Valuable Medicines.
PUBLIC confidence has never been more deservedly and firmly reposed, and perhaps in no instance more justly, than it appears in the success of HAMILTON'S WORM LOZENGES, prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by REED AND CO. no. 56, Maiden-lane, New York And in Richmond, (only) at S. Pleasants' Printing-office.
The proprietor has lately presented to the public eye the testimony of the Hon. A. C. Hanson, Chancellor of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Molcher, and of other distinguished and respectable characters. The following cases, of more recent occurrence, are now respectfully submitted.
Copy of a letter from Mr. Henry Ackerman, Brick-layer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1804.
Sir—It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains of the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, and with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or thirteen feet of tape worm; two other doses were taken which brought away a quantity of matter like broken skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm voided at different times must have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and weak; it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health. I remain, Sir, yours, &c.
HENRY ACKERMAN. To Mr. Richard Lee. FOR SALE AS ABOVE, Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard,

To Parents who may have children afflicted with The Hooping Cough.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most critical disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it. From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. attorney general of the state of Maryland.
GENTLEMEN—I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with torpor, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts, I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN. HAMILTON'S Grand Restorative,
Is 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 other debilitating intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c.

The Persian Lotion operates mild, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health; yet its effect is speedily and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth—never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so.
The Restorative Powder for the Teeth and Gums.
Hahn's GENUINE WYE WATER, A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes whether the effect be natural weakness or of accident, specially removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching and films on the eye; never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fever, and wonderfully strengthening to weak sight.

Which is warranted an infallible remedy in one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women or on an infant a week old, not contain a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredients whatever; and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the exhibition of other remedies.
For the cure of a certain deplorable Malady, The Indian Vegetable Specific.
The Medicines prepared by Richard Lee have been in high estimation and general use throughout the United States, for upwards of six years; many of them are sold for less than the drugs of which they are compounded could be purchased at a retail store.
It is no inconsiderable evidence of their utility, that during the above period numerous imitations of every article (the production of ignorance and inexperience, urged by easy and pecuniary) have intruded on the public; seen a day and then perished; others now succeeded them, which in like manner are fast defending "to the tomb of the Capulets," while our remedies become more generally used and acquire a daily accession of well earned celebrity.
To prevent the imposition of worthless or dangerous preparations, purchasers are requested to remember, that an engraved label, with the signature of Richard Lee's (to counterfeiting which is felony) is affixed to each of his genuine medicines.
Lee's Infalible Ague Drops.
Recent Cures. A child of Mr. William Lozier, grocer, corner of Hudson and Jay Streets, was sick about five or six weeks with ague and fever, and in so violent a degree, as for the hot paroxysm to terminate frequently in most alarming convulsion fits. A variety of medicines, recommended by sympathising neighbors, were administered, without alleviating the disease; at length hearing of the uniform efficacy of Lee's Ague Drops, a bottle was procured, of which three doses only were found necessary to perfect a cure. Five weeks have elapsed without any return of the complaint.
Mr. James Joyce, assistant in the warehouse of Mr. — Pearl-street, was severely afflicted with an intermit-tent; but after taking Lee's Ague Drops, was cured in two days. At the recommendation of Mr. Joyce, a friend, Mr. Terence Tole, who had suffered much from an obdurate intermit-tent upwards of a year (with few and trifling intervals) was cured by a few doses of the same Medicine. At the recommendation of Mr. Joyce, a bottle was procured by M. P. Skooley, who was likewise harassed with an obdurate intermit-tent. A small portion completely removed every symptom of the complaint (which may surprise those who regard the bark as the only specific) — Four persons of Mr. Skooley's acquaintance was by the remaining part of this single phial, cured of the prevailing malady.
The above narrations may suffice to prove the usefulness of this medicine; but if the affection of the proprietor, and the fact of an annual demand for several thousand bottles have any weight, the public will believe that this preparation has never failed effecting a cure, and may without effort be termed INFALLIBLE.
Prepared and sold by Richard Lee, No. 50 Maiden-lane New York, and at S. Pleasants' Printing office, Richmond. Oct. 1, 1804.

