PUBLIC AUCTION. To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the courthouse. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

Apply to Mr. JOHN DULIN, adjoining the said farm, or the subscriber on the premises. E. Dulin. June 9.
TO MILLERS. I HAVE invented a machine called a Wheat Rubber, for which I obtained a patent on the first day of this month. This machine may be seen in operation in the mill of Nathaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those millers who feel an interest in investigating its merit and have not an opportunity of visiting Occoquan, may bequan, may be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott by letter. My Wheat-Rubber, I do verily believe is upon entirely new principles, the cost of erecting it a trifle, the materials of which it is composed easily attainable in any part of our country, and the plan simple in the extreme: any workman of common capacity will be enabled to erect from description only. Practical millers know, that in a great proportion of the wheat that comes to market (from the manner it is stacked in the fields by the farmers and exposed to the weather) a number of sprouted and unsound grains mingle with the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity of the miller to separate it from the sound grain—they also know those unsound grains injure materially the taste and color of flour—my machine not only frees the wheat of stone, onion, cockle, dirt, &c. but does absolutely take from it every unsound grain, from what cause soever it may have been injured, as my machine will not let any unsound wheat pass it—millers may have their screen wire much finer than hitherto used, and thereby save considerably—it will also be found that the grain in passing the rubber, is polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat is picked perfectly clean of dust or dirt. Some instances having occurred of certificates being obtained, saying much more in favor of a new invention than the public are willing to admit after trial—I hope it will be a sufficient apology for my taking a different course. My price for the privilege of using the rubber is fifty dollars for each pair of wheat stones the mill contains. Letters directed to me post paid shall be attended to. James Deneale. Dumfries, Va. July 10.—11. Printing in its various branches executed with accuracy and dispatch.

CAMBDEN is a dark mulatto, his hair rather inclined to curl, and lately cut also in the same manner as Billy's; well set, and when walking has his eyes turned towards the ground, as if looking for something; about 14 years of age.

