A Runaway. ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK, left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twilled Virginia cloth and pantaloons of the same. As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipling houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expenses. I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars.

ELOQUENT ADDRESS. —Without meddling at all with the controversy which has now arisen between the Sons of Erin and those who have so long and so loudly proclaimed themselves the exclusive friends of the people, as the sole welcomers of the emigrant to our shores, I may be permitted at least to admire the eloquent and elegant production to which this occasion has given birth. As a composition it may almost vie with some of the noblest efforts of their countryman the immortal Curran. It is republished for the gratification of those who may never have seen the paper in which it originally appeared.—[Evening Post.]
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
EQUAL RIGHTS!
GENERAL MEETING.
At a respectable meeting, consisting of about five hundred adopted republican citizens of the city of New York, held at Lyon's hotel, Mott-street, on Friday evening, the 4th inst.
Mr. Archibald Taylor being unanimously called to the chair, and Dr. Stephen Dempsey appointed secretary.
The subjoined address and resolutions were unanimously adopted.
ADDRESS.
To the adopted republican citizens of the city of New-York.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
A long train of disagreeable circumstances have called us together and induced us to address you upon a subject, which for years, we have acutely felt and deeply deplored. Some of you groaning under oppression in your native land, have voluntarily emigrated from it, whilst others, more afflicted by despotism and less favored by propitious events, find yourselves in the condition of involuntary exile. All, however, have chosen as a resting place in the journey through life, this "asylum for the oppressed of all nations." Here, perhaps, mistaking the character of human nature, we pleasingly anticipated, from those who avow themselves the friends and champions of freedom, exemption from that religious persecution and civil tyranny, whose iron and inexorable reign had forced us from our native country. Alas! How greatly were we mistaken! How egregiously have we been disappointed! Our constitutions and governments are indeed free, but between these admirable institutions and ourselves a tyranny is intervened, much less tolerable than that from which we fled. We are denominated foreigners, and treated as slaves.
On this odious subject, we beseech you, fellow citizens, to listen to us.
The land in which we live, discovered by an illustrious Spaniard, was settled by our free, enterprising and hardy countrymen. Oppression in church and state, to which they were too proud and enlightened to submit, forced them, as it has compelled you, to leave their native homes, and to seek, in the wilds of America, freedom and repose. Here, where the panther, held dominion, they settled, resting their weary limbs, and piously thanking God for their deliverance from the intolerance of the church and the despotism of the state: here, our noble and highminded ancestors, introducing our principles, our language, and our habits, laid the foundation of this vast empire; for themselves, for their descendants, and for their countrymen. This therefore is truly, and we may emphatically assert, the land of our fathers. Why then are we persecuted? Why are invidious distinctions malignantly disseminated and industriously maintained? Why are we branded with the offensive epithet of foreigners!
Fellow citizens, we are thirty-three years old as a nation—the moment before the declaration of independence was promulgated by congress and confirmed by the provincial legislatures, every man in the colonies was a subject of the king of England. Then, the English, the Irish, the Scotch, and the native descendants of our countrymen, owed the same allegiance and received the same protection. All, with few exceptions, revolted, and of those exceptions the native descendants of our ancestors were the most numerous. In the memorable war for independence, (freedom was afterwards to be established and maintained) the Europeans,
who constituted a full moiety of our efficient force, were distinguished for fidelity to the country, zeal in its cause, wisdom in its councils, and intrepidity in the field. Upon the illustrious names of Montgomery, Gates and Mercer we reflect with proud satisfaction. Irishmen! The gallant Montgomery, who nobly fell in defence of our independence, drew his first breath in that land exuberant in poets and in orators, whose green fields have for ages been drenched with the blood of her children, for having made generous efforts to obtain national independence and republican freedom. Englishmen! That accomplished soldier, Gates, the conqueror of Burgoyne, the achiever of a military event most splendid in our history, and upon which, in a great measure, the success of the revolution depended, was born in that island which gave birth to Shakespeare and to Milton, to Newton and to Locke, to Sydney and to Russel; to so many sages and martyrs of freedom, and from which all our correct notions of civil liberty are drawn. Scotchmen! Descendants of a learned and gallant ancestry, Mercer, who bravely sealed with his blood the independence of the U. S. was the countryman of Bruce and Wallace, of Home and Burns, of Hume and Robertson. All, at the brilliant period of our history to which we refer, were undistinguished but by merit. All, in case of failure in our revolutionary struggles, had committed the same offence, and incurred the same punishment, for all were subjects of the same monarch. Then, animated with a noble ardor in a glorious cause, and united by common danger & common advantages, envious distinctions between Citizens of native and foreign birth, the effect of ignorance or the dictate of personal aggrandizement, were unknown. Fayette was eulogised—Hamilton caressed—Pulaski lamented, and Steuben revered. Congress, following the sage example of Peter the Great; cherishing a liberal and enlightened policy; knowing that national population is national strength, and that literature and the sciences constitute the solid foundations of national greatness, invited and encouraged emigration. In one of the many impressive and eloquent appeals to reason and to the passions which were issued to admiring and enlightened world by that sagacious and illustrious