FROM THE AURORA.
THE EAST INDIES.
In a recent packet of English newspapers, we find a number of articles concerning the state of Hindustan, and the rise and progress of the wars in that country, during the last two years. It appears that the French naval squadron in the Indian seas, had taken among several others, a ship on board of which was a variety of dispatches, public and secret, and of private correspondence—these, having been forwarded by general Decaen from the Mauritius to France, have been published in the MONITEUR—from which gazette the English papers have made some partial, though interesting selections.
No apology is required for placing before our readers these papers so far as we have obtained them—the concerns of Asia appears to obtain more than common attention among civilized nations—there appears to be a growing thirst of curiosity concerning its remote history, learning and science and an anticipation that it must at no remote day exhibit a phenomenon equal in magnitude, originality, and importance to the revolution of America. Such an event will inevitably arise—it is an event to be desired by mankind—but we are about only to report what has been written and published elsewhere, and to afford our readers a little variety of foreign interesting matter to temper the warmth and acerbity of local politics.
The Paris Moniteur of the first of May, and subsequent papers contain a number of intercepted papers, and dispatches, captured on the British ship Hope—subsequent papers also contain extracts of a report made by a sub-lieutenant MULLER, who appears to have been sent for the purpose into Hindustan, and who gives very circumstantial accounts down to a recent date, of the military operations in the Mahrattah country—and it appears that Decaen had subsequently succeeded in sending a number of staff officers, engineers, and two well appointed companies of light artillery, to reinforce the army of Juswant Rao Holkar.
The first article which we find is not a complete document—the whole was published in the Moniteur, but the English prints gable it, and such only can we give it—It is a dispatch of the 13th July, 1804, from the supreme council at Calcutta, to the secret committee of the court of directors, and signed by the Marquis Wellesley, Geo. H. Barlow, and J. L. Udney, and is described as extending to the bulk of a large pamphlet, giving a circumstantial and luminous view of the British interests throughout India, the policy of the different princes, their history, designs, &c. For this dispatch Wellesley's motives for the war against the Mahrattahs are developed—the following are the extracts—
"The immediate cause of the war arose from the refusal which the confederate Mahrattah chiefs had made to divide and withdraw to their usual stations, upon their respective territories, the armies they had collected and concentrated upon the frontiers of our ally the Soubahdar of the Deccan, after having declared that the intention of that union was to decide, whether there should be peace or war with the British government and its allies.
The north west frontier of India is considered the most feeble part of the vast empire of Britain in Asia.
"The power of the Seyks, as well as of the Mahrattahs, and the Rajpouts and other petty states, affords a considerable advantage to the invasion of an enemy coming from the most distant parts of the north west of Asia, or the banks of the Indus, and it will be superfluous to remark to your excellency, that the enterprising spirit of France, or the ambition of Russia or even the violence or rapacity of the Afghan tribes or the Asiatic nations, which inhabit the northern and western countries of Asia, may have conceived plans of invasion in that part, an invasion which would have extremely embarrassed the British power in India.
"The local position of the territories of Scindeah, the situation & nature of his military forces in Indostan, & the bad & corrupt counsels of that feeble chief, arrogant and faithless, still afford serious danger to the British interest. The territories of Scindeah between the Jumna and the Ganges, interrupt our line of defence on that side, and some of his principal posts are pushed to the centre of our states, whilst the possession of Agra, Delhi, and the western and southern banks of the Jumna, places him in a condition to command almost the whole line of our north west frontier.
"In case of some considerable increase of the power of Scindeah, or in case he should form some connection with France, or some other enemy of the English, the present position of his territories and forces in Indostan, will furnish him with great advantages in the attack he might make upon the establishment of the company."
