RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work" British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commented, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

AN ACT
To enforce and make more effectual an act, entitled, "An act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels, in the ports and harbors of the United States," and the several acts supplementary thereto.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That if any person or persons shall put, place, or load on board any ship, vessel, boat or water craft, or into any cart, waggon, sled or other carriage or vehicle, with or without wheels, any specie, goods, wares or merchandise, with intent to export, transport or convey the same without the United States or the territories thereof, to any foreign place, kingdom or country with intent to convey the same on board any foreign ship within or without the limits of the U. States or the territories thereof, to any foreign place, kingdom or country, or with intent to convey the same on board any foreign ship or vessel within or without the limits of the United States, or with the intent in any other manner to evade the acts to which this act is a supplement, all such specie, goods, wares and merchandise and also the ship, vessel, boat, water craft, cart, waggon, sled, or other carriage or vehicle, on board, or in which the same may be so put, placed, or loaded as aforesaid, shall be forfeited, & the person or persons so putting, placing or loading the same as aforesaid, and also the aiders and abettors therein, shall upon conviction, be adjudged guilty of high misdemeanor, and fined a sum, by the court before which the conviction is had, equal to four times the value of such specie, goods, wares and merchandise. Provided however, That this section shall not be construed to extend to any person or persons, not being the owner or owners of such specie, goods, wares or merchandise, who shall first inform and make complaint to the collector of the district of any such offence committed within the same district; and any informer or informers not being the owner or owners as aforesaid, upon conviction of the offenders, shall be entitled to one half of the fine aforesaid, when the same shall be received by the United States, and shall be entitled to a certificate for that purpose from the court before whom the conviction shall be had.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall not be lawful to put on board any ship, vessel, or boat of any description whatever, any specie or goods, wares or merchandise, either of domestic or foreign growth, produce, or manufacture, and the same is hereby prohibited unless a permit particularly stating the articles thus to be laden shall have been previously obtained from the collector of the district in which such ship, vessel, or boat may then be, or from a revenue officer specially authorised by the collector to grant such permits; nor unless the lading shall be made under the inspection of the proper revenue officers, nor unless the owner or owners, consignee or factor of such ship, vessel, or boat shall, with the master, have given bond with one or more sureties to the U. States in a sum six times the value of the vessel and cargo, that the vessel shall not leave the port without a clearance, nor shall, when leaving the port, proceed to a foreign port or place, nor shall put any article on board of any other vessel; and that the whole cargo shall be relanded either in the port where the vessel may then be, or in such other port of the United States as shall be designated in the clearance. And it shall be lawful for the collectors of the customs to refuse permission to put any cargo on board any such ship, vessel, or boat, whenever in their opinion there is an intention to violate the embargo, or whenever they shall have received instructions to that effect by direction of the president of the United States: Provided, that nothing contained in this section shall be construed to extend to any ship, vessel, or boat, uniformly employed in the navigation only of bays, sounds, rivers and lakes, within the jurisdiction of the U. States, which shall have obtained a general permission, agreeably to the provisions in the fourth section of this act.
SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That the owner or owners, consignee or factor, of any ship, vessel, or boat, as described in the preceding section, which may, at the time when notice of this act shall be received at the several custom-houses respectively, be laden in whole or in part, shall, on notice
given by the collector, either discharge such cargo or give bond for the same, in the manner and on the conditions mentioned in the preceding section; and if the cargo shall not be discharged within ten days or the bond given within three days after such notice, the ship, vessel, or boat and cargo shall be wholly forfeited: But the collectors are hereby authorised to order or to cause the cargoes of such vessels to be discharged for the same causes as they may refuse permission to put any cargo on board of vessels not yet laden in whole or in part. And they are likewise authorised in the meanwhile, and until the cargoes shall have been discharged, or bonds given, as the case may be, to take possession of such vessels, and to take such other measures as may be necessary to prevent their departure.
SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That the collectors of the customs be and they are hereby authorised to grant, under such general instructions as the President of the United States may give to that effect, a general permission to ships, vessels, or boats, whose employment has uniformly been confined to the navigation of bays, sounds, rivers, or lakes within the jurisdiction of the United States, when it can be done without danger of the embargo being violated, to take on board at any time such articles of domestic or foreign growth as may be designated in such general permission or permissions, bond with one or more sureties being previously given to the United States by the owner, owners, consignee, or factors of such ship, vessel, or boat, and by the master thereof, in an amount equal to three hundred dollars for each ton of the said vessel, that such vessel shall not, during the time limited in the condition of the bond, depart from any district of the United States without having previously obtained a clearance, nor until the master or commander shall have delivered to the collector or surveyor of the port of departure a manifest of the whole cargo on board, that the said vessel shall not during the time above-mentioned, proceed to any other port than that mentioned in her clearance, or put any article on board of any other vessel, or be employed in any foreign trade; and that on every voyage or trip the whole of the cargo shall be landed in a port of the U. States within the bay, sound, rivers, or lakes, to which the navigation of such vessels is confined.
SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That if any ship, vessel, or boat, not having received a general permission, and a general bond not having been first given in the manner provided for in the next preceding section, shall take on board any specie, or any goods, wares, or merchandise, either of foreign or domestic growth, produce, or manufacture, contrary to the provisions of the second section of this act, such ship, vessel, or boat, together with the specie and goods, wares or merchandise, shall be wholly forfeited; and the owner or owners, agent, freighter, or factors, master or commander of such ship, vessel, or boat, shall moreover severally forfeit and pay a sum equal to the value of the ship, vessel, or boat, and of the cargo put on board of the same.
SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That the person or persons whose names do or may appear as owner or owners of any ship or vessel either on the certificate of registry, enrollment or license of any such ship or vessel, or if neither registered or licensed, on the last clearance or custom-house document issued before the passing of this act for such ship or vessel, shall be reputed as the true owner or owners of such ship or vessel and be liable to the payment of all penalties which may be incurred by the owners of such ship or vessel, by reason of any violation of any of the provisions of this act, or of the act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, or of any of the acts supplementary thereto by such ship or vessel: Provided always, That nothing in this section contained shall be construed to release any other person or persons from the payment of any penalty incurred by virtue of any of the acts aforesaid. And in case of any new register or licence being granted during the continuance of the said acts, or in case of the sale of any ship or vessel neither registered or licensed, a bond with one or more sureties to the U. States, shall, previous to the granting any such new register or licence, or to recognizing the sale of such vessel not registered or licensed, be required by the collector, in an amount equal to three hundred dollars for each ton of such ship or vessel that such ship or vessel shall not, during the continuance of the acts laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, contravene, or infringe any of the provisions of the said acts: Provided, That nothing herein contained, shall be construed to extend to the
owner or owners of any ship or vessel who shall have made a bona fide sale of such ship or vessel, in any port or harbor of the U. States, before notice of this act at such port or harbor, respectively; nor to the owner or owners of any ship or vessel, in any foreign port or place, who shall have made a bona fide sale thereof, before notice of this act: And provided also, That such bond shall not release the owners and master of such ship or vessel, or any other person from the obligation of giving every other bond required by this act or by any of the acts aforesaid.
SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That in all cases where either under this act, or under the act laying an embargo on all ships or vessels in the ports and harbors of the U. S. or under any of the acts supplementary thereto, a bond has been or shall be given to the U. S. with condition that certain goods, wares and merchandise, or the cargo of a vessel, shall be relanded in some port of the U. S. the party or parties to such bond, shall within two months after the date of the same, (unless in the case of a voyage from New Orleans to an Atlantic port or from an Atlantic port to New Orleans, in either of which cases, four months shall as heretofore be allowed) produce to the collector of the port from which the vessel had been cleared with such goods, wares, merchandise or cargo, a certificate of the relanding of the same from the collector of the proper port; on failure whereof, the bond shall be put in suit; and in every such suit, as well as in every suit instituted on a bond given for a voyage from or to New Orleans, judgment shall be given against the defendant or defendants, unless proof shall be given of such relanding, or of loss of the vessel at sea. But neither capture, distress or any other accident whatever shall be pleaded or given in evidence in any such suit: unless such capture shall be expressly proved to have been hostile, and such distress or accident occasioned by no negligence or deviation, nor unless such vessel shall have been from the commencement of the voyage wholly navigated by a master, mate or mates, mariners and crew, all of whom shall be citizens of the United States, nor unless such mate or mates, mariners and crew, shall all if living, (and the proof of their death shall lie on the defendant) be produced on the trial, and sworn as competent witnesses, nor unless such master, mate or mates, mariners and crew, shall have signed a shipping paper in due form of law, and a copy thereof designating specially the master, mate or mates, mariners and crew, and their permanent places of residence, shall have been lodged with the collector of the port, to whom the bond aforesaid shall have been given, before the commencement of the voyage, and subscribed and sworn to by the master, before such collector; and any master who shall falsely, wilfully, & corruptly swear as to the facts contained in such copy, shall on conviction, suffer the pains and penalties of perjury. And in every suit instituted on a bond given as aforesaid, the defendants shall pay all costs, if they shall not within the limited time have produced the certificate of relanding to the collector of the proper port.
SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, That no registered or sea letter vessel, although in ballast, shall receive a clearance, or be permitted to depart from any port of the United States, unless the same bond shall have been previously given which is required from vessels licensed for the coasting trade, before they are allowed to depart. And if any such ship or vessel shall depart without bond having been given as aforesaid, the ship or vessel shall be forfeited; and the owner, owners, agent, consignee, factor, and master or commander of such ship or vessel, as well as any other person concerned in such prohibited departure, shall be liable to the same penalties imposed by law, in the case of vessels licensed for the coasting trade departing without bond having been given, or without clearance, as aforesaid.
SEC. 9. And be it further enacted, That the collectors of all the districts of the U. States, shall, and they are hereby authorised to take into their custody specie or any other articles of domestic growth, produce, or manufacture, found on board of any ship or vessel, boat or other water craft, when there is reason to believe that they are intended for exportation, or when in vessels, carts, waggons, sleighs, or any other carriage, or in any manner apparently on their way towards the territories of a foreign nation, or the vicinity thereof, or towards a place whence such articles are intended to be exported; and not to permit such articles to be removed until bond with sufficient sureties shall have been given for the landing or delivery of the same in some place of the United States, whence, in the opinion of the collector there shall not be any danger of such articles being exported.
SEC. 10. And be it further enacted, That the powers given to the collectors, either this or any other act respecting the embargo, to refuse permission to put any cargo on board any vessel, boat or other water craft, to detain any vessel, or take into their custody any articles for the purpose of preventing violations of the embargo, shall be exercised in conformity with such instructions as the President may give, and such general rules as he may prescribe for that purpose made in pursuance of the powers aforesaid, which instructions and general rules collectors shall be bound to obey: In any action or suit be brought against collector or other persons acting under direction of and in pursuance of this act, may plead the general issue, and give in evidence the act and the instructions and regulations of the President in evidence for his justification and defence. And any person aggrieved by the acts of any collector in either of the cases aforesaid, may file his petition in the district wherein the collector resides stating the facts of his case, and thereupon, after due notice given to the defendant, attorney and the collector, the said court may summarily hear and adjudge the same as law and justice may require, the judgment of said court, and the reasons and facts whereon it is grounded, be filed among the records of said court, and if restoration of the said property retained or taken into custody, or permission to load as aforesaid, shall be decreed, it shall be upon the party's giving such bond or sureties as is or shall be required to be given in similar cases by the collector, and otherwise; but if the said court shall adjudge against such petition, the collector shall be entitled to treble costs, which shall be taxed for him, and execution awarded accordingly by the court.
SEC. 11. And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for the president of the United States, or such other person as he may have empowered for that purpose, to employ such part of the land or naval forces of the United States, or of the territories thereof as may be judged necessary, in conformity with the provisions of this act, for the purpose of preventing the illegal departure of any ship or vessel, or of detaining any ship or vessel, or of taking into custody and guarding any specie or articles of domestic growth, produce, or manufacture, and also for the purpose of preventing or suppressing any armed or riotous assembly of persons resisting the custom-house officers in the exercise of their duties, or in any manner opposing the execution of the laws laying an embargo, or otherwise violating, or assisting and abetting violations of the same.
SEC. 12. And be it further enacted, That all penalties and forfeitures incurred by force of this act, unless herein before otherwise directed; and all penalties and forfeitures incurred by force of the act, entitled "An act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States," or by virtue of the several acts supplementary thereto, may be prosecuted for, and recovered by action of debt or by indictment or information, any usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding; and if recovered in consequence of any seizure made by the commander of any public armed vessel of the U. States, shall be distributed according to the provisions of the act entitled "An act for the government of the navy of the United States" and if, otherwise, shall be distributed as accounted for in the manner prescribed by the act entitled "An act to regulate the collection of duties on imposts and tonnage," passed the second day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seven, and may be mitigated or remitted in the manner prescribed by the act entitled "An act to provide for mitigating or remitting forfeitures, penalties and disabilities accruing in certain cases therein mentioned," passed the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seven, and made perpetual by an act passed the eleventh of February, one thousand eight hundred and seven, officer or other person entitled to a part or share of any of the fines, penalties or forfeitures aforesaid, may, if necessary, be a witness on the trial thereof, but in such case he shall not receive any part or share of the said fine, penalty or forfeiture, or the part or share to which he would otherwise be entitled shall revert to the United States.
