan Mills, and twenty from Dumfries, and within two miles and a half of the Little River Turnpike Road. It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excellent, and, to a grazier especially, would be a source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy. This land is decidedly benefitted by the plaster of Paris. On it is a very good site for a mill, the stream being one of the most constant in that part of the country. There are about 800 acres in wood, heavily timbered. The improvements are, a dwelling house newly fitted up, consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets, three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cellar, a kitchen, corn house, meat house and stables. Likewise the overseer's house, one in each county, with other necessary houses or negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neighborhood.

JUST RECEIVED,
For sale ONLY by JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King street,
The following highly valuable Medicines,
Price 3 dollars per bottle.
Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated throughout Great-Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their 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.
Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

Attention to Fortune Hunters,
And Possession will be given immediately—any day.
I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 8 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription.
Together with an insurance office.
There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel.
The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE
YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after which a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine with warm or cold water.