The dispatch states, that the war being commenced, one of its first objects was to reduce the power of Scindeah, which consisted at its commencement, in relation to his means of being able to affect the security of the British empire in India, in the following branches of military and political resources:
"In the imposing situation of the military establishment of Scindeah, under the direction of European officers, and particularly in the formidable force of his regular infantry and artillery, under the command of those officers.
"In the possession of a rich and vast territory, different for its magazines, foundries and arsenals, with a considerable provision of ammunition & military necessaries deposited in convenient situations upon our frontiers, adjoining the weakest part of the British states in Indostan.
"In the passive situation of his majesty's person, Shah Allum, which was under the immediate power of the armed force commanded by French officers, in the service of Scindeah and in the exercise the nominal authority of the Mogul, by those French officers.
"In the ascendancy established by the agency of French officers, having command in the troops of Scindeah, in the north west of Indostan, over the Rajepous chiefs of Joynagpur and Jodepore and other states and chiefs in the northern and western provinces of Indostan and over several Seyk chiefs, and others who occupy the territories from the Jumna to the banks of the Indus; and in the facility which the advanced posts of M. Perton's army procured to effect an invasion of the British states upon that point.
"In the facility afforded, by the possession of the maritime port of Baroach, to augment the military establishments of Scindeah, by receiving there French or other European officers, ammunition, provisions, and perhaps a body of auxiliary French or other European troops."
The dispatch then enumerates many other facts, shewing the greatness and danger of Scindeah's power to the British empire in India, connected as he is with France, under the influence of French officers, situated on the north west frontier, ready to receive any invading army, whether French, Russian, or Asiatic, and having a convenient extent of sea coast, north of Bombay, to enable him to receive a French army, or supplies by sea—The power of the rajah of Berar, and of the other princes is then explained, as well as that of Scindeah; and it is shown, that the result of the war has been to diminish the power of those princes, and to consolidate that of the British empire. The dispatch then proceeds to explain the necessity of the second, or present war with Holkar, and the advantages to be derived from it.
The English prints infer from these publications, that the fleet of Villeneuve was bound for the East Indies, and not for the West Indies.
From the Paris Argus of May 4.
The publication of the papers which we give to day, affords information still more important and no less hurtful to the interest of the English government. The world may behold in these papers to what a degree that British power, in appearance so formidable, is incessantly undermining; how the war becomes from day to day more painful and expensive to support. We see that the whole attention of the governor of India was employed in preventing European individuals from penetrating to the Mahrattahs, lest they should teach them the art of war; but that in spite of so many efforts, the resistance of the natives grow every day stronger, and the success of battle more uncertain. Whatever may be the issue of the war which Holkar has undertaken for the deliverance of his country, the British empire, more flourishing for a moment, will not be the better secured for the future, because its only basis is terror, blindness, and slavery. The eternal principle of the troubles and wars, is in the enormous disproportion subsisting between the extent of domain and the small number of possessors. This truth has been generally acknowledged even by the company's agents, notwithstanding the progressive avidity so natural to the spirit of commerce. This has been the principle of the divisions between the directors and marquis Wellesley, whose ambitious and prodigal spirit they blamed.
Affairs of India—Colonel Darsenal, arrived from the Isle of France, on board the Corvette la Diligente, has brought dispatches from the captain general Decaen.
Among the prizes made by rear admiral Lincolns, one was found to contain several official dispatches. We detest the wretched custom of printing the letters found on board the ships; but that custom having been introduced by the English who have not blushed to print private correspondence, nay, even letters from husbands to their wives, written from Egypt, experience has proved that such a

