RANAWAY, from the subscriber, last night, a mulatto man, named ANDREW, sometimes called Andrew Johnson, about 40 years of age, he is a middling bright mulatto, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, spare made, thin face, woolly head, a little inclined to hair, small ear, small eye brows and lashes, thin lips for a person of color, small beard, a spot on the inside of his left arm, and a little above the elbow are two small scars about an inch apart—he is a very smart active fellow, and can do almost any kind of work—he is excessively fond of liquor and will seldom be sober if he can get it, and when drunk is very stupid.

He has a wife at Mrs. Fendall's farm in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Alexandria, where it is probable he may be harbored by her at night, and skulk about the neighboring woods through the day.

EDWIN IN DISTRESS.
EACH flattering hope of bliss is past, Which love sincere, or fancy feigns, My dawn of life is overcast, And not one cheering ray remains.
Ah! not one cheering ray to guide Adown life's vale my wearied feet, Nor FRIEND to stem misfortunes' tide, Nor LOVE to make life's labor sweet.
Thus dispossess'd of all that's dear, O say, sweet MARY, how shall I This burden of affliction bear! With pain I live, yet dare not die—
Till he who in his wisdom gave This vital breath, shall it once more resume, And in the dark oblivious grave, Myself, my follies, and my grief entomb.
From the Connecticut Mirror.
A brief history of political parties in the U. States, may be of some use in estimating the character of those who pretend to be the real, and almost the exclusive friends of the country.
When the constitution was formed, and offered to the states for their adoption, it met with strong opposition from various quarters, by a party who were from that opposition, called anti-federalists. Among these, were Thomas Jefferson, Geo. Clinton, Elbridge Gerry, and a considerable number of others who have since figured on the stage of politics, as the great friends of that very constitution, and of the people whose affairs were to be regulated by it—Opposed to them, and in favor of the constitution, were George Washington, John Jay, Oliver Ellsworth, Charles C. Pinckney, Alexander Hamilton, Rufus King, and the multitude of distinguished names, by whose labor it was formed, adopted, and conducted, for 12 years, and who composed the heads of the party, which, from the uniformity known by the name of federalists. This party have been uniform, and unchangeable in their political conduct. Gen. Washington was their illustrious leader; and in the path which he pointed out, they have steadily proceeded.
When Genet made his entry into the U. States, as the envoy of the bloody revolutionists of France, he found it expedient to mould the old anti-federalists into a different shape, in order to create a French influence amongst us. For this purpose, in imitation of his countrymen at home, he organized Jacobin Clubs at Philadelphia, N. York, Boston, &c. &c. established a scheme of intercourse and co-operation, which, in its progress, bid fair to control the public affairs of the nation. One great object in view, by the formation of these clubs, was to produce a union and conformity of opinion among the party. Although public indignation soon frowned these associations into nominal silence, yet the important consequence which I have mentioned was effected. The minds of the party throughout the United States, were soon drilled into perfect discipline, and they thought, spoke and acted, only as they were directed by their superiors.
After a constant and vehement attack on the federalists for a succession of years, and under the eye and direction of Mr. Jefferson, they gave way, and the government passed into the hands of those who opposed its formation, and adoption. Those who were at first called anti-federalists, and secondly, democrats, became the ruling party, and were entrusted by the people of the country with the charge and management of that constitution with which they had, from the first, been in a state of hostility. Thomas Jefferson was chosen president, and Aaron Burr vice president. As soon as the fact was ascertained, public rejoicings were made wherever people enough to make a frolic could be collected, and the party gave thanks to something for their success. Their two 'illustrious' leaders were flattered and idolized, in the most extravagant and fulsome manner. From the time the result of the election was known, until the votes were counted in congress, the tide of popularity and glory, set with equal strength towards the two candidates. But upon discovering that the electors had bestowed up-
on both an equal number of votes, it became necessary for the house of representatives to determine, which should mount the presidential chair. The federal members having the greatest dread of Jefferson, gave their votes to Burr, and for several days it was a matter of doubt whether the former, after all his pains, would reach the object of his ambition.