body, more than native immunities were held forth, as incentives to emigrants. Is the endearing address of Congress to the people of Ireland forgotten? Has faction absorbed—has clamor banished revolutionary opinions, and violence stunned revolutionary feeling? Are we a degenerate race, unworthy of the renown, incapable of appreciating and unable justly to estimate the virtues of those times? In that address, the people of Ireland were saluted as brethren of the same principles—victims of the same oppression—involved in the same ignominy, and co-inheritors of the same benefits, with which the efforts of Congress might or might not be crowned. They were represented as identified with revolutionary America in consanguinity, in cause, in feeling, and in interest, and they were cordially invited to come and equally to partake of the new world. We cheerfully availed ourselves of the invitation;—we have made permanent settlements in the land of our forefathers; we admire and we are attached to our republican institutions; we have complied with the injunctions of the constitutions and the laws, and we will support them, upon equal terms, with our lives and our fortunes. But how are we treated? What has been our reception? Has good faith been observed? Have the promises been performed? Are not we, who are CITIZENS, by all the solemnities and obligations of Law , treated as aliens, stigmatized as foreigners , made use of for personal and party purposes, but carefully excluded even from choice in the selection of our rulers? Can any other definition of slavery be given? Can human ingenuity devise any species of offence more galling and compleat, more humiliating and degrading? We complain not of the constitution and the laws: they are liberal in principle and benign in operation. They enjoin an abjuration of former allegiance: we have with alacrity complied with the injunction. They require an oath of fidelity to the union and to the states: devoted in spirit and in truth to both we have eagerly taken it. What more is required? What more can be expected? The laws require no more. Shall an underplot, a counter operation, individual jealousy, and pale-faced cabal, frowned upon by the very elements of the state, subvert the law—put it at defiance—trample it under foot? The law places upon the same undistinguishable level, the citizen of native and the citizen of foreign birth. Are we to be told in an enlightened age that the law is not to govern —that the essence of well ordered society is not a government of laws, but a government
of the worst passions? Go back, then, to a state of anarchy; tear out the bowels of society; revert to the rude condition of untutored nature, and let the strongest govern. We have never ceased to cherish and to inculcate those opinions which are most consonant to civil and social state. We have remonstrated against distinctions, at once impolitic and unjust, between native and adopted citizens; but our remonstrances and our efforts have been in vain. No zeal, no exertions, no services, however disinterested, unremitted and great, have been sufficient to shield us from an epithet which, while it poisons the social and impairs the enjoyment of political life, must ultimately terminate in the ruin of the republican party in this city. We have been incessantly calumniated for having been born in the land which gave birth to the fathers of this country . After long and patient suffering under accumulated abuse from many of the very party which we have zealously and at great expence of labor and money supported, a line of demarcation is at length drawn, too legible to be mistaken, and too offensive not to rouse your feelings. Fellow-citizens, you are systematically excluded from the republican committee of nomination , now assembled to name representatives to govern you . Look at the ward committees, read over their names, and lo! how entirely, and with what caution and care you have been excluded from a vote in the selection of legislators by whose acts your lives, your liberty, and your property will be bound? Is not this the very despotism from which you revolted in your native land? Is it not in kind and degree exactly the despotism from which the colonies, now the United States, revolted when under the dominion of the British king? What greater tyranny can you be under than that which calls upon you to support legislators in the selection of whom you have no choice? "Representation and taxation," Congress asserted when it severed the ties which had bound the colonies to the parent state, "are inseparable." The maxim was just then, and it is so now. If it, at any time, stood in need of the force of authority and the persuasions of eloquence, both were lavished upon it in the parliament of England, when England was transporting higher her fleets and her armies to repress the welcome risings of a free spirit. "My position, said the great lord Camden in the house of lords, is this; I repeat it; I will maintain it to my last hour. Taxation and representation are inseparable. This position is founded on the laws of nature. It is more; it is itself an eternal law of nature. For whatever is a man's own, is absolutely his own. No man has a right to take it from him without his consent. Whoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury; whoever does it, commits a robbery." Alas! has our republic turned upon itself, and in the short period of twenty years (from the adoption of the constitution) abandoned its own principles? To you, fellow-citizens, the maxim is now denied! Taxation and representation are no longer inseparable! The same despotism which England attempted to impose upon the United States is now lorded over you. You will be called upon in the imperious name of the law, to contribute your proportion to the maintenance of government: for you, laws will be made prescribing punishment, and awarding death; but remember, that the persons, who view you as their slaves, have assiduously excluded you from the selection of men to whom power so important and of such magnitude is to be confided. Shall we again name the known and alleged cause of this exclusion? It is said that you are FOREIGNERS! Yes, you who have complied with all the requisitions and the laws, and are of right and in fact and to all intents and purposes citizens , are banished, by men calling themselves republicans, from public confidence!—Countrymen of Orr, of Emmet and of Tone, of Gerald and of Margaret, of Fletcher and of Skirving, what say you to this? If all self-respect and national recollections be not extinct—if you are not the inglorious descendants of illustrious ancestors—if all remembrance of the tyranny which you yourselves have suffered, and the toils and perils which you have encountered, to escape from its deadly grasp, be not removed from the seat of memory—if your feelings be not blunted by faction—if your hearts are susceptible of a pang, you will resist this systematic effort to reduce you to the vile condition of slaves. You will be called upon to vote for the republican ticket. Vote not at all. Those who have for years ridiculed many of you and calumniated you all, and who have at length capped the climax of their sneers and their insults by excluding you from the committee of nomination, will solicit, flatter, and cajole you in behalf of a ticket, which they have kindly nominated for you! Fellow-citizens, WITHHOLD YOUR VOTES. Tell them, if you con-