enacted as England must be attacked with the same arms it makes use of: with out which it makes of it an exclusive right. The greatest division prevails among the English in India. Their finances are in the utmost disorder. The war they support is disastrous for them and still in its full force.
The European army of the English in India does not at present amount to 12,000 men, so great are the losses it has sustained.
The letters of Marquis Wellesley are extremely curious, and show the great embarrassment the company is in.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, August 4.
The ship Otis, Capt. Phillips, which arrived at this port on Saturday evening, brings London papers to the 17th of June — seven days later than before received.
From these papers it appears, that in the House of Commons the 11th of June, the subject of the impeachment of Lord Melville commenced; and after an animated discussion the house divided, 195 being for the impeachment, and 272 against it. Majority 77. When this was divided, a motion which had previously been made by Mr. Bond, for a criminal prosecution 238—against Lord Melville, was taken up. For the criminal prosecution 238—against it 229. Majority 9. On the latter question Lord Sidmouth (late Mr. Addington) and his friends voted with the opposition against Ministers. Lord Melville will thus be obliged to stand a trial at the court of King's Bench; where the reports of the secret committee of the House of Commons had already been presented.
The following articles are from the papers:
LONDON, June 12.
Yesterday being the day fixed for the motion for an impeachment against Lord Melville, a great crowd assembled, at an early hour, in the avenues of the House of Commons. At 12 the doors were opened, and a severe pressure ensued. The gallery, of course, was filled in a few minutes. In the early part of the day an opinion prevailed, that Mr. Whitebread would open the debate; but about 3 o'clock it was said that Lord Viscount Melville would be previously heard in his defence. This excited a great degree of expectation, and a great number of persons crowded into the lower lobby, and also lined the stairs of the gallery of the House, which commands a view of the lobby, through which Lord Melville was to pass. About half past 4, his Lordship entered the lobby and passed in the Secretary's room, on the left hand. The House was at this time engaged in private business. Shortly after 5, the Speaker read a letter from Lord Viscount Melville, requesting to be admitted into the body of the house, to be heard in his defence. The Hon. Robert Dundas, Saunders, his Lordship's son, then moved, that his Lordship be called in; which being agreed to, the Speaker desired Mr. Colman, the Sergeant at Arms, to take the Mace, and conduct Lord Viscount Melville into the house. In the mean time, Mr. Bellamy, the principal messenger, brought in a square armchair, and placed it within the body of the house, within the bar, on the left hand side. The Sergeant at Arms then took up the mace, and having waved it three times, went out of the house, and took his station outside, in the lobby, in front of the door of the Treasury Room. Mr. Heard, one of the messengers, had previously thrown open the folding doors of the latter apartment, and Lord Viscount Melville being informed by him that the house requested his attendance, his Lordship came out, and walked uncovered into the house, attended by the Sergeant and mace. His Lordship was dressed in black, and wore a close buckled wig powdered. He bowed three times as he approached, and, on coming within the bar, the Speaker, who wore his hat on all the time, addressing him, said, "My Lord Melville, there is a chair for your Lordship." His lordship then sat down and put on his hat. There was a loud murmur in the house on his coming in. As soon as it subsided, which was in less than two minutes, his lordship arose, and taking off his hat, he laid it upon the seat of the chair, and upon the hat several papers. His lordship then standing at the back of the chair, commenced his speech, in the course of which he frequently refreshed his memory from the papers before him. His lordship spoke for two hours and a quarter. His manner was, firm and impressive; and he did not, even in the part of it where he appealed to the feelings appear the least shaken. The moment he had concluded, he took up his papers deliberately one by one, and having put his hat under his arm, made a bow to the Speaker and withdrew, attended by the Sergeant, who, during the whole of the speech, remained standing on the right hand side of his lordship but at the distance of a few yards, with the mace resting upon the ground, and his hand upon it. The house was uncommonly crowded. Not fewer than 500 members were present.