Eventually he succeeded, but Burr, for suffering himself to be placed in competition with the popular idol, was instantly marked for that destruction, which has since overtaken him. Those persons, who a few days before were his warm admirers and panegyrists, became transformed into implacable foes and calumniators; and he has been dogged by them from step to step, till he has become "a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth." Mr. Jefferson, however, retained his popularity, was elected president the second time, and had for his colleague, George Clinton, another one of the anti-federal party. Although far advanced in life, still he was young enough for vice president, and the party praised him much for his revolutionary services, and for his general patriotism. This lasted near the expiration of the second 4 years of Mr. Jefferson's presidential life, when he had concluded not to be elected the third time, it became necessary to determine on a successor. In a moment Mr. Clinton became too old for the place. For vice president, indeed, he might answer again; but as for president, it required a young Virginian. Accordingly, Clinton was decried, and Madison elected.
A schism was produced by this state of things, among the friends of Clinton, not only in the country at large, but even in the state of New-York. His old companions, those who had grown grey in the political career with him, turned their backs upon him, and threw their influence into the Madisonian scale. And at the present moment, the rancor of party spirit is no where in a more unmixed state, than in New-York, among those who two years ago were genuine Clintonians.
In Virginia also, although those who formerly composed the Jeffersonian party, agreed in one point, viz. that the successor of Mr. Jefferson should be a Virginian, yet they divided on the candidate, some being for Madison, and some for Monroe. Both of these men had been favorites with the democrats: but when they both set their faces for the presidential throne, "part of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath to make him king, and part followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned."—Monroe, in his native state, the legislature of which, on his return from Europe a short time before, complimented his virtues and talents in warm terms, was able to draw off only a moderate portion of the people, and had no other comfort from the contest, than that of being outstripped in the chase of office by his rival, aided by the efforts of his own hollow hearted friends and admirers. That state has, it is true, a Monroe party, and a Madison party, both of them formed of the lineal descendants of the ancient anti-federal party.
From this cursory view of the United States, let us for a moment view the situation of some of the individual states. About the time of Mr. Jefferson's first election to the presidency, the Pennsylvania democrats, after a great struggle, seated Mr. McKean in the office of governor. During the preparation for the election, this gentleman was extolled for his virtues and his patriotism, to the democratic heavens, by all the presses, and leaders of the party. He was scarcely elected before he lost the favor of the principal characters among them; and though he was re-elected as long as the constitution admitted, it was by the greatest exertions. His former friends in great numbers, became his bitterest enemies—Simon Snyder was hunted up among the multitude to be his rival, and with the utmost difficulty was McKean able to hold his ground. As soon as he left the office, Snyder stepped forward, and carried the election with a high hand, his majority exceeded all example.
It is not a year since Simon has had a legitimate claim to the title of excellency, and he has been for more than six months of the time the subject of the most incessant and scurrilous abuse from the very men that held the stirrup for him to mount. Duane reviles this clod-hopping governor for the want of talents: Michael Lieb, and others join the hue and cry; while Binns, and another section, insist upon it, that Leib and Duane are little better than villains, and that governor Snyder is the most excellent of men—or at least of governors. And this patriotic party, thus divided in the middle, are preparing with all imaginable alacrity, for a most tremendous conflict in an
election, which is to take place two years hence. As a sample of what may be expected when the campaign fairly opens, it may be mentioned, that at an electioneering meeting a few days ago, or nights ago, preparatory to the choice of the members of the legislature, in or near Philadelphia, the Snyderites and the Leibites, got together by the ears, and in the opinion of Duane, by their boxing and bruising, republicanista was disgraced.
Nor has it in any respect fared better with the party in the state of New York. The old anti-federalists, headed by George Clinton, formed a strong body there for a number of years. During the time that Mr. Jay was governor, and federalism was in vogue, they clung close together with much apparent cordiality. But when the Clintonians resumed the reigns of state, and a younger race commenced their political career, the seeds of discord began to sprout among the brotherhood. Governor Clinton was called away to fill the office of vice president, and Morgan Lewis was nominated as his successor. The Clintonians joined in extolling his virtues and his talents in the most extravagant manner. He was elected; and calumniated by the very persons who procured him his place—and after enduring reproach, and obloquy for a considerable portion of this three years, was denounced as altogether unfit for the place. The party split; a young man of the name of Tompkins was run against him in the gubernatorial race; every nerve was strained by the Clintonians on the one hand, and by the Lewisites on the other—each candidate was in turn loaded with contumely, and billingsgate—but victory declared in favor of the new comer, and Lewis was thrown aside as but little better than a broken potsherd. If any man would wish to make himself acquainted with the unadulterated elements of party malice and vengeance, he may introduce himself to Dewitt Clinton, Ambrose Spencer, Tunis Wortman, &c. of New-York.