SEC. 13. And be it further enacted, That the president of the U. S. be, and he hereby is authorised to hire, arm and employ thirty vessels, not exceeding in tonnage one hundred and thirty tons each, belonging to citizens of the U. S. and so many seamen as shall be necessary to man the same for immediate service, in enforcing the laws of the U. S. on the sea coast thereof, and to dis-

miss the same from service when he shall think the same expedient. Provided however, that such hiring, arming, and employment shall not be for a term exceeding one year. And the said ships or vessels when so hired and armed, shall be employed under the direction of the secretary of the treasury. Sec. 14. And be it further enacted, That the powers given to the president of the U. S. by the seventh section of the act of March the twelfth, one thousand eight hundred and eight, to grant permission in places without the jurisdiction of the U. S. to dispatch vessels of the same, shall henceforth cease. Sec. 15. And be it further enacted, That this act shall be in force from and after the passing thereof, during the continuance of the act, entitled "An act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the U. S." and no longer.  J. B. VARNUM, Speaker of the House of Representatives. GEO. CLINTON, Vice President of the U. S. and President of the Senate.  JAN. 9. 1809. APPROVED, TH: JEFFERSON.
for the people to suffer, but they must be told that these sufferings are pleasures.—And the time is fast approaching when to dispute the statements of our all-wise chief consul will be death. Yes, my countrymen, one stride more, and you will be congratulated with the glorious triumph of democrats over federalists by the creation of an emperor of the west, whose will shall be law. It is already said, that there is no way to put down federalism but by exercising "arbitrary power." The next step is for the dictator to take that power into his own hands, and to exercise it according to his own discretion, without the tedious forms of elections, resolutions and laws!  [Wash.

DEFEAT OF THE SPANIARDS. No credit is due to the account brought by the Jane from Oporto, of the defeat of the Spaniards. The Jane left Oporto on the 29th Nov. The captain states, that the news had arrived 10 days before, that is to say on the 19th. On the other hand, the Henry arrived at New York, brought Madrid papers to the 9th, and Malaga papers to the 16th, which do not countenance the supposition of such a tremendous force being brought into action, and which represent the advantage to be exclusively in favor of the Spaniards, and the French retreating. Besides the letters received at Boston from Oporto, to the 25th November, which mention no such circumstances as the captain of Jane reports—the same silence is preserved about them in a letter we have seen from Oporto, to a gentleman in this city, dated 21st November, also received by the Jane.

Extract of a letter to the editor of the Raleigh Minerva, dated Newbern, November 16, 1808. As a specimen of modern republicanism, I beg leave to state to you the conduct of the officers of the U. S. troops stationed at this place. It had been warmly contested at the congressional election, whether soldiers, regularly enlisted, had the right of voting. When the electoral election approached, the subject had become more interesting, for their numbers had greatly increased. The officers eagerly insisted that possessing the requisite residence and perfect freedom of choice, the soldiers had the right of suffrage, and should be permitted to exercise this right. Just before the election took place, however, it was unfortunately discovered that their humble followers were not as pliant as had been expected, for that a majority of them were resolved, if allowed to vote, to give their suffrages to the federal candidate. Immediately they were all paraded and marched out of town. Had the business stopped here, there might have been some apology offered for it. But this was not all—a division was made of the soldiers. Every one of the poor fellows who dared to exercise the pretended freedom of choice was kept in the country until after sun set, while the rest were marched back and brought up to vote. So general and strong a spirit of indignation was manifested by the citizens, as at length compelled the officers to abandon their project, and direct their compliant soldiers to retire from the poll.
Extract of a letter received at Philadelphia from an intelligent gentleman at Bermuda, dated Dec. 7th.
"Martinique and Guadalupe are both closely blockaded, and it is expected that the expedition now collecting at Barbados, is destined against these two colonies, and probably thence to St Domingo."
Extract from a second; both of the same date, from the same gentleman.
"In addition to what I have already written to you, I have to inform you, in case you have not heard it, that the French part of Hispaniola is now in possession of the Spaniards; who sent an expedition from Porto Rico and attacked them by land, while the squadron from Jamaica co-operated by sea. Ferrand shot himself, consequently the surrender was unconditional. Pétion, 'tis true, befriended the French, but he will not dare to show his face. All the swarm of privateers, that were cruising out of Samana, are captured with their prizes, and sent to Jamaica, except two, which are gone for Guadalupe, if they can reach it. There is consequently no risk of capture in these seas."