C A N Z O N. FROM CAMOENS.
When day has smil'd a soft farewell, And night-drops bathe each shutting bell, And shadows sail along the green, And birds are still, and winds serene, I wander silently.
And while my footsteps print the dew, Dear are the dreams that bless my view, To memory's eye the maid appears, For whom has sprung my sweetest tears, So oft so tenderly :
I see her, as with graceful care She binds her braids of sunny hair ; I feel her harp's melodious thrill Strike to my hear—and thence be still Re echo'd faithfully ;
I meet her mild and quiet eye. Drink the warm spirit of her sigh, See young Love beating in her breast, And wish to mine its pulses prest, God knows how fervently.
Such are my hours of dear delight, And morn but makes me long for night, And think how swift the minutes flew When last among the dropping dew, I wander'd silently.
THE FLOWER OF SHANNON, A Song from the Irish.
There's music in Elvina's feet, My beating heart begins to dance, Whene'er the lovely maid I meet, And feel the light'ning of her glance.
Upon the banks of sweet Lougre, I've form'd an arbor for my fair ; And if she'll yield her hand to me, I'll plant the Flower of Shannon there.
The turtle dove here builds her nest, Attended by her faithful mate ; And I, when with my charmer blest, Their constancy will imitate.
Then come, Elvina : to my arms, Consent, my Connal's bribe to be, Who, while life's spark his bosom warms, Will take delight in pleasing thee.
From the New-Jersey, Telescope.
The poor abuses of the times want countenance"—That a principal stopping-stone by which Mr. Jefferson mounted to the presidency was by raising a hue and cry about the necessity of economy in republics, is a self-evident truth. The people were promised every thing, if they would only consent to confer on him the office of chief magistrate : a mighty reform in the municipal regulation of our government affairs was to ensue—a repeal of all taxes—redemption of the public debt—the exercise of a spirit of wisdom, that should ensure peace with the whole world ; in fine, we were told to believe that we would experience a millennial season ; a golden age, to which the history of past times could furnish no parallel—Nay, so enthusiastic were the admirers and under-workers to this great Mammoth of Democracy, that they would almost have tried to persuade us to turn Rosicrucians, and believe that their idol possessed, beside all his other philosophic qualifications, the inestimable secret of converting the products of the earth into gold, without the necessity of labor.
With such flattering promises, a party was won, sufficiently strong to clothe him with presidential honors. No sooner was he seated in power, than he commenced a course of measures which were to effect the fulfilment of the foregoing promises. How far these measures have tended towards producing a better state of things in our country, the history of an eight years administration will best determine. The taxes on articles of luxury were taken off,—whilst those on articles consumed by the poorer classes of the people were continued. A mountain of salt was, to be sure, said to be discovered, and a large territory was purchased to obtain this mountain, perhaps with a view to supply the poor with a very necessary article of consumption.—I believe it must have been an unfortunate speculation, for though the purchase was made, and paid at the expence of several millions of dollars, I have never yet heard that the salt mountain was to be found any
where but in the imagination of Mr. Jefferson.
A saving system, too, was to be introduced by Mr. J. in regulating government expenditures : some trifling innovations were made. But, the spirit of wisdom which was to insure the good will of all the world, soon discovered itself, in a strong partiality for one rival foreign nation over another ; and by involving us in a series of difficulties with two European powers, called for disbursements that proved very destructive to the saving project. A strong and unreasonable predilection for belligerent France, served to excite the jealousy of her opponent, England. An expired treaty between Great Britain and the United States was to be revived, or a new one substituted : at the prospect of the two governments being likely to effect this important object, the jealousy of favorite France was roused—and, to throw obstacles in the way of this settlement, Bonaparte passed decrees to hamper our commerce with England. Retaliatory decrees were of course to be expected on the part of Great Britain ; and they did ensue. Not contented with putting restrictions on our lawful trade, the French emperor issued his imperious threat that, war with France should be a consequence of our accommodation with England! From the hostility of our executive to Great Britain, our country was thus placed in a situation delicate in the extreme. Negotiation was retarded ; opposition talked loudly of ; preparation for war must be made ; a cock-boat navy was, at an enormous expence, put in motion, backed by a paper warfare of embargo. We were now brought exactly into a situation favorable to Mr. Jefferson for making a grand experiment ; our commerce with Europe totally suspended, the attempt could be made to force us to become exclusively a manufacturing nation : but the experiment failed. Measures so repugnant to the habits and interests could not be endured ; the good sense of the people triumphed over their prejudices ; and by a patriotic expression of their sentiments, as well in respectful as spirited remonstrances to their government, as also by the determination they evinced of changing their rulers, the Jeffersonians in Congress became alarmed ; they saw their popularity tottering ; and, in the confusion into which they were thrown, accidentally adopted a train of counter-measures which, placing our relations with England and France on a perfect equality, is likely, thro' the wise conduct of president Madison, to bring our differences with the former to a speedy and happy termination.
To what degree a saving system was adopted by Mr. Jefferson, may be seen by recurring to the report of the secretary of the treasury, lately submitted to congress. It will be found that, by the continuance of the embargo, unprecedented in the annals of nations, millions have been lost to our revenue—while at the same time millions have been expended on gun-boats and military preparations, which might have been saved, if a spirit of conciliation had been practised on the part of our executive. But this is the least evil which has grown out of the saving system. Thousands of our countrymen, dependent on commerce for their support, have been ruined in their fortunes ; others suffered all the accumulated miseries of want ; and many have fled their country to seek in a more friendly clime the bread which had been wrested "from the mouth of labor," by restraining them from occupations in which alone they could hope to earn it.
With facts such as these staring them in the face, will any hesitate to pursue the plain way of duty that lies straight before them ? I am certain that the enlightened people of New-Jersey will not fail to profit by the example of their eastern friends—they became convinced of their duty, of the necessity of a return to first principles, the principles which actuated the founders of their country's liberties : and, with patriots, in New-Jersey as well as elsewhere, conviction of duty is alone necessary to ensure correct and prompt action.