This detail might be much more extensively pursued, if it were thought expedient. Wherever the party has become strong, it has almost immediately divided and broken. And when the sections have been brought into conflict, nothing can exceed the bitterness of their contention. It is much to be doubted, greatly as they profess to dislike federalism, whether they would not prefer mixing with it, rather than to unite with their subdivisions. Perhaps there are no two presses in the United States, which attack each other with more undissimulated hatred, than the Centinel and the Democratic Press , in Philadelphia. The former is the champion of Leibism, the latter of Snyderism. In short, look where you will, where democracy prevails, and you will find dissention and reproach, scurrility and oppugnation, and occasionally broken heads and bloody noses.
Is it not a little strange, that the people in New-York and Pennsylvania who have been witnesses to these things, can possibly believe that the views of men who are thus embroiling and disgracing the country, are directed in any measure to their good? After having tried McKean, and Snyder, Clinton, Lewis, and Tompkins, and been disappointed in them all, what reason have they to expect better things from Leib and Duane, Dewitt Clinton, Ambrose Spencer, or Tunis Wortman? If they would use the smallest particle of common sense, they could not but know, that these men are struggling for power and profit; that instead of consulting the general good, they are in pursuit of their own; that when once they attain their object, it is manifest that they despise those who promoted them; and that all the profit, as well as the honor flows directly away from the people and into the clutches of the demagogue who flatters them.
It would not only be wasting time, but degrading federalism, to compare it with this shuffling, splitting, backbiting, slanderous party. The steadiness of its conduct, the patriotism of its counsels, the dignity of its character, will form its eulogy, and first or last, will be acknowledged by the country. At present the people are learning by experience, the difference between men who flatter and betray them, and men, who, from honest and enlarged minds, are the real friends of the freedom and the best interests of the nation.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
ESCAPE FROM FRANCE.
Mr. Ellison's recital of his singular escape from the prisons of France.
LIVERPOOL, July 31, 1809. "As you wish to know how I effected my escape, I shall give you the heads of it—Last July a friend and myself determined
to give the rascals the slip; but as both of us were entered into an engagement with a more to our commandant to be responsible for each other, and that, if one ran away the other should be imprisoned, to get clear of that, we missed muster one morning on purpose to get imprisoned, which succeeded. We had ropes round our bodies; saws, gimblets, &c. in our hats; and at twelve that night worked our way out, though surrounded with centinels. We got close to one, where we thought there had not been any; he hailed us and we scoured off. He must have been a young recruit, for he did not give the alarm; and we got down the wall. The rope was so small we could not hold it, and both of us fell 50 feet; I was sadly hurt about the loins; and fainted as soon as I reached the wall (where we had previously stowed our provisions). My companion strained his ankle, and we stopped in the wood four days till he was able to march. We were taken the thirteenth day, going through a small town at eleven at night, and conducted back to Verdun, where they kept me, hands and feet in irons for seven days; and then sent us off to Bitche, which is a most dreadful place; and where they kept us in general under ground. It is a strong fort built upon an amazing high rock, surrounded at the bottom by three different high ramparts, the rock is entirely hollowed out, and capable of containing the whole garrison if besieged. After being there a little time we made interest with the commandant to live above ground; and no sooner got possession of a room up stairs, than we began to scheme how to get out of it. There were 12 of us: we first began manufacturing a rope, which we made out of a new linen cloth that we got from town; we then got a friend who resided there to get us a good gimblet; and on the 8th of December, forced both locks on our chamber door, and cut through another one with the above instrument; and all of us got clear of the fort before 8 o'clock, the time the additional centinels are put on. It snowed and blew very hard, and was most terribly cold. We lay the next day in the snow; and at night started again, and got within two leagues of the Rhine by day-light. It had frozen severely in the night, and was so terribly cold it would have killed us to have stopped that day in the woods; we therefore got into a barn and lay very snug till 4 o'clock, when a pair of lovers