Lord Viscount Melville's speech will be read with interest. Upon the subject of the 10,000 £ and other sums of the public money received by him, and not applied to the purposes, his lordship positively declared, that private honor, and personal convenience "must prevent him from ever giving any account of them."
JUNE 11. Accounts are said to have reached town yesterday from Lisbon, which represent the Portuguese Cabinet in a very embarrassed situation, in consequence of some fresh demands having been made upon it, the tendency of which is to exclude all English ships and merchandise from the ports of that country. We give this statement as we received it, without being able to ascertain the degree of credit to which it is entitled.
In a former paper we stated that the French and Spanish Ambassadors at Lisbon, remonstrated against the entrance of the expedition under Gen. Sir James Cragg into the port of Lisbon. The following additional particulars have since been related:
"While General Cragg was at Lisbon, the French and Spanish Ambassadors remonstrated with much warmth on the shelter which the Portuguese Government afforded to the ships and troops under General Cragg. The Prince Regent answered that the English Convoy had been forced into the Tagus by stress of weather (arrivada.) They demanded that it be ordered to sea immediately. But General Cragg resolved not to stir, till he was assured there was no danger of his meeting the combined fleets of the enemy; and, in case of receiving a peremptory order to quit, we are assured that he had resolved to take possession of the forts on the Tagus, and keep his post by force, rather than risk falling into the hands of the enemy, by sailing prematurely. The Portuguese government evidently extended its indulgence to the utmost of its power."
JUNE 13. Extract of a private letter from an officer on board one of his Majesty's ships in the Downs, dated June 10.—We have thirteen sail of the line here now; the North sea squadron being ordered round; and we expect five sail more from the westward; I believe it is coming North about. By every cruiser that comes in I learn, that the French appear in all their ports ready for a push out, and most of the officers are of opinion they certainly will do it shortly, as their preparations with their shipping are different from what they have seen before."
We yesterday received a letter from an officer on board one of the transports in the cove of Cork, in the expedition under Sir Eyre Coote. It says, "this morning, June 5th, the troops were brigaded as follows:—The 1st or Highland brig. (ide, consisting of the 71, 72, 93d, and Buffs under the command of General M c Farlane. The 2d, of the 8th, 24th and 83d, with artillery under Gen. Balfour. The brigade of the 33d, 38th and 63d, under the command of Gen. M c Intosh. The 89th regiment is to form a detached corps, under command of Lieut. Col. Blaney. I have not yet heard who is to command the artillery or Staff corps. Gen. Drummond is second in command under Sir Eyre Coote."
"The troops are all in good health, and are landed every other day to keep them so. Our destination is not yet known; but it is supposed we are going on some remote and desperate expedition, and not to the West-Indies, for all the married officers are ordered to send their wives on shore immediately, and the transports are to be furnished with provisions for six months."
June 17. —We received this morning the Paris papers to the 9th, and the Dutch to the 12th. Some of the former hint a plot to have been executed at Milan, which, as usual, is attributed to the English government. It is thus mentioned in the Bulletin de l'Europe :
"Persons will be very much astonished in Italy if they here reported there the absurd stories which indolence or malevolence have been for some days circulating in Paris, upon a pretended conspiracy which was to burst forth at Milan, and whose object would have been to change, into a day of Mourning, a day of the liveliest and purest joy."
"If England has sent some spies to Milan, they have produced as little effect in the capital of that kingdom, as in the capital of the French empire. Discredited, dishonored, they have not been able to succeed in entering into a correspondence with any class of citizens.—The moment of their arrival, the nature of their instructions were known before hand: their arrest was as little known and with as little eclat as that of the vilest adventurers."
"Of the movements, operations and destination of the different Squadrons at sea, the Moniteur affords us no information, it merely says in a dry, brief note on some of the English papers, that "in a month we shall hear where the combined squadrons are gone;" we hope the first intelligence we receive will be from Lord Nelson, after having come up with them."