VIA NEW-YORK.
London papers to the 29th May inclusive by a vessel in 48 days from Bristol, have been received at New York.
Mr. Erskine is recalled from America and Mr. Jackson, the gentleman appointed to succeed him, was to sail for Hampton Roads in a frigate about the first of last month.
From the London Gazette of May 27.
At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 24th of May, 1809, present the King's most excellent majesty in council.
Whereas his majesty was pleased, by his order in council of the 26th of April last, to declare certain ports and places of the countries which have been lately styled the kingdom of Holland, to be subject to the restrictions incident to a strict and rigorous blockade, as continued from his majesty's former order of the 11 Nov. 1807, and whereas advices have been received of a certain provisional agreement entered into by his majesty's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary in America, with the government of the U. States, whereby it is understood that his majesty's orders in council of the 7th of Jan. and of the 11th Nov. 1807, shall be withdrawn so far as respects the U. S. on the 10th of June next.
And whereas, although the said provisional agreement is not such as was authorised by his majesty's instructions, or such as his majesty can approve, it may already have happened, or may happen, that persons being citizens of the said U. S. may be led by a reliance on the said provisional arrangements, to engage in trade with and to the said ports and places of Holland, contrary to, and in violation of the restrictions imposed by the said orders of the 7th of Jan. and of the 11th Nov. 1807, as altered by the order of the 26th of April last ; his majesty, in order to prevent any inconvenience that may ensue from the circumstances above recited is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said several orders shall be suspended, so far as is necessary for the protection of vessels of the said U. S. so sailing under the faith of the said provisional agreement, viz. That after the 9th day of June next, no vessel of the U. S. which shall have cleared out, between the 19th of April last, and the 20th of July ensuing, for any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, from any port of the U. S. shall be molested or interrupted in her voyage by the commanders of his majesty's ships or privateers.
And it is further ordered, that no vessels of the United States, which shall have cleared out from any port of America, previous to the 20th of July next, for any other permitted port, and shall, during her voyage, have changed her destination, in consequence of information of the said provisional agreement, and shall be proceeding to any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, shall be molested or interrupted by the commanders of any of his majesty's ships or privateers, unless such vessel shall have been warned not to proceed to any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, and shall, notwithstanding such warning, be found attempting to proceed to any such port.
And it is further ordered, that after the said ninth day of June next, no vessel of the said United States shall have cleared out, or be destined to any of the ports of Holland from any port or place not subject to the restrictions of the said order of the twenty-sixth of April last, after notice of such provisional agreement as aforesaid, shall be molested or interrupted in her voyage by the commanders of his majesty's ships or privateers, provided such vessel shall have so cleared out previous to actual notice of this order at such place of clearance, or in default of proof of actual notice previous to the like periods of time, after the date of this order, as are fixed for constructive notice of his majesty's order of the eleventh of November, one thousand eight hundred and seven, by the orders of the twenty-fifth November, one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the eighteenth of May, one thousand eight hundred and eight, at certain places and latitudes therein mentioned, unless such vessel shall have been informed of this order on her voyage, and warned by any of his majesty's ships or privateers not to proceed to any port of Holland, and shall, notwithstanding such warning, attempt to proceed to any such port.
And his Majesty is pleased further to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said several orders of the seventeenth of January and eleventh of November, one thousand eight hundred and seven, as altered by the said order of the 26th of April last, shall also be suspended, so far as is necessary for the protection of vessels of the said
United States which shall clear out to ports not declared to be under the restriction of blockade from any port of Holland between the ninth day of June and the fifth day of July next ; provided always that nothing that is contained in the present order shall extend, or be construed to extend to protect any vessels or their cargoes, nor may be liable to condemnation or detention for any other cause than the violation of the aforesaid orders of the seventh of January and the eleventh of November, one thousand eight hundred and seven, as altered by the said order of the twenty-sixth of April last.
Provided also, that nothing in this order contained shall extend, or be construed to extend to protect any vessel which shall attempt to enter any port actually blockaded by any of his majesty's ships or war.
And the right honorable the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, his majesty's principal secretaries of state, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, the judge of high court of admiralty and the judges of the courts of vice-admiralty, are to give the necessary directions herein as to them may respectively appertain.