From the Freeman's Journal. FREEDOM OF DEBATE! Amid the continual thunder of "Order!" "Order!" with which Mr. Elliot was assailed during a considerable part of the time when he was speaking on the night of
the 5th inst. the stentorian voice of one of the most influential democratic leaders was repeatedly heard exclaiming, Damn the Rascal, if my friends would join me, I would expel him! If expulsion is already contemplated as the proper punishment of a representative who shall exercise his constitutional privileges in the service of his country, what are we to expect when we shall become the humble servants of Napoleon the Great? If these things are done in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?  MINISTERIAL CAUCUSES.
The ministerial members from the northern and middle states have caucused separately at Washington, and came to a conclusion that the embargo must be raised, at least in part, and our vessels be permitted to arm. A delegation of one member from each democratic mess, afterwards assembled, and Mr. F. of P. is said to have announced the determination of the members from the northern and middle states. Mr. W. C. N. of V. declared that there was no alternative but Embargo or War. The result of the whole business has already been announced—the Embargo followed up by Non-Intercourse, is to be continued till the 15th of May, IF THE PEOPLE WILL BEAR IT SO LONG. The next Congress is then to meet and decide between perpetual Embargo and War.
This is the plan of the moment, but will probably be abandoned before the close of the session. Indeed it is not certain that it will last for a week.
The House of Representatives were engaged the greater part of yesterday on motion of Mr. D. R. Williams, to commit to a committee of the whole house, the bill for arming, manning, and equipping the whole naval force of the United States. The motion was lost, 59 to 58. Details in our next.
Washington Fed. Jan. 11. QUERIES. If Bonaparte has declared War against us, will not a certain officer of high rank in our army consider it an act of as much "liberal and friendship" as his former declaration of war between the United States and Great Britain?
In the event of war with France, can a certain Col. conscientiously lead his regiment into the field, to fight the troops of the "liberal and friendly" Emperor of the Gauls?
Will not those who have declared that they belong to the "French Party," feel it a duty to expatriate themselves without delay?
Will not those of our officers who are under obligations to the French Government incompatible with their allegiance to the U. States, if any such there be, immediately resign their situations, that their places may be filled with true Americans?
Will the President continue to appoint editors and printers to military stations, who can give no evidence of their knowledge of military tactics?
Will General Wilkinson be the commander in chief of the army or the armies of the United States?  Freeman's Journal.
From the New Jersey Journal. MR. KOLLOCK.
I was much infested with Weevils in my barn &c. and did not know how to get rid of them, till I found tobacco was an effectual remedy. They are fond of it, eat it and go off and die. I deal in Tobacco, on receiving two hogheads (for which I had not room in my cellar at the time) I put them into the barn. On removing them I found thousands of dead Weevils on the barn floor, which cleared it entirely of that destructive animal. I then took two or three boxes, containing about six pounds of tobacco in each, and placed them in my granary, where I kept wheat, &c. This was soon cleared also, and have not had any since. The boxes ought to be open enough to let the Weevils have free passage into them.
If you think this will be of any use to your readers it is at your service.
I am yours, &c. GAVIN SCOTT. Elizabeth Town, Dec. 18, 1808.
From the Fredericktown Herald. MR. THOMSON,
I heard an old gentleman, a few evenings ago, relate an anecdote in German which appeared to me so applicable, that will give it to you, as well as I can in English. The old gentleman said that whenever he heard the ministerial cant about "dignified retirement," or thought of the terrapin system of resistance, it reminded him of a family affair which happened in Germany when he was a lad. A man and his wife sometimes quarreled with great obstinacy on both sides—in one of those encounters the wife proved an over match and the husband for his safety had to retire under the bed. While the husband was enjoying this "independent retirement" a neighbor raps at the door; and the wife
tells Hans to come out quick from under the bed before she let the neighbor in; but Hans cried out with great firmness "I won't for you—I will show you that I am master in the house."