Novozilow occupies much of the Paris Journalists, and an article from Hamburg in one of them, says, that a Congress for a General Peace, is to be held at Brussels: that Novozilow and the Prussian Minister are to mediate for Great Britain, and the port of Ostend is to be opened to carry on the diplomatic correspondence with Eng and. The Paris papers of the 8th, state that the Arch-Treasurer set off for Milan the day before, preceded by the Finance Minister. "The departure of these two grand functionaries affords us room to believe, that Paris will be much longer deprived of the presence of its sovereign, than was supposed. It is believed, that the affairs of Genoa will keep his majesty much longer in Italy; it is proved besides, that he is expected at the camp of Castiglione, where he will remain a fort-
night; and that he is to reside some time at Bologna."
The French funds are at 61 1-2. The Falcon sloop arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, from off Havre, having received some damage in an action with some French gun-boats: 16 of them came out of Havre in open day. The Falcon, Chaffeur and Sparkler engaged them for some time. Four of them are said to have been driven ashore; the rest escaped into Fecamp. They came out in consequence of positive orders to collect to the eastward.

Plymouth, June 15. —Notwithstanding the assertion of the Moniteur, the Rochefort squadron returned from the W. Indies, were counted in that harbor only last Wednesday, near the same number as returned.
June 13. We have received Dutch papers to the 9th and Paris Journals to the 5th:
The Moniteur contains the following article:—
"Since the English call the late operations of our squadron in the West Indies plunder, it is but just they should know that this plunder will not be over so soon as they think. We flatter ourselves even that ere a week has passed over our heads, intelligence from every part of the world will announce to the English commerce other events of the like nature. We shall then print, perhaps, a little work composed under the eyes of Mr. Pitt, and published by his orders, a short time before the first hostilities, in order to establish the propriety, the advantages, and the necessity of the perpetuity of the war against France. This perpetual war then appeared suitable, advantageous, and necessary to British rapacity, and to that pride which was even then misplaced, and now nothing less than ridiculous. The proud, the powerful, the circumspect English, hear the departure of the French fleet spoken of when it has taken Dominica; of the departure of the Toulon squadron when it has passed the Straits; they will hear no more of it for some months."
"Lastly, they have not heard of the second Rochefort squadron, sailed a long time since, and which the English frigates came to watch and observe not more than eight days ago.—We shall say nothing concerning several large frigates which have been sent out of our ports, to which the English may attach little importance, but which will strike them a blow on those coasts they think hardly known to our seamen. They have been dreaming that there is no longer any wood in our forests and arsenals, that there exist no longer a maritime population on our coast; let them learn, however, that there are no less than 30 men of war on our stocks, all of which will be ready for sea in 18 months."
"Were all the squadrons which the Emperor has sent forth to perish, after having laid waste the English commerce, great fleets are preparing, and numerous young men are ready to man them; it would be easier for the king of England to be crowned King of France, in Paris itself, than to disinherit the Great Nation from the commerce of the world. It is not that we entertain the haughty idea of preventing England from being a great and powerful nation, but we wish to share with her the commerce of India and America; and we will not suffer the English to have any possession in the Mediterranean, Gibraltar excepted."
"If the English Ministry purpose sending forth secret expeditions to those possessions which are too weakly garrisoned, to what point will they direct their forces? To the coast of Africa, where they are null? To the island of Ceylon, where they will be but few in proportion to the danger? To the coasts of Coromandel, Malabar, and Bengal, where they will also be insufficient? To Jamaica, where they will also be inferior to the want? To Canada, to Surinam, Demerara, &c. We do not entertain the ridiculous pretensions of conquering every where; but we wish every where to destroy our enemy, to destroy his commerce every where, to be in short the strongest wherever we please to present ourselves. The Insurance Companies will do well to augment their rates from day to day, for, until peace be signed, they will have pretty pickings. We inform them thus publicly, that there is not an important part of the vast ocean, where French ships are not cruising. But the conditions of the peace we are speaking of are simple: the peace of Amiens, the whole peace of Amiens, nothing but the peace of Amiens; France will never sign any other."
A new religious sect has sprung up in the western parts of India and extend their doctrines by fire and sword. Their leader, Shah Azza, is cruel, crafty, and enterprising, and his success has obtained him numerous followers on the frontiers of Guzerat and on the borders of the desert.
Several children of Devonshire, who had been inoculated for the cow-pock, have been covered with an entire and violent eruption, doubtless proceeding from some disorder with which the subject from which the vaccine matter originally taken had been afflicted. The circumstance, however, has created a great alarm; and, we are sorry, to add, a temporary suspension of vaccination.
By a recent return made to the Court of Denmark, it appears that 28,966 persons have been inoculated for the cow-pock since the introduction of this practice, without a single instance of mortality occurring from it.
The interesting Madame Jerome Bonaparte was yesterday in Kensington Gardens, accompanied by her brother and a party of friends; and those by whom she was recognised were highly gratified by contemplating the innocent simplicity of her countenance, and sympathised in the infamous treatment she has experienced. It is understood, that she is to be present this evening at the Grand Oriental Gala given at Vauxhall; and no event, we may venture to prognosticate, would prove a greater source of attraction.
Jerome Bonaparte, still resides at Genoa; his unnatural brother, who has so cruelly obliged him to separate himself from his amiable and interesting spouse, not having yet permitted him to approach his Royal person.
FRANKFORT, June 2.