Foreign Office, May 29.
The king has been pleased to appoint Francis James Jackson, esq. to be his majesty's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States of America.
LONDON, May 29.
Portuguese papers arrived this morning to the 17th inst. The following are their contents :
LISBON, May 16.
The English entered Oporto on Friday last and the French have returned to Vologos, about two leagues to the east of Oporto, where they are completely surrounded. No official account has as yet been received, but I believe our loss does not appear to be considerable, excepting the 15th light dragoons, who have suffered very much. General Mackenzie's brigade remain at Tuomar, and are in readiness to adopt any measures that may be rendered necessary by the movements of general Victor's army, which is present, however, completely blocked up by the south by general Cuesta, and seems to have no more chance of escaping than that in the north.
Authentic letters from Lamego, of the 9th inst. state, that the Portuguese are in possession of Pezo de Regoa, and occupy positions on the other side of the Douro, that the passage to that river is perfectly open to our army. No action has yet taken place. The rumors of battles which are said to have been fought are therefore unfounded.
The captain of a vessel which on the 12th inst. arrived from Galicia, affirms, that that province has completely recovered its liberty, and that the French are blockaded up both in Ferrol and Corunna by the army of the marquis de Romana. They are not expected to make a long resistance. It is so seems to be certain that several thousand English troops have been disembarked at Vigo. The French in lower Estramadura have fallen back from Menda to Truxillo, leaving a garrison in the former town. They collect all the small parties dispersed through that province.—Lisbon Gazette May 16.
LONDON, May 26.
A message from his majesty was last night delivered to both houses of parliament, stating the restoration of the ancient relations of friendship between his majesty and the emperor of Austria, and his desire to be enabled to assist his imperial majesty, &c. It is intended to move a vote of credit for three millions for these important objects.
May 29.
The dispatches received by government and by the Austrian ambassador are not so late a date as the last French bulletins. All the Austrian armies seem to be taking the direction of Hungary. General Bellegarde is at Pilsen, & the archduke Charles is at the Radbruz with about 120,000 men. The archduke Ferdinand remains at Warsaw, but will probably abandon it to strengthen the main Austrian army. General Hutter, with 50,000 men, was on the borders of Moravia—The army of the archduke John falling back in good order, has recrossed the Pagliamento and will proceed to Hungary. The brave Tyrolese make incursions into the heart of Suabia have pursued their parties almost to Augsburg and Munich—They have been at Memmingen, Kempten and Kaufbern. The French army is thus distributed :
The main body under Bonaparte is at Vienna. Bernadotte and Davoust are in Bohemia, watching the archduke Charles.