coming in to enjoy themselves discovered us and gave the alarm; we got clear of them, but they roused the whole country; and at ten that night we were surrounded by fifty or sixty peasants; two of us escaped their clutches by going different ways, but were both taken a few hours afterwards. I was just stepping into a boat on the Rhine, when two custom-house officers got hold of me, and dragged me to my unfortunate companions; we were five of us in our party; the rest went different ways, and four of them got safe home. We were conducted back to the place we had left a little time after we were sent to Metz handcuffed two and two, and then chained all in a string, so short that we had scarcely room to walk. We were sent there as a evidence for the gendarme who was upon guard the night we started; we acquitted him; and were twenty days travelling in that uncomfortable manner. In coming back we passed through the depot of Surs-Libre, where I got a friend to buy me a gimblet, being determined either to escape or break my neck. The day we arrived at Bitche we were all clapped into a cachot about 40 feet under ground. We had a guard bed to lay upon, as the bottom was covered with water about six inches deep. After staying there three days, we had it made known to the commandant that it was impossible for men to exist in that damp place. He ordered us into a room up stairs in the same building; we had three doors locked upon us, a double row of iron bars before the window, and a centinel placed over us; however we resolved to make an attempt by cutting thro' the ceiling. We cut up our sheets, blankets, shirts and towels, of which we made a rope 130 feet long; and on the 11th of February at six o'clock, began, and at three in the morning accomplished the business. The floor we cut through was 2 1-2 inch oak. When we got there we found two windows without bars, that looked two different ways; it rained very hard, and we saw the centinel in his box at the side from that we intended to descend, and all got safe out of the building, over two ramparts, when, to our great astonishment, we found a third, which we understood had not gone round that side of the fort: it was about 25 feet, and we had no rope for it; we all dropped safe, except the last, who broke his leg; the rest of us separated, but met again at Saltzburg. There were two with me. We slept in the woods by day, and travelled by night through a woody mountainous country. We took provisions along

with us; and on the 7th day crossed the Rhine, which cost us thirteen guineas; we then had only nine left. We crossed Baden, Wirtemberg, and Bavaria, without passports, slept in the small villages at night, and went round all the towns, some of which we found great difficulty in rounding—however, on the 19th day we arrived at Salzburg, and got our passports for Trieste. One of my companions was entirely knocked up; we gave him all the money we could spare to follow us in the diligence: and we got that night on foot, and arrived at Trieste the 7th day, a distance of 260 English miles; and which the natives told us had never been done before in so short a time. We got a passage in an Austrian brig to Malta, then obtained a passage in his majesty's bomb Lucifer, landed in Plymouth, and arrived in Liverpool in three months and seventeen days.

SPANISH AMBASSADOR.
Doubts have been suggested whether Mr. Onis, the Spanish minister, will be accredited by our government; and it is impossible any occurrence can excite greater astonishment. Have we not already received consuls from the junta as the representatives of Ferdinand the 7th? Have we not a charge des affaires at Seville? Do we not acknowledge the authority of the junta when Mr. Irvin has officially negotiated with them for a restitution of property seized under the decrees of France and for an abatement of their former maritime laws? Will our government deny these advantages have been obtained? They cannot, and to reject an ambassador under such facts would be ingratitude and injustice. The argument relied upon by the French faction for refusing Mr. Onis is, that we know not who the Spanish nation consider as their king! Pitiful, pusillanimous subterfuge! In whose name are armies organized? Who do the generals and magistrates obey? Who is acknowledged through all South America and the Spanish islands? Who receives and pays away the money from Vera Cruz? The junta in the name of Ferdinand, and none other! How then, in the name of Heaven, can we doubt "who the Spanish nation consider their lawful king?" Mr. President Madison, be not seduced from the plain highway into a devious, thorny wilderness! If the Junta of Spain was the government to receive our Mr. Ervine, and has done us justice at your request (and this is not denied) to reject Mr. Onis, or even to hesitate in the present crisis, stamps our government with inconsistency, our nation with ingratitude, and leaves the world at liberty to decide upon your motives.