POLICE OF LONDON. GUILDHALL, Friday, Oct. 7. A musical instrument maker, of Cornhill, named Astor was charged with no less than four different assaults upon two men, named Griffiths and Keese, and both their wives, on the preceding night, in Long lane, Smithfield. It appeared that the defendant was marching in quick time through the lane about eight o'clock on Thursday night; and on passing the houses of the complainants, thought fit to amuse himself by playing a sonata on their window shutter with a pretty full grown black thorn bludgeon he carried. This rude serenade brought out Mr. Griffith, who is a retailer of ham and beef, and who demanded the reason of the noise. Mr. Astor said he had a right to make a noise if he pleased, and that the complainant had no right to interfere. But Mr. Griffiths, who is a Cambro Britain, waxed hot at his reply began to harp on his conduct, and rejoined, that if the defendant did so again, he would knock him down flat. The defendant, whose temper was in alt upon his threat, immediately flourishing his instrument, began to beat a tattoo on the drum head of Mr. Griffiths. His wife, alarmed at the scuffle, ran out con amore in a brisk movement, and screaming forte demanded, in a semi demi quaver, for what he struck her husband? To which the defendant only answered by beating time with the same instrument on the head of the good lady. This inharmonious concert soon attracted a very numerous auditory; and Mr. Keese, the baker, feeling himself called upon to play his part in the piece came up in aid of his neighbor Mr. Griffiths; but was so powerfully struck by the performance of Mr. Astor, that he moved by a sudden cadence to the kennel upon his back. His wife, too, came forward effectus, and immediately flew, con spirito, at the assailant of her husband; but received such a crash on her head from his instrument as brought the blood streaming about her ears. A reputable neighbor interfered, at much personal risk from the stacca touches of Mr. Astor's bludgeon, and with the aid of the watch, secured, and conveyed him to the Compter.
Mr. Astor contended in his defence, that he had received the first assault. The Magistrate however, after giving the defendant a pretty severe recitative for his outrageous conduct, told him to withdraw with the parties forthwith and make them satisfactory atonement, or else find bail for his appearance to take his trial.—Mr. Astor accordingly withdrew and after compensating the defendant to some tune, retired penseroso, resolved to da capo no more the like passages, and keep his temper more in piano for the future.
A true story. —Not long since, in a small country village in New-England, a store-keeper who was a violent democrat, had his little store very much infested with rats which he was in the habit of calling federalists. He told his son, a young lad, to set some traps, to catch the federalists; which the boy accordingly did several nights, with success, and at each time informed his father that he had caught a federalist. At length the boy caught a mole in his trap, and in great exultation, calls out to his father, I have caught a democrat! Aye, says the father, how do you know him to be a democrat? The boy replied, the others which I caught had eyes and you called them federalists;—the one I have now caught has no eyes, he cannot see, of course he must be a democrat. The reasoning of the boy was so good that the father could not forbear to tell the story.

COMMUNICATION.
THE awful and critical situation in which the public affairs of our country are placed, producing an entire stagnation of all foreign commerce, and viewing the nation on the eve of war with one if not both belligerents, and most probably from the apparent temper of our rulers, with that one best able to DO US MOST HARM, it behoves every Stockholder in the Marine Insurance Co. of Alexandria, to weigh well and decide what course this institution ought to take. This subject, however, is more immediately addressed to those Stockholders who from their deep interest in it, are the most affected by the present precarious and hazardous times.
Embargoed in fact, both by sea and land, by numerous, severe and restrictive laws, producing wanton vexations on the innocent and lawful commerce of coasting, insomuch that even this remnant is so completely cut up, that the most ordinary mercantile business cannot be done; and for aught that appears the people of this country are doomed to groan under these cruel and destructive measures another year, or if removed, will most probably be replaced by war still more hazardous to an institution of this sort. It is therefore respectfully submitted to the Stockholders, whether a dissolution of Co. the & a division of the Capital, is not the most eligible course under existing circumstances. One thing is certain that to keep this establishment with full salaries to the officers and other incidental expenses, when nothing can be done and consequently nothing for the officers to perform, it is believed would be a sacrifice of the property of individuals as it respects ourselves, and as representatives of others we have no right to impose.
If the institution is to be kept alive, it ought to be at no expence, or at most 1 or 200 dollars, which would be sufficient for a proper person to take charge of and preserve the books and papers against some more auspicious period, if indeed such an one should ever arrive in our times.

In the official paper of Monday, we find the editor, "congratulating the nation on the passage of the bill more effectually to enforce the embargo." This insult to injury we had hoped would not have been cast upon our poor distressed country. We had thought it would have been sufficient for our rulers to have copied the tyrannic acts of Bonaparte, and that they would have had enough of modesty left, not to copy his insulting language. But it seems we are to be completely degraded. It is not enough

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by  James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria. Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store, No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney. During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints. Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative, Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskillful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate glects, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of two hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.

Hannah Lee, Patent Medicine Store, New York, Sept. 10, 1808.
ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common 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, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. 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.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher. About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder. THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