In a Riga newspaper of the latter end of April, is inserted a very polite letter from the emperor of Russia to the ci-devant French General Moreau, at Cadiz; in which his majesty informs him he has appointed him a general of the infantry, with the pay attached to that rank; and moreover granted him the sum of 12,000 rubles to defray the expenses of his journey to Russia. Among other expressions used by his imperial majesty on this occasion, are the following: "Discharge your duty in my service, and I will do justice to that fame which you have acquired in Europe."
NEW YORK, August 5.
Capt. Sellick from Guadalupe, informs, that two French privateers, (a brig and schooner) had just arrived there from a cruise off Charleston.
The body of an infant apparently not more than a month old, was taken out of the river at the south side of Coenties slip yesterday morning. A bandage was wrapped round its body & its mouth, supposed to have been done for the purpose of sinking it, by its unnatural mother.
We are much indebted to the politeness of Mr. Patterson (brother of the interesting Madame Bonaparte,) who arrived on Saturday in the Otis from London, for the use of a very valuable file of papers, from which we have made liberal extracts for this day's Daily Advertiser.
PHILADELPHIA, August 5.
We are informed that a new arrest of the Hawaiian government is received in this city. It enacts that all vessels coming into their ports shall have their cargoes consigned to a resident (Black we presume) merchant, who previous to being permitted to an entry, shall give bonds to double the amount of the duties accruing in such cargoes—This decree has been issued for the purpose of securing to the administration the punctual payment of its duties.
It was reported at New York on Saturday, that the President had determined to convene the Legislature of the United States, for the purpose of deliberating on our present relations with Spain.
BALTIMORE, August 5.
By capt. Kerney of the sch'r Sigfield, 15 days from St. Thomas, we are informed, that on the 26th June, accounts were brought there by the sch'r Neutrality from Laguira, that all the ports in the province of Caracas were declared open for neutrals from the 16th June, Danes and Swedes were allowed 30 days, and Americans 90 days, on paying a duty of 30 per cent. in consequence of which permission, Mr. Murphy of St. Thomas, dispatched a vessel on the 28th for Laguira, and several others sailed for that province in the course of 4 or 5 days afterwards.
August 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability in Providence, dated 31st ult.
"There are no new cases of the yellow fever since last Saturday, and we are in hopes that every part of the town will be perfectly safe by the end of the present week."
"We attribute all this misfortune to the sloop Friendship, which arrived here some weeks since from a southern port, and has ever since been lying at the wharf. On the 19th inst, the attempt was made to clean her out, but she was found to be so excessively filthy as not only to make those on board violently sick, but the stench of the bilge water was so intolerable as to extend the effect to the neighbouring houses, and compel them to shut their doors and windows. On the 21st, some of their inhabitants began to complain; on the 22d, a physician who had eight patients declared, that if he knew of an arrival from the West-Indies to that part of the town he should conclude it to be the yellow fever."
"The moment the complaint was known the Town Council ordered the removal of all the inhabitants from the lower end of the town to Powers Lane, between the river, in the west side of the back street, which was punctually complied with, leaving only two families too much afflicted with the disease to bear it; these are now out of danger."
"Twenty persons have been taken down with the fever, of whom four have died, the rest are considered in a state of convalescence. The physicians pronounce it less malignant than it has ever been before."
ALEXANDRIA, August 7.
It is with concern we state that a DUEL was fought this morning about 5 o'clock, at Johnson's Spring, on the Virginia side the Potomac, and about 8 miles from this
town, between T. M. Lyles, Esq. of this place, and Mr. J. F. Bowie of Piscataway in Maryland.—The gentlemen exchanged shots at the distance of five feet, when unfortunately Mr. L. was wounded just below the right breast; the ball passing through the liver, there is but little hope of his recovery.
John A. Burford, the person apprehended on suspicion of wounding and robbing Mr. Peters, yesterday underwent his final examination before the magistrates, and was committed for trial at the next court, which commences on the 4th Monday of November next.
August 9.
Mr. Lyles, the gentleman we mentioned in our last as having been engaged in a duel, is, we are sorry to say, since dead.
CHARLESTON, July 29.
Captain Tate from Guadalupe, was boarded off the Bar, yesterday, by a French privateer schooner mounting 4 short guns, and one 18 pounder, and apparently about one hundred men on board; who appropriated to a motley collection of all nations. We are sorry to state that Capt. Tate recognized several Americans, and among them a Captain Ross, who formerly stiled out of this port.
Captain Tate informs, that the brig Lydia, Patterson, of this port, captured by a French privateer in Turks Island passage, had been carried into St. Bartholomew's; and the Capt. and crew liberated. The privateer had arrived at Guadalupe, and the commander having informed the commander in chief of his having liberated Capt. Patterson, General Ernouf expressed his approbation of his conduct, not wishing any more Americans, so situated, to be brought into Guadalupe.
On his outward bound passage, 24 hours after leaving this port, Capt. Tate was boarded by a French privateer, who robbed him of every article they could lay their hands on—compelled him to open his hatches, and took out several articles of his cargo.
Times.
July 30.
The ship Benjamin of New York, capt. Scofield, was captured off our Bar yesterday afternoon, by the French privateer cruising off this port. This is believed to be the ship which was taken by a French privateer some months since, on her passage from the Cape of Good Hope for Havana, and re-taken by the British and sent to Kingston, where she was brought in by Americans, and was now sailing under American colours. Captain Scofield is on board the privateer; the male remains in the ship; and the crew were brought up last evening in a pilot boat.—Capt. S. belongs to Norfolk.
Courier.
Capt. Taggart from Africa, was boarded yesterday morning, by the French privateer schooner; they were very insolent and threatened to take some of his slaves.