The French faction have undertaken to call this embassy from the Junta as an insult to perplex our government, contrived by the British; and if they had sent none, these disturbers of the public peace would be no less clamorous at the neglect—no less vindictive in the cause of it. The truth is, this minister coming here disconcerts the French party exceedingly, because, if the British have an ascendancy over the junta, it proves their liberality in permitting a friendly intercourse to old and new Spain, and giving us a share in the trade which they could easily monopolize! It is, in short a fact in evidence, which overturns at once all the mass of assertions that the British want to engross the whole commerce of the world.
But to the policy of receiving Mr. Onis—For the sake of argument I will suppose old Spain conquered, what follows? The Junta, the nobility, and a vast emigration will go to South America, and there establish an independent government. Will a friendly trade with these people be desirable? or do we wish to enter upon a quarrel, and hazard Orleans, Louisiana and the navigation of the Mississippi? To my mind the reception Mr. Onis meets with decides these important consequences.

COOPER'S POINT, (New-Jersey) September 18, 1808.
RESPECTED FRIENDS,
I have herewith given the method I use in making WINE from the native grape. I gather the bunches of grapes when fully ripe, and dry; separate rotten or unripe from the good, (the former may be distilled for brandy.) For making the wine I open the cider or apple-mill so as not to mash the stems or seeds, then run the grapes though it to break all the berries; let the mashed fruit stand in a tight vessel ten or twelve hours, then lap it in clean straw, first made damp on the cider press floor, and press the juice out as clean as possible; then take off the pumice, moisten it with water, let it stand as above and press it again; add the liquor to the other, then add sugar are able to the acidity of the grape. I have found from half to one pound to a gallon to be sufficient; and the white Havannah sugar the best. When the sugar is dissolved put it in a cask for fermentation, fill it night and morning to work out the filth; when it discharges a clear white froth check the fermentation gradually by putting the bung in slack, tighten it gradually till in a tranquil
state, then wrack it into a clean cask or return it into the same after rinsing it with gravel and water. I find it best to put into the cask a pint or a pint and a half of good French or apple brandy to each gallon of the cask's contents, then fill it about one fourth full of wine, burn a sulphur match suspended in the bunghole and stop while burning; after which shake it well to incorporate the smoke and liquor; then fill the cask, if a sufficient quantity; if not, fill it with what is filtered from the lees, which is done by suspending it in a bag made of linen or flannel in the form of a cream strainer, over a broad vessel, returning it as it runs until it drops clear. The liquor thus procured from the lees improves the other as its flatness assists in tranquilizing it. In about a month it should be racked again, and I find letting it dribble or pass slowly through the atmosphere into an open vessel assists in giving it the quality of age. I have repeated the racking several times and find benefit from it. Wine made in the above way generally fines itself, if not may be fined as other wines.
Taking into consideration with what ease and expedition grapes and vines may be propagated to advantage, the great expence and uncertainty of being supplied from foreign countries and the base and dangerous practice of adulteration by many of vendors of wine, I am induced to urge the propagation of native grape vines, especially in such places as shades are wanted: as they may be placed and trained in such manner as fancy or convenience may direct, answer better for shades than trees, and if placed on horizontal arbors between the first and second stories of houses, will not obstruct air or prospect and is the most favorable situation for the production, quality, and protection of the fruit.
Experience has convinced me that the best kind of our native grapes are the most proper to plant and cultivate in our country, as they are proof against the severest winters, are not so subject to blast or rot on the vines as foreign grapes, and if placed in a situation where they can have the full benefit of soil, sun and air, spread on horizontal arbors and properly trained every spring, their production and quality will exceed the expectation of any who have not seen it tried. As there is in the U. S. numbers of persons from countries where the best of wines are made in abundance, many of them must have a thorough knowledge of the business. I hope some of them will favour the public with an account of the process. Mine must be imperfect as it is only experimental.

ISLAND OF CUBA,
CLOSED AGAINST FOREIGNERS. Copy of a letter to the editors of the Balt. Federal Republican, dated
"HAVANNA, 29th Sept. 1809.