General Bellegarde. A battle was exact- to take place at Pilsen. The Duke of the division under Wrede, are marching from Salzburgh Jellachich and the marquis de Eugene Beauharnois is follow- the archduke John, who if he had not obliged to weaken his army by sending a force to gen. Hiler, would proba- by this time have been at Milan.
On Friday we received Dutch Gazettes the 24th, and a series of the Hamburgh sent to the 10th. We select the most important articles:—
ROTTERDAM, May 23. The Paris news of the 18th, states that Daroof, belonging to the Russian Le- at Vienna, has arrived at Paris with intelligence that Russia had declared against Austria. On Sunday at noon, we received the fol- intelligence, transmitted at 8 o'clock Friday by telegraph by order of the Prince Chancellor. The secret expedition sailed yesterday.— The command is entrusted to brigadier ge- Crauford.
PARIS, May 19. The French army made itself master of Vienna on the 12th of May. The above confirmed by the following letters. Paris, May 19. "The Moniteur of this states as follows: Yesterday evening Guehnen aid-de-camp to the duke of Conte-bello, arrived at the arch chance- lor's place, with dispatches from the emperor. Accounts that the French army entered Vienna on the 10th, when the following proclamation was issued: "Soldiers! A month ago the enemy assailed the Inn. On the same day, and at the same hour, we have entered Vienna. Their nation, their general insurrection, their bulwarks, which have been raised by the power of the princes of Lorraine, have not been able to withstand your presence. The princes of that house have abandoned their capital, not as warriors of honor, but egotists who are pursued by their self-re- scoffs. Flying from Vienna, their adieu the inhabitants has been fire and murder. Like Medea, they have destroyed their own children. The people of Vienna shall be the ob- ject of your regard. I take the inhabitants of this town under my particular protection but any disturbances or irregularities I will exemplarily punish. Soldiers, behave well to the people of the country. Let us take no pride in our successes; let us only regard them as a tool of Divine justice, which punishes in- atitude and want of faith. "NAPOLEON."
It is said the Austrians before they left Vienna were guilty of some horrible exces- ses. On the 11th, the emperor Napoleon was Schonbrunn, a pleasure house of the empe- ror of Austria, near Vienna. It is said the French army is in two divisions, one which proceeds to Hungary, and the other to Moravia and Bohemia; while the arch- duke Charles is retreating to cover those countries. The emperor has set at liberty a great number of Hungarians who were made prisoners. On the 25th of April the Russians were in motion to attack Gallicia.
MILAN, May 13. A part of the army commanded by prince Eugene is already on the Tagliamento.— The enemy flies with great rapidity.
ROTTERDAM, May 25. The official journal contains an account from Milan, dated May 21, which states in substance that according to all reports the Austrians on the 12th of May sustained a loss of full 2,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and that the French in follow- ing their advantages were already at Udina. At the same time the blockade of Parmano- was raised. On the 12th the French took quarters at St. Daniel.
Gen. Duherme writes from Barcelona, on the 27th April that every thing is tranquil around him; that the arrival of rear adm- l Colman, conveying with 5 sail of the line, 25 vessels, bearing 50,000 quintals of flour, roots and ammunition, has spread joy among the city and garrison; that Gen. Reding is dead of his wounds, and that him has perished one of the most formidable enemies of the French. The prompt- ness of the expedition with which rear ad- l Colman was charged, does honor to adm- l Ganteaume who command it.
HAMBURG, May 10. A formal declaration of war, by the Rus- sian court against Austria, has just been announced.
GOTTENBURG, May 10. The following is a list of American ships
captured by the Danes, and sent into Nor- way; their cargoes are taken out and sold, but it is thought they will not be condemned, viz:—Packet, Pedrich, from Marblehead; Anne, Howe, from Boston; Edward and Henry, Parker, from Massachusetts; Su- warrow, Leach, Beverly; America, Drink- water, from Portland; Good Friends, Thompson, from Philadelphia; and one o- ther ship name unknown.