descend to listen to their importunities for your suffrages, that you will extend your aid to the Republican cause when that liberality equalling the liberality of the law, will admit you to an equal participation. Resolve to abstain from the poll, and which your would-be-master , by mildness of demeanor and firmness of resolution, persisting tyranny, wherever you find it, or from whatever quarter it may come, you will be respected.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas the just resistance of the colonies, now United States, to the government of England, founded upon the fact, that the colonies were not represented in the parliament, and that therefore they were not bound by its laws; and whereas our countryman essentially contributed to the achievement of our independence; & whereas we have been systematically excluded from the general republican committee, now assembled, and therefore from all choice in the selection of members who are to represent the city of New York in the assembly of the state.—Therefore
Resolved unanimously , That repelling with just indignation a distinction made between republican citizens of the same state we will not support a ticket, in the formation of which we have been excluded from any participation.
Resolved unanimously , That 500 copies of the above address and resolution be printed in handbills, for the benefit of our fellow republican adopted citizens.
Resolved unanimously , That the said address and resolutions be published in the American Citizen.

FOREIGN.
(VIA NEW-YORK)
LONDON, March 4.
Dutch papers have arrived to the first instant, and we find from them that the indication of hostilities between Austria and France grow stronger every day. While the war languishes in Spain, and is confined entirely to the siege of Saragossa, troops are marching in great haste to the Rhine, and the scene of active military movements has been transferred on a sudden from Spain to Germany. Divisions that were on their march to the Pyrenees have been countermanded and ordered to proceed to the Rhine. Marshal Macey who was employed before Saragossa has been directed to return to Paris; and gen. Oudinot has received a destination towards Augsburg. At the same time the greatest activity is observable among the troops of Bavaria, Baden, Darmstadt, and Wurtemberg and their contingents are to be ready to march at an hour's notice. The palace of Strasburg is preparing for Bonaparte, and there are reports even of his having arrived at Augsburg. But this we do not believe. He has demanded, however, a categorical answer from the court of Vienna with respect to the object of its armaments, and has required, as a proof of his pacific disposition, that its military force shall be reduced to 45,000 men, a requisition which will not of course be complied with. There is a circular letter from the prince of Nassau Usingen to the states of the Confederation, in which, while he talks of warlike preparations, he expresses a hope that war may yet be avoided. Bonaparte has also, in calling upon the states for their contingents, stated that it will depend upon Austria whether they will be wanted or not. But he is convinced, we are persuaded, that war is inevitable; though it is his usual practice to affect to believe to the last moment that no power can have any hostile intentions towards him—"Why are they going to war with me?"—was his hypocritical cry before the last war with Austria, and the subsequent cry with Prussia.
What will be the conduct of Russia? for of Prussia it were needless to speak, her military force being so small as to be of little weight in any scale into which it may be thrown. Bonaparte has informed us that he and the emperor Alexander are intimately united both for peace and for war. No cabinet is so remarkable for sudden changes of policy as the cabinet of St. Petersburg; but we see little reason at present for supposing that Bonaparte has lost his influence over it; it will not, however, be able to unite its whole force to the French, for the peace between Great Britain and Turkey, which has led to a rupture of the negotiations between Turkey and Russia, will employ a large part of the Russian force in Turkey, and the war with Sweden will occupy another portion. Russia too must keep

THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U. States,) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma and approaching consumptions.—Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever: But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them, and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who 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 cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, jr.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others the excellent quality of Hamilton's Elixir, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it; which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these, a constant pain in my breast, and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption.—The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, but without giving me any relief. Another physician, who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's and I found relief before I had taken half of it. I continued to use it, and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the Elixir.
GEO. BENNER, Junior, No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously indisposed, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, insomuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general of Maryland.
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 coughs, colds, 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 soreness, 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.