Enclosed you have a copy of the order mentioned yesterday, which I hope you will make public for the government of our country nen.
[Translated for the Federal Republican.] Their Lordships the Governor and Captain General and Intendant of the army and royal revenue of this island, by a resolution of yesterday, have determined upon the fulfilment of the royal orders of the 10th July last, whereby provision is made for the fulfilment of what is decreed by the laws of the Indies, respecting the exclusion of foreign merchant vessels from the ports of the Indies: which is communicated to the public.
ISLA.
Havanna, Sept. 27, 1809.
Communicated for the Federal Republican. SEVILLE, 26th July, 1809.
Under date of the 14th inst. the following Royal Order was communicated to the Intendant sub-delegates of Rents, and captain-general.
The Supreme Junta of the kingdom, keeping in view the means to contribute to the alleviation and to provide for the subsistence of the unfortunate Spanish subjects compelled to inhabit the places occupied by the enemies, and wishing to combine the interest of said persons with those trafficking with our colonies, notwithstanding the orders issued to cut off all communication or commerce with places occupied by the enemies, to permit sugar, cocoa and bark, may be remitted to said places and sold there with the conditions, that such clearances shall be given only to persons exhibiting TESTIMONY OF PATRIOTISM, who shall be subjected to an examination and search; to avoid their conveying letters and papers prejudicial to the just cause defended by the nation, or any other goods besides those expressed in their clearances.
Our former orders remain in full vigor and force for all other articles, excepting those of sugar, cocoa and bark.
We understand that the Spanish envoy, Don Onis, left Baltimore yesterday morning for Washington. We learn that he will certainly be refused a reception. (Fed. Rep. Oct. 17.)
Departed this life yesterday, after a lingering illness which he bore with truly christian fortitude, Mr. SAMUEL SIMMONS in the 71st year of his age, a respectable inhabitant of this place.
His friends and acquaintance are invited to attend his funeral from his late dwelling this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant Fevers,
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee and Son.—This is necessary, as there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thousands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life without the least inconvenience or danger.
They are admirably adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore the appetite, produce a regular habit of the body, promote free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thousands, and seldom, if ever, fail to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Habitual costiveness, and its opposite, are removed by their wholesome influence, as also those diseases arising from them, headaches and sickness at the stomach.
It is almost unnecessary to state, that on the regular habit of the system, the health of mankind depends. To conduct to this all-important object, perhaps no medicine was ever more generally successful than these pills: they never do harm , and at least nine times out of ten afford relief to those who use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
With the most perfect confidence we recommend these pills to the public, and will only further add, that their operation is always pleasant, and that they leave nothing of that costiveness behind them too often attending medicines designed for similar purposes.
Ten years have justified us in stating these facts, during which we have had a very extensive and constantly encreasing sale for this truly valuable medicine.
To the Ladies,
Whose faces and complexions are injured with Freckles, Pimples, Black Worms, Tan or Ayburn, Ringworms, Prickly Heat, &c.
To those persons is recommended
Lee's Persian Lotion,
A certain remedy for removing those disagreeable barriers to beauty, the proprietors with the most sacred regard to truth, and the credit of those medicines, assure the afflicted that all the different appearances above enumerated, are in a short time subdued by wetting the parts affected, with this pleasant fluid, according to the directions on each bottle.
Persons therefore who regard, either what is due to themselves, or the favor and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between the comeliness of health, and the deformity of disease, and who can weigh the advantages which belong to and are inseparable from an engaging appearance, to which perhaps they themselves, have by nature, the strongest claims, are seriously assured these advantages so far as belong to a good skin, are to be obtained by the use of his Lotion, however violently they may happen to be afflicted.
Instead of the studious and debilitating courses of medicines which patients went through formerly, and which perhaps they are still too frequently obliged to undergo, it is now found that the greatest number of these complaints are most certainly & speedily removed by the use of local remedies merely, than they ever were by a contrary course.
LEE'S LOTION
Is celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin, of every kind, it operates mildly without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is so essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Sold at the Bookstore.
The article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
RICHARD LEE & SON.
Persons not attending to the above, are liable to be imposed upon.

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.