New Declaration of Independence, by the good people of America, on the fourth day of March, 1809.
When in the course of human events it be- comes necessary for a free people to dissolve the political bands, which have connected them with an Idolised Ruler, and to de- grade him to that low and despicable station to which his incapacity, his vices and the laws of justice condemn him, a decent re- spect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the measure.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that rulers are responsible to their constitu- ents; are endowed, by them, with certain unalienable powers to be faithfully exercised in preserving the lives, liberty, and happi- ness of the people: that to secure these ob- jects governors were created among men, and whenever their conduct becomes de- structive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish their functions; and to elect new rulers, professing such principles as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru- dence, indeed, will dictate that men long in office should not be removed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly experi- ence hath shewn that we were disposed to suffer, while evils were sufferable. But when a long train of measures and abuses, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce us to absolute ruin and confusion, it is our right, it is our duty, to throw off such a leader, and to provide a new and better adviser. Such has been our patient sufferance, and such is the necessity which now constrains us to denounce our former chief. The history of the adminis- tration of the late president of the U. S. is a history of obstinate and destructive folly, of repeated usurpations and injuries—all having a direct tendency to establish an ab- solute anarchy in these states. To prove this let FACTS be submitted to a candid world.
He has opposed laws most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has destroyed our domestic peace, and interrupted our political and social harmony by introducing an inexorable spirit of party hatred and intolerance.
He has produced turbulence and dissention by having erected and cherished a ja- cobinical faction among us, whereby virtue and wisdom have been exalted to distinction and power.
He has removed from office the warworn veterans of the revolution, and conferred appointments of honor, confidence and profit on weak, unprincipled and presuming for- eigners.
He has demoralized public sentiment, misled and bewildered public judgement, by encouraging a laxity of manners, irreligion, and by disseminating wild and visionary po- litics.
He has wantonly destroyed a navy, which had been created to protect us from foreign mercenaries, thereby exposing the state to all the dangers of invasion.
He has prevented the population of these states by adopting a destructive policy cal- culated to deter foreigners from migrating hither.
He has obstructed the administration of justice by unlawfully remitting the penalty incurred by one profligate criminal, by ar- resting the prosecution of others, and en- deavoring to intimidate our judges.
He has attempted to make the judges de- pendent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices, by subjecting them to the des- potic control of his obsequious instruments.
He has created a multitude of new gun- boats and sent swarms of sailors, soldiers and officers to harass our own people and eat out their substance.
He has raised and kept among us 'in times of peace' a standing army to compel submission, to plunder our waters, ravage coasts and destroy the lives of our people.
He has affected to render the military inde- pendent of, or superior to the civil power, by protecting from punishment, with a mock trial, the military usurper, who had lawless- ly imprisoned our citizens with unheard of cruelty who
Had transported them over the sea to be tried for pretended offences.
Had deprived them of the benefit of trial by jury and
Had abolished the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establish- ing therein an arbitrary government.
He has given his assent to laws, For destroying our judiciary: For quartering large bodies of troops a- mong us:
For imposing taxes on us to lavish on a traiterous favorite, without our consent:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For taking from us many of our most va- luable rights, contrary to the fundamen- tal principles of our government:
He has combined with others to subject us to the jurisdiction of a foreign despot, unacknowledged by our laws, tacitly as- senting and conniving at his decrees and u- surpations.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens to bear arms against their country, and become the executioners of their friends and breth- ren in forcing obedience to unconstitutional edicts. He has excited domestic insurrec- tion and discords among us by ruinous and intolerable laws.
In every stage of these oppressions we have solicited redress in the most respect- ful terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injuries. A man, whose political character is marked by such conduct, is not fit to be the Direc- tor of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our democratic brethren. We have warn- ed them from time to time, of the attempts by their chief to introduce a ruinous and unwarrantable policy. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our peace, u- nion and happiness under the administra- tion of Washington. We have appealed to their self-love, to their justice and magna- nimity and we have conjured them by the ties of our common interest to disavow those measures and their author, which otherwise would destroy our country and might in- terrupt our connection and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of reason and justice. We must therefore ac- quiesce in the necessity which compels us to denounce them and their Idol; and we hold them, as we do the rest of mankind, mad-men when they impair their own hap- piness—enemies when they disturb ours.
We therefore, the good people of the U. States of America, do, in our own name and by our own authority, solemnly pub- lish and declare, that these United States are of right ought to be FREE and IN- DEPENDENT of the pernicious influence, counsel and control of the late president thereof, and are forever absolved from all attachment to him—and that being so, we will contract an alliance with England, de- clare war with France, if necessary, and do such other acts and things as a wise and free people ought to do for their happiness and safety. And in support of this decla- ration we mutually pledge to each other our sacred honor.

RECOMMENDATION. THE Superintendant of Police recom- mends to the citizens of Alexandria during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keep- ing clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them.
He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired— housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.

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

JUST RECEIVED,
FOR SALE ONLY BY James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET The following highly valuable MEDICINES Price 3 Dollars per bottle. DR. JEBB'S NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated through out Great Britain and the continent of Europe for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability as well as in complaints of complete decay, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this painful, and unfortunate to the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumption or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor) some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is as pure as the rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world, for their learning and skill in eradicating the diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which as known at this time by their descendants and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO, Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laced 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, Gleet, 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 other 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 GOIT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen as well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and extracts of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen applying as above.

A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED
ABAELLINO,
THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M c Lewis, the well known author of the Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Handsomely bound, one collar—the edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this! What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas! I blame ye not, for ye are mortal. And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil. Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell! Richard M c Lewis.
In justice to this excellent Romance, need only remark, that the Grand Bravos piece, which for several seasons past has such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dumas, but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis writings or translations in the Romance style being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of M c Lewis.