KNOXVILLE, (Ten.) July 17.
We learn by a gentleman who left S. W. Point on Monday evening last, that he there saw a gen. leman directly from High-wasa! who informed him that Col. Meigs had received a letter from gen.

Meigs' opinion that the Cherokees would give up on good terms all the land they now claim on the north side of Tennessee river.

Bryan, at Ricketts, inclosed a bond given me in November last, by John Roberts and Richard Allen, of Nottoway county, for fifty dollars, payable to me in the term of six months after date, which I have this day learnt was never delivered to said Bryan.—I hereby forbid the payment of said bond to any other but myself, or my order.

WILLIAM & MARY LOTTERY.
Williamsburg, July 27, 1805. The Commissioners of the Lottery for the Benefit of William and Mary College, think it necessary to make known to the adventurers in the first class that course which they have resolved to pursue...
Such a close the Commissioners had reason confidently to anticipate, as they had committed the drawing to Gentlemen, whose probity is so well known, and whose zeal in the interests of Literature merits their warmest acknowledgment.
For that course the Commissioners have laboriously sought. They have not only weighed, in their own minds, the predictions of those who oppose, and of those who contend for a re-drawing; they have not only given their respective claims the most impartial investigation...
The decision as to one prize, will establish a principle applicable to all prizes, and will furnish a rule for the conduct of the Commissioners.
If payment be adjudged, the drawing is completed; if the contrary be decided, the re-drawing will commence immediately after the decision is received.
Signed, by direction of the Commissioners. JAMES MADISON, Chairman.

SIR. THE following, if esteemed worthy, might fill a vacant spot in your Argus. They are reflections founded on fact.
AND must I leave those friends I lov'd so long; And must I quit the seat of youthful peace, To visit distant parts, and dwell among Strangers who will not wish to give me ease!
Must those dear scenes of youthful pleasure past, No more return unto my longing view: Blest seat, the time on which I saw you last, I took my long, my last, my sad adieu!
Ah! o'er those fields so dear, shall I ne'er rove; No longer greet the friendly neighbor near: No more think o'er my tales of former love; No more partake of friendly converse dear!
Ah! tho' of friends hard fortune doth deprive, Yet gratitude to me shall still be dear: And when in tho't those pleasing scenes revive, The name of "Ben y'" shall command a tear!

GEORGE is about 25 years of age, about 6 feet high, spare made, but a very active negro, fond of drink, and a very forward saucy fellow. I expect they have ob- tained free passes and will endeavor to pass for free negroes; it is probable they are lurking about Manchester, Richmond or Petersburg; they were seen in Manchester a few days past.

VALUABLE COAL LANDS, TO BE LET UPON A LEASE FOR YEARS. THE Coal Lands at Dover, in the county of Goochland, joining Dr. John A- dams's coal pits and Mr. Graham's, belonging to the subscribers. The situation is uncommonly advantageous for coal works. The distance from the Manakintown ferry on James river, about 300 yards—the slope so advantageous as to render it extremely easy to construct wagon ways for transporting the coals to the river at little or no expense. There is a very fine landing on the ri- ver bank, belonging to the estate, for depositing the coals, from whence they can be conveyed in- to the boats by a wooden trunk, with great ex- pedition and ease. The situation is such as to enable the coalmaster to carry on the works for many years without interruption from subtra- ctions water so troublesome and expensive at coal pits. The body of coal is considered very abun- dant, and not in the smallest degree exhausted, as there has been only one small shaft made on the edge of the land, and works so far as to prove the excellent quality of the coals and the ease with which they may be raised. We will attach to the colliery a SMALL FARM, if required, within one mile, with useful improvements. For fur- ther information apply to the subscribers at the city of Richmond. David Ross.

BENJAMIN DU-VAL. At the sign of the Golden Mortar, Richmond, H AS just received a very large and extensive assortment of fresh MEDICINES, SUR- GEON'S INSTRUMENTS, DRUGS & DYE- STUFFS, PAINTS of all kinds, OIL, VAR- NISHES, PUTTY, &c. Also, a complete assortment of HATTERS' MATERIALS, consisting of Hatters' Irons | Crude Tarter Logwood | Bason Irons Coppersas | Bow-Strings Virdegreas | Linings Fustic | Galoons Spanish Indigo | Tassel Bands Oil of Vitriol | Rubbing Dishes Ag. Fortis | Stampers Quicksilver | Trenchers, &c. Which added to his former Stock, completes an assortment that was never equalled, in his line of business, in this city. He thanks his customers for past favors, and hopes to merit a continuation of their custom. His former attention to the quality of his Medi- cines, importing them in their crude state, that he might be able to judge of their quality and pow- dering and preparing them under his immediate inspection, have contributed to his present esta- blishment; and opposition he presumes will not relax his exertions to give general satisfaction in future. His experience for more than 12 years past, as Apothecary and Druggist in this city, added to a small stock of Medical Information acquired be- fore, enables him, he thinks, to form a tolerably correct judgment as to the quality of Drugs and Medicines, although he cannot boast of honors conferred on him greater than the confidence of numerous and respectable customers. In regard to his wholesale prices, he promises to furnish each of his wholesale customers with a printed price current, as soon as possible, and feels himself confident in their approbation, know- ing that no one in this state can afford to under- sell him. This he intends to do, not to get others' customers from them, but to secure his own. Any articles that may be ordered and not ap- proved of as to quality, may be returned if in good order, and in a reasonable time. Richmond, May 30, 1805. (3w&1f)
